On Thursday evening host, jv rei^ular old time ijiicntri was got \\\) by the "boys" on the returu of Mr. Timothy Chambers and his bride â€" tlie weddini; having been celebrated at Chatsworth on the previous Monday. Cow bells, gongs, saws and tin pan.s were brouiiht into reipiisition to an extent which could not fail to rouse a re- sponsive echo of joy in the lireast of the "youthful" brideiirocun, who is upwards of 75 years of age. â€""«•'; h Sainul Times Bio UiiREDEiu,. â€" An exchanije says, a man by the name of Maxwell, Heathcote, kas a Toujiiuse goose which this year ii.u) laid 2t) ei,".;» from which 41 gosliuys have be.'U hatched.

On Sixth street, the horse went through a \\\T'iO hole in a culvert, and fallnig over broke the shafts. Mr. Telfer wjia very (|uick in jumpiuK out and .securing the animal, or the consequences miuht have l>een serious to the occupants of the li;,'. The horee wiui slightly injured.

Pitchforks. 8hot'.^uns, carving knives, bootjack and black bottles were in active demand for a while, and fully armed and equipped thcs boys started out doterniined to kill the bear or capture the tree alive. Several halt* were called on the way to the bush and the charge of the bottles closely examined and every- thing fimnd satisfactory. Hy the time they reached the bear it had transformed itself into a revolving tree, and .is revolv- ing trees are becoming rather scarce in this part of the country they concluded to let the bear alone. The tree must have been surrepticionsly removed, as it could not be found a short time after on search being made for it by a party of curiosity seekers. â€" Chatmi-mth Ntirt. On .Saturday nuu'ning last, about 2 o'- clock, burglars entered the residence of Mr. E. Stoiiehouse, Barrister, of this town, gaining an entrance through the dniing-room window. After searching (h)wn .stairs and not tinding .inything val- uable lu-oceeded upstairs and going ir.to his daughter's bedroom obtained Mrs. Stonehouso's gold chain and a locket. It soems Miss Stonehouse .twokc and anw a figure in the room, and as Mr. and Mrs. Stimeliouso had been awny and returned, oxclaiiMod, "is that you, Mil,' when the man decamped, nearly tumblinc while in the act of goins «liowii the staira. They also visited a Mr. W. Hills, m.ason on Main .street. They opened the side win- dow where on the f«blo was a tnnnlier of llower ]iots and other articles, wbicli they lifted outjddt, seeniinjjly placini; them very o,\refully on the ground for .safety. In .-vt- teniiiLing to tr,.i, through the window di.s- turbed a dog inside, which on hearing the noise barked ferociously causing the burg- lars to nuike a hasty retreat and awaken- ing the inmates, thus preventing the ma- rauders from getting anytlung. â€" Bramp- ton Times. « » n il » Our Briti-sh Culiimbia Letter. To the Editor of The Adnnwe. I have just returned from a week's visit to Chilliwhack. You will want to know where on earth that is. Well it is about 45 miles up the Eraser, east from New Westminster. It is a valley of level land extending about 30 miles by 10 to 15 in width, and to all appearance hemmed in by mountains of all conceivable shapes and forms. The land is exceedingly fer- tile, being mostly made up of a sandy sediment, left after high tloods. During the hit;h water of '82 some settlors had to be taken out, or, shall I say, rescued from the windows of their hou.ses in canoes by Indians. Yet here they are again reaping abundant harvests. This being the time of the Pro. Show, and held ,it this place, we â€" I mean my larger half- took boat at Port Haney and after live hours steam-bii;itingâ€" picking up every passen:,'er wherevur he showed himself on the river's bankâ€" we got to the much praised Chilliwhack. In pas.'