Mr. T. Pally, forntetly of the Heron staff and oow.epeoul *gout in (ewe • of the statistics of navigate n for the tenth census, has furniaheJ us some interns.- ing facts in regard to the early progress of steam navigation on the northern lakes. The facts were obtained from the .records in the office ..f the register of treasury, which are somewhat utotua- piste, as that office was burned by the British soldiers on August 114, 1814. Some surprise is expressed that the peo- ple along the northern lakes were so *low to adopt the use of steam, but it is not unlikely to have been largely due to the want of good harbor. Up to 1830 there had been built according to these reoords on the lakes 11 steamers measur- ing2,128 tons, as against 293 steamer' measuring 60,806 tons ."n the western rivers and 196 measuring 35,678 toes on the Atlantic and Gulf coast It appears that the steamer t)nteri), built at Sac- ket'. Harbor in 1818, watt the first steam- er that Iase .out on the American side, and the .Frvntenac vas launched about the same time on the Oanadiatt side. THE ONTARIO measured 231 tons and had beam engines thirty-four inch cylinders, of four feet stroke, and she ran till 1832. The nett steamers were the Sauho, of forty -nit e tons, at Sackett'a Harbor in 1818, and the Walk -in -the -Water, built at Black Rock in the same year. She measured 442 tons and had lower pressure engines and had made her tint trip to Detroit in August, 1818, and afterwards traded ss far as Mackinaw, and was fluidly wreck- ed on November lar, 1819, at Buffalo This brings us down to 1820 with only three steamers on tate northern lakes, measuring 620 tons, while at this date there were at least seventy on the west- ern riven and fertF..ie had been built on the Atlantic coast. In 1822 the Sup- erior, measuring 346 teas, was built at Buffalo. and in ,the following year the Martha Ogden of 48 leas was launched at Black Rock. The Pioneer of 124 tors tame out in 1825 at Buffalo, followed in 1826 by the Niagara, 156, the Henry Clay of 301, and the Enterprise at Cleve- land, measuring 219 tons. This it ap- pears, was the first steamer built at Cleveland. The William Peng, of 214 tons, also came out in this year at Erie. One small steamer of ninty three tons completes the list for this decade, mak- ing eight steamers, mesa ring 1,50[5. 13 t i nie. IN THE NEXT IE.'AeE there were built a total of 59 steaukere measuring 14,705 tons. Iu the first year of the decade no steamers were built on the lakes. In 1832 there were three built on the lakes. In 1832 there were three built at Erie and one at Cleveland. in 1833 one at Oswego, four at Detroit, one St Sandusky, one Pt Sactcett's Harbor. In 1834 one at Os- wego, one at Erie, five at Detroit, two at Sandusky and two at Cleveland. In 1833 one at Oswego and one at Detroit. In 1837 one at Detroit, one at Miami (Toledo), one at Sandusky and three at Cleveland. In 1838 five at Detroit, two at Miami. In 1840 three at Detroit and three at Miami. In 1835 the steamship inspection service reported the number of steamers on the northern lakes as follows: Licensed steamers 128, measuring 68,098 tons; unlicensed 115, measuring 21,252 tons. The next su- ittheistic statement for the northern lakes was by the register of the treasury in 1870, at which time there were 642 steamers, measuring 142,937.09 tons. In 1880 there were 973, measuring 224,857- 69 tons, according to the records of the census office. ter. Dr. Orsslstee eR Farming.

The young men from the country Dome to the city with their heads 61'ed with visions of fine equipages and fine clothes, and they thiuk they are going to have all these, and so they turn their backs on the farm.

