Movements of Vessels in Kingston Harbor. "Have you ever paid particular {tention to the manser in which dif | fere: 'nt steamers are landed av' | wharves an old -mariner asked a | Whig representative, as a certain pas senger hoat approached. "}M you have bit just pay attention to this one. Just watch how quietly that captain! brings his boat in. You can't hear a Sword, 'can you. Pll wager that this boat will touch the wharf before vou hear a word from any of the crew or officers." > The mariner spoke truly. The steam- ér came in so quietly that if one bad not been watching he would not have | known that a vessel was landing. lelse else aboard. The boat touched | i tossed out while silence reigned. "Some captains have a. habit making a great fuss when they are landing," said the old mariner. "They abit, too, 1 and watch tbat land. It does me good." : \ Movements of Vessels. The steamer Alexandria was at ger's wharf, Friday night, from treal, and discharged freight. The steamer' Beaverton arrived port, Saturday morning, from Mon treal, on her way west.

During a dense fog on Lake Huron, Wednesday, the ninety-four-ton schooner, Emma L. Nilson, was sunk in a collision with the steamer Wyan- dotte, about twelve miles from Point Aux Barques. All thé members of the schooner"s crew were rescued by the Wyandotte.

Corner Stone of New Building to be Laid on Thursday. ' The lawn social and concert, Friday evening, on the grounds surrounding the residence of Henry Johnston, Sand Hill, in aid of the building funa of Sand Hill Presbyterian church, was very successfully carried out and as a result $140 was realized. The affair was arranged by the Ladies' Aid of the Sand Hill church, to assist in partly paying for the church which is to occupy the site on which the old one stood. The grounds were well lighted with lanterns, and was packed with a crowd which bought liberally of all things offered for sale, Supper was furnished by the ladies of the congregation. About eleven o'clock, Rev. W. H. Reede, pastor of the church, ascended the platiorm and introduced the choir of Princess Street Methodist church, | which furnished all the music. The programme was short and consisted of choruses, mixed quartettes, male quar- tettes and solos which received nearty ! applause. It will be remembered that only "a short time ago the Sand Hill Presby- terian church was burned and the | corner stone of the néw building - will | be laid next Thursday afternoon. It will be a big event in that vicinity. I'he Princess street choir had some difficulty in getting back to the city | on account of numerous accidents. Figst one of the horses got sick and! by the time the crowd was ready to come back caused considerable | delay while the horse was doctored wp | a bit. This coupled with ah acident | made it impossible = for the choir | to reach the city until 5:30 o'clock, | Saturday morning. 2 ! AWARDED TExDERS For Supplies Needed by Fire Depart. ment.

He continued at this work till 1867, when he visited New York and Boston and went as far south as Richmond, Va. On his ve- turn he went back to the business till he was asked to. take the foremanship of the Daily News. After a short time at the request of Mr. Pense, he as sumed the foremanship of the Whig, which for nearly eightéen years he oc- cupied. Mr. Reid took part in all the progressive changes in the Whig, and has seen the paper changed from a humble four-page sheet to the proud B.

Real Estate Activity in Western Town Very Marked, Winnipeg Telegram, June 16th, 1611 During the past week a considerable degree of activity has prevailed in the real estate market. This'is particular ly true in the case of the new western towns, many of which are making sub- stantial gains in population, thus causing a corresponding increase in value of the lots located in the orjg inal townsites of these At the rate at which all of Western Canac is growing, the large number of im towns, and the natural back this a difficult matter to the tilling of the soil, resources which are growth, it would be for the business man or buy close in original townsite lots in any of the growing" towns and not make a substantial profit vestment. Much interest is being manifested in the wonderful showing made by No komis during the past few months and the present activity in Nokomis real estate. Residents of Nokomis are very optimistic as to 'the Canadian Paeifia establishing Nokomis as a divisional point. There seems to little, if any, doubt that the Canadian North- ern also will make Nokomis a divi sional point, It is known thai if the Canadian ¥ acifiec establishes Nokomis ak a divisional point it" will require considerable additional property ie ent to its present yards in order to provide for more extensive railway yards, and it is partially due to thix fact that lots near the Canadian Pa cific railWdy station are being held at high prices. okomis y is only one of many new Western Canada towns that bid fair to rival the growth of the now important western cities. But. there is one thing ' which impresses the visitor to Noko- | mis, and that is the spirit of its resi- deiits. and their faith in its ature im- portance as a railway centre. ol investor on his in be Ho!
