THE catholicitx of ScRIBNER's MONTHLY is well illustrated by the June number, which must certainly appeal to wide range of liter. ary tastes. For lovers of light reading there are papers on Rocky Mountains Nights (both poetical and practical) ''Spring Here abouts, .. e. in New York and suburbs, with illustrations "Thackeray as Draughtsman, ' with over thirty reproductions of the novel. ist's sketches; Life in Florence" a spright. ly paper from an American point of view ''My Friend, Mrs Angel" humorous story of Washington life. The current political in. terest is appealed to by H, J. Raymond's jour nal of 'The Philadelphia Convention of 1866, ' and Henry King picturesque sketch of "A Year of the Exodus in Kansas" and indirect ly by Principal Grants third paper on ''The Dominion of Canada" dealing with it's polti. cal and social history in an interesting and able manner Other papers, more solid and of curious interest, are DE: Scudder's paper on civilian Blake, Poet and Painter" with portrait illustrations, including s'The Chariot of Fire" and others never before engraved : Rev. Isaac r. Halls account of "The Cypriote Inscriptions" the specimens of which in the Metropolitan Museum were deciphered by him and Richard A. Proctor's s'Sunspots and Financial Panics" an intended reputation of Professor Stanley Jevon's elaborate theories, based on former playful suggest lon by Professor Proctor that these two phen- omena are intimately connected. The reap pearance of the sun-spots, and the recent ru- mors of financial panic give interest to thus paper. Schuyler's Peter the Great" is in- terestingly illustrated, and deals with Peter's first marriage, the administration of Sophia, the eternal peace with Poland, old Russian sports, etc, etc. MT. Gables ''Grandissimes" is rapidly justifying the high claims made for it by the publishers. This installment is said to be the most dramatic in the story, pos. sibly excepting the episode of Bras Coupe and the closing part. The departments contain many articles of special or timely interest, such as The Political Machine" ''The shad- ow of the Negro," Beaconsfeld and Glad stone," "Letters to Young Mothers" re- view of ''The Art Season" "Steam Catama- ran" Seamless Paper Boxes," "Cheap Ven. tiatiop," "The photograph in the Moon two Centuries ago."

 Resolved. That while we bow in submis- sion to the dispensation of Him who doeth all things well, we desire to record this sim pie token of respect to the memory of our de- parted brother, and of sorrow for the loss we have all sustained. For more than half a century Dr. Wright lived in this community, practcing his profession, and ministering to the comfort of the sick and afflicted. In common with that community we mourn the loss of the experienced and skillful physician, the kind and genial neighbor, the faithful and sympathizing friend. Full of years, like a sheaf of wheat fully ripe, he has entered into rest Let us cherish the hope that he has re. ceived the white stone with new name writ. | ten which will insure his admission into the Celestial lodge above, where the Supreme Grand Master of the Universe presdes. So mote 1t be-.
