did not come of. RAincand warm weather
prevented, the ice becoming too slushy.-
The managers postponed the races to
Friday, the 10th. 1t is our opinion that

not come round in racing times......A fell.

evidence" and report the full career of
the murderer for the last year or two: he
was on the watch when the killing was
done, but processes to have declined as
ssisting in extreme measures if such would
become necessary. Our confidence in the
statements of such wretch, are not very
large. Willing to share the plumber, but
too cowardly to do the deed, was this
witness!
How glad. we are to see J.J. Roberts out

''God takes the best first" and from this

......The Concert and Reading Of Miss
Ellen Murdoch, Miss Marion Murdoch,
and Miss Emma Grannis, came off on
Monday evening at the Cambrian. The
entertainment was most agreeable one.
The audience was much too light for the
artistic merit exhibited. The singing and
orSan-ing of Miss Emma were most
\ charming. The readings of Ellen and
Marion were well rendered; the latter we
regard as the best oratress we ever heard.

Registry Notice and attend to its words.
