A MUNIrIcENr GlFr.-Probahy the
most generous aud disintercstcd private
donation that has ever been made to any
cause in our Territory was that of Capt.
d. Il. Finch, last Saturday evening, Of the
Olympic building aud lot to the Olympia
lodge of Good Templars. The price paid,
was So 800, coin. We are not Templar,
nor do we expect to be one, still we refer
with pride to this generous act Of one Who
we have ever regarded as a thorough bust
ness man, courteous gentleman, and above
all, an exemplary Christian. The only re-
quest made by Capt Finch is that the
lodge fit up a portion Of the building and
maintain therein free public reading
room. The necessity for such place Of
resort has long existed, and the lodge now
owe it to their liberal patron to see that
his wishes in this matter are respected.
All honor, say we, to men like Capt. Finch,
who, while knowing how to make money,
know as we'll how to spend it. Not the
Good Templars alone, but the public are
recipients of benefit, and in their name
we tender sincere thanks. ~

Of Portugal in Mozambique are very extern

occupied by their troops, and whenever
they venture upon an expedition into tho

CRIME IN MAssAcHUsErrs.- San
Francisco Examiner says: "From the
Springfield Mass. Republican Of October
3lst, we extract the following statistics Of
crime in that State for the nine months
ending Oct. LIST, ofthisyear; There appears,
as the total commitments for oil crimes and
offences, 1885. OF these there we're for
murder, %; for ma''slaughter, 1G; forrape
81. Ufthc whole number committed, 8, 942
werc males, and 1854 were females-aa
increase for the nine months Of this Year
over AL Of hast year Of l, 246 commitments.
The increase of cases Of common drunken
ness for the nine months of this year over
the whole Of 1867, is stated to be 1876.
These figures show that instead of progress
ing in the true cause Of morality
the people Of sanity Massachusetts,, who
hold themselves as the cxomplars for all
other people to copy after, are actually re-
trogradiug into very shocking condition
Of crime and vice. Instead of sending out
her tutors and missionaries to educate and
reform the people Of other portions Of the
land, perhaps it would be better for Mass
achusetts to apply the correction pretty
efeetually At home, and reconstruct her
