THE ARMY DEPARTMENTS.

The Pall Mall Gazette understands that Colonel Adye,
R.A., who has been appointed to the charge of the com-
bined Store Division of Control and the Department of
Director-General of Ordnance, vacant by the retirement
of General Lefroy, will be designated " Director
of Artillery and Stores," and will receive the
rank of Brigadier General." Sir William Power
is, we believe, to be at the head of the other De-
partment of Control, with the title of " Director of
'Transport and Supply.' Both departments will be under
the command of the Clerk of the Ordnance or Controller
in Chief. General Collingwood Dickson, V.C., R.A.,
will be Inspector General of Artillery—an appointment
which can hardly fail to meet with general approval.
General Gambier is likely to continue for the present at
the Horse Guards as Deputy Adjutant General of the Royal
Artillery—or, as we suppose he will be called, Chief of
the Artillery Staff."

Thomas D. Uarr was executed in the county gaol
at St. Clairsville, Ohio, on March 24, for the murder of
Louisa C. Fox, near St. Clairsville, in January 1869.
Carr acknowledges having perpetrated fourteen cold•
blooded murders, and made five unsuccessful attempts to
take life before the killing of Miss Fox.

A. NEW SrN.—At a temperance meeting in Buf-
falo, a few nights ago, a lady declared it her firm belief
that it was a grave sin for parents to allow their young
children to use condiments, and inveighed against the

to the immoderate use of mustard.—Ncw York Times,
March 23.

Building paper now forms a regular article of com-
merce in the United States. It is a hard, compact paper,
like an ordinary book cover, and is saturated with tar, and
used on the outside of frame buildings, under the clap-
boards, also under shingles and floors, to keep out damp
and cold. It is also used on the inside, not saturated,
instead of plastering., and is said to make a warm
and cheap wall. The Rock River Paper Company
of Chicago are doing a large business in it.—Scientific
Review.
