ge 1 200 20 81.50 A-YEAR.AN ECCENTRIC MISERA REMARKABLE case is likely very shortly to occupy the attention of the English Chancery Courts.An eccentric character named Rhodes, who for some years past lived the life of a recluse in one of the most respectable localities in East London, has just died, and the litigation involved in the settlement of a dispute about his property will probably produce some strange revelations, It scems that he has left to the National Lifeboat Institution and to a London hospital very large legacies.Four of his relatives, however\u2014 two of whom are living abroad\u2014intend challenging the validity of the will, on the ground that the testator was not of sound mind when he executed it, and the following extraordinary facts are stated as constituting the chief evidence upon which they rely for proof :\u2014The old man, who was a bachelor, lived alone in a house for which he paid £40 annually, his estate at the time of his decease being valued at nearly a quarter of a million sterling, It is known, however, that he entertained constant fears of dying in poverty, and at some distance from Bis dwelling\u2014being shy of his neighbors\u2014he regularly stood begging alms of passers-by.As a housekeeper, his economy was surprising.To purchase his meat hé was in tho habit of walking about two miles to a shop, where at certain times he knew he could get scraps at about 2d.per Ib.In carrying home his bargains he was not unfrequently followed by a small regiment of strange dogs, whose scent hunger had sharpened.Occasionally a joint was purchased, and when cooked was hung under the sitting- room table, where it was sliced as required.A half-used joint was found there at his death.To save the cost of stair- carpet, and, as he professed, to prevent wearing the stairs, he used to sort the heaps of rubbish swept from city warehouses, placing the old bits of carpet he might luckily find singly upon each stair, just where stepping took place.To prevent his coat-sleeves getting worn at the edges he tied pieces of sacking round each of them.His stated reason for bequeathing a legacy to the Lifeboat Institution was that his brother, who was shipwrecked and drowned at sea, would have been saved if a lifeboat had been at hand.THE RULE OF HOSPITALITY.TRUE hospitality is a thing that touches the heart and never goes beyond the circle of generous impulses.Entertainment with the truly hospitable man means more than the mere feeding of the body; it means an interchange of soul gifts.Still it should have its laws, as all things good must have laws to govern them.There should never be a guest in the house whose presence requires any considerable change in the domestic economy.However much the circumstances of business or mutual interests may demand in entertaining a stranger, he should never be taken into the family circle unless he is known to be wholly worthy of a place in that sanctum sanctorum of social life.The fact of an invitation gives neither host nor guest the right to be master of the other's time, and does not require even a temporary sacrifice of one\u2019s entire individuality of pursuits, To stay at a friend's house beyond the time for which one is invited is to perpetrate a social robbery.To come uninvited to a friend's home is as much a misdemeanor as borrowing his coat without his permission.It is debasing the coin of friendship to mere dross when a man attempts to make it pay his hotel bills.The fact of two men having the same occupation and interests in life gives to neither a social right to the other's bed and board.A traveling minister has no more right to go uninvited to a fellow- reacher\u2019s house than a traveling shop- Kee r or shoemaker has to go uninvited to the house of his fellow-crattsman, Men ate ordained to the ministry as preachers, teachers and pastors, and not as private hotel-keepers.They who go into the country in summer as uninvited guests of their farmer friends should be rated as social brigands and treated accordingly.These few social maxims are by no means to be taken as a complete code of laws.Others quite as important will spring up out of the personal experience of every reader of this article, and the justice and equity of all may be tested by that infallible standard of society\u2014the Golden Rule.There can be no true hospitality that in practice is a violation of this rule; and you may safely rest assured that you have given the fullest and most perfect measure of entertainment to your neighbor if you have done exactly as you would be done by.LE CANADA.In an address at the concert of the St Patrick's Society, Montreal, the Hon Mr Flynn, minister for Crown Lands in the Quebec government, used the following disloyal language : There ate, doubtless, some among you who have witnessed the tribulations of an unfortunate country, who have personally suffered, as what Irishman has not, the oppressions practised upon her people, but who cling to ber all the more fondly in her affliction, and will cling to her till death summons you before the power which judges nations when J thm as well es individuals (applause).To you, tu ook, tio To applied the Conadion defence words the poet puts in the mouth of the Greek dyipg far from his native land, \u201cet dulces moriens reminiscitur Argos,\u201d or like the heroic Irish General Sarsficld, who, expiring on the glorious fleld of Landen, after helping to secure victory for the French, exclaimed as the life-blood dropped slowly into the palm of his hand, \u201cUh that this bright blood were shed for Ireland.