it is as plain and as true as MONTREAL, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1876.SITUATIONS WANTED.ANTED, situations by two sigters,oue ss same room somald and the otber, as Cook, in jue ; t St.Bridgets Home, Lu- gauchetiere streot va & 220-2 ANTED, a situation as Housemald by a good wer;

instructions.The powers received the Porte\u2019s reply favorably and opened negotiations immediately for further joint action.The Portehas confidentially notified the Powers of its firm determination

powers these conditions, ag calculated to show its readiness to grant armistice as soon as the powers have taken them into consideration.The powers unanimously regard the conditions as inadmissable, but here their unanimity ends.Some still advocate unconditional armistice, while others are satisfied with a mere cessation of hostilities, AMERICAN, NEw York, September 16, The west-bound Boston

edifice was filled in every part by a vast congregation, whose attention was riveted by the earnestness and force of the reverend rector\u2019s pleading.His text was taken from the 20th verse, chapter 8, of Jeremiah : \u2018\u2018 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved,\u201d He said that in coming from Portland the other day he was much struck at the rapidity with which the leaves had changed.The- \u201csear and yellow leaf\u201d told of the approach of winter, and however much devoted they might all be\u2014 | however earnest in their lives, there is something in these days which speaks to the soul\u2014\u2018\u2018Summer is gone and we are not yet saved!\u201d It behoves us then to think that, amidst the changes of this material life, we are grounded upon the rock of Christ Jesus.The falling leaf is but a symbol of death, Death speaks with peculiar pertinency to some, He would prevail upon them with affection, and ask them to let him take them to God, and they would be saved.They ought to study God\u2019s word\u2014to lay hold of Christ, to wash in His blood the crimson of sin.There is at least in prospect the opening vision of Jesus Christ; and the days of sunlight, and the harmony and the melody which goes to make up eternal life.What will it be when Christ meets us ab the coming day of judgment ?What does God say?He has pointed out the path to all, and may He not say, \u2018\u2018 You have neglected Christ?\u201d These words were spoken to every one there and came to all ears.He would speak to a brother as one that spoke to save his soul; he asked them to think of Jesus, They said they have been wicked, especially that they are not fit to be saved ; and if there is anything cad for a minister to look at it is to see people sitting year after year in the same place as if they were to have no hand in their own salvation, Let them picture to themselves a man sitting in the open air, on some fine evening, the sun going down, and all being very quiet, Should another ask him: \u2018\u2018 Do you believe that there is a God?\u2019 would he not answer: \u2018Why, what do you mean?Surely there is a God!\u201d Bat, perhaps, another man would say: \u2018There is no God.\u201d He is an Athiest, believes there is no God, and, therefore, will not serve Him ; but the first man believes there is a God.Let the man who says he does not believe there is a God\u2014let him search the Bible, and sincerely.But the man who says he believes there is a God lives exactly as the man who says there is no God\u2014that is, he lives in a manner just as worldly\u2014 he lives as the man that would sweep from the earth the whole fabrio of Christianity.In what does the man who says he believes there is a God differ from the man who says there is no God?They would say in external devotion.If they believe that there is a God, they would follow Christ, who said : \u2018 He that believeth, and is baptized, shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be damned.\u201d Let them think of what they were, and what they are, though the fact remained that they were not yet saved.In the morning the Rev.Henry H, Waters, rector of 4e Paul\u2019s, New Orleans, preached to a large and attentive congregation, WEST-END METHODIST, The morning service in this church was conducted by the pastor, the Rev.J.T.Pitcher, who took for his text the 18th chapter of Ezekiel and 31st verse: \u2018\u2018 And make you a new heart and a new spirit.\u201d It is a great pity, said the reverend gentleman, there are so many theories in the world, and especially religious theories, worse than useless in most cases, Many content themselves with these theories of religion, without believing and without practically knowing its duties.There is a river to be crossed, and no difficulty can be experienced, for the bridge is ar But what would be thought of the man who would stop and speculate about the originality of the bridge, and, his ability to pass at all times over it ; and there are men, when the question of salvation is pressed upon them, instead of seeking redemption through Jesus Christ they begin to discuss the question of human depravity and the origin of evil, its introduction into the worl and whether we have receive guilt from Adam.They neglect their practical duty, the gieat work of their: own salvation, So far as concerns us it is of little difference whether sin was from Adam or not ; we are all sinful by nature, and as to natural depravity there is more than enough to ensure the loss of the soul for ever ; and yet men spend so much time and energy about these questions to the neglect of their souls welfare! Again, men get into dispute about this very text ; they say who makes the new heart, God or man ?There is a verse in this book saying, \u201cI will put à new spirif within you, and will give them a heart of flesh,\u201d The moment a man sets about this work of salvation God assists him ; he becomes reconciled by the grace of God and the blood of Jesus, When man falls in with God\u2019s condition he is able to serve the Lord ; then this new heart is given, It is very perplexing to tell a man to get a new heart and that he mast bide God's time, and yet tell him that God\u2019s time is now.As soon as the heart seeks Him, God is ready to help.God\u2019s Spirit is now striving with man to save him; salvation in Christ is offered us to-day in this church.If there is one here who wants this new spirit, Godis ready to give it him.Many people five without this new heart; they say we must wait God\u2019s time\u2014we must wait till weare forged toseekit.God has placed the earth, air moisture, sunshine; these are God\u2019s agents for the growth of the grain; but we must sow the seed if we wish for an increase.1f we keep the seed in the house or the barn, the agencies are there, but we shall have no harvest ; we must act our part; we must plant.So God\u2019s grace is ready for all.God has given His own Son to die for us, but if a man says I will do nothing but live according to my own pleasure, that man is lost; if there are conditionsin the natural world, so there are in the spiritual world.If a man says I will serve God, I will be His obedient servant, God will give him a new heart to enable him to do so; but you will say, does not this detract from God\u2019s glory ?Not at all ; for all good things come from God; every desire to do good is placed in the heart by Hit ; whéna man prays he glorifies God ; when he makes use of the gifts God has bestowed upon him, there is no detracting from the glory of God ; we are to see Gods glory in the daily service of life, as well as in the highest mysteries, The truest philosophers are those who see the hand of God in all that surrounds them, Has God surrounded us with religious influences?Has He inclined our hearts to reverence and devotion?Did you ever offer a sincere prayer without God giving you the desire to do so ?We do not detract from God\u2019s glory when we strive to