g for "The Church," said, in the course of his

refer, now that be was speaking. He that they
were in a great maven indebted to his Excellency the
Lieureant-Governor, who was working day and night for
the interest of the island, for the pack of bounds which was
exhibited at the show that day. In old times the clergy
had to keep a pack of hounds for the pariah. (Laughter.)
He did not know whether he would be asked to join the
hunt, but be believed they had asked the archdeacon to do
so, if he would preach • sermon for them. (Loud laughter.)
He (the bishop) would have no objection to the archdeacon
drag so, provided he preached the termer' in pink, with top
boots on." (Renewed laughter.)

• large green paper ticket, when between Liverpool and
Manchester there was a long stay at Newton, in order
that pareopis might refresh themselves with Eccles
cakes. (Laughter.) A "guide " so the live to London
wet 55., and there was • cheap edition at 2s. fiat. The
former told the number of bricks in the Kilsby and Wat-
ford tunnels, and how they were forced on the oompany by
the landowners of the neighbourhood. Now landowners
knew their interests to be identical with the railway crape-
Dies. He had beard that the London and North Western
Oompaty carried into London daily Iwo tons of watercresses
and a ton of mushrooms. (laughter.)
A BRAYS WOKAN.—Some few days ago some
very young children were playing in • boat in Teigninouth
Harbour. A little boy, between two and three years of age, '
overbalanced himself, rid fell into • depth of five or six
feet of water. The accident being observed by two women,
they both instinctively rushed into the river to his rescue.
One of them, however, finding herself getting beyond her i
depth, retired, but the other woman, named Sally Shigginm
wife of one of the lifeboat's mew, posited forward and
swam a few feet to the child's races. She caught him
some depth below the surface, and as he was =akin, sad
afterwards lately brought him ashore. The child was
found to be nearly insensible, and must have perished in
the sheenier of Mrs. Shigeo.' courageous conduct. Her
husband has been for some years pant one of the lifeboat's
crow, sad has often assisted in saving life from shipwreck.

One of the eights of Southampton is now the
splendid salmon that are to be seen daily on our fishmongers'
stalk One day this week there was one weighing 401 b.
This is the largest that has been seen in Southampton.
In London there an at times 501 b. and even Gott.. salmon
to be seen. Woodmill salmon are rarely caught over 30th.
The largest salmon omse generally from Holland. We are
indebted to our railways and the practice of peeking fish is
ice for the plentiful supply of salmon we now receive. The
rivers of Holland, northern Europe, and Scotland furnish
the south of En land with the king of fishes. Notwith-
standing thig 'apply, it is not sufficiently large, we are sorry
to say, for the poorer dares to see it on their tables.—
