Boy Drouned-Misstcps Of Temperance nd
rccate-- Medicai Prescription, Sc.
DEAR Sic An intelligent and in
terestlng little boy of about 7 years of
age, only child of Mr.. Phillip Hopkins,
whilst playing on raft yesterday, fell
into the river and was drowned. His
body was recovered in a short time, but
all efforts to resuscitate HIM failed. 1t is
a sad bereavement to his parent, who
are deeply sympath ised with by all our
citizens.
A report is in circulation here, that
member of the Grand Jury of the
late Court, formerly strong and
efficient temper ance advocate, whilst in
attendance at court, fell from the high
estate and INDUCED too freely in the in
toxicatng cup, and on the next day to
make some amendment for his frailtv,
endeavored to get the grand jury to sign
a memorial against the license system.
His name is kept concealed and sim
cerely hope the report is unfounded, as
it is calculated to bring tn" great cause
of temperance into disreprte.
A lady remarked in my presence a
few days since, that ifthe proprietor OF
one OF our drug stores, would give his
| shop a dose Of the same kind Of medi.
cine he gives his customers, it would be
relieved Of good deal of often sve matter
especially IN the evenings. Perhaps he
will try the experiment. PETER.
This letter should have reached us
in time for last weeks paper; but die
not, owing to the absence of the mail
agent from the cars. Nearly every
week, We have cause for similar com
plant-Ed.

PRoTEsTANTs IN FRANcE.-The n.
York Evening Post says that the num-
Der OF Protestant Christians attending
their own places Of worship in France
is 100000. This differs widely from
a lengthy review of the French census
Of 1881, which appears in the Paris cor
respondent of the New York Courier and
Enquirer. This latter writer gives the
number at 1900, 900, and quotes as his
authority the Revue DIES Deux Mondees'
These Protestants consist Of Lutherans,
Calvinists, Methodists, Friends or Qua
kers, and Darbists. The principal sects
are the two first named, and these are
deemed by the government Of France
OF sufficient Importance to be allowed
share in the annual appropriations for
the support Of religion They receive
in the total $23o;52S. The Calvinists
have 5 Il ministers, serving 600 church.
eS. The Lutherans number about one
third of the Protestants of France; they
have 245 pastors. This sect has 10000
members in the city of Strasbourg, and
$4,000 in Paris.

New Brunswick AND THE FISHERIES.
The New Brunswick Legislature has
issued an address to the Queen in rncard
to the fisheries, in which they ask her
to continue the same protection to the
fisheries as was afforded last year, being
impressed with the belief that it will
prove much more advantageous and sat
isfactory than the acceptance of any
equivalent yet offered by the American
Government for participation in those
fisheries. They also oppose any for
eisner being allowed to participate in
the fisheries.

Col. HuGHEs' Mission TO EUROPE.

Col. HbGHEs' Mission TO EUROPE. -
Col. George w. Hughes, of Maryland,
the agent of the Crystal Palace exhibl-
ton, has, SO far, been quite successful in
his mission to Europe. At the last &C.
counts he was about to leave Paris for
Berlin and Vienna. 1t is stated that at
the interview at the TuilerieS, he made
most favorable impression upon Louis
Napoleon, and a letter in the Washing
ton Union, received by the last arrival,
says:
The articles which are to be for
warded to the American Crystal Palace
of exquisite skill and rare perfection
of workmanshp-by the French gov
eminent, will likely, upon the delicate
ly-expressed suggestion of Col. Hughes
to the Emperor, be conveyed to their
destination IN frst-class steamship of

THE jews. A remarkable change,
it is said, is progress among the Jews
in almost every country. Rabblnism.
which has enslaved the minds of the
people for so many ages, is rapidly los
ing its influence. Multitudes are throw
ing aside the Mishna and the Talmud
and betaking themselves to the study of
Moses and the Prophets. Among the
Jews in London there is, at the pres
ent time, great demand for copies of
the Old Testament. The subject of
the restoration to Palestine, and the
nature Of the promises on which the
expectation is founded, are extensively
engaging their attention.
