slavery, to develop even the soil. Ihe
South raises now more cotton and to-

fore the war. 1t is growing richer,

A Domestic Tragedy.

In Amherst county on the 10th fight
occurred between Samuel V. Marks and
his son, in which the son got the worst
of it. The day after the old man, on re-
turning home to dinner inquired of his
wife for his son Willis He had hardly
spoken when the young man entered the
door. His father drew his pistol and
fired three times the first and second
times without effect, but the third shot
lodged in his sons abdomen. The Young
man fell to the floor, bleeding copiousIy
Marks went out Of his house, sat down
on a wall on the opposite side of tn
road, hardly realizing what he had done.
He sat thus for some time, when VIM.
Irvine passed him. Going to his house.
and calling Irvine, Marks said: esquire,
I'm going to leave YOU With these
words, he drew from his pocketthe same
revolver with which he had shot his son,
and placing it to his right temple, shot
himself. In few minutes he was dead.
The young man has since died.

We do not know what furnished the
grounds for the very clear and caustic
words of the Bishop of Huron, on
"Church life. as promot cd or killed out y
but would suggest the following texts as
appropriate to such an occasion:
Woe be unto tie pastors that destroy
and scatter the sheep of my pasture
saith the Lord. "-Jer: aS chap, verse.
Woe be to the shepherds of Israel
that do feed themselves should not the
shepherds feed the .Nochs ''-Ezek: "a
chap, 2 verse.
We take the following from the Eoa4a-
ge5ical Churchman, Toronto among
the subjects which called forth much ju-
dicious comment on the last day of the
Jubilee, was parish church-lifc us pro
NOTED or killed out, by the resident
minister. On this subject the weighty
words of the Bishop of Huron, and the
iudiciOus remarks on the same subject
by the Rev. DR.. Langtry, were heartily
endorsed by the conference before which
they were made-especially those in ref
erence to the desirabilty of changing
the personnel of the officiating ministers
from time to time. 1t was n question
practically, as the Bishop of Huron put
it, whether the cause, or the minister,
should be considered Us of the higher
value. 1t is notorious that in many
cases the minister considers his personal
interests to be of greater Importance
in a Parish than the very cause itself
which he is put there to promote. Too
often such men Gas the Bishop grarhi-
cally and truthfully expressed it, 'scuttle
the ship and wreck the cause"
