Therwwas nothing on the uh»rg<-:-.«»fveet this mornings and couseimentty the services of hi» Worship wer« not ruonired for criminal busmtms.. W« notice from our Timaro contemporary hat Mr..V«l<rin,. who so miraeohnxsty escaped injury on Thursday when he had fallen fe«tw««n the Timaptt pfattWro and the train. •Wft» brought up before- the: Mayor ef thvt town, charged with entering a railway carriage w&sb in motion* and fined £2.

It may be remembered that a few months since a man named WiUllah met with an accident on the Breakwater, by which he lost his leg.

Already the benefits accruing from comrwm'cation with other towns are making themselves apparent, for wc notice the Timara morning journal draws comparisons between the ptatform at the Timant Hallway Station and chat of Oamarti, to the advantrga of the latter. It is by noting improvements, and following examples worthy of being copied, that alt parties will be mutually benefited by the connecting link lately madeIt will he seen by an advertisement in another column that the Kev Father Kelly intends raying Oamartt a vi, i\ on this day we«fc, on nhieb oeea. ion Lc will deliveries lecture on " rati* and its devolutions."

The lecture haa been delivered both in iHmedin and Lawrence, and the Fres? of both player bave spoken in teniw of the highest commendation of its interesting nature and the t hxprtenee of its deliverer.
