with the old tuners, last Saturday. The

litically, in the place where he now
lives.
Parties who have been letting their
stock run loose around town, have been
much surprised the past few days.
Their stock could not be found as usual
and search revealed the fact that the
city pound held the animals. The
usual fee procured release. The future
will doubtless see less stock at ltrge in
town.

The graduation exercises OF the com
mon school, which took place last NIGH
at the Methodist church, attracted ,
crowded house. The programme as Civ
en- in the papers last week, was carried
out to the letter, every number was Civ
en-. The audience was entertained and
was very appreciative. The various es
says and orations were delivered in nice
style, and were full OF good thoughts
we'll expressed. They also had the
merit Of being condensed, and none
we're wearled.. The singing OF the quar-
tette from Granada was especially en-.
joyed. The quintette club rendered
their selections in manner which
showed what beautiful masic could be
given by brass instruments. Altogether
the exercises were n success.
