GRAND TRUNK RECEIPTS: The
total receipts for the week ended May
LIST were SlS1, 1873, as against $685. ia
1879. Increase in 1880 $25,379. The
Riviere du Loup receipts are included
in 1879, not in 1880; adding them, the
weeks increase is $29,47 The ag-
gregate increase for eighteen weeks is
$52O,121.
A counterfeit five-dollar greenback
of the series of 1875, letter G, has been
detected in circulation. The engrav-
ing is well executed, and the bill is
very we'll calculated to deceive bust
ness men unless the closest scrutiny is
exercised. The fibre marks are print
ed on the back of the bill, and the
numbering is poor and blurred.
A rather hasty wedding took place
at the Stewart House on Wednesday
night of last week. Two young people
arrived from Canada on the $50 P. NJ.
train, desiring to be made one, and
also wishing to return on the 1915
train. After the bridegroom had
secured the necessary certificate, IS
minutes was all the time left before
the train started. Rev. Mr.. Arthur
was called upon to perform the cere-
mony, Mr.. Lawrie giving the bride
away, and Mr.. IL. K. Fitzgerald serving
as best man. The service being COM
pleted the happy couple departed for
home, where we hope prosperity and
success may attend them.

A terrific wind storm struck this
place last Monday evening about $50,
doing considerable damage. The
large covered bridge, built over the G
Il. Il. R., better known as the "new
walk" was blown across the track, and
is now complete wreck. Several OF
our people were on the bridge but a
few seconds before its fall, and the
escape, to them, was marvellous one
The steamboat house suffered consid.
erably, and the "Magic" was also
damaged. Trees were Uprooted, anG
the prepared lumber in Fitzgerald
yard was flying in all directions. The
storm, for severity is unequalled ir
the memory of the oldest inhabitant
lasting some fifteen minutes, and it il
cause of great congratula ton thai
no one was injured. The employees
of the Railway company with tina
energy SO characteristic of them
as soon as the fury Of the storm hat
been spent, went to work clearing VI
the debris of the bridge, and as {
consequence no trains were delayed
