THE state of the public finances of
Canada is exciting grave apprehensions
among thoughtful people. The Domin-
ion government, the provinces, coun-
ties, cities, and boroughs are day after
day becoming more and more heavily
encountered, and the situation is ag-
gravated by the enormous increase in
carrying On the government under
Lord Carnarvon's mistaken system of
federation, which has doubled the cost
without comforting any preponderating
benefit. Unless q most exceptional
period Of prosperity sets in, and keeps
in, Canada may within very few years
anticipate one of the most thorough
pecuniary collapses on record. Dur
ing the past ten years the valuation of
Montreal and other large cities has, so
far from showing an increase, shown
very much the reverse.

The Wabash, St. Louis & Pacific sys-
tenn is to be still further enlarged by
the formal absorption of the Toledo,
Peoria & Warsaw road, with 247 miles
of line, and the Missouri, Iowa & Ne
braska, with 164 miles completed and
an extension of over 100 miles in pro-
gress, these two acquisitions to hereafter
constitute the 'Peoria & Iowa division"
BY the aid of these roads, when the Mis-
souri,, Iowa & Nebraska is completed to
the Council Bluffs line at Shenandoah,
the Wabash company will have line
OF its own from Chicago to Council
Bluffs about $50 miles long, against 49s
by the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy,
and it will doubtless claim it's share of
the business between those points, now
divided between the Burlington. the
Rock Island and the Northwestern
companies, whose lines are of almost
exactly the same length.

The London Truth says: Errhe mar
riage of the Baroness Burdett- Coutts is
not likely to take place before the mid
die of October. The proposed marriage
is repulsive to nature, and, as the ex-
American might be her grandson, it
would be far better were she to adopt
him in that capacity, as by the cruel
blindness of marrying him she makes
him rich, but places him in so con-
temptable position that he is likely
to be stunned by all right-thinking men
and women. The Baroness first per-
ceived his feelings toward her during a
recent yacht cruise which they made
together in the Mediterranean, Henry
Irving, the actor, being one of the
party. Before this cruise, so the story
goes, she had frequently announced It
as her intention to adopt him."

WAR has been declared between the
Wabash and the Chicago and Alton rail-
ways The former commenced running
trains on-its Chicago and St. Louis route,
on the 18th, and, for the alleged purpose
of compromising the travelling public for
the announcement location of its depot, cut
rates one dollar to nearly all points west,
and announced its purpose to keep one
dollar under the rates of all other roads.

ABOUT the 18th Of last August an old
German farmer, named VIM. Rozier, liv-
ing in Furnas county, Nebraska, was
missed, and search being made, his body
was found in manure pile. An ANALYSIS
of his stomach showed that he had been
poisoned by strychnine. Frank D. White,
who had been living with him, had appre.
prlated some of his personal property and
old contradictory stories. He was ar
rested, and on trial last week at Beaver
City, it was shown that he had purchased
strychnine. The jury, after being out
guilty in the second degree, and on Mon ~
day Judge Gaslin sentenced the prisoner
to the penitentiary for life at hard labor.
The general opinion is that lie should
have been convicted in the first degree.
People talked strongly of lynching him,
but wiser counsels prevailed.

Fourth Of July passed off as in former
years without any special celebration. The
display of fireworks in the evening was very
fine, and the noise of guns, cannons, fire.
crackers, &c, equalled other days. No acci-
denis occurred in town of any moment, ex-
cepting the usual burning of the fingers of
the boys. In Upper Mauch Chunk some of
the boys got into wrangle and succeeded
in pounding each other in an admirable
manner. One OF the participants was seri-
ously hurt but he is now getting along.
Saturday the town filled up with stran-
gers, who remained over the fourth. The
American and Mansion Houses were filled

NTOuntaiss Grove Camp Meeting.
The association sends this, It's ninth an
nual circular, to the ministers, members and
frlends of Methodism and religion. The
meeting will commence this year on
Wednesday, August II |, and close Thursday,
August 10. The price of tents will be $500
for those in the circle and 5000 for the ave-
nues. Boarding for the term has been re-
duced to $3.50. By the day the rate has
been reduced to Sl.OO, so cents per meal.
Children under twelve years will be charged
half price. reduction of 20 per cent will
be made to ministers and their families. A
committee has been appointed to provide
good sleeping accommodations for transient
visitors at 25 cents per night.
The Central Pennsylvania Conference at
its session in 1879, by a vote of 122 to DO,
requested camp meeting associations to close
their grounds on the Lords day. In view
of this action; and believing that camp
meetings have offered the occasion for Sab
bath dissertation, and hoping that in this
plan a remedy may be found for the evil,
they have determined, as last year, to close
the gates on Saturday night at II o'clock
and keep them closed until after the Sab
bath. All other times during the meeting
the gates will be open ard admission free.
The religious services of the camp meet
ing will be in charge of Rev. W. w. Evans,
presiding elder of the Danville district, as.
sisted by other eminent ministers.
Parties desiring tents can secure the same
by making applications to the Rev. II. E.
Sutherland, Of Hazleton.
