AN EXTRAORDINARY PLANT.4TI,IN

plantation a large number of pheasants, hares, and r •
were preserved, and it is thought that nearly all ~1
must have been destroyed. The fire also extewl:•d
Stretley Wood, and it was much feared that
Wadhani's farm, which is contiguous, would be I.
to the ground. Near the farm are several valuable 'lt 1..

of the park were in like danger, and t., t:.
preservation of these the firemen mainly dirc.h.,
their attention. The park is about lit ru
in :circumference, and in its widest or
over three miles across. Nearly one half

work was persevered in with unflagging deferraiiii

accomplished, This would have the effect of check.

day, hundreds of rabbits were seen wildly ran.

scampering off in all directions. Many of them ran

the park. Moat of the cattle were got clear awsy is
in time, but a cow and her calf were severely aeurehel
by the fire before they could be got off. Several valitahl •
oak trees and hollies were destroyed. It is at pres,n:
impossible to calculate the amount of damage, which i
very heavy.

The Rev. Dr. M'Cosh, recently appointed to tii•

a hearty reception from his friends in the states. Th.
New York Evangelist says that, as a suitable preparatinc
for his coming, some gentlemen of that city have rais,d 1
fund of 60,000 dole. to endow his chair. This will be
double advantage—of securing to him an annual inovm:
of 4,000 dole., and leaving untouched the present salary.
which is continued to the retiring president, Dr.
