FOREIGN MISSIONS BosroN-The orthodox
congregations in this city are accustomed to make
their annual collecting for the American Board
IN January OF each year. In anticipation of the
effort to take place during the present month, a
numbe OF gentlemen assembled a few da VS. since.
and passed resolution in favor of making de-
clded advance in the contributions of Boston. A
committee was appointed, consisting of one from
each congregation, to devise ways and means for
carrying this resolution into effect
We do not know how much has been already
raised Tor the missions of the Board; and some Of
the churches have not begun to make their collec-
lions; put we learn that the prospect is very en-
couraging.
Alta meeting held in the lecture room of one of
the congregations on Sabbath evening january
To- more than $4,000 were subscribed; and this
sum was carried beyond So, 500 few hours sub
sequently' Another congregation last Sabbath
evening commenced it's annual effort by sub
scrlptlon OF more than S. 400, Still another con-
gregation commenced its subscription with some
tnlng more than a thousand dollars from few
Individuals, which will probably be increased to
twenty or twenty five hundred dollars.
mus the good work is fairly begun in the city
and II al the orthodox Congregational churches
and societies do as well as those who have already
commenced the work of taking up subscriptions,
mere wlil be large increase on last years re-
ceiPts; The intention of the committee of the
cnorcnes Is to raise at least 1926, 900 from the
cnurcnes OF Boston this year.

Leaving clear surplus OFF,. $260,099 st
This latter sum is applicable to the completion
OF the canals 1t ia observable that this surplus is
less than it has been for six years past, as will ap
pear by the comparative table of revenue contain
ed in the report These revenues had reached, in
the year l647, 1881 1884, and in the year 1851
$685., 432, and the decline at this period is unex.
pected, and much to be regretted.
The canal debt of the State reached it's ma Ii
mum in the year 1874, when it was &20,7l3, 9O5.
1t is now $17,09l.269. 1t is obvious that the APP
preparation of 100000 annually after the year
1855, as contemplated by the constitution, cannot
be carriedinto effect out of the surplus revenues
The expenditures for the expenses of collection,
superintendent, and repairs of the canals during
the last six years, exceed the appropriations by
the large sum of 1922, 487. Exposed to the severe
competition of railroad companies, in private
hands, the commissioners do not anticipate any
increase in the canal tolls; and they assume that
the surplus for the current year will not exceed
$lO4.59
The canal certificates issued under the act OF
1851 amount to S 500, 600, and the premium re-
allied amounts to $l2,390 rs. Payment to the
extent of S. ,056,726 had been made on the canal
contract, when further payments were prevented
by the decision of the court of appeals Although
these certificates decided by that court to be H.
the State in the city of New York, offered to ad-
the interest due the lst July last on these
obligations, on condition that the treasurer would
keep that amount on deposit in the bank.
1t is now the duty of the Legislature to legalize
this payment of semi annual interest on the canal
certificates, and to refund to the Manhattan Com
pany the amount advanced to the State.
The report is long one, and enters into minute
details upon the subject of the canals, prospective
revenues and the means to be adopted to remedy
the deficiency Of revenues.

MATE.-Mr. Butler, lecturer on entomology, in
lecture delivered at Louisville, thus describes
some of the luxuries of the torrid zone:
"The bette rouge lays the foundation of ire
mendous ulcer. In a moment you are covered
with ticks. Chigoes bury themselves in your
flesh, and hatch colony of young chigoes in a few
hours. They will not live together, but every
chigoe sets up separate ulcer, and has his own
private portion of pus. Flies get entry into your
mouth, into your eyes. into your nose; you eat
flies. drink flies, and breathe fies Lizards, cock
reaches and snakes, get into the bed; ants eat up
the books; scorpions sting you on the foot. Every
thing bites. stings. or bruises; every second of
your existence you are wounded by some piece of
animal life that nobody has ever seen before, ex-
cept Swammerdam and Merriam. An insectwith
eleven legs is swimming in your teacup, a monde