work with his spirit.See how great a change the new heart makes in a man ; he who has been a blaspheter, a drunkard, a companion of evil-doers, becomes a child of God,~w servant of Jesus, and delights in the society of His people.He could not make this change in himself ; it is all God\u2019s work\u2014it is all to His glory.We have spoken of te conditions God hes made in nature, When we sow our soeds we soû tlious conditior nm motion, so when we pray to God we pui in motion the conditions on which he has promised to save our souls, We set the sail, God sends the wind o fill it 3 but if we keep the sails furled, we can expect no power to set the vessel in motion.If we offer no prayer, but continue to live in sin, we aink to perdition, Oh, what a marvellous power God has giver to man that he can call down such help from above.If all these influences are about us, will God be betterable tosave us at any other time than He is to-day ?Will He be more willing?Will His spirit be more powerful?Will the blood of Christ be more efficacious?Why then do you wait?God offers you His grace now ; He will give you a new heart and a new spirit, Religion is a comfort in the hour of darkness and bereavement, \u2018death and disappointment.It is the most practical thing in the world, I# shows sinful man how he may be saved, how he may become a new creature and receive God as his father and his friend.Everything is changed to him.He finds happiness where he only found miserys he sees God\u2019s goodness everywhere, Being filled with God\u2019s love, he will be found full of charity to others\u2014 charity to cover a multitude of sins, A new heart is a source of joy wherever a man goes, If you have not this new heart, ask God at once to give it you, * Except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God,\u201d May God grant this new spirit to us all.ERSKINE (PRESBYTERIAN.) The Rev, J.8, Black conducted divine service ab this church yesterday morning, He took for his text the 25th chapter of Isaiah, 8th verse : ¢ He will swallow up death in victory ; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces ; and | the rebuke of His people shall He take away from off all the earth ; forthe Lord hath spoken it.\u201d This text was full of beauties ; it threw light on certain passages where God was shown as all-powerful, conquering the King of Terrors, Robert Burns, Scotland\u2019s greatest poet, said that he could never pass his verse in Isaiah without being affected to tears.Death is the king of terrors ; but be swallowed up in victory.You have seen little children, and children of larger growth, weep themselves to sleep, and pleasant dreams overcome them ~; and he lips have smiled, still you could see marks of tears.Their sorrows had left them for a time, but they would come back on the morrow.Not so, my beloved friends, when we reach our eternal rest ; the traces of woe shall be wiped away by the Great God.It was but yesterday that we were brought face to face, as it were, with death\u2014(this was an allusion to the recent death of Dr, Taylor)\u2014and two members of this congregation were now on the point of death, and beyond human aid.The eloquent speaker then referred in feeling terms to the death of the late Mrs.Tupper, who, he said, had been taken away with the fresh bloom of youth still upon her, She had labored unostentatious- ly in the Sabbath school.Such a death would almost drive us mad and make us think that God was merciless were it not that it sends a radiance into the very grave.We are to-day at the beginning of another Sabbath school year, and Sabbath school teachers should work earnestly in winning souls to Christ.There are many of both sexes, young and old, who are living in no concern for the future; who have not given their souls to Christ.By your hopes in eternity, I charge you, be ye reconciled to God, who even now is with you.When death has his bony grip on you, God will be with you.God Himself wakes you and wipes away all tears.Once more I charge you make your peace with In the evening the Rev.Mr.Black preached from the 66th psalm, 16th verse: \u201cCome and hear, all yo that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my sou » In the middle ages men imagined that the philosopher's stone was a substance which could change anything into gold ; but they only wasted their energies, We have given up all hope of obtaining such a result, The philosopher\u2019s stone was also the cup of salvation we drained it and new life came upon us; we were different from what we were before ; we felt new energies : we had more hope of divine love ; we called upon the voice of God as we never called before, and as goon as we could realize that we were of God, then we could realize our salvation.Every one here knew whether the cup of salvation had been in his hands, Some demon offered the cup of sin, and he who drank of it died, while the cup of salvation remained untouched.God was gracious and merciful, and; this night, O! men and women who are here, God was willing, and He was waiting that you should cast aside the cup of sin for ever and drink the cup of salvation, There are some among you who have not tasted the cup of salvation, who have not called upon the Lord.Were they to wait till their hands were palsied, till their eyes were blind, till their brains were racked?The eloquent divine concluded by exhorting his hearers to love God and attend to His Holy Word.THE MOONLIGHT GAS GENERA.At the Exhibition in the Crystal Palace this week no object attracted more general aktention at night than the Moonlight Gas denerator, an illuminating apparatus of great power and efficiency.Its steady, brilliant, unintermittant light, its freedom from flickering, and the perfect immunity ftom danger attending its use, combine to make it the most perfect instrument of the kind in use, and stamp it as a veritable acquisition to the public.The gas consumed is composed of atmospheric air mixed with gasoline ; it is heavier than air, therefore, and in the event of a leak, the gas would seek the lowest levels and escape through the sewers, The gasoline regervoir is not contained in the house, but is buried six feet in the ground, and at a distance of 50 feet outside.It is constructed to hold a six months\u2019 supply of gasoline, and is filled through a rubber tube rising to the surface.An automatic arrangement fills the carburetter.The air- pump in the basement is put in motion by a weight, which need be only wound up once or twice a week, and thus the supply is constantly maintained by a very simple contrivance, To cover the effects of evaporation in winter, the gasoline is heated under ground by a small boiler, which is placed near the air-pump, and sends steam through a pipe to the carburetter The gas is distributed through all parts of a building with equal intensity, and is always under complete control, The manufacturers furnish the apparatus in six sizes, from 25 to 600 lights, and at a cost ranging from $125 to $600.They are, of course, prepared to execute even larger works at special contract rates, The machine exhibited in the Crystal Palace was one of 50 lights, and it attracted very much admiration on account of the magnificent manner in which it worked.There is this additional advantage over the ordinary coal gas: light of superior brilliancy is produced for fifty per cent.less of cost.The Bellevue Convent, St.Foye Road, Quebec, is lighted by a fifty- burner machine, Theimmense building, five stories high, was recently illuminated, and themembersof the press and alarge number of citizens were present, On all sides there were expressions of the utmost gratification, and the journals universally acknowledge the superiority of the new apparatus, Sister St.Eul/™s, Superior of the

