England is à great country for endowments of all kinds.Wealthy men have, from time to time, Jeft large sums for the foundation of large churches, hospitals, schools, colleges, and such like, and altho, at the period of the Reformation, much of the purely.ecclesiastical property was confiscated, still, there never having been such a révolution as in France, the bulk of these endowments has remained and the values increased.The ancient Trade guilds, formed for the encouragement of special industries and for social intercourse of their members, have been lately the subjects of enquiry by a special parliamentary commission, The great feasts, where turtle soup has reigoed supreme, have doubtless often been heard of by your readers, and in fact the portrait of a city alderman hardly ever appears in the comic papers except in company with a turtle.The revenues of these companies were originally derived from annual dues and apprentico fees, but at various dates they wore left or acquired property, which has increased so enormously in value that their revenue at the present day is colossal.There Zospt- gre 12 of these guilds known as the \u201cgreat\u201d companies, such as the mexcers (founded in the Next door to R.N.Walsh's store, Ormstown.reign of Hepry 11.), grocers, fishmongers, baber- \u20ac ; dashers, merchant tailors, &c.Growing and becoming powerful in the politics of London, they were granted special charters by the Crown, and it is curious to note that the charters of nearly all declare that the members shall meet every year for an annual dinner, and these dinners are now among the most famous in London ; attended frequently Ly members of the Cabinet and \u2018Royal Family.The members of the companies enjoy the parliamentary franchise, and some of the guilds have curious functions to discharge, altho they exist in little else than name.The fishmongers still appoint fish-meters at Billingsgate market, and the vintners and dyers are the joint protectors with the Crown of the swans on the Thames, which are royal birds, the property of the Crown, not permitted to be killed, but allowed to roam all over the river.The 12 \u2018great companies have, together, an annual income of £730,000 to £800,000\u2014a greater sum than the combined revenues of the universities of Oxford and Cambridge.About £200,000 of this is income from trust funds, devoted to special trusts, and which the commission reports to have been well administered.Some £100,000 aro spent every year in entertaining.Half a million dollars cach year in dinners, is not bad! However, altho legally, these great sums belong to the companies, and can be so spent by them, parliament will probably soon devise some means for turning them to more useful account than to pay for champagne and turtle soup.Walking along the Strand, the day after my arrival, I was tempted to look at a thermometer, and found it registered 84} degrees in the shade.Altho this was modified by the reflection of the sun from the stone footpath, still such heat was considerable, and is felt much more in London than in Montreal, the air being damp and heavy.Locomotion is unpleasant and the means of keeping cool are not so great as in America.Ice is now getting into more common use, but still it is not always given with a drink of water, which, indeed, is in itself almost rare, beer and wines being still the general drinks.Mark Twain says Europeans condemn ice-water as hurtful, but how do they know, says he, \u201cthey never bave tgsted it.\u201d The English, too, have hitherto usually taken their amusements indoors, but are now adopting more of the continental fashion of having entertainments in tho open air.At Kensington, in the south- music hall (the Albert Hall) has lately been built, and beside it, are fine large gardens, laid out with tefraces and ponds and fountains.Here, last year, was held the International Fisheries Exhibition, where Canada made such a fine display, and this year the International Health Exhibition is daily and nightly attracting great crowds to the same spot.The entrance is a shilling, and on Wednesday evening two shillings and sixpence (about GOc), and the grounds, especially in the evenings, are packed.As a Heulth Exhibition the visitor, probably, pronounces it a humbug, a great part of the show space being taken up with pure advertising of potted meats, canned fish, vegetables, &c., but there are several very attractive exhibits, A \u201cStreet of Old London,\u201d contributed by the corporation and the city uilds, is very interesting ; it represents old ndon of about 200 or 300 years ago, and is said to be a very exact representation.A narrow street, lined on both sides with quaint houses with overhanging eaves, so that from the upper window you can almost shake hands across the street, the upper rooms filled with curious-looking furniture of the ancient style, and windows with small diamond-shaped panes, fastened with lead instead of putty, while below are the shops of the various trades: blacksmiths, goldsmiths, harness-makers, and others, tbe workmen within dressed in the old costumes of the various crafts ; and stretching out above over the street are quaint old clocks and belfrics, which sound the hours on musically toned bells.This is the most popular part of the Exhibition and is crowded all day.You can wander all about, into the towers and rooms, and examine the furniture and watch the men working, and thus obtain a very fair idea of what the old town was like.Another interesting exhibit is the Historical Dress Collection, containing costumes from the time of William the Conqueror down to tho present day, all dressed on wax figures in largo glass cases.Many of these are very beautiful and others are extremely grotesque.One of the most extraordinary is a figure of a young blood of the middle ages, the toes of whose shoes are so long and pointed that they have to be fastened with a chain to the kuee, and the costume of a \u201cMacaroni\u201d or swell of the reigns of the Georges has a wig about 2 feat tall from the head and ending in a point, with a gorgeous coat of scarlet, The collection to show that in matter of male dress we ave certainly improved on our ancestors, but the same will hardly be said of female attire, when we see the figure of a tightly-laced lady of the present day groaning (the figure) with pain at the terrible contraction of the modera corset.There is also to be seen a school of cookery, a model dairy with butter-making by machinery, aad the Chinese street with a number of pig-tailed Celestials in their native costumes, vending all sorts of wares, including even tol pipes, whose relation to hygiene we bad always supposed to be very remote, if not altogether antagonistic, Here, also, are Chinese ladies\u2019 boots, into which a baby\u2019s foot could scarcely be squeezed; but small feet are fashionable with ladies in China, and the feet are early placed in iron shoes to prevent growth.There is a figure, too, representing the corpse of à Mandarin ready for cremation ; and number- western quarter of the city, a magnificent

