Eight young ladies from this School passed the Local Examination of the University of King’s College in June last. This is the only School in Canada that has passed pupils at a University Examination.

The number of pupils is limited, rendering the School select, and while it possesses all the educational advantages of a large public school, each pupil is enabled to receive that individual care and oversight which isso important, and which cannot be given ina large establish-

Constitutional Gatarrh- Remedy

- CURES CATAERRH,

Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Remedy.

Dear Str—It is now two years since your “Censtitutional Catarrh Kemedv’ was intro- duced to me. I have waited this ong to see if the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy effects seemed to me to be “‘too good to be true.”

I was afflicted 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 had become very disagreeable, and a choking seusation often preventing me from lying long, I would feel like smothering and be compelled to sit upin the bed, My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertownin August, 1576; [ secured three bottles. Before I had used a quacter 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 clear 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,

Sleep for Business Men.

Many of us heard pretty often as boys,that Dean Swift never knew a man arrive at eminence in life who rose at a late hour in the morning. There is force in the spirit of the implied injunction here if’ net in its letter. We judge, however, that Dr. Robert Collyer, the excellent pastor of the ehurch of the Massiah, is more in agree- ment on this momenteus point with Sansho Panza than with the lover of Stella or Vanessa.

Dr. Collyer, as we infer from his sermon, the text of which was from John xi., 12— ‘if he sleep he shall do well’—finds that most people in this busy city of ours give too much time to activity and too little to repose. He finds that there is toe much anxiety, an excess of feverish rushing about, and too little serenity and self-pos- session in daily life. He has probably ob- served that the insurance companies exact higher premiums for policies on the lives of persons engaged in certain peculiar wearing and exciting vocations—-such, for example, as some of those connected with Wall street ; self the stamp in face and nervous system which comes of being overworked and always in a hurry. He therefore offered for the consideration of his fleck the example, both in precept and practice, of those whom he called ‘* the old men of the Bible,” Jacob and Abra- , Daniel and Saul, and denionstrated what importance was attached by these patriarchs to sleep, and how repeatedly they enjoinel upon their people to give it preper attertion. Dr, Collyer blames these clergyn.en, as teachers of the people, who set an wiwholesome pattern by worry and overwork to theiy flock. ‘‘No good man,” said he, ‘‘will try to save his soul at the cost of so badgering his body.” We may say, too, that no wise man will try to make his fortune at the cost of so badger- ing his body. People who do this thing, as the preacher well declares, ‘‘beat back the. mercies_that cowe to their ‘saving, through sleep; they use eyes, nerves and brain with a savage energy against which there is no defeuce, they eat up principal and interest together, and so live on until the team actualiy breaks down.” Then when the physician comes in he pronounces the case to be one of nervous prostration, ‘‘Hecalls it a sickness,* proceeds the rey- erend dector, ‘‘but Ged calls it a sin.”

American adults, ina gtowing degree in ureat cities, are forming the bad habit of turning night inte dey and so depriving themselves of a needful recuperation, and indeed subtracting from life mere than half its sweetness. Of what -benefit are the riches of Croesus if health has fled forever in acquiring them? People have been too much praised for bsing wide awake and too little praised for being asleep. The com- munity requires a little salutary lethargy. Land soon runs out that is not permitted sometimes to lie fallow, and this is as true ef both the human body and the human mind. It will be well for a space to put aside plausible but expleded axioms about early werms, and to accept rather asa guid- ing maxim the comfortable theory ef Don Quixote’s philosophic squire. ‘* Blessed,” says Sancho Panza, ‘‘ be the man who first invented sleep ;” and blessed, says Dr. Col- lyer, were the patriarehs who beth preach- ed and practised it.—N. Y. Post.

The following is given by Hhitaker’s Al- menac, as the extent and population of the British Empire at the beginning of 1830 :— :

Area in Population Sq. miles. Great Britain & Ireland” 121,115 33,500,000

The same authority says :—‘‘ This table short as it is, presents a result unpara- lelled in this world’s history. The British Empire is grander than those of Greece or Rome, or any other country, and it may be safely asserted that its rule is more beneficient. Whereverjthe\flag of England floats there is freedom,justuce 1simpartialiy adiministered, and no man can be punished except for infringements of the law. Re- ligion also is free. With all its anomalies the British Empire, under its present Sovereign, presents the nearest appreach to 'a true Commonwealth that the world has | yet seen.”

Summerside Notes.

(From the Summerside Journal.)