no disturbance Hook place at the recent Home Rule Covention in Dublin, and submits the reports of the Nation and United Irishman in proof thereof, The papers in question, however, do not go into details, merely giving the resolutions and the names of the movers and sacond.ers, In the same paflers there ara reports of a meeting of \u2018The Home Rule League,\u201d and it would seem that it was here that the events referred to in a recent issue took place.This meeting was presided over by Mr.Butt, who, according to the report, had no easy #hsk to maintain order, He made use of threats, insinuated that the disturbers had ¢\u2018 the enemies\u2019 gold in their pockets,\u201d and urged the people to put any disturber out with \u2018\u2018as much force as was necessary,\u201d likewise a liberal amount of \u2018hooting and execration.\u201d A Mr.Doran seems to have made himself particularly disagreeable, He was collared and hustled amid shouts and hisses and cries of \u201cturn him out.\u201d The disturbance appears to have originated with some who call themselves \u2018\u2018 Nationalists,\u201d These regard the Butt school as far too mild, and lean toward the Skirmishing Fund \u2018order.REBUKED,.\u2014The Archbishop of Quebec bas been administering a reprimand to the intolerant Ultramontane press in two letters, addressed to the editor of the Canadien whom he very severaly rebukes for having reproduced from the Franc Parleur an article written by the redoubtable \u201cLuigi.\u201d He tells M.Tarte that after baving so frequently protested respect and submission to ecclesiastical authority, he should not fail to set the example himself, M.Tarte replies, defending himself on the ground that as Luigi had been brutally attacked in the Evenement he had given him au opportunity of defence, He asks to have the errors in Luigi\u2019s article pointed out, and promises to disavow all responsibility for them, and he winds up by saying that Luigi wished simply to justify himself in invoking before the public a judgment of the Court of Rome which has up to the present remained secret, and would have 80 remained, had the condemnation and the name of the late Archbishop Baillar- geon not been invoked in the case by the Evenement.In his reply the Archbisho9 flatly tells the Canadien that the story about a \u2018\u2018 secret judgment \u201d justifying the brochures of Georges St.Aime (another of M.Pelletier\u2019s pseudonyms, and under which he wrote a book condemned by the late Archbishop) having ever been rendered, is a complete invention of Luigi's, and he concludes by saying that contra- versialists of this stamp do far more harm than good to the cause they champion.: The rebuke administered these writers should teach them that, though they may pretend, as the Ævenement says, to be more Catholic than the Pop>, there is x point where ecclesiastical authority will step into check their vagaries.They have been keeping the I'rench press in a ferment and their pretensions have exceeded all bounds.M.Tarte\u2019s exploits have brought him into greater prominence than have those of \u201cLuigi,\u201d but the latter has been equally violent with the former, and the rebuke will fall with an equal measure of weight upon both.It is a check to fanaticism which writers of the same class should take to themselves for their future guidance.HALIFAX AND THE WESTERN TRADE, \u2014 The official report of the Halifax Chamber of Commerce upon the eligibility of Halifax as a great entrepot for Western trade, has been issued, and it indicates that the merchants of Halifax have awakened to a comprehension of their admirable position, and have determined to prosecute with energy the development of their great natural advantages for trade and commerce, We regret to observe that the whole spirit of the movement is based upon purely sectional selfishness, because it does not contemplate in the slightest degree increasing the commerce of the Domirion.This may be highly praiseworthy ina sectional or Provincial point of view if the trade and commerce of the Province of Quebec were not to be sacrificed to accomplish it; but, as the tonnage and trade of Montreal and Quebec are to be merely transferred to Halifax, the country at large receives no benefit from this contemplated transfer, and, consequently this Halifax movement is localized, and cannot claim aæy pational importance, much less national interest.According to the Halifax programme, it becomes simply a conflict between the merchants of Montreal and Quebec and those of Halifax for commercial supremacy.If the merchants of Halifax and St, John would direct their attention to trade with the West Indias, concentrate all their energies-to control it, and confine their ambition to become the winter ports of the Dominion instead of vainly endeavoring to turn the commerce of the St, Lawrence, they would no doubt succeed in their undertakings, for they would commend the respect as well as the moral support of the people.If we comprehend this movement aright, a very grave question arises in regard to the Railway policy of the Dominion Government, because this commercial war between the Provinces has been inangurated through its direct instrumentality.It will be remembered that last month a spccizl meeting of the Halifax Chamber of Commerce was convened for the pur- poze of meeting an Agent of the Dominion Government (Mr.Brydges).At that time Mr, Brydges assured them that \u2018\u2018 the JIntercolonial Railway would carry freight at the bare cost of transportation to wqugurate the proposed export from 2 After making several calcula.DS eparsons respecting.dis- \u201cKe favorable to Halifhx Ty said that = 2er pilotage charges, and in sailing vessels towage,\u201d &c., and urged the merchants to prompt and efficient action, and concluded by stating that he \u2018\u2018had communicated with several steamship lines on the subject of shipments from Halifax.\u201d The Report now before us is the first response to the Government recommendations.No doubt it is both wise and proper to utilize the Intercolonial Railway for the benefit of the country at large, and, if possible, make it pay some portion of the interest in the capital sunk upon it, but surely it cannot be considered either wise or prudent for the Government fo carry freight for the \u2018\u2018 bare cost of transportation.\u201d and that tco,for the sole purpose of destroying the trade of one Province for the benefit of another, not to speak of the sacrifice of private interests.The Quebec Board of Trade has entered a formal protest against the uge of this railway for such purposes, and have charged ths Government with discriminating against that city and the local business of the road, and also that through freights are carried at a heavy loss for the benefit of Halifax, This movement aims a serious blow at the future prosperity of Montreal and Quebec, and demands the earnest consideration of our merchants, artizans and our people generally, We shall be pleased to see this matter fully and fairly discussed upon its merits by competent and practi cal parties, or by our Board of Trade and Corn Exchange.We would suggest the following heads :\u2014 1.Are the statements made by the Halifax Chamber of Commerce in their report, in regard to charges in the port of Montreal, correct ?2.Are the charges made against the Dominion Government by the Quebec Board of Trade well founded ?3.What is the \u201cbare cost of transportation\u201d per ton, per mile, on the Inter- colonial Railway, and what on railways generally, in Canada and in the United States?4.Can railways compete successfully with water between Montreal and Halifax, and how?Or can they compete with the water route from Montreal to the West ?5.Can Halifax zompete withother tidewater ports for the grain trade ofthe West ?6.Can Halifax and St.John successfully compete with the United States for the West Indian trade ?7.Can the ports of Halifax and St.John be made the winter ports for the Dominion, instead of Portland, Boston and New York ?NE * CITY NEWS \u2014 The Retailers\u2019 Commercial Agency, lately established in this city, by Messrs.Gundlack & Co., has commenced business with 100 subscribers.\u2014 The first prize for