\u201d (Great cheers).The Montreal police force comprises 219 members, 59 of whom are Irish Catholics and 54 Protestants ; the remainder are French Canadians.I'he Protestants jay a trifle more than half the taxes, and support the General Hospital nearly exclusively, although nearly three-fourths of the patients treated are Roman Catholics.There is but one l\u2019rotestant upon & detective force of six men.In the city of Quebec the property paying taxes amounts to $15,848,564 in value, that exempt (nunneries and churches) to $5,139,000 ; if the exemptions could be abolished, the revenue could be increased one-fourth without an increase in the rate of taxation.Last year there were 1902 failures in Canada with $29,347,000 of liabilities.In 1878 the number was 1697 with $23,908.- 000 of liabilities, showing a large increase for last year.1 in every 29 who carry on business failed last year.Winnipeg, Jany 21.\u2014Captain Young, of the Customs Department, Winnipeg, who has been visiting officially the distant posts un the boundary, arrived here yesterday, having left Wood Mountain on December 12th, He experienced considerable hardships on the way owing to the recent unusually low temperature.Four of his horses were frozen to death, their legs being cut by the crust of the snow.The following is a summary of Capt.Young's news :\u2014The Blackfeet have been killing cattle belonging to the settlers and traders since last fall.They commenced this west of Fort McLeod, and gradually worked their way east to Fort Walsh, where they killed several cattle while Captain Young was there.Though the lakes and ponds are teeming with fish and game, the Blackfeet were actually starving, because they are too proud to kill anything which they cannot hunt on horseback.At Fort Mc- Leod about 7,000 are living at the expense of the Government.There are plenty of buffalo at Fort Walsh.The Sioux are at Wood Mountain, and are behaving well ; no depredations are reported.The Crees and Assiniboines in the vicinity of Fort Walsh have not received much Government provisions, and feel bitter because supplies supposed to be for their benefit have been distributed to the Blackfeet, who formerly dared not come so.far east.The Blackfeet are well armed with Winchester rifles and revolvers, and have an abundant supply of ammunition.Must of the Canadian Indians are now huuting south of the boundary line, and are doing well.The French papers publish mournful stories of the distress prevalent in certain quarters of the .city of Quebec, and L\u2019Evenement cites a case in which a poor woman actually killed and cooked a cat to obtain food for herself and her children.F.Bowen, charged with the murder of Francis Daley near Lennoxville, and who escaped from Sherbrooke gaol after the Grand Jury returned a bill of indictment, has been traced to San Antonio, Tex., and will be rearrested.The murder was one of shocking brutality.Bowen made friends with his victim at a tavern and drove home with him.He must have watched his opportunity and brained Daley with a wrench, He then tied his body to the back of his own vehicle by the neck and drove the horse to the door of Daley's residence, The wife of Daley on hearing the vehicle stopping at her door opened it and beheld the body of her husband as described.Bowen was arrested upon evidence adduced, and the Grand Jury found a true bill against him.While awaiting his trial he made his escape from gaol, it is thought, through the assistance of friends from the outside, and the Government immediately issued a circular offering a reward of $1,000 for his apprehension.The writ for Argenteuil has been issued.The nomination lakes place on the 5th, and voting on the 12th of February.Mr Abbott, the well-known lawyer, opposes the re-election of Dr Christie.Two officers, on Wednesday of last week, seized an illicit still in the township of Egremont, county of Grey.A tirm at Belleville have an order from Liverpool for two thousand bushels of clover seed.The notorious Jack Sheehan, who was accused of the murder of Hackett, but was not tound guilty, was sent down to jail at Montreal on the 21st, a raving maniac, He has been recently both violent and morose.This morning his mania was religious.He said repeatedly that he was making his peace with Gud, the Queen, and in tact the world.He said he would soon become a good Catholic.Un being conducted to the van for conveyance to jail he closed his fist and said to the police, \u201cGood-bye ; that thing will never be found out.Fifteen hundred dollars will never bring it out.That murder will never be fuund out.