NOTICE.—Agelnts for Butte shopkeepers and assistants T were, at all events, the introductory im- pressions which I inscribed in my men- tal note book. Scotchmen may well feel proud of the city of Glasgow. It looks as if it were not built for an age but for all time. Solid-looking houses, black, it is true as the pillars in Fingal's Cave, and which were ancient landmarks when I was a boy, frowned upon me a southnide we come a from the State Line dock in the direc- tion of Charing Cross. The sone of St. Mungo are a God- fearing people, and even in the naming of their streets their fancy runs to crosses. There may not be three hun- dred and sixty crosses, more or less, which the Iona guide informs , the stranger once existed on that sacred isle, but the tramway cars stop at a number of crosses, so-called. There is the far-famed cross of Glasgow, of whose glories and historio memories loyal Peter Mackenzie -rest and bless his memory I know him, Horatio ; a man of infinite story and true patriot- ism -has told ueso much in his admir- able reminiscences. Then there is Char- ing Cross, named doubtless, after Lon- don's famous rialto. --It marks the in- tersection of St. George's Road with Sauchiehall street. I remember both thoroughfares, which are now lined with handsome shops and flats, when they were plain conntry roads, with detach- ed houses upon one side-Sauchiehalf Road particularly -and orcharde on the other. One wee wife " kept a sweetie shop in Sauchiehall, another in St. o s a these courts beneath the glitter of . the stockings on the streets.

BRISCRFIELD, ADM 30th, 1890. DEAR DOCT0R,—The post-mortem ex- amination upon the remains of the late Wm. Ireland revealed an abscess in the anterior mocleas tenure in -close relation with the pericardium. The pericardial sack contained several ounces of serum. There was a recent deposit of lymph over the surface of the heart and the inner surface of the pericardial sack. The -right chamber of the heart contained a fatty chrombus which occupied the tri- cuspect orifice and was immediately ad- herent to and entangled with the chordal base of the left lung was consolidated and oedematous. The cause of death was heart failure due to the above con- ditions. Yours truly, I certify that I was present and assisted at the above post-mortem and concur with Dr. Elliot in every particu- lar. Yours truly, GoOnsIR MACKID, M. D. roof, and fireplaces are won tic workmanship, and the tables, desks and chairs might grace a king's Privy magistrates have finer seats to sit upon than the Senators of the United States. No common desks for them ; na, na, lad ! carved oak of elaborate design, with seats upholstered in Morocco leather. The Provost occupies ,a chair d 11 d after the ancient George's Road, and many's the penny o' mine both of the auld buddies laid away in their stockings. They -the buddies -have gone, like many blessed memories into history, and have left be- hind them regrets and many false teeth. A grand hotel now stands at the entrance to Woodside Crescent and fronts St. George's Cross. Upon the opposite corner the finishing touches are now being put upon a noble pile of buildings, which is mo e e Scottish throne, and in front of him, at a circular table, sit the Baffles of this great and populous city. The Council- lors are placed in semi -circular rows, like the members of the Americen House men their wives maun be to think of John, or Jeems, or Rubbert sittin' like a. lord, speeritual and temporal, in sio a gran' place. As originally designed, the Provost was to sit beneath a pillared cenopy, but it was found that the light from the window opposite -there are windows only on one side -dazzled his e'en so that he couldn't see how the Bailies conducted themselves. The order of things was consequently reversed, and he sits with'his back to the light, and the grand canopy is desuetude. Ele- gantly appointed reception -rooms lead, to the grand banquetting-hall, a room of massive proportions, with a concave - roof. The hall would, in my humble opiuion, have been improved by the ad-, dition of pillars at either end. Although' richly ornamented it suggests the inter- ior of an old-fashioned loftmtin trunk. In an acoustic point of view it might be a little trying. There is a_distinct echo, and an eloquent Glasgow orator might run considerable risk of swallowing his - own wordi. To the credit of Glasgow, - be it said, almost the entire work of this great building, furnishing and uphol- stery included, has been executed by local firms. Grand as the Municipal Building un- doubtedly is, I question whether it is alto ether suited 'for the purposes in- let Glasgow put its hand in its pocket and provide them. The west end rolls in wealth ; the city that can afford to erect so grand a municipal building can surely afford to pay a trifle for decency. The churches are proverbially rich, yet misery starves and groans within hear- ing of their costly bells. The Glasgow Herald has recently drawn a frightful picture of poverty in Glasgow. If the churches would carry out the teachings of their Divine Master let them first at- tend to the temporal wants of the thou -- sands within their dioceses ; the mind to which self respect hes been restored will then be in condition to receive the spirit. Any American who fancies that he can wipe out Great Britain should visit Glasgow. Every evening after sundown ite streets present the appearance of a city preparing for war. At every step you meet a red coat or a volunteer car- rying his rifle, and making his way to his company drill ground. No comfort- able, well -heated armory for the Glas- gow volunteer p. he drills in all weathers out of doors. I witnessed a battalion drill of the 1st Lanarkshire Rifles, and it did my heart good. No feather -bed soldiers these fine fresh colored, strong- limbe,d, brawny Glasgow lads. They impressed me as a body of men who could not only drive the enemy " doon the Gallowgate," but demolish any foe in shining armour who dared to come within range of their deadly arms. I have smelt powder myself ha my time, having eight general engagements to the credit of my record in the American civil butchery, and I know a soldier when I see him. It still rains in Glesca, but its no' a bad kind o' a rain. "A bit shower" noo and again makes the Glesca chaps grow. It has been said that Giese& loves to season its w,atter with a wee drap of the "Auld Kirk," but I have reason to believe this statement has been exaggerated. Whisky is sold in Glasgow, I know, because I have smelt it, but its consumption, to judge from the number of blue ribbons I meet on the streets, is perceptibly falling off ; in view of which cheering fact Let Glasgow flourish," The little girl born last Sunday morning is still living. -The other day a Kingston youth in a bakery ate three dozen buns, nine hard boiled eggs, and drank a pint of cider at one sitting. - The eating was done for. a bet.

