The onstitution makes it the duty of
each Vice President to visit all the Sab
bath Schools in their respective districts !;
to stirup and encourage the Sabbath School
work, and to have general supervision of
the work in their districts. 1t is hoped
that each Vice President will feel the i'm
portance ef this provision of the constitu-
tion, and as far as possible be able to make
a full report of the state of the Sabbath
School work in the respective districts,
from personal observation; giving the To-
calities where schools should be establish
ed, if any, and report the cause of
any lack of interest in the work in
any school of their district also if
any schools have been organized during
the year and if any schools have been sus-
pended and the cause such ofsuspension, we
are thus explicit, because a verbal resort is
desirable, and indeed, necessary in order
that the purposes for which the cOnven-
ton is called may be fully realized.
Programmes and blank statistic reports
will be furnished each school through the
Vice Presidents and Superintendents will
see that they are properly filled, and dsent by
the delegates, Oneof which will be appoint
ed from each school.
Arrangements will be made for the en-
tertaining of the delegates, and it is hoped
that every Sabbath School in the county
will be represented.

Shallow Drains are better than None.

WHILE we are firm believers in the eceno-

from lack OF means or time or on account
of an insufficient outlet, find deep draining
impractcable, will still find 1t to their ma,

Tue following anecdote oithe late Bish.

Mistaken Identity.

THERE came before one of the New
York courts, few days since, q German
woman, bringing under arrest man who
she declared was her husband Though
he disclaimed all knowledge of her, she
still Insisted that he was her matrimonial
lord, and had deserted her beyond the sea
AS proof OF her assertions she produced

to the prisoner, and affairs began to assume
decidedly serious aspect for him. LII spite
"l the most urgent protests, he was TO be
made the head ofa domestic establishment,
and be compelled to assume all the RESPONSE
bllitles pertaining there to. Very fortunate
ly for tie victim, however, he was enabled
IN tins trying emergency, to bring forward 3
witness who explicitly demonstrated the
truth of his assertions. Though the Court
decided In his favor the woman still insist
ed, as she withdrew, that he was her hus-
band, and nothing could convince her to
the contrary.
Other instances OF mistaken identity
hard' less striking, have frequently trans
pirt,. In September 1869, the body Of
| an unknown person was found floating in
the Hudson River. Subsequently, il was
positively identified" as that of Michael
Nelhl, a night Waterman. The remains
were buried, and the family went into
mourning, Imagine the latters, surprise

he had absented himself from the city. An
almost similar instance occurred but few
months previous, when an unknown body
was taken from the Lower Bay. A few
years ago an individual, while dying from
wound, identified, as he supposed, the
person who fred the fatal bullet. The lat
ter was arrested, convicted and hung.
