Dr. O’Brien, of this Pro- vince, has been called to the high oflice of Archbishop of Halifax. Dr. O'Brien is a young man to be accounted worthy to fill a position in the Church so houor- able and impertant. He is only about forty years of age; and his early elevation shows that his superior abilities must have deeply im- | j ressed his ec’ ] siastical superiors. Dr. O'Brien distinguished himseli as a student. winning at Rome a gold medal for proficiency in Philosophy and Theology, and graduating with well- merited honors. He was for several years counected with St. Dunstan's Col- | lege and St. Dunsjan’s Cathedral in this City, avd for the past seven years has enjoyed the the Parish at Indian River. He is several exce,leut works i literatura, chief of which is ‘* The Philosophy of the Bible Vindicated.” We offer to the Archbishop of Halifax our warmest con- gratulations ; and trust that the promise of his early life will be fulfilled in the faithful and able administration oi his office until he quiet of the great aud responsible reaches a venerable old age. —QOur correspondent’s letter, respect- ing the di-e« ultesy of a Post Office official, has been referred to the Post Office Inspector. Postal clerks are, and should be, required to treat courteously the public of every class, age and sex. On the other hand, the public--of every class, age and sex—should be careful to treat courteously the Postal clerks. These officials have a difficult task. to perform, especially in a town like this, where there are persons of similar vames and where it is impossible that they can personally know everyone who applies for let‘ers. They are required to deliver letters only to the persous to whom they are addressed, and in carry- ing out this rule they must frequently ask questions which over-sensifive people may think impertivent, but which those who are better informed know to bea highly necessary precaution against mis- takes. —The New York Herald’s correspon- dent at Constantinople throws new light on the fate which befell the expedition of Professor Palmer in the regions around Mount Sinai.

As seen from the earth’s surface these vary accord- ing as the place of observation is more or less distant from where the sun is vcrtical The path of the planet from east to west across the sun’s dise is in the lower or southern portion, and as Venus is at that time considerably nearer to us than the sun, it follows that the further north the position of the observer, as in our case, the more to the south will be the apparent track of the planet, and, consequently, the shorter will be the chord of the sun’s disc traversed, and the shorter the time occupied in the transit; the reverse being the case | where the observer is suuth of where the! sun is vertical,—Latitude 22° 42’ S.

The Planet, being a dark object, and the sun a bright one, it will be impossible, accurately, to mark the instant of external contact either at ingress or egress. All we can do is to mark the inter- val between the first and last internal con tacts. This is determined at ingress by the snapping of the black crop or ligament that appears to unite the limb of Venus with that of the sun; and at egress by the formation of the ligament, which is equally instantaneous and well marked when Venus reaches the western limb.

Hveegan’s Removat,—The Moncton Times of Friday says: Last evening the congregation gathered in the Presbyterian Church, and through the Pastor congratulated Mr. W. T. Huggan on his late promotion iu the Government Railway service. He also expressed regret that Mr. Huggan could no longer be in fellowship with the congregation with whose work and progress he had been so closely identified as a manager and Sunday sehool Teacher, and latterly as an Elder. After assuring him of heartfelt interest in himself and Mrs, Huggan and expressing the hope that the promotion and change would oi profitable temporally and spiritually to im and his family, Mr. Hogg, on behalf of the Sunday School Teachers, presented Mr. Huggan with a beautiful copy of the Teachers Bible. Mr. Huggan, though having no inti- mation before hand of these proceedings, suitably and in 4 very feeling manner replied. Mr. MeCurdy and Mr, McAllister also spoke of Mr. Huggan’s departure, confirming the iia addressed to him by the Pastor on be- hal of the congregation. Mr. Huggan and family left Friday morning for their new hone in Charlottetown. (neiiieiaittiedadlt A Crever Litree Game.—Certain natives of Nova Scotia and other parts of Her Britannic Majesty’s Awerican possessions have strayed from their native land and made homes for themselyes in this city. They retained a fond- ness, however, for the potatoes and other pro- ducts of the land of their birth, and a consider- rable part of the cargoes of coasting schconers from the Provirces is made up of barrels of potatoes, consigned to provincial residents of this city, sent from friends at home. Such merchandise has until recently been inspected and passed upon by the‘customs officers on the wharves. Kecently, however, it has been ordered that such merehandise shall be sent to the appraiser's office te be examined in the usual way, and in numerous instances, tubs of butter have been found nicely packed in bar- rels of toes. This is not in accordance with Uncle Sam’s method of doing business, and the consequence is thatthere is a surplus of butter as well as potatoes at the appraiser’s office, while sundry Nova Scotian residents of this city have failed to receive their usual supply of those articles from him.—Boston Herald, > Tug Y.

When fa good Astronomical telescope is not available, the transit may be con- veniently observed by fixing an ordinary Marine apy glass in the mauner of a camera, the obj-ct glass being directed towards the sun, and distance and focus being so ad- justed as to project on a white surface, an image of the suns disc about a foot in diameter which would give a little more that the third of an inch for the diameter of the planet. Such an arrangement fixed so as to move equatorially, would enable one to watch the whole course of the transit without fatigue. Lt was by this means that the first transit was observed by Horrox, in 1639. In order to catch the first appearance of | the ingress, be ready a quarter before ten, | with the eye tothe telescope, and keep a sharp look out at lowest part of. the sun’s limb, (the top with an inverting telescope.) If it is intended to mark the instant of the snapping of the ligament, it will be well.to avoid fatiguing the eye by constant watch- ing, but be content with an occasional glance to see how matters are progressing, until the band is distinctly formed, and, as it begins to narrow, caution your time keeper to ‘‘look out’ being ready to cry ‘‘stop” the instant the parting takes place.
