Carelessness and Longevity.

The experience of the English clergy
man, Canon Beadon, who lately died at
the age of one hundred and two years
offers few suggestions to those who seek
to know how they may attain to long
life. He ate anything with impunity,
not only eating heartily at every meal,
but often nibbling biscuits, ect., between
meals. He drank moderately of wine,
and was to the last very fond of sweet
things. He never knew what headache
or rheumatism was, and when middle
aged man could and would go out shoot
Ing. from morning until night, exposed
with no ill-efect to cold and wet. At
nlnety-seven he had the first severe i'll
ness of his life-an attack of bronchitis.
Up to this time he had performed service
in his church every Sunday, with his
regular three months duty in Wells
cathedral, his voice continuing distinct
and powerful. To the day of his death
he never lapsed into anything like
second childishness." Possibly the
explanation of his very long and healthy
life lies in this: He had a most imper-
turbable temper and singularly even
spirits, and would not allow any thing to
worry him. He had many an enter
tanning remembrance; not the least of
them was being held up to the window
by his nurse to see the soldiers in the
street during the Lord George Gordon
riots. This was in 1880; the future
Canon was then three years old.

Terrific Gale ON the Atlantic.

On the 18th inst. the New England coast
was visited by the severest rain storm and
tornado that has been experienced in that
section of the country for many years, in.
nloGug great damage to property both on
land and water. At Newport the Yachts
Wanderer and Murrill Of the New York
fleet were beached, three yachts sunk at the
wharf and twenty or thirty sail boats sunk
or damaged. At Norfolk the wharves and
warehouses were flooded, the handsome
spire of the Freeman Baptist church blown
down and other buildings wrecked. The
damage is estimated at from $500, 900 to
100000. At Morehead City, North Caro-
lima, the Atlantic house, the largest hotel in
that part of the country, was entirely de-
molished, not vestige being left. There
were $50 guests in it, and there was not
particle of clothing saved By
any of them. The people did not
begin to leave until the waves were
literally breaking the hotel to pieces, then
there was stampede. All the baggage.
furniture, etc., went to destruction. John
Hughes, son of Major Hughes, of Newbern,
lost his life in the wreck. Front street at
Beaufort is strewn with lumber, trunks and
goods. Crowds of people, some barefooted,
are trying to identify their property.
The Ocean View House and other hotels at
Beaufort were damaged badly, and many
private houses ruined. There is not a
wharf left in Beaufort, and only two or
three of her hundreds of sail boats are fit
to sail in. Towns all along the coast report
long list of casualties to crafts and prop
erty, but happily no loss of life.

claim for the restoration of that or any
other part of the Halifax award upon ground
of non-fulfllment of conditions. The state
of affairs which prevails between our north
coast fishermen and British American tsh'
ernnen, who consider themselves justified IN
using force to carry out local prohibitary
laws, is regarded by our government as ex'
tremely dangerous and liable at any moment
to lead to bloodshed and serious interna-
tional misunderstanding, and it is therefore
very anxious that some steps shall be taken
by the British government to do away with
local prohibitary laws of the Canadian prov
inces, which now practically override and
nullify the treaty provisions of far higher
authority.
