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

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

Mr. 'indite's Lew of Revenge.
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. .

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.