He had been in poor .lealth for some time and seemed low spirited. -Strawberry growers in the section about Kingston say that theicrop of this luxurious fruit this summer will be a short one, owing to the plants having. been partly winter killed and on account of fertilizing pollen having been washed away by the constant rains in May and early in June. -Hon.

The penalty is a very severe one if the full force of the law is applied, but in this case the magistrate took the most lenient view. -Joe Hess, the noted temperance' lecturer, has gone to Clarendon, New York State, where he will spend a cou- ple of months holidays. He will return to Canada on September lst, and enter upon a year's lecturing tour of Ontario, under the management of the Canadian Temperance League. -Georgina Blake, a child of 6 years, was on Thursday last week saved from a watery grave by Martin Gillean, who was working at Myles' wharf, Hamilton. The little girl had gone doWn for the last time. Gillean has saved from twelve to fifteen lives since workibg around the wharf. -The ladies of the Women's Christian Temperance Union in Montreal purpose to carry on a coffee house on a modest scale, at the wharf during the present season. The Harbor Commissioners have granted them & site and several persons are offering contributions in money towards getting it started. -The temperance workers of Halton county home resolved to enter on a campaign to place the county under the operation of tbe local option provisions of the license law as amended at the last session of the Ontario Legislature. This is the first move in this direction and it will be watched with interest. -The other day as Miss M. -Allen, of Haysville, was hiving a swarm of bees, the veil on her face loosened so that a number of bees got tinder and stung her severely. Fortunately R. Kerr was near and dashed a pail of water on her head. Her face was very badly swollen with the stings and she felt quite ill for some hours afterwards. -The Northwest Transportation Com- pany's new boat Monarch, which will run between Sarnia and Port Arthur, is one of the largest on the lakes.

