Lord Danraven, who will be remem. | ing visited Nova Scotia two |

bered as hav or three times during his sojourn mn Canada, while engaged in hunting, con- tributes an account of his tour to the

Nine for Julv. We

} ‘ ‘ * eenth Century

in hi: Lordship's alventures :—

A stranve scene, tor example, which eame within my observation last year, completely pein led me at the time and has done so ever since. IL wasin Nova Seotin in the fall. when one day my Indian told me that in a lake close by, | all the rocks were moving ont of the water—a circumstance which [thought not a little strange. However I went

nenormous block which lay some above bigh-water mark. The earth and stones were beaped up in jront of ittoa height of three or tour feet. There was a deep furrow, the exact breadth of the block leading down direct|y from it into the lake, and ex- tending till it was was hidden from my sight by the depth of the water. Loose stones and pebbles wore piled up on each side of this groove in a regular, clearly defined line. IL thought at first that jrom some cause or other the smaller stones, pebbles and sand had been dragged down from above, and consequently had piled themselves up in front of all the large rocks too heavy to be removed, and had left a vacant space or furrow behind the rocks. But it that had been the case, the drift of moving material would of course have joined together again in the space of a few yards behind the fixed rocks. On the contrary, these grooves or furrows remained the same width throughout their entire length and have, I think undoubtedly been caused by the rock forcing its way up through the loose shingle and stones which compose the bed of the lake. What power has set these rocks in motion it is difficult to decide. The action of ice is the only thing that might explain it; but how ice could exert itself in that special manner, and why, if ice is the cause of it, it does not manifest the tendency in every lake in every part of the world, I do not pretend to comprehend,

My attention having been once di- rected to this, I noticed it in various ether lakes. Unfortunately my Indian only mentioned it to me a day or two before I left the woods. I had no time, therefore, to make any investigation into the subject. Possibly some of my readers may be able to account for this, to me. extraordinary phenomenon.

Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Remedy.

T. J. B. Harpine, Esq., Brockville, Ont. :— Dear Srr—It is now two years since your ‘‘Censtitutional Catarrh Remedy’ 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 % true.” ' | 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

When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third, | quit taking it, feeling quite cured of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some for a cold in my head,