originated between the floor and lathing, at the head of the stairs, and was, in consequence, bard to getat.Mr, Tees thinks it must have been caused by rats carrying matches thither.A delay of ten minutes occurred in giving the alarm, arising from the key of the box being lost, and the alarm had to be struck at another box.Key-holders should be very careful, and not cause any unnecessary delay, as thousands of dollars, and even lives, may be lost by their negligence.Mr, Tees is fully insured in the North British, and $500 will cover all damage.The house belongs to Mr.Childs, and is also insured in the above Company.The greatest damage was caused by water, and the Salvage Corps did very good service in saving the houeehold furniture, Nrw GLasaow.\u2014 To the Editor of the EVENING STAR : Dear Sir, \u2014My attention baving been drawn to a letter entitled \u201cA New Country Retreat,\u201d and signed - James Callaban, in your issue of Saturday, 12th August, I beg to make a few corrections with regard to the grandiloquent mapner in which he describes the glories of New Glasgow and its surroundings.I regret that, owing to my absence from the city, I could not bave answered his series of misrepresentations before .this; but being a reader of your valuable paper when at home, \"and kuowing your upright regard for the truth and truth only, I am induced, even at this date, to write you.I should jud ge from the eulogistic manner ia which your correspon- \u201cent depicts New Glasgow and itsenvirons, and then comes down contemptuously upon Cacouna, Tadousac, &c., only too well-known and appreciated summer resorts, and state \u2018\u2018they were all well enough in their way, and that he had tried them all and surfeited upon the deliczcies of each\u201d to try and induce pleasure seekers to abandon those renowned watering-places for a village where there is not even respectable hotel accommodation for a dozen persons, nor is there one quarter the field for sport which he describes.I can only arrive at the conclusion that his aurfeiting in the luxuries of well-known watering-places must have consisted in his revelling amidst the descriptions given from time to time in the columns of the newapaper press.As regards the wealth of the sturdy tillers of the soil, and their being wedded, and with just cause, to the hand of their adoption, I question very much if you could find ten farmers for miles around the village spoken of that are more than able to live comfortably, and who would only be too happy to get some verdant youth to purchase their estates, and release them from their endless toil and turmoil for a mere living, and permit them to remove to a more genial and better part of our fair country.There is no person, who appreciates more than I do the importance of young men coming before the public in order that they may display their descriptive \u2018powers, but I would offer your correspondent one word of advice, that if he ever desires to attain eminence in the literary world, he should x adopt a truthful foundation to build his aspiring castle upon, as I am well acquainted with the places he described and the regidents therein, and the only statement that was not ovedrawn by your correspondent was with regard to the rough cad over which the pic-nic party drove, from New Glasgow to Kilkenny, as I have been informed upon reliable authority there was not more than one-third the number present at the pic-nic that he stated.Yours, &c., A Lover or TRUTH, Montreal, August 25th, 1876.AMATEUR PERFORMANCE, On Friday evening last the Longuenil Amateur Dramatic Club gave its concluding performance for the season, The play selected was Tom Robertson\u2019s \u2018\u2018 Caste \u201d\u2014 a most pretensious piece for amateurs, Whatever misgivings might have been entertained as to the success to be fachieved the efforts of the company soon dispelled them.The performance was immensely superior to anything essayed by the Club previously, and would take rank with the est attempts on the professional stage, In the character of Hon.Geo.D\u2019Alroy, Mr, A.W.Smith distinguished himself in a remarkable degree, giving evidence of fine dramatic talent, Mr.F.Hawksley, as Eccles, displayed great natural force and superior powers as a comedian in representing the old toper.Mr.Watts, as Captain Hautree, and Mr.Foster, in the role of Sam Gerridge, were efficient representatives in their parts.The ladies eclipsed all their former efforts, and contributed not a little to the entire success of the entertainment, The audience was large and most appreciative, bestowing well-merited applause on the performance, McKee\u2019s popular and efficient band was in the orchestra, and dispensed a choice programme betweenacts, The Clubistobe congratulated on the success that has attended it throughout the season, and in an especial manner on the rare treat afforded by the last performance, which has never been excelled, even in this city, The St, Hyacinthe Relief Committee could not do better than ask the club to repeat the entertainment at the Academy of Music here for the benefit of the sufferers by the late fire.From the well-known public spirit of the members, we have no doubt they would willingly accede to such a charitable demand upon them.The performance would be equal to anything produced at the Academy before.RECENT ALLEGED SEIZURE OF GUNPOWDER, The statement made by a contemporary that a barge bad been seized with gunpowder on board seems to have arisen from the fact that Weir, one of the Appraisers of the Port, put an officer on board the American boat \u2018\u2018Dean,\u201d not becausa of any attempt to land the cargo in contravention of the law, but as the powder had been entered at a figure so low as to lead to the suspicion that it had been undervalued.The boat was duly reported at the Custom House, the cargo entered, \u2018and the duty paid.Chief Mec.Laughlin, who is Government Powder Inspector, was notified of the arrival, but the chief has no power to stop a vessel passing through the harbor on the way to her destination without instructions from the Attorney-General, whois in Quebec.As the \u2018\u2018 Dean\u2019s\u201d destination is a point west of Montreal, it is not probable that she could have been detained if her cargo was stowed and carried according to law, nor would it have been at all desirable to detain her in the immediate vicinity of the city after she had got into the canal ; so that, in allowing her to proceed on her way, the officers did what they ought to have done under the circumstances.The question remains whether vessels laden with gunpowder can be prevented from passing through the port of Montreal.The St.Lawrence being a common highway, itisevident that, unless under special legislation, a vessel loaded with gunpowder and destined for a point west of Montreal, say Kingston or Toronto, could not be prevented from passing up the river any more than a vessel destined for Montreal could be stopped at Quebec.The transportation of so dangerous an explosive, however, should be subject to special regulations, and it becomes a matter of the last importance to the safety of the community that the officers charged with carrying these regulations into effect should have power to arrest the progress of a vessel at a safe distance while they are satisfying themselves as to the commercial value of her cargo.Now that the city has been brought face to face with this new danger, means must be found to prevent any possibility of adding to a risk which would appear fo be already too great.FIREMEN\u2019S SPORTS (Continued from Saturday's Issue.)

