a correspondent rise in prices, which,

The following are some Of the toasts

James Monroe-A name consecrated by the

TESTIMONIAL OF GRATITUDE.


On Wednesday the Governor of Vir-
ginia, in the presence Of the Council,
Judges, and many gentlemen and la
dies, presented to Gen. Scott, in the
name Of the commonwealth, superb
gold-mounted sword, manufactured in
Philadelphia by Mr.. Harvey Lewis.
The workmanship reflects the highest
credit on the skill Of the artist. For
the devices which adorn the sword, the
Executive are indebted to the care and
judgment Of Gen. Cadwallader of Phil
adelphia, under whose direction the
swords were made;-himself gentle
man of great literary taste and an &C.
complished soldier.
The executive have also received for
presentation the swords voted by the
legislature, at the same time, to Cen
eral Gaines, and Capt. Warrington.
We understand they will be presented
on the first favorable occasion. Gen
Gaines's would have been presented
yesterday or to day; but tor the cirum-
stance of his having left the city.
All the mountings of Gen. SCOTS
sword are of fine gold The head Of
the hilt represents that ola Knight in
armour; the grippe is ornamented with
spiral wreaths Of oak and laurel with
two heads of Mars in the centre--the
shell with the classical emblems of war,
having in the centre, set in wreath OF
laurel, fine head Of Liberty. On the
mountings of the scabbard we have the
winged thunder; Hercules strangling
the lion, and wreaths Of oak. All these
figures and emblems are in chase work
finely executed. If the external orna-
ments be classical, those on the blade,
which is the soul of the weapon, are
historical. First, we have on one side
a scene from the battle Of Niagara, rep
resenting the moment after Miller had
carried the Battery: Gen. Scott is seen
at the head Of his shattered but still
intrepid brigade-and mounting ano-
Their charger, his own being literally
torn from under him BY cannon shot
1t was moment when victory seemed
dependent upon the uncommon exer.
tons of some heroic spirit, and the ef-
feet produced upon the troops by the
Generals sudden falling and reappear-
ing was finely electrical. This define
alton is followed by an angle between
two scrolls; on the first "Chippewa,
July, 1914" on the other, "Niagara IS
July, 1914" On the opposite side Of
the blade, we have, "Presented by the
Commonwealth Of Virginia, to Major
Gen. Winfield Scott, IL Feb. 1916"
followed by figure of Liberty, with
Tyranny PROSTATE at her feet, and this
scroll-Sic Semper Tyrannis. The
whole blade which is of the best proof
is covered with ornaments executed IN
high taste.

May it not be hoped that the accident rela-
ted below will have tendency still more to
check the declining practice Of LADIES sub
jecting themselves to all the dangers and lewd
scenes of crowded Race Course:
.Aeeident.--At NEWMARKET, on We'd
nesday, Immediately after the race, a
gentleman with single Gig, was at
tempting to leave the ground, when, in
the road leading to the Northern gate,
nearly opposite the Judges Stand, his
horse became frelful and ungovernable,
and ran away, dashing the gig against a
carriage about 90 yards ahead in which
were number Of ladies, breaking the
shafts, and throwing out the gentleman.
The horses attached to the carriage be-
ing Of course alarmed, attempted like
wise to run, but having fortunately Ia
ken the direction of the Western en-
bankment, were soon arrested in their
flight; and, Notwithstanding the car
riage was thrown on its side, we are
happy TO state that the ladies escaped
without any serious injury. The gem
tleman, in his fall from the gig, had his
leg broken and is in other parts Of his
body good deal bruised but we be-
lieve is considered in no danger OF
losing his life. Petersburg intel.

A strong case of the prejudicial effects OF
high duties, both on the morals and revenue
of a country, is stated in a late Upper Canada
Herald. The duty on Boots and Shoes has
always zen excessive in that province, in con-
sequence of the supply being principally OBJ
tanned from the United States. The induce
ment and facility of smuggling, has produced
the following result:-'sIn the year 1928 the
Provincial revenue arising from Boots and
Shoes amounted to the sum of t,co pounds ten
shilzsngs, and in 1924, to eieren pounds elsuen
