Tm: Rev. Dr. Carry, a predecessor of the Rev. Mr. Lloyd’s in the rectory of Levis and South Quebec, the ablest con- treversislist and one of the ‘most pro- found scholars in the Anglican [Church of Canada, died suddenly a few days ago while on his way to give the sacrament to adying man. His sudden demise is a great loss to the Canadian Church.

ON Christmas Eve the infant daughter -of the Rev. Mr. Hamlyn, of St. Paul's Church. was presented with a pretty silver cup by some members of the Sun- day School. and an address containing the good wishes of the donors for health and happiness for "the little Islander" The presentation was niad'e by Miss May Worth and Miss Lizzie Ball. It wasa

‘kind thought and much appreciated by

the Rector and Mrs. Hamlyn. - Rsv. Ms. PERRY, of Ontario, Grand Lecturer for the Orange Order has re- turned to the Island from Newfoundland. He preached last evening in the Second Methodist Church." To-night he lectures inthe Orange Hall on “How to get Rich,” and will refer particularly to the

workings oflthe Scott Act in Ontario. The blic are invited." C _ _ Prof. Wiggins is once more receivr g gttention from the American press.

To the North Pole in a Baloon.

Probably the North Pole belongs to Canada, but boundary ilispul-:9 are not very likely to arise and still less likely to be settled if they should arise. No nation should take more interest in arctic dis- covery than Canada, as we have the gate- way to the pole by land or by water. A new and novel attempt is soon in be made, to solve this qiiestion, by a Parisian aernonaut and an astronomer, Messrs. Besoncon and Hermite. both of whom are under thirty years of age, After re- solving to undertake the project they de- termed to call their baloon by the name ‘of “ Sivcl.”

The Sivel when inflated will have a (liar meter of 32% yards. It will be capable of carrying 17-} tons, and will have an ascen- sional force of three pounds to the cubic yard. The envelope will be coin- pnsed of two thicl-znesses of Chinese silk, covered with a new specially devised var- nish. The balo:-n is to be sipheri-cal in shape, and to contain an internal balloon containing one fifth of the outside one. The Sivel will carry several pilot balloons to be detached to study currz nts. The attitude is to be regulated by a trail rope attached to an ice ancha-1'. The car will be made of osicrs streiigthenetl with steel, and is ten by sixteen. It will ct-iitain a safety petroleum heater, two explorers, their three aids, eight Esquiiniiux dogs, a sleigli,a caiioe,provisiuns and wato.»r. They expect to sail from France in 1892 and arrive in Spitsbergen in July. The ex- ploration will last six months and will cost $108,000, $12,000 of which is r quired for the construction of the balloon.

The Kilkenny Election.

KILKENNY, Dec or no oxciteinerit in the streets of Killtenny yesterday. Peace and quiet, outwardly. at least, seemed to rei n on a 1 sides. the streets being the quic -est portions of the town. Opposite and about the Court House a small crowd gathered. Messrs. Parnell, Harrington, Redmond, Scully, Hcnncssey and Ht-aly were inside the Court House at an early hour awaitiiig with varying emotions the actual an- nouncement of the result.

In view of the alniost vital iiiipvrtaiice to both 3 dos of the exciting coiitest just decided it is claimed that both sides deserve great credit for the fact that no collision took place between their followers, and that the last day of the

campaign at least was conspicuous for the almost entire absence of the personal abuse which has rec ntly been utchaiigcd by broadsides between the fv-llowc-rs and the opponents of Mr. Parnell. During the morning, as has been the case since the polls closed, the door of -the “counting-rooni” in the court

there was no attempt to create any dis- turbance. Shortly before noon Mr. Da- vitt came out from the court house and told the associated press correspondent that Mr. Heiinessy's majority would be ab =ut 1200 and that the Paruellites had suffered a hopeless, crushing defeat. The actual figures arc: ‘Hennessey 2527, Soully 1356.

Vincent Scully will lodge a petition pro- testing the clectioii of Sir John Pope llenm-ssey, on the ground of undue iii- fluence on the part of the priests, particu- larly referring to the priests acting in colliwcticin with the illiterate voters of Castle C0ll‘lL~I'.

Dr. Tanner will bring suit against Pnr.i«\ll for libcls contained in speeches made by the latter during the campaign.

The first public meeting of the Me- Cai-tliyitcs cvmmittee took place to-day. Every body present WAS filled with enthus- iasm over the ‘result of the contest in Noztli Kilkenny.
