GENERAL NOTES.

A Dover On. H) paper says that one of its
citizens aborer who receives only 81 IS per day. has
Just contributed $500 toward fund for building Roman
Catholic Cathedral
Albert George q colored man now in jail in
Houston, Texas, Is said to have committed less than
II murders during the last FIVE years. He has certainly
improved his opportunities being only SO years old He
ascribes all his crimes to habits OF tntemperance.
1t appears that the amount of property
which the American Bible Society receive from the
estate of the late MI Champion Of Rochester hos been
largely overesmated AS its charter does not allow 1t
10 take real estate by DEVISE 1t is limited to mOety OF
the personal property the entire value Of which s about
10000 80 that even if the heirs-asw not successful
In their attempts break the WILL the amount coming to
the Bible Society will be far less than was at first sup
posed.
Various paragraphs relating to longevity are
Just now ourneying through the newspapers. Notably,
we have the Rev. George Cotton of Yarmouth Me- who,
being three score and ten has just led to the altar
hymeDeal a virgin aged I6. What was curious was
that the said altar was set up in an orchard but the
Of Adam and Eve for $40 friends assisted at It, Secondly
we are told that Mrs Jere Beebe Of Waterford Conn.,
come to life that che has eaten hearty dinner of cab
bage and porkl Then Mrs Hannah Andrews OF Lowell,
generations Of discriminating OF them in all She had
pension from the Government, and deservedi IL.
The Temperance reform has reached Austria
la quarter In which 1t has been very much needed.
We learn from The AustraIastan newspaper that 1.-THE
Premier may fairly claim the political support Of the
Rechabites and teetotalers for Mr. Duffy took VOW Of
abstinence great many years ago, and has kept it Of
oourse We know nothing about the " of course" but
we are glad to learn that Mr. Duy has kepti it 1t was
in speech made in the Music Hall, Dublin is4s that
Mr. Duffy avowed his resolution. At the same time the
refrain from the use Of all Intoxicating drinks Til the
legislative independence OF Ireland should be estab-
John Mitchell and as the aforesaid independence has
not been established, except upon paper we presume
that Mr. Mitchell may still be classified as Total Alb
staner.
If one cannot get good meat for ones table,
one might better eat at ALI for 1t would be Just as
cleanly to adopt the dieteto habits OF the cannibas
for us to devOur the flesh OF diseased or prematurey
killed animals Committee Of the Boston City Council
has reported very disaReeable things concerning the
veal sold In that OF the calves furnishing
being brought to the shambles when only week old
One butcher testified: "A the commission houses sell
the calves tO them-goOd bad, and indifferent We
do ut know what the bad ones are used for The pre-
SUMPTION we suppose that they are used for food
partly the homes Of the poor and partly in the cheap
eating houses. There seem 70 be laws enough 70 put
stop TO this practice Of selling diseased meat II only
these laws could be enforced. Now, is proposed to
have Board Of Health, chosen for term Of years
the members not 10 be members OF the City Council The
DaIs AdncrtseT wisely recommends that the Board
should have ample authority independent & of the CITY
out consulting any higher power"
The Far Western press glows over the ad-
ventures Of q southern Carson, one Joe Peavey, who
rivals the great KIT IN tho completeness and intreydity
Of his indian raids. Recently Kiows ehief Leapins
Panther scaped and burned alive Q white borderer.
Joe set upon the pstb and penetrated hundreds
Of miles beyond Arkansas civilization to capture the
Eassn Coming TO the Indian camp he took up his home
with the red skina, and finally. after two weeks 40
jOurp nveRled the unsuspicous chief and two OF his
sauavs 70 take a ride with him to another tribe BY
deIterous sxaaeem joe induced his Indian companion
70 take road n6as Fork Sil and when at q safe dis
tance hOm the tribe, he turned upon his asounded con-
vOy and eveled his revolver at the head OF the chief
and threatening instant DEATH compelled ths artghed
eouaWs TO disarm and bind the helpless brave In this
