SPECIAL NOTICES.
More Causes or Blood Poison.


Excessive labor offundue excitement sometimes
occasion serious sickness by causing an accelera-
ted motion to the blood. Grief, fear and anxiety
hurt by making the blood to circulate slower
Both causes may produce serious evils to the health
unlessprevented by timely aid. Hcro we are ad-
rhonishcd of the superior advantage of BRAN
DRETn's Pills. For If the blood goes too fast,
from nervous other causes, they allay the tur-
moil and arc healing balm to the brain. While,
should the blood circulate too slowly, tinting the
skin with a dark hue, they at once relieve the
blood of its excess of carbon; thus they relieve
the mind and restore the health. Should an or
gan be weaker than the rest, there impure matters
from the blood will bo deposited. This Is the way
Jumps, boiis, tumors. carbuncles, arc produced
All are cured often prevented, by the use Of BRAN
DRETH's PILLS.

ProviDENTIAL EscSsE.-Tho family Of
Mr.. John Amber, of Waterloo precinct,
this county, almost miraculously escaped n
terrible death from the falling Of tree dur.
ing severe wind storm one night last week.
It seems that the force of the wind had
blown the door of the house ajar, and Mr..
A. got up out of the bed to close it; but find.
ing that he was unable to succeed IN closing
the door alone, he called his wife to his as.
sistance; and, just as she got to the door a
tree fell across the house, crushing the roof
and the timbers which supported it entirely
in, and, coming on down, was precipitated
across the pillows upon which buta moment
before had rested the heads of Mr.. and Mrs.
Amber. There was young babe in the
bed at the timo of the falling of the tree,
but fortunately the little slumberer was rest.
ing some distance down from the head of the
bed, and thus escaped injury. There were
several other children, belonging to the fam.
lily, in the house at the time, all Of whom
were more or less injured by the crushing
in of the house, but none seriously. Mr..
and Mrs. 4 were only slightly hurt. This
may be regarded as the most providential
escape, in this section Of country, on rec
ord.

There was q very spirited Cecbr ttion
throughout the British dominiOns on the
10Th OF Jane, the anniversary Of the Access
sion Of Her Majesty, Queen Victoria, TO
tho throne Of England. The event thus
celebrated occurred June, 20, 1887, when,
on the death finer uncle, William ~, With
out issue, the crowns of England aud Han
over were separated, the former devolViug
upon Princess Nietoria, then in the nine
tecnth year of her age, and the latter, bv
virtue of the Salic awprevailing in Han
over which excludes females from the
crown, deyolving upon The Duke of Cum
berland, younger brother of the late King.
The crowns of the two countries had before
been worn by the same person since the
accession Of George 4, in l7l4. Queen
Victoria vas crowned IN Westminster Alb
hey, June %, 1888. On Febuary 10, $40,
she was married to Prince Albert When
the possessions of the East India Company
were transferred to the crown, in 1859,
Qucen Victoria was proclaimed Queen Of
HindOostan. From the very beginning her
true womanly aud domestic virtues aud ex-
allied purity of character have secured her
the universal respect aud confidence Of her
subjects. There IS not, probably, ruler
anywhere who 80 lives Ia the hearts of a
people a. Queen Victoria in the love Of the
English. II her grief for the loss Of her
husband had not secluded her too much OF
late years from her people, their devotion
would well nigh border upon idolatry 4.

IL her great statesmen In the Cabinet and

greater aud more prosperous than ever an

THE "EDTNBURG REVIEW on

ceivabe diversity Of language, race mAn-
ners, customs, and indeed agreeing in moth

A VERY pretty incident Is related of a
canary bird 10y Georgia paper. The door
Of the birds cage was occasionally left
open, that he might enjoy the freedom Of
the room. Ohe day he happened to light
upon the mantle-shelf whercupon was
mirror Here was new discovery of the
most profound interest. He gazed long
aud cuuously at himself, and came 10 the
conclusion thst he had found mate. Go
lag back 20 his cage, be selected seed
from ITS box and brought IL in its bill as an
Offering 90 the stranger In vain the ca.
nary eyorted himself to make his new
found friend psrtake, and becoming weary
OF that, tried another tack Stepping back
few inches from the glass, he poured forth
his sweetest notes, psuing now and then
for reply. None came, and, moody aud
disguised, he flew back 60 his perch, hang
iug hi- head in shame and silence for the
rest of the day, aud, although the deor was
repeatedly open, he refused to come ont
again.
