iztnts and. giantesses. ‘ Humma‘ \deole mentions a giant and l q _ w‘m. were on View respectively at i I.ring (iatdeus and Haihnoon Court, ‘ Luann: Hill. They were both, it seems, ' handsome and wellâ€"pmportioned persons, ‘ and without the usual awkward ungainli- ness pt‘C'difzr in their 16.1141. At this time figs appeared a. young Italian giantess scven feet in height. “ who Was the ad- miration," said the haudbills, “of the Emperor of Germany of eight Kings of Europe. and of the Grand Czar (:5 Moscow himself." Her appearance seems to have been followed in 1742 by that of Cajanus, the famous Swedish giant, commonly cyled the "living Colossus,” who came tt- England and established himself at a house oppostte the Mansion House. He was the son of a. pastor of a little vil- lage in Finland, and stood eight feet four inches in his socks. In 1755 London was Vlslted by another Italian giant, named Bernardo Gigli, or Gilli. who measured eight feet in height. and seems to have created an im’nense sensation by the colos- sal proportions of his limbs. But no giant eVer created such a furore as did Charles Byrne, the Irish giant, who was eight feet ‘3 ‘ s ' height. and possessed of 1mm": strength.

When entering these ques- I tionable societies they took the first step ' towards actually forbidden societies. Your ‘ association is in harmony with the church, and I believe it is good from a religious point. You enjom on your members the observance of Easter duties and others, and a body conscientiously and fearlessly attending to their religious duties is a good example both in the home and in the parish. Financially too it is a good thing. iIt has brought comfort to many a home that without its aid Would have been desolate ; it has wiped away the widow’s tear and enabled many a Christian mother ., to rear her children in respectability and i give them a useful education. These con- ”: victions led me to join it and to promote its interests wherever I can. I am delighted with the spirit of harmony that has prevailed throughout your meetings. I trust that you may continue to prosper until the C. M B.

The absence of Miss Smith from the trial would certainly have an immort- ant bearing on the case. She is the wit-- nesszwi‘th whom it is alleged Birch-(1.1} shook hands at Eastwood station on the'memor- able 17th of February, in her evidence at the inquest she swore that she was at the station and saw :1 man there whom she knew as Lord Somerset. He' came up and shook hands with her and asked‘ her how the governor was, meaning her grandfather, whom Somerset or Birchell knew quite well. She also swore that his ‘boots were very muddy, his pants were rolled up and he wore an imitation dug- skin hat. The crown lawyer Mr. F. E. Bell, was interviewed to-uight and gave it as his impression that the story was 'ail alie. He states that Detective Murray has seen [hiss Smith within the last two Llluu uv --â€".-~â€" .7 7 days. He says i‘twirs true that 001. Ben- well is ill and that it is probable his 3 m will be out here to attencl the trial. S. G, McKay, one of the lawyers on the defence, was also interviewed. The announcement in to-night’s paper was his first intimation of the matter Fe be- lieves it was a story started for a purpose. A Hamilton Commercial Man Robbed. A ‘NOODSI MONTREAL.

Everything went to show that Mr. Buckler retired to bed perfectly sober and in good health. but that the stop pin of the gas bracket had been lost ‘in Mr. Buckler’s particular room, and iu‘ turning the gas off there was great danger ‘ of it being turned on again at the same time The following verdict was returned inhaling gas in room 77 of the Albion hotel, Montreal, on the 2nd September, also that by reason of an imperfect gas cock in the'said room there was sufii- cient escape of gas to cause the death of 'the said Buckler.” The. two gentlemen mentioned above left this evening with the body for Bowmam'ille. The Fatal Mistake Whith a Farmer Made While Hunting for Bears- OTTAWA, Sept. 4.-â€"â€"John Melville, of the 7th concession of Clarence, and John Brown, of Cumberland, on Monday night last, in company with Melville's son, started out to hunt for bears, which had been destroying their grain.