VAaTER FOR THE Jart.—Mr. Mr. C. 0. Jones, of the tubular well and pump noto- riety, recently bored for water a few feet outside of the jail fence. _ At a depth of twenty-one feet he struck a vein of good spring water, which raised to within ten feet of the surface. The water is convey- ed to the jail yard, some fifteen feet, ‘threngh iron pipes, which are laid about ‘four feet below the surface. The Govern- \ment have expressed itself as being highl ‘pleased with Mr. Jones well, andthe Jat ‘is now supplied with good spring water.

The times are quite as duil in Charlotte- town as they are in Summerside. Where- ever you go in Charlottetown you hear the remark ‘the times are dull.” The only signs of reviving prosperity is the fact that Walsh & Owen are buying oats at thirty cents per bushel. Of course, the firm must have a fair prospect oi realizing, at least, a small profit atthis price. Although all for-

ign quotations at present are too low to seem to justify such a price here.

There is a good deal of talk about the winter route. The ‘‘ Northern Light,” which got fast in the ice at Cariboo, last week, succeeded in getting clear on Friday ast. She has made a trip between Pictou and Geergetown on Saturday, and will, most likely, make another trip on Monday. The passengers who came over in the ‘‘ Northern Light’ on Saturday, among whom wasa captain and three or four sail- ors from Summerside, spoke highly of the capabilities of the boat, and of the efii- ciency of her crew. We have heard sailors of experience whe crossed in the ** Nor- thern Light,” from Pictou to Georgetown on Saturday last, say that the boat is quite able to run pretty regularly on that route all winter. It is to be heped that a fair trial of the boat’s capabilities as a winter beat will be made this winter. If steam- boat communication between the Island and the mainland is at all practicable in winter, the sooner the fact is ascertained

the better.

GENERAL COUNT PAUL IGNATIEFF,

General Count Paul Ignatieff, President of the Ministerial Committee and member of the Council-of State, father of General Ignatieff, isdead. This celebrated Russian diplomatist did not belong to the circle of Gortschakoff, Dolgerouku and Gagaren, men whose birth marked their future faith. He sprang from the race of petty nobles in Cussia which is as numerous as the sand of the sea. Yet hedid not lack friends at court. In 1821, when Nicholas ascended the throne to the expulsion of his brother Constantine, who was very popular, a mill- tary conspiracy was formed, in which hun- dreds of officers and students joined. Among the officers was a captain of infan- try, Paul Ignatieff, on whom the success of the conspiracy depended. He was to give the signal of insurrection. But instead of doirg so he declared for Nicholas. The Czar never forgot his services, and while the conspirators were sent to Siberia in groups, Capt. Ignatieff was loaded with favors. He received the title of Count, and an estate, and in a very short time be- came a General. The Czar stood as god- father to his son Nicholas, the future Diploma tiat, and brought up the boy at the Im#erial expense. Paul Ignatieff,the father, was advanced in the service of the State, and was made Adjutant General and Governor-General of St. Petersburgh. During the reign of Alexander he enjoyed many similar distinctions, and he died full of years and full of honors.

Terrizte CaLamiry IN New Yore.— A fire occurred at New York on the morn- ing of the 5th, in the basement of Turn- er’s Hall, Hast Fourth Street. The hall is occupied by Wm. Meikle, as a ball-room building. The stock owned by Turner's Society was damaged $12,000. After the fire Wm. Gieb, 10 years, Louis Schmidt, 30, Henry Geheociler, 25, and Teresa Erhard, 25, were found on the floor dead. Winkle and his wife were badly burned and sent to the hospital. Annie Bauer re- ceived internal injvries by jumping from the fourth storey and was badly burned. An unknown woman had both her legs broken by jumping from the top floor.

An old and much respected gentleman, named McKay, who lived about seven miles north of Dublin, Ont., in the township of McKillop, was burned to death on the 3rd inst. The other members of the honsehold were away from home, the old gentleman being left in charge of the place. During the day he went to the barn to attend to some cattle ; when he came back the house was in fiames, and it is supposed he entered to remove some valuables, and being rhen- matical and rather helpless was unable to return, and perished in the flames.

It is said that a bank in Montreal, which has been twice very near incolvency, gave a certificate to a firm of contractors for a section in British Columbia, to the amount off $214,000. The contractors sold their privilege to a Californian firm for $100,000. Each of the contractors received about $3,- 000, and the cashier of the bank pocketed $20,000. As the whole transaction was consummated without the knowledge of the Board of Directors, the cashier wus sus- pended. A Parliamentary enquiry will be } demanded.
