Canal affairs seem TO be Frightening,
though, like the spring. rather late i'm the
season. a conference is reported as having
been held on Friday last at Cumberland be-
tween the president of the canal company
and population from the boatmen, from
which considerable advantage is augured. Ii
so. IL will be a consHmmation devoutly to be
wished. The boatmen, on their side, consent
(as they have all the time this spring. to set
freight at S1.25 and not claim demurrage for
delays in loading or discharging (as we I'M
dcrstand itl, If the boat owners will reduce
trippage Tor rent of boat) TO $50, and the
canal company will throw Off the toll on
each bOat-huIl. one way, which will be a re-
mission of S2.0i each round trip. To the coal
companies no further boon is offered than
heretofore, viz: that if they will ship from
the Cumberland wharves under control OF
the canal company they shall have their
shipping gratis. If now the canal company
can get possession Of the Basin wharf this
boon may be of some consideration to the
coal COMPARES " hich ship there; otherwise,
il is doubtful if the terms offered will be ac-
cepted. A day or two however, will proba-
bly, determine.

A retired liquor dealer of Vermont, whose
sands of life have nearly ran out, believing
that open confession is good for the soul,
tells how he converted himself into a travel
ing rum shop few years ago by wearing q
tin vessel made to nit the body under his
clothing, and having a rubber tube attach
ment through which he could draw a glass
OF whisky at pleasure. He states that he
found 1t exceedingly useful at agricultural
fairs, and subsequently he says he frequently
sat at his own door and sold liquor to the
passer- by while officers were searching his
premises for whisky. Vessels similar to the
one described have been I'm use by the snug
giers On the Canadian border for years. A
few years since ''smuggleress' was arrest
ed, and on her were found, next to the per-
son, number of tin vessels containing in all
about five gallons of spirifus (y7uacnf

The practical operation of the compulsory
education law In New York has developed
the fact that most of the absenteeism in the
public schools is caused by truancy. Teach
ers are instructed TO report all absentees to
the truancy department, and an agent spe-
ciaily employed for the purpose investigates
every case. The result is an increased at
tendance at all the public schools

IL Is to be feared that the present "cold
wave" has seriously damaged the prospects
OF good fruit crop this year, more especially
the peach cop. However, as dry weather

sleet- a few days will develop how far the
