"Of every degree

An excellent suggestion is made by an
English druggist in relation 10 the dispen-
sing Of poisonous substances. He proposes
that, in addition 10 the word "poison." the
labels should have printed on their margin
the appropriate autido:es for each class of
poisons. A bottle containing mineral
acid, for instance, would have on ills label
POISON!
"If given by accident, give (mixed with
water, chalk or soap, or whiting, or cell
ing scrapines.'
Similar labels might be printed for the
various classes of deadly drugs. F:om the
greater ls:;ity of our laws concerning the
dispens ng of medicines, some such plan ae
this is more surely needed here than abroad ;
and II it were adopted we should hear Of

feet in length, weighing about FIVE hun

ANNEXATION.-ASa San Francisco dis
patch gays that there is on way to Wash
ington petition signed by 40 prominent
| citizens of Victoria addressed to Presi-
dent Grant, praying for the annexation
of British Columbia to the United States
Another petition of similar import will
be forwarded to the Queen. The docu-
ment is strongly worded, and sets forth
with great force the insulate, helpless
condition of the colony, and the impera-
tive necessity of forming a political alli-
ance with the United States--The feel
ing in favor of annexation is represented
to have received a new impulse from
the recent note of Earl Granville urging
the British Columbians to amilate with
the Canadian Donlinion. they regarding
1t little less than insulting, as it would
increase their burdens without affording
either political protection or material re
lief. There is little doubt that a maiori-
ty of the inhabitants of the Northwest
ern British Provinces would hail with
great satisfaction, annexation to the Uni
ted States. Their business relations
must, from their geographical position,
always be more intimate with the states
than with the Dominion, even though
they should be brought under that goy-
eminent, and the prospect is that these
provinces will yet form portion of the
American union

REUNIoN-The reunion of the Old
and New School Presbyterian Churches
is now an accomplished fact. This hap
Ply event took place at Pittsburg, on the
18th, in scene ofreligious enthusiasm, the
hike of which has rarely been witnessed
in the whole history of the Christian
church. DIR. Fisher, well known in the
literature as in the pulpit of the country,
offered resolution calling on the united
church for thank offering of 81 900, 900,
and this was only amended so as to make
theamount So, 900, 600 Other proceedings
of the meeting showed that the one great
church is resolved to enter upon renewed
activity in deeds of the charity and love
for which the Christian religion is dis
tinguished above all other religions, max
ing it infinitely their superior in the con-
ferring of practical benefits on mankind.
Sunday, November II. 1869. on which
reunion will be especially celebrated, will
forever be a noted day in the history of
the Presbyterian Church Of the United
States.

Specie Payments.

The publication Of letters written by
Attorney General Hoar and Senator Sum
ner advocating the resumption of~specie
payment by the government at an early
date occasions great deal of talk in pc
litical circles, and there seems to be a
growing feeling that this plan will be
very strongly supported by both branch
es ofCongress. Indications are, that there
will be large number of bills introduced
In the next Congress in relation to the
finances, especially upon the point of
funding the debt. Senator Sherman has
new bill almost completed which he
thinks would be acceptable to majority
OF financial men. Senator Morton does
not believe it possible to fund the debt
until after return to specie payments,
but nevertheless advocates the passage
of funding bill and offering q new

A CURIOSITY OF EsuGRATIoN,-The
crowding of the Chinese into this country
presents a very remarkable piece of emf
grafton statistics, but the greatest curios-
ity Of all in that line is the movement of
Irish men and woman going from the
south of Ireland to make their homes a.
mong the Arabs and Berbers of Algeria.
The Cork Constitution says that over
100 of these people have already booked
themselves for Bona, in steamer char
tered by the French Government. The
change of climate will no doubt be a great
trial for them, but, the passage being free,
they think they can do better in Africa
than in Ireland, even with the promise
of Mr. Gladstone land bill A Catholic
priest goes with them, and, as the Bona
district has some agrarian advantages,
they will probably make themselves COM
Portable in some little colony Of their own.
