eel. ps tata tt | aS Suicide at Pictou: Picrov, Sept. 2.—This morning the body of a negro prisoner was found suspend- ed to the bars in the window of a cell in the Pictou jail. The man, named Joseph Martin Musgrove, had been confined in the jail for some weeks, awaiting trial ona charge of stealing a trunk of clothing. He belonzed to Vale Colliery, Pictou Co., was 33 years of age, and married. He was a desperate character, and his suicide will cause a feeling of relief in the village in which he resided. There is apperently no cause why the man should have committed the terrible deed. a se ee MISCELLANEOUS. A lawyer of Shelburne Falls, Mass., charged a poor widow $456 for his ser- vices in collecting a bill of $567. The total of the subscriptions collected in England for the widows and orphans} of those who died in Zululand amounts to $60,000—not a large amount, certainly. Fx-Alderman Rodden of Montreal, who some time ego retired from business at Montreal with a tortune estimated at $100,000 is in difficulty arising out of real estate depreciation. A Paris despatch says the movement for a treaty of commerce with the United States seems in a fair way to success. Twenty-five Chambers of Commerce in France voted in favor of such treaty. The oldest—in point of consecration — living Bishop in the Church of Rome, is Archbishop MacHale, of Tuam, Ireland. He was consecrated in 1825, under the Pontificate of Leo XII. The next oldest prelate, the Archbishop of Tyre, was con- secrated in 1826. Mr. Henry T. Rogers, who died ia Baltimore last Thursday, assisted Pro. tessor Morse in establishing the first tele- graphic line operated io this country, and received the famous message, ‘ What hath God wrought.’ He was 69 years old and was writing 4 bistory of telegraphy ut the time of his death. Sir Rutherford Aleock thinks that of all the victims insatiable Africa has claim- ed in the course of science and civilization Keith Johnson is one of the noblest, for ‘he was a young man of exceptionally high attainments and enthusiastic for the work, and had qualified himself for the mission in which he has fallen by the studies and training of a life time.’ Garibaldi has failed to obtain a release from his wife, who is described as a pretty noventity. ‘The great General had once a loca! mate, and if he has any faith in those reunions beyond the grave, such a man might well wish to die to meet again such a woman in Anita. He met her first at LaBarra, in South America, where she became his Amazon companion, riding by his side into battle, sharing with him his hardships and his glory, and at last dying in his arms, an angel of devotion and truth. Professor, Huxley, in an address before the London University school- boys, recently, said: ‘ Ifany-one of you prize winners were a son of mine (as might have been the case, | am glad to think, on former occasions), and a good fairy were to equip him according to my wishes for the battle of practical lite, 1 should say, ‘Ido not care to trouble you for any more cleverness ; put in as much industry as you can in- stead; and oh, if you please, a broad deep chest and a stomach of whose ex- istence he shall never know anything.’ Mr Archibald Forbes has been before Parliament. Sir Henry Havelock asking the Chancellor of the Exchequer whe- ther he would take into consideration the desirability of extending seme mark of favor to the Daily New’s correspon- dent ‘in recognition of the public sers= vices performed by him in being the bearer of the despatches of the success- tu! action at Ulundi, under circumstan- ces of considerable personal hazard, fatigue and endurance.’ The Chancel- lor of the Exchequer said the question should rather have been referred to the Secretary of war. The United Service Gazetie points out that there is ample precedent for giving the Victoria Cross to.a civilian for services performed in a civil capacity, and points out that Mr Forbes the first special correspondent that has been mentioned in despatches. --: ae +? > Boschees German Syrup can now be purchased right at-home, it is the mw st suecessful preparations ever introduced to our people.

Ihave waited this ong to see if the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy etlects seemed to me to be ‘‘too good reg td true.” I was afflicted in my head for years before | 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, { would feel like smotnering and be compelled to sit upin the bed. My health and spirits were seriously atlected. When your agent came to Walkertouwuim August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before [ had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle 1 found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third, I quit taking it, feeling quite cured of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some for a cold in my head, A sense of duty to suiferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send i this perenne, unsolicited, with leave to make whiat use of it yon may see pr Yours truly, . ° ee W.