Samuel Houston, pastor of Cooke's Church, Kingston, was drown- ed the other evening while bathing a short distance from shore. His body was recovered half an hour afterwards. His father, Rev. Mr. Houston, - was at- tending the International Sabbath School Convention at Pittsburg, Penn- sylvania, at the time. -A. servant girl in the employ .of Mrs. Thomas Dow, Whitby, was in- struoted by her mistress to burn some old papers, while doing so the girl no- ticed an envelope which looked as though it had something in it. She opened it and found it contained $235, which sum she placed in her employer's. possession. No doubt the girl was handsomely rewarded for her integrity. -A few days ago cards were issued for the marriage in Bright of a well-known young .man, of Blenheim township, and his cousin, a bright and winsome eastern lady, who has been visiting her rela- tives there for a couple of months ; but the usual proceedings were varied some- what, and the marriage proved abortive. The bans were forbidden by the intend- ed bride's father and by an uncle of the would-be groom and bride, and the festi- vities ceased. -All the steamships arriving in Mon- treal during the latter part of last week re= port increasing masses of ice just outside the Gulf of St. Lawrence. In latitude 47, 40, longitude 50,59, west, the Corean met an ice floe four miles long and some twenty feet in height.

A great mass of earth,trees and shrubs slid over into the river extending in the.nature of a dam fully one third of the way across, while the gully in. the hill and slope leading to the river is in places 50 feet deep, the sides showing the soil to be largely of a marly nature. -Private Inglis, of the 45 Battalion, in camp at Kingston, annoyed by jokers. letting down the guy ropes of his tent, ran out with a fixed bayonet and ran it through a tent where he saw figures moving. The bayonet ran through the blankets, tunic and muscles of the arm and pierced the body of private Brad- burn, of Lindsay, an inch above the heart.

He met his death bravely. Were it not for the sinoke which dis- figures all of its buildings ; Glasgow would be one of the handsomest cities in Great Britain. Edinburgh,placed upon a level plain and wanting ite castle and hills would be nowhere beside it ; but alas ! the trappings and the suits of woe are over all. When Glasgow gets to consuming its own smoke it would pay the city to employ a. bleacher. I have not the slightest doubt that some enter- prising Yankee would be glad to take the contract ; he would wheel the houses down to the green and have them washed. Maybe the smoke preeerves the houses.- I have known many a man to be remarkably well preserved by smok- ing and being smoked who might have taken to drink and died young, Speaking for myself, it has kept me hon- est in a land of smartness. I fancy that Glasgow smoke is a great help to the clergy of the Free Kirk. It must keep the folk aye in mind o' a „place where they. micht gang tae if they gie short wecht. It is a pity, indeed, that such handsome public buildings should be- come so grimy.

