HOME, FOREIGN, AND COLONIAL.

NICE QUESTIONS 10 BE DECIDED.—In Suffolk,
County Virginia, a man named Barstow hired a firm
of one Norcross, and was working the property to
little pecuniary advantage. One day Norcross was
walking across a field accompanied by a dog by which
he set great store when the animal was bitten by a
rattlesnake, and soon after died. Norcross sued
Barstow for the price o the dog, claimtig that he was
personally respodsible for all injuries done by snakes
upon his premises. While the case *vas pending
Barstow brought a cauoter suit against Norcross,
claiming that the ground was not worth the rent he
bad agreed to pay for it on account of the presence of
this 'poisonous snake.
ANCIENT VANGUARDS. —Last week, under the
personal superintendence of the Marquis of Huntly,
two large canoes, each hollowed from a single log of
oalc, were recovered from the bottom of the Loch of
Kinnord, Aberdeenshire (says the Court Journal.)
Both canoes are in a wonderful state of preservation.
Iris
.believed they have been more than 1,000 years
wader wafer. Another canoe was recovered some years
aft) from the same loch, and attracted considerable
attention at a meeting of the British Association. The
_largest canoe,-on-being drawn- ashore, was christened
the Marchioness of Huntly, and a bottle of whisky was
broken over the bow. The discoveries are considered
of great importance.
- EARL -RUSSELL AND THE CABMAN:—The
"Loiterer, "in the Pictorial World, relates the follow-
ing anecdote
Talking of Earl Riissell; fthink the only man who was ever
a match for that undaunted and ever-youthful politician,
was a cabnian in* Palace•yard:• In the old days, when we
knew him as Lord John, and dwelt on that name with a cer-
tain fondness, he took a cab from the House of Commons to
Chesham-place, and by accident gave the driver a sovereign
for a shilling. Next day he inquired for that cabman, and
found him. "I gave you a sovereign instead of a shilling
yesterday," he said. "Yes, my lord.' "Well, and are you
ready to return it?" "Can't, my lord." " Can't ! Why
not ?" "Cause I thought you did it out of kindness, my
lord. So I goes and buys this beautiful pair of boots; and
says I, they may call 'em Wellingtons, at the shop, but
calls !em Russells now they're on my legs' through his lord-
- ship's generosity." After which, what could Lord John
say? He went into The House, and put up a notice on the
paper of a motion to restrain tradesmen from using the
names of lilustrious personages as advertisertiente for their
wares. But the motion was withdrawn, and we still wear
Wellingtons and drive in Broughams ; and it is whispered
that the next lovely thing in `,` dress-improvers" is to be
called the Tennyson.