rice with chopsticks, or taste a alice of roast Chinese dog, or a plate of birds'- nest soup, and wash all down with a cup of tea pre after the native fashion, without cream or sugar.In tho evening the trees and fountains are illuminated and bands play solections of choice music.The evening I was there the \u2018band of the French Engineers from Paris and that of the Grenadier Guards wore discoursing alternately, and a Chinese band, too, had been imported for the occasion, but its music was, to European ears, a perfect pandemonium of discordant sounds.The visitor could, if he desired, indulge in an excellent lunch for sixpence or à shilling, prepared of fruit and vegetables by the Vegetarian Society, whoso motto is that meat is not necessary for man.The exhibition, of course, if confined alone to appliances directly associated with hygiene, such as drain pipes, sewer traps, model hospitals, and so forth, would have been intoleralily dull to the great mass of the public, and would probably have been but little frequented, but Ly enlarging the classes of exhibits it has hit the popular taste and been a very great succes, in fact it is the favorite lounge for the \\West-Enders, and on a Wodnes- day evoning may bo scen large numbers of the wealthy classes strolling in after dinner in their evening dress, to pass an hour or two in the cool gardens, listening to the band and watching the beautiful illumination of the fountains.n London, the \u201cScason\u201d\u2014that is the time when parliament is usually sitting, aud the town is fullest, and when the operas an theatres and other place of amusement arc at their best\u2014extends from May till July.The very time, of course, when everyone who could, would Le expected to be in the country, which is then so fresh and green, but then, during the Autumn and Winter, the upper classes have been shooting and fox-hupting, and in Summer they travel, so Spring is the only period left for a sojourn in London ; for, of course, most of the wealthy families have a house in London aud another in the country.London, in the Season, looks its best; the shops display their finest goods, and tlio streets are thronged with gorgeous iages, which, in the afternoon, usually tind their way to Hyde Park, around which they drive in slow procession for about 2 to 3 hours.The Princess of Wales and her daughters and others of the Royal Family may often be seen driving in the crowd, and on either side of the road well-dressed people sit under the trees, or walk up and down the path, to view the sight.Of course, evary Season there are always somo special objects of attraction or excitement for the idle and pleasure- seekers; a new actor or actress at the theatres \u2014such as Miss Mary Anderson, tho beautiful American, who has become so popular in Lon- don\u2014perhaps some great work of art or a foreign potentate or somo conquered tributary.A short time ago they bad Cetewayo the captive Zulu king, a great big burly nigger of hearty manners, who was quite a favorite, and is credited with having learnt sufficient English to be able to say \u201cfiz\u201d (champagne) and \u201cgoodnight.\u201d This year, thero was the Maori king and his suite, from New Zealand\u2014their faces completely tattoed over with curious desigus.He was taciturn and retiring, taking little interest in things around him, but liking his pire and a dish of fish, of which he was very fond and wishing all the time to get back to his native country.He was taken for a visit to the British Muscum, where, it is said, he-only staid a quarter of an hour, and fell down when an Egyptian mummy was shown him.In the streets you see numerous foreigners, often in their national dress.Quite a number of Chinese, somo in gorgeous blue and yellow dresses\u2014not the poor laundrymen you see in New York and Montreal, but rich Chinese merchants come to do business in London, and Imperial officers of high rank.Great numbers of Japanese, who, however, adopt the European dress.East Indians in long white robes and various colored turbans, Turks, Persians, Siamese, and others, natives of the less known paris of the East, and, in fact, representatives from everywhere, London is every year becoming more cosmopolitan, A great many fino hotels have been built, and the tradespeople lay themselves out more now than formerly to please and attract foreign custom, Even in the home life of the country there are many strangers found.At the Universities thero arc a good many Japanese and Indians.A prince of Siam namad Soot- chai, was a student at Oxford a short ti mao ago, and was a very popular young fellow.e son of the King of Abyssinia was cducated in England.At the law schools are a large number of Indians preparing for the Bar, and 10eny of the prominent Soglish politicians of to-day bear foreign (European) names.Mundella, wh ose father was & poor Italian image boy; Munty, Schuadharst, member for Birmingham, de Worms, and a host of others.Many, too, of the writers, dramatists, and authors bear un-English names, but are now probably as English as if English born.When the Protestants were persecuted in France they found a safe refuge in England, and being mostly of industrious and thrifty habits they prospered in their new homes, many of their descendants at the present day holding high positions in the country of their father's adoption.The great judge, Sir Samuel Romilly, and David Garrick, the actor, were sons of Huguenots.A favorite means of convenience ip London is the Metropolitan or underground railway, running, for the most part, in tunnels under the atreets and houses, and affording a very cheap conveyance.The engines are smoke- consumers, but still the atmosphere is sometimes, especially in hot weather, very oppressive, The trains on the main lines run every 2 or 3 minutes, and they are kept so well under control that each train is brought

