I\u2019m mighty nigh outdone.She\u2019s thes bin a-gwine on that a-way all the time, an\u2019 I bin that tickled tell a little more an\u2019 I'd a drapped on the groun\u2019.How\u2019s all ?\u201d \u201cMy goodness!\u201d exclaimed Mrs.Poteet \u201c I Dope you all know me too well to be a-stan\u2019in\u2019 out there makiu\u2019 excuse.Come right along in, an\u2019 take off your things, and ketch your wind\u2019.Sis is home today.\u201d \u201c Well, I\u2019m monstus glad,\u201d said Mrs.Hightower.\u201c Sis useter think the world an\u2019 all er me when she was a slip of a gal, but I reckon she\u2019s took on town ways, haint she ?Hit aint nothin\u2019 but natchul.\u201d \u201c $is is proud enough for to hold her head high,\u201d Mrs.Parmalee explained, \u201c hut she haint a bit stuck up.\u201d \u201c Well, I let you know,\u201d exclaimed Mrs.Hightower, untying her bonnett and taking off her shawl, \u201c I let you know, here\u2019s what would\u2019t be sot back by nothin\u2019 if she had Sis's chances.In about the las\u2019 word pore maw spoke on \u2019er dying bed, she called me to \u2019er an\u2019 sez se\u2019 she, \u2018 Purithy Emma,\u2019 se\u2019 she, \u2018you, hoi\u2019 your head high ;

\u201c yit that chile\u2019s temper is powerful tryin\u2019, an\u2019Teague ackshully an' candidly b\u2019leeves she's made out\u2019n pyo\u2019 gol\u2019.* I wish I may die if he don\u2019t.\u201d After awhile Sis made her appearance, buoyant and blooming.Her eyes sparkled, her cheeks glowed, and her smiles showed beautiful teeth\u2014a most uncommon sight in the mountain, where the girls were in the habit of rubbing snuff or smoking.The visiters greeted her with the effusive constraint snd awkwardness that made so large a part of their lives, but after awhile, Mrs.Hightower laid her fat, motherly hand on the girl's shoulder, and looked kindly hut keenly into her eyes.\u201cAh, honey!\u201d she said, \u201cyou haint sp\u2019ilt yit, hut you want made to fit thish here hill\u2014that you wa\u2019nt, that you wa\u2019nt !\u201d Women are not hypocrites.Their little thrills and nerve convulsions are genuine while they last.Fortunately for the women themselves, they do not last,but are succeeded by others of various moods, tenses, and genders.These nerve-convulsions are so genuine and so apt, that they are known as intuitions, and under this name they have achieved importance.Mrs.Hightower, with all tier lack of experience, was capable of feeling that Sis Poteet needed the by-no-meatis insubstantial encouragement that lies in one little note of sympathy, and she was not at all astonished when Sis reponded to her intention by giving her a smart little hug.Presently Mrs.Parmalee, who had stationed herself near the door, lifted her thin right arm and let it fall upon her lap.\u201cWell, sir I\u201d she exclaimed, \u201c ef yan-der aint Sis\u2019s bo !\u201d She ran to the door, saw Woodward coming up the road,and blushed furiously\u2014a leat which Mrs.Hightower and Mrs.Parmalee, with all their experience, had rarely seen performed in that region.Woodward greeted Mrs.Poteet\u2019s visitors with a gentle deference aud an easy courtesy that attracted their favor in spite of themselves.Classing him with the \u201c Restercrats,\u201d these women took keen and suspicious note of every word he uttered, and eveiy movement lie made, holding themselves in readiness to become mortally offended at a curl of the lip or the lifting of an eyebrow ; but he was equal to the occasion.He humored their whims and eccentricities to the utmost, and he was so thoroughly sympathetic, so genial, so sunny, and so handsome withal, that he stirred most powerfully the maternal instincts of these weather-beaten bosoms aud made them his friends and defenders.He told them wonderful stories of life in the great world that lay far beyond Hog Mountain its spurs and its foot-hills.He lighted their pipes, and even filled them out of his own tobacco-pouch, a proceeding which caused Mrs.Parmalee to remark that she \u2018would like mannyfac* mighty well ef t\u2019wer\u2019nt so mighty weak.\u201d Mrs.Hightower found early opportunity to deliver her verdict in 8is\u2019s ear whereupon the latter gave her a little hug, and whispered : \u201c Uli, I just think he's adorable !\u201d It was very queer, however, that as soon as sis was left to entertain Mr.Woodward (the women making an excuse of helping Puss about dinner), she lost her blushing enthusiasm and became quite cold and reserved The truth is, Sis had convinced herself some days before that she had the right to be very angry with this young man, and she began her quarrel, as lovely woman generally does, by assuming an air of tremendous unconcern.Her disinterestedness was really provoking \u201c How did you like Sue Fraley\u2019s new bonnet last Sunday ?