In three years ending 1878 the Methodists of the United States raised $922,650 for col- lege endowments; the Episcopalians $203,910; the Baptists $1,095,673. Marrers in Russia seem to be drifting from bad to worse, The recent bold attempt to assassinate the Czar is followed by an avowal of the deed by the Revolutionary Committee, and an assurance that the attempt will be re- peated. THE Montreal Post says that the three men engaged in the resurrectionist business at the Catholic Cemetery have been detected, and when offered the alterrative of leaving the country or standing trisl, accepted the for- mer. Frozen Mear.—The ‘‘Sydney Merning Herald” of October 1 says :—‘‘The steamer Strathleven, designed to test the possibility of conveying frozen meat from Australia, is to eave Sydney for London about the middle of Noy. She will take from Sydney 609 car- casses of beef, 200 of mutton. and a quantity of wool, and till up similarly in Melbourne.’ KILLED BY A FaLutinG Tree.—On Friday, at Conquerall, a sad accident occurred. Simon Naugler, son of Mr. James Naugler, was with his father in the woods chepping. They had felled a tree, which lodging, they left and went sawing another into pieces, when sud- denly the lodged tree fell/and struck the young man on the back of the head. This is the second time this ,family have been thus ber- eaved.—Lunenburg, NV. S. Progress, At afuneral in St. Catherines, Ont., the other day, a strange occurrence took place. Whilst the corpse was being conveyed from the house to the hearse, a dog belonging to the deceased followed, howling mournfally, and trying its best to jump upon the receptacle in which its dead master lay. It ran after the funeral procession, and while at the cemetery again endeavored to jump on the coffin, mak- ing the same mournful out-cry. For THE Woops.—A number of men from P. E. I, and the Miramichi are in town look- ing for chances to go to the woods. So great is the number in search of work that wages have fallen considerably. Several men have also come from Nova Scotia, where it is said bills have been pasted for 500 men to work on the St. Croix. Many of the new comers are in indigent cireumstances,—St, Croix (N. B.) Courier. i On Wednesday, at Coale’s_ auction room, Toronto, the oldest Masonic relic in Canada was sold to J. Ross Robertson, of the Hvening Telegram. ‘The relic is the Masonic certifi- cate of Souter Johnny, of Burns’ Tam O’Shan- ter, and issued by St. James’ Lodge, Ayr, in 1790. Pinned to the corner of the diploma is a lock of Highland Mary’s- hair. The relic brought $178. It is the eldest known Mason- ic relic, anda large number of relic hunters came to Toronto to attend the salp and buy it. SamueEL SuHook got married at Hillsboro, Ohio, and took his bride to the home that he had prepared. Two rowdies of the neigh- borheod, desiring to play what they conceived to be a good joke on the husband, broke into the house that night while he was asleep and carried off his wife, frightening her inte sil- ence by brandishing pistols. They hid her for three days, and then returned her to the anxious Mr. Shook. They said they meant no harm, but he refuses to regard the exploit as fun, and has had them arrested. ATTEMPTED SuicipE.—A young girl, resid- ing of West Street, Halifax, attempted to commit suicide by taking a quantity of mor- hine pills and laudanum, on Tuesday night fast. It appears that for some time past she had been suffering from severe mental depres- sion, and had at last determined to make away with herself. On Tuesday night, hav- ing purchased the drugs previously, she ob- tained a bottle of whiskey, and, locking her- self up in her room, drank the liquor—doubt- less to nerve herself for what was to follow. She then took the morphine pills, 12 in num- ber, and a quantity of laudanum; but the whiskey, acting as an antidote, caused her stomach to reject them. Medical aid was summoned and although lying in a precarious state, she is out of danger. . DieutHeeisa.— A Times correspondent calls attention to the rapid spread of diphtheria in Moncton and other towns, and thinks the Board of Health, or somebody having the authority to do so, should take all possible steps to prevent the spreal of the disease, In the city of Bosten, we are informed, physicians are required to report cases of diphtheria to the City Board of Health, the URDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1879, NO. 20, —— - »—— SST —*eee_ NEWS BY TELECRAPY.

