Miss Gertrude P..

Miss Hattie -Jones and Mr. James Dilatn wound up the programme with a vocal duets, beautiful and well received. At the conclusion of the exercises, the Rt. Rev.

' Uanelghborly. ThiO'Nell and Edwards families live neighbors in Temperanceville, though they dora seem to be as neighborly as they should be. Mrs. O'Neil says the FAwards fatally haves spite , at her, and take every opportunity to annoy 'and Niex her. The latest phase" of this spirit, in Mrs, Edwards is manifested in a prac tice, which has been going on until it is unbearable, of throwing dirty sloppy water and refuse. on the front steps of the O'Neil mansion. Mrs. O'Neil yes terda.y called on Alderman McMaster in relation to the matter, and , that official fainted a summons for the appearance of the, offending parties at his office. ..; LatayrzwE has written,, in his own grandiloquent style, of the cedars of Le banon.

The late Mr.. Buckle, in hie "Introdue- ion to the History of Civilization in England," somewhat startled the world by announcing a theory of average which he applied to all human actions, and from which he argued that we might forecast the future. It was philosophy teaching by statistics. In such a space of tune there would be so many forgeries, ar sons, ' murders. Not only this, but the mur ders would repeat themselves in the man ner of their perpetration; just the same number would be by poison, by the pis tol, by thebludgeon, &c. If in any three months of 1829, six sons ha& killedSheir fathers, the like number of cases of par— ricide, with a certain increase ror the in crease of population, would occur in the - • same three months of 1850. We were under the operation of a law seemingly beyond our control or recognition. This extraordinary theory has Seem ingly just received a striking confirms tion in the Registrar General's report of - accidents in the streets of London. For many years past it has been observed that for the first nineteen weeks of the year just seventy-four 'persons have been killed by being run over •in the public thoroughfares. It was therefore expected, from the unfailing law of average, that 2 the same number would be killed for the first nineteen weeks in 1869. Ori the Bth day of May, after the lapse of eighteen • weeks, the number . of fatal accidents of this kind should have been seventy, but it fell four short of that number. Obvi- • misty, then the law of average must fall, ' or the accidents for the week ending- the 15th of May must be doubleda: Curiously enough for the seven days, -from - the Bth to the 15th, eight persons were, actually killed Instead of four, and thus the sev enty-four victims demanded by the Merci less arithmetic were fully made up.i i This• was certainly . odd... The educ tion from it would seem to be that when accidents' or crimes" are in arrear, the public should be notified, in order that:: by increased caution or vigilance, the ex pected disasters may bq avoided. We , take precautionary measures against un usual peril which we can confidently an ticipate; we give additional props to' building which are to undergo an unac customed strain, an dotible police force when immense crowds ofi'people .are to be brought together. Should there not also be redoubled care and watch, tulnesss against periods when the law of average teaches us will be more than or dinarily fatal. Conversion of the Queen of Madagascar.. The late Queen of Madagascar cruelly persecuted the Christian converts for and expelled" the Patty years , ,Congrega tional ntissioneritt - of iffilniiidon .Mis; ' sionary Society: But the present •Queen restored toleration as soon as she ob tained the throne, and the missionaries re. , turning after twenty years found their churches inn faithful. Andnow it is an nounced that, both the Queon and her prime minister have been received into 1 the Church, after having shoin good knowledge of the principles of the Chris tian faith. The Queen has. been attend ing the se.rvites for some > time. This is . one of the most remarkable instances of. the continued. vitality' of Chri:tianity. This country; With it ,heroic martyrs,: has become to a large extent Christian- ity, and the head of the state is now, it is hoped, a Cnristian not only in name but , in truth. . 'Tne New Eizine4t.• . Tun WOESING PEOPLE.—The Ger- - man barbers of New'York have formed a „protective union, numbering two hundred. %embers, in order to effect a reduction. in the hours of, labor from fourteen to twelve hours. The wheelnights and blacksmiths of New York, numbering' about Lseventeen . hundred, have taken steps to form a union for the protection , of their interests. The strike of the brakesinen on the Eastern Division of the Erie Railroad against the reduction' of freight condnctor's gang from . four, to three, and in favor, of an increase of wages from $1.75 to $2 a day extended over the other divisions of the road. After a short cessation of business, the' demands: of the men were acceded to. The bricic, layers ofpixic.innati are on a strike to ob-, tain an advance of wages to $5 a day. The iron moulders at Spuyten Duyvel, N. Y., , recently obtained the advance of wages of 10. to .17 per cent, which. was. conceded by their employers without a, strike.