Lorette, yesterday, the wife of Henry O'Sullivan, Inspector ve birth to triplets \u2014two boys and a girl, and, at latest accounts, mother and babes were doing remarkably well.Mrs Sullivan being a daughter of their late Grand Chief Picard (Tahourcuche), the Hurons of Loretto celebrated the occasion by & general rejoicing, honoring tho advent of the little strangers moreover by firing a salute fiom the cannon in their village.At Valoi@and other places on the line of the Grand Trunk it bas been the custom of the farmers, whose lands are crossèd by the railway, to drive their cattle up to the fence, and as goon as certain trains have passed to pull down the bars and take them over the line to be milked.Whether or not they have any understanding with the authorities of the railway we havo not learned, but certain it in that they have crossing rights, and that trains or engines should not follow each other at too close intervals.Last night, as usual, at the \u2018farm of Mr Quesnel, at Valois, the railway gate was opened as soon as tho train leaving Montreal at 5 o'clock had passed.Hardly, however, had the poor beasts got on the track than an engine comes thundering along striking several cattle.The chargo is made that it had but just got away when it was followed by another engine with similar results.À party who saw distance between the train and the first engine, while less

upon the surface of the prepared soil, and covered with a harrow or cultivator.Broadcast sowing may be by hand, when the expense of a machine is saved, or by & broadcast sower, with which the work is Indeed, cheapness and rapidity are the principal advantages of broadcast sowing, either by hand or with a machine.More or less of the secd remains upon the surface of the soil after the harrow or cultivator has passed, while the covered grains are at various depths\u2014some too deep and others too shallow for their best development.There is therefore some loss of seed, which must be allowed ior in the seeding.Sowing drills cannot be done by hand, and the cost of the machine must therefore be counted when this method is considered.The advantages of drilling, however, far outnumber those of broadcasting, so that drills are now very generally used in the ith a drill properly adjusted, nearly every grain can be placed at the neighboringgrains, There in drilling than in infavor bushels per acre is used broadcast, while one-half to tive-eighths of this is sufficient with the drill.Wheat that is drilled-in \u201cwinter kills\u201d leas than where it has been scattered broadcast.This winter killing is caused by the frequent freezing and thawing of the earth near the surface, which raises the roots out of the soil, and ex- j20ses them to the drying air and sun.When a vd the

men prejudiced in\u201d favor ef Ayralires \u201cset to award prises on | Rhorthérns, and men who had not a good word for Clydes, plaçed in the ring to pass judgment upon thet: A judge may be honest and impartial, but if he has not a sufficient knowledge! of what he is to set to examine, he is out of place, and bis awards are worthless.By the one judge-system we can ses that the present abase of appointing incompetent men would be remedied, and where it is difficult to get three competent men, as on pure-bred cattle, sheep, and poultry, the directors would do well to appoint one for each class\u2014that is, one really com- potent max to judge the Darhams alone, one to judge the Ayrshires, and so on.The practice of welecting judges for stock from within the county, or even the district where the show is held, ought to be abandoned at once and forever.The.very.appearance of partiality ought.to be avoided, and if « decision be bad, let those who not hage it in their power to say it was renderod through favoritism.When three strangers to stock and exhibitors-cannot be had, it would certainly be advisable to have one do man who will tell him that the blemish on such a mare does not signify, for he knows the beast and how she got it, or that he has had a colt] off such a horse and it is a good one, while the colts off the horse the stranger favors are inferior, | or, to vary the class, a man who will give 1st prize to a bull because ho has a calf off him or, means to buy one, or to a buck because he bas | ram-lanibs of his to sell.We can recall one oe-, casion [not in Huntingdon] where several prizes were unjustly given to horses through the importunity of one of the judges who knew the owners.That there are as competent judges to be found in this district as anywhere outside of it, and men, too, who would not allow their ; judgment to be warped to favor even a brother, : we know perfectly well, but the very fact that | they are local men exposes them to unjust suspicion, and their awards do mot carry the\u2019 weight required to bo of benefit in fixing the! standard of excellence among those who com-: pete or attend as spectators.Our conclusion is, when 3 competent strangers can be got, keep | by the present system; when they are not to! be had, let vne judge make the awards.où} THE Pope, in his encyclical letter condemning! Free Masonry, directed each bishop to promulgate it in his diocese.In obeying this direc: remarks of their own, and those by the bishopy of this province have been so very foolish that: comment was unnecessary\u2014the assertions were, so extreme that they refuted themselves, Strange to say, the pastoral lettter of Archbishop Lynch of Toronto, one of the most astute | and politic men in the Dominion, is of the same | character, with suchstatements as that whoever takes the oath of the Free Masons does so after being informed that if he broaks it his throat will be cut and that the object of Free Masonry is to institute a religion to supersede Christianity.Now, the Archbishop has a perfect right to condemn Free Masonry, but when he asks the public to believe what he says of it, he asks us to believe that the thousands of respectable men who are known to be Free Masons, among them judges, clergymen, and leaders in all good enterprises, are members of a society which makes murder part of its basis and atheism its aim.That is incredible, andthe Archbishop ought to be ashamed of so defaming those among whom he lives.His quotations to prove the blasphemous character of the Frec Mason society ave wholly from French and Belgian publications, aud they may bo correctly quoted and they may mot, Lut there is this to Le observed on the face of most of them, that it is not Christianity that is denouncod Lut the teaching and practice, in France aud Belgium, of the church of which the Archbishop is so distinguished an ornament, and it would better befit him to consider how those two countries have become infidel than to be wasting imprecations upon a society so small and select as that of the Free Masons.The only reference to their operations in this country, is to the expenditure of the grand lodgé of Quebec.In denying that the main object of Free Masonry is benevolence, ho states that, out of the income of the Quebec grand