Dangerous HoLE.-T-rThe bottomless pit on the gravel road 2J miles north of Markdkle. known as "Allen's sink hole," IS now in a very dangerous condition to the travelling publick. Travellers who are aware of it go round by the back line two and a half miles out of their, way m order to avoid it, but those who may strike it unknowingly are m great danger. The road has went down over two feet under water, and many hnve recently narrowly escaped serious injury in crossing it. This, whole has swallowed thousands of dollars of township, and county mnney, bat all to no purpose, and we firmly believe that until a floating bridge is con- structed and placed over it, the authorities may centinoe to expend money without any fac^M of a permau- entjob. Something mnsfe be- done, however, npid^t right eaiJ]^ ' equal it. Sold by A. Turner Co. Druggists, at 25 cents, 50 cents, and $1.00 per bottle.

Monday and Tuesday, January 4thi and 5th, are the days appointed on which will be held the promotion ex- aminations throughout this inspector- ate. A great deal might be said about these examinations. It is admitted by all who carefully consider the matter, that they ai'e of much impor- tance, and it is greatly to be regretted that, some action has not been taken to have a set of papers prepared- for the whole county. We thms that the inspectors of the county are the per- sons to take action in the matter, and Lj.ve it brought kefore the County Council, to see if that eminent body would apportion a grant to defray the expenses of such. This is, done in a great many other cDuuties in the province, and we see no reason why it sliodd not be done in this.
