A GREAT misfortune has bsfallen the Cam
adams. They will be all scorched and with
cred up when they read the following from
the Nation:
A court in the backwoods, where neither the
manners nor traditions nor social ideas have
made place for it, must of necessity be good
deal of sham and the loyalty which it will
call forth will necessarily find expression in
mere imitation of forms borrowed from another
country and wholly different society. A
court. to be court, too. must have court
circle''-or, in other words, draw the line
somewhere as to the people it receives. 1t
must set in motion a thousand mean jealousies
and passions and competitions which are only
tolerable in England because time has given
them an air OF fitness and dignity, and created
q climate that quits them. Transferred to a
community like Canada they are likely to raw
age it with vulgar pretence and coarse humbug,
and destroy the simplicity which was or ought
to have been its best possession.
The idea has been prevalent that there was
some good old English blood in Canada, and
many families of honorable descent.

MAKING IcE.-Cieveland, O.. has
an ice making establishment, and the
Herald gives the following description
Of the process Of manufacture: The
process consists in the liquifaction and
subsequent vaporlzation of pure am
monlacal gas, and is based upon the
well-known law that liquids under
pressure, being allowed to expand or
volatilize, absorb large quantity of
heat. At one portion of the opera
tion pump Of ingenious construction
passes these ammoniacal vapors to
condenser, where the latent heat is
converted into sensible heat by com.
preston. Water passing over the
outside of this condenser carries
this heat away as fast as it is genera
Tae result is that the gas is reduced
to very small portion of the Original
area it occupied and is condensed into
a liquid under pressures varying with
the amount Of heat through which the
gas current passes. The result is, as
soon as this liquid ammoniacal gas is
allowed to expand in pipes iucased in
the sides of the tank containing the
water to be frozen, it rapidly absorbs
the latent and specific heat of the
water, and while the water is rapidly
converted into ice the liquid gas is as
rapidly volatilized by the addition Of
this heat which is absorbed. The act
ion of the pump being continuous, this
gas is then repassed to the condenser,
there to part with its heat under com.
preston, and is again liquifed, to be
reused in the freezing tanks, the act
ion being continuous and. without loss
to the gas, which is used over and
over again.