\u201d she asked, with an innocent smile.\u201c Sue Fraley\u2019s new bonnet!\u201d exclaimed Woodward, surprised in the midst of some serious reflection ; \u201c why, I didn\u2019t know she had a new bonnet.\u201d \u201c Oh, you didn\u2019t ?You were right opposite.I should think anybody could see she had a new bonnett by the way she tossed her head.\u201d \u201c Well, I didn\u2019t notice it, for one.Was it one of these sky-scrapers ?I was looking at somebody else.\u201d \u201c Oh !\u201d Woodward had intended to convey a very delicately veiled compliment, but this young woman\u2019s tone rather embarrassed him.He saw in a moment that she was beyond the reach of the playful and ingenious banter which he had contrived to make the basis of their relations.\u201c Yes,\u201d he said, \u201c I was looking at something else.I had other things to think about.\u201d \u201c Well, she did have a new bonnet, with yellow ribbons.She looked handsome.I hear she\u2019s going to get married soon.\u201d \u201c I\u2019m glad to hear it.She's none too young,\u201d said Woodward.At another time, Sis would have laughed at the suggestion implied in this remark, but now she only tapped the floor gently with her foot, and locked serious.\u201c I hope you answered her note,\u201d she said presently.\u201cWhat note?\u201d he a ked, with some astonishment.She saw the picture of innocence.\u201c Oh, I didn't think!\u201d she exclaimed.\u201c I reckon it\u2019s a great secret.I mean the note she handed you when she came out of church.It\u2019s none of my business.\u201d \u201c Nor of mine, either,\" said Woodward, with a relieved air.\u201c The note was tor Tip Watson.\u201d This statement, which Was not only plausible hut true, gave a new direction to Sis\u2019s anger.\u201c Well, I don\u2019t see how anybody that thinks anything of himself could be a mail-carrier for Sue Fraley,\u201d she exclaimed, scornfully ; whereupon she flounced out, leaving Woodward in a state of bewilderment.He had not made love to the girl, principally because her moods were elusive and her methods unique.She was dangerously like other women of his acquaintance, and dangerously unlike them.The principal of the academy in Gulluttsville\u2014a scholarly old gentleman from Middle Georgia, who had been driven to teaching by dire necessity\u2014 had once loftily informed Woodward that Miss Poteet was superior to her books, and the young man had verified the statement to his own discomfiture.She possessed that feminine gift which is of more importance to a woman in this world than scholarly acquirements .\u2014aptitude.Even her frankness\u2014perfectly discreet\u2014charmed and puzzled Woodward ; but the most attractive of her traits were such as mark the difference between the bird that sings in the tree, and the bird that sings in the cage\u2014 delightful but indescribable.When Sis Poteet began to question him about Sue Fraley, he thought that she was moved by jealousy gave him a thrill that was new to his experience ; but when she flounced angrily out of the room because he had confessed to carrying a note trom Miss Fraley to Tip Watson, it occurred to him that he might be mistaken.Indeed, so cunning does masculine cupidity become when it is played upon by a woman that he frightened himvelf with the suggestion that perhaps, after all, this perfectly original young lady was in love with Tip Watson.During the rest of the day Woodward had ample time to nurse and develop his new theory, and the more he thought it over, the more plausible it seemed to be.It was a great blow to his vanity ; but the more uncomfortable it made him, the more earnestly he clung to it.Without appearing to avoid him, Sis managed to make the presence of Mrs.Parmalee and Mrs.Hightower an ezeuse for neglecting him.She entertained these worthy ladies with such eager hospitality that when they aroused themselves to the necessity of going home, they found, to their dismay, that it would he impossible, in the language of Mrs.Poteet, to \u201c git half-way acrost the Pallium's Summit \u2019fore night \u2019ud ketch em.\u201d She was so delighted, apparently, that she became almost hilarious ; and her gayety affected all around her except Woodward, who barely managed to conceal his disgust.After supper, however, Mrs.Poteet aud her two guests betook themselves to the kitchen, where they rubbed snuff and smoked their pipes, and gossiped, and related reminiscences of that good time which, with old people, is always in the past.Thus Woodward had ample opportunity to talk with Sis.He endeavored, by the exercise of every art of conversation and manner of which he was master, to place their relations upon the old familiar footing, but he failed most signally.He found it impossible to fathom the gentle dignity with which he was constantly repulsed.In the midst of his perplexity, which would have been either pathetic or ridiculous if it had not been so artfully concealed, he managed for the first time to measure the depth of Ids love for this exasperating hut charming creature whom he had been patronizing.She was no longer amusing ; aud Woodward, with the savage inconsistency of a man moved by a genuine passion, felt a tragic desire to humble himself before her.