The gotdlies generally in a snb*-  stratum of rocky soil, just above the solid  ro ck, i n th e fissures of wh ich i t is foil n d fre el y  and.it is also abundant in the gravelly deposit above this. It is remarkable that the  gold is v found in no less than three distinct  strata, all formed by the action of water and  lying directly one above the other, the uppermost being within a foot or two of the  surface, just below the turf.- This would lead  to the presumption that the sources are not  farfexhsfcant, and that at various times, some  not far remote, deposits had been made at  the various heights observed. Hence the  general impression seems to be that the matrix  will be found in the hills immediately above  Kildonan. But no gold has yet been discovered in .Ufa; and though quartz is by no  me^ns ^ommon ..through . the district ft is  not, so far as yet observed, auriferous,   bnlv  ana  cniirnmon   ^P   ,-^A.i     .     -    . ��������� *******  fnnrt7ei?rei* mind? a llieceofgold has been  found intimately associated with felspar as  well as quart?;, which has given rise to tho  presumption, favored by (he ffneissosa -infl  granit c character of td rocks If hedltZt  that the Ktldonau gold may bo found to he  associated with granite.   . 1U lQ> Dc  /"HHE Co -partnership of McLeese & Senaj' ts thib ^ay  JL '���������. -di?solved' hy mutual coiisent.

ig I did
As I was ia the garden one mornin
hear,
As I approached a lilac bnsh tbero were one
kneeling down at prayer ;
In my imagination I tboughtlheard a throng
Of swift-winged angels as I stepped along.
As I moved on further I saw a beauteous
form,
As though it was an angel just come from the
throng.
It was as a marble statue���the flesh was off
ber cbeek ;
Cte~aV.a dowuy
sheet
I dare not approach her
I stepped a little from her and fell upon my
knees,     . .     .
And whilst in meditation I felt a gentlebreeze
Just passing through the myrtle tree and
brewing over me.
Whilst I still was kneeling there came a gentle shower
As though it was from the heavens and watered all my flowers. R. G.
