Mr Simon Boston of Half Moon told as Monday that Lynch's river is getting in good fishing order. Ever since we heard this we have had a mighty "onrestless" feeling. Say, did you ever try it? Sit on a high bank where the river is swift; put a live horse-fly on i a small larfgline and put him j on so that you won't kill him; gently thump the fly so that he drops into the pocket between the overhanging bushes; then slyly watch as he buzzes and circles fur an instant on the water, and then, swish! is gone under like a streak of lightning. Did you ever see it? Did you ever feel it? Then you have felt just as Grover Cleveland, the i greatest living American, has felt. W. L. 13. Mortuary.

The school offered four medals this year,one for scholarship, open to the whole school, won by Miss Elizabeth Spigner, and presented by Rev L E Peel erwith an appropriate little talk.
