The Lord Bishop of 4

ova Scotia

PRINCIPAL:

The Rev, John Padfield.

NHIS SCHOOL offers, at very moderate

cost. the advantages of a comfortable and

pleasant’ home together with a thorough and refined education,

The course of Instruction is the same as that of the best Schools in England and is founded upon the University Examinations for Women. Eight young ladies from this School passed the Local Examination of the University of King’s College in June last. This is the only School in Canada that has passed pupils at a University Examination.

The number of pupils is limited, rendering the School select, and while it possesses all the educational advantages of a large public school, each pupil is enabled to receive that individual care and oversight which is so important, and which cannot be given ina large establish. ment.

Mr. and Mrs. Padfield are assisted by a

staff of four resident governesses, besides visit- }

a arisienne French is taught conversation- ally. There are two resident French Gov- ernesses. Keferences given to parents of pupils. For further particulars address the Prin cipal.

Co. Lewis. who has for the last two years been Mayor of London, Ont., has donated the whole of his official salary for the above term, $1,200, to the poor of the city. This was done, not when seeking re-election, though strongly urged to accept the position for another term, but when retiring frem civic official life. This is an example which it would be safe for others to follow.

We are pleased to see the Central Commit- tee for Relief ot the Poor going earnestly to werk. Already preparations are being made for the breaking of stenes and chopping of wood, We learn that Mr. William Murray, baker, has agreed to purchase fifty cords of wood frem the committee. Messrs. Peake Bros. & Co. have also purchased fifty cords, suitable for wood stoves. ‘This wood will be cut immediately. Parties now in need of employment can obtain the same by apply- ing to any member of the Central Committe.

ALL Sarnts’ Cuurcu. - Messrs. J. LeBrocg and. Murphy, of this town, have just finish- ed the wood-work on the interior of All Saints” Church, Cardigan Bridge, which, when plast- ered, will be one of the handsomest church edifices on the Island. ‘The whole building has been arched strapped and lathed, and a gallery framed and finished throughout. Two stairways leading to the gallery have been erected, and the columns cased in a workman- like manner. ‘The walls as high as the win- dows have been studded and sealed, and a large amount of work to strengthen the tower of the building has boen executed to the ut- most satisfaction of the trustees, by whom the contractors have been highly complimented, — Kk, C.

For the last 22 years we have had many oc- casion of testing the Guenon system for the selection of milch cows by the milk escutcheon which consists in a deuble band of hair, be- tween the thighs running upwards, instead of downwards. The system as giren by its author, appears te us uselessly complicated. However, we could never purchase a milch cow without a careful examination of the size and height of the escutcheon ; the higher it extends and the broader itis, the better the milking qualities will be. There are also sey- eral well known means by which a good milker is known. But most of these marks can only be seen when the cowis in milk. Dhemilk wirrer, on the other hand; may be seen on a bull calf as well as on anew bern heifer. Where stock is mainly raised for milk, The bull should be selected from the best milk steck, and the milk mirror on the bul! will, in most cases, be an indication of milking quali- ties in the stock produced.

The deep sea dredging conducted by the American Fish Commission between Say brook and the Bay of Fundy has breught te light more than fifty varieties of fish pre- viously unknown, at least in American waters. Many kinds of these newly dis- covered fish are quite palatable. The dredging expedition, in charge of Professor Verill, of Yale, has earefully studied the habits of the different fish and animals found, and has sought to learn the localities where each species most abounds, their food, time and circumstances of breeding, and particulars concerning their migration. Fishes have been epened, and the contents of their stomachs examined to see what they eat. This is a very impertant part of the investigation,aud the mest that is known in this direction lias been learned through the researehes of the Commisson. This point known, the reason of the presence or ab- sence of a particular fish in any locality could be readily determined. In places where herring have been found in large quantities one season none could be dis- covered the next, on account of the disap-- pearance of their favorite feod. There diet is shrimps. The latter exist on almost in- visible crustacea, and these again on micro- scopic creations. The presence of the micrescopic life would bring the crustacea, te be followed by the shrimps, the herrings and the whales and the sharks, in the order named. Thus is seen the important part the most minute things may play in the ecoromy of nature. A knowledge of these facts will teach the fisherman not to destroy the food supply of his prospective prey.
