pistol exercise. a ball struck the brick
jamb of the Brick Saloon on Lacour
street, few inches one way would have
made its course through the glass door,
and an accidental shooting would have
been the result. Is it not better to have
this practice discontinued for the good
of the community as few men are able at
present, owing to the depressed state of
stocks, to bear their own funeral ex-
penses. The owner of the pistol ball
can have it by calling at the Brick
saloon. e..
A FRIGHTENED CITIZEN.
HIGH WIND.--Old Boreas was out on
Sunday and Monday last, the dust
sweeping through the air in clouds, tin
caus rafting down the streets and rocks
flying in every direction. The air was
filed with flying hats, tin-roofs, boxes
and miscellaneous assortment of arti-
clss. During the height of the gale the
skylight over the kitchen of the Bank
Exchange Restaurant was smashed to
flinders, and it is stated that team of
fourteen mules and three wagons loaded
with charcoal were carried up in the
blue ether above US and that the driver
was hunting for them in Rose Valley.
Suffice it to say that Sunday and Mon
day were so intensely windy and dis
agreeable that no one was out in the
streets who could possibly stay at home,
with even the slightest excuse for doing
so.
