COROMANDEL.

Where did Mrs Waterman find her ducks ? The "jam tarts" would not associate with the Wesleyan crowd for a picnic. Joe Dyer has been using strong language since the first of April. Where is Wiggins ? His friends are anxious about his health. Miss N. is becoming an accomplished horsewoman under her able tutor, J. Mr C, of the Tiki, says the ring was not made for Bevy, as it fits Mm exactly. Why did Miss 0. go in the Lottie to the picnic ? Was it because Blink was there ? B. says if C. had not been at the picnic he would have enjoyed it better. Johnny Boyd reports good progress after the picnic on Monday week. The "Doctor of the Buffalo Society's" first appearance in dress clothes looked most becoming. Why was a young lady stopped from going into the gallery at the chapel ? Tom Fenton is paying us a visit. A rival is wishing he would go away. How sheepish a young man looked when thanked for escorting a married woman home. Much flirting was indulged in at the ball given by Mesdames Fraser and Kelly. The two Sauerikrauts were to the fore, as usual. Our gallant volunteer and cricket captain has formed a football club which is likely to be a big .-success.

But she was seen to collapse when the " Orphan," in his quiet, way, merely remarked " that to a certain extent! there was a sweet simplicity about her he did not understand. It is unnecessary to state that she retired gracei ally in a very few seconds afterTvards.
