REMARKS.
The amount demanded for additional allow
ancs to the Depotsergeant is proposed to be
refused, as same is a new expense for which
no acceptable reason is given, and as it cannot
be seen that there has been any increase in the
work of the said Depotsergeant to warrant such
additional pay; and the state of our finances
will not allow of any increased expense.

BLACKWOOD, CREAGH.
The Chairman said that as it appeared thatthe
amendment introduced by the Government for
$968.32 belonged rather to Building expenses
than Military expenses, and that as the
amount was a large one-it might require two
discussions in the Council, and perhaps a Com
mittee to examine the detailed accounts regard
ing the expenditure which accounts had not
yet come in-he had intended to suggest to
the Government to withdraw the amendment
and introduce it as an additional Money Bill
to the Budget: but as the Government was
not represented he would propose to reject
it to-day, with the recommendation that it
be brought in as an additional Money Bill to
the Budget now being discussed.

PHILADELPHIA NEW CLOCK

The clOCk-tOWer to SurmOunt the
new public building in Philadelphia
is standing complete in the yards of
the Tacomy Iron company. This
clock-tower, which is entirely of
metal, rests on the marble work of
the tower which rises to height of
337 feet 41a inches from the ground.
Set in the stone base are eight COM
posite columns rising vertically to a
height Of sixty-seven feet eight inches
above the marble work, and above
that converging towards the centre
to receive and support the cast-iron
base-plate of the figure of William
Penn, at height of 173 feet inches
above the marble work base
The whole of the outside shell to
height of sixty-seven feet eight
inches above the marble work is of
cast-iron sectional plates of an ave-
rage of one inch in thickness. Not
to be included in this are the four
figures, the four eagles, and the
clock face. These together with the

BARLEY has never recovered its

STRANGE WILLS.

An interest in moruuary requests has
been recently excited by the wonderfully
generous provision that a rich woman
made for her young husband, and by the
discovery that Allen Thorndike Rice was
possessed of S250,0OO of which he knew
nothing.
Wills that are odd are not therefore to be
regarded as necessarily invalid, nor are
hidden sums of money always to escheat
to the state. Mrs. Hopkins Searles may or
may not have made her will under undue
influence, and it may be taken for granted
that the courts will find some one to own
the $50, O00-or that part of the sum even
tually saved from the lawyers-of which
MIR, Rice died in ignorance.
Odd wills have been sustained by the
courts these many years. There was
Thelusson's will, of quoted which left
100000 to accumulate through the lives of
his sons and grandsons, the accumulated
property to be paid to his Oldest great

grandsons, or else to be conveyed to the
sinking fund for the payment of the British
national debt. 1t was calculated that the
accumulations would amount to e19, DOC. UO(

litigation over the mat er, and the oldest
