' On Monday last, a big powerful man was seen on his way to the Rifle Range with a piece of timber, pointed at one end, whilst at the other a cut had been made of a sufficient size to hold a rifle comfortably. On being asked what he was going to do with it, he said he was on his waj to shoot for the prizes. He did’nt take it any further, though, and a bad job for him, as he nearly shot the marker, and sent about four bullets through the dummy used for marking purposes.

The Company perform at Ilawcra on Friday and Satin-" day, and as iheir fame lias perceded them, we have no doubt of the result.