Peruvian,\u201d from Montreal, arrived to-day.LoNDoN, September 18, A despatch from Belgrade says General Tchernayefi\u2019s army, on Saturday, proclaimed Prince Milan King of Servia.A Times\u2019 despatch says: \u201cThe Porte, upon notifying the Vienna Ambassador of the suspension of hostilities, added that orders to that effect could not be given ublicly for fear of agitation among the Mahommedans.\u201d Another despatch from Vienna to the Times explains that the compromise which was effected between the views of the Porte and the Powers, by the mediation of the British Ambassador, is as follows : The difference between the answer as first drawn upand that which has now been adopted is material, for while in the former an armistice was made directly dependent on an arrangement about the condition of peace, in the latter an armistice was promised if the Powers will only take into consideration the conditions proposed by Turkey, which, it is said, might be modified and altogether changed.There are numerous conflicting accounts of the views of the Powers in regard to the Turkish proposals, A despatch to the Times from Vienna says that among the Ambassadors at Constantinople the impression seems to be that the Turkish proposal, as it now stands, might be considered satisfactory, but the Governments, who have to decide in the last instance, have not spoken yet.The Times\u2019 Berlin despatch says the Turkish terms are disapproved, but, as the Powers failed to concert a common programme, the immediate result of the Turkish demand will be nothing worse than a continuation of the Servian war and an in- of Russian crease auxiliaries in the Servian camp.It is not apprehended that Russia will carry out her threat of direct interference as long as the Servians manage to hold Deligrade and Alexinatz, and, as the autumnal rains are commencing, the Servians are pretty safe if they can hold out a few weeks longer.\u2018What Russia might be tempted to do, were the Servians to sustain a crushing defeat before they are rescued by the weather, is a different question, LoNDoN, September 18.It is expected that the French Government will prosecute the originators of the forged Russo-Prussian treaty, which was published in the Paris France last Friday- PHILADELPHIA, Pa., September 18.All, communication with South Jersey having been impeded by the storm of yesterday, and there being rumors of great damage to property at and about Cape May, a special train was started for that point from Camden at midnight with two representatives of the Philadelphia Times.A special to that paper at 4 o'clock this morning says the train was wrecked near Camden, but the engineer was the only person injured.The road is submerged and wrecked, and the train now lies in four feet of water.The pier at Cape May was carried away.Yesterday afternoon the water was flooding the streeta.The damage done to the Exhibition buildings is very trifling, but elsewhere throughout the city houses have been un- roofed in all directions, ToroNTo, September 18, The Grand Opera House building is to be sold by auction on October 14th.As the sale is subject to Mrs.Morrison\u2019s lease, her occupation will not be affected in any way.À violent rain and wind storm set in last evening, and continued all night and well into the morning, but no damage has been reported so far, beyond the drifting and capsizing of several yachts anchored in the harbor.One boat, however, the \u201cEmma,\u201d is expected to be a wreck.GRENVILLE, September 18.A little girl was

remanded to jail, the examination being further adjourned for a few days.With reference to the order which issued to compel the Assignees to proceed with the preliminary examination, Mr, Desnoyers observed that Mr.Carter had not been prepared to go on with the case, and Mr, Carter said he was not aware that Mr.Doutre had gone out of town, hence the warraut to compel the attendance of the Assignees.sara A CASE OF CREMATION, Rumors having been in circulation for some days past that a case of malpractice had occurred on St.Lawrence Main street, and that cremation of the fœtus had taken place in a stove, Detectives Lafon and Riche took the matter in hand.After a most searching enquiry and a good deal of trouble, which their local knowledge only enabled them to overcome, they ascertained all the facts connected with the disgraceful affair.It appears that a young unmarried girl, named Gudithe Rochon, agedonly 17 years, who was living with a Mrs, Groteau, nearly opposite the old omnibus stables on Main street, had a miscarriage, She was attended by Mrs Marie Gendron, a licensed midwife, of St.Hypolite street, St.Jean Baptiste Village.For some cause, which has not been explained, the embryo was burned in the stove of Mrs.Groteau.A girl named Frederic, who now resides in a disreputable house on St.Paul street, also assisted at the girl's confinement.The place where the latter resided bears an evil reputation, and she was leading an immoral life.She has since returned to her mother, who is married to a man pamed- Francis.Gravel.The detectives are entitled to credit for unravelling a mystery that certainly bore a very suspicious appearance, Court oF AprEALs.\u2014In this court this THE MIGNONNE STREET FEVER DEN.\u2018We hope the statements of Mr, Radford, the Sanitary Inspector, are generally more reliable before the Board of Health, than those which he hasmade in regard to the fever den on Mignonne street.After the announcement in the STAR that fever and small-pox had broken out, he had the boldness, not to use astronger word, to go before the Board and flatly deny our assers tion, We took pains\u2014unfortunately for a respected member of our staff\u2014to verify the statement, which was originally made on the authority of a responsible public officer in the Court House, and gave the names and residences of a large number of ersons suffering from both diseases.hat did Mr.Radford do after this exposure of hisignorance, it may be asked?Did he come forward like a honest and honorable public servant, avow his mistake and publicly apologize before the Board for his error?tead of doing this, which we had a right to expect from his gentlemanly feeling and honorable antecedents, he evades the matter altogether and comes again to the attack, assertiug before the last meeting of the Board that none of the boards belonging to the coffins at the canal were taken to Mignonne street.He does this, although he was reported in the press as having admitted, on a former occasion, that boards were taken to the \u2018premises in question, After not only making an unfounded statement before his employees and involving a member of our staff in a long and serious illness by doing so, Mr, Radford, if he did not desire to make the amende honorable, ag far as in his power, might have held his peace and not sétempted to mislead the Board any further, © have only to say, in dismissing this subject, that the gentleman who first gave us the information, and who subsequently visited the plague spot with our reporter, isready to corroborate every word we have written upon it, FINANCIAL, STAR OFFICE, 4 p.m.September 18, 1876.The following are the quotations: Sterling Exchange 83 to 84 ; Documentary, 7% to 8; gold drafts, 3-16

HEART.A London paper of late date says :\u2014 Mr.Payne held an inquest at Gravel Lane, Houndeditch, London, on the body of Hannah Goldstein, aged 35.The evidence given showed that the husband of the deceased, being unable to earn a living for his wife and young family, left them and went to Leeds to endeavor to obtain employment, promising if he was successful to send home money to his wife.She rever heard from him, however, and had to part with her home, bit by bit, to buy the necessaries of life for herself and her little ones.She grieved much at her ill.fortune, the loss of her home, and the continued absence of her husband, and at length became alarmingly ill, and died literally of a broken heart, The medical witness said that death was caused by paralysis of the heart accelerated by apxiety, and the jury returned a verdict to that effect, SPROIAL NOTIOEHS, For Canada cholera and all summer complaints, PErry Davis\u2019 Pain Killer will be found a safe and reliable remedy.See

