Now, when the summer over, and a winter campaign campaign is i3 about to make up a debtor and creditor account, showing how much has been so far lost, and how mach gained, by a peculiarly Christian and hu- manitarian war. Wado not pretend that the recknoning is complete; possibly a few items have to be added, but this our readers must do for themselves. On the one side we have :— 1. A hundred thousand men, or there- about, slaughtered, gashed, and mutilated. 2. ‘Tens of thousands more dead of col i, fatigue, privation, and disease. 3. Very many others suffering from the same ills (‘Trains of sick are passing to the Danube by a thousand carts at a time.’’) 4. Home suffering to any degree within the compiss of human imagination, occa- sioned as above in hundreds of villages and towns. 5. Steady wholesale destruction, through overwork, want of food, and the engines ol War, amongst good useful beasts (these creatures being incapable of any entiusi- asms of humanity.) 6. The crops, cattle, farm houses of whole provinces ravaged and destroyed. Hundreds of villages burnt, and their in habitants (such as have escaped murde:) adrift on the world, 7. Whole populations instructed in raps and massacre as a means of securing civi and religious liberty; and practising the same. 8. All the waste of material which ac- conipanies waste of life in warfare. Ad- dition to analreafy grinding taxation to make good this waste asit occurs. The certainty that increased taxation will be continued long after the war, to refurni«b empty stores and arsenals and to ‘ reor ganize’, shattered forces. And a vast ins calculable loss in trade and industry. 9. The rekindling. throughout yast re» gions and over several populations, of the most atrocious ofall ferocities, religious hate. 10. The evil, whatever it may amount to, of familiarizing mankind once more with the worst savageries of ancient, un- civilized wariare, with wholesale slaughter, and the most reckless use of men’s lives. 11. The spectacle of lying, hypocrisy. and rapacity passing for truth, virtue and self-sacrifice. ; he On the other side we have to reckon :— 1. The lessons brought home to Turkey, and the prospect that that empire, fist lapsing into corruption and desuetude, may become purified and invigorated, 2. The solace of knowing that a large partofthe money lost to Turkish bond. holders has so far ensured the protection of British interests. 3. The disosvery of the true use ani purpose of autonomous provinces, and the explosion of various blunders and lies as to the condition of the Christian peasantry ot Turkey. 4. The unveiling of a vast deal of poli- tical imposture abroad, and the timely detection of much dangerous nonsense at home. ° o. Certain provinces, already blessed with a fruitful soil, made more fruithful tor the future by the ashes of burned crops and the bodies of slain men. 6. A large percentage of profit for seves ral rich contractors. — °° /_om +... ——— The London ‘ Lumber Trades’ Journal ”’ says that the stocks in London from North America do not increase, while deals from the North of Europe are accumulating largely. It says: ~ ‘* The stock of pine and epruce deals on the ist of October iast year in the docks of London consisted of 3 048 847 pieces, this year only 2.658,540 pieces: or about 390... 00) sbort of last year’s October stock, and as itis now admitted that there was no exs cess last year, it is not unlikely that a brisk trade will be done in these goods between this and the spring. ‘The stock of New Brunswick spruce deal; in Liverpool on the 29th September amounted to 18.7949 standards, and the consumption for the month was [0 57] standards. The total consumption from February Ist has been 59953 standards, Tae stock of birch amounted to 255.000 feet, and the consumption tor the month was 79,000. ‘‘At Newcastle-on-Tyne, the arrivals of timber, we are told, have been very large, but, as trade was quite active, prices were maintained. The timber was rapidly going into consumption and stocks were small. At Bristol, the importation of wood goods had also been heavy, chietly from Canada, ‘anias the trade was quiet, stocks were accumulating with a fair demand for spruce deals and birch. At Glasgow, the arrivals had been numerous, mainly with deals from Quebec and Miramichi, and the mur- ket was abundantly supplied,” - es ee ~ Att Tats Wortp Can Givyg.—A picture of happiness, supreme and complete, is an Indian lad witb two hats on his head, a man’s boot on one leg, 1 woman’s gaiter on the other, and a flag of truce fluttering in the wind from a breach in his rear ins trenchments, as he skips along trying to fly a white boy’s discarded kite, and both iynorant and unmindful of the philosophy of the taii to the kite.

