We have on exhibition, at our Rooms, a large number of Photograps of every variety, including the

he most beautifal style of Photograph known, possessing a sofiness avd delicacy of coloring that has never been equailed. This elegant picture has become deservedly popu arelscwhere, and cannot fail to be- core so here.

Though the finish of our Photographs cannot be excelled, we would direct aiten- tion to the beautiful

Glace’ Pictures

which we make. They possess a highly enamelled surface, and are practically indes- tructible, und will retain their freshness and beauty for any length of time. If they become soiled they cap easily be cleaned, as they will not lose any of their beauty by being wet. ‘This valuadle quality, com- bind with their remarkable elegance, make them very suitable for presents; while the difficulty of their production will prevent them ever becoming so common as to lessen their value. Our patrons cap have one or all of their Photos finished in this style—an advantage which cannot be obtain. d elsewhere.

We give special attention to making Groups of Fam lies, Societies, Schools, &c

Gur pictures ef children are sufficient evidence cf our success in this difficult branch of our art.

Qur *NLARGEMENTS, finished in India Ink, Pastel, Creyon, Oi! and Water Colors, have wade a favorable reputation for them selves throughout the Lower Provinces.

Parties intending to have Photographs made will find it to their advantage to sit early, as the number of our cu ‘tomers makes some delay in the delivery of the Photos unavoidable. We prefer to have our silters come by appointment.

Photographs can be Obtained for less money elsewhere ; bul in this case we ask that quality be given the preference; as- suring the public that they will fiad our charges very moderate.

Reform in Jre’and.

Let justice be done to Ireland. If ‘‘Home

sent popular acceptation of that phrase there is no reason why the wishes of the Irish people should not be respected on a imatter which affecta at once their virtue, (their comfort, and their prosperty. There is now a remarkable instance before the public on this point ; and it may be hoped that the Bri ish Parliarentwill have the good sens to yield to the scli-itation of the Irish people. In the last session of Parliament a bill was introduced for the closing of pub- lic-houses in Ireland on Sundays. It was eventually set aside, notwithstanding the strong expression of sentiment in its favor. The agitation, however, has not been per- mitted to die ; and recently there was pre- sented to Sir M. Hicks Beach, Secretary of State for Ireland, a national petition upon this matter. It was in some respects the most remarkable document which has ever emanated from Ireland. All religious creeds and all political opinions were fully repre- sented. The list began with 20 Roman Catholic Bishops, 10 Protestant Bishops, and the Moderator of the General Assem- bly, Belfast. The memorial was signed by 3,399 of the clergy of all denominations, 1,- 434 mazistrates, 1,190 physicians and sur- geons, 860 Town Councillors, and 2,841 Poor Law Guardians. Nearly 50 printed pages were filled with the names of memor- ialists, which numbered not less than 9,- 654; and this, it is claimed, is only a feeble expression of the strength of public feeling on the subject. Such a demonstration of popular sentiment ought to be respected. No Government or Parliament would be justified in deliberately setting at nought the wishes of the people, as thus expressed Whatever evils may afflict Ireland those of a social nature are not the least grievous, and when the people ask in a constitutional manner for the redress of any one of them, they should have the liberty .of trying the experiment. In Ireland, as in other coun- tries, drink is a curse; and whether it succeed or not the demand should be grant- ed for the closing of the public-houses on the Sunday. The subject has already come before the House of Commons; and ac- cording to a cable message the bill has been read a second time. It will, perhaps, hardly be possible for the Government to delay the final adoption of the measure.— Scottish American Journal. el AS me

Revision of the Bible.

Every now and again a statement appears in the public journals of the p§ogress which has has been made in the revision of the Bible. It is a work of the utmost moment, and since the forriation of the presen! au- tiorized version has attracted more atten- tion among all classes than any other work of the kind ever attempted. There are those who think that the revision is need- less, and that any material change in the terminology of the Bible may have a tend- ency to originate doubt as to the inspiration of the Bible, or to create perplexity in the minds of simple readers. In reply to this 't is enough to say that during the last three hundred years the English language has un- dergone important changes, and that ex- pressions are now to be found in the Bible which have a different meaning in present use from that which they bear in the Old and New Testaments. Jt is necessary, therefore, that these shouid be changed if the Bible is not to mislead. In like manner some of the original Greek and He- brew words were incorrectly rendered; and with our present more advanced scholarship tliese inaccuracies can be readily corrected. This is really what is being attempted by the revision now in process; and so far from tending in any degree to undermfne the di- vine authority of the Bible, the result will be to render the Bible a more emphatic ex- position of the mind and will of God, ac- cording to the form and language in which it was originally written under the inspira- tion of the Holy Ghost. The most eminent biblical scholars in Great Britain, taken from all Protestant churches, are employed in the work. When the English revision is completed that will be submitted to a com- mittee of revisers in America, and the American work will again in turn be sub- jected to English scrutiny. Every precau- tion, therefore, is taken to prevent mis- translation, or the exercise of any improper influence arising from ecclesiastical procliv- ities or theological bias; and when the work is completed there will be every reason to appreciate it as the most complete specimen of biblical translation ever yet performed. The progress so far made in the revision of both Testaments is eminently satisfactory; and according to Dr. Schaff, of New Yorks who isa very competent authority on the subject, the whole work will be finished within about three or four more years.— Scottish American Journal.

