ing our numerous customers for the iiberal manner in which they have patron ized

OUR NEW STUDIO,

we would inform them that we have now iacreased facilities for the production of first-class work, and are prepared to make Puorograpus ofa Slyle and Quality thai has never been before allempled in this Cily.

We have on exhibdition, at our Rooms, a large number of Photograps «f every variety, including the

BSAVNFUL Pd)T)- SNAMaL

he most beautiful style of Photograph known, possessing a sofiness and delicacy of coloring that has never been equalled. This elegant picture has become deservedly popu ar elsewhere, and cannot fail to be- ceme so here.

Though the finish of our Photographs cannot be excelled, we would direct alter- tion to the beautiful

{stlace Pictures which we make. They possess a highly enamelled surface, and are practically indes- tructible, and will retain their freshness and beauty for any length of time. I[f they become soiled they can easily be cleaned, as they will not lose any of their beauty by being wet. ‘This valuable quatity, com- bined with their remarkable elegance, make them very suitable for presents; while the difficulty of their production will prevent them ever becoming so common as to lessen their value. Our patrons cav have one or all of their Photos finished in this style—an advantage which cannot be ebiain d elsewhere.

We give special attention to making Groups of Fam lies, Societies, Schools, &c

Our pictures of children are sufficient evidence of our success in this difficult branch of our art. ~

Our *NLARGEMENTS, finished in India Ink, Pastel, Creyon, Oil and Water Colors, have made a favorable reputation for them selves throughout the Lower Provinces.

Parties intending to have Photographs made will find it to their advantage to sit early, as the number of our Cu>tome:rs| makes some delay iv the delivery of the] Photos unavoidable. We prefer to have our silters come by appointment,

Photographs can be obtained for less mouey elsewhere ; but in this case we ask that quality be given the preference; as- suring tne public that they will fad our eharges very moderate.

Yorging a Marriage License.

A TRICK UPON A FATHER-IN-LAW.

Napaneg, Feb. 2.—In the early part of last year, J. E. Knight, aged about twenty years,

sonef Dr, Knight, of Tamworth, and in the

large amount of ecclesiastical business trans- |

on ted. fastorily terminated.

The in reference to the eraliy, the only organ it recognizes is the Presbyterian Record, published in Montreal. A hearty and unanimous ‘call from the con- gregation of Cavendish and New Glasgow to the Rev. W. P. Archibald was laid on the table and unanimously sustained, and the Clerk instructed to send it to Mr. Archi- bald as soon as possible, with the hope that he may accept. Reports were received from the congregation of Dundas in reference to financial matters : that these were assum- ing a satisfactory aspect and that arrange- ments had been made fora supply of preach- ing until next meeting of Presbytery. Sup- ply of preaching was arranged for Belfast, Tryen and Bonshaw, Cavendish and New Glasgow and Dundas until the end of April. The Rev. Samuel Gunn_ reported that his congregation had, during the last year, built him a commodious and comfortable Manse, in which he has now been living for the last three months, and that the whole cost of it was nearly all paid, and_ that in addi- tion the congregation had contributed liber- ally to the schemes of the Church. It was reported from the congregation of West Cape and Campbeilton that it is diligently engaged in Church building, and adopting satisfactory ways and means to pay off tlie Church debt. The praiseworthy efforts of the congregation were highly commended. Other matters of detail and minor import- ance were transacted. The Presbytery ac- corded a cordial vote of thanks to the pastor and members of St. David’s Church for the handsome manner in which all its members were entertained while here. The Presby- tery then adjourned, to meet in Char- lottetown on the first Wednesday of May 11 a.m. Concluded with the Benediction.— Advertiser. ‘cuca Ben BUTLer AND THE Fiswery Awarp. —The New York Sun says: “ Ben Butler’s speech in Massachusetts last summer, ad- vocatiug the seizure of the fishery grounds, and indirectly advocating the repudiation of the fishery award, has caused an uneasy feeling among Canadians. The British Le- gation having been advised that Butler con- templeted stroducing a resolution in the FLouse repudiating the sward, Lord Dufferin came on to Washington, and on Friday, to- gether with Sir Edward Thornton, had an interview with the President and Mr. Evarts. Lord Dufferin represented that England, being loaded down with the Hast- ern troubles, was especially anxious to secure friendly assurances from this coun- try of raising no question over reciprocity matters. Piesident Hayes and Mr. Evarts assurred Lord Dufferin they would do all in their power to maintain cordial Trela- tions.”

THERE can be no doubt that Mr. Mac- kenzie is terribly anxions over his fate in the House of Commons. This is seen in the fact that he has addressed a circular letter to his supporters requesting them to be on hand on the opening day of the ses- sion. This is never done in England unless there is ‘‘ urgent business.” Some person think that the reason why Mr. Mackenzie has called together his supporters is to de- cide about the Speakership. But the most generally received idea is that he has called them together to consult over the dissolu- tion. The governing party hope to pull through the session and then go to the country, spTinging the election upon us again just as they did Mr. Vail’s and Mr. Jones’s elections. We advise the Opposi- tion to be ‘‘ready, aye ready.”— Hr. Reporter.

