There being now pending in the war
department great numbers of volunteer
pension claims which cannot be satisfacto-
rily verified for want of information which
missing records of discontinued volunteer
commands would afford, and it having
transpired in many instances that officers OF
the late volunteer forces have still in their
possession or under their control books and
records pertaining to their corps, divisions,
brigades, regiments and companies, their
attention is called to the fact that all such
books and records should be deposited with,
and they are earnestly requested to cause
the same to be forwarded without delay to
the adjutant general of the army, at Wash
ington, district of Columbia.
-June-the pleasantest of all the twelve
the month of roses, and one most well
come, is here. To live in the month OF
June is delight, and to have been spared
to sec this beautiful season again, clothed
in infinite loneliness and radiant with
boundless activeness and the most replend-
ent touches of nature, who is her own arch
itect and artist, is blessing that deserves
special recognition. A perpetual June
might not make paradise of our surround
ings, but thirty days in year of the con-
ditions that this month brings, afford
about as blissful state of existence as we
can imagine on this earth, and there are

Here is the meteorological bill of fare
offered by Vennor, the Canuck weather man.
He says: "June is likely to prove very
warm, even hot and dry up to the 10th or
18th days. Beyond these dates cool and
showery weather is probable up to the Goth,
and frosts are likely to be experienced pref
ty generally both in Canada and northern
states. A snow fall is not improbable In
regions. The neighborhoOd
of the 22nd and 23rd days look, in the dis
lance, particularly cool and frosty, while
the Gath to Goth dates, on the contrary,
smack Of heat in many sections of the coun-
try. The neighborhood of the Goth is like
ly to prove stormy in western Ontario
and western United States, the storm be-
ing, in all probability, accompanied by
lightning and hail. The month will end
hot, in most parts, with threatening wealth
er.
On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day of next week, there will be temper

egates from all the temperance organiza-
lions in the fifteenth, sixteenth, seventeenth,
eighteenth and ninteenth districts will be
n attendance. The exercises which will
consist chiefly of discourses upon the sub
ect of temperance and others kindred to
t, promise to be of extraordinary interest,
Is persons whose ability to treat these sub
ects is well known, will be present and
AXE an active part in the meeting Mrs
L. j. Rittenhouse, the vice president OF the
alliance of this, the eighteenth district, will
De there and submit paper upon the SUBJ

News from Germany indicates that
never since 1S4S have affairs been in so
strained a state. The situation is a very
exciting one Az election is impending

nearly all his trusty friends. He has lately
suffered defeat after defeat even in this
most obliging parliament, while all the
elections which have taken place for some
months past to fill vacancies have been
carried by the progressists. The liberal pa
pers are reprintng Macaulay's opinion of
William Pitt, that he was, during the last
years of his official life, of unsound mind.
Macaulay describes Pitts naughty way, and
laments that he had not single warm
friend or admirer when he died. The Ger