lodge from 1870 to 1880, amounting to $24,378, it gave in alms only $2,032.The Archbishop adds : There are 68 lodges, which sum divided amongst them will give the large sum of about 83 a year for benevolence donated by each lodge.We have not seen anything given to widows and orphans.Nothing could.be more misleading than this, The grand lodge is an almost purely executive institution, and that out of its small income of $2400 a year it bas been able to give a tithe in charity is surprising.The main channel through which Masonic charity flows is that afforded by the private lodges ; cach by itself paying out of its income towards those in need ; and had the Archbishop summed up what the 68 lodges have so paid, he would have found it to exceed that of any 68 convents of equal revenue.To represent that the small surplus, after defraying executive expenses, the grand lodge gives in alms, is all the Frec Masons of this Province bestow ta relieve the widow and orphan, is unjust.We do not approve of secret societies, beeause their effect is to add to the partitions which already divide man from man, and so ulineces- sarily add to the complications of our social state.But that is no reason why we should stand aside and allow them to be abused and misrepresented.That the Free Masons are a most benevolent body of men is a fact within the \u2018personal * ksowledge of the writer, and doubtless within that of many readers of .the Gleaner, and it becomes a duty, therefore, not to allow the Archbishop's slander to go unchallenged.There are thousands who have not the slightest intention of ever being Masons, who are repelled by all affectation of secrecy, who yet will testify, from what they have seen, that, in their unwearied attention to the sick, their thoughtful liberality to the distressed, and the guardian-care they exercise over the bereaved, the Free Masons set an example which it would become many who condemn them to segs to emulate.\u2014 THE VILLAGE COUNCIL.THis council met on Monday ;

The picnic that came off on the 28th ult, to raise funds for the purchase of a new organ for St Agnes church, Dundee, was very successful, as about $300 was realized, together with what was received in the competition between Edward McCaffrey and James Welch for a silver- destroyed by the frost.Both because of the headed cane, and Mra Arthur Moore and Mrs large breadth of that grain sown in this town | Thomas Follan for the old organ.The one reship and of the comparatively high price which it has brought of late years, the loss resulting to the farmers from the destruction of the crop will be considerable.The Indian corn planted on low-lying land was badly damaged by the frust\u2014so much so, in many instances, that its owners are cutting and feeding it to their cattle.The refreshing showers of last week have greatly revived pastures and the after-growth \u2018of meadows, to the great benefit of the dairy {interest hereabouts.The deliveries of milk at the factories arc increasing again.Mr Beaudin, proprietor of one of the creameries at Russel- town Flats, made sale, some days ago, of the product of his establishment for the month of ; June and the first half of July (about 300 tinnets) at 22}c\u2014an exceptionally good price.| Mr Beaudin having cold storage at his com- \u2018mand, is able to keep his butter in better con- | dition during the summer months than those who are obliged to store in cellars.Your cor- j respondent has not heard of any other sales of | butter, nor of any sales of cheese, in this or the 'adjoining township, of late: Gheose could not be sold in Montreal last week for more than 94e.The gencral opinion of the dealers seems \u2018to be, however, that an improvement in the \\ state of the market will take place soon.| Your correspondent was glad to observe, on a trip which he made last week on the railway from Ste Isidore to Dundee, that the frost had not done nearly so much damage in that section of country as it did in this township.The report which he received from such of the farmers of Dundee as he had an opportunity of conversing with regarding the crops, were most encouraging.The yield of grain bas been large \u2018and the quality excellent, while hay, tho not quite so large a crop as it was last year, is of superior quality.ITop-growers, too, in that township are in good spirits.The yield is somewhat less than an average, it is true, but tbe quality is unusually good, while the outlook tas to\u2019 price is very encouraging.An excursion, under the auspices of the Methodist Sunday-School of this village and of Covey Hill, from this station to St Helen's Island, is to take place on Wednesday next.| The excursionists, leaving the cars at Point St Charles, are to find their way, a short distance, i to the Lachine canal, where they are to be met by the steamer Filgate, and by it conveyed to and from the island.As the sum charged for the whole trip is only 75e for adults and 40c for children, the excursion, provided the weather should be favorable, will be well patronized.As a consequence of the sudden and extreme change of temperature which followed the heated term of the middle of last night, a good deal of sickness, among children especially, has been prevailing in this neighborhood.Fortunately the sickness has not thus far been of a fatal type, tho in some instances the cases have bean of a grava charactor.Under the circumstances, the return two or three days ago, after a somewhat protracted absence, of our village physician, was a cause of great satisfaction to our community.Dr Wilson's friends are pleased to learn that his health bas been greatly benefitted by the relaxation to which he has been treating himself.HOWICK.August 29th\u2014The gravel train of the M.