| SEMINARY FOR YOUNG LADIES. VISITOR + The Lord Bishop of Nova Scotla
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 educat: onal advantages of alarge public schoel, each pupil is enabled to receive that individual care and oversight which is so important, and which cannot be given in a large establish- ment.
Mr. and Mrs. Padfield are assisted by a staff of four resident governesses, besides visit- ing masters.
Parisienne French is taught conversation- ally. There are two resident French Gov- ernesses.
References given to parents of pupils.

PoPULAR risings have occurred in County Armagh, in opposition to attempts to evict tenats who refused to pay their rent. Incen- diary fires are also reported from the same part.
A @ONSIDERABLE force of Hindoos from the Nagas Hill territory have made a raid into the adjoining portion of Benyal, laying waste and destroying numerous tea gardens, and killing the managers. Itis rumored that the affair is due to the influence of malcontents in British Burmah.

A COMPARISON of the budgets of Europe shows that France and Russia have the heav- iest, Germany’s iw double what it was in 1865. Those of lialy and Austria are the only ones which show reductions in military expenses. It is to be noticed that France is steadily and patiently increasing her arma- ments.
THERE is much distress among thé poorer class of fishermen in the neighborheod of Halifax, but the mild weather of the present winter has enabled them so far to eke outa living. Should severe weather put in, it is feared much suffering will be experienced and the charitably disposed of Halifax are called on for help.
Toxto, Japan, has been devastated by three terrible fires in the last seven years. The last, whieh took place towards the close of December, laid waste several square miles of the eity, destroyed fifteen thousand houses and left a proportional number of persons without shelter, and a large number without food. The foreign quarter was almost entire- ly consumed, and several missionary estab- lishments have been reduced teruin. Overa hundred persons were killed or fatally in- jured.
Prerarations for a renewal of the exe- dus fren the Ottawa valley to Manitoba have begun. The first party will leave Ot- tawa on Mareh 2nd, and is expected to make the journey in four and a half days. No doubt, a similar movement will take place in most of the older sectiens of the Province, The indications are that the British farmers, with a small capital, about to set out for Canada, will find many farms cleared to their hand awaiting purchase in Ontario. ,
A CORRESPONDENT of the New York Sun asked, ‘‘Why are white cats deaf?’ and a learned M. D. replies: ‘‘Because the splenetic lymph that in black cats permeates the en- cephalic region and exercises its normal func- tions in those secretions which absorb the adipose liquefactions in their transfusion through the mivute ramifications in which they are conveyed to the cephalic protuber- ances has no primor condition of existence in the white cat. This defect destroys thie nerves, this rendering the auricular organs impervious to sound.” It strikes us that this is the correct answer.
News has reached Caleutta that the exe- cutions at Mandalay are still continued with unabated cruelty. One of the newly- created princes has lately been put to death, ostensibly for aspiring too high in his amours, and five sisters of the Phongzai have also been executed on the pretext that they were in correspondence with the Nyoung Yan Prince, but really, it is be- lieved, because they had the misfortune to become the objects of the Chief Queen’s jealousy. The line, however,.is net drawn at royal blood, or even at natives of Bur- mah. Two Ponnas, er Manipuri Brah- mans, with three Burmese attendants, have been put to death, whether on ground of their having undertaken to procure poison to be used on the King, or for de- votion to the cause of the Nyoung Yan Prince, is uncertain. Itis stated that the Chief Queen’s eldest sister, Soopayahgyee, has been concerned in an attempt to ad- minister poison te the King and Queen. True or false, such stories of palace in- trigues are made che excuse for remorse- lessly despatching those who have in- curred the displeasure of the King or his favorities.
Axout a month ago!Detective Richardson, while at the Bonaventure, (Quebec), depot, had his attention called to the strange ap- pearance of a young woman whe was stand- ing with a valise beside the western train. In conversation with her he soon learned that her mind was deranged, as she talked incoherently about geing on her wedding trip, and about her engagement ring. She was at once removed to the Chaboillez Square Police Station, when she could only be quieted by being allowed paper and pen to write. A gentleman hearing of her case went to the young man to whom she said she was engaged, and asked him te go and see her. He replied that he would never marry her and would not go near her. The gentleman asked him to come and tell her s0, thinking perhaps that the shock weuld have a favorable effect upen her, but the young man still declined. ‘‘ Well,” said the gentleman, ‘‘ you need not be surprised if you see her here in twenty minutes, fer I will bring her to see you.” The young fellow uttered a threat of violence if she were brought in, and the gentleman went away. This was about two weeks ago, and the girl is still in custody, being quite in- sane. But sinee then the young man whe so indignantly refused to see her has also lost his reason, and now it is said isa fit
subject for an ésylum.

