At some points whole families were hemmed in by the flames and per- ished in full view of the spectators, who could net teeone them. The panic among the peeple was tenrihle, and many lost all presence of mind and, were un- able .to save themselves. Others in despair made no cflort'to save them- selves, and were lost. Some of the Turks, in a spirit of fatalism peculiar to that race, shut themselves up in the burning houses, refused assistance, and met death without amurmur.

The idea .is sug- 33 gestive of authorised game-keepers and poachers. The Doctor we apprehend 38 claims to be one of those to whom the 3ytoommmd “go feed my sheep” was given. A venerable old commentator, Matthew Henry, said that the negative l of this command was “don’t fleece them." a ’From the tenor of the remarks we fear that the conclusion must he come to, :n- 3 that the position of the church of Eng: he‘= land 'in the diocese of Toronto is any- le- hing but satisfactory, either to the .15 3 clergy or laity of that communion. The 3 3clergy complain of inadequate pay and l a lay delegate is reported to have said V883 that “ the clergymen were divided. The I‘D-‘jreason why" the Methodists raised so rm- ‘ much money was that they were united for; as one body. 'B'ut the difierssces in l the church of England had a had died 38 .6. 3 man in die diocese of Toronto, the words of the old song “We are jogging to Rome boys” might not be inappropri- ately used by Bishop Bethune. Some of the speakers, at the synod, exhibited the liberality oi the Meth- odists as being far in advance of the EpiSCOpalians. The X'enerablo Arch- deacon of Niagara,spoke in iandatory terms «of that body, and Mr. Joseph Beasely, of Welland, who probably may be indebted to the Archdeacon for his broad views of christian duty, said that 'he “ was delighted to assist the Metho- I l dist bodies in his neighborhood in their c3orts to do good,”but the Rev. Dr. iLett. could not tolerate this free and feasy sort of christianity, not he, for as ice shall soon see he is an orthodox igame-kecper.

A clergyman, the lev. Mr. Briggs, submits a remedy - 5] about which, however, there is just this laincongruity, viz: that the history of the lcommon fund to which he refers was l prior to the establishment‘of the clerical 3 order, and surely Mr. Briggs would not. admit Ananias to that dignity. “Rev. Mr. Briggs,as-an outcast, wish-t : 'cd to say a -fe-w words, :and he hoped not lollence would be taken when none was“ \intended. In primitive times the clergy- man had all things in ‘common; but in the present times this was not the case. . He would therefore suggest that those having large incomes should divide with the poorer brethren in the rural dis- : tricts, and joining-heartily with them, he doubted not the cause of religion would flourish.” (Hear, hear.) Under the heading of “Clergy ‘Com- mutation .Fund” some startling treveln-fi tions were made. The fund known by this name is that created by the invest- ‘ ment of the proceeds of their life inter- ‘ ests in the clergy reserve lands, which“ were secularized in 1854. Mr. J ohu Hillyard Cameron was the chief agent. employed by .the Church Society to con- dnct its management and investment.â€" The ifollowing from the reported pro- ceedings of the Synod, showssnbstang tially how the -acconntstands as between the Society and the gentlemen named, 1 but it by no means represents theme- ’dition of the fund as a whole, which. there is reason to apprehend has been- to use the wildest form of expressionâ€"- grossly mismanaged. In .pcply to Hon. MnBull, Mr. Blake said that. unleSs the policies on life in. suranco were kept up the-Society would probably lose some of Mr. Cameron’s debt, which at. present. was $145,000, and the society agreed, ‘but not absolgteo 1):, to accept 880,000 of securities. 31;, Blake went into further cif’plagationg’ giving figures that tended to p’tWe his statements. It would be better, how- ever,.for the Synod- mt to count on get- ting the who-lo of the money, but leave a little margin for possible loss. Mr R. B. Dcnison asked how it was that an assignment. of judgment. against Mr. W. H. Boulton for $10,000 and interest, was set. down in the re ort as supposed to be worthlegs. - He t iought from the appearance of the gentletnan in question that there was no reason for this assignment. being set down as pro- bably wgrtbless, Mr. Blake said that judgment. had been recoVei'e'd and the usuAl proceed- ings taken against Mr. Boult'on, but they had been futile.

