COY Investigation Society. Of which clerical
ChArlatan named Baxter was supposed to be
tho head. Baxter has been prophesying on and

Intending Napoleon Ill, Prince Bismarck. Mr..
aiadstonst DfsrAeii. and Gen. Boulnuger. and.
reasoning therefron. has quite as often conn-
oenoy announced the exact date OF tho end
ofthe world. Tho proposal to dsfils tho rooms

quack aroused such 0 storm of indiRuation
and r;dicule that LORD Mayor savory the samo
digoitary who has not yet answered the charge
OF stealing and uttering one Of Spurleon's ser

to bless. After witnessing q sertes OF
the most elaborate experiments and TAX

the committee has declared that the evils
attendant upon the consumption Of spirits
have oeen Rreauy exaggerated. and thas the
remedies which have bsen suggested for the
protecuon OF spirit drinkers against fusel oil

OF such doubtful utility that they cannot be