\u201d Messrs Gilbert, founders, of Montreai, have signed a contract with the Government tor 350,000 worth of heavy guns for i The some Sir oies to take up the rocks in the Galops Rapids, and is looking after the contract.A horrible murder is reported from Desert village, on the Upper Ottawa.One evening, lately, two Indians went to Hennessy & Brisbois\u2019 depot to buy goods.Hennessy sold nearly all the a in stock to them, which Briebois then and there claimed.An altercation arose between Hennessy and Brisbois in the presence of the Indians, and after completing their purchases Brisbois told them not to atop at the depot that night, but to go and sleep at another shanty.The Indians did as directed by Brisbois, and on the following morning Brisbois went to the shanty where the two Indians slept and otfored them the clothes which they had seen on the murdered man the previous evening.The Indians would not take them, whereupon Brisbois told them that Hennessy bad died during the night, and requested them to bury him.Brisbois then departed, and has not since beon heard of, After the Indians had broakfasted they went to the depot, and there saw the mutilated body of Hennessy in bed, and his clothes covered with blood ; unquestionably murdered by his partner Brisbois.The Indians would not take the murdered man's clothing for fear they might be saddled with the murdet They are afraid to move the body, awaiting the action of the authorities, UNITED STATES.New York, Jan, 12.\u2014 Large numbers of 4 sightseers still continue to visit Edison's laboratory at Menlo Park, where thirty lights are still burning with apparently as great brilliancy as when first lit.Edison claims to have overcome the difficulty experienced with his lamps, and says many sceptics who have visited the laboratory lately went away convinced that his light is à success.An evening paper says that after the exhibition in New York, arrangements for which are now being made, the light will be offered to the public for general use.Alcoholie insanity is manifested in a great variety of ways, sometimes quite harmless to others than the drunken lu- natie, sometimes otherwise.When its crazed victims take possession of railway engines and start out on a mad race it is a serious matter.Such a case occurred recently at Parkersburg, West Virginia.A drunken telegraph operator, while out on a \u201cgpree\u201d, went into the railroad yard, from which he \u201ctook & locomotive which was attached to four coal hoppers, and started down the road at the rate of 25 miles an hour.\u201d He had gone about five miles when he met the passenger train from the East.Into that he ran at full speed, \u201cwrecking both locomotives, and throwing them, with the baggage car, off the track.\u201d Fortunately the passenger cars kept the track, and no one was injured.The engineer and fireman of the passenger train jumped and escaped serious injury, The drunken lunatic was found in the wreck somewhat but not seriously injured.The indignation of the »assengers, as may be inferred, upon learning the full state of the case was very great, and the fellow narrowly escaped lynching.He was subsequently lodged in jail, and the following day, after he had recovered from his drunken frenzy, said that he \u201cwas totally unconscious of anything connected with the affair.\u201d The destruction of property and the detention of travel were serious results to those directly involved, but providentially no lives were lost.How great was the peril to all is obvious, The State owes protection to the lives and property of its citizens against such awful, and avoidable, risks.It is not extended by legalizing the liquor traffic.Oswego, Jan.21.\u2014The Secret Service officers captured last night 6 men and 3 women in the actof coining money.Metals, dies, acids, &e, besides 700 counterfeit American and Canadian coins, were seized.3 others, who belong to the same gang, were arrested at Sandy Creck at the same time, Counterfeit bills and coin were found in their possession, It is April weather at New Orleans.Orange, fig, peach and plum trees are budding, and strawberries are in blossom.Bradford, Pa., Jan 23.\u2014Early yesterday two heavy freight trains collided between Cameron and Sterling on the Philadelphia and Erie Railway, the operator at Cameron failing to deliver orders to hold the eastbound freight.He was arrested.Lynching is threatened.Two locomotives and twenty cars were wrecked: Engineer Dean of the Westward train and the fireman and breakman on the Eastern train were killed.Three other train hands are not expected to live.Washington, D.C, January 22.\u2014The Women's Sutfrage Convention was very largely attended this morning, a number of Congressmen being interested spectators.The matter of must interest discussed was a resolution that one-half of the census takers and enumerators should be women.This was supported vigorously by Lilly Devereaux Blake, of New York, and Mrs Stewart, of Delaware, and others who took the ground that women could take the census just as easily as they now pursued the duties of bouk, insurance, aud sewing machine agents, and also that they could more conveniently enter the homes of women without creating such embar- vessment 95 would be mised hy gen.MISCELLANEOUS, Of John Macbean, superintendent of the Caledonian canal at Fort Augustus, Scotland, whose death is reported, the following anecdote, illustrative of his conscientious and fearless discharge of duty, is related :\u2014Mr Lowe, then Chancellor of the Exchequer, passing through the canal in Mr Pender\u2019s yacht, wished to got the turn of the locks, which of right belonged to tho passenger steamer Gondolier.Tho captain of the latter steamer was willing to accodo to tho request if Mr Macbean would sanction it.Mr Pender introduced Mr Lowe to Mr Macbean as Chief Commissioner of the Canal, Mr Macbean said he knew he had the honor of addressing his chief, but asked, \u201cIs it seemly for you gentlomon to make laws in London, and come down here to break them !