As TO the reading matter, it is universal

DIX. LIvIHG>roH ALIvE.-Ihe Who'll,
Civilized world will read with lively sat,
i>iaciion the undoub;ed correction Of the
iong-rumorcd death OF DR.. Livingston,
the great African explorer. Ever since
the story oi his fate was first reported b,
the natives who protested TO have wit.
messed it, there have been two sides,
comprising some Of the most prominent
scientific men OF the day, engaged ii
speculation upon It's creiibility. Sil
Roicrick MorcliisJn has lei those whl
put 10 faith in the story, while Sir Sam
neI Baker, himself, q famous explorer
lent the weight Of his Judgment in favor
Of lis probability. When such doctor:
differed, common people might well disa.
gree. But at no time have the mass q
intelligent readers, on both sides OF the
Atlantic, given up hope Of hearing thai
Livingston MAS yet alive. 1t now ap,
pears that he was 50 in April last, which
was long after the date of his reported
murder. 1t may he confidently trusted
therefore, that he Is alive now also, thai
he will return to the bonds OF civilization
in due time, bearing new and most valu-
able stores OF information respecting the
continent OF Africa.

FENIANs HUNG.-The cable announ-

FENIANs HUNG-The cable announ-
ces that the condemned Fenians, Allen,
!.arkin and Could, were hung at Man
chester, England, Saturday. There was
10 outbreak and rioting, as some feared
but the city was quiet A large crowd
witnessed the execution.
The demonstration of sympathy for the
fate Of the prisoners took place at Lon
don, Sunday. At noon a funeral pro-
ccs>ion consisting Of about 2O00 persons
was formed and slowly marched to Hyde
Park. One of the most conspicuous OBJ
jects in the procession was large black
banner, upon which was inscribed the
motto, "Alan's inhumanity to man makes
countless thousands mourn" On the ar
rival of the mourners at Hyde Park a
solemn meeting was organized according
to the program previously announced
Three stands had been erected on the
grounds from which, during the after
noon, the people were addressed by vari
Gus speakers. Strong appeals were made
to the sympathies Of the audience, and
the hurried executions at Manchester
were condemned in bitter terms Not
withstanding the peculiar nature Of the
occasion and character of the assemblage,
good order prevailed throughout the pro-
ceedlngS, and the police. who were pre-
pared for any emergency, were not once
called upon to interfere. In the EVENING
Il similar meeting was held in a public
hall, which was largely attended by Irish
men. No disturbance whatever occurred
and the city is perfectly quiet.
Col. Burke, prominent Fenian lead
er, was arrested at London, Sunday. 1t
is alleged that he was the organizer of
the secret expedition which threatened
the capture of Chester castle, in Febru-
airy last.

place, CORES bonding demand for wool.
1t Is also true, that those persons who
have, in the past, without regard to the
ups and downs in prices Of wool and
sheep, Steadily continued in the sheep
husban(Ty, have succeeded better, on an
ayera,!e, than those who have changed
from one business to another. We
would therefore suggest to owners Of
sheep that it may not be the best policy
to part with them at present prices.
They should remember that revival in
all kinds of business surely follows a
depression.

bodies the whole ground for imp'lc!I-

Thanksgiving.


The welcome anniversary has once
more returned and brings with it a long
train Of pleasant and unpleasant remem-
brances. Another year has gone down
to the tomb of time since families were
gathered around the table TO partake OF
the glorious feast which this day is sure
10 bring. The wanderers were there all
at home. The circle was there entire ;
thero was no vacant chair. Each broth
er was there to speak a cheerful word,
each sister to bestow her ready smile,
and kind father and loving mother
We wonder if all are beside the old
hea-thstone to-day, anxious to spend
even few pleasant hours with friends
and scenes which associations in youth
have made doubly dear We hope every
family circle may be complete when the
PRAYER is offered and thanksgiving to
God from whom all blessings flow. We
hope no wanderer will be deprived of the

The Great TFdIkiSt.

lHere Is great enthusiasm over WIS
ton in Ohio. The Cleveland Leader has
the following:
1--WE left the pedestrian at forty-fige
minutes past seven OH Saturday evening,
stretched upon sofa at the Fremont
House at Conneaut, his brain dizzy with
fatigue, and feet parboiled and swollen
with nine unaccomplished miles before
him. and his heroic trial of the hundred
miles failure. To the walker and his
friends, the hour is dark one, but ia
tigue soon triumphed, and Weston, his
feet bathcd and dressed, and his steak
dispatched, was soon in the oblivion OF
sleep: not, however, till he had received
and greeted the greater part Of the popu-.
Iation OF Conneaut.
He slept his usual seven hours-he
never sleeps more than this-and on Sum
day morning arose fresh and blithe as a
lark. How he had shaken off the effects
of all that he had endured the day be-
tore was and is still wonder. But Wes-
ton is throughout Il marvel a mystery.
The ordinary physical laws which gov
ern man. are at loss when applied TO
him. lie eats daily enough food to suS-
tain three ordinary men. lie rarely, in
the warmest weather, or when walking
fastest, perspircs drop. If lie grows
nervous and excited, he must either shed
tears or bleed at the nose After the
most severe exertiOn he is never out OF
breath. Pedestrians usually lag toward
the end OF a days walk. Weston is ca
pable OF six miles per hour till he drops.
The walker spent the morning at church,
and lie afternoon i'll arranging his trunks,
talking 20 the people vino came TO see
him. kissing the babies OF ambitious
mothers, and discussing Theology, poll
ties, and a dozen other subjects with those
; who sought his room,

and at an early hour he retired to rest.
At halt-past one he arose, and again
launching out at > o'clock he pulled the
fourteen miles to A,htabula i'll three
hours and twelve minutes. Resting halt

forward, reaching Geneva at two minutes

The LEGISLATURE.

The refusal of the Legislature TO al
low the Burdens of Troy to build rail-
road to their iron mines in SALISBURY,
is everywhere sharply rebuked. and the
Troy Times saws of it il: The whole
history of the legislation of this country
probably does not present a parallel to
this and we doubt if another instance
can be found where legislative body
has denied charter for a railroad de-
signed simply and solely to develop the
resources of a state" The Burlington
Times likens T. W. Parks opposition IN
the Legislature to the project to "a Cali
fornia bear" snorting and growing and
running out his great red tongue in rage,
and proposing to eat up everybody that
he fancies an intruder upon his iavorlte
feeding ground.
The Burlington Free Press of the 18th
has the following:
The Legislature, we believe, adopted
all the recommendations OF Governor
Page, presented in his message, with one
execution. His sensible recommendation
in reference to the collection of taxes, 10
the effect that the proper officers be re-
uuired to include III one rate bill all the
state, county, town and other taxes, a,
is done in Massachusetts, and other
states, was duly incorporated in bill ;
but met the opposition of every man in
the House who was, or had ever been 4
tax collector-wc suppose because 1t
would he likely TO diminish the commits
sions allowed 10 collectors, and failed.
But the other important suggestions OF
the Governor were adopted and OF the
resulting legislation, that for the devel-
opmcnt OF manufactures i'll the state and
for the reformation Of the attachment
law, will make his first term Of office
memorable, if nothing else does
