Nor’-w t conditions on Sunday were fo’.uwed by a marked change in the evening when the wind veered to the south, and rain fell. The weather was dull and threatening early yesterday, steady rain falling later in the day, when conditions were very cold. RIFLE SHOOTING.

You all have seen, I have no doubt, How many people go about With puffed up eyes and noses red, A heavy feeling in the head. Tis wondrous strange to me that these Should not endeavour to appease These ills, which they so oft endure, By using “Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure.”
