Anits 24,187d SLAVERY IN CANADA. THE TIMES The question has been asked the Yews by a correspondent, "Whether there were actually a►nyelavee in Cana- da under the French air IE;nglish rale?" The Xeres having made inquiry learns that slavery did exiat in °aniula almost from the settlement of the 0oleny. In the "Relations of the Jesuits,"for 1082 --3, mention is made of a black boy from Madagascar being sold by Sir Jas. Rirk--who had captured the oity and held ib for Charles L until it was retro- ceded by France in 1642—to one 13 tiley for fits crows, scats. The Prink Ring in 1.689, on aoouunt of the scarcity of labor, granted permission to import slaves from the Indies,, and the early colonial archives contain nnmoroue }1rovieinns ou the subject. By artiole 17 of the capitulation of Montreal of September 7, 1760, slavery was main- tained aria recognized by the capitula- tion. In the tach o (i,'' of 1781, a a paper now ureahed into the lforiting Chronicle, the following advertisement appears : "To be sold by private sale a lively, healthy wench, between fifteen and sixteen years of t'ge; bronght up in the Province of New York ; understand.; all cnrts of hnnsework, and has had the smallpox. Any person clairens of 1'nr- caliMitig 411011 a wench may see her at tbo hoose of itlr. John Browns, in the upper town, where the cnncliaiorra of Rale may be mike known, and if she should not be sold before the 20th inst. she will nn that day be exposed to pub - 113 Pale." In 1780, in Montreal, Patrick Lani- gan sold a negro mined Nero to ore John Mebbleberger for £30, by a pri• vate cicecl Dearing. warranty. In upper Canada the famous Iudiau chieftain. Tyendenago owned forty slaves. The evideuee4 of slaveey outside of those in- stances are abundant. As to theehnl- ition of slavery, it nppears flint at the first session of the first Parlinna'nt of Quebec, in 1798, a bill was introduced tending to the abolition of slavery in the Province of Lower Cansdn, but in 1798, when the while House went into Committee of the Whole on the subject, by a division of 31 to 8. Prrliamontre- solved to lay the bill on the able. The Upper Canadian Legislature, on May 81, 1763, passed a bill to prevent the farther iutrodnction of slaves, ailed lim- iting the term of contracts for servitude thronghout•the Province. Lower Can- ada abolished slavery in 1803. There are several old families in Prince Ed. ward County Out., who had owned slaves. The late Mrs. Cornelina Plnm- erfelt's father at Hey Bay, AldoIphus Town, Ont., owned two. ALADY'S REASONS FOR NOT DANCING. 1. Dancing word lead me into crowded romps and late hours, which are injnrions to health and usefulness. 2. Dancing would lend me into very close centaot with pernicious company, and evil commnuioations corrupt good manners. 3. D tncing wonld renair3 me to ase and permit freed trns with the other sex, which I believe to be wroug. 4. My parents and friends would be :anxious about ale if I were out late, keeping company with they not whore. 5. Ministers and good people •n gen- eral disapprnve of dancing, and I think it is nit safe to s' t myself against them. if a thing be even dnnbtful, I wish to be on t hi> safe aide. 6. Danciec•h't', a bad name, and I mean to study things that are pure and beefy end .,r good report. 7. Dancing is generally accompanied with drinking, and I see drinkiug pro- duas a great deal devil. • 8. 1 "in told that diming, is a great deal of evil. 8. I ani told that dancing is a great temptation and entire to young men, and I do not wish to have anything to do with leading them astray, 9. Dancing unfits the mind for seri. nus retleeti•'n and prayer, and I mean to do nothing that wilt estrange rue from ma God Ind SAvino r. 10. There are plenty of graceful exertion -4 and cheerful aura -temente which httve none of the objections con- nected with them that lie against dau- ciag.

Professor J. A. Allen, of Cambridge, states that he saw a large number of toads taken from the mud of a well which had been closed for twenty years. The animals wore apparently lifeless, being quite motionless, bub after being drawn up and exposed to the air their legs began to twitch after a few mo• inerts, and their eyes slowly to open and close. In three or four minutes they so far recovered as to bop about, and shortly after became as bright as if they had not been asleep for the last score of years. The teat peratnre of the mud in which they were fouuct wits about forty-five ilogtees, wllioh was no doubt maintained thronehout the year; and, as this corresponds very nearly to that of ponds where they hibernate in winter, Professor Allen thinks that this proloeged torpitlity was caused by a continued uniformity of temperature and that he sees no reason why it should not have been prrotraoted indefinitely. er A. POSER FOR THE •'IIA.WK +'YE" MAN. A yoc.ng man, who evidently repre- sents some St. Louis licu'ae, asks me where I stn from. I tell him. His eye brightens. He says : "D.) you know Gust. Hirsch, there ?" No, I tell him, I do not, "Know Minx Oppenheimer ?" I don't know Marx, Oppenheimer. "I fail to remember lir. H. "Theu do you know Chris. Erlingen- haftlickileir?" I don't believe I do. "But you must know Ernest Grund- 1achisenetrei hbichdukirehsendlieballis- teulieiminghaus ?" I think possibly that I may have k+io•tu some of. him, and possibly a gleat deal of him, at different times, but I am quite positive that I never knew him all at once. The young mau from the St. Louis house looks amazed. "Nell," he says at last, "you ain't got much acgnaiutance iu Burlington." And I sadly remarked that lay ac- quaintance there is rather limited, and tie goes away. Preseetly he returns. "Oh," he says, 'tlie•m fellus I said to you about lives its Davenport." And I feel greatly relieved, for I had begun to think that 1 didn't know any body in Burlington.—R. J. I3urdette.
