By a retnrn laid on the table of the House of Commons, Ottawa, it is shown that the number of 1812-13 veterans, who received pensions in 1878 is 1881, and the amount paid was $36,209. The number of officers is 2).

MARCELLUS JERNoN, of St. Louis, Kent Co., N. B.. died recently in his 99th year. The deceased lived to see the fourth generation— children, grandchildren, great-granchildren and their children, numbering in all two hundred and fifteen.

Lorp Derry, replying to an invitation to attend a meeting of the Lancashire Conserva- tive Associations, of which he has heretofore been president, writes :—‘‘ I cannot longer act as a member of that body, and have to request the withdrawal of my name from it.”

AT Montreal, on the 19th, Caroline Many- organ, achild suffering from typhoid fever, died from the effects of a mistake of an assist- ant (named Peppin) of Mr. Golden, druggist, who dispensed per-chloride instead of sub- chloride of mercury.

A Larcg Eacur.—A gray eagle, of an en- ormous size, was seen last week by a farmer at Mount Uniacke, N.S. When first seen it was sitting on a fence, and was taken by the far- mer to be a man trespassing on his grounds, but on his approach it started up and rapidly flew away. It is said that an eagle of such large dimensions is seldomseenin Nova Scotia.

Tue Governor General has received a letter from a number of former tenants of the Duke of Argyll, in Scotland, who have emigrated to the state of [llinois, congratulating His Excel lency on his appointment in Canada, and in- viting him to visit their settlement. Lord Lorne has replied that his duties here will prevent him from complying with their request at an early day.

Tue barquentine ‘‘ Adeline,” from Cardiff, March 24th, for Sagua, was abandoned at sea. She was a vessel of 298 tons, built in P. E. Island in 1876, hailed from Port Hawkesbury, and was owved by Capt. Angus Grant, of Port Hawkesbury. She was insured in the Ocean and Merchants’ Marine Insurance offices of Halifax—$6,000 ia each.

A PLetHora or Mongy-~The Loadon Times’ financial article, commenting on bank returns, which show a reserve fund of £9,000,000 higher than in the corresponding period of 1877, says money is gathering more into a stagnaut mass in the London market, and ex- ists now in such amounts that were people's mind at ease, gigantic schemes and specula- tions would spring iuto being.

Piano Tuntna.- -On account of the severe and prolonged depression in every branch of business here, we regret to learn that Mr. J. A. Smithson intends leaving here after the opening of navigation. We exceedingly re- gret losing Mr. omithson, as he always has rauked high ia his profession; and we, at the same time, miss a good citizen and a genial friend. We uuderstand that he intends lo- cating in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, there being a vacancy there at present.—7'or- ento Telegraph.

We understand the honorable the Minister of Customs has decided that egg boxes import- ed from the United States to be filled with eggs and exported, may be returned to Can- ada to be refilled without requiring duty a second time. ‘The duty must be collected on tirst importation; and -the boxes are to be stamped upon a square of paper pasted on the inside of each box, Without such an iden- tifying mark, the boxes will, we believe, on each time of importation, be charged with duty. The Collector here is making such ar- rangements as will carry out the Minister’s orders and facilitate trade, and, no doubt, he will communicate with the outport Collectors. Country shippers should know this, and govern themseives accordingly.

American Muses ror Sovrm Arrica.— Over 300 ef the 400 mules purchased in Ken- tucky by agents of the British Government for the troops engaged in the Zulu war arrived at New York last week, and were shipped on board the Dominion Live steamer ‘‘ Untario. The steamer will take 5U0 mules altogether. The average cost of the mules is $160. Ameri- can mules have been found superior to those of Spain or South America, and were for that reasor preferred. A large consignment is be- ing collected in Buenos Ayres, however, for the same purpose. ‘The ‘* Ontario,” after sail- ing from New York, does not expect to stop at any point before reaching Cape Town. South Africa, where she will take in eoal and pro- v.sions. It is expected to reach Cape Town in the latter part of May, and Port Natal about the Ist of June.

Tur London and Paris papers have recently been discussing from rival standpoints the relative wealth of France and Great Britain, but so far with very little evidence of satisfac- tion to either. The London papers claim that the estimates put upon English wealth by the F renchmen are grossly.inaccurate, and dissent entirely from the results reached. The French figures place the value of the private property ot Great Britain at $40,000,000,000, and that

“of France at $43.110,600,090, whieh, added to

the property of wach, gives as a total for France $46, 110,600,000, and to Great Britain $42,500,000,000-—thus making France the richer couatry. Whether correct or not, it is certain that the annual increase of French wealth for the last ten years is $750,000,000. Yet, France is another ‘‘ Protection ruined”

country.

Tue “Knights of the Mysterious Hat” is the name of a new secret society in Rochester. Those who pretend to know say that there is no mystery about it. Each member simply wears a brick inside of his golgotha.—New York Commercial Advertiser.

A GRAVE accident happened at Etchemini, Que., en the 19th. A canoe which left Que- bec at 3.30, with provisions and eight men, upset, and only two were saved—P. Garont and Joseph Cote. The names of the missing men are Edw. Gaguon, Amb. Joncas, F. Val- lier, M. Rousseau (flour merchant), Lynch Hethrington and Jos. T. Foucher, jr. One of the survivors is not expected to live. They are all of the same parish. By a good chance a canoe was sent from the other side, although 1 arrived too late to save them all. Those missing were all laborers except Rousseau, ; ae was a flour merchant established there ately.

A FEW days ago aman named Kemp, of Belleville, Ont., who was in company with one John Bonter, showed some money, which excited Bonter’s cupidity. The latter en- ticed Kemp to a lonely place, where he de- manded Kemp’s money. He refused, and Bonter beat him severely with a stick; but repenting, took his victim to a creek, washed his wounds, and made him swear he+would not disclose the name of his assailant, but re- pert that another man committed the assault. Kemp was taken home, and is still confined to bed, from the effects of his injuries. Bouter, | who escaped, has since been captared and been committed to jail for trial.

Ir is thought that a vast emigration from England will sh rily commence from town and country. The conviction that Kugland’s manu- facturing supremacy will never be re-estab- lished, and that maaufacturing employment in England will henceforth be both scanty and ill-paid is reported to be spreading among British artisans. Then, the English farming class has, by one means or another, been brought into great straits. Crops have more or less tailed for several years. Prices of farm produce rule low. Rents and taxes are high. Under these circumstances numbers of both classes will séek relief in emigration. It is to be hoped thet Canada will largely profit there- by as well as other British Colonies. — News.
