Almond tiees are ! already in bloom, and buds on apricots j and peaches aie swelling p'eparatory to '■ bursting into bloom. | Dr Gatling, of Gatlitig gun fame, has > invented a motor plough, winch he claims | will enable one man to plough thirty a.e es ! daily.

I Some tune ago we mentioned that a i movement was on lout in Clyde to form a ! rille club, and that it was probable thai a meeting would be held to consider the advisability of doing so. Although the notion hung lire for so long it is pleasing to know that it is nioie than probable thai the club will be shoitly formed. Aheaily, we believe, a number of gentlemen have handed in their names as willing to join.

Although ihc social had been postponed owing to the ravages of influenza it was but poorly attended. The management had gone to no end of trouble to make the affair a success, and it must have been very disheartening to them to meet with such poor support from the public. In addition to songs, tableaux, etc., an excellent dialogue was given, which in itself was well worth the price of admission. The parts were taken by Misses Pratt and [Slovens and .Y,essrs Von liaast ana Elee. Mr T.

In spite of the active opposition of the tain hands they co ■ polled the train to stop, and cut loose two emigrant cars containing men bound for farther Western points. ■'. . ■.. ;he aid of clubs, shotguns, and si.u a • ■< eible arguments, which resu ted n s. ions injury to several on both sides, ie tuiists finally succeeded in securing a d narcl ing off to their farms 200 harvesters to work at a w.ige of 3dol oUc a d -y."