\u201cI\u2019m going home to-morrow, Miss Sis,\" he said, finally, in sheer desperation.\u201c Well, you\u2019ve had a heap of fun\u2014I mean,\u201d she added, \u201c that you have had a nice time.\u201d \u201c I have been a fool 1\u201d he exclaimed, bitterly.Seeing that she made no response, he continued ; \u201c I've been a terrible fool rigid through.I came here to hunt up blockade whiskey-¦\u201d \u201c What !\" Sis\u2019s voice was sharp and eager, full of doubt, surprise, and constei-nution.( To be continued.) Absent-Minded Mr.Bowles.Bowles was in the habit of daily riding through a country turnpike gate, and one day he presented as usual his two-pence to the gate-keeper.\u201cWhat is that for, sit ?\u201d he asked.\u201c For my horse, of course.\u201d \u201c But, sir, you have no horse.\u201d \u201c Dear me !\u201d exclaimed the astonished poet, \u201cam I walking?\u201d Mrs.Moore told me that anecdote.She also told me that howles on one occasion gave her a Bible as a birthday present.She asked him to write her name in it.He did so, inscribing the sacred volume to her as a gift \u201c From the Author.\u201d A Sensible French Workingman.M.Joftrin, the Ultra-Radical representative of the working-classes in the Municipal Council of Paris, showed sound common sense in declining the challenge sent him by M.Crié, a writer on the staff of the Citoyen et Bataille, whom he had offended.\u201c This idiot,\u201d writes M.Joftrin, to the Prolétaire, \u201cought to have understood that workingmen do not waste their youth in taking lessons of fencing-masters, aud that to fight a duel with a workingman weuld be to play the part of an assassin.\" Furthermore, he says that the party to which he belongs, opposed as it is to conventionalities of every sort, has forbidden its members to sacrifice to the most absurd of them all\u2014the duel.He concludes with a formidable threat.\u201c I hope,\u201d he says, one day to show the weight ot a working mechanic\u2019s fist, even though a municipal councillor, on the nose of an imbecile bourgeois.\u2014St.James Gazette.The Clean Newspaper.There is a growing feeling, in healthy communities, against journals which make it their special object to minister to a perverted taste by seeking out and serving in a seductive form disgusting and licentious révélations.There is a good reason to believe that the clean newspaper is more highly prized to-day than it was four or five years ago.It is also safe to predict that, as people in all ranks of life who protect their own, at least from contamination, become more conscious of the pernicious influence of a certain class of journals, called enterprising because they are ambitious to serve up dirty scandals, they will be careful to see that the journals they permit to be read in the tamily circle are the class that never forget the proprieties ot life.Already men and women of refinement and healthy morals have had their attention called to the pernicious influence of had literature, and have made commendable efforts to counteract the same by causing sound liteiature to be published and sold at popular prices, These efforts are working a silent but sure revolution.The best authors are more generally read to-day than at any previous date.The sickly sentimental story paper, and the wild ranger and pirate story books, are slowly but surely yielding the field to worthier claimants, To the praise of the decent newspaper, it may be said that where it has a place in the family, and has been read for years by young as well as old, it has de veloped such a healthy tone and such a discriminating taste, that the life nature of the slums has no admirers.Fortnn ately, the number of such families is in creasing in the land, and they increase the journal that devotes itself to sicken ing revelation of immorality will be com pelled to find its supporters solely among those classes who practice vice and crime, or are ambitions to learn to follow such ways.\u2014Selected.Looking two Ways.It was a regular northeaster and snowing last.\u201c Fine snow storm, driver,\u201d said a fat man as he deftly swung himself to the fi-ont platform of a s owly moving Third Avenue horse car, pulled up his ulster collar, pulled down his sealskin cap, and faced the storm with the enjoyment known only to fat men well clad.The driver was tired and cold and cross.\u201cFine snow storm,\u201d repeated rue fat man cheerfully.