Duirng a quarrel between the of- ficers anclIthe boys, thirteen of the lads effected their escape from the institu- tion.

The river was high, and two of the daring fellows were over- wered by the current and drowned. Two othets Managed to get away, and 'their whereabouts have not yet been as- eertained.1 LIFE INSURANCE CLAIMS. —The late in- solvency of two Life Assurance Compan- ies in New York has raised. the question whetherdtath claims have a priority i m over other laims against a bankrupt co- pany, whe there are not enough assets to meet all liabilities, as happens in the eecent failares. The case giving rise to the questi n was argued before Judge Donohue o New York, on the ground that death claims constituted debts, and should be Paid in full before any money was returned to living policy holders on their surrender valaes. i iforion CONFERRED. -The Crown Prince a Prussia the other day invested his eldest son, Prin0 William, with his own hand, with the star and blue ribbon of the Order ot the Garter, sent to the boy by his grandrOother Victoria.

That it is a source of great pleasure to hear so many favorable reports of the works done in the various Sabbath Schools within ' the bounds; still your Committee believe that Much greater _energy may be, thrown into the work, and therefore Make the following recom- mendations th be carried out as fully as possible: (14 That Sabbath Schools be kept open during the whole year, if at all possible. (2.) That the International series of lee - sons be adopted, in all our schools. (3). That teachers and superintendents use .all helps within their reach so as not to abuse them, as aids only. The practice of teaching with lesson helps in the hand is strouglyeleprecated, and we urge ear- ned and prayerful study upon all who undertake the important and responsible work of it Sabbath school teacher.

If, ,however, absence is unavoidable on the part of any teacher, he should make a provision for his cla,ss, or give timely notice to the superintendent. (7.) That where pupils are absent, the teaoher should visit such children and their parents, as soon as convenient, and. do all that can possibly be done for secu'ing hat lar the the -spread of the Gospel at home abroad, and in order to better inc this duity it is considered mimosa take up collections at every meeting. That Superintendents be requested lea the Etyma in such a as to be speciallyapplicable to subject of the day's lesson, that the practice of singing be milli to a greater extent thanat present. That the Conmaittee cannot too stro insist npon the punctual and regular tendance of superintendents and teac regularity of attendance.- Lastly. the great importance of holding reg weekly -meetings for the study of lesson cannot be over-estimated, and do respectfully urge that such be establish- ed, either on the Sabbath .day or week day, in conneetion with all our school's; 'and farther, your Committee in conek- sion respectfully recommend that the Preebytery shall make arrangements :for an annual convention as in theln- ion of your Committee great good to he church at large will be the res They also recommend that the net n- nual meeting shall be held in such pl ce as shall be selected by this cenventi n.

Mr. Ernst diedonthe 14th of January, and the claim was paid before the 25th of the saznemonth. The prompt payment of this claim speaks well for the honorable character of this home corapany, for although the claim was not really due for three months, it has been paid in full at once, and without deducting any inter- est, which is usually done in case of immediate settlement. In view of the recent failure of two large American companies, it would be well if all Canadians would patronize our home companies, they being dider the control of our own Govern- ment." A.
