A ------ 'How a MannizpMax May sx Known.-- One of the standard maggazines thus gives the mode of distinguishing married me? ""groen single ones :--¢ Whenever you find a man whom you know little about] oddly dressed, talking ridiculously, or exhibiting any eccentricity of manner, you may be tolerabl ysure that he is not a married man. For the little corners pre rounded off, the little shoots are pruned away in married men. Wives generally have more sense than their husbands, especially when the husbands are clever men. The wife's ad- vices are like the ballast that keeps the ship steady. They are like the wholesome, though painfol shears snipping off little growths of self-concelt and folly. ---- A ------. A celebrated French preacher,in a sermon upon the duty of wives, said : ¢ I see in this congregation woman has been guilty of the sin of disobedience to her husband, and mn order to pont her out, [ will fling my bre- viary at her head. He lifted the book and every females head instantly ducked. \ Boys Drownep AT York MivLrs.--On Monday, the lst inst., two boys aged re- Speatively 9and 8 years, sons of Mr, Gideon urry and Mr. Charles Eden of York Mills, were found drowned in a deep hole in the mill race a little above the Covertdale mills. The poor little fellows had gone in to bathe, as thier clothes were lying on the bank op- posite where the bodies were found. The alarm was given by another little boy, who h fishing with them a lutle before in the lower creek. He statesthat, wishing to + ho| he called for the other boys to °, 6n receiving no answer, he ran up f the mill-race und saw the body Ed oe on the top of the water, and the body of Murry lying at the bottom. Dr. McMaster happened to be driving near, and was on the bank when the bodies were t out and he pronounced life /juite extinct. n inquest. was held next day by Coroner Philbrick, ard a verdict retorned in accord- ance with the above facts. The bodies were burried in one grave. Great sym- Jus has been manifested in the neighbor- with the sorrowing parents. » Ri Vion or THe WorLp.--We find in #mAmencin-exchangy, atable showingthe length of railroads constructed in the opera- tion at the end of 1866 in each country into which they have beeu introduced.
