Souris, Jan. 22.

To-day, Souris’ harbor is quite clear of ice.

People here seem to be pretty unani- mously ef the opinion that the best route for the Nerthern Light, during winter, is be- tween Souris snd Cape George. They say that when the wind is right, a schooner

MISCELLANEOUS. It is common to speak of aman you admire as one haying a level head ; but unless a mal ; nba expects to stand on it, a level head 1s no bet ter than a round one.— New Orleans Picayune.

There were 2,640 births, 836 marriages and 1,441 deaths registered at the City Hall, To ronto, last year, against 2,637 births, 825 mar-

iages, and 1,465 deaths in 1878.

The level of the Lake of the Woods during the past summer was some ten feet lower than that of any known preceding year, and it is believed that its waters had found some new outiet.

A whale nearly fifty feet in length was killed in Charlestown (S. C.) harbor last week after an exciting chase, in which four steam tugs and fifty row boats took part. Its car- casses will yield $600 to $800 worth of oil.

At Hatton Italian Church, London, on the 10th inst., a priest was celegrating Mass, when a man in the audience fired a pistol at him. The church was crowded, and the ex- plosion caused a semi-panic; the altar was struck by the bullet. Subsequently flames started out from the side altar, and the church was damaged to the extent of $5,000.

long stiletto found on him, with which he at tempted to stab those who seized him.

A crime of peculiar atrocity is becoming alarmingly frequent in Canada within a re- cent period, and calls for prompt action on the part of the authorities. The sudden disap- pearance of young women, leaving no clue to i their fate, points to some dark and terrible phase of latter day turpitude. At Quebec a few days ago a young woman disappeared as if the gronnd had opened and engulfed her. Yesterday our despatches from Toronto re- counted a similar event. In both instances the missing ones possessed considerable per- sonal attraction, and nothing in their circum- stances of life sustains the idea that they com- mitted suicide er voluntarily fled from their homes. Such mysteries are exceedingly pain- ful, and seem to indicate that some diabolical agency is at work for purposes which can only be thought of with horror. The safety of society requires a solution of this dark problem. Ottawa Free Presa.

A Yankee manufacturer of heating ap paratus states that the curious fact that in New England the heat from a house furnace in cold weather passes readily from north to south or frem northwest to southwest. Only under very favorable circumstances will the heat pass in the contrary direction. It has been noticed that a room lying to the south of another room with a stove in it will be easily warmed while if a stove be placed in the south room the heat dves not penstrate into the north reom. The New Englander accounts for the fact by saying thet the heat inside the house fol- lows the direction of the prevailing winds outside, and the prevailing winter winds in New England are from the northward. Those who use stoves will do well to observe if their experience coincides herewith. The moving of the stove from the south to the north room may save a good deal of taxa tion just now.

A contributor to the American Naturalist, who had read a funny story about an owl’s wringing his own neck by looking at a man who was walking around him, tested the matter by experiment. He obtained a fine specimen and placed it on top of a post. “‘It was not difficult,” saysthe writer, ‘‘to secure his attention, for he never diverted his gaze from me while I was in his presence. I began walking rapidly round the post a few feet from it, keeping my eyes fixed upen it all the while. His body remained motionless, but his head turned exactly with my movements, When I was half way round his head was directly behind. Three quarters of a circle were completed and still the same twist of the

on every fine day ; and they urge that as the distance between the Cape and the Rail- way passing through Antigonish is but six iailes, and as Souris is the terminus of the Island Railway, connection could be more easily and cheaply kept up between these two points than between any other.

A very good comic variety entertainment was given in Agricultural Hall last even- ing, to the great amusement of the audi- euce. The talent engaged was purely native ; and though it was the first appear- ance of the actors, the performance was fully up to the average of those of travel- ling companies, and a very pleasant relief of the tedium of a dull winter even- ing. Those engaged in the play were the Messrs. Anderson, Cantwell, Fuller, Cheverie, Wiiite, Tierney, and others. Anderson (sen) did ‘* the comical” with the “ase of a professional, and proved that he has talents other than these required to raise ‘‘a hum” in the furniture Saekidel Cantwell and Anderson (jr.) sung several songs very wel; aud the gymnastic perform- ances of White and Chiverie were quite ar- tistic and gave infinite pleasure. The audience was composed of the elite of the tewn. The proceeds are to go towards the

and no change. On I went, twice round, and still that watchful stare and steady turn of the bead. On I went, three times round, and I began really to wonder why the head did not drop off, when all at once I discovered what J] failed to notice before. When [ reached half way round from the front, which was as far as he could turn his head to follow my meve- ments with comfort, he whisked it back through the whole circle so instaneously and brought it facing me again with such precision that I failed to detect the movement althorgh I was looking intently at the time. i repeated the experiment many times after- ward on the tame bird, and I had always to watch carefully to detect the movement of the readjustment of his gaze.”
