touching the confscaton Of church property, we
commend to the attention Of those, who have
been accusing General Taylor of Nativeism:

FROM LAKE SUPERIOR.

The News of the 18Th furnishes several
matters OF interest. Meteorological Coserv-
lions made al Fort Brady for the wear end
ing April 30lh, shows that the warmest day
last year was July oh, the mercury stand
ing al 9G degrees IN the shadc-the coldest
gas 'nc t0t, of january. the thermometer
indicating 23 degrees below zero. The AZ.
grcgate Of rain that fell during the year was
1898 inches. The greatest depth Of snow
during the winter was about 80 inches: ag-
preoaIe nct stated. Steamboat navigation
vas absolutely impracticable only about 4
months.
On comparing the mean annual temper
aturc of the Sault dc Ste Marie with that
of other places on this and the eastern CON
tnts ii appears that the climate is mldc!
than that of Quebec and Moscow, ard 4
very little colder than that of Copenhagen
and Edinburgh. BY comparing the mean
temperature Of the different seasons the
past year with that of other places, find
that while we have the winter of Montreal
and the spring of ST. Fclcr~hrrgh, we enjoy
the summer of London and Paris. About
the same amount of rain falls here as at Lon
don.
The propeller Independence started Up
Superior on her first trip of the season, May
SIh, with a good load of passengers and
freight for L1poire and tire Intermediate
ports of the South shore.
The steamer Swallow left for Isle Royal
and the north shore Of the lake on the oh.
The steamer Julia Palmer is tied up on
the Canada side, a mile or two above the
Rapids, by order Of Collector Wilson, of
Her Ma esty's Government, for a violation
of the British revenue laws.
The schooner Florence, which sailed on
Lake Superior in 1916, and was seized by
the Canadian authorities last spring, and
condemned for smuggling, is advertised to
be sold.
The steamer Gore is to run on the Brit
isIl route to lake Superior, vil lake Slmcoe
and Owens Sound, and will make semi
monthly trips between the Sdult ST. Marie
and Toronto. Time of trip about sixty
hours. The distance is 4J0 miles less
than by the Lake Erie route,and the scene
~ for variety and beauty is unsurpassed.
The News notices the arrival of a small
boat which coased down from Carp River
loaded with several hundred pounds of bar
iron from Jackson Iron Works at thatplacc,
and SAYS the schooner Free Trader goes up
in few days for lead. 1 cargo of Lake

BRING HOME THE DEAD.
We speak Of Glory, and forget,
Amidst the glare it sheds around,
That with each step brave men have met
The soldiers fate on battle ground.
We crown the living with applause,
And hail them as the nation shield;
We cheer the living-there We PAUSE
And give the DEAD-the battle field!
Upon that plain, now calm and stli,
Perchance the wild flowers bloom around
And waving grass and sparkling rll
But little speak of battle ground
Tetmarta hosts met on that plain,
And rapidly their cannon peaIed
The living cheer their homes again
The DEAD lie neafh that battle field!
Yes there forever yelled from sight.

And chiefly won the battle ground
