Tux Women's Temperance Union will give a Musical and Literary Entertainment, in the Y. M. ©. A. Hall, on Friday, February 2\Ist. The friends of the cause are respectfully re quested to be present. Doors open at 7.30. Entertainment will commence at 8. Admis- sion 10 cents.

THe Canadian Government has been in-

vited to join in an international fishery exhi- bition to be held at Berlin in 1850 under the auspices of the Crown Prince. It cannot be doubted that on such an occassion the Do- minion could make a fair show of its imple ments and products ; and it may act wisely for many reasons in responding to the invitation.

Perer MILAN, the Weshington, U. 5, Post Office messenger, who stole 34,000 from a registered letter there, was condemned at special sessions, on the 17th, to five years’ imprisonment in St. Vincent de Paul Peniten- tiary, Montreal. He could not be extradited, but pleaded guilty of bringing a stolen letter into Canada. The amount of $1,500, discov- ered on his person, was handed over to United States authorities. _The lawyers representing the prosecution say rum was the cause of Mil- ligan’s fall, and as penalty under Canadian law is much more severe than under Ameri can, they will petition Government for com- mutation of prisoner's senterce to two years imprisonment.

NOTWITHSTANDING the inclement weather, the entertainment at St. Paul’s Schoolroom last evening was fairly patronized. The enter- tainment fully equalled its predecessors. The following was the programme :—

1. An Instrumental Duet—The Misses Pope Welsh, which was very well played.

2. A Vocal Trio by Messrs. Manning and B:1l, with Masters Manning and Bell, the two latter singing the alto together; the piece was exceedingly well rendered.

3. Reading by Lieut. Boulton, R. N.

4. Instrumental by Mrs. J. Pope. Toa lady so well known, it is needless to add

raise—she played as only Mrs. Pope knows ow te play.

5. Nancy Lee, by the boys belonging to St. Paul's Church. This was received with great favor. As an encore they sang a verse of Yankee Doodle. It is only fair to add that the boys were trained by Miss Ella Palmer.

6. Reading—Jackdon of Rheims—Mr. Man- ning.

7. Instrumental Duet by Mrs. J. Pope and Mr. “arle. It was received with loud ap- plause.

8. Solo by Miss Crabbe, ‘‘ I know an eye so bright.”” The strength, power and sweetness of this young lady’s voice took everybody by surprise. She received an encore.

9. Reading—Mr. S. FitzGerald.

10. Duet, ‘* All’s Well.”—Lieut. and Mr. H. Haszard. Encored.

11. Reading—Lieut. J. Whitly Dixon, R.N.

12. Duet, Voli il piede—Misses Maggie and Millicent Palmer.

County Line Notes.

County Lixg, Feb. 18, 1879.

The people do not believe in being dead while they live. ‘They enlivened the place last evening by ‘“‘ tripping the light fan- tastic toe” until two in the morning. Some 200 people attended the ball at J. McCon- ner’s.

A new branch of business has been start- ed in this place. Mr. Murphy, late of St. Stephens, has opened a tailoring establish- ment. He knows how to do it.

Travellers are soon dispatched from the trains here to the iceboats, either by one, two or three horses. When the Messrs. Hughes believe in moving they make quite an even hitch.

The business men and farmers are bound to try hard for a starch factory here. They are looking ahead for sugar making. Jones, the Yankee pump man, has the ball moving in the right direction we think.

Some of the former school-:mates of Dr. Cahil live here. They will not allow the people of DeSable to have the credit of raising the smart boy that has been assign- ed the important position of Physician and Surgeon of the city of Boston.

Ministers of the Gospel are very scarce here. We have no preacher at this place. Send one along. He shall have Church or Hall well warmed. A poor one is better than none.

Breadalbane Notes.

Fes. 18, 1879.

The thaw has much changed the looks of

e country in this section. We have some eighteen inches of snow, if evenly divided. Travel has much improved, and the farmers are moving about lively. They are laying in their stock of fish for Lent. The stores are well patronized—furnishing fixings for the house and farm, wedding goods for the daughters and sons, and little things for the new-born.