\u201c Regular old fashioned snow storm.Makes one think of old times.\u201d \u201c You may call it fine.I call it all-fired unpleasant,\u201d said the driver, yanking at the reins as the near horse slipped ym the snowy-cobble stones.\u201c Fine fur \u201cthem as likes it, and hain\u2019t got nuthin\u2019 to do but t\u2019 enjoy it.S\u2019pose ye ask them bosses their o-pinion ov yer fine storm.They seem to be enjoyin' uv it, don\u2019t they ?\u201d \u201c It is hard on the animals, that\u2019s a fact,\u201d said the fat man, his cheerful face lengthening as he watched the steaming horses strain at the load.\u201c 1 was thinking of the country.Such a snow storm in the country is a fine thing, now isn\u2019t it?\u201d \u201cYou ain\u2019t no hay seed,\u201d said the driver, looking at.the fat man.But I used to be.Happiest time of my life ;

art.Surrounded as such a one is by unheautiful things, his nature cannot expand much without some such aid.In his everyday walk his attention is so continuously absorbed by the busy outside aspect of a life which is too often common and mean that this influence, if unchecked, must needs grow into him, and his nature by long association is gradually brought into harmony with it.But until quite deadened, like a famished man for food his nature longs for Some sustenance more suitable to it.The voice of nature is heard t n an ardent longing for something better than is supplied ; and if the soul is to live, this longing must he gratified.Eor just as.the body is nourished by material food, so is the soul nourished by ideas ; and if these ideas are of common quality or scantly supplied, the soul they feed must waste away.In art, we have the means of awakening the mind of the dullest, and supplying it with a stimulating food\u2019 As the wearied one, walking the streets of a great city, chances to gaze into the wondrous depths and distances of an engraving in some shop window, or drinks in the color of a painting\u2014color which seems to sink into the soul like perfume from a flower\u2014his mind gathers nourishment and its faculties are expanded and strengthened.As he leaves the picture he drinks in beauty from many an object where its presence was not before suspected.His mind learns to seek out nourishment and to find it in all things\u2014from the lowly flower to the bit of blue sky, the scudding fleece, or it may bo the lead-colored cloud seen above the house tops of the crowded city.In Sherbrooke, fortunately, we see more of the light-flooded and the star-strewn heavens than this.The rush of life is not so great that our whole attention is absorbed by what is passing around us.But even hero the mind shares the common lot of growing indifferent to the wonders around and above us.Some of us have lost the faculty of perceiving these beauties : others again have never acquired it.To awaken both to a sense of beauty, which in other words is a sense of good\u2014for the beautiful includes in it the good \u2014is the noble aim proposed by some gentlemen of taste and discernment among us.Thanks to them, Sherbrooke is not entirely without intellectual resources.By their liberal aid an excellent reading room and the nucleus of a free public library is already established among us, and now a beginning is made to what we hope may prove to he a permanent Art Loan Exhibition.In a window of the reading room there has been exhibited during late weeks a selection of works of art, which must have pleased many a passer by aa it has us.Though wo confess a strong preferance over all artistic work for the effects produced by the broken line of tho etcher, we always turn with pleasure from a fine specimen of the art, and a proof before letters, \u201c A Moonlight Scene in Venice,\u2019 \u2019 by David Law, a London artist, now on view in the window, to contemplate tho color in a very good reproduction of one of Bicr-stadts paintings that faces it.These two are worthily accompanied by an excellent line engraving and a large mezzotint.It is intended, we believe, to replace these shortly by another selection, which will include a water color by Edson, loaned by Mr.E.D.Morkill, Jr., an etching (proof before letters) by C.A.Platt, a fine photography of a Madonna by Carlo Dolce, a reproduction in color of Perugino\u2019s fresco, \u201c The Transfiguration,\u201d and a largo proof engraving of Doié\u2019s picture, Tho Early Christian Martyrs,\u201d loaned by Mr.E.N.Hall, M.P.This exhibition is a most praiseworthy experiment.Though it is proposed to change the exhibit every one, two, or three weeks, Sherbrooke doubtless possesses abundant material in the homes of its citizens to carry it on for a long time with credit.And what is of far greater consequence, this will bo done with profit inestimable to the multitude who will view the exhibits : and we hope, therefore, that the excellent