A Very Sap Casz.—To-day the Secre- tary of the 8. P. C. A. was called upon to visit a stable owned by one of the truck- men of Halifax, where he found a horse in a starving’ condition, and discovered that just previous to his visit the carcase of a horse that died on Wednesday last from starvation had been removed. The starv- ing horse was taken to another stable, and its owner brought before the Stipendiary Magistrate, who remanded the case till Friday ; meanwhile the truckman will re- main gaol. It appears that the man whose animal thus suffered from his neglect, is one of tke best truckmen in Halifax, and always in request when free from the in- fluence of liquor; but ever since election day he has been drinking, to the neglect of his horse and the deep sorrow of his inter- esting family—a wife and five or six little ones. — Hux. Reporter.

A Dytnc Wire's Apvice.—A Philadelphia clergyman mourns the loss of a wife among a thousand for common sense. On her death bed she said to him: ‘* Don’t grow morbid when I am gone. Go into Society, be cheerful and let no regard for my memory check you when you see fit to marry again. It is my wish ; the children must be cared for; you will need a helper in your work. You cannot live alone, your temperment is all against it ; only choose a cheerful woman, and teach her to love our children. Don’t answer me, and don’t be governed by what the world says or thinks.”

employ of Mr. James Aylswerth, wooed and wou tne affections o: Miss Ida Lamphier, for- The objection

structed the smooth flow of the current of love; but Mr. Knight bode his time and proved himself equal to the occassion. Mr. Ayls- worth isan issuer of marriage licences, and Mr, Knight took the liberty, on the 24th July last, of opening a drawer in which the blank forms were kept, took out a blank and filled it out in due form, inserting his own name and that of Miss Lamphier, and signing Mr. Ayls- worth’s name te it. Two days after the pair proceeded to the residence of Rev. D. F. Bo- gert, near Selby, when the forged licence was produced, and appeared regular, the reverend gentleman had no hesitasion in making the pair one. ‘They were married in the presence of Mrs. Bogert, and Wm McCollum, a carpentar of Napanee, as witnesses. The wedding was kept a secret for obvious reasons, till a few days ago, when Mr. Aylsworth having got a hint of the marriage, and having his suspicions aroused, mace on investigation. On searchin the drawer referred to, he found that one o the blanks was missing. Last Sunday, Keight upon being pressed for an explanation, confess- ed that he had abstracted the blank and forged it as detailed above, and that he had put two dollars, the usual fee, in the till of the shop, Mr, Aylsworth came to Napanee and laid in- formation before Chas. James against the un- fortunate young man for having feloniously forged a marriage licence. Young Knight had a hearing before Messrs. Charles James and W, Caton and was committed for trial. Bail was accepted, himself in $1,000 and two sureties of $500 each. Young Knight has been in the employ of Mr. Aylsworth for five years and was of unblemished character and had the full confidence of his employer. A deed like this is unique in the annals of crime, and the penalty is very heavy, being imprisonment in the penitentiary for a period of from two ‘eo seven years.

A Courageous Lad.

That was a brave lad who found himself suddenly adrift in a dilapidated schooner off Atlantic City, Penn., the other day. He was a little fellow, but when he saw the surf boat which had put out to his assistance turn back to shore, the cruel crew probably concludi that it wasn’t worth while to make much an effort for only a boy, and when he fully re- alized the peril of his position, he didn’t drop down an sob, he didn’t despair, nor did ye lose his head. But he set resolutely to work and prepared his crazy craft as best he could for the struggle with the waves. ‘The first night out,” he says in his homely narrative, “a heavy sea broke over the vessel and rolled me over the wheel. The rigging and deck were covered with ice, and it was with difiicuity I kept myself from freezing.” The next day he thought he was near the Gulf Stream. ‘‘There was a foot and a half of water in the hold and a heavy sea rolling. The pumps gave out, and I was forced to bale her out with a bucket.” At about 10 o'clock the mext night he was hailed by a barque, which cleared the schoon- er by about ten feet. But the barque sailed away, though the little fellow promptly h out a signal light; and his struggle continu The next morning the plucky lad sighted land near Beach Haven. ‘‘After beating about all day,” he says, ‘‘I headed up abreast Absecon light. The sea was very rough, and, failing to bring the vessel into the inlet, and as the water.was up to the cabin floor, I beached her on Little Brigantine Shoals, where I was taken off, after having been without sleep for four days and three nights.” That lad has the stuff in him out of which successful men are made, and we comment his story to grown as well as yeung folks, and particulary to those who in time of peril cast themselves down, moan and pray for help, while they do nothing themselves, ant quiekly despair.

A curious experiment has been tried with buttermilk by testing it against claret. One who is in the secret will assert that one who is not, if bindfolded, cannot distinguish claret from buttermilk by the taste. Several glasses are filled with claret and an equal number with buttermilk, and they-are handed alter. nately to the blindfolded persons, who tastes them. Fora time he will name the fluids cor- rectly, but after a time his sense of taste be- comes blunted, and he will insist that butter. milk is claret and vice versa.

About two weeks ago Mrs. Wm. Stroud, 7th concession of Deerham, vomited a live fish over two and one-half inches long. Last August, after taking a drink of wate:, Mrs, Stroud told her husband that she thought she had swallowed something in the water. Since that time she had been constantly ailing, and her illness terminated in the strange way above described. The fish lived for twenty- fours in the water, and then Mr. Stroud killed it.

There are 61 lodges with a membership of 8658 and 25 encampments of Odd Fellows with a membership of 2500 in Maine. The total amount paid in the city of Portland for relief by the Society in 1877 was $15,874.
