Qne of its finest features is a portrait of Sir John A.- Mc- Donald, which is certainly the best li eness of that eminent statesman, we ever recolle t seeing. It affords us much pleasure to know this the en- terprise of the Publisher of this Journal is meet- ing with a large and deserved support. THE CANADA 11E.A.LTH JOURNAL," is a new publication. Tts mission is properly 'set -forth in the title. It does not presume to do all the work of the " Family Physician" as some publications of more petensions, though infinitely less 'value ; but in the words of the prospectuse7 " it' will be dovoted to the exposition of the laws of Hygiene ; to the popularizing of the true principles of health—telling the people how to avoid disease— how to prolong life." We certainly believe that such a periodical will be of incalculable worth to the world. The initial number is excellent. Subscription 50 cents per year. 'John Cameron & Bro. Publishers, London. THE Stratford Beacon says that on the 12th inst. while superintending the scrubbing of the hall by three of the prisoners, the turn -key in- cautiously withdrew with two of the prisioners to an adjoining room, leaving Win. Lynn, committed by Judge Lizars on 31st October, for 'a term of six months, alone in the -hall.. Thinking a fav- ourable opportuniiy had arrived' for shortening the period of his incarceration, Lynn quietiy laid down his mop, and " the roast "being clear," bolted. He was subsequently found by Con-, stable Hay seated in a farmer's waggon driving up the Huron road, but Mr. Hay was unable to arrest him, and the fellow has not since been heard of. Lynn is said to be a desperate charac- ter, who has served a term in the penitentiary:; He would have been arraigned on the completion of his sentence for horse stealing in Huron County. FATAL ACCIDENT. —A man named Alex. Stod- dart, living on the 2nd concession of Tucker - smith, on Tuesday, of last week took his wife on a visit to her father's who lives on the London Road. - The arrangement -was that on the Thurs- day following he was to go to Varna for her, whether she was going in the meantime, How- ever, as he did not come according to his promise she was taken back to her father's.- On the fol- lowing day her brother took her home, when she found the houselocked up. Upon entering, it ap- peared as though not more than a couple of !meals had been taken since Mrs. Stoddart left and the stock around_ the barn appeared to be nearly starving. Enquiry was at once instituted amongst the neighbours. for Mr. Stoddart, but to no purpose ; the last that he had been seen was on the preceding Tuesday. ,Searchwas now in- stituted in the woods, where his body was at once found. He was lying on the back covered with a few inches of"snow. The axe was fouud about two feet from him and his hat was be- tween his knees. No external injury was no- ticeable, close alongside was a windfall which he had apparently been chopping off, and as the stump was back in its place, at this time, it was presumed, upon being severed from the tree, it sprung up precipitating him in the air. A Coroner's inquest, and a post mortem examina- tion was held on the body on the day following, by Dr. Tracy, when it was ..ascertained 1that the neck was broken. A verdict in accordance with the facts was returned. The deceased is a, res- pectable farmer and leaves a wife and two small children to mourn his untimely death. A pe- culiar coincidence is the fact, that the day of the inquest was the fourth anniversary of the mar- riage of the deceased. SEED SHOW.

February, 12th 1870. Clergymen's Wives. What is the position of a Clergyman's Wife ! Has .she any portion of his orders laid upon her? Is this acquired through the .operation of she marriage services ?—What are her parochial du- ties?—What- canons must she obey ?—These points are all indeterminate as yet. so far we know—We ask a broader question that may cover the whole ground. It is this : Has the Clergy- man's wife, as such, any duties towards her hus- band's parish ? If so, what rights • has she against the parish ? As to him.the case is clear. He has a duty, viz : to give his beat service as freely as he can to the parish, he has a right to the best support they can give him. • He owes them conscientious and faithful teaching ; they owe him loyal obedience and trust—but these duties are mutual and can be fairly adjusted. How is it with his wife and the parish ? Why should she take a class in the Sunday School, head the sewing society, do this and do that, which other ladies find it inconvenint to do ? We wish to put this matter where it belongs. No parish- has any shadow of right of any sort whatsoever towards the wife of their Clergymen, except in so far as she is one of the ladies of the parish—Unless she can claire precedence and ex- act deference she has her simple position as, a lady-Her'l'usband may have claims upon her. He may feel that -she ought to help in his work. He -nobody else has the right to sayhow. If he prefer that she make his home comfortable and his children, a good mother, he has a right to that—If he wishes her to share his studies and visiting, well and good ; be it so, but the par - ishoners have nothing to say --They might just as well insist that she should sweep out the church, light the fires or play the organ. But it is said, she ought to be an example—If that means she should be a Christian gentlewoman, we admit that she should be, for ber husband's sake. and, because she is a member of a Chri3tian household and of the church. —If it mean than the parish has any right to look to her. then we deny it, unless they admit the reciprocal duty of of copying her example. If for the church's sake she may follow the fashions—then for the peo- ples! sake, they ate bound to let her set the fash- ions. In almost every parish there are sundry ladies who are always spoken of as being admira- bly adapted for a Clergyman's wife. • Sometimes the-ersoii is meek and lamb -like. easily snubbed and with a tendency to the plaintive and dreari- ly pathetic style --Sometimes it is a sharply bustl- ing busy woman who is more ready to snub than to be snubbed. and who can rap sharply the heads of inattentive Sunday scholars—unfortun- ately the clergy marry early, and are .not _ prone to take wives to themselves in whom the above gifts and graces are as yet undeveloped. Perhaps theyare quite as happy after all. But to be plain we Insist upon the Clergyman's wife's right to her simple position as a Christian lady. She gives up much, she has an arduous post; for she must ympathise more nearly with her husband than Toes any other wife. The Doctor does not bring come his patients, theLawyer I is clients., of the lerchant his customers with him, bot the par- se cares and the parish griefs will come to the Pastor's fireside. They lie too near his heart, or her not to feel them. He never comes home from his work, he lives in it. She must give up Me or help to bear his burdens. And so too he is obliged to stand back, and hold the second lace, because the exigencies of his work know o delays or choice. Other men labour for their amilies, care for them, plan their pleasures and rovide for their future. The Clergyman's wife commonly endowed with a life-long poverty, mvlien she receives the wedding ring upon her nger, More than this, and most of all while he ears the trial and the struggle, it isl'at least ac- vely: he has the '• rapture of the strife" with he evil the reward and the glory, asi well as the nxiety and toil. She must Oscar, and bear si- ntly, the weight, the weariness the d;scourage- ent, which makes often strong men early old, ut which for the woman, are as the iron which ts into the soul. No she has no claim on the arish, as the parish has none on her : but has she o deservings ? Are not sympathy and kindness d thoughtful consideration rxore her due, .be - ruse wanting these, she is poor indeed. " JUSTICE." s 11 is fih s n f b ti a le ea n a#1 c Seaforth, Feb. 12th, 1870.
