the township of Perth, and its vicinity ; we learn that their ex-
pences from Quebec were defrayed by Government.—On Wed.

Methodist Chapel and purchased by Mr. Gerrard, has lately
been fitted up as a Library and Exchange. It is distributed
into two large apartments, of which the upper forms a spacious
Library, into which moderate and tempered light is admitted by
a window at each end and a sky-light. Between 6 and 7,000
volumes press the shelves, while ample globes, maps, &c. are
conveniently. placed for examination. The lower room is nearly
of equal size, shady and cool, and to be furnished with all the
apparatus of an Exchange. On one side of the entrance is the
Librarian's Office, and behind the building, his house. Upon
the whole, the establishment is one of the most complete, and
is, it is said, soon to receive additional advantages.

QUEBEC, JUNE 14.—0 n Tuesday evening last, this city and
vicinity was visited by a storm of thunder and lightning of un-
usual violence and duration. It lasted from six till nine o'clock,
during the' greatest part of which time, the flashes of lightning
were incessant and the rolling of the thunder without intermis-
sion. We have heard of several buildings in the country
having been destroyed by the lightning, but have no informa-
tion sufficient to warrant details. A barn belonging to one Ga-
bouri was burnt at St. Augustin, and two near the church of
St. Charles.

ter gained the esteem of all who knew him. His remains were
interred in Beaumont church, on'Tuesday last, attended by a
numerous body of the inhabitants of Beaumont, as well as those
of the neighbouring parishes.
THE CHURCH-BUILDING nw-re—The necessity which
exists for an augmentation of this fund, which, (with the ex-
ception of the subscriptions of the Lord Bishop and the Hon.
and Rev. Dr. Stewart,) was raised exclusively in England, was
made known last year to the inhabitants of Quebec; and it was
stated at the same time that the money which might be sub-
scribed for the purpose, would not be immediately called for..
The great number of churches now building within the limits
of this diocese--the inability of the congregations, in many ire_
stances struggling with the difficulties of a new country, to com-
plete their design, or, in other cases, to commence it—the fre-
quency of particular applications for aid in the way ofsubscription,
(of which the most recent instance is that of the church at the
River d u Loup,) renderit necessary to appeal, without further de-
lay, to the bounty of the public in this behalf; in order to form an
addition to the existing general fund upon which there are so.
many demands. And it is hoped that the sympathy with the
spiritual wants of the inhabitants which will be manifested upon
the spot, will not be less, (according. to the proportion of the re-
sources of the two countries,) than it has proved to be ih Eng-
Land.—The contributions will not be called for 'in the shape of
annual subscriptions, nor will the same individual be solicited
to repeat his contribution.

A 'MEETING will be held at the COURT-HOUSE, at Two
o'Clock, on MONDAY.; •18th inst. in order to concert measures
for effecting this objecf—and more detailed information will
be there furnished to any person who desires it.

HABITUAL DRUNKARDS.—The following is the substance
of alaw of New York, passed March JO, 1821, concerning the
estates of habitual drunkards.

1. The Court of Chancery is to exercise a jurisdiction and
,power in regard to the estates of persons who shall be incapable
of conducting their
.own affairs, in consequence of habitual
drunkenness, similar to the jurisdiction and power exercised by
that Court in regard to the estates of lunatics. The costs of
any proceedings upon a petition to the Chancellor, arc not, in
any case, to exceed-25 dollars.

2. The Overseers of the Poor are required, whenever they
discover any person to be an habitual drunkard, whose property
may. be endangered by such drunkenness, to make application
to the Court of Chancery for the exercise of-its jurisdiction and
power: and if such drunkard shall not possess property sufficient
for his or her support, the overseers may designate and describe
Such drunkard, And require by writing, to be signed by him-or
them, all and ever merchant, distiller, store-keeper, grocer, ta-
vern-keeper, or other dealer in spirituous liquors, within their
respective cities or towns, not to give or sell, under any pretence,
spirituous liquors to any such drunkard, except by direction or
on the certificate of a regular licensed physician, that the same is
necessary for the preservation or recovery of the health of such
drunkard. For each offence against the law, a dealer in spi-
rituous liquors is'to forfeit ten dollars for the use of the poor.
3 Any person, described as a drunkard by the overseers
of the poor, may, if he thinks himself aggrieved, apply to a
justice of the peace, -who shall issue a -venire to a constable, re-
quiring him to cause to come before the justice, not less than
nine nor More -than twelve respectable freeholders, any six of
whom being balloted for, and appearing, shall be 'sworn well
and truly to try- the 'matter in difference between such person
and the overseers; and if, upon investigation and the due
proof, the said persons thus balloted for, shall say such person
is an habitual drunkard, the said justice shall enter such deck.
ration in a book to be by him provided ; bet if the said persons
shall declare such
.person not to be an habitual drunkard, the
said justice shall also enter the same, and award and direct to
the applicant such costs against the said overseers as are usual
on trial by jury on summons issued againSt the defendant,
which cost shall be-paid-by such overseers. • - t• - • • ' • •
4. If at any time, the overseers of the poor shall he satisfied
. of the reformation of a drunkard, they are empowered to revoke
the notice given to dcalera in spirituous liquors.