A confirmation of the strange report that a shower of fish had fallen on the fourth Concession of Harwich township is given hy a school teacher of the neighborhood who, in a letter to the London Free Press testifies to what he &aw, as follows :— ‘‘ Having dismissed the children for the day, I Was rétursing to my boarding place when, with a side giance, | discovered something in the grass. At first I thought it was some species of rattlesnake but upon more careful scrutiny, [ found it was a fine, firm, fresh fish of the pickered species. Having been brought up at the seashore | knew at once the fish was good, and picked it up, while wondering whence it game, My astonishment was increased, however, when, stepping on a few yards further, [ found another equally good. A few steps iurther, and one more and then -1 thought | ought to return t+ the echoolsroom for some paper in which to wrap them, On entering the room { seized (rather thoughtlessly you wilt say) one of the pails; and proceeded to collect fish. _ When! had more than halt. filled the pail, I saw a man in the distance carrying some fish, and, supposing the mystery Was abont to be solved, | waited his approach. 1 dropped the pail and felt somewhat guilty for having appropriated the fish, till, relieved by his assuring me that he had gathered up also those bad in the sie Way, and that he had just been culling the largest of them, He observed ‘ These are as g90d and fresh as money t I filled the pail, not only to the brim, but'up the whole height of the handle, and having deposited moy burden naturally, in the farmhouse Where I board, I returned to collect the remainder, When { had finished my task, I assure you that I felt fatigued [he work had occu. pied half an hour. ais fa)! of fish ex- tended ‘about three quarters of a mile On the same evening one of the maids was sent for the cows to a field about half a mile from my boarding hou-e. She also returned: laden with tish that she had picked up in a similar Way. This girl re. ported that she had left Others behind her which she could not conveniently carry to the house. The lady, with her maids pres pared the dish “ the same eveuing tor drying and smoking, and they were subjected to this Process next day. The circumstance, you will admit, is unique | @part from its strange surroundings, and [ cannot but think the correspondent of the * Rondeau News’ did not err much in res porting it. As to whether these now fa- mous fishes foll eix feet or six Shaiaenacl ‘ know not. One thing { know, that they were scattered for a distance of about th quarters of a mile, and that, at least, to ‘ Knowledge, three persons gathered them.” eet asta oe Miscellaneous News. or ee WI I MIU EP WP rLE Le Several vessels from Montreal have taken out large quantities of potatoes, but it it is doubtful whether severa) cargoes naw afloat will be permitted to land, there ae so much dread of the Colorado bet- tie.

At a recent meeting of the (Scotland) Town Council, a fierce arose as to whether, on the Mond before election, the members sho themselves to pie and porter at the ex. pense of the burgh. Such had been the custom from time immemorial until 1874 when, alter a desperate contest, the «No Pie’ faction triumphed. On a division there were only five members of eleyen— aad among them were the Bailie, the Dean of Guild and the Treasurer—in fayor of’ ‘pie and porter,” and it was resolved that the members should -hereafter refresh themselves at their own expense, {n an article on rheumatism, published in the “Canadian Lancet,” for November, Dr. A. H. Chandler, of Dorchester, New Brunswick, says ;— Selkirk dispute ay night uld treat * I weually begin with at least ten ounces of lime juice, increasing rapidly up te eighteen or twenty four, in the 24 hours— from haif an ounce to aa ounce, or more every hour, with not less than double or treble the quantity of cold soft water, Very often, on the second day, the amend. ment is decided, and the disease, in acute cases, more particularly sthenic or asthen- ic, generally subsides on the fourth or fifth day of treatment. The first effect of such heavy doses is the rapid diminution of joint swelling and diminished prespiration, together with steady falling of pulse, the latter often quite slow, with a slight tend- ency to syncope, the majority of the cases requiring quivine, and supporting food about the sixth or seventh day, when con. valescence advances rapidly.” oh ail BOE A, ye ee . — EO SE DI ager tian Beas bag SE BESET Bo, Meee y Samieaewea ccs ee