\" Mr Lowe, folt tho full foree of the remark, and complimented the superintendent for his at-' tention to duty.The Gondolier kept her: turn of tho locks.On Christmas morning a riot occurred ! at Fethard, county Tipperary, between some soldiers of the Seventh Hussars, stationed there, and civilians.There had been a good deal of drinking the previous night in the canteen and in the town, and later on some civilians encountered three hussars out on pass.It isalleged that the soldiers, being Lo the north of Ireland, exclaimed \u201cDown with Pope and Popory \u201d and that tho civilians replied with other equally insulting cries.A row was the result, and then the hussars went into barracks and brought out fourteen or fitteen of their comrades, and the fight was renewed on a larger scalo with about twenty-six young men of the town.In the affair a hussar lost his sword, The unard from tho barracks, under Lieutenant ohnson, soon turned out, dispersed the civilian rioters and brought back the soldiers, some of whom have been sentenced to pack drill for periods varying from seven to fourteen days.The sword was brought back to tho barrack ground next morning.No civilians wore arrested.Dublin, Jany 6.\u20141'wo men named Ryan, father and son, were arrested to-day nt Clonmel on a charge of killing Edmund Brereton, a young man whose body wns found in a lonely place near Thurles with his skull smashed.Brereton attended mass on Sunday at the chapel of Gartma- hoe, near Ballingarry.On his return ho met the Ryans, who, to his observation that, \u201cit was a fine day,\u201d replied \u201cit would bo if you were dead\u201d They, however, walked together some distance, and a quarrel arose abouta long-standing dispute respecting two or three acres of land.When they came to a lonely part of the road the Ryans bent Brereton\u2019s brains out with stones, Panama, Jan.13.\u2014The Cana Valley has suffered a visitation of floods, which seem to have been general throughout Columbia, The river rose until over three miles in width, Several small villages were destroyed, and some lives lost, farmers visited their haciendas in hoats, trying to gather their crops left on the trees.They had to go armed to protect themselves against immense snakes which gathered in branches, driven down the valley by the waters, The losses aygre- gate 31,000,000, On December the 10th the first blast on the Cerra Calchra for i the Isthmus was fired by Madame De- Lesseps.This is tho, first blast in the operations of this canal construction.A Lill has Leen presented in the Bun- desrath proposing the addition of cleven now regiments of infantry, two of artillery and one battalion of pioneers to the Cer- man army ; also the addition of thirty- two field batteries to the existing artillery force.The changes contemplated would enjail a permanent yearly outla 17,0-)0 marks and a primary expenditure of 27,000,000 marks.The bill further provides that the army, on a peace footing from April, 1881, to March, 1885, shall be one per cent of the population, thereby raising the present peace force from 401,- 000 to 427,000, The preamble of the bill justifies the increase by reference to the comprehensive army reforms introduced by the neighboring States, leaving the German army numerically in the rear, even after taking into consideration the newly proposed army increase in the infantry and artillery branches.London, Jan.22,\u2014Her Royal Highness the Princess Louise sailed to-day from Liverpool.The Princess was accompanied to the steamer by her brothers the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Edinburgh.Her suite

disaster reached the homes of the operatives the vicinity of the shaft was thronged with members of the families of the workmen who were known to be in the pit at the time, who gave vent to their grief in loud cries and clamoring for speedy means to be taken to deliver those who might not be dead.12 were taken out alive but died from their injunes The total loss of life is set at 70.lndig-|

Queen's Bench a Aylmer opened, when the Okas, for the time, were placed on trial on the accusation of burning the Catholic church at Oks.The following report of the proceedings is taken from oh eo Witness : Judge Bourgevis, who presided, is a fine, portly-looking wan, with strongly marked features aud loud, frank voice, all bearing evidence of fraukness and fairness, On bis taking his seat on the bench, and the Court being opened, Mr J.R.Fleming, QC, the Crown proseeutor, aak- ed that the names of the prisoners be called, when all answered except ome, Lazare Akwerente.Mr Flemiug usked that the iuterpreter be called us the Clerk's pronunciation might not be in accord with Indian usages.This was done, but Lazare answered not.Lazare is an old wan accused of cutting the hose, Mr Fleming asked him to Le called for bail.Mr Maclaren said there were no bunds- men.Bail had been given, aud the prisoners had been kept before the courts fur some four years, and had been let out to appear at Ste Scholastique last midsummer.Thoy had appeared, but thers was no trial, and, there was no existing bond for any prisoner.All had appeared voluntarily.He had taken all possible means to colloet the prisoners butore the trial.They were scattered over all parts of the country in Quebec and Ontario.After discussion it was decided to call the names of the bondsinen.