A SOMEWHAT REMARKABLE SUIT IN CHAN
Gerry has been begun between two brothers
living on adjoining estates in this village.
The suit grows out of a dispute as TO the
boundary line between their house lots. So
far as we can learn, the plaintiffs brother
claims three or four inches at the front, run
ming TO point towards the rear. The dis
pute is whether the centre OF the side Of the
fence post at the front is the point from which
the true dividing line should run. Interest
in the matter is heightened by the fact that
the plaintiff is one Of the most distinguished
citizens of the village. He has procured an
ez parte injunction from Chancellor Homer
f. Royce enjoining the defendant brother, un-

A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT recently occurred at
Warren's furnace in Hickman county, Tenn.
1t was the rule to give signal before tapping
the furnace, that the blast might be shut of
and the men get out of danger. The Taper
through neglect, tapped the furnace before
the signal was given, aud three men standing
near were covered by a seething mass of melt.
ed iron. Two OF them were burned to death
instantly; the other wsded through melted
iron over 100 yards, and lived about two
hours in great agony. The Taper was also
fatally burned mule and cart standing
near were consumed by the river of melted
iron which poured out of the furnaces.

than a vulgar one" But thinking over it
SINCE much and often, see the reason for
her thought. A wicked act carries its own
sting with il. 1t is an active violation of
principle and right, and the trained con-
science revolts against its own wrong doing.
But the evil of vulgarity is insidious; it cloaks
itself under a pharisaical satisfaction of being
not so bad as its neighbor sinner it weakens
the healthy moral fibre of the soul, and by
first destroying its integrity leaves it open to
every after danger of sin and suffering. Dos

Colonial News.

The NeaO Zeotand Herald says: "For
the first time in the history of the Austria
lian colonies one great question occupies
the attention of the people in them all
Federation has been freely spoken of for
many years past, but it's discussion was
solely confined to speculative writers, and
it could hardly be said to have at any time
entered into the domain of practical poll
tics. But the facts that France showed a dis
position to take possession ofseveral groups
of islands besides those which she has held
for years; that these islands would be used,
not for the purposes of colonisation and
trade, but for enormous penal establish
ments and military stations, have quickly
changed the position of affairs. Already
the escape of criminals from New Caledonia
has been felt as a serious evil; and if the
French projects of transportation are COM
pleted, large numbers of the very worst
class of prisoners will every year get free to
spread over the British colonies in these
seas. The evils that this would involve are
very great and the colonists of Australasia
are determined to do all they can to avert
them. In this they anticipate the cordial
aid and assistance of the home Government
and of public sentiment in England. The
formation ofmilitary and naval stations by
European States in these seas would also be
a powerful menace to the trade and COM
merce of the colonies, and would compel
on their part the maintenance of military
establish ments. The Conference of delegates
from the Colonies which met in Sydney, has
concluded its labors, the Bill which the
members drafted for the formation of fed
eral coucil has been sent to England, and
the whole subject of their action is being
keenIy discussed.