‘ing t» Dandee, have been engaged in repairing ‘a number of tie spires in Inverness. On Mon; ‘day morning the two last named ascended the | Free High Church steeple, to remove the gilt ba'l from off the vane rod. The morning was raw and excessively cold. The ball was suc- cessfully removed, and Dunbar then came safe- ly down the ladders lashed to the outside of the spire, and reached a projecting buttress, about sixty feet from the ground. Here there is a good foothold, but, from whatever cause, Dunbar lost his balance, and fell on to an iron rvling which surrounds the church, upon which he was impaled; but the spikes gave way, and he rolled on to the street, He was terribly cut about the head and face, while the iron spikes inflicted a number of ugly wounds on other parts of his person. He only sur- viveld afew minutes. It is conjectured that the excessive cold had benumbed the poor fel- low, and had caused sudden illness. He was 26 years of age, and had only followed: his dangerous avocation for twelve months. hav- ing previously been a sailor.— Scotsman.

Allegad Poisoning Cases.

he Wurringtou Guardian reports that a re

markable case of poisoning, similiar in many respects to that in which a woman named Mary Ann Cotton was convicted at Durham for the murder of several lodgers and children, and which created great interest in the north of England at the time, was investigated at Walton Inferior, near Warrington, a tew days ago. A woman named Lydia Sykes, wife of a workman, paid a visit to a son-in-law residing at Walton inferior, a village about two miles out of Warrington. She died at her relatives house under suspicious circumstances, and the result of an inquest was the discovery of arsonic in the stomach. It was then reported that two or three childrea in the family had diedia the same sudden way, and the facts having been reported to the Home Secretary, he ordered one of the bodies to be exhumed, The inquest was held on Monday, and Mr. Bell, the County analyst of Manchester, dc- poned to the presence of arsenic in the stomach sufficient to cause death. Thereupon a ver- dict of "wilful murder was, returned. Some clue as to the motive is furnished in the fact that the children and the deceased woman were all insured. In the Mary Ann Cottcn case, already alluded to, this was also a lead- ing feature. It is probable that the other badies will be exhumed.

University of Edinburgh.

The matriculation returns for the past year have now been completed, and show a consid- erable increase in the number of students in residence over any former period. The num- bers on the register for 1876 were 2,302; fcr 1877, they amount to 2,550. The students are divided between the {several faculties as fol- lows: In the Faculty of Arts, 953 students; of Theology, 67; of Law, 364; and of Medi- cine, 1176. In the latter Faculty, the wide range of supply of students is as remarkable as in former years, and shows now largely our colonies and India are availing themselves of the — educational forees of this country. Of the 1176 on the register of the Faculty of Medicine, 521 are from Scotland, 407 from England, 20 from Ireland, 135 from the colon- ies, 65 from India, and 23 from foreign coun- tries. The lists of graduates in 1877 gives the following returns ;—In tie Faculty of Arts, 76 took the degree of M. A. In the Science Diy- ision there were in addition 24 graduates—7 taking the degree of D. Sc., and 17 that of B. Se., of which 3 D. Sc. and 4 B. Sc. were in the department of public health. In theology, 6 took the degree of B. D.; m law, 2 took the degrae of LD. B., and 2 the minor degree of b. L.; in medicine 34 took the degree of M.D., 108 the degree of M. M., and 101 that of C.M. The ground is now being cleared for the erec- tion of the Univergity Extension Buildings, which, with the aid of the Government grant, will be vigorously proceeded with, and thus furnish the additional accommodation so ur- gently required for the increasing number of students, and for the fuller development of the teaching resources of the University.

Lord Kinnaird.

A serious loss has befallen Scotland in the death of Lord Kinnaird. The announcement of this event has come with a startling sudden- ness. Only a few days prior to his death, the noble Lord presided at a public meeting at Dundee, apparently in his usual hralth. On the morning of the 5th inst., he transacted im-

rtant business with his factor, although suf-

ering slightly from cold, A severe attack of

inflammation of the bowels seized him on the evening of the same day ; and, despite the best attention and skill that could be rendered, his Lordship gradually sank until the 7th inst, when he expired.

George William Fox Kinnaird, ninth baron of the name, was bern at Drimmie Honse on the 14th of April, 1808, so that he was within a short time of completing his 7!st year. His father was the eighth Baron Kinnaird who for some timé sat in the House of Commons as M. P. for Leominister, and in the House of Lords as a representative peer of Scotland. He was educated at Eton, and during several years of his early he was devoted to military affairs, In the year 1826 he succeeded to the Tiroaty: and since then has led very much the life of a coun} try gentleman, applying himself, however, with exceptional zeal and industry to the promotion of many importaut public projects. In 1831 he was made a Peer of the Umted Kidgdom, as Baron Rossie of Rossie, thus acquiring in his own right a seat in the House of Lords. For the two years 1839-41—he filled the post of Master of the Buckhounds, and in 1850 was sworn a Privy Councillor; the dignity of Knight of the Thistle being conferred in 1857.

In ecclesiastical matters. Lord Kinnaird wes strongly inclined to the High Church party ; whilst in politics he wasa strong and avowed Liberal From him Messrs. Cobden and Bright received zealous sssistance in their | great struggle for Free Trade principles ; and
