The numerous and urgont appeals of the sick poor for ad-

to treat as out-patients many distres4ing cases which, with
more adequate funds, they would gladly admit into the wards.
The premises of the Hospital are capable of containing 500

In the shots which were separately fired with a view to
determine the accuracy of the different weapons the follow-
ing were the scores respectively :—Whitworth, 29, Turner,
26, Boucher, 4.

At the range immediately adjoining the trial of small bores
proceeded simultaneously. That known as Green's was the
first taken up. Of its 100 rounds, which were completed in
21 minutes, the following produce was recorded :—Bull's-
eyes, 4 ; centres, 14; enters, 20 ; ricochets, 6 ; misses, 50 ;
total marks, 110. The number of nfssfires being considered
an important element in the performance of breech loaders,
note was taken of the fact that there were three such with
this weapon in the firing of the 100 rounds. Henry's rifle,
allotted number
iontgcartridge oscf shots in their own ignitions, discharged its
in 17 min. 12 sec., and made, Bull's
eyes, 24; centres, 41; outers, 20; ricochets, 3; misses, 12—
total marks, 259. Three missfires also occurred with this
weapon, but they were all connected with the same charge,
which was then drawn and replaced by another, when no
further difficulty occurred. Bearing in mind that the Cooper
rifle, unlike its predecessors, had to be capped before every
discharge, its 100 rounds were got through with wonderful
rapidity. They were all fired lin 15 minutes, but the pace
told on the steadiness of aim, for the score made when the
rounds were exhausted was the following : —Bull's eyes, 4;
centres, 9; outers, 13; ricochets, 19; misses, 55—total
marks, 69. A fourth competitor entered and began his 100
shots, but found there was somethingdefective in the spring
of the hammer, which it was necessary to remedy before
proceeding further. Other gunmakers were on the ground,
but the state of the weather deterred them from commenc-
ing till this morning, when the competition will be resumed
at 9 o'clock.
Lord Elcho and General Hay attended to watch the pro-
ceedings on the part of the Council.
A meeting took place last week in one of the large tents
of the Volunteers of all Yorkshire, now
present at the great
national rifle contest. The object of the gathering was for
the purpose of organising committees for selecting " teams"
to represent that important county, boasting of some of the
crack shots of the kingdom, both in. the
small bore and the
Enfield national rifle contests at Wimbledon. Lord Bolton

He is the new tenant of a farm,
the commendable habit cf promptitude for fpo
had not attended the Established Church, and consequently
did not require the pew, which had, however, continued to
be occupied by the tenant who was his predecessor in the
farm. This latter,who had quitted the farm 19 years ago,
had shown no disposition to give up hts occupancy at the
call c f the new tenant, who, having duly certified himself
as to the pew that belonged to him as tenant, had gone
early to church, in the spirit of the maxim that it posses-
sion is nine points in law." The old tenant, however, came
into church when matters were going on as described, and
ordered him to clear out. This he refused to do, where-
upon the old occupant seized him by the throat, and pro-
ceeded to drag him out by sheer force. In the scuffle that
ensued, the new tenant's collar and shirt front were torn
and damaged, and are now in the hands of the fiscal of a
neighbouring county town, forming a sort of corpus delicti
in whatever civil or criminal proceedings may be deemed
necessary as a fitting wind-up to this rather unseemly
ecclesiastical encounter,—.aerdeen free .Press.