They tell ma that among the Peensylvania Dutch the barns are more oornftrtable and better than the houses, and that the hones are better cared for than the women and children. That is wrong. Mike your homes attractive and your children haei.y, and you will be happier and bet- ter nien. I hope to be with you at your next meeting, and I wish you all health, prosperity and happiness. Tae Yaltafal Wives at Weissberg. Weinsberg is in the northwestern part of Wurtemburg, about thirty miles from Stuttgart. It is early mentioned as a napital city of the bishopric of Wurz- burg, and later we read that in the year 814 Emperor Louis I. established the Frieherrshaft at Weinsberg. About 1129, Ftieherr Wolfram von Weinsberg transferred the castle to the Rhenish Palgravine, Gottfried of Oiled. The litt- ler gave it as a marriage portion with his daughter Uta to Duke Welf VI., who regarded it as a part of the allodial es- tate of his wife, and refused to deliver it to Konrad III., when this eniperor claimed it as a reversionary fee. An in- tense hatred existed between the Ho- henstaufen. and Welfs. It began in the tiprte of the unfortunate emperor Henry IV., and culminated when in 1079 Hen- ry sent for Frederic of Iiuhenstauien, and, in a solemn speech, in which he ac- knowledged his loyalty, gave him his daughter Agnes in marriage, and the kingdom of Saubia as a dowry. The death of Henry in 1139 brought new co:» plications and feuds, and Konrad welcomed any event that might make the 1I Welf feel his power. He accordingly appeared with hos enpy before the castle, raving to the meantime defeated the forces of Welf at Esslingen, as they were hastening to the help of the be- seiged Weinberg. The attack upon the castle was begun. After a determin- ed struegle, Wolf fell, wounded, and the surrender seemed now to be inevitable. "Without grace or mercy" were the words of the emperor, and the town was to share the fate of the castle. The greatest tenor prevailed. Then the highborn duchesses and the wife" of the town officers held a council, and deter- mined to go in procession to the empe- ror, implore him to let thein escape, and also allow them to carry away with them their most precious possessions. The emperor, who had no wish to wage war with women, received them kindly, gave them permission to leave the besieged town, and to take with them all that they could carry upon their shoulders. The women went away, night passed,and the morning carne. At an errly hour Konrad's army was drawn up is line, the gates were opened at the command of libel lode le rase of Areedeel.

Kingston, Jamaica, Sept. 1 -West- gate, alias O'Brien, one of the alleged murderers of Cavendish and Burke, is in jail at Spanishtown. t He adheres to his confession, and several times threat- ened suicide. When asleep he is troub- led fearfully with dreams, ravesexcitedly. He hes revealed the names of his alleged accomplices to the authorities, but they are kept secret. The general belief is he had something to do with the tragedy, No one is permitted to see him in prison. Bicrcu-ro.-In the fifty -utile race for the championseip of England, run at the Crystal palace, Sydenham, August 25, the seven leading men broke the record. The winner, Hon. Ion Keith -Falconer, made the fifty miles in 2 hours 43 min. 58 1-5 seconds, beating all previous re- cords by nearly seven minutes. All the records after the first twenty-five miles were beaten. Besides the Hon. Keith - Falconer, C. D. Veser, Jephson, Crute, and others beat the record. The dismissal by the DominionGovcrn- metit of several members of the Brother- hood of Losoinitive Engineers on the In- teroolouial Railway, and the attempt per- mitted by Sir Charles Tupper to stamp out the order has, has incensed not on- ly the members of the Brotherhood in other parts of Canada, but has aroused Trades' Unionists on all Mande. ks tor jest, there be certain things which ought to be privileged from it. viz., religion, matters of state, great per- sons, any man's present business of im- portance, any case that deserveth pity. - The D.et.r's Initis/.

Had not the emperor distinctly said, " Take with you all that you can carry upon your shoulders?" W hen Duke Frederic be- held this sight, the like of whieh had never been witnessed since the world be- gan, he cried out angrily to the emper- or, "That was not in the compact !•' but the emperor, whose face showed quite plainly that he was not displeased at this exhibition of womanly faithfulness, an s rered, " A king's word is not to be broken ;" and while the emperor and his army looked on in mute sur- prise, the strange procession wended its way, patiently and silently down the steep hill side, int.) the country read, carrying away the men, and leaving the castle and town to the troops. The em- peror generously ordered that *11 the treasures of the women should at once be collected and carred out to them.

At a meeting of the Ensilage Cengreas, held in New York in January last, the Rev. Dr. Ormiston, of that city, gave his opinion of farming. Here are some of the things he said, and they are well worth reading: T was a Scotch farmer for nineteen years, but it was a very different style of farming from that in which you gentle- men are engaged. These arms have levelled many a giant in the forest of Canada. These shoulders have ached with carrying sap to make six hundred pounds cf maple sugar.