The Dominion Parliament will probably meet for the despatch of business on the first Thursday in February. - It is stated that the West Winchester murder case is to be revived by the exhum- ation of the bodies of Clarke Brown’s father and sister for re-examination and that some startling revelations are ex- pected. A shocking case of neglect has come to light in Hull. A youth of 17 was taken down with small-pox, and his family were so scared of the disease that no one would go near him ; some of the neighbors hear- ing of it went to the house with a bowl of soup. On entering the room they found the youth covered with blood, and almost at the point of death. The soup being placed to his lips he ravenously swallowed it. An examination showed he had eaten the flesh from one of his arms, in his agony of hunger. He died a few minutes after the arrival of the neighbors. Hauirax, Dec. 11. On Tuesday afternoon George Ferguson, his son James, and a nephew, Joseph Fer- guson, were warming dynamite cartridges in the shaft house at their claim, Tangier Mines, East Halifax, when one of the car- tridges, exploded. The shaft house was destroyed, James Ferguson thrown some distance and instantly killed, and his father and cousin were terribly mangled so that their recovery is hopeless. A man named Joseph Mason, who was standing near at the time, was also badly injured. UNITED STATES.

Hanlan will give Courtney a last chance to row him for the six thousand dollar prize, the race to take place within five weeks from date, and on the Potomac River. Sr. Paut, Minn, Dec. 10, A Fargo special says: The hardest storm in the history of the Northern Pacific KRail- way prevails along the line from Bismark to Duluth, over an area of 400 miles square; the snow isa foot deep on the level and the drifts are four feet. The trains are all de- layed, and business in the towns is stopped. It is feared casualities to settlers in ex- posed premises will result. IRISH AFFAIRS. Lonpon, Dec. 11. Parnell, Finnigan and John Dillon are expected to sail for America on the 20th. Parnell will attend a meeting Balina at Sunday next. Carrick-on-SHannon, Dee. 11. The session of the Connaught Winter Assizes opened to-day. During the day several processions of Irishinen paraded the streets and all approaches to the Court House was thronged with people. A large force of constables were stationed about the town, and police were posted in strong forces inside the Court Room and around the building. Neither Davitt nor Daly attended to-day, their presence not being required until Friday. Justice Harrison, addressing the grand jury, referred to the cases of the nationalist prisoners. He defined the crime of sedi- tion and told the jury they were entitled to consider all the surrounding circum- stances under which the speeches were de- livered, in order to judge of the intent. He said that Brennan’s case was a more serious one en account of the attempt of the latter to seduce the police from duty. In conclusion Judge Harrison informed the jury that they were only bound to find prima facie case, and that the trial would take place in another Court. RUSSIA. Lonpox, Dee. 1i. A St. Petersburg letter states the same day the Czar arrived at St. Petersburg, the revolutionary committee issued a violent proclamation which is being distributed daily, and in which they avow that the late attempt on the Czar’s'life wes made by their order, and although the attempt failed;they are not disheartened but are ready to try again. oes -- _ Resrigovcne SatMon IN ENGLanp.—The Dalhousie correspondent of the St. John Sun w.ices: ‘‘Reference having been made in several wf the papers to the failure of the ship- ment of frozen salmon from the port of !al- housie, Ihave to inform you that such is not thecase. The fish shipped per the ‘‘Louise” went direct to London, arrived in perfect order and condition, and are realizing prices far in excess of those anticipated by shippers. Several cases of salmon were shipped by steamer from Rimouski, but they were from same as small-pox, there is no question that parents should exercise a great deal of dis- cretion in allowing their children to visit houses where the disease is prevalent, and the Miramichi and Bathurst, and they may be the ones referred to as arriving in a damazped state.” —-_-— ——aDP 6 a i a EE Dwyer" members of families so afflicted should also| Rice CvuiTor# in Louisiana is a new indi s- use the utmost discretion in admitting visitors. | try.
