year there were only two ranges, viz: 200 gad WV yards, with five rounds at each. The size of the targets at the former was six feet by four ; at the latter, it was eight feet by six. Points and hits were counted throughout. The total number of cempeti‘ors was 3. Of these 33 were disqualified from cormpeting at the second range, they having failed co seore 10 at the first At the close of the first day's firing, Donald Crocket headed the list with 26 peints and one round to fire. Allan Stewart, of Duudas Rifles, Seuthpurt, came next. He scored 24 points, with twe rounds to spare; at the first range he made 16.° Had there been a disposition (and we are glad there was net) on the part of the people te gamble, we believe that on Thursday evening, the majority of them would have staked two to

About two o'clock the Volunteers marched up to Goverment House, and were kindly invated to take shelter from the rain, iv the hall, where the prizes were distributed. So soon as the prizemen had been formed in line, His Excellency and Mrs. Dundas entered the ball. They were feilowed by Mrs. Alexander, Mra. George Wright, Miss Wright, Colonel J. H. Gray, Lieut. Colonels P D. Stewart, I. Heath Haviland, Johe Longworth, A.D.C., F. Longworth, Major Hedgseu, A.D.C., Majer R. H. F. Smith, Capt. DeBloia, &e. His Excellency addressed the Volunteers present, in a speech of considerable leagth, aud of great practical importance. le regretted. he said, that he could not see thei olleper assembled in Char- lottetewn where large numbers of them could be drilled together, and go through those evolutions which formed se necessary a part of every sol- dier’s training; and where they would have av Opportunity of becoming acqnainted with each other. They all had occupations at home which engrossed their time and attention, and he knew how difficult it was ter them to tear themselves away from these occupations. In alluding to the proceedings just broug)t tu a close, His Exeel- leney spoke in complimentary terms of the prac- tree that had been made, aud expressed Lis betie! that it would bear comparison with the practice ot any of the other Colouies; nor did he think it would present an unfavorable contrast to that oi the competitors of the mother country. This year the ranges had been changed from 200 and 400 te 200 and 500 yards, in order that we might de able to institute a fair comparison between the

This was about one casualty for every 400 shets. He eould alse state that a gen thewan whe was now present saw a tolley fired at 300 yarda range. which eaptied only three saddies Ju 1535 experiments were made to test the accu racy of the old muskets, which resulted in the in- troduction inte the regular service of the Minni rifle. It wee new superseded by the Enfield wh.ch they bad been using fer the, past two days, aud after repeated trials the Whitworth rifle, with which Her Majesty ope ved the Wimbledon com- petition in INGi, was found to be far superior to either of its predecessors Having expressed a hepe that the day was pot far distant when breach loading rifles would take the place of the present weapon, His Excelleaey referred to the interest he had always taken in the Volunteer movement, and, as it was probable this would be the lasi competition he would see in this Colony, he must request those whom he was new addressing, when they returned to their homes, to assure their com rades that wherever his tuture lot might be cast, the Volucteers of Prince Edward Isiand would Occupy & prowivent plice in bis recollection, and live in his esteem. . His Excellency presented the Nativna) Rifle Association wedal to Mr. Alian Stewart, who immediately after bad the honor to receive the first prize (£10) from Mrs. Dundas In distributing the remaining prizes, Colonel Gray, Lieut. Col. Stewart, and Lieut. Col. Havi- laud spoke; but both time and space, we regret tu add, prevent us frow giving even an outline of the very appropriate speeches of these geatlemen. Whev “ll the prizes had been disposed of, Me- Gregor formerly of the Pewnal Rifles, but new of the Dundas Company , was cailed to the front, and presented with the National Rifle Association medal for the year 1862, this being the first pub- lie opportunity of doing so since itsarrival. After three hearty cheers fur [lis Excellency, Mrs. Dun- das, and Mrs. Alexander aud the ladies—a com liment as well timed as it was deserved — the olunteer Band played “God Save the Queen,” and the company eeparated.

Sucu is the title of a little pamphlet which we received lately from the publishing house of Messrs. Dawson Lrothers, Muutreal, and which purports to deal with the future con- dition of the British American Provinces. It is written with consiierable ability, bat who the writer is, we have no means of ascertain- ing. We think, however, that he will make no great impression on the minds of Britieh Americans. The public mind in those Pro- vinces, so far as we have been able to form an opinion of its tendencies, is not prepared for the acceptance of the views put forth by the author of the pamphiet. iie assumes thut there will be an almost immediate sepa- ration of the Colonies from Great Britain ; and when that event occars, he proposes that an independent Monarchy should be estab lished, taking @ Priace of the Royal House of England for a King—with one Legisla- ture for all the Provinves—one tariff, one currency, one judiciary, but no titled aristo- cracy. ‘A Colonist’ may be right in his surmise that the day is not far distant when separation from the Mother Country will take place,—she is now shaking us off as gently as she can; but be may rest assured that if we are released from the direct con- trol of one of the greatest monarchies in Europe, the British people on this side of the Atlantic will adopt a new and different form of Government. Monarchy without an aris- tocracy would be a wretched farce—~an aris- tocraey in British America we won't and cannot have,—we are too democratic in our feelings and ideas fur that; but we may and will no doubt haye befure long & form of go-

Aw ApvenrTUre WITH Bears.—The curiosity of many of the inhabitants of West River, East Point, was much gratified on the mornmg of Tuesday, the Ist ultimo, in having had the plea- sure of examining two bears which were killed on the previous evening by Mr. James Robertson of said place. Mr. Robertson having been in- formed late in the afternoon that a sheep had been killed in the pasture lands of his neighber, Mr, David Young, loaded his gun and hastened to the spot. He had not been there more than five minutes when a little boy who accompanied him pointed in the direction of a fenee close by, aud there sure enough was Bruin already arrived. The huge brute uimbly leaped over the fence and made towards the carvass of the sheep. Mr.

Rebertson took aim and fired, and down tumbled

his bearship to rise ne more. Ou guing to ex- amine the brute, they had scarcely time to re- mark, “ What a monster we've killed?’ when they heard a rustling amongst the leaves, and looked, and lo! what a sight; the woods seemed alive with bears running in every direction, and it appeared as if the whole tribe had assembled to have a feast of “fat things” at Mr. Young’s expense. ‘Two of them, however, ran up ep trees, and perched amongst the branches, whence one of them was immediately dislodged by a se- coud shot from-Mr. Robertson's gun.

He stood thus ter a wi nute awaiting her deboucker from the thicket; but whilst waiting, the one on the tree slipped down and beth immediately disappeared, much to the chagrin of Mr. Robertson, who regrets that any incident should have eccuraed to prevent Lis making a clean sweep of the lot.

For a veriod of 12 years he ministered to an attached hock in Buckingham. ‘There are few men indeed on whose character @ constraining seuse of daty leaves a deeper impress than that which was daily exhibited in his walk and couversation.
