| cation into the affairs of the latter COMPANY
| having in that year led to the retirement of
several directors. Over the affairs OF the
| North British Company he presided with
| great ability, the qualities conspicuous Ia

foresight and large res ources. 1t was Mr.
Stirling who organized and made financially
possible the schemes for building the Tay
| and Forth bridges, enterprises which called

rest engaged, so to speak, for the expedi-

the Church of England, three are Roman
| Catholics, two are Presbyterians, and two
! Wesleyans. During the campaign In the
CrimeA there were but two Chsplains for all

Father William Strickland, went out with
| the troops to Sebastopol, and remained there

| the work, and was paid by the Order of
Jesuits, to which he belonged. He is said
to have at one time visited between 200 and
800 men in hospital every day. But of
| either Presbyterian or Wesleyan ministers
there was not one, and the Anglican clergy
| men had to read prayers to seven or eight
different congregations every Sunday.

has been sentenced to imprisonment for life
for crimes to which that punish ment seems
altogether inadequate. He is priest, and
his crimes were the murder OF two women,
members of his parish, who had shown him
| great kindness and over whom he had &C.
| quired great influence. Auriol desired to
! elope with q school teacher living in an
other parish, but he had not the necessary
| money. Both OF the murdered women,
| whose names were Marie and Rose Fonda
| were well to do. Marie was induced by
| Auriol to drink a decoction of hellebore
root, from which she expired in few hOurs,
| Her death was attributed to heart disease
and she was buried, no one suspecting the
| foul play. month later Rose died from a
| dose of prussic acid which he had given her.
| and In her will it was found that Auriol
| was her sole heir During his imprfsonment
