It was built with an eye to future uses, yet in such a way that the workmen would suspect nothing. After they had done, he and an arcom- plice, who was an expert mason. easily 1 have just received made the necessary changes. The fin- ished house was an ideal place for doing murder with secrecy and despatch. It had secret. chambers and smothering rooms, a retort for burning bodies, a quicklime pit, benches and blocks for chopping corpses up and no sound could possibly reach the street. Here men and women and children were murdered and annihilated for the money they had with them, for the insurance on their lives, because they knew too much, be- cause Holmes was weary of them, or for no other reason than that he was fond of murder.

Busuwnacxmc. -- Now that the bushwbacking is over and men come together from different camps, some great tales will be told of the wonderful work done in the Canadian forests. Can any one beat this 7â€"Ycur worthy correspondent has handled the axe as well as the pen. He felled during his teens one of the largest pines known. It took two men all day to saw it up, with a saw 7% feet long. The tree was 6 feet at the butt, and there were 6.55% feet in the tree. It made nine 12-foot logs, and one block. 6- feet long, had to be cut out where the tree broke. The entire length of the tree was one hun- dred and fifty feet. I also assisted in felling a cedar tree which measured 11 feet 1 inch on the stump. There were 15 logs 12 feet in length. These were large evergreens, and if my readers dis- believe the story I can place their hands on the stump, or give other proof in support of my statement. SCHOOL REPORT.â€"Avcrnge for the month of Marchâ€"l7 ..... An increase of three pupils to-day ..... .The literary entertainment postponed till a more convenient season ...... 'I‘rustces' meeting on Thursday evening; Mr. Fell elected» secretary by acelamation ; the teacher's apology for not notifying the public of the quarterlv examination is :‘ “ there is a half-yearly exam.” It is very much like the boy's excuse for not writing a history, as, he says, “ it is a-making all the time and never done,” and there- fore he could not finish. It will be noticed, however, that the teacher, while endeavoring to frame an excuse, in reply to a certain question, introduces another, by way of a timely invitation to the half-yearly examination, which takes place in June, and which leaves no excuse for those interested. RUMORS AFLOATâ€"It is Said “ the teacher has a regulator,” which is rather misleading. They mean to say “he has a regulating strap.” This would convey a clearer meaning when unap- plied, but a better and more striking meaning when applied. The teacher says he doesn’t have to apply it, as yet, although he believes in the judicious use of the strap, without which the fruits and deeds of some pupils would be as acrid and bitter as “apples of Sodom.” A regulator has the two-fold meaning of a watch or a compass. A Watch may serve for a compass, but a compass cannot take the place of a watch, and neither can be used instead of‘a strap. How a watch may serve as a compass : Point the hour hand to the sun, and the south“ is exactly half way between that hour and the figure twelve on the dial of the watch. For- instance, suppose that it is four o’clock ;. point. the hand indicating four to the sun, and two on the watch is exactly south. Or suppose it is eight o'clock; point the hand indicating eight to the sun. and the figures ton on the watch will be south. This may prove service- able somo time when the sun can be seen, and when you don’t know your bearing in a fog on_ the water, or you are turned around in the woods.
