Spring cannot catch between the Pins and cause the Watch to stop or gain time at an ryy unusual rat, : T & EB KENNY,
The Balance comes under the round, or edge, the strongest part of the case, not as with |
all others, under the center and weakest part.
The Main Spring Power is the lightest used in A merizan Watches.
The calculation o
f the Train is such that this Watch runs 8 to 10 hours longer than
others, with one winding, giving more uniform power and rate, These are improvements that cannot) be claimed by any other manufacturers, and once
seen, al] must agree with us in sa with all the above improvements,
ying that this is the strongest and best Watch made ; and the Columbus Watches cost-no more than others.

Notes from Black River, Lot 35.
The crops this year appear to be far above the average yield of former years.
Miss Toole, of Halifax, is at present visiting her friends in this locality. She is the guest of Mr. Joseph McAulay.
The Tea Party held on the beautiful grounds of John McDonald, Esq., was a grand success. The amount realized, clear of all expenses, is somewhere in the neigh- b@rhood of $1,000. When night began to cast its sable pall over the many smiling faces on the tea grounds, a number of the ladies and gentlemen left the grounds and proceeded to Mr. F. Hughes’, where they amused themselves in
singing, dancing, etc. The happy party dispersed next morning, very mueh pieased with the
night’s enjoyment, and also much obliged to Mr. Hughes for his kindness. Rory. Black River, Aug. 31, 1887.
A Fatal Race. SEVEN HORSES GO DOWN IN A HEAP—TER- RIBLE FINISH OF THE FIRST EVENT.
A Saratoga despatch of the 29th August reports :—West, the champion light-weight jockey, is dead. Penny, one of the smartest jockeys ever seen on a race horse, is lying with his skull fractured and pretty sure to die, and Winchell, one of the most skillful youngsters of his age, when riding a desperate finish, was carried bruised and bleeding from the race track. All this is due to an accident in the first race here to- day, but there was no cessation of sport because of the accident. Young West had been the leading lightweight of Lucky Baldwin's stable. Only last week he won three races in one day.. Only two weeks ago he went down to Monmouth Park with Los Angeles and _ snatched the rich prizes from the best animals onthe Jersey track. He was riding for fame and money, and steadily earning both. To-day, when he came upon the race track, his dusky face all in smiles, he lifted his hat in responce to the salutations of the race-goers,and felt happy to knowthe horse he was riding was a tremendous favor- ite, not because the horse had ever accom- plished much, but because the jockey had earned public support. The applause fol- (lowed him around to the starting post, which | he was deatined never to face again. Young | Penny, whose skull is fractured, was riding
Sadie Me, and the enthusiastic few who al- | ways folloWhis muunts applauded. Win- ‘chell, on the fast-stepping filly Music, went ‘straight to the post from the stables. | There were 10 two-year-old horses at the | post awaiting the signal to go. All the ‘youngsters were fractious. They delayed the start for half an hour. Sadie Mac led when the flag fell. Jack Cocks was second and Musicthird. The horses were all close together, and the jockeys were riding hard. At the first turn Barrett on Fountain went down, the horse rolling over the nder. The others continued on, Cruiser, ridden by Williams, showing in the lead, followed by Silver Thread, Carrie G., and Jack Cocks, |At the head of the stretch, the fly- ing horses were well bunched, Cruiser still leading. Turning into the straight Music stumbled and fell, bringing her jockey, | Winchell, with her. Col. Zeb Ward and Mc were right behind, and, falling over Music, rolled on their backs, crushing jockeys West and Penny. The race was won by Cruiser. The physicians say that Penny’s skull is fractured. He is also in- jured internally about the body, and is also likely to die. Winchell will be around | in a day or two.

The Romance of a Marriage.
A North Sidney despatch to the Halifax Herald says: —*‘A fit and happy ending to a very romantic courtship occurred this afternoon in the marriage of Miss Isabel Ferguson, of England, late nurse in the London hospital, to Duncan McDonald, of Little Bras d@’Or. McDonald, it will be remembered, was one of the Nile voyageurs and one of the bravest, being the only one who remained and nursed the late Colonel Kennedy when down with the most virulent ype of smallpox in London. Taken with he disease himself, Miss Ferguson was the nurse who attended him through his illness. An attachment was there formed and an engagement followed and which was hap- pily not affected by the great distance between them after McDonald’s arrival home. They had intended to be married in Halifax, but Miss Ferguson arrived this morning from London, and the happy couple were quietly united in marriage this afternoon at the manse, Sydney mines. They will reside at Little Bras d’Or. Thus has true affection found a fitting sequel in this somewhat romantic attachment.

