when an aged uncle dies.

'l hat it is quite possible to keep the St Lawrence open for navigation during the winter season, was the opinion of the majority of those most acquainted with the subpect who spoke at Weilnesdays meeting at the Chambre de Commerce, called for the purpose of hearing what Capt. Inuian of Duluth, had to say upon he subject

Mr. Inman, in his address, confined iniself largely to a description of a model f an ice breaker, which lay on the, table efore hiin, as well as to a recital of his xperiences on the western lakes He said that in freezing to the great hiekness which were frequently spoken

confident that they could be overcome, and that navigation could be kept open

the ice being of a regular formation pre sen ted an easier surface and the top of the bows being flatit worked its way more readily Its sides would be more rounded than shown in the model to give more power to resist the pressure He had been engaged in ice breaking for fifteen years His little tug the Record had nothing very special to recommend her,
