fore the king and queen. A wide ring is formed
around, and the royal huntsman steps out and blows
the horn he has hitherto slung around him, and its
notes ring clear and loud through the echoing woods.
The gentlemen wave their hands and shout. All is
over, and the court follows the King. The long
procession winds like a scarlet ribbon through the
green gloom, homeward to dinner at the hunting
lodge, the buglers blowing merrily in front.
Such is a boar hunt at the court of King William.
It is less tiring and less exciting than a day with
English foxhounds, but it is very picturesque, and
one can be sure of getting home in good time to
dinner. The Marquis of Lorn in Land and

graph Companies as to the expediency of laying a
submarine line from Placentia to Halifax, or some
point in the United States. The capital for this
improvement in the communications will be found
by the parties interested in the traffic beyond Heart's
Content, and will in no way prejudice the claim of
the Anglo-American Company upon the general re-
ceipts, which already more than suffice to meet their
dividend of 25 per cent. per annum. A telegram
has been received, to the effect that Mr. Cyrus W.
Field will shortly sail for England with authority to
order a cable, to be laid from Placentia to such point
(Halifax or Boston) as may be deemed best.

It gives much pleasure to the friends of Mr.
Cyrus W. Field to learn, through the above tele-
gram, that they may soon have the pleasure of see-
ing in England this indefatigable promoter of
the Atlantic Cable. Ile can then express his own
views on the yet unsettled question of his justly-
earned honours and reward.

According to a report just issued by a select com-
mittee of the Canadian House of Assembly the
copper-bearing series on the north shore of Lake
Huron extends over a surface of 2,000 square miles,
and nearly the same extent of country on Lake
Superior is endowed in the same manner. Iron is
also found in considerable quantities.
Efforts are being made to indict Mr. Fourney,
editor of the TVashington Chronicle, and the Balti-
more Police Commissioners, for an attempt to incite
to a riot. The Governor of Maryland has announced
that he claims jurisdiction to try and pass judg-
ment upon the commissioners. If during the in-
vestigation the innocence or guilt of the Commis-
sioners appears established he would act instantly,
even in the midst of the proceedings. The trial

progresses.
New Orleans despatches state that Mr. Johnson
has urged the Governor of Louisiana to force the
Constitutional Amendment through the Legisla-
ture. It is reported that several prominent South
Carolinians are aiding the Government to carry the
Constitutional Amendment through the South
Carolina Legislature, as a measure of relief for Mr.
Johnson.

rity at 17,151. The two counties unofficially re-

Mr. Isaac B. Baxter, sr., who was for many years
in the hardware business in Philadelphia, on Second-
street, above South, died on Tuesday evening, at the ad-
vanced age of eighty-one years. His perseverance and
enterprise had enabled him to retire from business some
years ago with a competency. Since his retirement from
active business, his time has been devoted to horticultural
pursuits, being a member of the Horticultural Society. He
was very widely known and much respected, a sincere
Christian, without ostentation, his: charities are only
known to the recipients. His loss will be deeply felt
amongst his large circle of relatives and friends.
