June 13, 1877.—4i THE MONTENEGRIN WARRIORS. | The Montenegrin army is described by a | correspondent of the London » Zines as a mass of tatterdermalions, In the ranks a majority are more or less ragged, and the | battalions in their ranks do not trouble themselves much with being in exact line | or keeping any particular position, sithough | uo army drill could secure more absolute obedience to any order. Lite at the head~ juarters of the Prince of Montenegro is an homeric study. When in the morning the Prince appears, @ line is formed instantly and all uncover, while he takes his walk up and down the terrace. As he walks along the line, novand then aman runs forward, catches the hand of the Prince, and kisses it, dropping back into his place, and then another and an- other, the ruler accepting the homage with a manner which has a great fascination for the simple minded folks, with a emile, a word of interest, in some cases a question as to their affairs; for he knows it is said every head of a family in his dominions persoually and by name, and occasionally breaks his promenade to enter into conver- sation mure seriously, or even to provoke a general discussion, when a circle rapidly forms around him to listen and take part. There is nothing servile in their manner even to him, but the most unbounded rev- erence and devotion. It 1s a favorite amusement of him to wake up the emula. tion of his men, by talking to some of them of some heroic deed he has done, and pro- voking comparisons when a contest of pre- tensions to equal or greater merits began, every man considering him elf entitled to push his claims, which he does in no vain- glorious way, but. by recounting what “he nas done, As they are surrounded b witnesses of the deeds, no man dares exaggerate his exploits, and the crowd con- firms. These are the warriors who are now renewing, in Western Turkey, the battle which they have waged with the Turks for four centuries. —_-— —--—- —» ++ «> -o @-———- -—— DON COSSACK IN THE FIELD, The most picturesque figure in the Rus- sian army is the Don Cossack, with his long black lanea and his devil-may-care face. A co! respondent of the London News de- scribes him as a practical philos#®pher of a manly, self-reliant, and halfscynical type. The Cossacks ride through Bucharest—fel- lows who never sawa town in their lives beiore—as if it were Saokt-altrncce cus- tom to make a. promenade On its asphalt ; they are always civil although punctilious in the performance of their. duty, and they keep sover when billeted in a public- house, : with money in their pockets and a score of civilians around them eager to stand treat. While riding between Bucharest and Olten- itzs, this correspondent met a pair of these warriors jogging along with this peculiauly reckless, freevand-easy air which seems the universal characteristic of the Cossack. They mu:t have been wet to the skin; they were uncommonly muddy; they probably had slept in the field; it was a faint chance that for hours together they would see any one to whom they could make themselves intelligible; they could not tell the name of the place whither they were bound nor the army corps to which they belonged: they were, in short, the merest waifs and strays on the great Wallachian plain, and yet they ‘cocked their caps and cracked their whips, and swazgered generally witb as much aplomb as if they owned half Wal- lachia. Farther on a troop of Cossacks was in bivouac in a field close to the road. The rain had drowned out the fires, and the ground was kneesdeep in mud; but the Cossacks were not dispirited by their ungenial condition. With some straw and some branches they had thrown up shelters against the wind, and in the lea of these they squatted on stones, singing lustily to the accompaniment furnished by one of their number, who whistled more shrilly than any London street Arab. Several lay -tretched in the mud, with the rain stream- ing down upon them. *_eef->— "4 BRUTAL ASSAULT. The St. Catharine’s /eview has the fol- lowing: - ‘One of the most brutal assaults it has ever been our duty to chronicle was perpetrated on Wednesday, about 4 p.m., on the line of the Great Western railway, and between St. Catharines and Merritton. The particulars are briefly these—we omit the evidence, it is altogether unfit for print :—About the hour stated, one Daniel Rose and his wife, the former about twenty~ four years of age, and the latter twenty, both strangers from the State of New York, and in quest. of work, were accosted by three strangers near the swing brid ge on the railway, and interrupted by abusive lan- guage. At this the third party wert away, and the otber two, named respectively James Green. a tailor, living near Lock 4, and Morris Freel, a laborer from Thorold, an old gaol bird, pursued; and after travel- ling a few rods, Rose and his wife were again overtaken and assaulted, Rose was detained by Green, and the woman was dragged down the embankment by Freel. She escaped a couple of times, and was as often overtaken and dragged down again. Rose was threatened, and. at this, instead of remaining to make the best fight pos-~ sible in aid of bis wife, went in search of the police. His mission was unsuccessful, and on his return he found that his wife had been held by Green and gagged and outrage twice in the most shocking manner (according to the evidence) by Freel. The two scoundrefs mace for the city, where they were bot: arrested, LOSS OF THE ** SAN FRANCISCO.” A Panama desprich of the I1th inst.