distance and in the darkness, and then, with a deep sigh, he slowly quitted the spot, Ere he had proceeded a dozen yards, a hand was placed somewhat vigorously upon his shoulder.He turned quickly ; the figure of a man was befare him, but in | the darkness he could distinguish nothing further, A voice he did not recognize said roughly to him\u2014 «Fellow | with what purpose are you lurking here ?\u201d Hugh flung him fiercely back.# Who are you that dare thus address me!\" he cried, angrily.\u201cThat you ghall know somewhat too soon for your satisfaction,\u201d returned his questioner, again seizing him, and, with great strength, dragging him from the thicket towards the gravel path, ¢ The lady, too,\u201d he added, \u2018 can hardly escape detection.I have marked her down.\u201d More he was unable to say, for the im- peirous hands of Hugh clutched his throat, and prevented further utterance, A desperate struggle ensued.It was so far but a wrestle.Hugh sought to release himself from the grip of him who Trad seized him, and kris captor did his best to retain his hold.In the course of the contention they emerged from the thicket into the moonlight, which fell upon the faces of both ; each was thus able to distingaish clearly the features of the other, but both were utter strangers to each other; simultaneously they detected they had not met before, Hugh Riversdale knew not that he was striving with Lester Raymond, but he was sure that he should never forget the face, the pallid face, within a foot of his own, which the grey moonlight was tinting wiih the hue of death.Nor did Lester Raymond fear he should fail to remember the features of one whom he instantly perceived was strikingly hapdsome and no common personage.He found his strength ; failing him, that Hugh wou'd succeed in releasing him- setf from his custody, and he cried for help.The next ifstant he received a tremendous blow upon the temple, and was hurled to the ground with such force a8 to compel him to remain there stunned and insensible.Hugh cast a glance upon him as he lay motionless upon the gravel path.\u201cI have seen that face in a dream,* he muttered ; ¢ mine enemy from henceforward.We have for the first time crossed each other's path\u2014we shall again.Woe to him who stumbles on it!\u201d The sounds of \"persons running along the garden walk eaught his ear at this moment, Servants, roused by the shouts of Lester Raymond, were hastening to his assistance, Hugh plunged into the thicket, vanlted over the fencing upon the edge of the ornamental waters, plunged into the winding canal, and swimming briskly buf noiselessly beneath the shadows of some trees, continued his progress until he reached a bend af the stream, and then, emerging from the water, he disappeared among the thiek cluster of trees.In the meantime, the form of Lester Raymond, lying insensible, was discovered by two or three servants, under the direction of Whelks, who, during the race from the house, was absolutely last, but who, on finding that there was no enemy to emcounter, exhibited the most reckless display of daring, and rushed to the front, Directly his eyes fell upon the prostrate form of Mr.Grahame\u2019s guest, he ex- claimed\u2014 ¢ Oh, my Evens! if it isn't the Hon- erable Mr, Lester Raymond! Grashus! Is it the wine \u2019es overcome 'im,I wonder, « No,\u201d said one of the servants, ¢ he\u2019s got a hugly bump on his forrid; a precious whack that! Somebody about here must ha\u2019 given it him,\u201d # Some owdashus thief, no doubt,\u201d suggested Whelks, with a swift glance over | his left shoulder at the clumps of trees, and a shudder which lifted his scalp, and pained bim in the heels.\u201cJackson,\u201d he added quickly to the man who had just spoken, \u2018you \u2019elp me to carry Mr.Lester Raymond\u2019s corpse\u2014If he is a corpse\u2014 into the \u2019ouse, and you, Chin,\u2019\u2019 he continued, addressing the other servant, \u201cyou dash into that clump ©\u2019 trees and \u2018unt about for the thicf.Whelks and Jackson hurried on with their burden, and Chin, declining the search proposed by Whelks, sallied out for a peliceman.By the time the house was gained by this Kittle party, Mr.Grahame had been alarmed.With his son Malcolm and the Duke of Castle-Rose he was hastening to the garden, when he encountered Whelks and Jackson, bearing the body of Lester Raymond.Almost at the same moment, the injured young man aroused from the stupor into which the blow he had re- caved had flung him, recovered his feet, and gazed round him with an astonished air.He looked into the many eager faces bent upon his own, without recognising any of them.= The Duke of Castle-Rose laid his hand upon his shoulder, and shook him, saying, at the same moment\u2014 \u201c Waymond, wecovaw youawself, my good fellow.We aw all fwiends.I'm Castle-Wose\u2014don\u2019t you know me ?\" The sound of his voice brought back the absent recollection of Lester Raymond.He put his band over his eyes, as though to collect his thoughts, and exclaimed hastily\u2014 \u201c1 remember all now\u2014all, distinctly, clearly.\u201d He looked up, and addressing Mr.Grahame, he said\u2014 My dear sir, if you will allow me to retire for a few minutes to collect myself, I will join you with the Jadies In the drawing-room, where I will relate to you the strange incident in which I bave, I believe, borne the worst part.\u201d «Bot, Mr.Raymond,\u201d responded Mr.Grahame, ¢ the attack yeu have suffered 2 \u201c Was made by no common individual, Mr.Grahame ; one who is by this time, I have no doubt, far beyond pursuit.\u201d \u201c But the object, Mr, Raymogd ?* observed Mr.Grahame, with an air of mystified wonder \u201cNot plunder nor violence,\u201d returned Lester Raymond, adding hastily\u2014\u2018¢ Pray occurred.1 beg now to be allowed\u2019 to'retire to my room.\u201d ance of an hour could hardly have raised up in his breast a wish to injure her.Yet why did he pursue the strange course of refusing to relate what had passed, un- leas he knew she could be present tc hear the recital ?She was perplexed, disconcerted, plunged into an agony of mind, as she pursued this train of reasoning, Still she saw the imperious necessity of appearing calm, collected and full of wonder, only to the extent she would have been had she had no further share in the event than her | sister Margaret.| By an effort of her will, she knew stre : could achieve this much, and she resolved to de it.As she formed the resolution the door opened, and Lester Raymond entered, - pale, 8a wound on his forehead, strapped up, but otherwise as self-possessed, and the same cold smile playing upon his lips as when first he entered the sitting-room in the earlier part of the day.A thrill of pain ran through the frame of Helen, as she felt his large, dark eye | settle upon her.| Then a sudden sense of her danger : roused her to exertion, and there was no outward sign of the conflict within.She turned her glittering eyes full upon Lester Raymond\u2019s.Met him on his own * battle-field, and drove him back, for her gaze was go firm and unalterable that he turned his eyes, after a searching glance at her, upon the ground.All crowded round him save Evangeline, who, as usual, sat quietly and unobtrusively in a retired park of the room.