188 oo-dleLa-w They are to me, indeed, a souroe of real gratification, but I could scarcely fairly hope to have received them.The daily practice of my profession made such exacting calls upon all my time that I was unable to devote myself to the general interests of the bar, as many of you now before me have done and are doing\u2014a\u2019nd as I often keenly felt it was my duty to do.For this, in so far as my new position may leave me any opportunity, I will endeavour to make amends.Gentlemen, in your words of encomium on my past career, I seem to hear from yon what you expect of me in the fatnre, and when I reflect on the record of those who have preceded me on thie bench and of those with whom I now share it, my heart often sinks within me, and I say to myself how can I hope not to grievously disappoint you.I can only make a resolve to do my utmost to follow in their footsteps.TOurs is an ancient city, with a glorious history, and not the least of those things of which it may be proud are the eminence and absolute integrity of the men who have sat as judges within its walls.May I never cause my friends and fellow-citizens to regret that 1 have been called to be one of them.My confreres, my intercourse with you as friendly competitors, oonrteous and fair opponents, has oome to an end, and none of our contests leave in my heart a single hard feeling towards any one of you.I leave yon able to say to each of you, \u201cmy friend\u201d and earnestly hope such you will continue to be.Congratulatory Address.We, the undersigned passengers, for several days snow-bound between River da Loup and Campbellton, hereby record oor high appreciation of the services of oar train conductor, Couturier, whose efforts were unwearying, first, to remove the obstraotion off the road, next, to make passengers as comfortable as the circumstances would permit.It is not enough to say that Mr.Couturier did his full duty, for his service was limited only by his physical power of eudurauce.which we sincerely trust has not been unduly taxed.Tnerefore, we desire not only to thank him for such services, but to express our admiration of him as an efficient officer, as well as a kindly man.We hope that he may remain as many years npon the road as he shall desire, also, that similar blockades in his future experience may be few and far between.Those of us who were passengers by a previous train, cancelled at Ste.Flavie, desire heartily to expresssimilar sentiments towards Conductor McKenna, of that train ; and all are glad to say that the oondnet of the general staff of tha two trains was worthy of great praise.\u2014James Fogo, Judge of Probate Court of Pictou, N.S.; Thomas Ridout, Ottawa ; Charles Gyde, Montreal ; A.B.Black, Amherst ; T.B.Coombs, Toronto ; Luc

November 27th, 1884.\t| December l 1884 London, April 1.\u2014The Pall Mail Gazette states Russia\u2019s answer to England's proposals on the Afghan question amounts to a cordial acceptance of the proposals made by Lord Granville.The Pall Mali Gazette cays :\u2014Russia consents to accept aa debatable territory the zone laid oat as snob by Eugland, and accepts the principle that the frontier line shall not be drawn furtber south than Karezelias and Chamenibeids, and farther north than Sher tepe and Sariyaze.This leaves as the ily point still to be discussed the Russien suggestion that it would be more practical if the zone of survey overlapped a thoroughly defined zone of debatable land, in order to allow for topographical and ethnographioal conditions.It is not not expected that this suggested extension of the zone of survey, as it would carry the zone to the south of the boundary line ran by the Russian Commissioners, may prove serious enough to cause farther difficulty.The Government baa engaged a-fiozen of tha finest available steamers for aix months.It is reported the military council at St Petersbargh advised the Government against undertaking war until the railway
