Miss McGarry.—Speaking of a recent re- cital of this popular reader, in Boston the Herald of that city says: ‘‘ The rendering of Tennyson's ‘‘ Rizpah ’ was one of the finest, if not the best ever given here, the pitiful and awful story being given with much dramatic power. The lady, while giving evidence of careful study and thorough training, has yet reserved a naturalness and charm in her art which in these days of varied schools of elo- cutionary training, is indeed rare, and of ir- resistable charm.” Miss McGarry gives one of her choicest recitatls in the Y.

Bap Besste.—Some time ago a Pictou girl named Bessie McKenzie was sent to Rock- head prison, Halitax, for six months, for stealing a silk dress from Mrs. Holland. She escaped in a few days and went to service with a Mrs. Fraser, in Dartmouth, from whom she stole another supply of clothing and decamped. Then she went to a Mrs. Bissett’s, in the same town, worked there for a short time and then left with $50 worth of Mrs. B.’s best clothes. This time Bessie walked to Bedford, boarded a train there and repaired to the home of her childhood in Pictou for # vacation. She returned to Halifax on Monday, was captured by Detect- ive Power and returned to her home at Ro ck- head.

Towar ds the spring symptoms of consumption showed themselves inthe young wife, and a short time afterwards the disease. proved fatal. Her husband during her sickness could hardly be consoled and when his young partner breathed her last he acted like a mad man. For a little while he was soothed by the kind words of friends, but finally he completely ave way to his feelings and became a lunatic. fre has now to be watched day and night by his friends and no hopes are entertained ot his recovery. It is the intention of his relatives to make application for his admission to Mount Hope Asylum.
