that DR.. Garyin, The only pro-slausr.y MAJ

t been appointed Postmaster Of that place
4 Upon this the Herald remarks:
Il It seems the policy Of the administra

i THs FARMERS LrFE.-The life Of i
farmer is much longer, in general sense
than the life of an individual who resides
in theIcity. Their average age at death is
"a years, while the average of maclinests
is little more than SO years. and that. Of
1benk officers is more. than So; that Of coop
eis more than So; that Of public officers
more than Sc; and that of sClergymen
more than 3d. Itisistated that thesever-
age Of teachers is little more than "a years.
We think, however, that there must be
some mistake in this. The average for ed
itors is 40, and for gentleman So. 1.-The
contrast is somewhat striking. Physicians,
it will be observed, average nearly 55 years,
| while printers go a trifle beyond &c., It is
said that like results have attended SINH
lar examinations in England. 1918 2

THE THRONE OF ENGLAND-Many per-
sons have supposed that in the event Of
the. death of Queen Victoria, should the
Prince of Wales(whois by no means heal
thy or St ong, )die, the Princess Royal,or it
may be Queen of Prussia, would be called
to the throne, and that, in that case the
King of Prussia would be theKing consort
of England. This is not so.,s The British
Crown descends like British land estate,
and there exist three healthy lives, besides
that Of the Princeof Wales, between such
an UT pleasant contingency The Princess
Royal of George Ills family did not sue
ceed to the throne after the death of George
Nv. In the time Of James l., Henry
P fince Of Wales, died, and Charles was
treated Prince of Wales, and afterwards
was King. a. sls lie pg es8
