The habitans of Canada are enjoying an- other miracle, which is calculated to strengthen their faith greatly. A deyout young father named Joseph LeClerc got astray in the woods near the Noire river. and though he might have been supposed to have been in great straits, this was not the case. He avowed before witnesses that he had never suffered the least from hun ger; that tall lady in white, very beauti- ful and amiable, had every day brought him two supplies of food, consisting of a sort of large round biscuits, far better than any biscuits he had ever seen before. She came to him flying, and at night covered him carefully with large quilt, which kept him quite warm. These are the certain facts, according to the Union des Camto,as. which adds: "Who can explain them oth- erwise than by a mysterious protection of Heaven? If not, we must start many suppositions, and it is more natural to be- lieve that the Holy Virgin condescended to take care of this young man and to re- store him in safety to his family as a re- ward for his virtue" ~.

NEWSPAPERS, by enhancing the value of property in their neighborhood, and giving the locality in which they are published a reputation abroad benefit all, particularly if they are merchants or real estate owners, thrice the amount yearly of the sum they pay for their support. Besides, every spirited citizen has laudable pride in having paper of which he is not ashamed, even though he should pick it up in New York or Washing ton. A good-looking, thriving, live newspe- per helps to sell property, gives character to the locality, and in all respects is a desirable public convenience.