It is possible the sh’p might have been pas-ing at the time the tide was lower'ng. ATHEISM AT YALE AND HARVARD COLLEGES, You remember that when Timothy Dwight began his career at Yale College in 1795, only one student out of the whole undergraduate student-hip of that univers sity remained at the Lord’s Supper. Young men there were accustomed to name them. selves after French infidels. lhe college was full of unreportable vices. Those were the days, says Lyman Beecher, who was then in college, when boys, as they dressed flax in the barn, read Tom Paine and be- lieved him. For a long period our Jand had been full of enthusiasm for France. Jefferson had ‘ust come to the presidential chair. There was hardly a leading indivi- dual in public life in his administration who held what are now called evangelicu Opinions. President Dwight met the senior class at New Haven, and they presented to him the question of the inspiration of the Scriptures. He discussed it: he heard them oppose what he regarded as Christian established truth; he urged them to be thorough ; he listened to their best attacks patiently, and answered them fully and fairly. For six months he d-liyered mas- sive courses of thought against sciolism in religious science; and from that time infi- delity ran into hiding-holes in Yale College. Havard University, over yonder,—dear tome as my Alma Mater, as are the ruddy drops that visit this sad heart,—was as full as Yale with the unrest of this French scep- ticism atthe end of the Revolution. La, fayette turned the whole heart o! our peo- ple toward France. Young men _ over yonder used to name themsclves after the French infidels. The atrociousiy shallow and unclean, but brilliant and audacious, Parisian intidelty of the period, «a scheme of thought which we now regard with pty. and which no scholar cares to hear hamed, was then attractive even to scholarly under- graduates. Harvard never had a /’resident Dwight to take the poison of our French period out of her veins. In that fact be gins the history of Boston sceptic.sm. That is frank speech; it is not bitter. It is the sad truth; but it will do to tell this now and here, for we have slowly overgrowa the poison. _- — ROUMANIA., Roumania, like Servia, is not finding the patronage of Russia the most agreeable thing in the world. Twenty-eight out of thirty-three districts are now declared to be in a state of s ege, so that there can be punishment by death which is forbidden by the Civil Law. Some eftonts by the Roum wian authorities to resist the contro! which the Russians wanted within the State resulted in such coolness that the Grand Duke Nicholas would not notice the Rou. manian Prime Minister and Minister of War when they went to see him. A min- Ority of the Rcumanians were oppo;ed to sucha close alliance as there now is with Russia, but they were not in a position to make their influence felt. This dislixe will increase and extend in consequence of what bas taken place since, for the Rou- minians are naturally a mild, peaceful peo- ple, and will not relish vigorous warlike measures. ‘The atrocities in Bulgaria did not arouse any feeling amoogst thenr which could not be controlled, a3 they did amongst the Montenegiins, and some of the people of Servia, although they are much nearer, both in race and geographi cal position. They will never count for very much in any strugg'e so far as the in. itiative depends upon themselves. They might, however, form an effective part of any armyif well drilled and equipped. The joy which they are said to have dis played when recently incorporated with the Holy Army of Russia by a special de- cree will probably be moderated whea they learn a little of what actual fighting really is. The Servians are of a much fiercer dis- position, but a few months of war anda few battle-fields quite convinced a large proportion of them that they would rather till their fields and tend their cattle than fight the Moslem Turks. THE DUNKIN ACTIN BRANT. It will scarcely be necessary to say to those who were present in Brantford on Thursday of last week, that the Dunkin Act lately passed in that County, so far as Brantford is concerned, is most emphati ally a dead letter. Had the most liberal license law in the world been in full force, it is hard to conceive that liquors of all kinds could have been more plentiful. The Brantford. Exposiior, in an article on, the Dunkin Act, says in regard to its working : —* 1t has been a theme of general remark that a greater number of persons he”e been seen On our streeis more or less uader the influence of liquor since the first of May than was the case previously. from the 9th’of May up to} r ere | *Seooner