& C.J.RR.has been busy for some time gravelling the station ground and sidings.They are making à splendid job in the yard at the back of the station, which they have laid 16 inches deep.Reports go so far as to say after they are done here, the pit at Ste Isidore will be exhausted) which will mean as much as there won't be any to spare for the road into the village.It is to be hoped these reports are unfounded, and that the gravel will come all the same.One of the Lrakesmen on the gravel train came near being killed this evening.Whilst raising the draw bar of the engine, to have it attached to some empty cars in front, he missed the coupling in some way or other, and but for the promptness of the engineer he would have been crushed to pieces.As it was, one of his legs was badly bruised above the knee.He was attended by Dr Carter, and left next morning for Montreal, The Canada Atlantic construction train is as far as the Chateaugay river, but it will be, they expect, a few days before tho bridge is fit for them to cross.Mr Parham is busy at their station.Tt is about 200 feet from the junction of the G.T.R, This station, owing to its long distance from the main road, will be of little service to the public, unless they make an extra good rond into it for vehicles.It is over 20 acres from tho Tullochgorum concession road.Aug.30th\u2014A heavy storm of wind and rain, mixed at some places with hail of an enormous size and quantity, passed down California concession.It destroyed several buildings and unroofed others in that locality.On the English River, between Aubrey village and the schoolhouse bridge, it was at its worst, and destroyed the new barn of Mr John Elliot, adjeining Aubrey, which was in course of erection, The hail destroyed the pea-fields in its course, making them not worth the cutting.On the Norton Creek, several buildings were unroofed and stacks of hay completely carried away by the force of the wind.The hail was even heavier than on the English River.Through the Beechridge the hail was pot so heavy, but the wind was worse.Dr Latour of St Remi was on the road with a covered carriage, which was upset by the wind and demolished, he himself escaping unhurt, Sept.20d\u2014The Cauada Atlantic construction train is to cross the Chateaugay river to-night, to commence track-laying on the North Georgetown side of the river.They expect to lose do more time till they get to the St Louis river, when this part will have to depend on the St Louis de Gonzague correspondent of the Gleaner for information as to what they

named McDonald, formerly of Forepasgh's show, was terribly burned, the flesh hanging in shreds, The heartrending cries of the men on the prairie, the smothered appeals of the dying within the car, the roar of the flames and the howling of the animals, made a scene terrible beyond description.The odor of roasting flesh and the distant cry of coyotes added to the general horror of the scene.The voices of the dying in the car grew fainter and soon ceased.Meantime, the engine had gone to Greuly for assistance aud returned with Dr Jesse Hawes.Many of the rescued, on being pulled through the small window had limbs broken and joints dislocated.Hands and feet burned off and roasted trunks of bodies were found in one place and lege in another, and piles of roasted and shrivell - casses were pulled out of the ruins.At daylight a flat car carried the charred bodies into Colorado for interment.The county commissioners buried the bodies in a huge coffin seven feet wide and 10 feet long in the Greely Cemetery.Throughout Europe, and es ly in England, fine estates are offered for sale, but ol tain no purchasers, Land appears to be becoming a drug in the mar For à Lin- colnshire estate the

Francisco sent for the head men of the establishment, and told them what he was convinced they would have to expect ; and he then explained to them his views.The rest were all summoned ; and Francisco pointed out to them the little mercy they would receive if the pirates were not repulsed, and the rewards which were promised By Don Cumanos if they did their duty.Spaniards are individually brave ; and, encouraged by Francisco, they agreed that they would defend the property to the last.The house of Don Cumanos was well suited Br subscriber bas on hand avd for sale the [to resist an attack of this description, in which musketry only was expected to be employed.All of the abpvo machines ean be seen at my Met there were but two, and no other opening place in Ormstown.\u2026 dojaru LUxaN agont für Huntingdon, O.Donaie nt at St Michel.To \" we Sh Tee * JOHN SADLER.4 hath DAR, BRYSON of H , Clméeaugusy and Bencharnois.Selle i Promch , No higher extra distances to travel, at afl bis time is at bis disposal business.All commmuniontiens addrested to David Begson, Howick, P.Q.,or to David D.Bryson, Agent, Orme- rendered musket-proof nearly as tou, P.Q, will receive immediate atteptipa.CENTRAL MARBLE WORKS.teaw To .1 2 HUNTINGDON, :.| \u2018oder 4518 ae ai ae 2 Licensed Auctioneer for the of Beauharnoh, which consists of the counties TOOms railings, to and at the treaties Paipirtdr and Deaters in all sorts MARBLE sud GRAÎITE Perseaded to accompany them.MONUMENTS,- GRAVE-STONES, \u2018ke., BRUNEI CO.desireso thank theirnumetous taminess, e cl es, and punctual ; da tbe execution of all orders entrusted to them, to merit a long been laid by.eontiauence of of First Book, 6 conta, the same.\u201ci wv.Rk 600 ; 5th Beok 600.) ; te the pehooner, which had.d i 1 Bott ary Asti ba à ot ° dd aug © hop, Elepitiary 27, |eguin steading in for the shore.Half an hour before dusk, when within thres miles, she wore Hiorrells Speuiny Book 30 cents.alytiés! and Practical, 30 cents.Mes NA ef frites à d Collier's British History, 50 centg?Sp do ta 4 il idaid, | 4 18 LO A \u2018 : pila \u2018Adirdis CLA UN Fonasiscs pad Diese ven FENODOIS - % © cudnt y ; every man round aad put her head to the offin \u201cThey'll attack this night,\u2019 ssid fool almost positive: their \u2019 + » | A À J.warm reception; replied.Diego, the second in authority.© .Pie \u2018It was soën Seo: dark pressive the vessel.supervisor of Don Cumanoy\u2019s houseliold, proved | \u2018other arrangements.making their appearance as the vessel opened in a semicircle in front of the veranda, and kept to their view from the projecting point distant \u2018Well, Francisco,\u2019 said Don Cumanos, who was | xed the glass against the sill of at night.They will attack this night I rather 1¢ was a long parallelogram of stone walls, with a wooden veranda on the first floor, for it was only one story high.The windows on the first story were more numerous, but at the base- but the door in the whole line of building.The windows below were the first secured by piling a beavy mass of stones in the interior of the inst them, rising to the ceiling from a base like the segment of a pyramid, \u2018extending to the opposite side of the chamber ; and nthe preparation was made for effectually bar- charges made reading the door before night.Ladders were then fixéd to ascend to the verands, which was high as its Donna Isidora eo woman of the establishment were in the afternoon deepatch to Don Teodoro's ; and, uest of Francisco, joined to the en- Donna Isidora, Don Cumanos was There was no want of muskets and ammunition.Some were employed casting bullets, and others in examining the arms which had Before evening all was _ received big arme and ers : pére ammunition ; the flints had been inspected ; A 100; Soll Book 85¢; 8nd Book 40c ;| and Francisco had time to pay more attention : © day, in- , bat was not yards and y- tackles are up, all mady for hoisting.ot the \u2018 thee coms, semor ; we will give thom a eaded, and some large pieces of rock, which had been rolled into the passage piled inst it.Francisco then the five men down the banks of the river, at a hundred yards\u2019 distance from each other, to give notice of the approach of the boats.It was about ten o'clock at night when Francisco and Diego descended the ladder and went to examine their outposts.