The morning after the fearful deluge oc curred at the Cut-off, John Glazer was 10w ing around 111 alight boat, when his atten-' ’ tion was attracted to a. strange looking object bobbing up and down the waves some distance out. He rowed across to head the object ofi‘, and discovered that it was an old fashioned baby cradle sitting upright in the water. A few strokes of the oar drew him alongside of the floater, and, catching it by the edge, he pulled it on toward the boat. Great was his surprise When his eyes fell upon the form of an infant, apparently several weeks old, cuddled up among the blankets, from which it peep ed out with eyes dilated by astonishment and fear. The little infan J was carefully lifted from his un- ~certain led and placedy in the skiff, the cradle which had sheltered it being forgotten in the excitement, and left to pursue its ‘onely journey toward the Father of Waters. The child was comfortably dressed in swad- ling clothes. As to Who its parents were rwhere they lived, not the slightest clue )uld be found.â€"Louisville Courier-Jour- Ll.

One recent afternoon, as Ciptain ltodman was walking on the Sanger shore, be dis- eovered some kind of a. huge fish wedged in between two rocks, and nearly dead. He secured a. boat and with help succeeded in extricating it from it position and bringing it to the village. It measures 7 feet in length and 3 feet 8 inches in circumference. It has one large dorsal fin about one foot in length, and two pectoral fins of a smaller size. Its head is rather pointed, with nar- row jaws, having eighty-eight teeth in the lowerjaiv and about one hundred in the upper jaw. The eyes are small and almond shaped. On the top of the head is a breath- ing hole,crescent shapednvith horns pointing forward, and is directly over the eyes. The flukes to its tail (which is horizontal) measure 1% feet across. Its skin is perfectly smooth, resembling polished ebony on its back, shading into a light slate color on the sides, anda white and pink underneath. A fish dealer from Providence examined it, but was unable to name it. Capt Rodman calls it a right whale porpoise. It very evidently belongs to the dolphin family. Capt. Rodman states that there oil is very valuable, and oil extracted from their head is used as a fine oil for watch- makers, bringing about $40 per gallon. It is supposed that it was in pursuit of prey when it ran into a natural trap of rock.â€" From the Providence Journal. “ Oh editor. .p: “ Are onu talking to me. “ No ;Ia.1n addressino‘ th e ’possum.” “ You have slundered my father, and I mu mqu the iniquity out of you." “ You are the biggest fool I cv er saw. ” “ Are you addxessing me. 9" “ I' m talking to the ’possum.” ute.

The P1eside11t, Mr. D. B. Chisholm, occupied the chair. Notices of meeting were accepted an read, and after the minutes of the first general meeting were read and confirmed, the President called upon the Manager to read the following re- port and statement: “A considerable number of applications were declined, as, in the judgment of your Directors, they did not represent risks suf- ficiently good to be entertained. Nearly all of the risks approved are for small am- mouuts, ranging from $,1000 to $3,000 each, averaging on the whole about $1,500 each ; hence we have only been obliged to effect reinsurance in two instances. The greater portion of this assurance is written upon the Ordinary Life and Yearly Renewable plans, consequently the aggregate income from first premiums is not large, and the required reserve is small. \Ve haveno reason to doubt a continuance of the progress already made in obtaining business, or that the very satisfactory amount of _business done in the past few months may not be exceeded during the same term of the present year, with the hearty. co-operation we feel assured every shareholder will accord to the Manager and Agents of the Company. DIRECTORS' REPORT. GENTLEMEN,â€"â€"Your Directors have plea.- sure in placing before you the first report and statement of the affairs of thermpauy, for the broken year ending the 31st: day of December last, coverings. period of about six months’ business operations. Notwithstanding thck limited number of agents at our command. and the active com- petitions of older companies, through which the business of a. young company must necessarily be somewhat prejudiced, we had written at the end of December, after a, careful scrutiny of the applicmions, 254 Policies of Assurance, ammounting in the aggregate to $404,350. GENTLEMEIV,â€"I have completed the audit or the affairs of your Company for the broken year terminating slst December last. The books, vouchers, etc., have been carefully ex- amined andlfound correct. The securities have also been compared with the statements annex- ed and their accuracy verificd.â€"-Respectfully O wing to the organization and the opening up of agencies in the maritime Provinces and Manitoba, as well as the limited time we had in which to secure business before the close of the year, our expenses are pro- portionately heavy as compared with our in- come, more so than they would have been if distributed over a whole year’s business, although in any event the expenses in ob- taining new business are heavy: and in the absence of renewal premiums must appear abnormally large. However it must be borne in mind that the present necessary outlay in establishing agencies, and bring- ing our company before the public is an in- vestment that will be principally realizable in the business of coming years, and is not properly chargeable, except in part, as ex- penses of the few months business we h“.d in lastyegr. - Your Directors have applied to the Dominion Parliament for an Act to incor- porate this Company under the name and title of “ The Federal Life Assurance Com- pany,” and giving it some broader powers than it has at present; also to remove any doubt that may exist as to the powers con- ferred by an Act of the Provincial Legisla- ture, which the Company was incoporated and under which it was organized, though licensed by the Dominion Government to do business throughout Canada.

