In view of the fatal prevalence of diphtheria, therefore, the kissing of a child upon the month by a person with a sore threat is hazardous, if nor criminal ; and scarcely less so is the practice of allowing children to kiss their ailing playmates. It would be wise to exercise great caution in this matter if not to discontinue the practice of. kissing upon the mouth altogether.~~S'cieratt_/I'c American, The lesson to be derived from this not ox~ ccptiunnl experience is vory clear. From the report of the physicians in at- tendance upon the grand ducal family of Hesse-Darmstadt during the recent out. break of 'diptheria which resulted in the death of Princess Alice, the range of the dis- ease appears to have been sharply limited. From November 6 to the 14th six of the family were attacked ; on the 6th, Princess Victoria. aged [6; in the night from the 11th to the 12th Princess Alice, aged 6; on the 12th Princess Mary, aged 4; in the night from the l2th to the 13th, Princess Irene, aged 12; in the afternoon of the l3th, the Hereditary Grtwd Duke Ernst Ludwig, aged ‘ 10 ; and on the l4th the Grand Duke him- self. Of the entire family, the Grand Duch- ess (Princess Alice of Great Britain) daughter (Princess Elizabeth) on spared at the outbreak of the disease. The Grand Duchess, however. was attacked after- ward. Immediately after the first member of the family (Princess Victoria) had fallen ill she was seen by a physician and at once separated from all the others. The same cantiou was observed after the falling ill of the other princesses, but without prevontlug the outbreak of the disease in the rest of the family. In all cases there were large patches . of false membrane on the tonsils, and in most of them smelling of the lymphatic glands in the angle of the jaw. All the pa- tients recovered with the exception of Prin- ‘ cess Mary, in whose case the disease from its very beginning had shown a very insidi- ous character. No member of the household (in all 60 persons), no nurse. no physician was infected. It is, therefore; clear, the British .lIc-iliml Journal asserts, that “all i ‘ the cases were produced by direct infection [ 1 doubtless by kisses.” The physiéiaus ascribe i the intensity and limited extension of the ' epidemic to these conditions : I. To the in~ tensity of the infection carried from outside. because the membrane in thee case of the first patient (Princess Victoria) looked from their very first appearance discolonred and echymoscd ; 2, to the direct transference of the infections matter by kisses ; 3, to the condition of the mucous membrane of the tonsils and of the pharynx of the infected persons, all of them having suffered very frequently from acute and chronic affection of these parts. l and one ly were i < f ( l l l a c M” 0.. .â€"â€".â€"~ SPREADING DIPTHERIA BY KISSES. acres, and should produce upwards of five millions bushels of wheat. There are some remarkable large and flourishing farms in the province. At one of these. 3,500 acres in extent, 42.000 bushels of wheat and 9,000 bushels of other cereals were harvested last season, the machinery used comprising forty ploughs, sixteen seeders, forty barrows, six- teen harvesters, three steam threshers, and three portable engines. Another farm con- tains 6,000 acres, ready to be sown with wheat next spring. The largest farm in the valley contains 39,000 acres, having a front- age of four miles on Roll River. Over 4,000 acres were in crop last year, and produced 100,000 bushels of cereals, two thousand bushels of potatoes, and twelve hundred tons of hay." â€"“ Says the Scottish American :~'I The ovi- dencofiaccumulates every year that Manitoba. williultimntely become one of the first wheat- growing countries on this continent.

