One afternoon Mr. Giles, chairman of the Board, walked into her room, smolling Btrongly of liquor she would not say he was drunk, a Mr. Giles had said to others. She made this explanation because she did not believe that had he been in his sober Benses he woukr.have acted as he did. She hud just culled up the reading class, ftul he walked up to the platform and said, " I want to speak to the children." She replied, "Very. well, Mr. Giles." Mr. Gilr* then said, " Children, your teacher has "been telling a lot of lies to the newspapers." She replied that if Mr. Giles wished to speak to the children he must speak respectfully. Ho replied, "Shut np, I am in command here ! I am chairman of the School 'Board.!". She treated Mr. Gile.s respectfully ; but it was ; the most she could do to keep four small boys from turning him out." A Stkan'ce Fact. On the 14th Spptembtfr last a ewe belonging to John Henderson, of Nassagaweya, was^niissed -from the flock, and it was supposed that she had been stolen-cr strayed away. On Mon day last James Henderson, in paKsing along tho stable, noticed imder the sill the nose of a pheep. On taking off a board, the, lost ewe was found in an exhausted condi tion, having been reduced to a mere skeleton. Nourishing food was given her, and she is now in a fair way of1 regaining her wonted strength. It appears that she had crushed under the stable for shelter during the hot weather, and had g it so far in that she could not re turn, and consequently remained without food'or water for a period of over six weeks. This is certain ly.-a most extraordinary ease,,but Queljjh Mcr- Among the children exhibited at the baby show; in Boston was a girl four and a half weeke old,, and weighing oner pound and' a' half.

Large gangs of men are being sent to the shanties in the Ottawa district,, indicating that the maks of timber and saw-logs 'will.ire much larger this winter than usual. This appears to be caused by the prevail ing feeling that the trade will be' much brisker next spring than, it has been for the past few years. The New England States and the Ottawa Valley were visited by at very distinct shock of earthqunke early on - Sunday morning. Re ports from the Upper Ottawa in dicate that tho shock in that sec tion was of much greater severity than elsewhere. Considerable alarm was occasioned, hut no damage of serious importance is reported. Reformatories Tor Woracnt Chief Justice Harrison called the attention of tho Grand Jury at the London Assizes to the fact that no provision is mado in tho Dominion for a reformatory for women. He rogarded this a defect which should be remedied. It may bu mentioned that at Indianapolis, Indiana, the female reformatories have been in the hands of women for the last four years,. And tho results have been bo good that-there is no dis position to change again. All the female prisoners in the.State prison were transferred .to the new insti tution, and out of ninety-five in- matea discharged during four yoars, ^it two have been sentenced for subsequent offences. They are looked after in the institution, and when- they leave it, for tho ladies are-enthusiasts and da not perform their duties in a coldly perfunctory man-ner. In this department of charity much remains to bed one with us. It is likely that the re marks, of the Chief Justice will at tract the attention of the press, aud that at last government will take some steps to repair an evident defect. : GRACE'S CELEBRATED SALVE> A Nure Belief for (be Huu*er<T.
