March 31st.
There is a pood in front of the temple of the Ged of Fire in Ho Ka Strost in the waters suburb. This pond is lot out to the farmers for growing vegetables. The authorities think that the site is very suitable for the building of a market and intend to fill it up shortly.

WORKS - SUSPENDED.
The Governor's Yauen was to be completely pulled down in order to build a large college on the site for training selfiers. On the 5th inst the work was suddenly stopped.

It is a templation to say that those responsible for the production of "Lady Hantworth's Experiment" on Saturday night had been mored by a desire to show the other members of the A. D. C.
