The St. John Sun reports: A live Osprey, on board the schooner Arcilla, lying at the North Market wharf, attract- ed considerable attention yesterday afternoon. \s the schooner was passing Mount Desert rock, last Monday evening, the bird flew on board and perched himself on the formost head. The steward; who was sitting aft near the wheel, determined to capture it. The captain advised him to let the bird alone, as the well knowa ferocity of its species is well calculated to keep intruders ata distance. However, the steward had cap- tured one before, but not without a pain- ful experience, which he thought could be turned to good account in this instance When darkness settled down, he climbed the fore rigging and caught his prey nodding. Grabbing the bird firmly by the two legs he brought him safely to the deck, where he clipped his wings. While this operation was being performed, the mate came too close to the bird’s talons and had his thumb split up by a well di- rected blow. The body of the bird is not much larger than a fair sized game cock, but the wings, when spread, measured 4 feet from tip to tip. The feet are supplied with three ring-shaped talons about three inches long, the inside of them being as sharp asa knife. The beak is very much crooked, the upper portion protruding be-

_ yond the lower. The eyes are of a bright

yellow hue are sharply used by their owner, not the slightest movement of anything passed his notice undetected. The body is heavily protected by a beau- tiful coat of feathers, resembling in ap- pearance those of a spruce purtridge. The Osprey is said by old sailors to be the swiftest bird that flies.

A Lost Treasure Ship.

An attempt is now being made to re- cover the treasure Jost in the British war ship Hussar which sunk during the war of the Revolution in the East River, New York. The Hussar had about_ $5,000,- 000 in gold or bond, being money which was intended for the payment of the troops. Several previous attempts have been made to recover this money. In 1794 the British government seat two brigs to look for the Hussar’s gold. One of these foundered where the frigate had gone down, and now lies a short distance from the Hussar in the East River. The other was ordered off by the Federal au- therities. In 1819 acompany was form- ed for the purpose of seeking the gold, but it met with no appreciable or encour- aging results. A good many years past before another effort was made, but dur- ing the twenty-eight years previous to 1876 not a season was allowed to pass witkout an effort to secure the gold. Once as much as $50,000 was spent in con— structing a coffer dam, but it was swept away by the tide. During the last thirty years the work has been under the direc- tion of Mr. Horace Barnes as the lead- ing spirit of the New England Submarine Company and of its successor, the Frigate Hussar Company. Many divers have been employed. Ton after ton of the ship’s material has been lifted, among other relics a bronze gun, for which the British Museum gave $1,500. It only remains to find the gold. Mr. Barnes believes in the possibility of finding it as thoroughly as when he began his work thirty years ago, but very few people are sanguine enough to share his faith.

On Friday, July 25, tour Bishops were consecrated in St. Paul’s Cathedral, Lon- don. The Archbishop of Canterbury laid hands successively on Dr. How, Dr. Bar- clay, Dr. Speechly, and Dr. Ridley, who rose as Bishops of Bedford, Jerusalem, Cohin, and New Caledonia, representing the four quarters of the globe.

The Bishop of Oxford, in calling upon the clergy of his diocese to offer up prays ers for fine weather, writes ; ‘ Preachers may do well to point out that our in— creased ability to prognosticate the weatlier has not given us the slightest power to control it, and in this time of general depression to ask whether the sea- son of marvelous prosperity which pre- ceded it was thankfully received or pro- fitably spent.

can now be purchased right at home, it is the most suecessful preparations ever introduced to our people. it works like a charm in all cases of Consumption, Pnouemonia, Hemorr- hages, Asthma, severe Coughs, Croup and all other Throat and Lung Diseases. No person has ever used this medicine without getting immediate relief, yet there are a great many poor, suffering, skeptical persons going about our streets with a suspicious cough, and the voice of consumption coming from their lungs, that will not try it. If you die, it is your own fault, as you can go to your druggist and get a sample bottle and tryit; three doses will relieve any case. Regular size only 75 cts.

Constitutional Catarrh Remedy CURES CATARRH.

Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Ren.edy.

T. J. B. Harpine, Esq., Broékville, Ont.:— Deak Srr—It is now two years since your “Constitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced tome. Ihave waited this ong to see if the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy eflects seemed to me to be ‘‘too good ot true,”

1 was afilicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular I saw my case described in many par ticulars. The inward ‘‘drop” from the head

sensation often preventing me from lying long, I would feel like smothering and be compelled to sit upin the bed. My health and spirits were seriousiy affected. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third, I quit taking it, feeling quite cured of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some for a cold in my head, A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper Yours truly,

W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister. Port Elgin, Ont., Aug. 24, 1878. Ask for Littlefield’s Constitutional Catarrh Remedy and take no other.
