The pair of horses stolen at West
Ferrisburg some two months since
have just been recovered in Montreal
where they had been sold at auction.
The purchaser refused to give them up
till he was given $50, the price paid by
him. AS the Canadian law, that stolen
property cannot be recovered wherever
found, if such law exists, is said to be
in conflict with extraditiOn rights, the
owner will apply to the British minis
ter at Washington for indemnity. The
man Flanders, one of the thieves, has
been captured and brought to Yer

the idea that there was fresh water ice
in the Arctic regions, and said that the
snow became salt few hours after 1t
had fallen. The ice often reaches a
thickness of ten inches. In conclusion,
he expressed the opinion that there
is nothing to be gained by expeditions
to the Arctic regions. He thinks that
circumpolar posts of observation will
answer every purpose of useful scien-
tifc investigation. The Portland Adj
vertiser well says: Surprising the
pole were gained, the result would not
be of great practical Importance. 1t
would solve some geographic problems.
1t would settle the hypothesis of an
open polar sea, and would afford the
discoverer the triumph of having per
formed very difficult feat. The rest
can be attained as well by establishing
circumpolar stations, where all obser-
vations of practical use to science can
be safely taken. The plan is already
being carried out. Ten nations will
participate, and when all the parties
are in the field there will be a series of
posts extending nearly half way around
the Arctic circle. The United States
have two colonies now at Port Barrow
and Lady Franklin Bay on the north
ern verge of the American continent.
The Austrian expedition is on Jan
Mayen Island between Greenland and
Spitzbergen. Denmark sends a party
to Greenland, Germany to Cumberland
Bay, Russia to the Lena delta, Sweden
to Spitzbergen and other countries to
other points. At these posts trained
observers will work and watch their
chances to push farther north if advis-
able. The stations will be supplied
from their several countries during the
warm season. Many of his hearers
would have been glad to have had him
speak further about the finding of the
body of Captain belong.

The Lecture Course.

The lecture committee having been
for Dee. ) or any other open date, they
have arranged with Rev. o. p. Clifford
of Boston, who was advertised to lee
ture in the course Feb. %, to take Mr..
Collyer's place next Tuesday evening.
Mr.. GittOrd's subject will be "Across
the Continent" He is now cOntrlbu-
ting II series a letters descriptive of Il
trip he made to the Waterman and
Reflector, Boston, in which his powers
of description, combined with his in
nate qualities of humOr, are well
shown. He will speak particularly of
good opportunities to observe the
workings of these systems having been
afforded him. We shall he disappOint-
ed if the lecture is not highly enjOya-
bic and entertaining as well as instruc-
tive. 1t is but justice to say, in this
connection, that the failure of Robert
Collyer to lecture as advertised is by
no fault of the committee ; and that he
endeavored to help them out by offer
ing to come on the 9th, but that con-
tiicted with the session of the Christian
workers. Arrangements are being
made to supply the vacancy by an at
traction equal to the one advertised.