*- ing through the vdlaiie of Centrevdie, some o!ie shouted, " Webster ! " Turii- niv' aroundâ€" " Were you ever in Mark, daleâ€" ah '. why, yes, I was sure it was you ; my name is Bruceâ€" shake, old fel- low '. " Next we called on .lohn Mfcrcor, who was hammering away as busy as ever Vulcan was. We were a tritle odd on foot, as everybody was either in carriage, buggy or waiigoi.. A turn in the road brought us face to fjvce, .ind laughing all over at that. Who f Why, Wm. Hall, a former resident of the Valley near Mea- ford Road, and whom we knew when a child and have not seen for ten years. '• Well, well," says Willie, " I knew it was you the minute I saw you." We stayed with him all night. Ue haa 18 cows and a lot of young stock. He showed us a patch from which he dug a ton of potatoes and now has a tine appoar- .mce for a crop of turnips. Don't think it was over 8 .square rods. Next ill order wo visit our old friend. Slu'ltoii Kni;.dit. He has a tine place and some tiiiu Well-bred Cfiw*. Hu takes the prize for lUie, also first for butter, Berk- shire pi),', carrots and some other articL's. .\inither ni«ht spent here. Next morn- ing, in compiiny with Mrs. Knii-ht and Eliby Knight, wo arc driven some three miles to Kanny's pl.ice, where we meet another friendly greeting; and after a pleiisant day spent lure, her hnsltand will not hear to us walkiiig back, and takes his waggon and drives us to .Shelton's, where w<; stay till the fidlowiiig niorning anil ride to steamboat landing. I forgot to sny Wm. Hall takes tii-st ]irizu for a herd of young stock, and that his sister .)ano is now en route for the East again. Chilliwhack is the garden of the Prov- ince. It is well adapted for stock-raising. Root crops grow to an immonsc size. 3 tons of hay jior acre. Land is held fnmi .*.">0 to 8100 per ,icre. Some ranchers have as high as 50 head of cattle. Sheep - I have not seen a good one in the Pro- vince. Steam thresliei-s and machinery of all kinds are in ciinmon use lieie. After .") hours tedious waiting for the boat, upon which we had return tickets. the rain â€" well, yes, it can rain here about ,is good as it does at the equator, Boine- tiines pouring down the while. At last she came, having bom delayed at Hope for cattle. Laughing now took the place of some coarser oxpi'>-'*sion8, as some un- lucky passengers sat down with a jerk in the soft mud in trying to descend the bank towards the gangway of tho boa!.. The jiarties nientioiicd above arc known t(j many of your readers. Yours truly, .1. M. Wkiistku. The only Evideiiee »f IiiHniiity. The following e.xinrience of a Missis- sippi lawyer was relaled by himself to the writer many years ago. Ho said : "I was defeinling ii prisoner fm- horse- stealing, and seeing '"' other means of de- fending him. undei llie circumstances, 1 .set up the plea of in.iiuiity. I .irgued it at length, read many i^xiracts from works on medical jiiris|irudeuce, and had tho patient attention of I'lc court. Tho ju'os- ecuting atlornoy did not attempt to reply to niyaigument or .unlrovert my author- ties ; I .sec>med to have things my own way, and whispereil to tlio prisoner that he needn't be U'le.isy Then raino tho judge's chiirgo. in viiich he reminded the jury that ther' wns no dis|'Hto between council as to the fiuls of the case. Indeed there could not liaM- bi'en, ii,r several wit- nesses swore positively that -.hey saw my client steal the horse. 'But,' concluded the court, 'the plea of insanity has been set up, and I charge you, gentlemen of the jurj', that it should receive your very grave and serious deliberation ; but I must be allowed to say, gentlemen, that for my.self, upon a review of the whole case, I can discover no evidence of insanity on the part of the prisoner, except, perhaps, in the selection of his council.' " Criticism. â€" A lady iu Brockville utates â€" I was induced to try Na«al Balm for a long standing cold in my bead that was pronounced Catarrh. Tbe Balm gave immediate relief and permanently cured me. It was so pleasant and agreeable to use that I at first thought it '-no good." I now use it with my children for colds aud stoppage of tbe nasal passages. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