Bevesca Bartielt on the 15th ult,, picked upon (rand Banks by the rig Catherine, Captain Smith, from Gréeen- land for Philadelphia, They were adrift for five days without food or water, and their sufferings were raost intense, and when taken on board the brig they were nigh exhausted, The brig was spoken in the South Channel by the sehooner Mary Low, Captain Dunton, of this port, and Welen and Oakes were transferr-d to her and arrived home on Saturday night, The others preferred keeping on in the brig, a3 they supposed they would get home sooner. The men speak very highly of their. treats ment by Captain Smith and his men, and everything possible was done to alleviate their sufferings. —Cupe Ann Advertiser, “olorapO TurrLes.—A gentleman trom Monotony telis a rather interesting story abouta pair of snapping turtles. Ae is an oid plainsman, and a few days ago took his shot-gun and went over to Eagle Trai! for the purpose of getting a fewdueks, Ar. rived at,the creek he found no ducks but raw two of those great fresh water turtie, met with more frequently in Eastern ponds than ia Colorado, and apparently weighing about forty pounds each, They are very sby birds. their heads po; ping into the shell upon the slightest alarm, but being a good shot the hunter su¢ceeded in blind- ing Loth of thm, and bothered them so that they were easily caught and dragged out. Snappers are very active, and unlike a sea turtle, being provid-d with long aud strong legs, can turn themselves after be- ing placed npon theirbacks. Their captor had no way of securing them, and would getonly a fewsteps in the search fora piece of wood out of which to make stakes when his captives would be going at a \urtlé 2.40 gait towards the creek. ‘The contest between instinct and reason was kept up more than an hour and a half, much to tue disadvantage of reason, at the end of which time a ranchman living near by came along and assist+d the hunter in taking the turtles to his hone Here they were putin a sheep pen having a fence about three feet high, and the men went to the house, Quarter of an hour afters wards the hunter went to the pen for his gu, and found that the turtles were gone. As there were no kolesin the fence, and as they had not dug out,the conclusion was irresistable ‘that they had climbed over Their trail was found, and about half a niile away they were caught making a bee line for the creek. Firing off his gun, the ranchman again came to his assistance, and the turtles were again put in the pen, and tied toastake. They were worth watch. ing, however, and a few minutes afterward it was found that they, had gnawed off the rope, and again started for the creek. ‘They were Only a few rods away this time, how.. ever, and were then tied so short that they could not reach the cord, and ultimately arrived at their captor’s kitchen at Mono- tony.

He is 70 years old, CANADA, ~ ANOTHER LipeL Surr.—In the Court of Queen's Beuch of Oatario, on Saturday, anfapplication was granted for criminai information against the Sarnia Canadian for au aileged livellous statement in reference to, the Vremier. f GALLANT Rescur.—Frank Britt, a small boy, fell off Hartt’s wharf, St. Audrews, on Sanday morning last. The s-reams of his cympanions attracted the attention of a young Jad named Michael McCarroll, who ab once ran for the wharf, where he imme- diately took off his coat and vest, and jumped into the tide to rescue the drowning poy. He dived underneath the boy, who had ceased to struggle, got him on his back, swam for the wharf, and laid hold of agspileing, to which be clung until a boat came to his assistance. Young McCarroll, who thus iu the bravest manner saved the life of the boy (who, without, would un- doubtedly have been drowned), is deserv— ing of the greatest praise and of some pub- lic recognition of his gallant conduct. The Queen lately directed that the Albert medal, usually given for saving life at sea, should be bestowed on persons performing heroic acts on land, and the rescuers of the Welsh miners are to share the honor. In what- ever way one looks at the above act, it de- serves high honor.— Si, John Telegraph. Mr. Laurir, M. P. for Arthabaska, is dangerously ill. Thomas Underwood, engaged in cutting sleepers on the jine of the New Brunswick Railroad near Little River, was found dead in the woods on Friday. His head was crushed and his body mutilated. It is supposed that he was murdered. He was aged 28 years and single, James Merrick, of Florenceville, New Brunswick, and four other men started on a raft trom Tobique, and only went a short distance before the raft went on a wreck. Merrick got off to push it off and slipped into the deep water.
