The Canandian Spectator mentions. that
one-seventh part of the soil of Upper Cana
tla belongs to the Episcopalian clergy, who
however at present minister to only one
twentieth part of the population. This fea-
ture in the system of course keeps large
portion of the country uncultivated aud

Fahe Nose.--A French surgeon has late
ly restored to an individual his nose, which
had been frost bitten during the campaign
in Russia. The usual mode was adopted of
turning down a portion of the skin of the
forehead for the purpose. The result is ve-
~ satisfactory. The detormity is scarcely
observable, and the scar in the forehead,
conccaled also in some degree by the hair,
has almost entir ly disappeared. What is
very extraordinary, is, that the person Oh
whom this operation has been performed,
II tcrs 90 lis forehead all the SENSATIONS of
his false nose; The nerves of which arc in fact
furnished by .hc nervous branches intended
for tie forehead.
