The following incident of the recent encampment at Richmond, which has not yet found its way into print, is worth recording as showing that discipline and obedience to orders were strictly maintained: — The gentleman who granted the use of the ground being anxious to allow an invalid lady an opportunity of witnessing the review on Easter Monday drove her in a carriage and pair to the gate of the field, and was about to enter when he was stopped by "the guard" who civilly informed him that he could not pass. The gentleman was a little surprised at nofc being permitted to drive on to h's own property, and gave his name to the guard, a youngster of perhaps fourteen summers and about four feet six high. He replied that he was perfectly aware to whom he was speaking, and much as he regretted to have to refuse Mm he was compelled to obey Ma orders, which were that under no

circumstances were vehicles to be allowed to pass. The gentleman had to retire as gracefully as he could, but did not do so before commending the lad for his strict obedience to orders. A meeting of the Nelson Football Club will be held at the Masonic Hotel this evening at eight o'clock. Messrs. Wilkins and Cowles delivered their popular lectures in the Choral Hall, Wakefield, on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings last. The instructive " Bible Lecture " formed the subject on Tuesday, and was much appreciated by the large audience which had assembled in spite of the unfavorable weather. On Wednesday, African views, illustrative of Livingstone's, Stanley's, and Baker's travels were the prominent features, and were rendered the more interesting by the pleasant manner in which Mr Cowles explained the different views. " Jessica's first prayer " was also well received. A portrait of Her Majesty formed the last of the illustrations^ and acted as an incentive to the audience to sing the National ' Anthem, which was heartily joined in by the crowded audience. The Rer. C. Moon presided at Tuesday's lecture, and E. Baigent Esq., on Wednesday.— Communicated. Sedentary pursuits are enfeebling.
