spring great draughts of the invigo-

suffering people but knew of the
evergreen prairies OF Vermilion,

to an Ell Dorado. @

received, and invitations to call

Our experience of the following
three days and nights was almost
repetition of the first, so it is not
necessary to rehearse it. Suffice it
to say that our trip is ended and we
return. Always on the wing, as we

Last week one John Blteman, a
Province fellow, yielding to an appe'
tite for intoxicating beverages and

For his sportive proclirities a fine Of
$500 and costs was imposed.

We deeply regret to announce the
death of Mrs. J B. Grant, wife of the
Collector of Canadian customs at this
port, which occurred at her home in
Island Pond last Wednesday morning,
after an illness of one week. The
cause Of death was, we believe,
pneumonia. The deceased lady was
Justly esteemed and beloved by all
who knew her, and only regrets will
be spoken of her death and kind
words Of her memory. Her death is
indeed sad blow to the bereaved
husband and three daughters, for they
mourn loving aud affectionate wife

imply. The heartfelt sympathy of
our whole community is with them.

The symptoms of Biliousness are un.
happily but too well known. They
differ in different individuals to some
extent. a Bilious man is seldom a
breakfast eater. Too frequently, alas,
he has all excellent appetite for liquids
but none for solids of morning. His
tongue will hardly bear inspection at
any time; il it is not white and furred
it is rough at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out
of order and Diarrh@2 Or Constipa-
ton may be a symptom or the two
may alternate. There are often Hem.
Orrhoids or even loss of blood. There
may be giddiness and often headache
and acidity or fatulenco and tender.