It is often a pretty good matrimonial | firm that consists of three-quarters wife and | ene-quarter husband.
The Saturday Review contrasts the foreign
policy of Lord Beaconsfield with that of | Mr. Gladstone, by saying that the latter is | “pledged to exchange the foreign policy of the lion, for the foreign policy of the ostrich.” The pigram is apt and accurate, and will no doubt be largely adopted as the definition of the two policies,
M. Nicholas de Nasattine says that the aroma of fruit increases with the latitude, while the sweetness decreases. Northern trees have flowers and foliage of vivid col- ors, and herbs of the nerth contain more essential oil than these of the seuth—all this being due to the prolonged light of summer months in Northern climes.
You may strengthen your voice by read- ing er reciting for a short time daily, in the highest speaking tone which you can comfortably maintain ; in singing, exercise the highest notes of the voice, but do not dwell en those which you can only reach with difficulty. Avoid taking pastry, cakes, nuts, cream or coflee when about to sing.
A vacant mind takes all the meaning out of the fairest face. A sonsual disposition deforms the handsomest features. A cold, selfish heart shrivels the best looks. A mean, grovelling spirit take all the dignity out of the figure anggall the character out of the countenance. A cherished hatred transforms the most beautiful lineamenta into an image of ugliness.
A new and very valuable iron magnetic mine,judging from a specimen shown a few days ago, is now being opened up on lot 2, in the second concession of Madoc. A gang of men have been at work for some time getting out ere, and preparations are being made to ship 2,000 tons this winter.
t not only promises to be rich, but of vast extent. It is owned by Messrs. Pusey, Weod and O’Hara. A firm in Youngstewn, Ohie, have been working for some time past what is known as the Sexsmith iron mine in the seventh concession, lot 8, in Madoc, twe miles and a half from the ‘ine ef railway. It proves thus far to be a large deposit of superior magnetic ore, and acon- siderable quantity is being delivered on the line ef railway preparatory to shipment.
A Curtp Borzp.—-It has been demon- strated in St. Catherines that a woman may forget her child leng enough at least to bring very serious injury upon it. A mother, thinking to wash her baby, found the water too coal, and the fire almost out. While re-kindling the one to warm the ether, she put the naked infant on the barely warm stove. A no'se of fighting dogs in the yard, and fears for her clean clothes on the line, then caused the woman to run eut, and the new excitement filled her mind so that she left her baby en the stove till the fire burned up, badly burning the little one. Medical care has saved its life, and new the mother makes up fer her forgetfulness by extra care and love.
Frank Brice, an English sailor, bid good- by to to his wife in the winter of 1865 and set sail frem Liverpool fer the Newfound- land fisheries. A year later news reached his home, near London, that Brice, with all his messmates, had gone down in a gale. - Mrs. Brice then looked to her husband's brother, Fred H. Brice, for support, and came with the latter’s family to America, But Frank, having fioated on a raft for three days, had been picked up by a whal- ing vessel. Two years after his departure he landed again at Liverpool and sought his family. All traees of them were gone. Of a roving disposition, Frank then enlist- ed in the Pacific Mail service. He went round and round the world, mecting with many adventures. One night last Nevem- ber he found ‘himaeif in San Francisco and face to face with his brother Fred, who had gene thither from Kansas City on business. He accompanied his brother to Kansas City, where Mrs. Brice was living in sup- posed widewheod.
Geneva is menaced with a serious calam- ity. Sometime age the Duke ef Bruns- wick left his enermous fortune in Geneva by a quaintly worded testament, to which the municipality in due course administered as universal legatee. Grateful for the magnificent bequest willed to it by Charles Frederick, the city erected a costly eques- trian statue to his memory, laid out the pleasure grounds, and founded schools upen the strength of the Brunswickian heritage, valued at several millions of franes. Meanwhile the ‘‘agnates” of the Bruns- wick-Luneberg Ducal House took legal steps to dispute the validity of Duke Charles’s will, upon the ground that, at the time he executed that document he was ‘‘non compos mentis,” a circumstance which under the Brunswick State Laws of the 6th and 14th March, 1873, would render his testamentary dispositions null and void. The case thus raised has been tried before the Brunswick tribunals, which have given sentence agains! Geneva, de- claring his Highness’s will, under which that city claims his inheritance, to be in- valid. Geneva has signified her intention te appeal to still higher courts ; but, as it would appear the leading jurists of Ger- many are ef opinion that the decision of the Brunswick tribunals, will be in every re- spect confirmed. Should this prove to be the case, Geneva will have spent an enormous sum ef money in honor of Duke Charles, and to her own manifest embellish- ment ; but instead of deriving it from the proceeds of the celebrated Brunswick bril- liants, she will have to pay it out of her
own pocket.
