OaIiNANCK Seavite.—On Wednesday morning the
structure erected on the Western Tower some few
weeks since, and the tent used thereon for purposes
connected with the department, were taken down, the
old tower once again wearing its normal aspect.
Several visitors during the past week paid the struc-
ture a visit and had a good view through the telescope.

Minster peal has this week been again put in working
order. The cause of displacement wan a visit the
• diocesan guild of bellringeni ..n the 16th inst. This is
not the first time one of these bells has been dis-
mounted, much to the danger of the structure, and
those engaged in the manipulation. Many are the
complaints respecting this oft repeated bell speling.
NVe would say surely the remedy is in the hands of
the Minater who are not in a position to be
• dten paying 1:10for replan. We hear that such mishaps
never occur when the peal is in charge of the Miuster
ringers.

Li. this, arrangements have been made f••r It Visit f a
detachment •it the Salvation Army, who will conduct
their eccentric services on the village green in close
lie enmity to the school, church and ininemage. The new
I vicar will doubtless conscientiously endeavour to du his
duty, and the captain of the army will strive to do
work for the Master, Loth working for the same
Master, although on different principles.

It has often hem eai I that an Englishman knows
nothing whatever of ceremony and p •li•eness, and
that as a race wear* ter behind our French tieleh hours
both in matters of politenees and horpitalLy. Now,
wh Atter thia national charatterietic is due to temp 'la-
ment ls • question—l don't believe it le—althongh it
may truthfully be aseerted that the nation which
poaysees the greatest variety of amp-ramie, t promients
at the same time the meet uniform and dallied
system of manners. Perhaps th following rney be

he ultimately left, thoroughly disgueted with hlmeeill

careful never to form an acquaintance, or even
to speak t o a person without a formal introduc-