\u2018These being called, answered and being called upon to produce the body of Lazare Akwerente replied they were not hound to do so, ren Mr Fleming asked that process be issueil against Akwerente.Tho matter was then dropped until after intermission, the subject incidentally coming up again.Mr Maclaren stated that no notices of tho trial had been served on the prisoners, whereupon Me Pouliot, late of the Provincial Police, now a constable at Oka, said, \u201cI served them myself.I am constable\u201d At this the tdudge snubbed him smartly saying \u201cWo have lawyers cnongh in this case: outsiders had letter keop quiet\u201d The counsel for the prosecution, Mr Fleming, and Mr Wilfred Prevost for the private prosecution, retired for consulta; tion.Returning, they asked that Xavier Kareutatsi be callod, and he stepped into tho box.lois a tall, Lroad-shouldered, intelligent looking wan, evidently with a fair share of French-Canadian blood in his veins.Ho was nsked the question : \u201cDo you understand English 7° \u201cYen,\u201d ho answered, Mr Maclaren then applied that six jurors be called in French and six in Eng- fish.Me Fleming denied that English was the language of the defenes ; English aml French both were the Innguages around there, Mr Maclaren then supported his demand, quoting the action of Judge Jolinson in the previous trials and the ac.(quiescence of Mr Mousseau, who proseent.- ed, that the defence should have six Eng- lish-speaking jurors as far as the pnnel ndmitted, Ho also quoted the law on the subject, Me Jo PL Foran, who assists in tho defence, followed, taking the ground that English is the languages of the eoun- try, and every British subject is considered an Eoglish-spenking man unless he proves himself a French-speaking man.The Judge \u2014Can you prove that Ene.lish is the language of this country Mr Foran\u2014Ceitainly, in twenty min- ntes Lean get an English statute in which this is shown.The privilege to the French of retaining of their language was a concession made by tho British.Mr Fleming in reply held the matter had already been setthal and the defence was not entitled to six English-speaking jury.He contended the language of defence was the mother tongue of the prisoner.The Judge held the defence meant the accused.If there had been any precedent there was no reason to follow it.He remembered & cass in Montreal where the prisoner was a German and demanded a Jury of his own language while his counsel was English.He was disposed to refuse the motion because it had already been adjudicated on by Judge Johnson who had decided against the call of six English jurors as shown by the concession on the part of the prosecution.He would not at present pass judgment on the matter, but would not say how far the consent governed the decision and advised the Crown to allow some English jurors on the panel.Had there been no decision previously he would have had no hesitation in granting the motion upon the production of an affidavit.On this decision Mr Maclaren challenged the array of jurors, and moved to quash the panel, because of irregularity in making up the list which acted adversely to the prisoners, French being summoned instead of English, the Knfilish settlements being overlooked.Mr Maclaren said that he would not have taken this step had not the Crown attempted to deprive the defence of all English jurymen.On this the Judge said the point was a legal one, fairly taken, and asked what answer the Crown had to give.They pleaded & recess, and asked to go to lunch.The challenge to the array dropped as 8 bombshell into the camp of the prosecution.After recess, they fyled a general answer, alleging the challenge insufficient.in fact and law.The Judge asked what course was to be fullowed.Tho counsel for the prosecution gracefully gave way to the coun- «1 for the defence.The counsel jor the defence, equally obliging, left, the initiative to the Judge, who smilingly referred it back to the counsel on both

communicated with the different parties and arranged for meeting all of them in Montreal on Tuesday.All the members of the deputation attended, namely : Julius Scriver, M.P.; Dr Cam- cron, M.P.P.; Daniel M'farlane, Warden of the county ; W.B.Johnson, mayor of Hemmingford ; and Daniel Boyd of this village.They first waited upon Mr Hick- son, manager of the Grand Trunk ; the Hon.Jas.Ferrier, chairman of the Montreal and Champlain Junction Railway Company, being also present.The deputation were courteously received and frank answers were given to the very direct questions put by Mr Scriver.Mr Hickson said plainly and decisively that the road would not be built unless the municipalities gave substantial aid.On being asked to define the aid required, he said the municipalities would have to secure the right of way, grade the road, bridge it, fence it, lay the ties, and give something towards paying for the iron, on the increased price of which he laid much stress.The total cost of