LEGAL INTELLIGENCE. —A "Lover of Equity"
desires to enter his protest against the fusion ef
Chancery with Common Law.—Punch.
A CONFIRMED NOVEL-READER PICTURED.—
The clock strikes midnight. A fair form bends over
romance. The eyes flash fire. The breath is quick
rand irregular. Occasionally the colour dashes to the
cheek, and then dies out. The hands tremble as though
"a guardian spirit were trying to shake the deadly book
out of the grasp. Hot tears fall. She langhs with a
shrill voice that drops dead at its own sound. The
dewdrops on her brew is the spray dashed up from the
river of death. The clock strikes "lour," and the rosy
dawn soon after begins to look through the lattice upon
the pale form ;now like a detained spectre of the night.
Soon in a madhouse she will mistake her ringlets for
curling serpents, and thrust her white hands through
the bars of the prison, and smite her head, rubbing it
back as though to push the scalp from the skull,
shrieking—!` My brain! my brain!" ittand off
from that ! Why will you go sounding your waly amid
the reefs and warning buoys, when there is such a vast
ocean in which you may voyage, all "sail set? This
will be a useful paragraph for a circulating library.
It could be printed in capitals and stuck up over the
counter.
• TELEGRAPHING IN AMERICA. Considering,
says the American Register, the nirmber of messages
that are daily sent by telegraph, Particularly, in the
United States, it is a marvel that so few mistakes are
-made: For not only do many pereons send their mes-
• sages written in an illegible hand, but, ignorance' no
less than bad caligraphy, stands in the way of, the
proper forwarding of despatches. It is not go long ago
that a man brought to the office in one of the small
interior towns of Pennsylvania a sealed letter to be
forwarded by telegraph; and when the clerk broke the
seal to learn the contents of the missive the sender in-
continently knocked him dewn. He thought that the
letter itself, by some mysterious process, was to be
transported bodily over the wires. .A short time ago a
New York gentleman, when on a journey, had occasion
to telegraph to-his mother to wait dinner for him on a
certain day and to reply. "It's all right," quoth the
old lady, nodding cheerfully to the telegraph boy,
tell'him that I will." "Tell him what ?' asked the
mystified boy; "Tell him that I'll wait dinner for nim
on Tuesday, of course." This same old lady once
refused to send some valuable Articles to her son as he
had requested her to 'do by telegraph, because as she
sagely remarked, the despatch was not in his own
handwriting.
A YOUNG. LADY'S PERSEVERANCE.—It *may
be curious and useful to our War Office to know how
they conduct business at the American War Office.
Here is the information to enable our officials to follow
example: "Last April al fine-looking clerk in an hour
of despondency enlisted in the army. He was engaged
to be married to a very handsome lady of eighteen, and
when she heard of it her distress can only be imagined,
for a,common soldier she could not wed. Her father
did everything in his power to have him released, but
without effect. The young lady then took the matter
in hand. She saw General Logan, and with his signa-
ture to a petition for a discharge, forward it to Wash-
ington. In due time the answer came, stating that the
prayer could not be granted. Learning that General
Belknap, Secretary of War, Was in the city, she got a
letter of introduction to him. She determined to call
on General Belknap at the Grand Pacific. He granted
her an audience, heard her story, satisfied himself the
young man would snake her a good husband, and wrote
out a discharge. -When she asked the general how
could she repay him, he gallantly replied, "With a
kiss," which she gave him. She returned, drew her
future out, the father settled a farm on them, they are
married, and the wife prays for the War Office and the
general repeatedly.
MONEY-MAKING IN Ninv YORK.—While there
are a good many people out-of work, remarks the New
York Herald, it would seem that in this State, at least
those who are employed are able to lay by money.
The statement of the New York savings banks, just
made for July 1, shows not only that these institutions
are in a sound condition' holding twenty millions more
assets than they owe, but what is of equal importance,
the gain in deposits in the last six months since
January lis over twelve millions of dollars, and the
increase in the number of depositors is thirty-six thou-
sand. This last feature is especially gratifying, for it
proves that the deposits are in the main by people in
moderate circumstances and are really savings. The
increase in deposits for the six months is the largest
since 1872.
EXCURSION TO AMERICA BY WORKING-MEN.
:—The following notice to working-men has been
issued :
"Centenary of American Independence.—Doubtless the
scenes to be witnessed in American, cities on July 4, 1876,
will exceed anything and everything the world has yet seen.
It has, therefore, been proposed to organise a working-men's
excursion to America and back, leaving London early in June
next year, via Liverpool, by a steamer of the Royal Mail
line, and during an absence of six weeks to visit the cities of
New York, Washington, Baltimore, Brooklyn, Philadelphia,
Chicago, one day at the Niagara Falls (during the height of
the season), returning home through Canada to see some
friends from the "old country" in their homes at Windsor,
Hamilton, Kingston, London, Toronto, and Montreal, after a
little excursion to the Falls of tioetraorenci, the Plains of
Abraham (the scene of Wolf's victory), to embark at the port
of Quebec for Europe so as to reach London about the middle
of August." The excursion will be conducted by Mr. Catlin,
and the cost will be made known as soon as possible after
the arrangements are completed with the hotel proprietors
on the other side of the Atlantic."
THE MODEL MAN.oF-WAR.—Above half. a-
million of public capital invested in the Vanguard has
been added to the treasures of the deep. But the
money sunk at the bottom of St. George's Channel is
not all thrown away. Now we know what to look out
for in case of a war. And, seeing that the Iron Duke
poked her ram through the mail of the Vanguard, we
now clearly discern that all our ironclads of the future
must be of the Punch type.—PuNcn.
-A Nrw AGRICULTURAL' LABOURERS' MOVE-
MENT.—The Executive Committee of the Kent and
Sussex Labourers Union, a body mustering over
10,000 members, have unanimously accepted a scheme,
proposed by Mr. Simmons, tin% hon, secretary of the
union, to secure land 'old cottages. "Mr. Simmons'
,proposal is to establish a fund by means of 2d. weekly
,subscription,,,and to have half-yearly balleting for
sums between £lOO and £3OO, dhare'entitles
the member to £lOO, which is to be repaid in twelve
annual instalments, without interest. The labourers
'of the two counties are warmly taking up the scheme,
and it is said that in a short time an average of a hun-
;clred members per annum will be placed in
,their own
freehold cottage's, or upon two or three acres of- their
!own land. •
i HINTS' ON MODERN COACHING.--Lord Wil-
liam Lennox, who may be fairly credited . with some
;experience, writing on Ancient and Modern:Coaehing,
Hays :—A great 'many aspirants for coaching 'honours
fancy that sitting quietly on the box, and guiding the
animals safely' along the road, without coming into
contact with a post,
,a i
curbstone or, another carriage,
Is all that is required; but 'thie s far from being the
ease. To become a downright good coachman, a man
ehould be abje to put the team together, io Aatn'alter
trace or bit duiing the journey; heiniust then take entre
that every horse does his work, and must keep the
jades up to the collar. He must then be careful to
case his horses up a hill, spirting down one, and taking
advantage °gaily level piece`of road, make up for the
Slower pacb -df a heavier one. ,Ho must then learn
how to handle his whij, so' as to flip' off ft joiorse-fly
from his leaders, and to double thong a'reft•aAory
wheeler when gibbing.or refusing to work; he must
remain perfectly placid upon the box, even amidst
danger never losing his head or his temper, always re-
membering that upon his presence of mind depends the
!fate of his passengers.
THE' SALE OF FOOD AND DRUGS ACT.—Under
the provisions of the 16th Clanse-of the Sale of Food
'and Drugs Act, 38 and 39 Viet.,
,c. 63, which comes
ietd Operation on the Ist of October next, the ,following

ATLANTIC ICE.—It appears (says Roo) that

was set loose by severe northerly gales from the cos.,

the year. The previous winter had been excessivei
severe in those regions, so that the ice thus dislodg!:
was extremely dense and compact, and in this
was enabled to drift far to the southward before ineW,