(Ta be continued.) AGRICULTURAL.ACTION OF LIME ON SOILS.Mr.E.H.Libby, of the Scientific Farmer, draws the following conclusions regarding the action of lime in the soil, and the best methods for applying it as a fertilizer : \u2014 \u201cSoils, rich in organic matter, even though they already contain it in considerable quantities, draimed peat swamps, stiff clays and coarse, heavy soils, and especially those destitute of it, are all benefited by an application of lime, Good results always follow its use on light soils after an incorporation of organic matter, as green manure, muck, or a thick sod or green crop ploughed under.Sterile soils are rapidly rendered more fertile by its application.Wet lands show the least effect from treatment with lime.Hence such lands must either be drained, or receive an extra amount.Clay should also have organic matter applied in connection with lime, It acte most effectually near the surface, The apparent effect is greater the second season than the first, so the most satisfactory results are obtained by sowing broadcast in the early fall, with at most only a light harrowing or brushing, It should be applied in an airslaked, fine mechanical condition.The most profitable quantity to apply depends much on the land ; wet soils, those well filled with organic matter, the clays, taking most\u2014 from tem to forty bushels being recommended, according to circumstances.RAISE MORE PARSNIPS.The value of parsnips for feeding purpose kas heretofore, by many farmers, een underestimated.By referring to Schenk\u2019s ** Gardeners\u2019 Text-Book\u201d we see it stated that the parsnip has many valuable qualities which commend it to both farmer and gardener.Hogs and bullocks are fattened upon it in a very short space of time, and the flesh is considered of superior flavor ; while in cows it aving a rich color and affording butter of excellent quality.The culture of parsnips is largely extending in France for cattle feeding, and as an ordinary garden vegetable it is also in great demand.The soil that suits beets will satisfy parsnip.\u2018When the plants are five and fifteen inches high, respectively, they are weeded and hoed.The leaves are cut in the month of September, and allowed to fade for twenty-four hours before being given to the cattle.The roots can be taken up during the winter as required ; frost does them no harm, The ration is sixteen pounds, three times a day, and the roots are cut, \u2018When given to pigs, they ought to be cooked.In the west of France the pareeip replaces the oats for horses, and, ing nutritive, all animals quickly put up flesh when fed on this root.Vick, is one of his annual catalogues, says that for feeding cattle no root is superior to the parsnip.In the Island of Guernsey a few years ago\u2014and perhaps the same state of things still exists\u2014pigs and cattle were almost or entirely fattened on this root.Wehave always thought that Canadian farmers did notrealize the value af thisroot, One great advantage in raising this root is that it can be left in the ground and dug in the spring, when needed.MANAGEMENT OF SHEEP.À correspendent gives some excellent advice in the Country Gentleman concerning the management of sheep, from which we quote the following :\u2014 The number of sheep in a summer flock, if the pasture is pot rough, thereby causing too much travel by the sheep to get their living, may be as many as the owner can oversee and care for; in the winter not more than 100 should be kept together, and a smaller flock is preferable in every respect.Sheep, if kept in large flocks, do not winter as well, besides wasting more feed in proportion.As to which breed will stand thegreatest amount of cold, probably the Vermont merinos suffer the least from cold, but any sheep, if strong and healthy, with Plenty to eat, will endure any amount of cold weather if they are only kept in a dry yard and have a dry place to eat and sleep in.Here is the great cause of failure in many cases\u2014mnddy yards and leaky I sheds, or worse, no sheds at all.The best food for sheep I ever used, all things considered, is good, bright early- cut hay, and one peck of corn and oats, mixed equal parts to 100 sheep daily.Roots may be well enough, but one season cured me of any desire to raise and feed them.The sheds for 200 ewes should eentain 2,000 square feet of flooring, and move is better ; each sheep needs at least ten feet of apace.manure pile.produces an extraordinary yield of milk, | werking fifty acres will produce and sell more than ene man on one hundred acres.Often on a farm of one hundred acres, three, four, or even five men can be profitably employed, the number depending almost wholly on ability to secure manure, It does not pay to nire labor to culivate sterile soil, or, in fact, any soil which cannot be made to produce large crops.Farmers have been limited by their inability to get manures, except as made on the farm iiself.Some of the shrewdest farmers of former years have yearly kept and fattened sheep and cattle, mainly as a means of increasing the Others have sown clover seed, and manured it with gypsum, It is not only quite recently that farmers have practically learned the advantage of commercial fertilizers, and their greatest benefit is not yet fully understood.It is not the question whether commercial fertilizers are better than barnyard manures.Concede, if you please, that they are not so goed.The fact remains that, where the farmer relies entirely on manures made in bis barnyard, he cannot, on ome hundred acres, manure more than eight or twelve at the most so as to get a paying crop.Commercial manures will enable him to fertilize double or treble that amount of land without doubling or trebling his ex- pénsges.In this way he more than doubles his profits, besides thefertiTity of his farm.What farmers need is to.extend rather than decrease their operations, using more labor and more manure, and thereby cultivating the whole rather than merely apart of their farms, Doing this they will pre.duce more cheaply, and not only have more to sell, but make a larger profit on every hushel of grain, or pound of meat, that they dispose of.\u2014Afoore\u2019s Rural New Yorker.\u2019 MEAT IN ENGLAND.3 +; is a matter of serious concern to the masses of this great city.It must more or less injuriously affect their health, strength, and comfort, and, consequently, their capacity for wark, Many thousand families are now debarred from the daily use of fresh animal food, inasmuch ag they cannot afford the outlay which the purchase thereof would entail, The question arises\u2014 Does any legitimate cause exist why meat should be practically placed beyond the reach of the people?\"We are inclined to answer in the negative.The blame, we suspect, rests with the retail dealers, who exercise a pernicious monopoly.For some time past we have witnessed an increasing importation both of \u201clive\u201d and \u201cdressed beef\u201d to this country.Cen- stant shipments of eattle ave being made from Galveston, Chicago, New York, and other ports, averaging from one hundred fo four hundred head per week.More than this, a new branch of emter- prise has been commenced in the \u2018 Commercial Metropolis\u201d of the United States, Mr.Eastman, of the Produce Exchange, havi g introduced the same.In future, the Cunard steamers are to carry fresh meat as cargo; iron compartments, each containing an air-exhausting apparatus, being fitted up for this purpose.The \u2018\u201c Abyssinia,\u201d whieh left New York on the 8th inst., had on board the carcases of one hundred and thirty head of cattl Indeed, according to trustworthy official returns, the value of beef imported into England for the first six months of 1876 exhibits an increase of £500,000 contrasted with the corresponding period of 1874, It is an anomaly, therefore, that butchers\u2019 meat should be so dear, both in London and the provinces \u2014 London Echo.THE CENTENNIAL FRUIT SHOW, A RATHEB MEAGRE DISPLAY OF APPLES, PEACHES, PEARS AND GRAPES, PrILADELPHIA, September 13.The pomological and horticultural part of the Centennial show is now open, California sends two car loads of apples, pears, peaches, grapes, figs and plums, They are all in good order, and the show is made by the California grangers at a heavy expense, a previous shipmeat having decayed on the road.The quality of the grapes and pears is excellent.California apples are second and third rate, and the peaches are not extra.All the fine sorte of grapes are shown, especially the raisin grape, which is creating a new industry.No State excels Kansas in the size and general appearance of apples, It is to be noted that, growing on young trees in a rich sail, the specimens are finer than they are likely to be hereafter, The guality of such large apples is never high, Nebraska has a fine show of really good apples, and of pears and grapes.Iowa also has a large show of a great many varieties.Not many years ago it was thought extremely doubtful whether fruit could be grown in the prairie States, for the trees ied year after year, or blew over in high wind ; but, after weeding out tender sorts and giving better culture, success has been achieved.The best general crop of apples grown this year in the United States is on prairies between 39 and 40 degrees of latitude.Wisconsin shows nice apples and fair grapes.Ten years ago, grapes would not ripen in this State 3 now, in many places, they great profit.The most interesting and instructive display of apples is from Minnesota, embracing sixty varieties, though only a few are to commended.