Fire at Bradaibane.

Tas thriving village of Bragalbane las azain been visited by a mostgdestructive fire which totally consumed four buildings and two mills, and involved a loss of eight thousand dellars on the owners. The fire was discovered at three o’clock yesterday morning. At the time of discovery, the shingle mill, the saw mill, and the resi- dence of Mr. Charles Murray wree on fire. The wind was blowing very strong at the time, and the fire was carried to the. build- ings in the vicinity of the mills, and con- sumed the dwelling house and warehouse lately occupied by Mr. James Holmes, and a vacant dwelling house owned by Mr. he railway station caught but the flames were promptly extinguished. Very little fur, niture was saved from the residences burned. All, with the exception of Mr. Stewart, are lightly insured. It was only on Friday last that Bradalbane was visited by the fire fiend, when the mills of Mr. John Gillis were totally destroyed.

The Russian Government have published the ‘* Act of Accusation” against the Tekke T'urcomans Capt. Kuropatkins, who acted as Adjutant of General Skobeloff in Centra) Asia and the Balkans, in an article of the official Voyenni Sbornik,has been per- mitted to explain Russia’s reasons for the poogvt expedition. Russia, we are told,

aving occupied Krasnoyodsk, was anxious to secure the Yonut Turcomans wandering in that neighborhood from the in:oids of the Tekke. The negotiations carried on for this purpose with the Western or Akhul Tekke, promised to produce a satisfactory result when the Eastern or Merv Tekke sent a _ special mis sion to their Western brethren, forbid- ding any friendly dealings with tle Russians. On this occasion the Merv Tekke begged to inform the Akhul Tekke that being in constant receipt of excellent weapons via Herat, they were in a position to protect them from Russians, or to des- troy them if they were disobeyed. So

great was the impression wrought by this threatening message, that when, a year later, in the sum-

mer of 1877, the Russians marched upon Kisil Arvat, they were resisted by the | very tribes who had previously entered into | relations with them. The compulsory re- | treat of the Russians from Kisil Arvat was succeeded by the Akhul Tekee penetrating|

repeatedly as far as Krasnovodsk. Then | Russia determined upon the campaign}

| opened nine months ago; which, so iar, at any rate, has yielded no result.

One of the Bishops of the Church of England says it would be mockery to keep the thanksgiving feasts this year in the face of the general failure of, the crops. The Archbishop of Dublin, on the other hand, says the Church should give thanks in adversity as well as in prosperity.

Bishop Ellicott views with hopefulness the future of the Church of England. Al- though there are some signs of restlessness now, he believes that two years of rest would make it the strongest, most power- ful, and most united church the world has ever known. He strongly opposes any re- vision of the Prayer-book.

There are in the Church of England only 13,750 benefices, while the number of clergymen is 23,000 or 24.000. Of the 10,- 000 unbeneficed . clergymen, more than 1,000 bishops, says Bishop Fraser, have served for 15 years or more, and many will never be promoted, although they do their duty faithfully and diligently.

The Bishop of Manchester said, in a re*

tolerant, large-hearted, even-handed, : d |

Not less than 30,817 francs.was raised by the mem- bers last year, including 3,575 francs for foreign, and 1,710 francs for home mis- sions.

The report of the American Board for thé South Sea Islands state that in one is- land of 1000 inhabitants there are 250 church members ; in another, every adult is acemmunicant, and in the Matlock Is- lands, native Christians, but two or three years out of heathenism, are . building churches and schools, and meeting all the expenses of their teachers.

St. George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, has been re-opened after renovation. A beau- tiful memorial of the late King of the Bel- gians has been placed in the Chapel by the Queen, bearing the inscription :— “Erected by Her Majesty Queen Victoria, in loving memory of Leopold, the first King of the Boigians, who was a father to her as she was to him a daughter.”
