SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, ,JUL-Iir 29,1881
:
President Garfield's Con:dition.
The President of the United States is
still in a very critical condition; and the
I
chances now seem "-almost agarinst his
recovery. For a meek or so Ihe was
supposed to be doing well, but towards
the latter part of last week lie com-
menced to suffer most intense pain ,and a
serious relapse set in. On Sunday it
was discovered by the attending physi-
cians that those dangerous sytraptoms
were caused by the formation of pus
cells in the wound. This wound,
caused by the bullet, is now k own to
be a very lengthy and tortuous one, and
it has been further ascertained that in
its course the bullet has shattered and
splintered one of the ribs. It was de-
ternained to perform an operation so as
to secure the removal of the accumu-
lated pus. This operation was success_
fully performed. An incision was
made, the pus cell was reached, and
the offensive matter drawn of, when
the patient experienced immediate re-
lief. It is feared that other formations
of this kind may take place in other
parts of the wound, where incisions
from the surface can not be made. In
this event the case would be critical in
• the extreme, as blood poiso4g and
consequent death would be the almost
certain result. Jadging from recent
reports, and. the statements of the
medical men in attendance, wregret 84•
to believe that the chances are ainst

the patient is becoming terribl)aweak,
and can take very little nouris ment.

but can not lift it. His forme

R v. Dr. Boner, of Glasgow, Scot-
land, is a man of different stamp. He
has 1:)ing been known tut one of the ablest
and loquent divines of the Presbyterian
chnech of Scotland, and is also familiar
to the adherents of that church as the
frieud and biographet of McOheyne.
He too, has reached th allotted span of
three score years and en, but 'though
his form is more patri rchal, his voice
is still as eloquent and as persuasive as
in days of yore. Dr. Bonar is on his
way to Northfield,Mass., to attend Mr.
Moo 's conference, ow being held
there.

Arrangements for th Fall Exhibition
go on apace, and the expectation is
that the ensuing show will be the best
yet held. The posters 'promise a„prize
het of $25,000, and one of the attrac-
tione will be a regatta during the first
week, in which both H nlan and -Ross
will take part.
The SecOnd Military District En-
gineers, one of the eity,corps, will, con-
sequent upon recent untoward events,
in all probability be disba,nded. qwing
to the parsimony of the Government,
they :have for some time ceased to pe an
engineering corps except in name; and
have been merely infantry in eneieteers'
unifo m. Their lack of engi eering
knowledge was painfully broug t out
at a late inspection, and severely 'com-
mented upon by the intpecting:. officer.
LienteColonel Scoble, too, who has
long been in command, is leaving for
the Northwest, and as under existing
circumstances the company can scar e-
)37 hope to improve matters, the on)y
altereative seems to be that of disba -
enen.
The laying down of the block pave-
ment on Yonge street has been begun,

