SIQUIIL TO Till ELOPICIIiLVT. —The young couple who
ran away, as mentioned in • previous number, hove
returned duly married, the wrath of the parente appears

Bossier or Punt —On Monday night a number of
spoons, kc., comprising two tablespoons, six dessert
spoons, two mustard ditto, four forks, and a pair of sugar
tongs, were taken from No. 2, Wilton Terrace, St. John s.
The window of a front room was left unfastened, and the
sash wee thus easily pushed up, but a lady lodger heard •
noise about one o'clock, and she pushed up the sash of
her room window. This, it is suppoeed, alarmed the
thief or thieves, who left • quantity of goods (similar to
those stolen) without examining them. Mrs Britt, the
tenant, did not go to bed till eleven o'clock, and the goods
were not missed until noon, when a message was sent to
the polies The articles are electro-plated, and the thief
did not therefore take much by the exploit. Communica-
tions were sent out in different directions after various
suspicious persons, and attention was also given to a
person nearer home. _

Clucerr.—Weyntouth Athletic v. Roym! Artillery.—The
return match between teams of the above was played on
Wednesday bat, on the Weymouth ground. The Athletes
won the tom, and took the wickets first, sending 0.
Dominy and Case; but the latter was soon disposed of.
There was a terrible mt in of bad luck for the Athletes,
for the fierce bowling If Faille and Jones disposed of five
in succeedon for ducks eggs. Cox was the first to make a
stand, and considering that this was his first match
for this season, his play was promising •. but his more
was only three. Other sinall scores followed, and Mr.
0. Dominy, who was the only one to get into
double figures, was caught, after putting together 111, and
the innings terminated for 41. The artillery then took the
willow. and Lawson proved himself a good batsman, mak-
ing Sf runs, Sweeney also played prettily for 10. The
remainder did not pass units, but with 20 extras, the score
was flfi. In the second innings of the Atheletics .1. Clark
made 19; but the total score was exactly as in the drat
Innings, 41. The Artillery followed. with 15, which they
did with the low of only two wickets, so the match termi-
nated in favour of our military Mends

return as a Christlan, and so he has studied to be able to

him carry on his education. His explanations of Arab
peculiarities are given with pleasant humour, and the

looks well in his Arab costume, and he speaks English

trations threw great light on Scripture expressions, and
that in a most tangible and agreeable way. for here were
the very things brought before us. The lamp used in the
