Five at q Birth.

About four miles from New Glasgow,
Nj s., says correspondent of the Hall
fax Chronicle, there is settlement
called Egypt-a cold, stony, half-barrcn
place. There dwells Adam Murray,
rather sickly specimen of the hardy
Highland race from which he sprang.
Hiswife, on the contrary, is strong,
healthy, rugged woman, of about thirty
seven years of age, who had seventeen
sisters and brothers, besides her cousins
and her aunts by the dozen, her mother
giving birth to eighteen children, twins
three times. This morning when DR..
Fraser arrived at the house Adams fam
lily numbered seven, all told. One hour
afterwards, to the astonishment, if moi
the delight Of the happy father, the
number was increased to twelve, hi,
wife giving birth to five children. thret
girls and two boys, all living and perfect
Iy formed. No doubt Mrs. Murray will
receive Her Majesty's usual gratuity IL

Professor Stones "Micrometrical Measure
merts Of Double Stars"

Published by authority of the Board of Directors
OF the University of Cincin ati.
We are pleased to acknowledge the re-
eeipt of 'py of the latest of the publica-
tions of that justly celebrated and very
important department of the University Of
Cincinnati-the Cincinnati Observatory.
This work comprises The "Mcrometrical
Measurements Of Donble Stars observed
with the elevell-inch reiractor from Janu
ary II, 1873, to September l, 1879. This
labor, at once 80 extensive and minute, was
executed under the immediate superin-
tenience of Profess Ormond Stone, the
able and accomplished Director of the Ob-
servatory. The number Of these stars thus
catalogued is one thousand and fifty-f'ur.
of which eighty five are cla-sei as having
been originally detected In the pr gress of
these observations bt Professor stone and
his assistants, Messrs. Howe and Esbert.
The vast amount of laborious and accn-
rate research required in the compilation
of this volume will render it Of staLdard
value to other observers, while it is in
every way highly crrditable to Pr fessor
Stone, whose ability and zeal in his chosen
path of science have enabled him at so early
an age to attain foremost rank among
American astronomers.

The Pictures at the Reception.

The pit.tures exhibited at the reception
on NJ rnday evening by the artists Of Cin-
cinnati were not up 10 the standard Of any
Of those who offered them. Dunsmore's
'.Macbetl," was, of course. the great CEN
tral att action, but the picture, while pos
sessing great merits, is full uf equally
grave faults. Ambitious and suggestive in
idea, it lacks In execution. Macbeth and
the Knight behind him are destitute Of ac-
tiou. and stand like two lay figures, wholly
wanting in proper expression. The two
standing witches are well conceived and
drawn, but badly painted. The kneeling
figure is doubtless intended to be witch,
but does not impress one happily with t. e
too strongly accented lines OF shadow and
gaunt masculine figure. The landscape
and sky are passable. but the furesroun +,
especially the rocks, are inexcreably pad in
color, the effect of chemical lights on the
scene not being harmopiously carried out.
Twachtman's little landscai e is alto
gether bad. we regret TO say, with tie color
and in execution. Mr.. Twachtman knows
how to paint better pictures, evidently,
and ought not TO show such specimens at
such an exhib ton.
Mr.. Mobiles image vender is the only one
