The Ancient Order of Foresters has forwarded to the National Lifeboat Institution £255, to be appropriated in the purchase of a lifeboat to be called The Forester. It is proposed to station the boat at New Quay, on the Cardiganshire coast. We understand that the Committee on the House of Commons, on the representation of the deputation from Oban, have struck out of the Harbour Bill the powers sought by the Breadalbane Trustees to levy a heavy passenger tax for the use of the pier. On Sunday afternoon the body of Alexander Bell, farm-labourer, was found in Harlaw Pond, within the grounds of the estate of Penicuik, about five yards from the bank, where the water is only five feet deep. Bell left home on Friday morning with the intention of angling at Harlaw. The Rev. P. Penson, vicar of Clanfield, Oxfordshire, was fencing with his son, a naval cadet, a few days ago.

The annual show of stock and dairy produce in connection with the Dunipace Farmers' Association was held on Monday, in a field adjoining the Anchor Inn, Dunipace. The quality of the various kinds of stock was about an average, and in some of the classes the competition was very close. The dairy produce was of first-rate quality, and the judges experienced much difficulty in awarding the premiums. At Dumfries, on Monday, Bryce Graham, a cattledealer, was tried for fraud before Sheriff Trotter and a jury. It would appear that the prisoner, on two separate occasions, bought a number of sheep, and gave cheques in payment of same, when he knew at the same time that he had no money in bank. The jury by a majority of one found the prisoner guilty as libelled, awl lie Ivo genteuced to %wall months' imprtiourgent.
