u to miles from tho village
Never before has a better opportunity been
offered to the man of moderate means to obtain
home in a healthy and fertile region and
thereby gain Independence.
We do not expect that anybody should take our
word regarding these lands, but ask everybody
DESTROYS of purchasing land to convince them
selves. A talk with one or more of the settlers
living around there will give the land seeker
better idea and will be Of more use to him than
our circulars and advertisements. We abstain,
therefore, from singing praises and only beg Of
the people to 20 there and Judge for themselves.

day to go there and return and to see ill that is

concert some two weeks since ut the
Peoples church. has returned to st.

at the Newmarket theatre. I. IL q
pleasure to praise these ladies, no
cbarningly do they sing. In their
national songs there Is the suggestion
Of the ford. the glacier. the mighty
mountains and quiet green valleys OF
their native land. As they sing one
may catch In the refrain the expression
OF that never-dying love to their
beautiful country, which every Swede
bears with him to his death. The
effect Is enhanced by the national
costumes worn by the singers. The
voices are clear, pure and without
musical conceits Of any kind. They
are cultivated as well, and sing not
only tie sweet old national ballads,
but difficult passages from grand
operas. Wherever the company has
appeared II has left hundreds Of friends

Three French royalists have just sold
the historical estate of D'Urville, of
which they We're by heritage the CO
proprietors. The purchaser is the Ger
man emperor, who took a fancy to the
place when he first visited Metz, and
has ever since watched for an oppor-
tunity of buying it. The estate in ques-
ton is wedged in between German Lor-
raine and Luxemburg. Some centuries
ago it was under the sovereignty of the
house of Orange, or rather constituted
q little sovereign state in itself
Louis XVI bought it from Maria
Theresa and the Emperor Joseph for
e40, 900. The king was to have gone
there if he had escaped from the Tuile-
ries, and would have been guarded by
a regiment of De Bouille's division. AS
Urville was close to the Luxembourg
frontier he could easily have with
drawn from France if threatened by
the revolutionary army. The estate of
Urville became part of the national do
main and was sold to the Bande Noire,
but the old chateau and the timber in
the park escaped being demolished
and cut down. The castle is noble
pile, and the park in which it stands is
richly wooded. Cor. London News

Sunday school convention. One of the
speakers had reminded the children
that it was Washington's birthday.
Children, said Gen. Fisk, ''you all
know that Washington was Q general.
Perhaps you know that l am also a
general. Now, can any one tell what
was the difference between Gen. Wash
ington and myself"

the back part of the room.
'tWell, what was the differencer'
said Gen. Fisk, smiling at the lads ea-
gerness.
'sGeorge Washington couldn't tell q
lie, sir" cried the boy in exultant tones.
Screams of laughter followed, in which
the general joined as heartily as the
