WAVERLEY.

[FROM OUR CORP.ESI’O,\'D en t.] The Weather has been very squally. On Sunday night a heavy storm burst over this place, accompanied by thunder and vivid lightning. Rain fell in torrents. Town 'Hal'd (Limited.) —This company met on Friday evening, to receive the annual balance-sheet, and to elect members of committee for the ensuing year. Some disappointment was expressed as no dividend was shown ; but a dividend is a rare occurrence in such investments. The directors wore re-elected, and Messrs W. W. Mitchell and 1). Scott appointed auditors. The Post Office has been considerably enlarged, affording better accommodation for Mr Stanton and his family. The complaint of the awkward situation of the present building will be felt to have much more force, when it is found that the railway station is on one side of the township and the Post Office on the other. Town Board Erection. —This election is likely to be null and void, owing to the mistake of the returning officer. As the whole matter will now he investigated, remarks at the present stag 0 , appear unnecessary. It is a pity, however, that so much trouble and annoyance to all parties should bo so often caused by mistakes in what should be the simplest form of official routine.
