The singular Discovery of q Man aud =
Deer I'm . Block Of lee.
James Smithers. an English resi-
dent of Halliburton, Ont, while out
hunting with q party Of visitors from
the old country recently, met with a
singular adventure, which also led to
as singular q discovery. A band OF
moose, the first seen this far south
for many years, had been driven
down by the scouts of the expedition,
and lit was while in full chase of
these that the others swept on, leav-
ing Smithers to follow. Wishing to
Overtake them as quickly as possible
he took short cut across the cOun-
try and was astOnished all at once TO
fnd himself sinking. He fell about
six feet, but owing to the descent OF
the loose earth with him sustained
no injury. He was amazed to find
tie bottom of the pit composed OF
solid Ice OF q brackish taste. and
evidently OF untold age. Walking
about the pit Smithers made out an
object protruding from the icy foun-
dation and, with his short hunt
ing Ak, cut away the sur
rounding material until he saw
that the object was a human
hand holding a spear. Further exca-
vation revealed the entire figure of
man clad In fur garments and per-
fectly preserved by his cold bed.
Near at hand were also the remains
Of deer. which the hunter had doubt
lessly lost his life in pursuing to this
treacherous spoA The frozen man
was an Indian OF noble build and
wore chiefs amulet about his neck.
That he died by cold was to be
plainly seen by his expression, which
was the placid one Of persons who
die thus. The skin OF his face and
hands was drawn like parchment,
but that protected by his clothing
was firm and natural as if death had
come within the hour. When found
by his friends Smithers was trying
to RENTER the corpse in order to pre-
serve 1t. but the action of the air
had already begun and the body soon
wasted away in rapid dissolution. 1t
Is impossible to say how long it had
lain buried In the natural toulouse
perhaps before Henry Hudson sailed
the bay to the east; perhaps when
Christianity was dawning on earth

struction

Unmarried Frenchmen.

Of what avail will have been tho
overthrow of monarchy in France
and the, establishment in place
thereof of the principle of popular
sovereignty if the people of that
grand and historic country shall not
amend their social methods? Last
years vital statistics show that there
we're 1855 more deaths than births
in France. This is accounted for
by the growing indisposition of
French men and women to enter
into the marriage relation. The
men of manageable age seem more
and more unwilling to accept the
responsibility necessarily incurred
in the support of wife and the
rearing of a family. This is the
more remarkable for the reason that
French housewives are noted for
their thrift and business qualifca-
tons, often taking care of their hus-
band, instead of being supported by
them. This ability to provide for
themselves may, however, disincline
French women to matrimonial ad-
venture, thus rendering the ten
dency to celibacy a mutual fault of
the sexes.

FOR SOUTH AFRICA.
An Expedition Preparing in sonoma
To Leave in . Few Days.

To Leave in = Few Days.
An expedition is being fitted out
at Healdsburg, Sonoma county, for
the gold fields of South Africa. Will
liam Percival of Healdsburg is one
of the leaders of the enterprise, and
he has been at work on it for several
weeks. The party is now made up
and in few days they will leave for
the gold fields. It will consist of
about twenty-five persons, all of
whom are practical gold miners.
What prompted the organization
Of the party was tho news which
came to hand from Sam Connors,
formerly an engineer on the Com
stock. Connors, whose family lives
in Alameda, is general manager of
one Of the greatest gold mines in
the Johannesburg district. He
claims that no such another district
has ever been found, and says that
practical California miners who
strictly attend to business can do
very we'll there, and that majority
will do more than that, anassing, as
he believes, large fortunes.
Connors is now preparing to erect
the greatest quartz mill the world
has ever seen. He says the mines
he is working have a rich outcrop-
ping for twenty miles.
The Sonoma colony will sail on
an early steamer for New York, and
will then sail for Southampton. Ar
irving there they will take another
steamer and finally land at Cape
Town. Thence they will proceed to
the interior to the mines.
1t will cost from $4OO to $500 each
to get there. Mr.. Percival, who has
been at work forming the party, has
done SO, it is claimed, with great
care. Nobody has been enlisted who
cannot WELD the pick, put in blast
and do all the other work, and in a
frst-class way, which is required of
a skilled miners. f. Bulletin.

went on business to house on Wolfe
street which was undergoing repairs,
and when under the roof the dog, see

of an inquisitive mind, jumped out of
the window to the roof. The roof was
icy, and the dog being unable to retain
his footing found himself slipping to the
gutter. Then, with instant reasoning,
or instinct, he concluded that if he fell
broken bones would be inevitable, so
he made Il fearful leap to the street be-
low. The gentleman and those present
rushed down, expecting to see the poor
dog in a terribly manned condition, but,

MASONIC RELIEF LUNCH RooM.-
The committee having charge of the
Masonic relief lunch room met last
night and arranged to open the room
for dispensing soup and bread to-
morrow, Sunday, January 22nd., at
SOB King street. The hours for re-
ceiving the food will be as follows :
For white people, from 10 a: m. until
l p. ~, and for colored people from
. p. m. until 4 p. m. daily. The pas
to's of the churches are earnestly re-
quested to apply at once to Mr.. Geo.
I. Steiner, who will be glad to furnish
them tickets, free, which will entitle
the holder 10 one quart of soup, and
one loaf OF bread. 1t is the desire of
the committee that the pastors place
these tickets in the hands of the relief
committees of the churches in order
to secure a prompt and proper dis
tribution When their supply of tick
cts is exhausted it will be cheerfully
renewed. For the information of the
public at large, the committee desire
- state that these tickets are also on
sale should any citizen wish some for
distribution to any one who may come
under his observation, and can be OBJ
tanned from Mr.. Steiner for ten cents
each. 1t is hoped that the citizens
will cooperate with the committee by
purchasing tickets and seeing that they
are placed in worthy hands also by con-
tributing any Of the ingredients for the
soup and loayes of bread. The lunch
room will be continued just as long
as there is any need for it, and will
necessarily entail good deal of work
in preparing the food, etc. \ cook has
been engaged, Mr.. Jno. McCuen will
have charge of the lunch room and
Mr.. Strauss has kindly consented to
place special policeman at the door.
Now the committee earnestly ask the
wives and daughters Of all master
masons in our city to meet and ap-
point from among themselves suf-
iicient force to be present every day at
the lunch room, and sec that every
thing moves smoothly. On Sundays
they will be relieved from this duty
by the gentlemen.
