Notes and Comments. — Mr. Erastus Wiman says that ** Com- mercial Union is the only right road to Annexation.” ’‘Rassus is right.

— The statement of the Bank of Mon- treal shows that the net profits of that Bank for the year ended 30th April, amounted to $1,377,176.01, and that after paying two dividends of five per cent., the balance of profit and loss carried forward was $817,417.53.

— Talking about Arbor Day—what of the trees planted in former years? They re- main uapruned—uncared for. Can’t the Corporation afford a man to see after them ? Or must the citizens meet and appoint a special committee, and subscribe money in order that the work may be done /

—A proposition submitted by La Liberte has caused some comment in Paris. That journal urges President Carnot to mark the centennial year of the revolution by revok- ing the exile laws and by proclaiming a general amnesty. An act of this sort, says La Liberte, would prove the power of France and would show that she does not fear her enemies. It would also tend to destroy Boulangis=n.

The amount per head of the population is £3 7s; its amount per average family, £16 5s; its weight in sovereigns, 976 tons; its acreage, sovereigns laid edge to edge, fifteen acres; its length, sovereigns laid face to face, 1154 miles; its time to count, one sovereign per second, four years; its amount, per each letter of the Bible, $34 18s. 9d.

DAILY EXA\

Meeting of Presbytery.

Island met in There were

The Presbytery of P. E. Summerside on the 8th inst. present eighteen ministers and three elders. An elder commission from the session of Long River and Kensington was read and sustained, appointing Mr. John Daughart to represent them in Presbytery and Synod during the ensuing year. Rev. Alex. Sterling was appointed a commission to the General Assembly instead of Rey. James Carruthers, Rev. A. B. McLeod in- stead of Rev. Geo. Fisher, and Hon. David Laird instead of Hon. James Nicholson.

Rev. Mr. Carruthers submitted a care- fully prepared report on Statistics. The report turnished a large amount of interest- ing information indicating progress in every department of church work, especially in contributions to the schemes of the church. The amount raised by this Presbytery for Foreign Misssions alone being $1,000 in excess of any previous year, The thanks of the Presbytery was tendered Mr. Car- ruthers for his excellent report.

The report on Systematic Beneticence was submitted by Rev. W. M. Tuffts, and was cordially received and approved, and its recommendations adopted, which are as follows: Ist. That the duty and privi- lege of giving be early and earnestly im- pressed on the mind of the young by parents, Suaday-school teachers and others; Ynd. The circulation amongst our people of a pamphlet on systematic giving, pub- lished by the Synod’s Committee on that subject, and Srd, that in appropriating moneys collected for the schemes of the church, the comparative necessities of the different schemes be taken into conside ra- tion.

Rev. George MacMillan submitted the report on Augmentation, from which it appeared that though one of our con had failed to contribute the yet the sum this had been

greygations full amount, asked from raised,

Rev. W. H. Spencer submitted the re- port on Sabbath Schools. Owing to the neglect of superintendents to furnish the committee with the necessary information, this report, in consequence, failed to give s correct idea of our Sabbath School work, as well as of the number in attendance. Che Presbytery received and approved the report and adopted its recommendations, which are as follow:—First, that sessions and S. S. superintendents be informed to furnish the committee with fuller statistics of the Sabbath School work within their bounds; secondly, that Sabbath Schools be supported by grants from the general funds of the congregation, so that the liberality of the scholars in giving to the schemes of the church may be early developed; and thirdly, that the Presbytery be divided into districts, and that Sabbath School conven- tions be held in the seveval sections, and when practicable that the schools be visited in groups, with a view of awakening a deeper interest in the Sabbath School work of the chureh. The following are the districts into which the Presbytery was divided: 1. Murray Harbor, Wood Is- lands, Caledonia, Valleyfield, Belfast, Or- well and Montague, Rev. Mr. Spencer, Convener. 2. Georgetown, Cardigan, Dundas, Bay Fortune, Souris, East St. Peters, Mount Stewart and West St. Peters, Rev. J. W. McKenzie, Convener.

Mr. Mahon submitted a very interesting report on tem- perance, which was approved and adopted. Rev. J. R. Coffin read an excellent report on the state of religion, showing that, so far as we are able to judge, never in any previous year was religion in a more hope- ful and flourishing condition than at the present time. The report was received and adopted, and the Convener of this and of the other committees was instructed to furnish the Convener of the Synod and Assembly’s committees each with a copy of their respective reports. J. M. Macleod submitted a report from the committee on the Book of Forms, suggesting a number of changes inthe rules and forms of proce- dure. The report was approved, ana ordered to be forwarded to the Clerk of the Assembly. The Rev. W. P. Archibald, B. D., was authorized to moderate in a call in Brookfield as soon as that congregation is prepared to proceed in calling a minister. Notices from Presbyteries were read, inti- mating their intention to apply to the General Assembly for leave to receive as ministers of the P. C. in Canada the Rev. W. M. Cruikshanks and Rev. W. H. Craig, of the Congregational Church; the Rev. W. Knowles, of the Methodist Church ; Rev. George McKay and Rev. James Mur- ray, of the Established Church of Scotland, and Rev. James H. Beatt, of the U. P. Church of Scotland.

The following appointments were made for the moth of May:—Caledonia, Mr. J. M. McLennan on 19th and 26th; Brook- field, J. M. McLennan on 12th; West and Clyde River, Rev. D.

Test Your Own Tea.

_A Russian analyst, writing to the papers,

ives the following asa test by which tea can

e proved to be genuine or not;— Put a~piach of tea in a glass, pour upon it a little cold water and shake it up well, Pure tea will only slightly color the water, while a a infusion is quickly got from the adulteratec or painted leaf. ow boil both sorts sep- erately and let them stand till cool and the difference between them will be most marked. The false tea will become still stronger after long standing, but will remain transparent, whereas the pure tea will become muddy or milky. This last appearance arises from the tannic acid,.which is a neutral property in pure tea, but which in artificial tea is entirely

absent.
