to make a great*pcilitical demonstration
where a friendly visit was alone iatended,
and it is said that his objection to Warsaw
is based also.ou the unnecessary risk which
the Czar would ou on account of the
Emperor of Austria. The Czar, however,'
who is perfectly fearless, has striven hard
to persuade 'his imperial Sonsin to: stay
two or three days with him in •the beauti,

A despatch from Ottawa last (Tuesday)

• Jury to -day Justice Wilson spoke strongle
on the evil results of cliariwiris. Referring
to the Wetherell murder, he said that in

between the victim's marriage 'and his
grave. -Cliarivarii seemed to be generally
considered to be a piece" of -licensed sport,
but this was not the first time that that
which had begun in, sport had ended in
death. . The practice yeas at beat a sense-
less; • idle; s and •violate, one. It was
frequently carried . on by , the use of
firearms and other dangerous weapons.

put down. It was unbearable that people
cannot Marry whoni they please,. -but must
consider the wishesaf all , the wicked and
idle'.among their neighbors, and that
precious liveti . should be lost by such
a foolish . custom. ' He elpressed sur-
prise that notwithstanding that the noise
made by the ceowd, had continued for so
long a time in a populous part of the city,.
there was no interference on the part of the
.eoustables or other constituted authorities,
and that apse of the neighbors made 'any
effort to give tile' alarm, but allowed the
crowd to hold undisputed' sway. Surely
Somebody was very much to blame for this.
He knew of no way to put a atop to Such
practices but a rigid' enforcement of the

An. Anglican Clergyman is Abdacterl on the
Eye of HIS Marriage.
HE 18 HELD IN LONDON AS A LUNATIO,
About the 5th of f3eptember the Rev.
Robert Bruce -Kennard,' rector of Meanlaill,
porsetehire, Bag., aged 57, arrived in Lon-
don, to be married to Miss III. M. Bade, the
daughter of a merchant residing at Wood-
ford, whose age is 37. The consent of the
parents had been granted apd all was fixed
for the Wedding, which was to take place in
the pariah obureh,Woodfore, At the hour
appointed all were in the 'church but the
bridegroom, though he had, ordered a
carriage to take him from the hotel
where he lodged to the church. On
inquiring it was found; that he had
been taken away by three men on the pre%
views night, apparently the doctor of a
lunatic asylum mai two keepers. Mr.
Kennard subsequently escaped. His story
is that a person was ushered into his
private sitting room in the inn at about
8 p. m., representing himself as bringing a
message from a relative in the neighbor-
hood asking him to go thereat oboe. Mr.
Bruce-lieunard immediately went off in a
-carriage which waited at the door, and
gave directions to be driven to his relative's
house, The messenger and another man
having entered the carriage, the reverend
gentleman's suspiciens were aroused. . He
saw he was being driven in a contrary direc-
tion to what he had ordered, and towards
London. All . -hie attempts at getting
-.but of the carriage were in, vain ; he was
forcibly held down. He shouted, but was.
grabbed by the throat and choked into
falencie. 'Re Asked as robbery their aim.
They answered that they were no robbers,
but gii-ve no explanation. Whenever he
shouted, he was temporarily. gagged and
seized by he throat. In order to leave
some traces of his route he threw his hat
out of the window and endeavored to do the
same with his coat, but was prevented. He
was driven, on through the forest, aprons

his shouts to the Police attracted no attena.

Knowing that .5 policeman; whom they had
passed a -few momenta before, could not
be far off, he elung to tag railings and
eried the louder,' but to no purpose: He
was dragged in and placed in a front room,.
whence the fire irons were removed, and he
was told a gentleman wquld explain every-
thing. As be had had no dipper he was
given some refreshment, and 'was then
advised to go to bed in a double -bedded
room. He lay down in his clothes, but did
nOt.sleep; and heard mysterious cansulta.
tions in other pats of alehouse. At early
morning the " Messenger". who summoned
him from the . inn appeared and throw
himself op the bed also, with his elothes on.

The ',Weather and Probable Pronto tor
Next Year. ,
(From advanced sheets Of Vennor!e Almanac fer
1882, by permission.)
In Newfoundland the'winter of 1882 is
likely tobe extremely severe and stormy. •
AWarm wave is likely to occur sever, a
large portion of North America, during the
month of November,1881, and again during
January and February, 1882.. ' • •
s A frigid wave may be exploded towards
the close ef November and entry of Decera-
ber, 1881.•
The winds and -storms of 'Marsh will Pro-
bably arrive ahead' of time, and render the
closing days of February exceedingly dia.
agreeable.
Minnesota is likely to eaperiencie more
wintry weather than asany' neighboring
sections.- . •
The latter part of •April and entry' of
May, 1882, will remind one of winter'again,
'and the spring is likely to be cold and back-
ward generally. .
The winter, of 1882 is not likely to be
characterized .by: heavy snowfalls on this
side 61 the Atlantic.
In Western Canada and, 'Sections south
of the lakes, navigation may remain ()pea
all the year, or close but for a very brief
period.
December, 1881', Will be a month of
storms in the lake region.
The summer of 1882 will be generally
unfavorable to agriculture, owing to cold
and Wet weather. .
. Welters. sectione ' Will probably suffer
more from rains and floods than from
thunder storms or cyclones during the sum-
mer of 1882. •
Volcanic disturbances, are likely to be
exceedingly active on the American con-
tinent and will probably occur in entirely
"new seetiobs.
There will be brief periods of severe field
during the winter of 1882 and longer ones
of warmth. ,
The Journeeof Science seys that in,order
to account for the mysterious disappear-

writer suggests the existence of a disease
not yet recognized, which, without any
previous warning, suddenly 'resolves the
patient into vapor. He even professes to
have witnessed the dieeppearassee of a

simple consideration overtures this hypo-
thesis. We canaioartally assume that the

small ow -boat about fourteep feet long,
belonging to Thomas, from Clindenning's"
boat•house yesterday afternoon about 3.30
o'clock and started to sail out to theEastern
Gap, The sail was tt, large one for so small
a boat, especially as the wind was blowing
a gale from the west.All went wen until
just as they approached the gap ;heavy
sea thatwas running proved, morelthan the
craft could withstand, and it soon capsized.
Bennett and Thomas, who were fihoeless
and wore flannel shirts kept for cruising
purposes, found it less difficult to keep
themselves afloat than Wright, who 'wore
boots, and who sunk almost.irdmediately,
' and was not seen to rise again. Bennett
clung to the boat and was taken off almost
exhausted, and subsequently stated that
he was so thoroughly benunsbed with the
cold that he was about to let go his hold of
the boat when he was rescued. lie had
been in the water about half an hour,
Thomas swam to the Island against the

Tr "the longest way round is the
"shortest way home" is a paradox just
'proved to bp truth with the help of the
electrio cable. The Island of Penang lies
off the west coast -of Malacca, from which
ibis separated by the straits of that name,
merohafit at ,Penang recently found. it
necessary to send a message to Singapore
Islet When the cable which (tosses the
straits ha d been broken by a storm. The
message was, however, hound to go, So it
was sent westward instead of, eastward,
from Penang to Madras,. Bembay, Men,
Alexandria, Malta, Marseilles, Paris,
Calais, Fame, Riga, Viadiaostock; Hong
Kong and' Saigon, and so haying made the
circuit of Southern Asia, Europe; North-
ern Asia and' China, came to Singapore.
It was delivered, read, and an answer sent
back by the - same roundabout route
reached the sender in Penang in thirty-six
hours, the message costing anis lashillinge
a word. A message sent by way of Europe
from Hamilton to South America would
oast nearly as many dollars a word.
