Was received intelligence yesterday to the etfect that a syndicate of Canadian capitalists have obtained a controlling interest in the Short Line company, and will assume the liabilities, We sincerely trust this may turn out all right, and that the new company means business.

Many people believe that kerosene will ex- plode. This is alla mistake. The danger is not in the oil, but in the gas it generates. When a can or lamp is left about half full of oil evaporation will fill the upper part of the lamp or can with a very explosive gas. If this yas is disturbed and driven out, and a blaze reaches it, there will be a terrible ex- | plosion. It is not necessary that the blaze should touch the oil, Paste this on the kit- chen door.
Some weeks ago a society for mutual im- provement was started in Springton, Lot 67. M. Lamont, Eeq., is President and D. A. Nicholson, ‘Secretary. Debates are held every alternate week, and the promoters cal- culate on having a course of lectures during winter. Meetings are held in the schoolhouse and the society is orderly and well conducted. Springton has also a first-class school, at present taught by Mr. John Nicholson, who is a hard working, conscientious teacher, as shown by the excellent condition of his school.

Tne French Vice-Consul at Montreal, Mr. Perrault, states that he has recently been in receipt of a number of letters from France requesting conecripts to join their regiments. These requests are forwarded to all consuls, and if a conseript or soldier, after being notified, faila to respond he is regarded as a deserter and is liable to arrest. Mr. Per- rault fiads that a number who have cettled down here and are prospering iecline emphatically to go _soldiering again. The want of troops. for Tonquin, it is thought has brought matters to the pass. This despatch would indicate a considerable ewigration from France to Canada during the past few years and that the immigrants gener- ally are in a prosperous condition.

Tu Judge of Probate has been engaged since Wednesday last hearing evidence in the eatate of the late Samuel E Dawson, The deceased who was the late proprietor of the Tryon Woollen Factory, died in Colorado, having previously made his will there, by which he bequeathed many thousand dollars in legacies, besides ten thousand dollars to his widow, The balance of his estate was be- gueathed to the Methodist Charch of Canada tor religious purposes, The execators now
une into court showing @ balance after pay- ment of all the legacies, except the one to the church, in their hands of between eight and ten thousand dollars, and asking that their accounts be passed aod themselves discharged, bat the widow of the deceased opposes this mu the ground that, as the Testator died in Colorado, his estate should be administered there according to the lews of that State, nm in which case she would not be beand by the will, but would take a large share in addition to the legacy specifically bequeathed to her. The Methodist Charch have also stepped in, and claim that although the testa- tor died in Colorado his domicil> was on thig (sland, that he was ouly in Colotade for the ssnetitef his bealth, and therefore the iawe of this Leland should prevail and the wili stand. (be real point, then, before His Lordship is ; where was the testator domiciled atthe time i his decease? The case will likely last over ior some time. Mr. E. J. Hodgson, Q. ©

Shutting Out the Pure Air.
(‘‘ Chips” in the Montreal Gazette.)
Last winter numbers of gentlemen from the States, after a fruitless search for rooms suitable for their accommodation, said to me: ‘‘Mr. Chips, what makes all the houses smell so?’ ‘* Smell so,” I replied, ‘* because they never open the doors and windows in the winter here, and allow tke cool pure air of their healthy climate to blow through the rooms and chambers as every housekeeper further south does ; but as soot, as winter comes on they put up their double windows aud doors and bat- ten up every crack and crevice until their houses are like hermetically sealed jars, and so they remain all winter, every ete ‘tight as a jug’ as the saying is— that’s why they smell so.” If you wish to escape fevers and diphtheria aod a dozen other infectious diseases, ventilate your houses wore and breathe less fou! and more sweet, cool, pure air by night as well as by day—that's our view of it,

A Correction.
Sir,—I observe an error in the report, which appeared yesterday in both Tue | Examinek and Patriot, of the Oddfellows’ | Dinner on the previous night, wherein it | states that to the toast of ‘Sister Societies” | response was made for the Orange Associa- | fiop. L beg to say, as Chairman on that occasian, that the toast of the Orangs| Order was neither proposed nor responded | to, but possibly your reporter misunder. | stood a jocular allusion thereto by one of | the gentlemen present. | may say further) that Oddfellowship, under its constitution, | does not look upon the Orange Order as a} Sister Society.
