Mr. John • Johnston of Rattetbury street returned from the London rifle matches on Thursday evening and though not able to say that he figured among the prize winners, yet as his competitors were armed with the most modern rifles and he only with his good but antiquated Snider, 'he does not consider that he did so bad at all in the scoring.

He lives twenty-two .miles from here and very much nearer other markets but often finds it to his advantage to do business at the Hub.

The report that Mr, Thomas Powell; school teacher in No. 9 school section, is married, we believe is not tt'ue. For the sake of modesty we will not men- tion any young lady's name in the affair, but you may bet a sterling dol- lar some young lady may yet be his blooming bride.

Mc - Call's farm on con. 7, Morris, which is quite true excepting some minor par- ticulars. The well rs seventy-two feet deep and there is fifty-five feet of water which cannot be lowered even when eight -hundred gallons per hour is being taken from it. This is the test the driller, Mr, Peterson, makes on all wells bored by him, guaranteeing this quantity for six hours' continuous pumping before asking the farmer or owner to pay him for boring and pip- ing the seine. Mr. Petersen is at B. H. Taylor's and will move to ex -Warden Taylor's from there. These wells are all the go now as they are reliable in dry seasons, as for example this year.

A most enjoyable evening was spent at St. George's Sunday school onTues- day evening last and Rev. Mark Turn- bull fully appreciated the very large turn out of old and young, and one thing the rector was obliged to note, and whbh may he a bit ot a problem, namely, the enlarging the hall, and as enlarging either way will encroach upon the rectory ground, it will he a necessary, but vexed question The program was rather long to do justice to each individual, but every ohe did his or her best. The instrumental duo, flute and clarionet of Messrs. Harold and Charlie Blackstone, accompanied at the piano by Mrs. Blackstone, was truly delightful and those young artists will in future add much to the enjoy- ment of our pleasure loving public and Master Fred. Egener's violin solos, ac- companied at the piano by his teacher, Miss Hattie Donogh, enraptured the audience.

The chairman's address (Rev. Mark Turnbull) put all in a happy vein.