The fourth monthly meeting of the above Association was held at-‘Chateworth, on Satin-flay, 18th inst. This was one ‘of the best meetings yet held. The attendance was good, and the members appeared to take a lively interest in all‘the procéedings. Messrs. Strung and Harvey were appoint- ed delegates toa‘tten'd theifie’eting'of the IProvincral ~Association, ‘to be held in To- ronto 'on the ~20d of August next. They were instructed to spend $5 of the funds of 'the Society and the additional 100 per cent. granted by the Department, in procuring professional books for the use of the mem- ; bers of the A=8800i3ti01h Mr. Gorsrine read an essay on the “Re msueration of Teachers,” which was rather severely criticised by Messrs. McKinnon,‘ Frazer, Graham and Robinson. c! Kinnon took 1ssne with the Essayist for‘ l holding that Common School Teachers were the peers of Ministers, and eonse quently should receive as high asalary. He l ‘(Mn McKinn‘on) held that although they! might be as useful as mmisters, they were not their peers, and would not be until the ; law compelled them to he as well educated as ministersgenerally are. Mr. Graham found ‘t‘ault with the essay for itsvagueness 3. he thought the sense was often obscured by 'its hifalutin style. Mr. Harvey thought that the Essay'ist had travelled out of his way to-givea pnfi‘ to the Normal -Sc!:00!, and to have a fling at the County Board. He contended that although Normal Schools might to ‘a certain extent improve , poor teachers, ,yet they could not make good onesâ€"that they like poets, were'bor-n, not made. If a teacher has not naturally the tact of governing children, and the faculty of imparting instruction, all the ' Normal Schools in the world wouid not give it to him. Then followed a discussion on the best method of teaching Geography, led off by Mr. Frazer. This proved the most interest- ing of the day, neaily ‘all the members tall i 1mg part in the discussion. Messrs. Coch rane and Graham r‘ather distinguished them- selves by the able manner in which they explained a system which ’appeared to meet with much favorâ€"this is, to use the black- board for teaching definitions, and map ldrilling for the principal physical features, the political division and the important places of the world, leaving the minutiae to be learned from the text book.

The motion was carried unanimously. l - Mr. Mc-Kinnon gave a. reading, “The after fate of Bet-narda'del Carpio,” which was well received‘ After- manging the programme lor the next meeting, which will be published in due time, the Association adjourned to meet again at the same place on the 162h J uly next.â€"0.

It appears that Mai Peter‘Aruott, of Amabel, was proceeding; down l’oulett Street, Owen Sound, with his l team, a couple of other men being in the Waggon also, when Opposite Notter’s gro-i cery the horses- took fright and started on 3 the run. As they came to the corner Divi. sion Street, Mrs. Scurry was coming along with the child in a baby carriage and in order to avoid being run over, ran across the street immediately in front of the Wagon, dragging the carriage after her, but unfortunately in her haste jerked the child out 5 and the driver, seeing only the woman, kept the horses as far to the other side as possible, and ran ever the child, breaking two of Its ribs and crushing its skull. It was immediately picked up and‘ carried to Lang’s Drug Store, but life was extinct. The screams of the unfortunate mother, on thus suddenly being bereaved of her ofl'spriug, were pitiful, and she had to be taken away from the scene. Mr. Scurry had been away from home for some days, and arrived by the boat an hour or two afterWards, to had himself childiess, and his hotfi’e th‘e s'é’etie o'f lamentation and “â€"â€" sorrow.

He next broke the door of Ms. Atkinson’s bed room with thel axe, who resisted him with an unload? fed gun, and by the aid of a. hired man knocked him down. He made for the woods, and was afteru'ards arrested by a constable at Boss's Mills. He Was taken to Woodstock jail, and no doubt will receive his deserts for this diabolical and unprovoked assault.â€"St. Mary’s Argus. ”5‘ “USU-JV, v â€"__ quarters.

In the year 18-1-8 the theatres had to be closed on account of the heat, the highest temperature being 35 Reaumer, or 111 Fahrenheit. During the three days of the revolu- tion of July 1830-, the thermometer stood at 36 degrees Centigrade, about the same as 97 Fahrenheit. In June, 1850, when the cholera ap- peared for the second time, the tempera- ture was only about 65 Fahrenheit, In 1832, during the uprising of the 4th and 51b of July,the temperature was the same. The highest degree of heat that man can withstand for any lengthened pc‘i'iod varies from 104 to 122 of Fahrenheit scale. But with a much lower tempera- ture numerous deaths occur.

Those Who have studied the .01 or American papers for the last three years, it s, , and learned how widely the Fenian d "1 '3 organization is spread, will probably ‘is l hold a very different opinion.

But the la‘ngh comes in tieredâ€"that such young men don"t really meta reasonable wife. They pass by the industrious, self-deny- ing young "girl, who pluckily resolves not to let an ove'rotaske'd father or brother support her, and court to some ; be-flounced and he-jewelled pink and White doll, and then whine that they can’t get married to her, because ‘she is so extravagant) That’s the whole truth about it; and when young men face and acknowledge it ina manly manner, it will hesoo’n enough to listen to them on the ‘marsiage ‘question.’ . y . .
