Among the most importext testimony was that given by Hannah Carr, who was in the prisoner's house at the time of the shooting. i ques that she heard the parties at the door swear that, if the door was not opened, they would set fire to the house and burn it up, and that she heard a rattling as though a heavy weight were coming against the door, The trial will probably be finished to-day. _- ~>- Messrs. D. McEwen & Son, of the Kingston Foundry, Kingston, Ont., writes : ** We have much pleasure in stating that the sample of the Sand Blast Files, manufactured by Sanderson Bros., of Sheffield, is really, without exception, the best file we have ever used. It seems almost impossible to wear it out, although the file looks somewhat worn after havin, had very hard usage. The first job it was put at was dressing off the valve face of a 60 horse power engine, which every person knows is almost impossible to cut. It did its work well, and, although somewhat worn, it is better now than two thirds of any other make of files we can get.” Norton Bros., are agents for the Patent Sand Blast Sharpen- ed File so highly spoken of in the above. -_— >-— Fine Nores.—The loss of J. D. McLeod, Esq., was much greater than stated in our issue of yesterday. Besides the stock, which we estimated rather low, Mr. McLeod lost three leaseho!d properties, viz: the new addi- tion to the store forty-four by forty feet, two} . stories high, valued at $1,000, the police station, which we incorrectly stated belonged to Miss McGill, and the stable in its rear, These were not insured, and, with a number of other things we might mention, incur a heavy loss on Mr. McLeod. * * * We learn that Miss McGill will immediately com- mence the construction of a three storey wooden store on the corner. It will be forty- four feet broad by ninety-two feet long. Mr. McLeod expects to resume basiness in it within six weeks. * * * The police are now stationed in the store lately occupied by C. F. Harris on Queen Street. They will remain there unti! a new station is ready on the old site. * * * Dr. Jenkins, who is a heavy sufferer by the fire, has his office for the present at Medical Hall. - * The Chief Engineer requests jus to tender the thanks of the Fire Department to Mrs. Dr. Taylor for the lunch supplied to the fire- men after the fire on Sunday night.

The train despatcher from New Haven, Ky., says the train on the Knoxville branch went through a bridge at that place on the evening of the 22nd. About five spans of the bridge gave way, precipitating the engine and two cars a distance of 50 feet. Engineer Robert Atkinson, the fire- man and a brakesman are reported fatally injured. The Paris Journal des Debats hopes that the appointment of M. Waddington as French Ambassador to Great Britain will dispel the present difference between the two nations. It says that France will then be able to pursue her colonial policy and prove that it satisfies her ambition. All useless precautions against ber will then fall tothe ground. She loves peace at home and needs it abroad. At Alexandria all business and agricul- ture have been suspended. The customs reeeipts are decreasing in amount. Two months’ delay in legal judgments have been granted. In the interior the rinderpest is worse. The natives continue to eat dis- eased meat. Cholera has appeared at Dam- anhour, where crowds of people, unable to pass through the cordons, are collected to- gether and badly lodged and fed. M. Challemel Lacour, replying in the Senate on the 2lst toa question by Duc de Broglie (Orleanist), said that France had not declared war against Annam. There was no thought as yet of establishing a blockade in Annamese waters, but France would do so if any other power should supply Annam with arms and ammunition. The Teeduc had not declared war against France; on the contrary he had aroused respect for existing treaties between France and Annam. The London Daily News, referring to the Suez Canal negotiations, says that Sir Charles Rivers Wilson found M. deLesseps willing to yield something on points relative to the tariff and a number of British directors, but M. deLesseps was not sufficiently liberal. The question arises whether or not it is advisable to suspend discussion of the subject until next session of Parliament. It is likely that deLesseps will agree in the meantime not to push the construction of the canal, There were thirty-nine deaths from yellow fever in Havana during the week ended on the 22nd. The butcher and coal passer on }the steamer City of Washington died from the fever. One of the two sick passengers removed from the steamer is Gen. E, O. C. Ord, who ia dangerously ill. He and the others down with the fever, have been laced in a private hospital « ° * The State Department at Washington is inform- ed by the U. 8. Conaul General at Havana, that eleven of the passengers of the steamer City of Washington, from Vera Cruz, were taken ashore at Havana sick with yellow fever and that five of the eleven died afte being landed. The coffins in which victims of cholera are buried in Cairo, are covered with only a few inches ofearth. The Minister of the Interior declines to interfere to compel a safer interment of the bodies. * * ° The European volunteer committee has discov- ered that a canal which supplies a crowded quarter of Cairo with drinking water com- municates in the native cemetery, with a place used for washing corpses. ir A sanitary commission compesed of Sir Evelyn Wood, Baker Pasha and Gen.

A great quantity of tar is burned in Cairo every night, ' Fifteen hundred inhabitants of Bullak have been removed up the Nile. Owners of burned houses will be indemnified.

[july23 2w eod wkly A certain English investigator, after an extended search for the origin of the names of certain popular drinks, concludes that ‘grog’ is but an abbreviation of grogram, a mixed stuff of Angora goat’s hair and silk. Admiral Edward Vernon, who died in 1757, had his breeches made of grogram, and so came to be known as “Old Grog among the sailors. Before his time, Jack had his rum neat, but about 1745 Admiral Vernon ordered water mixed with it before it was served out, and the diluted rations were at onée nicknatied roy.” THE DAILY EXAMINER, JULY 2 C'assical Bducation. | Lcannot but feel how singalarly privi- ‘leged the present generation is in the studies they are invited to pursue. lo my | time, and before my time, for I was just at the end of the darker period, there were only two possible lines of study—classics and mathematics. Mathematics was looked upon in many quarters with considerable jealousy and doubt. Classics was the one food tendered to all appetites and all stomachs. I do net wish to say a word in deprecation of classics. It would be as sensible to speak in deprecation of wheat and oats because wheat wiil not grow in the north of Scotland, and oats will not grow at the equator. But people are coming gradually, if they have not come fully, to the conclusion that the intellectual capacity is as various as any other of nature’s creations, and that there are as many different kinds of minds open to as many different kinds ot treatment, as there are soils on the surface of the earth, and that itis as reasonable to try to force all minds to grow classics, or to grow mathe- matics, or to grow history, as it would be to force all soils to grow fruit, or grasa, or corn. This is an enormous gain to the present generation. For what happened in the last generation, or two generations ago, was this, that those minds which were titted for education in classics received full development, while those minds not; fitted for that treatment were stunted and turned from intellectual pursuits alto- gether.. There is no greater privilege of the present generation than the full conception at which we have arrived of the fact that almost every intellect is, if it be properly treated, capable of high development. Buty whether that development be reached or not depends upen the judgment with which its capacities are nurtured, and its early efforts encouraged. Now, in this list, I am very glad to see that modern history and the English language and literature occupy a very dstinguished position. I see that divinity also occupies a _ prom- inent position, and though we have recently had it laid down on_ high authority that theology and astrology are very much ona par, that conviction, I am happy to see, has not penetrated within these walls. In reference to the teaching of classics, I observe that while there is a prize for Latin prose there is no prize for Latin verse, and that strikes me as proof of the great educational superiority ef the present age over the past. I have the greatest possible respect for the educational establishments in which I was brought up, but I never look baek with- out a feeling of some bitterness to the many hours during which I was com- pelled to produce the most execrable Latin verse in the world. I believe that if a com- mission of distinguished men were ap- pointed to discover what is the most per- fectly useless accomplishment to which the human mind can be turned, a_ large majority would agree that versification in the dead languages was that accomplish- ment.
