1t seems that about four years ago some
of the Brown family had an idea that
there were spirits about the house; in
the meantime, one of the family, who had
returned home, thought he would have
some fun out of it, and made machine
which he put in the oven, over the fire

could make it rap whenever they desired,
thus making those who believe in spirit

LONDON, April 8.
The Globe calls attention to rumor
of an extraordinary character which has
obtained currency in London that in the
case of the American government before
the Geneva Board of Arbitration esti-
mates the losses of citizens of the United
States by the capture and destruction of
American ships and cargoes by Confed-
crate cruisers built or fitted out in Eng
fish waters, at S14, 200, 900, and the ex-
penses Of the United States government
in pursuing said privateers at $500, 000,-
000..
The Echo contains an article upon the
union of Canada with Great Britain, in
which it hints strongly that the connec-
ton between the two countries is mere
ly artificial, and intimates that Lord
Dufferin is probably the last viceroy of
the Dominion.
The well known tavern, 'IIole in the
Wall, having been used as headquarters
by the Republicans of London, has been
refused license by authorities. New
rooms, in consequence, have been secured
for their meetings by the London Patri-
otto Society. Hon. J. Stuart Mill has
sent letter to the President of the As
ISOLATION enclosing EGO as contribution
towards the expenses of its change of
quarters, and expressing approval of the
resistance of the organization to an at
tempt by the government to prevent by
indirect means, discussion of subjects,
whichit Is thought too hazardous to
openly suppress.

Allen and wife an opportunity to ex-
press their regrets and tender a slight
testimonial of their love and esteem for
him as worthy pastor, an accomplish

opportunity so generously furnished was
eagerly embraced and resulted in sp0n-
tancouS flow of good will and sympathy
and an unceremOniOus presentation of
gold watch, beautifully engraved with
his name, its source and with references
to very appropriate scripture quotations.
The watch was presented by Mr.. S. W.
Bailey in a very appropriate speech.
Mr.. Crawford in accepting the gift feel
ingly responding abiding to the fact
that he came here direct from his
studies, they received him kindly, and
their many acts of good will had stimuli
ated him to to work for his Lord and
Master.
All are under great obligations to
Mr., and Mrs. f. l.. Allen who threw
open their house and prepared a very
fine collation. for the hundred present.
Wherever Mr.. Crawford may go he
may be assured the prayers of the Con-

with him. V.
