NOTES FROM THE OXIENT.

On Tuesday evenirg last,at South Lake, Mr. Columbus McDunald, of Lakeville, delivered hi+ highly instructive aud in- teresting lec ure on ‘‘ St, Colnmba,” the great aposile of ‘the Scots. Tue learned lecturer treated the subject io a manner which betrayed the fact that he had de lved deeply in Scotieh jlore. Tie lecture occupied about an hour in delivery and was,listened to throuzhout vith the greatest attention. At the close comp! - mentary remarks were made by A. E. Baey. -‘Wm. Brownand D s, M:N i! ano

Towaseod. Mr, McDonald will deliver his lecture in the rear future in East Baltic and Glencorrodale. We tespeak

furhim a full house as he generously donates the proceeds io the respective school.

We learn with regret that Mr. Theodor’ S. Stewart is about to move to Sydney, C. B. Mr. Stewarw’s business capseity wil! no doubt have more acope in that rising towo. He will be greatly missed by the farmers in the eastern end of the Islasa owing to the fact that be was largely in the cattle trade with St. Pierre and New- foundland.

Mr. J. E. Warren, of Salmon River, N. S., is about erecting a large and commod-~ ious dwelliog house on the property whi h he recently purchased at Black Porn, Dame Rumour bath it “that“an interesting event wil] take place in that vicinity ere long.

It is pleaging to [see the evidences of loyalty and patriotism of classes and creeds in thie eastern eeciion of the Island

Heretofore strong supporters of the Lib- era] Government are thoroughly disgusted with the dilatory abd half-hearted manoer in which the government entered upon the almost vital’ matter of eending troops to the Mother Country in the hour of need.

Phyall, provrietor Bodega Hotel, 36 Wellington Street East, Toronto, says:— “While living in ChicagolI wasina terrible state with itching and bleeding piles, I tried several of the best physicians and was burnt and torturedin various ways oy their treate mentto fo avail, besides spending a mint of meney to no purpose. Since coming to Toronto I learned of Dr. Chase’s Ointment, I used but One box and have not been troubled with piles in any shape or form since,”

Tardy comers made quick sellers—we have just opened a let of white quilts which should have arrived three weeks age—we have marked them S4c $1.10 and $1 30 each. They are worth twenty tive per cent mere Ask to see them,.—Stanley Bros.

A SCHOOL BOY IN TROUBLE.

Sir,—In last night’s ExawInerR some problems in arithmetic was given by Inepec- tor McCormac, evidently ax help to teach- ers, but problem No. 2] reeme more a puzzel than a belp tome. How Mr. Mc- Cormac can get 300 dollars as the answer t> that questien puzzles me. If he would be so kind as to give the solution to that problem as secon as possible he would confer a great bevefit os one who is tryiog to learn a little about mathematics.
