It is to be regretted that the Committee wej;a not favored' with' more propitious weather, hut as it was ahey had to put up with', it.

" Truth" gives an extraordinary story of brewers attempting to " boycott" a teetotal curate at Bunon-on-Trent, The clergyman, who has for sortie time been attached to Oliriat Church in that town, has always been an ardent! advocate of temperance principles, and recently published a pamphlet on the liquor traffio, in consequence of which one'of the "leading brewers" has withdrawn his subscription to the paruchial curates' fuud pand it is stated that, others have threatened,to withdraw all their, subscriptions 'in the pariah . unless the obnoxious curate is dismissed.

It appears that the Germans are not the largest consumers of beer and other malt liquors, as has generally been supposed. Chemical Review figures out that the production of (beer in the "Qfrmttn Empire amounts to 92 quarts per capita, but a large portion of this beer is exported. In Austria the amount is 34 quarts per inhabitant, In Great Britain, 115 quarts of very strong beer' is the ratio. In the United States the beer per inhabitant is 40 quarts, The consumption of malt liquors is increasing faster here than in any other country. The consumption, however, is chiefly limited to the Northern States, South of the Ohio River there are few breweries, The summer season is now well advanced, and notwithstanding the extraordinary amount of rain that has interfered sadly with outdoor exercise &b well as with fanning operations, the usual happy change from winter furs and ulsters to handsome drosses and elegant dolmans has Ulcon place in the. costume of the ladies, who ate fortunate in being a'lle to obtain a wonderfully varied selection without travelling from Masterton, where the stock of drapery, millinery and clothing of all kinds ia extensive and choice at Owes, Schroder & Oo.'s Hall of Commerce, Queen Street. —| Abvt. j i Early Closing.—For the benefit of. the Public, and particularly our employess, we have decided for the future to close our establishment at 8 o'clock Rait & Hare. —Advt. -
