PARTY SUGGESTIONS.—Having not- iced "Party"item in the issue of the 7th inst., we think it a grand idea, and would like to give our aid in such a beneficent scheme. We do not wish to rob the inventors of any of their due credit, but to give them just a few ideas as to the line of work and the best methods of going about it. It is noticed that there is a fine large pile of old shingles, to hew which into atoms will try severely all the art of arithmet- ical, algebraical or chemical solution, even if all three he "model" solution. Hence it would be advisable to delay the undertaking until Saturday, as those who are studying the atomic theory cf saltpetre etc, might be able to give the others a few hints. It is quite a big job, but some of the shingles be- ing willow, and others as light as peat, tern render it easier; so that all through we think the boys will have a fair chance to shay -their ability in this line, and many more enjoyable evenings may be spent by the" Welling Workers'.— 'A SIISCRIBER'. - Tuckersmith. NOTES. — Miss Marshall and Mr Taylor, of Bayfield, visited Miss Dodd on Sunday. Miss L. Ball, of Hullett, is visiting her sister here.

Rose, and the other to Mr Baker, Tuck- ersmith; the boys believe it is bet- ter to buy a wheel now at a bargain and carry it over, than pay a large price for a similar wheel in the spring Wm.

Elliott, V.S., of this city, as state veterinary surgeon, is one of the best and most satisfactory that Gov. Sheldon has made during bis three years' incum- bency of the executive chair. The of- fice in many respects a very important one, and those who know Dr Elliott are satisfied he will perform the duties of the place in a highly satisfactory manner. He is a graduate of the cele- brated veterinary college of Ontario, ft om which institution he retired with high honors. During his residence in this country he has made many friends, not only by superior skill in his profes- sion, but by his manly, upright and sterling personal qualities as well. He stands at the head of the veterinarians of this state and is one of the most re= spected residents of the community. Hundreds of warm personal friends congratulate him upon bis recent ap- pointment, in which congratulations the News desires to join most heartily.
