A v six o'clock a heavy downpour of g hall fell which fortunately was but 3 of short duration, and .later when i the sky cleared it was bitterly cold, J a slight frost being experienced. ( Ten points, of rain were registered, j The efficacy of advertising has j been amply demonstrated on" a i couple of occasions recently, for « advertisements brought into the ; "Leader" office liaye'resulted in lost articles being found without J the necessity of the advertisements . appearing in the paper. Yesterday, , a five pound note was lost, and on ; the lost advertisement being set up in metal, the owner came into the office to report he had found it. Ahem!

The night was cold-with a slight frost towards morning, /which broke clear and -sunny.

He had proceeded ,to explain the mishap wlrioh had nap-. • pened to him, but' met with little t sympathy ,;"Nt|ver mind! that," < the official .had said, "you'll) he 4ry S enough i when. ye*, get into the piil- " pit:" ' Mr L.