the line from St Isidore to Dundee he estimated at $700,000, or fully $13,000 a mile.lle expressed a strong desire to see the line built, but the company would not modify these terms, which, he insisted, were reasonable, and no more than what municipalities in Western Ontari complied with, He denied positively that the Grand Trunk had had any ulterior object in securing a charter for the extension to Dundee.The deputation at once felt that all negotiations in this quarter were at an end, for the terms were far beyond what the municipalities would for a moment entertain, and had it not been that a meeting with the City Council had been arranged, they would rather not have gone to it.The mayor had called a special meeting of the councillors, of whom a large number were present.Mr Scriver stated minutely the object of the deputation, which was to see what assistance the city might be disposed to give towards the line along the Chateauguay valley, as projected by the Montreal and Champlain Junction Co.Mr Hickson was present and had with him a large map, embodying the result of the late survey, and showing the line from the Victoria bridge to Dundee.Mr Holton also mid a few words, and suggested that Montreal could afford to give a bonus of $200,000.Several of the councillors asked a number of questions, and all appeared inclined to favorably consider the matter, but, of course, no promise of what they would likely do was given.Both before and after the council meeting, the deputation had long interviews with Geo.B.Phelps of Water- town, NY.He explained that an extension of the Rome & Watertown road from Potsdam Junction to Montreal had become essential to its prosperity, and that such an exteusiou would receive the support of the railroad companies west of Watertown, fer it would give a through line from Nia- gore to Montreal along the south shore of Lake Ontario and the St Lawrence.He said no local assistance from our District would be required beyond the right of way and our best efforts te secure them à charter.Being & through line, and thiere- fore seeking, the most direst route, the company does not want to be tgamaelled by te pondisione bp

jury lists, that they could secure a purely Catholic jury.There are ten municipalities in the district of Aylmer, seven of which are largely Protestant.From these seven townships, the sherift did not draw a single juryman, but brought the whole panel from the remaining three, which are almost exclusively Catholic.Mr Mac- laren objected to the Indians being tried by a jury so constituted, and as the point was a new one, no sheriff having ever so flagrantly violated the law, the prosecution and judge were nonplussed, but finally the latter ruled that the trial go on with the panel as at present constituted.Should the trial go against his clients, Mr Mac- laren will have good grounds for appeal.IN the Montreal city council on Monday evening there was a short debate over a resolution authorizing the Mayor to be in waiting at the railway station to receive Messrs Parnell and Dillon, and to present them with an address of welcome.It was objected to by the Protestant councillors that neither were worthy of any such compliment, and in this several French Canadian councillors agreed with them.A division resulted in a tie, when the Mayor said he would, after seeing the address, use his discretion as to presenting it or not.It will be a disgrace to Montreal should two men who have, fur the past month, been nightly vilifying Britain, her institutions and her Queen, in the ears of Americans, be accorded a civic reception.The adulation that has been paid them by both political parties in the \u2014_\u2014 \u2014 States has been sickening.In order to DAIRY FACTORY

experienced for other ten years, while it is plain that bad the wolicy not been so largely followed of selling butter and cheese regularly during the summer, there could have becn no particular rise in the Fall.It was because the summer make of butter and cheese had been marketed and had into consumption in England, that the improvement in price in the Fall was possible.Had the summer's make been held on to, there would have been a glut in September and October, and, instead of prices rising, farmers would have found it, as in 1877 and 1878, impossible to sell their butter for what good lard brings.Shipping as made, there were no accumulations, last year, of old stock at Liverpool and Glasgow of either butter or cheese, and the result was that when the season came when these products are of the finest (quality, and can be held in store without losing flavor, they met with a kcen demand and prices mounted up, sided, no doubt, by speculation.LAGUERRE ('HEESE FACTORY.This factory, which is a new one, was not ready for work until the 15th of June.As described in the Gleaner last August, it is one of the most conveniently designed and best equipped cheese factories in the District.D.G.McBean was in charge and worked up the large quantity of 923,420 Ibs of milk, making therefrom 62,600 ths of cheese, being a shade under 10 ibs of milk to the pound of cheese.So well satisfied were the patrons with the way they were doing, that they continucd sending until the 15th of November.The price charged them for making was 2 cents a pound, and they netted from 55 to 