À new sort, known as the \u2018\u2018 Wealthy,\u201d is exhibited, which is said to have as high quality as the Baldwin, while the tree is more hardy than any other known variety.The fruit is of good size, and of high color.The process of overcoming the many difficulties presented to fruit growers, where the winters are so cold as in Minnesota, is to grow first from the seed, then, from year to year, to select the hardiest, and then to select the quality.The success attending this method has, during the last twenty years, had a remarkably favorable result all through the north-west.Ohio has a good exhibit of pears, apples, and grapes and other fruit.The Ohio Horticultural Society makes a highly creditable display.Several new grapes are shown.which are likely to develop merit.A cross between the Comcord and Delaware gives a grape smaller than the Concord, and of the same color, and of a character inferior to the Delaware.Unless everything is arranged for the mbs, it is best to have them come about the time grass grows ; but to do this, a asture must be had convenient to the arp, as they should be guarded nights quently through the day.The best rack I ever saw was simply 6- | inch boards nailed to posts like a common board fence, 8 inches apart, three baards in height, with perpendicular slats 4 inches vod 0.12 inches, anart : rack 13 inches Mr, Grahame bowed, and directed Whelks to show Mr.Raymond to his chamber, while he, with the duke and Malcolm, his son, took their way to the draw- Ing-room, talking over the mysterious event, The ladies had entered the room a moment before them, and they heard from the gentlemen, with astonishment, that the Honorable Lester Raymond, walking in the garden, had been suddenly attacked and felled to the earth by some unknown assailant, Not the least astounded present was Helen Grahame, The blood rushed from her heart to her brain ; she felt as though a thousand bells were clanging in her ears Then the life- Stream swept back to her heart, leaving her as cold as death\u2014and as colorless, Hugh Riversdale and Lester Raymond had encountered each other.What had passed ?Her first impulse was to dart out of the room\u2014the house, and flee anywhere anywhere L .¢ next, to remain where she face all that might be bronght forward te crush her for ever, and deny every charge firmly, steadfastly ; even to deny Hugh Riversdale, if in custody he were brought forward to confront her Oh! that she could only know what had actually occurred, s0 that she might be prepared to enact the part it would be best for her to play.hy did Lester Raymond refuse to ex- pa what pad, happened, when he first recovered, in Mr.Grahame\u2019s presence Why did he defer it until a]l wore prim bled in the drawing-room ?his was remarkable, and much dis.er.Yet he could surely enter- of the party Lambs ought to be weaned when from 16 to 18 weeks old, in order that the ewes | may get in good condition for winter.For a beginner it is best to avoid ex- ! tremes ;

that of apples is not large.New Jarsey has a few individual exhibits which are scattered here and there.A new raspberry is presented as being hardier than any other.It looks like the Philadelphia.Massachusetts presents 300 varieties of pears, probably the best in quality of all m the Exhibition.The attention paid to ; pear culture in this State, especially in the viciniéy of Boston, has produced many sorts much superior to the Bartlett, It is likely that the soil isfavorable.Connecti- ihe \u201cx Afotaho LÉcTSAREPS, @eples: bis has a first-rate show of pears.From New York Elewsnger & Barry present a full variety of all kinds of apples and pears.Michigan has the best show of winter apples, as it well may, for it has the most extensive apple orchards in the world, though western New York might dispute with her, ; Decidedly the best show, taking into .consideration variety, quality, number, and ' taste, is from Ontario, Canada.The region where the fruit exhibited is grown is along the northern shore of Lake Ontario, Niagara river, and of Lake Erie; and receiving the influence of the southwestern winds from over those waters, it has a \u2018*water climate \u201d peculiarly frvorable to fruit._ From this brief review it will be seen that only a small part of the States are represented ab this great Centennial show.f there were not heavy duplicates of varieties the exhibition would be extremel ÿ meagre, even-for a State fair.Perhaps there was not sufficient advertising to the 7 ; or, perhaps° the deficiency arises from.the fast that none of the promologists of the country appear among tho managers.\u2014N.Y.Sun, Now that the exportation of American meats appears to be successfully established, London prices will begin to be of greater interest to our readers.The Pall Mall Gazette of that city gives the following as the mean prices of each kind of live meat per pound, sinking the offal, for the last three years at the Metropolitan cattle market:\u2014 1873.1874, 1875, Beef.817.95 8 346 7144 : 81158 Fa138 renee \"811 ¥ i Lamb,.11% - 5 10:29 32 108 These prices are in Enplish pence, and a renny may be taken ag about equal to two cents of our money, The exorbitant price of butchers\u2019 meat | Royal for a term not exceeding thirty days.are grown at | THH MONTREAL EVENING STAR FACTS WORTH KNOWING.See that every letter, newspaper, or packet is securely folded and sealed, for every sush packet has to be several times handled, and in the mail-bag is exposed to compression and friction.Carofully secure every letter containing money or valuables, first with gum or mucilage and then with wax, and be sure fo leave a good impression of a seal.Never seal with wax letters for the East and West Indies, and other hot climates, ag the wax melts and letters adhere to one grother.The practice gives rise to serious inconvenience and injury._, When letters are delayed of missing, com- mrunicate immediately with thie Inspector of the Division in which the Post Office is situated.In case of a missing letter state the exact contents, address, the office at which the letter was posted, the name of the person by whom posted and the name of the person by whom received at the office.In case of a delayed letter or paper, send the envelope or cover in an.entire state to the Inspector, go that the place of delay may be ascertained by an examination of the post marks.In the event of & supposed abstraction of money or value from a letter, send the letter and cover to the Inspector for the Division in which is situated the office at which the letter was delivered, stating day and hour on which delivered, name.of Postmaster or Clerk \u2018by whom delivered, and persons by whom re- oeived._\u2014 Whosoever, being bailee of any chatile, money, er valuable security, fraudulently takes and converts the same to his own use, or to that of any other person not the owner, although he do not break bulk, or otherwise determine the bailment, is guilty of larceny, and may be eonvicted upon am indictment This section does not extend to any offence punishable on summary conviction.| The Ledges of the Orange Order in Montreal \"are as follews : The Hobah BlackP receptory;
