Bowman was icrmerly connected as a traveller with acme 0! our large oil refiners, and is well known throughout Ontario. It eeeme he left for Winnipeg with aatock ofboote,ehoee and leatherbe cnging to a local wholesale house. This was too strong a temptation. He confiscated the goods for his own benefit at Chicago. There he got sick and was at- tended by the young woman in question, with whom he fell desperately in love. and determined to accompany her. though his own family were living in the greatest verty on his account to Cleveland.

Dec. 9.â€"A case of extreme miserliness has come to the notice of the authorities. In the east end of the city, on Lagauchetiere street. has resided for many years in an old and dilapidated house of three storeys an elderly maiden lady in a state of comparative destitution. She led the life of a recluse, and was almost unknown by sight to her nearest neighbors. A laboring man was the only visitor. and- he went there once a day to do some trifling chores. The house was poorly furnished. and all the surroundings bore the stamp of poverty. Yesterday the choreman could not effect an entrance. and. sue ting something was wrong, he appeal for assistance. On the doorbeing forced open the ed woman was found lying in her night 0 othes on the floor in a cold room and quite unconscious. She was immediately transferred on an ambu- lance to the general hospital. where she was placed in a private room. The extra- ordinary feature of the case is the fact that this victim of a mieerly feeling is rolling in wealth. She has been discovered to be worth $75,000 in money besides vast ro- perty in real estate in the city.

The "ones who know,” after a careful inspec- tion of the falls, expressed great surprise at the wonderful change which had taken place in the Horse Shoe Fall since their ast visit. They say the Canadian Fall has changed more this year than in the previ- ous twentydlve or thirty years.

The nail entered the temple and passed through the skull into the brain. which oozed out through the aperture as soon as the metal was with- drawn. Since then there has been an in- termittent discharge of brain matter and clotted 'blood, which required constant attention by the lad's nurses. The physician who is attending the patient says that there is a reasonable hope of the boy‘s recovery.

The opinion was expressed in the Carlisle Diocesan Conference recently, in a discus- sion concerning the abuses of Church patronage, that the election of a clergyman tended to degrade him.

There are jets of flame which gush up fr_om_ its centre to a. height of 70, 000miles in half an hour, and terrific storms of flame which sweep across the surface at the rate of 100 000 miles an hour." Some,suoh world as this, the preacher believed. would be the future darkness. The Presbyterian Church in England having nominated Dr. J. C. Bruce, of New- castle-on-Tyne. as moderater for 1881, he has been objected to. He is an eminent and worthy elder oi the Church. but was never ordained. He was a licentiate. but had his name taken of! the list of proba- tioners on becoming superintendent and proprietor of an academy in Newcastle. The proposed procedure is not in harmony with the usual practice of Presbyterian Churches. and has no precedent in the his- tory of the Presbyterian Church in Eng- land. But the famous George Buchanan. who was " also an elder." and no ordained minister. filled the office of moderator of the Scottish General Assembly in 1567. and as principal of the St. Leonard‘s College. St. Andrew‘s, lectured in divinity. The book called “ Scotch Sermons ” has made a wonderful stir in the Established Church of Scotland. It is charged that they contain denials of no less than twelve of the leading doctrines set forth in the Presbyterian Confession of Faith. They question the autha'ity of some parts of the gospels. and throw loubt on the authenticity of several of the niraeles as recorded. An attempt to bring the writers to ecclesiasti. cal justice has ban made in presbytery, but has not as et en a success. the pres- bytery being ar 1 tinctured with the same alleged hete oxy. The matter will be carried to synol and to general assem- bly. There is a ptospeet of quite as lively a controversy over th a sermon book as that which has almost tent the Free Church of Scotland in the lobertson Smith discus. sion. The ultra-eithodox men are alarmed at the spread of hdesy, and those who are in sympath with he newer views tell the ultra-orth ox not be alarmed; for even if the views prom ated are not exactly in eym athy with t as of the Westminster Con ession .they is in accordance with ‘ those set forth in the scriptures.

For six or seven years the vines have been each year. scientifically. as it is called. pruned by cutting back to the traditional two or three buds. and the ground has been regu- larly ploughed and highly cultivated. The vines resisted all this kind treatment and l refused to bear well. although making each \ yeara magnificent growth of wood. andi showinga very fine healthy stock and root. ‘ An experiment was tried with the vine- yard this year ; a small portion was pruned and cultivated in the usual man- ner. the larger portion being left en. tirely unpruned and uncultivated. The result is remarkable. In the latter portion of the vineyard the ground is fairly covered with fine well ripening grapes. making a yield far beyond the ordinary crop of aver- age grape vines. while in the pruned and cultivated ortion the vines exhibit but few bunches o perfect grapes.

An up. town dry oods house has on exhibition a glass tab e-eloth several feet square 01 variegated colors. with ornamental border and fringed_edgee_. The iabriouia flexible. and only a little heavier than those woven o! flax, while it is claimed that it canbe washed and ironed like the ordinary table. cloth. Glass has been spun and woven in Austria for some years, but it is a new undertaking in this country. A prominent glass-mann acturing firm of Pittsburg. Pa., recentl engaged in the manufacture of this brittle substance into fabrics. which they claim are as perfect, delicate and dur- able as the finest silk. A representative of this firm said esterday that they can spin 250 fine thre s, each ten miles in length, in one minute. The weaving is done with an ordinary loom, but the process is more difficult and much more interesting than the spinning of cotton and other threads. “ We can duplicate in glass any costume,” said this gentleman, " and can make it just as brilliant in color, elaborate in finish, per- fect in fit and equal in its smallest details, even to the buttons on the original. The fabric is very stron . cannot be ripped or torn, and can be so d at a less price than linen, cotton or silk, or other fabric imi- tated. It is also very warm, easy-fitting ‘and comfortable. whether worn as dress, shawl, or other garment in ordinary cloth- ing." Among the articles already mann- lectured of glass are beautiful feathers, which resemble those of the ostrich. towels, napkins and table cloths. An Amusing Experienceâ€"In the Lake In aGnle. Capt. Scott, of the steamer Seotia. al- though not a very large or formidable looking personage, is one who is bound to make his way in the world. and is now, through his force of character. probably as well and favorably known as any other propeller master on the lakes. His fellow sailors relate as a sample of his prowess a recent dodge of his to procure a permit from the custom house authorities of Chi- o. It is a rule of this office. it seems, to re use to do any vessel business after a certain hour in the evening.‘ Capt. Scott was aware of this rule. but having his boat loaded and being anxious to leave before the next morning hemshed into the office of the collector in his usual energetic style and exclaimed "My goodness, Mr. Jewell, you must let my boat go out this evening. It's a matter of life and death to do so." The appeal melted the ofiicial’s heart. and the necessary papers were made out. handed over and paid for. As the captain was about leavmg the office. Collector Jewell requested to be informed of the ‘nature of the business which forced the ‘captain to leave before next day. “ Well,” replied that gentleman. “ I bet that fellow over there," pointing to a stranger in the outer oflice. “ a new but that I would beat him on the run down the lakes.- and it would kill me to lose the bet." The cap- tain left I_’ort _Dalh_ous_ie just prior to the storm of the 7th and 8th of November. and was in the midst of it. He represents it as having been a most terrible one. exceed- ing anything in his experience as a. sailor.
