The matter uppermost in Haliiax at pre- sent is that in connection with the Public Schools. Messrs. O’Hearn and Mooney, assistants, reported their principals for novel reading in school hours.

{t is not true that his Excellency the Governor General intends shortly to visit England, nor is it true that he will visit the United States at present. He has been in- yited to shoot at the St. Clair Flats, but it is doubtful if he will accept the invitation.

Talmace, says the New York Graphic, has nearly restered the balance of trade between legs and brains. He talked in England, and returns with nearly $25,0€0 ; Rowell walked in New York and pocketed that amount of money. Legs and brains are equalized. °

The Pull Mall Gazette mentions as an evi- dence of the eagerness of the American de- mand for iron that one of the principal rail- ways just sold for American account 30,000 tons of old iron rails at £4 per ton or about the price new rails commanded about two

months ago.

It is estimated that the damage by recent floods in Spain will amount to 15,000,000 esetas. A Madrid despatch says the floods is extended Andalusia, Malaga, Alicante

and Murcia.

the subsidence of the floods in the Province of Murcia thirty dead were found. It is believed 100 persons perished.

Twenty-four States of the American Union, principally in the South and West, have adopted the system of biennial ses- sions, finding it worse than useless to assemble their Legislatures every year when there is little for them to do but repeal, amend and remodel previous legislation. Our own local Administration finds it in- creasing|y difficult to cut out work enough for the Legislature to give them a colour- able pretext ‘or drawing their very liberal pay and mileage, and complaints of the meagveness of the annual bill of fare have become stereotyped. It is worth consider- ing whether the biennial system might not advantezeously be adopted.

It is rather funny that some of the lead- ing French journals should take the alleged candidacure of Victoria Woodhull for the Presidency of the United States au serieux. La Liberte, an enthusiastic Liberal news- paper, ia a long editorial on the subject, en- quires: ‘Why is it that France is so in- different to the affairs of the great world —so ignorant of its heroes and heroines— so unconscious of the neighborhvod of the marvelous Victoria Woodhull, who, after thrilling the souls of the phlegmatic Britisher, and taking by storm the free and en)ightened States of America, is, per- chance, soon to be raised to the highest dignity in her native land ; to become the equal and sister of another Victoria ; and te inaugurate a new era of intelligent re- form and philosophical deliverance from

rejudices?’ Other French papers discuss cor chances from and equally serious stand- int. It is hardly a matter for surprise, owever, when we consider that some Can- adian journals which certainly should be bettor informed, have wasted virtuous in- dignation upon the fair Victoria under the supposition that she was a bona fide candi-

late.

It is amusing to see how one by one John Bull has to give up his prejudices. Can- adian clueese at first fetched no price, and was tabooed As unfit for a gentleman’s table in Eng iand, their own Stiltons, Gloucesters and Cheddars, being the only kinds fer which sales could be found. Canadian beef was sold to poor people at extremely low prices, and fer some years failed to find its way into the houses of the fastidious.

PRINCIPAL:

The Rev, John Padfield.

YHIS 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 ahd 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- ing masters.

-arisienne French is taught conversation- ally. ‘Where are two resident French Gov- ernesses.

Hear wiat a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Ren.edy.

T. J. B. Harprye, Esq., Brockville, Ont. :—

Dear Sir—It is now two years since your ‘Oenstitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced tome. I have waited this ong to see if the cure would remain permanent beiore do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy eflects seemed to me to be ‘‘too good to true.”

1 was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular I saw my case described in many par ticulars. ‘The inward ‘drop’ from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, I would feci like smothering and be compelled to sit upin the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertownin August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third, | quit taking it, feelisig quite cured of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late | have taken some for a cold in my head,

A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper Yours truly,

W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister.