and considerate example of tho present exhibitors will he followed by all others in tho city who may possess any treasure of art whose inspection would yield pleasure or profit to their less fortunate co-citizens.dents are engaged in studying professionally a delicate subject, we cannot expect a party of young women, in the presence of men, to listen with equanimity to talk of this nature.No similar objection, however, applies to the sex of the lecturer.It has been found that where women are admitted to medical study male professors are preferred to female, for the reason,doubtless,that they are more competent.At all events they are generally chosen in preference to women, just as in ladies seminaries male teachers of music and drawing are preferred to female.And the professors themselves seem to have no objection to lecture to classes of young women.Doctors have more delicate duties than that to perform.\"But in fact female medical students will have at present no choice in the matter.Even if wanted, female professors could not he had.No material for such professors can yet be found in Canada.It would take at least some years to get the students passed through the College of Physicians and Surgeons, in order to qualify them to practice, or, of course, to lecture.But even when medical education is sufficiently diffused among them to ensure a supply of the professional chairs it is doubtful whether it will not he better still to retain male professors.In the Toronto scheme the projector of tho college (Mrs.Trout) proposed that a majority of the.chairs should always be filled with women, so soon as a sufficient number could be found competent ; but the faculty objected to supply the chairs in tho meantime, alleging that were women to ho afterwards appointed, an impression would get abroad that tho education afforded must he inferior to that of colleges conducted wholly by gentlemen of experience and training.And this seems likely enough.Mrs.Trout\u2019s scheme has been therefore dropped, or suspended, and the faculty are taking steps to establish a college on their own responsibility.employment of women as secretaries and amanuenses is rapidly gaining ground.This is work where steadiness, accuracy and application is needed, and it is found that in many respects a well trained young woman is more reliable than a young man.And if she should afterwards get married the mental training she has undergone will beconm of .>st use to her in after life.Ij^his view the acquiring of the art or stenography is one well worthy the attention of young women.Their quick intellects and deft fingers will generally render Jts acquirement very easy, and the art once thoroughly learned, while the employment it offers is very suitable to their nature, the salaries earned are better and the work is far less fatiguing than teaching.or From Roswell

is gradually drying up.The shrinkage has been going on for many centuries, and was perhaps one of the chief causes that impelled our Aryan fathers to over-run Europe some four thousand years ago.For the drying up of the sea, by decreasing the rainfall, turned the surrounding country into a desert ; and the Aryan shepherds were compelled to seek elsewhere the pasturage needed for their flocks.Before that time tho Caspian Sea covered a vast tract in tho heart of Central Asia, while another great inland sea existed in the heart of Africa, and it is a curious circumstance that after forty centuries it should be proposed by descendents of the men who were then driven from their home by the drying-up of one of these seas, in some measure to replace both.In Africa the French propose to flood tho great Sahara, which was left a desert by the drying up of the great sea that formerly flowed through the heart of the \u2019African continent, and although it is not proposed to replace the lost portion of the Caspian wo learn from a correspondent of the limes that a scheme is afoot to connect the Mediterranean with the Eed Sea by a channel through Palestine, \u201c It is proposed,\u201d says tho correspondent, \u201c to make a canal 25 miles in length, from Haifa, in tho Bay of Acre, through the plain of Asdraelon to the Valley of the Eiver Jordan.This canal is to bo 100 ft.wide and 40 ft.deep.This will bring the Mediterranean into the heart of Palestine.In order that the waters of the Dead Sea may be made to mingle with those of the Eed Sea it is proposed to cut a canal 20 miles in length from the head of the Gulf of Akahah to the Dead Sea.If these things were successfully performed, it is expected that an inland sea about 200 miles long, varying in width from three to ten miles, and deep enough to float vessels of the largest size, would extend from the Mediterranean to the Eed Sea.