A Siseutar Deatu.—A_ short time ago a little girl at Specht’s Cove, Digby Co., died very suddenly. As the cause of death was unknown a post mortem examination was made and resulted in it being discovered that the girl had swallowed a small bean which stuck in her throat witheut forming an im- pediment serious enough to be mach incon- venience, but the warmth of the girl's blood had caused the seed to burst and sprout,

rentually resulting in her death.— Yarmouth 4 1mnea..

Hap Herbert Eaton, who paid $1,000 for the privilege of killing a fellow-man, only committed his crime in New Jersey instead of in Main he would have, probably, saved one- half of his fine. At least that is the inference to be drawn from the following despatch of the 18th, from Woodbury, New Jersey: In the Gloucester County Court, to-day Rudolph Hein, convicted yesterday of manslaughter for killing his wife in a quarrel over a game of croquet, was sentenced by Judge Parker to a simple tine ot $500 and pay the costs of court.

Churchill, frem Baltimore for Plymouta, with a cargo of coal, and brigt. ‘‘Sappho,” (of Halifax), from Dem- erara for Boston with a eargo of sugar, collided off- West Chop, night of Dec. 16, during snowy weather. The “F. Vangilder’” lost j:bboom, also head gear, catbead and fouled anchors, causing her to go ashore on the West Chop in a dangerous position. The steamtng “Storm King’ hauled her off and took her to safe anchorage for $250. She leaks 500 strokes perhour. The “Sappho” had mainsail badly torn,

Tue toboggan slide at Victoria Park is completed. it is situated on the south side of the Park facing the harbor. In dimensions it is one hundred feet long, ten feet wide, and twenty-three feet high. The descent 1s towards the river, and the wood slide ter- minates on a down grade which runa to the breastwork. This grade added makes the slide altogether three hundred feet in length. When the ice forms around the breastwork, it is intended to extend the slide over it, and still add largely to its length. The slide was built by Mr. Samuel Lowe, of this city, on whom it reflects credit as a substantial piece of workmanship.

Curistmas at Fort Aveustus.—Christmas was celebrated at Fort Angustus with becom- ing joy and splendour. _ The young ladies and gentlemen of the parish took a pardon- le in vieing with each other in decor-

ble pri eat and ornamenting the beautiful new chapel. The midnight divine service was

grand aod impressive, and the sermon which followed was one of the most logical and eloquent ever delivered ia Fort Augustus. Father Allan seemed in his best humor, and music and oratory delighted his hearers, The choir too, was in first-rate con- dition, and did their part well. Mr. Allan James McDonald presided at the organ. The interior of the church was well lighted with aset of new lamps tastefully trimmed, in addition to an immense number of candles arranged in regular and pleasing order. Im- mediately outside the sanctuary was erected a well proportioned and neatly finished arch decorated with evergreens and rosettes in artistic style. To the left of the main aisle and besides the arch rose 4 stately Christmas tree adorned with flowers, bunt- ing and lights. Although small it was a real little beauty. The trimming, embellishing and complete arrangement of the whole

Not one sermon in a thousand would be injured by considerable shortening. The length of sustained attention obtainable from the average will power is not over ten minutes. The preacher who goes beyond that should consider himself responsible for k+eping his hearers attention from flag- ging. Five and six minute sermons have been found very effective by some Roman Catholic preachers. The preachers of that church hold attention better than Protes- tants because they speak to the pecple as to children. A great deal of good preach- ing is lost for no other reason than that the ideas of the speaker do not pass into the minds of the hearers. The latter suppose they understand because all the words are English and quite familiar, while they really grasp little. The preacher should select some person of average or less than average capacity, perhaps some intelli- gent boy or girl in the back of the audience, and make sure that what he says reaches

practice, he will inevitably have in mind some few cultured persons in the

fied to have their superior learning occa- sionally recognized and will listen with less

fatigue to simple English addressed to |

simple people. It is not eaty, however, to

preach simply. He is agreat preacher who, | like Spurgeon and Moody, does it always | / and does it well.