\u2018Hark, Diego ! Another and another hot, nearer and nearer to them, gave the signal that the boats were close at hand.Ina few minutes the men all came in, announcing that the pirates were pulling up the stream in three boats, and were less than a quarter of a mile from the landing- placa.In another minute the sound of the oars was plainly distinguishable, and soon after the boats crept in to the bank and landed their crews.The pirates were now sccn advancing from the out-buildings in strong force.In the direction from which they came, it was only from the side of the veranda, at which not more than eight or ten men could be placed, that the cuemy could be repulsed Francisco therefore ave orders that as soon as some of the men had fired they should retreat, and load their muskets, to make room for others.When the pirates had advanced half-way to the house, on the clear space between it and the out-buildings, Francisco gave the word to fire.The volley was answered by another, and \u2018a shout from the pirates, who, with Hawkhurst \u2018and Cain at their bead, now pressed on, but intendent above, to which Don Cumanos bad a' not until they had received a second discharge corresponding key, one of the chicf men inform- ! from the Spaniards, and the pirates had fired Lin return.As the Spaniards could not at first fire a volley of more than a dozen muskets at a time, their opponents imagined their force to he much less than it really was.They now wade They spread themselves up a continued galling tire.This was returned by the party under Francisco for nearly a quarter of nu hour ; and as all the muskets were now called into action, the pirates found out that they had à moro formidable enemy to cope with than they had anticipated.It was now quite dark, and not a figure was to be distioguished, except by the momentary flashing of tho fire-arms.Cain and Hawkhurst, leaving their wen to continue the attack, had gained the house, and a position under the veranda.Examining the windows and door, there appeared little chance of forcing an entrance ; but it immediately occurred to them that under the veranda their men would not Le exposed, and that they might fire through the wooden floor of it upon those above.lawk- hurst hastened away, and returned with about half the wen, leaving the others to continue their attack as before.The advantage of this manceuvre was soon evident.Tho musket- balls of the pirates pierced the planks, and wounded many of the Spaniards severely ; and Francisco was at last obliged to order his nen to retreat into tho house, and fire out of the windows.But even this warfare did not continue ; for the supporting pillars of the veranda being ot wood, and very dry, they were set fire to by the pirates.Gradually the flames wound round them, and their forked tongues licked the balustrade.At last the whole of the veranda was in flames.This was a grea\u2019 advautage to the attacking party, who could now distinguish the Spandiards without their being so clearly scen themselves.Many were killed and wounded.The smoke and heat became so intense in the upper story that the mon could no longer remain thore ; and, by the advice of Francisco, they retreated to the basement of the house.\u201cWhat shall we do now, senor?said Diego, with a grave face.\u2018Do ?\u2019 replied Francisco; \u2018they have burnt the veranda, that is all.Tho house will not take fire; it is of solid stone ; the roof, indeed, may ; but still here we are.I do not see that they are more advanced than they were before.As soon as the veranda has burnt .down, we must return above, and commence fiving again from the windows) \u2018Hark, sir ! they are trying the door whilo the veranda protected them from our sight.As soon as it is burut we shall be able to drive them away from it.I will go up again and see how things are.\u2019 i \u2018No, senor; it is of no use.Why expose yourself, now that the flames are so bright 7\u2019 \u2018J must go and see if that is the case, Diego, Put all the wounded men in the north chamber ; it will be the safest, and more out of the way.\u2019 - Francisco ascended the stone staircase, and gained the upper story.The rooms were filled with smoke, and he could distinguish nothing \u2014an occasional bullet whistled past him\u2014he walked toward the windows, and sheltered himself bebind the wall between them, The flames were not so violent, and the heat more bearable.Ina short time a crash and then another, told him that the veranda had fallen in He looked through the window.The mass of lighted embers had fallen down in front of the house, and had for a time driven away the assailants.Nothing was left of the veranda but the burning ends of the joints fixed in the wall above the windows, and the still glowing remains of the post which once support- it.But the smoke from below now cleared away, and the discharge of one or two muskets told Francisco that he was perceived by the enemy.\u201cThe roof is safe, thought he, as ho withdrew from the window ; \u2018and now I do not know whether the Joes of tho veranda may not prove a gain to us.\u2019 What were the intentions of the pirates it was difficult to ascertain.For a time they had left off firing, and Francisco returned to his comrades.The smoke had gradually cleared away, and they were able to resume their positions above ; but as the pirates did not fire, they of course could do nothing, as it was ouly by the flashing of the muskets that the cnemy was to be distinguished.No further attempts were made at the door or windows below ; aud Francisco in vain pussled himself as to the intended plans of the assailants.Nearly hall an hour of suspense d away.Some of the Spaniards were of opinion that they had re to their boats and gone away, but Francisco knew them better.All he could do was to remain above and occasionally lock out to discover their motions.Diego and one, or two more remained with him ; the other men were kept below, that they might be out of danger.} \u2018Holy Francis ! but this has been a dreadful nigh senor! How many hours until daylight © \u201cTwa.hogicn of Jess, 1 should hink, replied Francisco ; \u2018but the affair will be decided before that.