The Calabogie correspondent of the Ren- frew .l!n-rum gives the following particulars of the attempt at suicide by a Kingstonian : A week ago Saturday, as the train from the south was nearing the station, a young man alighted and took up lodgings at the Madawaska house, giving his name as George Baxter, of Princess street, Kingston. By appearances he seemed to be a swell and also of a rather intellectual countenance. He did not state the nature of his business here, and, in fact, did not seem at all 'i('Slr ous of conversing on any subject \-.t ` vvr On Friday night he retired, as usual, . room. About 9 o'clock in the morning I u the gong sounded for breakfast he did hut put. In an appearance, and Mr. Duncan, one of the proprietors, went to his room door and called several times. Not receiving any response he decided on going in, when to his horror and dismay. he discovered him lying prostrate on the bed in a state of uncali- seiousm-ss with an empty bottle lying at his side labelled Laudanum. There being no doetoi in town Mr. Duncan summoned all the aid possible and some very strong eme- tics were promptly administered and by Sunday noon he was able to walk around, but seemed veiy feeble. Shortly after he took his departure, walking out of town, not feeling inclined to wait even for the morning train. so ashamed was he of his conduct." The following note was found on the table : "I write these few lines to you. Rose. _When you got them 1 will be dvud. Toll Anme my ant was of her. dear girl.

Now coming home there can be no doubt in the mind of any man, who is willing to take a reasonable view of the matter, that one mining school is at present enough for Ontario, and that like Lehigh it should be placed as near the centre or ou:let,of the minim: regions as it is possible to find a city or large town to acconimodate it. Kingston is situated exactly as is required. as nearly all the iron phosphate, mica, galena, etc , mined in Ontario is brought from the coun try immediately back of Kingston to be bought and sold and shipped in that city. Already, in addition to what I am informed is done in Queen's college, the analysing and ` assaying business of the mining region is >|2ll`ll`i(~`.nf. tn aivn work tn more than nm: nri. uy Iue unlveluuy. `V ` When I was in Bethlehem eighteen years ugh the place was comparatively a small town aml the university was far from com- plete, but upon revisiting thelli last summer llnuml the town grown into I buemtifnl city. and the university developed into the leading one in its ;:nrti<'-ular line in the East- ern ax-ates.

It is readily seen that where large numbers of assays and analyses are rcqliired. und where special en- gineering skill is frequently called into rc- quisitiomtlie miningtand metallurgical works are ndiuirubly and protably supplemented by the univeisity. ` `Vin-n l was in llpfhlnhmn niijlitm-n vmiru .4.

Flower, the de- ` surrcdly popular delnnclutic banker of New York, was called to congress to succeed W. Bourke Cochran. Mr. Flower was elected to congress in IHSI, defeating Wm. Waldorf Astor.

Not so much given to talk us to hard and serviceable work. he will be one of the most. influential and useful Inerubers of congress. Life and health per- mitting, it is more than probable that he will succeed (Governor Hill as the chief ex- ecutive of this state. providing he does not tiring upin the United States senate.