But about 4 years ago retired, owing to fail- ing strength and resided at Berlin,where after a lingering illness of about two months, he passed quietly and peace- fully away on Tuesday last. Having some property here at one time he and the family always looked upon the vil- lage as a sort of a home, and whilst here not only in the capacity of minister but in many ways took a lively interest in the prosperity of the place, having for many years been superintendent of our Public School under the old system. Be leaves a family of eight -all grown up. One son practising as physician in our midst, another is proprietor of the Colonist, Stratford, two are merchants in Berlin and Seaforth, and one Classic- al Master in the Harriston High School. Of the three daughters two were liv- ing with him at home and the other is the wife of Rev. George Graff, of Ren- frew County. Whilst a strong support- er, of his church and doctrine he was yet so liberal towards all classes in Me intercourse' that he was universally pop- ular and much respected among all classes and creeds. -A good useful citizen named Par- nell, departed this life at Stewart, Kent County a few days ago at the age of 69. Deceased came to Canada from Cornwall England, in 1843, with 'very little money but plenty of pluck and determi- nation, and eventually succeeded in making a comfortable home for =himself and family. He first settled near Hamilton, removing to East Tilbury in 1873. He was a Liberal in politics and a strong Prohibitionist, and for the past nine years has served on the Pnblie School Board. He leaves a widow and nine children to mourn his loss. -Mr. L. A. Melburn, who was native of Napanee, and lived for several years at Plainfield, in Hastings county, was shot at Denver, Colorado, on the 18th nit., by a man named George Mc- Cartney, and died on the following day. The murderer was captured.The cause of ,the tragedy, was that Melburn had McCartney indicted before the grand jury for forgery. The assassin laid in wait for his victim in an alleyway and' fired four shots into him as he passed. Mr. Melburn, who had lived for some years in Denver, was the proprietor of a large carriage factory and was highly respected. Joseph Jardine, ex -reeve of Salt - fleet, and well known as a great fruit grower and stock raiser, was stabbed on his farm at Stoney Creek, Thursday, by John Mullen, a drunken fellow,who hall been employed by Mr. Jardine. Mul- len went to work in a drunken condi- tion and was ordered away by Mr. Jar- dine. He returned in the evening, .and while talking with Mr.. Jardine about the payment of his wages, stabbed the ex -warden in the abdomen with a heavy pocket- knife. Mullen escaped. Jardine is under the care of three doc- tors, but from latest accounts there are grave fears that he will not recover. - -On Thursday of last week six stoner in the foundation of the new Baptist church, now in course of erection at Ingersoll, were laid.

The present- ation was made by Mr. J. Pearce, and the response by . Mr. Andersen was in keeping with his appreciation of the gift. Mr. Anderson was some years* a- a resident of Ayr, and his old friend* school mates will be pleased to, hear of real merit being appreciated in his case. -A correspondent of the Ayr Re- corder, writing from New Dundee, county of Waterloo, says : On Satur- day, 21st ult., the Dunkards had *large gathering at the home of Mr. S. To - man, two miles from.this village. The ceremony of baptism, peculiar to this sect was conferred on two young wo- men in the mill race in this village, by Rev.Mr.Engel, of Kansas. It may inter- est some of your readers to know how they baptize. The candidate kneels in the water, which reaches almost to the shoulders. Then as the minister says, "1 baptize you in the name of the Father " he immerses each one under forward. After an interval of a few.sec- onds he says `:` in the name of the Son "• and again he immerses. After an- other interval, "` in the name of the Holy Ghost," and again immerses the candidate ; thus dipping them three. times forward, instead of once backward as some others do. _ After the ceremony they returned to Mr. Toman's and had what is commonly called " soup meet- ing," soup being served to all. Wheth- er or not' the serving of the soup has any religious significance, or is simply served as a covenient form of refresh- ment to the large companies assembled on such occasions, I cannot say.

There have been several cases of sunstroke, but no loss of human life. Several horses have dropped dead from heat. I paid a visit the other day to the new Municipal Building, and it made my heart sear to think that so noble a pile, which at present looks comparatively clean, must in a year or two, or three at the most, become as black as the lam. The building forms a magnificent addi- tion and ornament to Geoege's Square, which with the handsome a%tues might bear comparison with Trafalgar Square in London. The interior of the new building is a perfect dream of beauty. My pen cmild never do it justice, and a description in detail would take over a page of your vabiable 'space. I must content myself by remarking that it suggests an Oriental temple of bewilder- ing megnificence rather than the official home of a wheen sonsy, pawky, practi- cal, and to their honor and glory be it said, honest Glasgow magistrates.

It seems the horse was pasturing in field around which was a barbed wire fence. He somehow became entangled, and the more he tried to extricate himself the more he became entangled. When found he was covered with countless wounds. Dr. Collin, of Shakespeare was immediately summoned to dress the injured parts, but all to no avail as an artery had been severed. This is still another warning to guard against barbed wire fences for horses. -The General Conference of the British Methodist Episcopal church was in session last week in Toronto.