\u2019 \u201cThe saints protect us! See, senor, are they not coming ?Francisco looked through the gloom in the direction of the out-buildings, and perceived a group of men advancing.few moments, and he could clearly make them out.Yes, truly, Diego ; and they have made ladders, which they are carrying.They intend to storm the windows, Call the men up ; and now we must fight hard indeed.\u2019 The Spaniards hastened up and filled the room above, which bad three windows in the front looking toward the river, and which had been sheltered by the veranda.\u2018Shall we fire now, senor 1\u2019 \u2018No, no; do not fire till your muzzles are at their hearts.They cannot mount more than two at a time at each window.Recollect, my lads, that you must now fight hard, for your lives will not be spared ; they will show no quarter and no mercy.\u2019 The ends of the rude ladders now made their appearance above the sillof each window.They had been liastily yet firinly constructed, and were nearly as wide as the windows.A loud cheer was followed by a simultaneous mounting of the ladders.Francisco was at the centre window when Hawkburst made his appearance, sabre in hand, He struck aside a musket aimed at him, and the ball whizzed harmless over the broad water of the river.Another step, aud he would have been in, when Francisco fired his pisto ; the ball entered the left shoulder of Hawkhurst, and he dropped his hold.Before he could regain it, a Spaniard charged at him with his musket, and threw him back.Ie fell, bearing down with him one or two of his comrades, who had been following him up the ladder.Francisco felt as if the attack at that window was of little consequence after the fall of Hawk- hurst, whose voice he had recognized ; and he hastened to the one on the left, as he had heard Cain encouraging his wen in that direction.He was not wrong in his conjecture ; Cain was at the window, attempting to force an entrance, but was opposed by Diego and other resolute men.But the belt of the pirate captain was full of pistols, and he had already fired three with effect.Diego and the two best men were wounded, and the others who opposed him were alarmed at his giant proportions.Francisco rushed to attack him; but what was the force of 50 young a man against the herculean power of Cain ?Still, Francisco's left hand was at the throat of the pirate, and the pistol was pointed in bis right, when the flash of another pistol, fired by one who followed Cain, threw a rovm- entary vivid light upon the features of Francisco, as he cried out, \u2018Blood for blood! It was enough ; the pirate captain uttered a yell of tor-\u2019 ror at the supposed supernatural appearance, and he fell from the ladder in a fit among the still burning embers of the veranda.The fall of their two chiefs, and the determined resistance of the Spaniards, checked the impetuosity of the assailanta, They hesitated ; and they at last retreated, bearing away with them their wounded.The Spaniards cheered, and, led by Francisco, followed them down the ladders, and, in their turn, became the assailants.Still the pirates\u2019 retreat was orderly, they fired and retired, rank behind rank, suc- cewsively, They kept the Spaniards at bay until they had arrived at the boats, when a charge was made, and a severe conflict ensued.But the pirates had lost too many men, and, without their commander felt dispirited.Hawk- burst was still on his legs and giving his orders as coolly as ever.He espied Francisco, and rushing at him, while the two parties were opposed muzzle to muzzle, seized him by his eol- lar and dragged him in among the pirates, \u2018Secure him, at all events! cried Hawkhurst, as they slowly retreated and gained the outhouses.Francisco was overpowered, and hauled into one of the boats, all of which in a few minutes afterward were pulling with all their might to escape from the muskets of the Spaniards, who followed the pirates by the banks of the river, annoying them in their retreat.(TO BE CONTINUED.) ALCOHOL AND THE BLOOD, Science of to-day joins with Moses of old in saying, \u201cthe blood is thelife\u201d It is su in the sense that it foods all the tissues ; conveys that prime requisite of all animal life, the oxygen, from the lungs to every particle of the bodily structure ; receives the dead matter, perpetually being thrown off from the myriads of life-ela- borating cells, and transports it to the various organs which eject it from the system ; is the source of all the vital heat, through the cherni- cal changes constantly taking place within it.So dependent is all life on this fluid, that, should the blood fail, for an instant, to reach the brain, all consciousness would at once cease, and if for a few seconds, life itself would cease.Now all alcohol taken into the stomach is absorbed by its veins and carried straight to the right side of the heart, thence through the lungs, and then back to the left side of the heart, whence it is borne to every organ and tissue of the system.As it reaches the liver and kidneys, some of it is eliminated, but moat of it continues in the circulating fluid, disturbing the organic functions, and effecting various 4 ormful structural changes, and becoming itself also chemically changed.Ono of the conatituents of the blood is fibrine \u2014thab element which causes blood when drawn from the body to coagulate, or clot.Alcohol hasan exceedingly strong affinity for water; hence, when in excess, it may either ab- atract the water from the fibrine, and thus cause it to coagulate in the body, ot, on the contrary, so fix the water with the brine, as to destroy its power to coagulate.The blood of those who have died of alcoholic excess has been found in these two opposite but unnatural states.The most important portion of the blood is the red globales.The mic has actually watched the disturbing effect of glcohol on these globules\u2014rendering their smooth outline rough and even star-like, sometimes wholly changing their proper shape, and causing them to run to- ther and adhore inrolis The effect is to impair their power to absorb and also thoir ability to pass through the minute arteries, thus, of course, À clogging them.Alcohol also dilates the capillaries unduly, and thus lessens their resistance to the action of the heart, causing the latter to bs unduly ickened, Henos heart may be made to lo one-fith more work\u2014lift, each day, to the height of one-foot, 24 tons of blood extra.he heart, of course, becomes jaded, weakened and ready to break down, and the catastrophe is hastened > other structural changes effected by the alcoho MAKING A STRAW STACK, As soon as the threshing machine comes on to the farm, one of the first questions is, how large shall we make the bottom of the straw stack 1 If you ask the threshers, they will say, \u201cBo sure and make it big enough.