\u201d This would replace a sea that once flowed in that district, of which the Dead Sea is the last remaining trace.It would involve the flooding of 300 square miles of Palestine and would convert Jerusalem into aseaport and the Jordan into a canal for British steamers, but the correspondent points out a prophecy of Ezekiel which may reconcile devout men and women to the change if they recognize it as a fulfilment of the prediction that the sea shall come into the desert \u201c and it shall come to pass that the fishers shall stand upon it from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim.\u201d Merchants\u2019 Bank of Canada.ANNUAL MEETING.The annual meeting of the above institution was held on Wednesday, the President, Mr.Andrew Allan, in the chair.The Chairman submitted the annual report (a -synopsis of which we gave in a former issue) showing the profits of the year to have been $897.113.Of this sum $399 966 has been distributed in dividends, $65,000 carried to Contigent account, and $400,000 to Rest.After a short discussion the report was adopted.Mr.Hague then proceeded to make some remarks on the business of the year, stating that it had been an anxious one for the roost part j the evil that has afflicted our community so seriously in former years, viz , the giving and taking of unreasonable amounts of credit, has again broaen out ; and it has brought with it, in many quarters, its usual accompaniment of commercial trouble.He deprecated the long credit system and at the same time thought that bankers were often to blame for being good natured and yielding to importunity.He also deprecated the custom of keeping two or three bank accounts, and said that only the strongest firms could afford to run the risk of it.He spoke of the danger of over-trading and over-produc tion.Speaking ot an insolvency law he said\u2014\u201c Fortunately we have not had to do with many eases of insolvency of late.But my deliberate conviction is we should have had many more in Canada if traders had had it in their power to procure, by force of law, a discharge of their debts without paying them.There are many and weighty reasons why a law for the equal distribution of insolvent estates is desirable, but a law which gives to any person whatever a discharge without paying his debts is to the last degree undesirable.\u201d \u201c The construction of the Pacific Railway was referred to as of the highest value to every interest in Canada, but especially to the North-West.It is a matter of pride to us, as Canadians, that we are doing so much out of our own resources.It presses rather heavily, it is true, at present.It is making money tight ; hut it vyill all be well in the end.Meantime this bank has helped the work on in its initial stages, and in doing this, we have realized a pleasant little sum for ourselves.\u201d It is gratifying to know that the Sherbrooke branch of the bank is meeting with very encouraging success\u2014a result indeed which may be expected from the liberal and wise management that char, acterises (he bank throughout, and of which the shareholders at the meeting fittingly marked their appreciation, by the customary votes of thanks to all concerned, and by unanimously re-electing the entire board of directors to serve tor the ensuing year.Legal Intelligence.BEFORE MR.JUSTICE PLÀMONDON.June, 16th, 1883.Williams vs Nicholas.\u2014The defentant Nicholas is a trader at the village of Sawyerville, and on the night of the 17th May, 1882, his store was broken into and a quantity of goods stolen.He oftured a reward of $100 for information leading to the conviction of the thief.Wm.B.Williams, the plaintiff, a few days afterwards, got on the track of the thief,and gave information to the defendant, who, however, neglected to prosecute and caused the offer of reward to be torn down.The plaintiff then informed the High Constable who caused the arrest ot the guilty paity and he was convicted before the District Magistrate.The plaintiff thereopon sued for the reward, and the defendant contested the action.The legal question involved in the case was whether an action would lie to recover a reward offered for the conviction of a criminal.The Court was with the Plaintiff on this point and held that such an action was legal.The plaintiff was also entitled to succeed on all the other questions raised by the pleadings, and judgment went, therefore, in his favor, condemning the defendant to pay the amount sued for with costs.Camirand & Hurd, Attorneys for Plaintiff; J.W.Merry, Attorney for Defendant.Ross et al vs Doak\u2014Judgment fur

