—Principal Grant in his addr1eBB to
the Convocation ef Queen's University
referred to the higher education of wo-
men. Rib remarks upon the effect of
hard study upon health are worthy of
attention. Said principal Grant: But
what abont their health? is the i popu-
lar ory on the Sbject. Now Ii think
that I have heard that cry befre. I
never knew a student break down from
drinking, smoking, irregular habits,
idleness or secret sins, that hi S fond
parents did not attribute it all t4 over -
study. As with young men sci with
young womeu. Wise professors :to di-
rect their studies will not injure them ;
moderate, regular, even hard. study,
occasionally will not injure theM ; but
frivolity, dissipation, late hours, itiental
vacuity, candy, tight lacing, thi -soled
boots and other abomination will.
Besides, that terrible bugbear G eek is
not required for a degree now.
—The extensive cheese imorter,
Mr. George Morton, of Kingston is at
present in Ottawa. He has haI sev-
eral interviews with the Go ernor-
General and members of the Cabinet
pertaining to matters in connection
with his Northwest colonization seheme.
His intention is to form a company
with a paid up capital of $400,000 to
fence in 274farm of 160 acres ech, to
break in 40 acres on each farm, build a
good house and stock each far with
i
30 milk cows, all of these farm to be
served by a narrowguage railway two
feet wide, with a tation at every man's
door, the railway to be 33i miles in
length with 58 stations; also to collect
the milk twice dolly for six mouths or
longer, to raise all the calves instead of
deaconing them, eel practised in, dairy
districts in Amerca, and build an im-
mense cheese ari4 butter factqry for
manufacturing header, Stilton and
Grwyene cheese from 6,700 i cows,
which could be sold or rented at the
option of the settler. This scherne will
be of great advantage to poor men hav-
ing families, who can milk stock, thus
having the necessary outlay for labor.
It will doubtless cause a stir in the
cheese producing districts of America
and Great Britain. Connected with
this scheme 700,000 acres of raache for
feeding steers are required, and ere ex-
pected to be leasd- from the Govern-
ment.
—The Hamilton Times tells a sad
tale of the young son of a cab driver of
that city, one Thomas Applegat,which
came to the ears of the police on Satur-
day morning. It is alleged that the
lad had been kept for years in the cel-
lar almost in a state of nudity, and
chained to the wall like a wild beast.
The place was searched by the chief
and two pohcem n on Saturday, -but at
first without any apparent SUCC43$8, save
that in the ce11a a stout chain was
found suspended by one end from a
beam. Searching the rooms upstairs,
the officers opened the door of a bed
room which Mrs. Applegait was par-
ticularly desiroue should not be enter-
ed. The chief loOked under the bed,
whioh stood in a dark corner ef the
room, and whilsk searching there came
upon a human fot, and on touching it
a low moan was heard. The bedding
was immediately removed and the
boards lifted out, and beneath the bed
was found a poor, pale boy, apparently
idiotic, covered with filth and dirt, and.
without an article of clothing on save a
shirt and a pair of trousers, both so
ragged as absolutely not to cover his
nakedness. The unfortunate creature
cowered and shrunk like a whipped
dog, and seemed in mortal terror in the
presence of a human being. Ms face
was deathly pale and his mind evident-
ly very weak. While the officer § were
makug
the search, Mr. Applegate came
in, and furiously demanded that they
should leave the house. Mrs. Apple-
gattalso interfered, and both insisted
that the son should not be taken away.
A cb, however, was brought, and the
boy removed to the police station,where
helie being kindly cared for. On his
weyjthither the poor creature mani-
feted the utmost delight, pointing to
th peaple passing and the houses and
tr ef, new objects to him. A warrant
w slissued for Mr. and Mrs. Applegate,
wlici were arrested.
-A. large mad dog ran through
Spriing Hill, Piotott county, Nova
Stia, on Wednesday afternoon. He
at acked all whom he met, men, wo-
. 1
men and children, the victims being
se en children, three men and one wo-
mdtrl. He tore a large piece out of one
rn.A's leg, and flew at another's throat.
A Woman was passing with a child, and
the brute flew and bit the chiM. The
frig, which it threw in the gutter, and0
t
toned. woman kicked the animal,
and it went off. It next met a little
011
acally worried it there, its attention
bei g only distracted by the approach
of ,o hers, when it left its prey to at-
tao them. Then the infuriated brute
tore out of town, with some three hun-
dred people in pursuit. A fast horse
soW came up to him, and. the rider
fividhed his mad career with a bullet.
Thcise bitten are all prostrated, and it
is feared some of them will lose their
liVep.
;iAnother member of the Ontario
Legislative Assembly has passed away
inita e person of John Rosevear, the
wij known and somewhat eccentric
reiiresentative for East Durham. Dur-
ing ithe recess of 1880 Mr. Rosevear
had1 been ill for a considerable time,and
wli n he came back at the beginning of
lait session to resume his legislative
dutes, his health was still in a pre-
carilous condition. His disease cul-
mnated, on Friday last, in his death,
atithe age of 65. Mr. Rosevear was
firt, elected to the Assembly at the
general election of 1875, and was re-
tu.blied after a contest in 1879. He
waii Conservative in his views and as-
s6hiations, but often manifested a good
deal of independence iu speaking and
votng. He seldoria addressed the
Honse, but when he didl his quaint ac-
cent and native wit made his speeches
entrtaining. He was popular on both
sides of the Chamber and will be much
mie ed.
-.-1Real estate at Winnipeg is "boom -
in." On Main street prices range from
603 afoot in the best situations to $50
and $25 a foot near the railway cross -
in. Some citizens stand aghast, and
talk about "mad speculation"—but as
the posed and talked ei, few years ago,
wt n the properties now selling for
$6 a foot were selling for from $20 to
$64—and. there is new no more reason
tolanticipata the ruin of daring buyers
than there was then, but they- won't
make much more profit ila buying and
selling this $600 a foot land, and are
novk turning attention to the residence
stets. There property can now be
bon ht for from $10 to $20 a foot. If
th future business of the city sustains
th thigh prices on Main street there
m et be an "approximation" of values
els where. In two or three years it is
in eitable that good building sites in
fir -rate residential localities, such as
th4 illudson Bay Company's Reserve,
wi1 be worth from $25 to $75 a foot.

evival at the house of Anna Jacobs, of
he same townhip, on Friday etvening.
They proceeded to the house in ques-
tion and opened the meeting by a
prayer, mingled with profanity. It
would not have been quite so bad if
they hadi chosen to desist from their
mockery of reHgion at this stage. But
they did not choose to do Bo, and kept
the show up, varying the monotony by
irreverent language, praying, dancing
end singing in turns, litevolves were
next produced. The inmates of the
house, not knowing how soon the
solemn mockery would be tuniedthato a