\u201d But if you want to save all the straw you can, a much more sensible answer would be, \u201cBe sure and make it small enough.\u201d If you have more straw than can be got on to the stack, it is an easy matter to put a waggon by the side of the stack, and draw a few loads to the barn, But if you run short of straw, you cannot possibly top off the stack properly.Barley, oats, and pen straw is frequently so much broken up by the machine, that it packs closely, and occupies far less space than rye and wheat straw.Of wheat and rye straw it will require about one thousand cubic feet of stack room to hold a ton, and a yield of twenty- five bushels per acre may give you a ton of straw.Occasionally a heavy crop of wheat |b\" known.will give one hundred pounds of straw to each bushel of wheat.When wheat, rye, barley, and oat straw are stacked together in anything like equal proportions, we shall not be far wrong in estimating, on the average, half a ton of straw to each acre.Furthermore, in such a case eight hundred cubic feet of space will be sufficient per ton.In other words, a stack eleven and a half feet in diameter will hold about an acre to each four feet in hight.One thirteen feet in diameter will hold an acre to each three feet in hight; one sixteen feet in diameter will hold an acre to cach two feet in hight ; one twenty feet in diameter, will hold about an acre to each one and a half feet in hight, and one twenty-three feet in diameter will hold an acre (§ a ton of straw), to each fuot in hight, A stack thirty-three feet in diameter, will hold one ton of straw to each foot in hight ; one forty feet will hold one and a half ton to each foot in hight.When you have decided how large a stack to make, place a fork in the centre.Tie a string to it, and if the stack is to be forty feet in diameter, tie a knot in the string twenty feet from the fark, and hold it in your left hand.Spread out the straw ou the bottom of the stack a little farther than it ought to be, and |! 3 ; then pass round the stack and push in the straw with the feet, until the circumference is twenty feet from the centre.It is little werk, and is far better than trusting to the eye.Inbuilding the stack, the main point is to keep the middle full and well trodden down.The chaff and the straw that is broken up into small lengths is more compact than the long straw, and be kept in the middle of the \u2018stack.Place the long straw on the outside of the stack, and also bind it with long straw.It is neither safe nor desirable to tread down the straw on the outside.The lighter it is the more it will settle, and the better it will shed the rain.This is particularly important after you commence to build the top.Until we get longer straw carriers, we must do the best we can with those we have.As we approach the top, the straw carrier leaves the straw nearer the outside of the stack, and the man who throws it back can hardly avoid removing the long straw and leaving the chaff.Take special pains to remove the chaff, and to pack long straw under the carrier.When threshing, the farmer should avoid, if possible, taking any steady work that will confine him to one spot.He will find plenty to do in strengthening the weak spots, in helping where help is most needed.This will frequently be at the straw stack.The outside should be raked down, and the straw thrown on the carrier.Frequent visits to the top of the stack are desirable, if for no other purpose than to see that the middle is well trodden down.When the stack is finished, hand the stacker some \u201criders\u201d to hold down the straw, and prevent the wind from blowing it off.Rails securely tied together with wire or rope will answer the purpose.Twisted hay or straw ropes are sometimes used, but it is not pleasant to havo a rail slip down on one\u2019s head.Raking the top of the stack until the straw slants down, makes the stack almost as safe againat rain as if it were thatched.\"It may not be generally known, but it is nevertheless the fact, that the United States is the leading producer of peppermint and pep- y permint oil in the world.It is principal grown in the State of Michigan and in Wayne County, N.Y.Their production of the oil in 1878 reached as high as 150,000 pounds, but in 1883 the yield was computed at not more than 35,000 pounds.This year a larger acreage has been planted, but prices have advanced on ac- The usual an- count of the decreased stocks.nual consumption of the world is about 100,- vantage in good garden soils, but requires an abundance of moisture.An acre will grow plants enough to yield from eight to fifteen pounds of oil, according to the age of the and locality, and the price is from $3.25 to 33.75 a pound.There arc no large farms entirely devoted to this product, but it is cultivated in small quantities by many farmers.It is used in me essence of peppermint, .Dangerous as the cucumber is as an article of food, it has a use too little known or appreciated.In the sick chamber, and when ice is pounds, but it is expected there will bo a considerable increase this year, as also in other essential oils, on account of apprehension of cholera, Peppermint is grown to best ad- lant iedicine, confectionery, and for perfumery,| White's 6.0 and is diluted with alcohol and water to make town 6.37 a.m., Bryeons 6.45 a.m., ARCHIBALD, McCORMICK, axp DUCLOS, Advocates, 102 St Francis Xavier Street, Montreal.Alderman J.8.Axcuizarp, M.A BCL, Prof.Criminal Law, McGill Col College.D McCoruiox, BCL, Cuanirs A.Ducros,B.A.BCL.Mr McCormick will attend the Courts io Beaubarnols, Bte Martine, and Huntingdon, and give special attention to the istrict, Mr Duclos will follow the Courts in and give special ate tention to the Districts of Bt Hyacinthe and Bedford.B@F\" Aocounts for collection msy be addressed to the firm so M.B.McCor, Huntingdon.DENTAL NOTICE.C H.WELLS, L.D.8., has removed his Dental e Office to bis new house, corner of Prince Bouand chette streets, opposite Dr Cameron's.i A.G.HENDERSON'S IS THE PLACE TO GET BARGAINS IN FURNITURE \u20140\u2014 W* Lavo uow a complete stuck, und are soll- ing at prices that must be appreciated Jome and seo our line of BEDROOM SUITES The bust value ever offered in that line.{| PARILOR SUITES In Tlair-CrorH, Raw SiLK, &e., &e., which we soll ut jast about Montreal pricos.WOVEN-WIRE MATTRESSES = AT MONTREAL PRICEE,\u2014 We also have quite an assortment of CIHAIRS, in cane, wood, and perforated seat, which par we coll very reasonable.Ba GIVE US A CALL when you want anything in the Furniture line;