A Novel Proposal.
Mr. C. T. Lewis, formerly a station agent on the Intercolonial, and now hold- ing a like position on the C. P. Railway at Indian Head, has published a novel pro- posal, with the view to securing wives from the east for the pining bachelors of the Northwest. He complains that what few young women do go to the territory are either engaged or married before they get there. He proposes that railway tickets from the prairie country to the eastern pro- vinces and return shall be issued to mar- riageable young men of the territories. On the back of each ticket a blank form of marriage certificate shall be printed. On this ticket the bachelor is to come east, and having secured a life partner, the cer- tificate to be filled up, and on his return home any station agent to be authorized, on presentation of the ticket, with the young woman whose name is subscribed, to return the price paid for the ticket. It is a very ingenious scheme, but it will not work. All the girls would be shy of a man who came

At a military council at Vienna afew days ago, attended by Count Kalnoky and other ministers, it was decided that the whole of the Austr»-Hungarian regulars and militia should be supplied, before 1891, with Man- licher repeating rifles. The number re- quired will be 1,200,000, and the cost will be 43,700,000 florins.
In Sweden and Norway no intoxicant can be sold except ata place where good food, coffee, and other non-alcoholic drinks are also kept constantly on hand. The dealer is allowed to make a profit on these, but he is stringently prohibited from sell- ing any liquor except at cost. The idea is that dealers will thus endeavor to promote the sale of edibles and non-intoxicating drinks, upon which he does make a profit, and discourage buyers from drinking liquors upon which he makes none.
Butler with
| The claim that the use of beer will dimin-
ish drunkenness and largely take the place of spirits, is not borne out by parliamentary report in selgium. Next to Bavaria, Belgium has the repu- tation of being the country where most beer is consumed, the amount per year being 240 liters, or over fifty-two gallons per head. It also comes nextto Kussia
and Denmark in the consumption of spirits; the amount consumed of the latter being thirteen liters per head a year.
The Papal envoy, in reply to an address presented to him by the. people of Tipper- ary, said: ** The Pope loves Ireland, knows her sufferings, and teels the deepest sym- pathy with her people. He sent me to tell you of his love and sympathy, and more- over that he intends to do a great and real good for Ireland. When he raises his voice the potent of the earth will listen reverently, because his voice is never raised but in truth and justice. Hewilldo all in his power for the future prosperity of Ire- land.”
The slaughter of the Utes by Colorado volunteers seems to be on a par with most of the Indian wars on that frontier,in which the stronger race bullies the weaker. The quarrel, according to report, was got up by white treachery. White men having bet their horses in a race, refused to give them up when the race was lost and the Indians very boldly took them. For the defence of these racecourse blacklegs and their hired
|horses,a bloodly battle has been fought,and ja sense of wrong left in the hearts of the Indians to rankle for generations.
The Queen is at Balmoral writing a new ‘book, the subject of which, however, is kept secret. But current reports say that it relates to her impressions of the’ great state ceremonials from her coronation down to the celebration of her jubilee. Her Majesty and those of her family with her are living a thoroughly retired life in Scot- land. The Queen takes a drive in the morning before taking up her literary work and Princess Beatrice gives her attention to lawn tennis, sketching in water colors and taking photographs. Prince Henry of Battenberg shoots all day and sulks all the evening. Life in the Highlands is intoler- able to him. The lights in Balmoral are all extinguished by 10.30 in the evening, with the exception of those in Prince Henry’s smoking room, which often burn until far into the morning. Prince Henry has recently had his life insured in London companies for a large sum.
A Parrsboro, N. 8., correspondent of the St. John Sun writes :—‘* This beautiful village by the sea is proving attractive to visitors, more of whom, itis said, have been here this summer than ever before. The shipment of coal increases so that ad- ditional wharf accommodation is being pro- vided. The enterprising superintendent of the Cumberland*Coal and Railway Co., J. Gresham Aikman, has his hands full to provide for the business in its wide extent. \The town is well provided with religious privileges, the Methodist, Presbyterian and Anglican churches having interests of good standing with suitable buildings. The Roman Catholics are constructing a church in the centre of the town. The Baptist church, one of the most influential of the religious societies, is just now happy in the settlement of a young pastor, Rev. I. W. Porter. He was ordained on the 31st ult. A large number of laymen and seven ministers were present. It is said the examination was extended and proved the pastor’s ability and intelligence. The public services were largely attended, The tollowing clerical gentlemen participated in the exercises: Rev. E. O. Read, C, W. Corey, lic.; B. H. Thomas, lic., Rev. D. McKeen, Professor Keirstead, Rev. W. H. Cline, Rev. D. H. Simpson, Rev. Joseph Murray and Rev. J. K. Skinner. It is felt that the Baptists have secured a good minister for themsefves and for the tuwn.
