Beneath the rale of men bn'ttbulv just the res is mightier than the SWORD.

In consequence of the length of the report of the Meeting of the Vncent County Council, in which the facts are alone dealt with, we are compelled to hold over a lot of local matter, correspondence from the Lakes. a’so to withhold aome very int. treating debates from the County Council Meeting. We take (he opportunity of correcting a typographies' error which appeared in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities of (ho Clyde Building Society published in onr lest issue, the balance remaining after dp. c' >ring profits, is £3 19s 3d, and not £5 19s 3d. We have been favored with ths following from a correspondent What has bitbeitn been considered an impossibility, namely, the ascent of tbe * Old Man Hock ’ uo.s successfully accomplished last week hy t!i ■ Survey party camped at Allan’s Hill. A Survey party tried oome year or so ago, we believe, to pet a line passed over the top of the ‘ O'd Man ’ hy fireing a bal? with a line attached to it, Imt, failed. In the present ease, lonveve, a line was passe 1 over without the aid of a gun, and the Snrv-ynr and his assistant ascen led, drilled a hole in the top of ihe rock. and left a flog polo in it.. The ‘ Old Man’ consists of a solitary pillar of rock, the exact height being fifty, three feet It. is almost perpendicular, the top baa an average width o* thirteen feet, and the base an. average of from tbirtv to forty feet. The ascent, was accomplished ro'elv by the aid of ropes. There is no doubt when one stands alongside of the ‘ Old Man • he is, to speak Colonial,- -“ A Term.” '

Mr j. 0. Jones, proprietor of the Spottis Creek Flour Mill,' will have in tbe District | in -time fur thq coining harvest a Steam , Threshing Machine.' This should prove a| very welcome addition to the farming plant : hf the district, apd ye hope that Mr Jones will l e well supported for bis energy. 1 A list of the winning numbers drawn at the Art Union, in aid of the Catholic Presbytery, Opbir, is published in another column. The Secretary informs us that as the principal part of the tickets,, sold in-th6 immediate,ldeality, the whole of the most valuable of the pji yea, feltf o; Jpdgl Ap • dehftt The wliole amor was an unqualified success, and thanks are due to all concerned. Floriline 1 —Fob tub and Breath. —A few drops of theJiqubl," Fjpfj-. line’’"sprinkled mi a wet tooth-brush pro- ’ duces a pleasant la'her, which thoroughly cleanses the teeth from a>l parasites 'or impurities, hardens the gums, prevents tartar, stops decay, gives to the teeth a peculiar pearly-whiteness, and fragrance to the breath. It removes all unpleasant ojour arising from decayed teeth or tobacco smoke. “The Fragrant Floriline," being composed in part of Honey and sweet herbs, is delicious to the taste, and the greatest toilet discovery of the age.

The public should be watchfu l of the effects which they frequently have on tbe body. The skin and the. nervous system suffer severely ; erysipelas, rheumatism, colds, sore tin oats, and many other complaints are frequently generated through the above causes. When symptoms show themselves they should he promptly attended to. Holloway's Ointment and Pills are wonderful remedies, and eradicate the above attacks immediately they appear. The Ointment should be robbed into (he parts affected, and tbe Pills taken accorning to the punted directions.
