His Beef brother, James, ef'Kingsville, who is a local preacher, said he beleived there was a cure and asked the' friends as- sembled sembled to kneel in prayer. He pray r' ed aloud and said "Lord, Thou hath said that. what we ask in faith, believ- ing, Thou would give. We take Thee. at Thy word and ask Thee to restore Frank Sweet to his health." This he n- repeated twice. At the conclusion of D the prayer, Francis Sweet, rose up, got out of bed, dressed himself and is to Tan, day a well man. He describes his sen - e cations as very peculiar.

Presence of mind Saved 1 e Tlnepl. 00 Monday last while Mr. Isaac Carling and wife were taking their usual constitutional drive their caper- fence might ha�'e been a sad one had it not been for the presence of mind exhibited by Mrs, Carling, It appears the werereturning. when y ret i r i „home, and vh about the iron bridge, on Lake Road, they perceived a team dashing along the road in a furious manner, and had just sufficient time land 1 t tc, to turn and. themselves safely down the embank- ment. Had she not resorted to those means no doubt both would have mot. their. fate, Riu)a %vay. On Monday while Messrs Ross & Tay- lor were driying off of main st into their lufilbea ar 1, their horse suddenly made a dash for liberty and succeeded in obtaining it, throwing' both out of the wagon and making his escape througli the yard and out of the back enti mnce. When once on the road he made northward, coming out on Main st. about the market, he directed his course towards the bridge where he was captured. Fortunately neither" of the occupants were seriously hurt ale, though one of :them received a few scratches,; but not dangerous. A. Popular Change.

In or- der to increase, his revenue Charles I. granted certain privileges, amounting to monopolies, and amongthese was the manufacture of paper;' the exclus- ive right of which was sold to certain parties, who grey rich and enriched the government at theexpence of those who were oblied' to use -'-paper. At that time all English paper 'bore the royal arms in water marks. , The Par- liament under Cromwell made sport of this law in every possible mariner,and, among other indignities to the' mem- ory of Charles, it was ordered. that the royal arms be removed from the paper and that the fool's cap and bells should be used as a substitute. When the Rump Parliament was prorogued. these were also removed; but 'paper of the Parliamentary ;journals,which is:usual:• ly about 17 by 14 inches, still bears the name of "foolscap." -- &15.000 i a 000 in gots for a wife.

The Ontario Legislature has passed, a bill for enforcing attendance at the Public and Scperate schools. It provides that all children between 8 and 14 yrs. of nage must attend for the full school term, unless excused for any of the fol- lowing reasons: (1) Sickness, (2) no. school within two miles, () no accom- madation in such school, (4) or 'where the child is undergoing instruction else where Children who have passed the entrance examinations, or who are ex- cusod by a Justice of the Peace by reason of their being urgently required at home, are also exempt with com- pulsory attendance, Parents or guai•cl- fans who fail to comply with these pro• visions ar•e to be subject to a penalty of 88 to $20, and persons employing child ren of school age during school hours to one of twenty. The Police Commis• sioners, whi3re there are such, or the Municipal Council where there are no commissioners are to appoint truant officers. '!'hest; officers are to have the power of the police constables, and are to be required to visit factories,etc. and see that cltildree of school age are not employed there. The need of some ri ch measure is shown by the fact that in 18815 over 86;000 children, between ancl 13; failed to attend school for 100 days.