outfit, consisting of a horse, waggon, harness, etc., seized as belonging to Mrs.Fred.Hall, for rent due the plaintiffs, on premises leased the defendants at the village of Lennoxville.The principal question in the case was whether the plaintiff had any lien on these effects for rent, admitting them to belong to Opposants, It was denied in the pleadings that Opposants did own this prop erty\u2014but the evidence was against the plaintiffs on this point.It was established, also, that the defendant Hall was away from home the greater part of the time with these articles\u2014which were only transiently on the premises leased.Under these circumstances the Court considered that there was no lien for rent and the opposition was therefore maintained with costs.Camirand & Hurd,

THE HIGHER EDUCATION OF WOMEN.The students of McGill College have nobly endeavored to reverse the veto attempted to he put by the students of Kingston on the admission of women into our colleges.At a late meeting held by the undergraduates of McGill it was resolved, with but one dissentient voice, \u201c That this Society will hail with satisfaction any steps that the authorities of the University may take, tending to the admission of women to the privileges of the University.\u201d At a subsequent meeting of the Governors, the subject was taken up, hut although the general opinion of the board was strongly in favor of admitting women to the University, action was postponed till the return of Dr.Dawson from Europe, where he is about to proceed for a vacation, and where he will enquire into the working of tho co-education of the sexes in those British and Foreign universities where it is in use.This movement, taken in connection with an attempt that has lately been made to establish a medical college for women in Toronto, seems to presage the early admission of women to our universities, either as co-students with men\u2014or in independent classes.We cannot but think the latter plan would be preferable.In medical studies it cannot he desirable that young women should study in the same class rooms with men.A medical lecturer has to deal with many a subject of a nature that renders it quite'nnfit to he discussed in a mixed company of men and women.And though the stu- It is encouraging to see woman making a path for herself,first in this direction and then in that, through the thicket that has hitherto hemmed her in on all sides.Elevated above man as she already is in the higher spiritual nature, when she comes to take a more active share in the business of life her nature will become enlarged ; and without losing her moral superiority she will acquire by the wider scope of operations gradually opening to her a greater breadth of faculty, which must exercise a powerful influence in forming the future typo of man.Great men c annot well spring from frivolity.When woman shall take her due part in the life of the world, she may become the mother of a race of heroes.Only through its women can the world he raised above the degrading pursuits in which it now wastes its time.There is really no reason why every woman should not learn a profession, or business of sonle kind, before marriage just as a man does She would be lifted immediately out of the condition of a domestic servant\u2014a position which will some day he filled only by such women as are unfit for any thing better : just as a man who has not learnt a trade or profession now finds his level in the condition of a servant to laborers.There would be far fewer foolish marriages ; and many a young woman, fit to be the mother of heroes, but now lost to the world and condemned to pass her life in domestic drudgery fit only for a born drudge, would then he able to take her due rank, according to her capacity.And the world would he by so much tho bettor.The opening of our universities to women will further this very much.And already, in many ways, some approach to it may be attained.The Terrible Disaster.Two Hundred And Two Children Sue focated.London, June 18.\u2014A terrible calamity, involving the deaths of 202 children, occurred in the town of Sunderland, in the Comity of Durham, this evening.From details thus far received, it appears an entertainment had beeen given in Victoria Hall, by a conjuror, which was attended almost altogether by children, several thousand being in attendance, The accident occurred at the close of the performance.The body of the Hall had been entirely cleared of its occupants when some 1,200 little ones came crushing down stairs from the gallery.At the top of the first flight of stairs there was a door which opened only 20 inches and thus but one child was permitted to pass through at a time.At this point a white mass of children were pushing forward, some ot them fell and were unable to rise owing to the others crowding on.The result was a great number were pushed down, trampled on and suffocated.The scene was terrible and no effort could stop the mad rush of affrighted children.They came on pell mell, though, strangely, without much shouting, and soon two hundred and two of them wes knocked down and suffocated to death by the others