Then a cloud came over the matrimonial sky, and there was weeping and wailing where once all was bliss. The cloud came in this manner:â€"â€"The husband found it necessary to go somewhere in the ; country on business. The wife did not hear from him, and on enquiry, found that he had cher arrived at his destination. ‘Veeks slipped by, then weeks became months, and no tidi gm of lhe lost husband could be o'ztained, Over two years passed, and the deserted wife mourned the loss of the de- parted. and felt that there was a hiatus in her young life which could never be filled. She was wrong. Adjoining her pew in church was one occupied by a gentleman who had long regarded her with admiration. § After a long time it was noticed that often ‘ both were in the same pew, and soon it be- came evident they were more than friends. Two years and a half hai passed away ; surely number one could not be still in the land of the living. Of course no one else could ever quite fill the blank left by him ; but then the Leutlemau who went to church was a nice nun, so agreeable, and offered suoh Bcht wo dsofcoml'ort. They married andfor a month or so happiness reigned once SINGULAR CONDUCT OF A DARTMOUTH HUSBAND W vâ€"vâ€"VO mission. At two minutes to eight the black flag, as required by law, “as hoisted upon the summit of the jail, and about the same time the hang man, covered in black linen from head to foot, and looking, as he after- wards so badly proved to be, an awkward, clumsy and ignorant blunderer, made his appearance. and slipped the end of the rope through a hook in the top boa-n. leaving the loop dangling in the air.About seven minutes past eight the unhappy man made his ap- pearance,,lcd by Fathers \Vinn and Burke, with whom he had spent the last hours of his life. He walked steadily, and the three knelt on the scaffold, where one of the rev Fathers uttered a solemn prayer. Farrell said nothing to the spectators, and scarcely looked at them. He shook hands with his spiritual advisers 'and stood on the drop. The rev. gentleman again knelt to pray for the departing spirit, after holding a crucifix to Farrell’s lips. The drop should have ful- len, but very many seconds elapsed before the stupid exocntioner could get the bolt to work, and the murderer turned a painfully suplicating look on him, as if to say‘ ‘ How much more of this suspense 2' His pinioncd hands caught in the rope instinctively as he felt the drop falling, and thus he hung be. tween life and death, presenting an awful spectacle, one gentleman amongst the spec tutors fainting at the sight. the poor un- fortunate uttering a piercing cry, and by continued shaking the hanginan righted the rope and the body fell another foot, but not lifeless, for the body was convulsed with pain for several minutes after the fall, and death was not pronounced until nearly twenty-live minutes past eight. The body was left hanging the customary time, when it was cut down. THE LATEST ENOCII ARDE) This time Dartmouth is the Quebec, January 18.â€"-The execution of Farrell occnred this a. m., in the precints ot the District jail. Farrell is a man of won. derful nerve, and exhibited little feeling at the parting with his family, while the con- duct and suffering of his wife may be better imagined than described. At half past seven the jailer and hangmun proceeded to pinion the felon in his cell, and at a quarter to eight the large bells of all the Roman Cath- olic Churches in the city began to tell. At eight o’clock. the hour of execution, His Grace the Archbishop performed a solemn mass in St. Patrick’s Church, for the soul of the deceased, at which a large congregation assisted. The service was exceedingly sol- emn and impressive. At half-past seven, ‘ also the members of the press, officersof the court, medical men, and a few others who had obtained tickets of admission from the Sheriff. were passed into the jail yards in front of the scaffold. The cove, fields, and plains surrounding the jail were crowded with two or three thousand people. tumbl- ing over each other in their anxiety to wit- ness the execution. Their efl‘orts were all in vain, however, for every side of the gal- lows was boarded in but that which was turned towards the wing of the jail, and in the enclosure thus formed stood the hun~ dred or so of spectators who had gained ad- mission.

Mitchell is going to Denver, Colerado, on a strange» mission. About a month or so ago two men named Mitchell and Ketchum were burnecl _ at the stake in Custer county, Col. by a mob- of masked men. It appears that Custer county is a great stoclpraising district, and thesa men had taken up homesteads there, very much to the chagrin of the ranchers,, who want all the country to themselves to. feed their cattle on, and they took this cruel: means of punishing Mitchell and Ketchum‘ for their offence (2) This outrage was the means of arousing the people of the whole State, and the Executive offered a large sum of money for the capture of the perpetrators- of it, dead or alive. The young man Mite chell is a nephew of the victim of the same name, and he is going out to Colerado to see if he 'can do anything towards svenging his uncle‘s cruel and unnatural death. He says that he is in receipt of information to the ‘ effect that one Oline, the leader of the cattles. men, has been arrested, and lynch law is strongly advocated by the people out there. However that may be, young Mitchell says« that if he gets there in time, he will make it. lively for some of the fiends in human form. The death these men met with made the. hair of every journalist in the United States: stand on end, and many were prone to dis-. believe it until it was proved beyond a doubt. It is expected that it will furnish the sub» ject of a big debate at the present session i. .4 of Congress; at all events. it will be fully' - discussed in the Colorado Legislature. 1 A YOUNG HAN ON A MISSION OF VENGRANCI: more in that Dortmouth household.

No. this Enoch wanted to know how she could have been so unfaithful to him as to 1 marry again, and insisted on her coming to- bim at once and never looking on the aor- . rowing countenance of number two again.. She took legal advice, and then separated i. from number two. For a time the two i; sopnrate pews were again occupied. Then ‘ both were empty, and it became known that: she had decided in favor of number two,wa. living with him and had some big brother. who promised to punish number one if he ever gave them practical evidence of his ex- W istence in this world.