65 cents per 100 Ibs.according to the months during which they sent.The factory will be still more largely patronized next year.DUNDEE CHEESE FACTORY.Mr McPherson had, as in 1878, John Craig in charge of this factory, which started on the 20th of April and ran until the 20th of November, making a season of 7 months.521,008 lbs of milk were handled and 51,800 Ibs of cheese sold, so that a little over 10 lbs of milk to the pound of cheese was required.Patrons netted 53 to 65 cents per 100 Ibs of milk.THE HUNTINGDON CHEESE FACTORY started on the 20th of May and ran until the 25th November.450,000 ths of milk were received and 44.890 1hs of cheese sold, being as near as may be, 10 ibs of milk to the pound of cheese.Those patrons who sent up to theend of the season netted 63 cents the 100 ths of milk, those who dropped sending before the highest price for cheese was reached got less, the lowest being 55 cents.The patrons were well satisfied, and their number will be increased next year, for Mr McPherson has again leased it.He will, next season, reduce the price for making and selling, at all Lis factories, from 2 cents to 13 cents.Gordon McBean was cheese-maker.Mr McPherson endeavors to get all his factories to turn out cheese of as uniform a quality as if all made at the same place, and in this he is remarkably successful.At none of his factories last year did he color.Under his system of making, a high average of milk is required, but the cheese, if not as moist as that from other factories, keeps its flavor longer and commands the best price going.To encourage patrons to take pains with their milk and send it in the best condition, he gave a prize of $20 to the one who did best in that regard.At the Huntingdon factory it was awarded to Alex.Shaw.HUNTINGDON

are about the best in my whole district.The marks obtained by the best scholar in each school (increased by ten per cent.for each year that he was younger than fifteen) you will have already seen in the newapapers.The average of the 3 schools duly examined in Howick is 474 ; for 10 achools in Urmstown 451 ; for 5 schools in Hin.chinbrook it was 221; and for 5 schools elsewhere 314.All your teachers seem to be trying to do their duty and their pupils seem on the whole to be making very satisfactory progress, altho\u2019 there are always some who do not take advantage of their opportunitics\u2014op rtunities which are invaluable and which will never come again in their lives.I would wish particularly to mention the excellence of the dictation in Nos & sud 10 of Ormetown (Miss Nolsn's and Mine Gomble's heolg), of 130 aging la No 11, and the great improvement, in the face of great discouragements, of the teaching of No 8.or the great convenience and ultimate economy of uniformity, I would saggest that you instract your teachers to gradually introduce the Spelling Book and (Davies') Grammar of the Ontario or National series, MacClear's Sacred History (the shilling edition), and Miles\u2019 History of Canada, and warn the parents that by the year 1883 at latest you will allow none others to be used, and indeed their use will probably be rendered compulsory before that date (Consol.Stat.xv 5.65, ss.2).It is a pity that your ratepayers, though s0 liberal in the great cause of education, should buy any more books soon to be obsolete.Children should be warned to try to continue to get the old 90c.edition of Lovell\u2019s Geography.The new edition (just out) is dearer and superior in its appearance only.To get it will introduce confusion in the classes.All children should have copy-books with printed copies set in them.Ten cents worth of them will teach a child to write more than ten cents worth of paper with copies set by the teachers will, Many country teachers write in the \u201cslap-dash\u201d or \u201cthick-and-thin\u201d style.This makes a page look as if it had been peripateticised by a splay-footed spider whose (obviously pensile) destiny had rescued it from drowning in an ink-bottle.Apart from this (for certain other reasons) children improve faster when they use a regular copy-book.The copy-books I recommend are the Spencerian copy-book 3 or 4 or 5 and the old edition of Miller 6, 7 and 8.I would suggest that a box or case be made for the globe in numbers 6 and 7 ; that the desks be fastened to the floor in numbers 3 and 4, and that hat-pegs be put up in No 5, and that the partition be removed and a porch duly provided with hat-pegs be added to No 3, which is now too crowded.The blackboard in Miss Lindsay's excellent school (No 7) has too smooth a surface to write upon.Try this récipe : Dissolve 40z.of common glue in 3 half- pints of water.While applying with a woollen rag stir in a little lamp-black and 30z.of the best flour of emery.Apply thrice to a new board.Common mill-board or paste-board fastened to the walls is cheaper and as good as a black-board.This is needed for No 8.Iu all other respects your schools are a credit to yourselves and ratepayers.Teachers are instructed in the School Journals patented by Bradford Bros., Sherbrooke (1.75 a dozen), now in general use, to record each month the total attendance of each scholar since the year began and not his total attendance during the month, and to enter all the boys first and then all the girls (and in the same order by names) on each page \u2014 including of course the Ledger page at the end.That all but two have neglected to do so must be an oversight and not to be ascribed to the general weakness of the human intellect.You will find special praise awarded to Miss Nolan in the Educational Blue book for 1877-78 just published.She has, however, so many scholars that it is impossible for her to do justice to all.It is evidently your plain duty to resolve to provide an additional room and assistant teacher for No 2.The school can then, from the date of the resolution, be declared a Model school and obtain its fair share of the superior Education Fund as well as the ordinary grant.