The water power here is offered for sale. |

It isa valuable property and will be the making of this place, in the event of its being used for the running of a starch man- ufactory, for which it is well adapted.

Last week Mr. Biggar was obliged to kill the valuable trotting horse that broke his leg a short time ago. He also had the second taken by a bailiff, and returned very lame. ‘The officer supposed it was a horse owned by another person. This will prob- ably entail another law-suit.

Mr. Robert Biggar has recovered from the injuries he received by the falling of a tree (mentioned in Darty of last week). He is moving about the house.

Mr. Mayo, the photo artist, is making many pretty likenesses of the natives. One load of seven persons drove to his saloou on Friday last, One old lady, almes‘

80, had several photos taken, to distribute among her children and grand-children.

The Bravery of British Seamen.

Glorious preot of the gallantry and dis- cipline of British seamen is furnished, says a writer in the Daily Zelegraph, by the nar- ratives which have reached us from Her Majesty’s ship ‘‘ Thunderer.”” We know at length how that huge ironclad was cleared for action at a signal from the Admiral; how the water-tight compartment into which the vessel is diviced were closed, the men at their stations and the guns loaded. We learn how, following one broadside, fired at an imaginary enemy, there came a ‘* strong report,” with a sound ‘* altogether different from that which a broadside makes,” and after what fashion the skip’s company became aware that something was wrong. Then comes the story of how the men remained, each little party in its own compartment, with lights all out by reason of the concussion, and the knowledge that whatever had hap- pened, they must be prepared to die, if need be, without opening the partition doors, in order to save the ship. One who is at the bottom of the ladder which leads te the battery deck is sent to sound the wells, and as he tries to pass along the deck he finds the main hatchway choked with a torpedo, and filled with smokejand flame—himself and his comrades “ like rats inatrap.” When, eventually, he succeeds in his mission, the sight which meets his eyes is terrible in the extreme. Men who but a moment before were hale and well are lying blackened and disfigured, so as not to be recognizable ; others are striving to lead away those more injured than themselves ; while from some of the dying comes « cry that comrades ‘‘ who are even worse than they” should be attended to first. There is no unseemly fright mani- fested, although at this dreadful moment no one can tell the cause or the extent of the catastrophe. For aught that any man on board knows the hold of the vessel may have been rent, or some other accident have occurred seriously imperilling the safety of the ship and the lives of the crew. Yet no one quits his post, the dead are rev- erently taken up, the wounded are carefully removed, the debris of the broken gun and turret is cleared away, and then the ship’s company ‘‘set to work coffin-making,” while those whose number _— will hereafter be missing from the mess are prepared for interment. It is, with all its lamentable accompnaiments, a grand and instructive scene. Not a word is heard of irregularity ; for though as many have been killed and wounded ina single moment as would have sufficed for a general action, and by a cause altogether unknown at the time, yet that good ship’s crew stands at general quarters and despite the alarm and the carnage bears itself as English sailors alone know how to do. In the annals of our navy there is many a brave record, and the tale of how our seamen have done their duty is known in every land; but, from the foundering of the ‘‘Birkenhead” until to- day, has no story been related in which these marvellous qualities have been more plainly set forth than on the occasion of the explosion aboard the ‘‘Thunderer.”

The Death-rate of

Our country is getting to be fearfully al- arming, the average of life being lessened ‘every year, without any reasonable cause, | death resulting generally from the most in- ‘significant origin. At this season of the ‘year, especially, a cold is such a common thing that in ~he hurry of every day life we are apt to overlook the dangers attending it and often find, too late, that a Fever or Lung trouble has already set in. Thou- sands lose their lives in this way every win- ter, while had Bosshee’s German Syrup been taken, a cure would have resulted, and a large bill from a doctor been avoided. For all diseases of the Throat and Lungs, Bos- ehee’s German Syrup has pvoven itself to be the greatest discovery of its kind in medi- cine. Every Druggist in this country will tell you of its wonderful effect. Over 950,- 000 bottles sold last year without a single failure known.
