A titost impressive funeral sermon was preached on Sunday by Rev. J'. W. Butcher, in the B. 0. church here, of which chur' h dtereased had been for many years a faithful and respected member. Of a very quiet and retiring temperament, lie made but few ao- quaiutancea; but by those who enjoyed his confidence, his kindly given advice, his earnest and uneesnming ehristian character, and the example of his ev- ery day life, he will long be remember: ed. .A humble, but faithfuiworker in his Muster's vineyard, of him it may be justly said, •"Welt done good and faithful servant' enter thou into she,joy of thy Lord."

A member of the House of Coin - mons, who is a prominent hanker, said to the Times" correspondent to -day :-- t•):;vertllitig is precarious, anti depends on an if. If Russia proposes any one of half a dozen things, England will be forced into war. Australia is uneasy, and will not submit to the creation of a Scalvonic interest on her frontiers. There is reason to apprehend that Rus - sin has yielded to terms which England caenot submit •to. The situation is full of danger, and is i roving worse a every hour, because the Russian terms are held back•" A conservative member of rho House said we can only avoid war by. eetting ready for it. Russia bas made impos- sible terms with Turkey, and is hold- ing them back to -see what we will do. She believes we are divided on the war question, and that Gladstone will be. able to defeat the Government.
