--THE school house Of the Sisters
of Mercy is badly in need of repairs,
the main stills of the building having
rotted almost entirely away, and dur
ing the late exhibition the floor sank
several inches, from the weight Of
those present to witness the distri-
button Of gifts to the scholars. The
members of the congregation of st.
Francis Xavier's Catholic Church
have been called on to devise some
way to raise the money to have the
necessary work done as quickly as
possible. We would suggest that in
the event Of failure to raise a suf.
icient sum by private subscription
the friends of the Convent give a
public entertainments.

The young men of the ''Bully
Hooks" are ftting up their new
Truck House out of the funds ID The
Company treasury, which will be ex-

friends to.1lend them q helping hand

In addition to the fitting up of their
new house these gentlemen are in

money az they need for the compile

of tile buckets.
