A AsINGULAR phenomenon is described in
Scotch journal. A particular species of
willow tree was in flower, and attached
to these blossoms, which resembled an
old-fashioned bottle brush, were large
number of the ''big black humble bees"
with which every school-boy is familiar.
They remained a whole day slipping the
extract of juice, and then dropped help
lessly to the ground, hardly able to move,
and next morning were almost dead from
exposure. One was observed to climb a
vertical board of few inches and when
near the top throw out his legs and fall
backward after the manner of an ordinary
inebriate.
MOUNT SIR DONALD, in the Canadian
Rockies, has at last been ascended. The
successful climbers were Messrs. Huber
| and Sulzer, both Swiss, and members Of
| an Alpine Club. They accomplished
their climb in seven hours from their
camp, half way up the mountain-side.
Both state that the governments csti-
mate OF this peaks height is too small by
sixty feet. A full report, together with
photographs, will be made for Surveyor
General Deville They report the ascent
to the top of Sir Donald as more difficult
than any they have ever made at home,
not excepting the JLngfrau.

Side Walks.

Observer says,
That Brookhaven is a pleasant and bcau-
tiful town, but
That there is much room FOR improve
ment.
For instance,
The side walks are in drplorable condI-
ton in fact, the best sidewalks in town
are mostly in the middle of the streets.
1t Is fact to occasion joy
That it would not take very much
money to have these side walks fixed up.
Observer observes that the condition Of
sidewalks has great deal to do with the
pleasure or misery of walking about town
in the day time or night time. They also
have much to do with impressions, good
or bad, that Il town makes upon strang-
ers-especially strangers who think OF
moving to said town.
The aforementioned Observer argues
from the above, that good side walks
would be Il great Improvement to the
pleasant and beautiful town of Brook
haven.

Hamilton Smith and Others Discharged.
The case of the State vs.. Hamilton
Smith and others, charged with shooting
Joseph Wolfe, reported by the LEADER
last week, was tried by Judge Mcmillan
on Thursday and Friday, and resulted in
the discharge of the defendants.
There was some circumstantial evidence
pointing to the participation of the de-
PENDANTS III the shooting, bnt 1t was re-
PEELED by proof on the part of the defence,
showing that they were at another place
at the time the crime was committed.
Wolfe could not certainly identify the
persons who fired on him, though he ex-
pressed his firm belief as to who he was.
The matter is thus left for the present
in the dark. 1t is to be hoped that the
party who committed this dastardly crime
will yet be brought to Justice. The de-
PENDANTS in this case have always borne
a good reputation and we are pleased that
they have been able to exonerate them
selves from the diabolical crimo with
which they were charged.
