Last year the town of Fairville was swept by fire and some forty buildings dex troved Yesterday the burnt which had been almost entirely rebuilt, was again swept. This time a «mall tioo of the territory previously burned over escaped, but the fire went further up town and covered a larger area toward the rail way and river.

LETTER FROM T. C. JAMES.

Sin,—I notice in the Report of the Bayr tist Association, published in our city papers, that Rev. £, A. Gordon is reported as saying, “that the Baptist was the only denomination that had made any progress during the last deeade in P. E. Island.” | am qnite prepared to admit that taking the census of 188] and & Baptist increase (excluding free will Baptists) of 161, or 2.88 per cent, for the ten years, while it shows a Presbyterian decrease (excluding reformed and other Vreebyverians) of 320, or .96 of 1 per cent fur the same period. As it is now pretty

well understood that a different system of

census taking was followed on these two oceasions, it is hardly safe to build mach on such small figures

Taking the statistics, which are made up year by vear for presentation to the Genera] Assembly of the Presbyterian tuureh in Canada, I find that the figures for the year 1892 as compared with 1882 are as follows; 1882—Congregation, 27; families, 2,754; communicants, 3,560; children’s Sabbath schools, 2,817; minis ter’s salaries, 15,135; mission schemes, S212; raised for all purposes, 26,979, §892~—Congregation, 34; families, 3,427; communicants, 5,142; children’s bath se hools, 4,393; minister's salaries, 22,600; mission schemes, 6,911; raise! = =6for all purposes, 49,823.

This would show if any lead, mereury or - antimony were present, bunt there was none of either I submitted part of the vomited matter to dialy-is—a_ process for separating organic matter. The results were submitted (o various tests, but I found nothing poixonons, Inone of the tests I found traces of iron. All the tests in res- pect to the vomited matter showed nega- tive results. On the Sth of May [ opened the jar marked “ stomach ” and poured a portion of the contents into a separate ves- vel. I then placed the stomach and contents intoa clean vessel. The weight was 18 onnees, I tested the solution and found a slightly alkaline reaction. I then allow- ed the eontents of the stomach to run into a clean glass dish. The stomaeh eontain- ed slimy mucous and watery matter of

[ placed the stomach on a glass ond ex- amined the interior surface with a lens. I noticed that the stomach was inflamed, especially near the end. Ty places it was corrugated or drawn up ‘in ridges, at which places the surface of the stomach was of a grev or leaden eolor. IT found several pieces of solid matter clinging to interior surface, This was almost eatirely in the hollows or corrngations. There were pieces of egg shell. I noticed especially two semi-ervstalline masses visible to the naked eye, and three small bunches of « white slimy substance similar in appearance to the other, but more like powder, The large piecestwere of crystalline substance, Their ends were broken and rounded. The volor was white and they were translucent. The crystals would retleet light when placed in the sun’s light. This small substance I preserved carefully between watch gla-ses for further examination, marking them “erystalline substances from the coating of the stomach.” ] placed the stomach in a jar and the contents remaining in another glass jar and affixed labels thereto. On the #th of May I opened the jar containing the contents of the stomach and removed about one-third.

| [ placed this latter ina glass flask with

water, filied the glass about one-third full and added hydroeloric acid, Then | added a little chloride of potash, heated it and allowed the chlorine to escape. I added still water and placed it in a filter, Any metallic salts present would now be in the liquid part. I bad not added any metal»—nothing but chloride of potash. Any metals present must have come from the contents of the stomach. I am positive of this. I then applied Marsh’s test. I lirst tested the reagents and found that the materials were pure. the suxpected matter from the stomach. The mirrors I got proved that either arsewie Or antimony was in the stomach. There eonid be wo doubt about that. The quantity | could aot tell, Phen one of the stains was heated ina non-luminous blue

| gas flame, which gives heat, but not light,

The consequence was that the stain went off very slowly. In case of arsenic it would go off quickly 1 wee, therefore, led to suppose that the substance was antimony. I then dissolved the stain in some am montis, The stains were washed off and the solution was of ay orange red color. This proved that it was not arsenic and that it was antimony.

On the 13th of May I took a third part ofthe stomach and submitted it to tests, (description of tests was here detailed to the court) and proved that it contained antimony and mercury. [also took a por tion of the liquor in which the stomach had been placed and found volatile poisons. On the 13th of May I took one-half of one of the kidney=, reduced it to a, pulp and applied several tests, which indicated that antimony and mercury were both pre- sent, Next Ltook the other kidney and put it through the same process, obtaining the same result.

Adding known quantities of antimony aud mercury I obtained the correct results.

Then I took one-third of the liver and obtained the same results as in the previous tests. This
