The firing point is usually closed} in, and on the inside is a sloping bullet- roof pent house roof, which effectually prevents any accidental shot flying off in- to the street. High walls 'with cross screens at gradually increasing distance-- in which are openings corresponding to the targets, provide for the safety of the neighborhood, while a further precauticn is provided in the shape of sloping screens above the targets themselves. These could be self registering, or a covered way to a marker’s butt might be easily made from the firing po‘nt. An illustration of such a daily range is given in a recent number of the Daily Graphic. In France shooting at: a mark forms one of the 1 lessons taught at the primary schools, and there are in that country 1,800 shooting clubs. with a membership of 14.000 Switzerland has 3,300 rifle clubs. with nearly 20,000 members. out of a popula, tion of nearly 3,000,000. â€"A” couple of Weeks ago while Mrfl George, governor of the jail at Parry Sound, was super-intending the prisoners in the changing of their clothes. Wm. Ryder. detained on charge of insanity, made a sudden attack on him. and sec ceeded in jumping out: of the jail.

His feet were cut and bleeding and he was pretty well exhausted, having ran nearly all the time he was at large. Be is now back in his old quarters and will be more closely watched, pending his committal and re- moval to the asylum. â€"-On Friday lanai: provincial detective Rogers, accompanied by Chief Adams, drove to the Elbe mills, about nine miles from Breckville, and placed under arrest a young man named Phllo Hashim. on a charge of alleged dealing with green- goods men in New York city. Hashim, it seems, saw a very tempting letter in a. New York paper, offering great advan- tages. For a ten dollar bill one hundred dollars of the green-goods money wee promised in return. Heehins sent the $10 by registered letter. This. of course, the New York men dare not sign for, and the letter was returned to the dead-letter office, Ottawa. When the contents of the epistle became known to the authorit- iee there, the matter was placed in the hands of the Attorney General’s depart- ment to investigate. A number of in- criminating letters were found in Baekins’ possession. showing that con- siderable correspondence had passed between him and the green-goods mum, who was constantly dieting better in- ducements with the object of dzawhg him on. None of the green-ectde bed. however. reached Huskies. The prison- er ownsasew miii. and being in hard circumstances. thought this an easy say of becoming rich without working.