(lay on the wo- man’s car.” “Why, so ?”inquired the indi- vidual. The conductor was about to reply, but the car was diverging from Tremont street to enter .Shawmut avenue (why one is called a street and the other an avenue has not been settled as yet by the savants of the Boston Society) when the bellwas pulled violently. “ Conductor,” shouted a female, one of a trio who had risen si'nultaneously from their seats, “ don’t this car go up Tre- mont street ’3” “ N0, madame,” replied the conductor, with the suavity of a. Chester- field. “And why didn’t you tell me so?” she screamed. “ I did not know where you wished to go. You stopped the car, if my memory serves me, without asking our route.” “ Don’t talk to me, sir ; don’t talk to me.” “Impertinent fellow !” ex- claimed the second. “ Just as though he didn’t know.” chimed in the third. The trio bounced into the street. The conductor. without any evident excite- ment, pulled the bell and the ear moved on. “ I asked you a. question just now, but you needn’t answer it-I see, I se:.”â€"-Bosfon Journal. The priest was on the point of reciting the prayer in question, when suddenly a. Softa, or religious student, who had follow- ed him up the steps of the pulpit, drew a yataghan, which he had concealed in the folds of his garment, and, exclaiming in a. loud voice, “\Vhat ! you would pray for a. man who is bringing this country to ruin ‘3” split his head open. _ “Who’s there?” The answer came back”: “This is Kate O’Neal, Bally James Dufl’, Ireland.” “Meella Murhder,” exclaimed Mike, dropping the trumpet. “ I recognize her vice,” Grabbing the trumpet, he yelled out: “I’m your own father. I’m in St. Luce, Missouri, United States of America.” “Uncle Jerry is ,well,” replied the v01ce. “He went to town to day. I got yer last letter. Uncle Jerry is goin’ to take Toby Mealin’s land. Give my love to mother.” The voice was silent and McNeal hung up the trumpet, saying: “Howly Moses, what an age of invenshun this in.” The congregation looked on aghast while the assassin quietly descended from the pul- pit, seemingly indifferent about making his escape, and remarked that Abdul Hamid had no right; to be the chief of the faithful, as he had not; fulfilled any of the obligations of his positio 1.

A prominent gentlemen went to Madrid; whfle there he was taken ill. He telegraph- ed that his three children, the eldest of whom 1s a young lady of eighteen, should be sent over. They started last week, but just as the vessel steamed from the clock the young lady called out that her pocket had been picked and that all of the money intended for the journey was gone. As the family are rich it was likely a considerable amount, and as she was to meet her father in Madrid it was all in cash, there being no letter of credit; a precaution usually taken. The day after the children had sailed the father cabled that he had gone to London to consult a physician there, and that they should await his advices in Madrid. The situation of the young lady and her two charges is an awkward one, but apart from the worry there can be no unpleasant re- sults.
