Stewart is in every way admirably adapted for his work. He possesses a well-balanced mind, a immature judgment, a strong charac- ter for impartiality and fine judicial power.

The book will be very popular, and Mr. Stewart's name will ensure to ita warm weleome from the people of Canada, who will always view with interest the suc- cesses which are in store for this bril- liant young author. We learn -that a handsome full page steel portrait of Lord Dufferin will form the frontispiece of the new volume. Mr. Stewart will spare no pains to make his work thoroughly reliable and trustworthy, and will write in a way which will add lustre to his name and reputation. We predict for it the most extensive sale of any book ever published in Canada. The popularity of the Governor General, the ability and liter- ary skill of the author and the well known liberality and taste of the publishers, will ensure that end. Prospectuses, showing the plan and scope of the work, will be in the hands of agents very shortly, when those of our readers who wish to be sup- plied with early copies will do well to snb- seribe at once.

In conjunction with this valuable work there will be published an elegant lithograph portrait of His Excellency, 24x30 inches, similar to those published in connection with The Atlantic Monthly, of the poets Longfellow, Whittier and Bryant, and will be sold to subseribers only, at the exceed- ingly low figure of 50 cents. The whole enterprise is certainly one deserving the highest praise.-—Nt. John Daily News, May

with the space beneath closely boarded. this space was the leaden pipe from the water closet, connecting with an earthen- ware pipe leading to the cesspool. Sea- weed hadbeen sometime used around these pipes to keep them from freezing. The ex- amination showed that through some cause, whether by frost, corrosion, or the knaw- ing of rats, the lower bend of the leaden pipe, leading from the water-closet, and which was intended to serre as a trap, had broken through, instead of being carried off, good part oozed through the hole in the pipe, and spread themselves over the soil and sea-weed, under this addition, to the extent of a square yard or more.

How this state of affairs could have exisied and not aroused attention by its smell it is not-necessary to discuss. This is what was found; six children are dead, and it is no stretch of the imagination to connect one circumstance with the other. It is not of- fensive matter of this kind alone that is to be found near houses, in both city and country. Many ahouse with a fine front yard has a faulty kitchen drain. Nor is diptheria the only diseases that is favored by such conditions; typhoid and other fevers may be directly traced to the want of proper care in carrying off the wastes of the house—too often country houses. So sad a warning should not be without its effect in exciting the watchfulness of house- holders over their water closets and drains, and especially the immediate investigation
