and in many instances none can bo procured either for lore or money.As much as and 810 per month is freely offered, and still the supply is m l equal to the demand.Query: Is this the result of so many marriages, or has the N.P.anything to do with it I Sir Leonard ought to be interviewed on the subject.our At E.B.D.Lafieur\u2019s Store all to be sold out to make room for New Stock Sawlogs are running jiast here very thickly at present, indicating that the rivemien and steamboat commanders doing their duty.The boys have commenced to practice hase-lell in the evenings.It is said they intend having a friendly game with the Quyon club on Dominion day.We are sorry to hear of the death of the Rev.N.Austin, late jiastor of the Portage du Fort Methodist congregation.The sad event took place last M eduesdny at his home.are To (ilUNii RrvBH \u2014The Ottawa river is now at its highest, although about six feet lower than it was laat year at the same time.No northwest ducks have so far passed down, anil a gradual fall of the stream may bo looked for without continued heavy rains which are not now to be looked for, and which farmers do not want.Tne water may lie expected to bo low this season.\u2014 Pastor* Visit.His Lordship, Bishop Lon an is at .resent on Ins ] esterai visit through his diooese.He will visit Lapasse, Fort Coulonge.and Bois Franc on Friday, Mutunlny and Sunday, and on Monday evening will reach tho church at Vinton, Upper Litchfield, Loin whence he will proceed to the Calumet church.Our mailers w ill remember that ho was elevated to the Episcopate last summer, by Leo X111., as Bishop of Cythere, and Vicar Apostolic of Pontiac, and established his See in Pembroke, consequently the present is his first pastoral visit and great preparations are in progress fur tho event.New Enterprise.- Mr.Alphonse St-,1can, with commendable enterprise has emliarked in a new speculation which we have no doubt will prove a success.We refer to his raft of dry pine fur the Montreal Market, which he will sell for lime burning pur] oses.The timber was cut on Chalk River, anil arrived at the head of Calumet yesterday.Mr.St Jean has charge of the raft himself.-?- Fire Pp.otei tiox.\u2014Pembri >ke is to have its new Ronald steam fire engine this week.The manufacturer will give the engine a thorough tiial before handing it over to (lie -Corporation.Tho price paid for it is $3,600.Two hose reels purchased by the council of Pembroke from Chief Young of ( tttawa city, arrived at that place last week.§80 apiece w as tho price paid.Now the insurance companies have been asked to reduce their rates.The accident was Go and see BUST ACHE who is always ready to show goods for inspection.saw \\ A good deal of sickness prevails at the present time in different sections of the county, and altogether the past winter and present spring have been trying with many.There is some talk of an effort being made shortly to start a farmers\u2019 grange in Pontiac.The idea is a good one, and would certainly be of great benefit to all parties concerned, A saw mill is badly needed here, the supply of lumber furnished by those in the vicinity being inadequate to the demand.Dressed lumber has to I«3 ported from Renfrew or Amprior.Oh the tiny little ants, how they clamber up our pants, at the pic-hic 'neath the willows in the glen, how they seem to take delight in, the obnoxious s|*irt of bitin\u2019, indefensible and modest gentlemen.I Tub Weather.Since Vennorand Wiggins have given up the Imsiness of manufacturing weather to order, there is a great change for the I letter.Old sol's rays are darting down upon us with daily increasing vigor, and vegetation is at present progressing rapidly.The piping of the bullfrog awakens the echoes each evening, and in short, nature is ap%iearing in all her beauty.Deanery Mebtino.\u2014Service was held in Shawville last Wednesday morning at ten o'clock, immediately after which the Deanery Meeting was held.The following rev.gentlemen and laymen were present:\u2014Rev.Messrs.W.|H.Naylor,Rural Dean, Shawville ;

Miss Annie Morrison, Bristol.The Miss Miller referred to here is sister of the editor of the Pembroke Oban-nr.Cheese foctorics do not appear to lie in a flourishing condition in Pontiac at present, owing to the clittieulty of procuring the necessary supply of milk.We hear the one on the Calumet Island is slmut beginning operations.The cold ami twck-wanl spring coupled with the high price of butter must militate mure or less against the industrial enterprise.v CotJLONiiï.\u2014 Hoping tlrnt you w ill have things in shape to issue your first number, I forward you a few items from Coulonge, that pretty little village containing the \"lofty mansions\u201d w hich are such an eye-sure to your neighbor of the Advance.Firstly, then, there are three new buildings in course of erection, (one intended for a general store), two frame, and one sided timber ; and a fourth, the walls of which have been nip for some time, has been roofed, and I understand is to be fitted up for a tinsmith's shop, which 1 have no doubt, will be a paying investment.The bazaar which has been going on in the Unman Catholic Church here, for the past two weeks, came to a termination on Saturday evening last, when a considerable quantity of stuff, which remained unsold, was put up at auction, anil brought good prices.1 ilid not leant the exact amount realized from the bazaar, but it could not be less than throe hundred dollars, which went to paying off the debt of the church.It was a decided success, mainly attributable to the energy and perseverance of Rev.T.Nap.LcMoyne, resident priest, who seems determined to at least \u201c pay as lie goes.\" The different saw-log concerns on the Coulonge, are busy putting their logs thro' the slide, and out into the Ottawa.Mr.Fraser s square tunlier, in charge of Mr.\u2022tolui Lurry, is all ove.ibe slide, and forty or fifty cribs of it are ahead) rafted up and ready for Qutliec del-stand he will have two hundred cribs, and very handsome, well-made timber it is, too.Our young friend, Mr.Alfred Gaudier, came home from college last week, where he carried.of the \u201c gold medal \" prize, and a cash prize of sixty dollars, and in fact everything in the way of first prizes.Tlie Coulonge brass liand turned out and serenaded him the next evening after his arrival, when he made a neat little sjicech short-but to the point.I believe he intends to remain at home during the summer months.Most of our stores are doing a good business just now, as they invariably do when the shanty buys are around.Business of all descriptions is brisk here; Mr.Morrison, blacksmith, having turned out no less than six new waggons this spring already ; and our two shoemakers, Messrs.McCuaig and Merleau, have more work than they can do.What we Want liadly here, is a good tailor none but a good one need apply.I am certain that a good tailor would do well here.Fur hotels, we have no fewer than four three too many ; but the new license law will regulate that, and cut the uumlier to one.Although there are four, they all seem to pick up a good, easy living.The brass band under Prof.Farrell, gave a very succeaaful concert here a week ago.Some forty or fifty w ore obliged to go away, aa they could not gain admittance, the houae being crowded before the performance commenced.Mr.William Ardill of your village ia busily engaged re-plastering one of the \u201c lofty mansions \" of the \u201c sombre aha dowa \" which hurts the Admuice man's evea so badly\u2014that of George Bryson, A Discount of 5 per cent on all Cash Purchases.8* Mill |clnt'i;,li is doing a gTsid business carryiiTiussi sg-ers and freight between Purtagifud Sand Point anil intermediate \u2018Janet, is nicely fitted ip and Business is very dull It consequence of the farmers being hag tooth nul nail, getting the apringteed sown.The following are tie quotations f.r this week ;