\u201cDuty must be done.\u201d \u201cMoney devoted to education, whether by an individual or a community, is not spent but invested at high interest.\u201d It is for you to do this.The ratepayers have only by courtesy a voice in the matter.F, C, EmsErsoN, M.AS@ The Valleyfield paper states that Mr John Nicolson has been

taken by surprise, made a suitable and feeling reply.After the guests had enjoyed themselves for some time with vocal and instrumenta: music, anecdotes, &c., they were invited to tea, and one glance

the chair, and opened the meeting by reading the report and comparative statement of valuation of the estate,as made by the committee of the shareholders.The report stated that the committee had gone over after paying Molsons, their cash value was not over $35,500, being $36,919 less than Mr Court valued them at.The report recommended that an offer of $100,000 be made for the estate, payable in three instalments, the last one year hence, which would give the creditors 25 cents on the dollar.The report went on to say : \u201cYour Committee have reason to believe that this amended offer will be acceptable to a large number of the creditors, not only because it will save litigation and affect a speedy settlement of their claims which, otherwise, may not be settled for years, but, also,

refused to marry him.Having pleaded guilty he was sentenced to seven years\u2019 imprisonment in the Provincial Penitentiary.A few days ago, as the regular stage was proceeding from Collingwood to Owen Sound, it stopped at a hotel on the route.All the male passen ers and the driver went into the hotel, leaving Miss J.Me- Laren, of Paisley, sole occupant of the stage.The horses becoming frightened, started off along the road towards Owen Sound at a mad gallop.Miss McLaren was seen by those at the hotel to open the door of the stage, a covered one, and deliberately step out upon the rave of the sleigh.This furnished very insecure footing, being only about one and a half inches wide, but by clinging with one hand to the cover of the stage, she managed to steady herself.It was supposed she was but to the astonishment and admiration of the spectators, she was seen to work her dangerous way along the side of the stage till she arrived opposite the driver's seat.Into this she managed to climb, and, grasping the reins, brought the madly plunging horses to a stand.By her cool and courageous action Miss McLaren saved in all probability her own life, and several hundreds of dollars to the stage company as well, Duncan McQuaig when called upon to ive evidence in a case in the Enquéte urt Montreal on Friday, refused to do so except in his mother tongue, the Gaelic.Remonstrance was useless; to all the arguments ot counsel Duncan was obdurate, and though he understood and spoke English fluently in the Court room previous to the examination, yet when the question of taking evidence was raised, he obstinately shook bis head and refused to give it in any vernacular but his own.e was not going to be entrapped by the wily Saxon counsel into givin, in a foreign tongue which might be tortured to criminate himself, and therefore, Duncan, who is a stalwart descendant of Highland ancestry, clung to his decision.Now, as a knowledge of Gaelic is not required in order to pass a law examination, and as there are no phonographers in the city sufficiently expert in the art of transmitting sound to r to take evidence in that polysyllabic language, the counsel for the prosecution was at a loss how to proceed with his case, while the counsel for the defence appeared to enjoy the dilemma.Finally the refractory witness was brought before the Judge, and a number of questions asked him by the opposing counsel to show that he must of necessity, understand and speak English, \u201cWhere were you born ?\u2019 he was asked.\u201cAt Soulanges,\u201d he replied.\u201cDo you not speak English there every day ?* \u201cSometimes and sometimes not,\u201d was the reply.\u201cHave you not lived several years in the United States 7\u201d again asked the counsel.\u201cI lived there the greater part of three years.\u201d \u201cAnd what language did you speak when there 7\u2019 \u201cEnglish and Gaelic,\u201d he replied.This settled the matter.Judge Jette, ordered the witness to give his evidence as required ; and Duncan went off with the counsel and the stenographer, shaking his head and muttering against evidence the injustice and the indignity of being obliged to give evidence in & language which he evidently considered a foreign one.Halifax, Jan.24\u2014A young woman named Mary Hayes, aged 20, got drunk last night and fought with her
