The distribution of prises to the students of King's Col-
lege who had distinguished themselves during the past
year took place on Tuesday, in the presence of a crowded
and distinguished assemblages His Brace the Archbishop
of Canterbury took the chair, supported by the Bishop of
Winchester, Sir B. H. Inglis, Lord Itatistock, Sir W. Rid-
dell, Ur. Jelf, D.D., Mr. B. Wigan], and other members o
the council.

A Huox BEAR, with her three young ones, has lately
been shot in the remote valley of Scalia, in the Orisons.
There are still extensive wildernesses in that canton, for
although more extensive and picturesque than that of
lierne, it is but seldom visited. Even its chief wealth, the
plentiful mineral springs, have hitherto been neglected by
the inhabitants themselves. Lately, however, that of St.
Morita has been taken on lease by a company, and will re-
ceive such additional buildings as to raise it to a level with
most German watering-places.
Tttr Gareite du Midi, in an article on the actual state of
the Papal dominions, says :—" The Roman hospitals are
very rich. That of St. Michel has au annual income of
several millions of crowns ; St. Esprit possesses nearly all
the landed property lying between eivita-Vecchia and
Rome; St. Jaques has au income of 600,000 crowns, about
120,U(k)1. sterling—its speciality is explained in the follow-
ing lines :

" ' St del peccato non hat rimorso, '
Hicordati dell' impede! del Corso."'
DURING a recent sitting of the Boston court, Judge
Wells was greatly annoyed by the noise of a stonecutter
who was at work close by, and ordered him to desist. He
refused, and the judge had him arrested for contempt. He
has now prosecuted the officer for false imprisonment, and
the question, says a local journal, will be tested viliether
court has a right to compel men to desist from their ordi-
nary avocations under such circumstances.
THE town of Carlskrona, in Sweden, has escaped a heavy
calamity. It was set on fire by lightning, endangering
the ships and stores, but the flames were happily extin-
guished.
