THE HUNT came off on Monday last as per
programme and finer day-saving perhaps
the power of the midday sun-could hardly
have been desired. The parties were arrayed
respectively under Captains HALL, and ANDER-
SON, and were some % each, in number. There
had been much talk and preparation for the
occasion, and all seem to have entered upon
their chosen task with arder and devotion.
The best evidence OF this may be drawn from
an examination orthe annexed list of the num-
bers rolled up by the members of the rcspec-
tive parties, emitting those whose count did
not go above 100. The counting of heads
and scalps, occupied the evening, and ii was
not until 10, or after that the tamished Nimrods
were enabled to sit down 10 the sumptuous
supper prepared for them at the Ashtabula
House. and TO which we were politely in

were constrained to forego. But here is the
list of the best shots in the match, and the

American Girls, Understanding.

A foreign correspondent writes: There
was an article in a London paper che
other day concerning American extrav-
agance in dress, which calls attention
particularly to the underwear of Ameri-
can girls. Some countess, who had
travelled with several of our country wo-
men on the continent, expressed great
astonishment at the fneness and costili-
ness of their underclothes. Hers were
thrown entirely in the shade by those of
her Republican friends. She doubted if
the caiabrics, linens and laces of the
Princess Royal exceed in value those of
the girls she saw. She also spoke Of
their outside laces and silks, the little
apparent value that was set on them.
Ii is true, then, in general, the Ameri-
can eirl is dainty in the choice of her
inner garments. This kind Of clothing,
of the most expensive make, is seen in
the shops here embroidered in intrinsic
patterns and trimmed with costly lace,
and there Il ready sale for it even at
the high prices asked for the article.

believed, this privilege was denied them
and they were closely watched in the
monastery where they were lodged In
this emergency one Of them, Bishop Ca
sangin, had recourse to stratagem. He
declared himself too i'll to leave his bed,
and having thus disarmed the suspicious
of the orthodox ecclesiastics, he quietly
got up, disguised himself it is presumed !
and, in company with the Archbishop of
Diarbekir, by the aid of borrowed pass
ports, succeeded in escaping to Naples,
intending to take the steamer thence to
Constantinople, If this story be true,
the freedom of opinion accorded to the
members of the Council would appear to
be somewhat delusive. In fact, one
might almost suppose it was the Council
of Trent, and not that of the Vatican,

Hot summers.
Il. wHITMORE,
Publisher and Proprietor

From the published records kept IN
Nuremburg, in Bavaria, we translate,
saws the Detroit Free Press, the follow
ing interesting facts relating to extremely
hot seasons in times past:
In the year 1882 the earth cracked by
reason of the heat, the wells and streams
in Alsaco all dried up, and the bed OF
the river Rhine was dry.
In the year 1852 the heat was so great
that sand exposed to the sun rays was
hot enough to cook au egg
In ll60 great numbers Of soldiers IN
the campaign against Bella died from the
effect of the heat
In l276-77 the crops of hay and oats
failed completely
In the years 10000 man could have
crossed, dry shod, over the rivers Seine,
Loire, Rhine and Danube.
In the years l393-94 a multitude of an
imaIs perished by means of the heat,
which was so great that the harvest
dried up.
In l44O the heat was extraordinary.
In the years 1888, 80, 40, Al, all the
rivers we're nearly dried up.
In 1856 there was great drouth,
which extended over nearly the whole of
Europe,
In i6I5-l6 there was in Italy, France
and the Netherlands an overpowering
heat ..Tr
In l64s there were fifty-eight consecu-
tive days of extreme heat.
The year 1918 was very hot, and as
were the first three years OF the eigh-
teenth century. fil
In Ills Il did not rain a single time
from April until 0ctoberl The growing
grain was burnt the rivers dried up, the
theaters (but wherefore is not stated
were closed by command Of the police.
The thermometer showed 36 degrees
Reaumer. equivalent to ll3 degrees Fab
renheit. In irrigated gardens the fruit
trees bloomed twice.
In 1923 and l724 tksre was very great
heat. !,
The summer of l746 was very hot and
dry. the growing grain being absolutely
calcined. 1t did not rain for many
months. ,..oos
The years l74s, 1854. 1860, ll67, IT'S
and 1888 we're also years in which the
summers we're extremely hot.
In the famous comet year-lSil-th
summer was very warm, and the WINE
produced that season was considered
very precious.
In the year 1918 the theaters had to be
closed on account Of heat, the highest
temperature being 80 Reaumer or III
Fahrenheit.
During the three days Of the revolution
of July, in 1880, the thermometer stood
at &c degrees Centigrade--about the
same as 9s Fahrenheit.
In 1882, during the uprising of the 9TH
and 9Th Of July. the temperature was
about the same.
The Seine was nearly dried up in 1895.
In June. 1850, when the cholera APP
peared for the second time. the tempera-
tufe was only about 75 Fahrenheit.
The highest degree Of heat that man
can withstand for any heightened period
varies from lO4 to l22 Of Fahrenheit
scale. But with a much lower tempera-
ture numerous deaths occur.

"A Romantic Marriage.

The Figaro relates the following ro-
mantle story: "The Prince Of Schles-
wig -Holstein, on his return from scien-
tiGc voyage which had lasted for several
years, found his library in state Of dis
order, He asked his steward to recon-
mend some one who could arrange it,
and the latter replied that the only per
son he was acquainted with was a young
lady who acted as companion to his wife.
This young person, Mile. Carmelita Es-
semblart, is the daughter of merchant
at Calcutta, who was formerly in wealthy
circumstances, but on his meeting with
a reverse of fortune the children were
obliged to earn their own living, and the
young lady in question had even ap-
peared on the stage. She accepted the
proposals made to her, and on her enter
ing upon her duties the Prince found her
so well educated and so intelligent that
he was quite charmed, and at last made
her an offer of marriage. The union is
to take place in few days, and the bride
groom has applied to the King of Prussia
for permission to lay aside his princely
rank and assume the title of Count de
Boer, so that the marriage will not be a
morganatic one.
