Inthe land de partment the progress of collecting arrears has not been so satisfactory as could have been wished, but the general prospect is stated to be encouraging. The result of the year’s business, announced in the June report, caused some disappointment, and shares have fallen off two at a half per cent. since Wednesday. —~.>-——. Correct.—Time is now sorely exercising the minds of St. John’s citizens. The Tele- graph asks: ‘‘What time is it?” and answers: ‘That depends. If you take the time ball you will get one hour. If you ask a New Brunswick Railway man you will get another; if you seek for the information in the Western Union office you will be told something diff- erent from either; and if it isan 1. ©, K. man to whom who are talking he will give you yet another hour.” Now, this is embarrasing, and the Telegraph predicts there will be weeping and wailingand guashing of teeth over this arrangement, Somebody who regulates him- self by Western Union time will start out to call upon his best girl at ap appointed hour, and will find that she, having regulated her actions by N. B. R. time, has not got the other fellow out of the house, and music not on the programme will ensue. _ ~> - Souris Branxcu of the Temperance Alliance held their usval fortaightly meeting last Wednesday evening.