time in completion. If, however, the

the time and money expended will not
have been lost. G. n

News of the ;"W eek.
Dean ofeDurha.m, has gone to reside
in the deanery, which has not had a
mistress for forty years, and as she
bears the reputation of being- a good
housekeeper, it hit thought her new
home will have a thorough over-
hauling.
A SHORT WHEAT CROP.—A general
view of the wheat -growing region
around Chicago, shows that the crop
of fall wheat will fall below the yield of
last year. A heavy loss is inevitable in
the States of the Central and the West,
where the greater paet of the wheat ill
the country is raised, and cannot be
aiade good by the exceptional produc-
tiveness of other regions.
A HERO'S DEATH.—Captain Charles
P. Smith, in charge of the - Seawanaka
When that steamer was burnt in Jane,
1880, died at Roslyn, Long Island, on
Tuesday, from erysipelas supposed to
be superinduced by injuries received
at the time of the disaster. Smith re-
mained at the wheel in the midst of
the flames until the steamer was
beached, thus saving a large number of
lives.
BTJSINESS IN RATTLESNAKES.—Jacob
Henion, a farmer living in Callicoon,
Sullivan Co., N.Y., oaptures rattlesnakes
alive for shows. He has sent nine to
Schenectady and seven to New York.
He receives $8 a piece for them. John
Van Loan, of Fish's Eddy, hunts and
kills rattlesnakes for their grease, which
be sells at a high Ilprice to New York
mhe
skilled firs. He skilled over 100 so i
t.
fax this season, an says he expects to
kill as many more.
DEATH OF IN E INENT ENGINEER.—
Mr. Wm. S. Hudson, one of the most
eminent locomotive engineers and in-
ventors in the country, died on Wednes-
day of last week near Paterson, in
his seventy-second year. He was an
apprentice of Robert Stephensc#n. He
came to America to take charge of an
unsuccessful attentpt to introduce the
locomotive builciin industry in Auburn
State Prison. Afte4 that he was master
mechanic of the ITJtlCa and Buffalo
Railway.
UNFORTUNATE R ssie.—The condi-
tion of the provinees in Russia is ap-
palling. The Siberian plague is ravag-
itig the western and soethern districts,
and the peasants everywhere are in de-
spair. The Nihilists are working in
every district with great success, and
before long the peasantry will be as
ripe for insurrection, as the townspeople.
Nothing but the vast military organiza-
tion and terrorism practiced by the
police stays the inevitable revolution.
SOMETHING NEW.—The shooting of
President Garfield has brought forth-- a
ew invention in the shape of a tele-
lionic apparatus for detecting metal in
he human flesh. The one which has
een completed is about 2i inches, but
o be of probable use in the President's
ase, it would require a capacity of four
nches, and for general use it would
ave to be perfected up to a capacity of
six or seven inches. It would then su-
persede probing for bullets altogether.
It will not be applied to the President
until he gets well. A clerk in one of
the departments who has a bullet in
his body will be experimented on for the
benefit of the surgeons.
How THE ENGLISH FEEL ABOUT THE
PREBIDENT.—The London Standard says
in England every incident of Mr. Gar -
field's illness is watched with keen but
mournful interest. Had he been a
British statesman it would have been
hardly possible for the English people
o have manifested A, truer sentiment of
ympathy than that which they have
etended to his family and his country.
a no part of the United States will the
ews that Mr. Garfield is out of danger
e more joyfully received. than in Eng -
and. In no part of the Union will the
dings of his death, should that melan-
holy event occur, excite a deeper or
ore genuine feeling of sorrow than
hey would produce throughout Her
ajesty's English-speaking dorainions.
THE FUNERAL OF DEAN STANLEY.—
ong before the hour fixed for the fun-
ral of Dean Stanley, a large crowd as-
embled in Westminster Abbey. The
Prince of Wales was, present, and other
members of the royal fansily were es-
pecially represented. The coffin was
magnificently decorated with flowers.
A wreath of roses was sent by the
Queen with a note ixi her own hand-
writing bearing the words, "A mark of
sincere affection and high esteem from
Victoria ;" also wreaths from well-
known Americans in London. Matthew
Arnold, an eminent writer; William
Henry Smith, the Bishop of Exeter,
William E. Forster and the Duke • of
Westminster were .among the pall-
bearers. The Archbishop of Canter-
bury presided at the grave. Many per-
sons were deeply affected. Thefuneral
occasioned a remarkable gathering.
Among those present were Professors
Huxley and Tyndall, Rev. Newman
Hall, Cardinal Newman, Cardinal Man-
ning, Lord Shaftesbury, the Bishops of
Tennessee, Peterboro, St. Albans and
Gloucester, and many other promin-
ent clergymen; the Dukes of Argyle and
Richmond, Marquittor Salisbury; Lords
Derby, Aberdare and ISherbrooke, Glad-
stone, Northcote, Asbeton Cross, Bartle
Frere, Sir . Robert Lighton and the
Baroness Burdett Coutts.
AN AFFECTING EXECUTION.— Albert
and Charles Talbot, 'peed respectively
22 and 17, were hanged in the presence
of 10,000 people on Monday at Mary-
ville, Mo., U. S., for the murder last
September of their father, Dr. Perry
Talbot, ex -member of the assembly,
and editor of the Greenback Standard.
Up to a lace hour the previous night the
brothers were hopeful of interference by
the Governor, but as no favourable tid-
ings came up to midnight, they went to
bed alter a lengthy interview With their
rnother, sisters, and Miss Lewis, to

The reverend gentleman preached a
most able sermon and gave some good
advice, some of which should be of
profit tomany church goers outside the
pale of the Episcopal chureh. During
the discourse many were affected to
tears. He besought Mae congregation
to place no obstacles in the way of his
successor as some of them did in his.

perity of the church should be the ob-
jects of their solicitudes' He warned
them against the ritualistic tendencies
of the age, and hoped they would keep
the worship of God pure from extrane-
ous frivolities. The introduction of
the smallest of these would be the in-
sertion of the thin edge of a very dan-
gerous wedge. He also warned them
that the Gospel teachings of his suc-
cessor should be received in no captious
spirit—for criticism of sermons is a de-
partment of literature very few, if any
of the congregation are capable of em-
ploying so as tobe just and dispassion-
ate.