trampling upon them.The greatest number ot the bodies, which were badly mangled from trampling, laid seven or eight deep.Many victims and others who were not killed, had their clothing torn from their bodies, and this, together with the bleeding bodies of the unfortunates shows the terrible nature of the struggle.The ages of the children known to have been killed, ranged from 4 to 14 years.The excitement in the town when the news of the disaster spread was terrible.Great crowds of people rushed to the scene, until at least 20,000 persons surrounded the Hall.The feeling was so intense that the authorities ordered out the 68th Infantry to preserve order.The work of getting out the bodies of the victims was begun immediately.They were laid out in the hall, and the parents of those killed were admitted for the purpose of identifying the bodies of their children.The most heart rending scenes transpired while the work of identification was in progress.Mothers of the dead children constantly uttered shrieks, and many ot them fainted on discovering their little ones.More Lawyers !\u2014There are twenty applicants for admission to study, aud twenty-five for admission to practice, at the bar examination of the Province of Quebec, which will take place on the 11th of July next.Montreal contributes nine of the applicants for admission and eight for practice.POLITICAL.A rumor is current that Mr.Nantel, M.P.P., will be given a place by the Goberr.ment and that tire Hon.Mr.Mousseau will present himself in Terrebonne] where he expects opposition.A Political \u201cJoke.\u201d\u2014L'Evénement of Quebec contains the following, uuder the heading \u201cFashionable Marriage\u201d : \u201cYesterday, at Ste.Rose, by \u201cGrand Vicaire\u201d Trudel, took place the marriage of Mr.Beaubien and Mr.Mercier.Witnesses, Messrs, Leflamme, Bellerose.&c.The happy peir left left on their wedding tour for Ste.Dorotbee.Our best wishes follow them.ONTARIO PRESS ASSOCIATION.Their meeting will be held at the St.Lawrence Hall, Montreal, on the 7th of August, and next day the trip will continue to Quebec, where the members are to be the guests of the city and of the Press Association.Next day they proceed to the Saguenay, returning a few days later.A Dalhottsie, N.B., despatch says :\u2014 The salmon net fishing, so far this season, is on the whole fair, and the fish are very large.Some of the fishermen have done extraordinarily well.Rod fishing thus far is better than for years past in the rivers falling in the Bay des Chaleurs, and fish along the Gaspe coast are abundant.Mr.Gladstone is said to be showing unmistakable symptoms of breaking down, and it is asserted that should the radical measures proposed by the advanced section of the Cabinot be carried, he will retire from public life.SHERBROOKE TURF CLUB.Summer Meeting'.SATURDAY â JUNE 30 and JULY 2, \u2014AT THE\u2014 HARKNESS PARK, SHERBROOKE, P.Q.$1,275 IN PRIZES!

and he called upon the Rev.Mr.Cattanacb, whom he had learned to love as a son, to say a few words.The Rev.Mr.Cattanacb, who was also much affected by the solemnity of the occasion, said lie had always looked upon Dr.Duff as a father.He had learned not only to love but to trust him, and had on many occasions gone to him for advice and counsel, feeling that whatever he asked Dr.Duff would not send him away empty handed.Mr.Cattanacb gave a most eloquent and interesting address which we regret to say want of space prevents our reproducing, and he concluded by wishing Dr.Duff God Speed and many years of health to continue the work he does so well.Mr.A.Baton made a few practical and very appropriate remarks.He was inclined to look on the bright side of the matter.He thought it was not entirely sad.Dr.Duff, he hoped, would profit physically by again breathing his native air and treading bis native heather.He hoped he would receive a right royal welcome from his relatives and friends in the old country, and he was sure if he ever returned among us he would be greeted with a right royal welcome from us also.The Rev.Mr.Campbell did not, however, feel glad to be piesent.A feeling of sadness came over him when be thought of losing Dr.Duff, for he had always found him a faithful friend, and he would not say farewell but good bye.We may not meet again here, but we hope to do so in the hereafter.The business of the evening being concluded, an abundance of refreshment, provided by the ladies, was served, and a very cordial and warm hearted gathering was brought to a close with music, and, by special desire of Dr.Duff, to whom it was a reminiscence of his wedding day, the singing by the assemblage of the second Paraphrase.31 cur\tAcUicvÜsemenïs \tWANTED, ACOOK.\tApr!y to MRS.A.G.LOMAS, 2w43\tBelvidere Street.FOR SALE, A SUPERIOR MILCH COW giving 18 quarts a day and milks well through the winter.G years old ;
