Cross ScHooL.-We spent an hour
very pleasantly on Tuesday afternoon,
at Cross school. Dropping in unexpect-

the school in its usual condition and
without any brushing up for the occas-

the classes were examined in arithmetic,
and the blackboard being used, we had
a fair opportunity of testing their pros
fciency. The impression made on our
mind is that Cross is doing his work

should understand that man who as

a "private citizen !" and further that it
is the duty Of the faithful journalist to
expose rascality, whether practiced by
the public servant or private citizen.

before we get through with him.

SELF-IMMOLATIoN OF ZOO RUSSIANS.
All the extraordinary proceedings Of
many fanatical sects whose rapid increase
has excited so much anxiety in Russia,
are fairly thrown into the shade by terri.
bic act of self.immolation which is reported
from the Government of Saratov. A few
months ago the propets Of a new religion
made their appearance in that part of tho
empire, preaching selfdestruction by FIRE
as the only sure road to salvation; and so
readily was their dreadful doctrine received
by the ignorant and supertitious peasautry,
that in one village no less than seventeen
hundred persons assembled in some wood.
en- houses, and, having barricaded the
doors and windows, set the building on fire
and perished in the flames. The authori.
ties are doing all they can to stay the pro-
gress Of this new madness, but their task
is obviously difficult one. The punish.
mcnts which the law can inaict must have
little terror for enthusiasts who deliberately
choose death 80 horrible as the true road
to heaven.-PaN Mall Gazette

Of Lake Huron the diver can see thirty or
forty feet away, but the other lakes will
screen vessel not ten from you.
Up here, you seldom think Of accident
or death, but hundred feet Of water over
your head would set you to thiuking. A
little stoppage Of the air pump, a leak in
your hose, careless action on the part Of
your tender, and the weight Of mountain
would press the life out Of you before you
could make move. And you may" foul"
your pipe or line yourself, aud, 10 your
haste, bring on what you dread. l often
get my hose around a stair or rail, and
though am not called cowardly aud gen.
