The two children of Jules Belanger were found, July 20th, in the woods, five miles from their home, at Saint Lin., tan. They were lying side by side, and too weak to walk. They had subsisted for four days on wild strawberries. The parents attribute their miraculous recovery and escape from starvation as much to the prayers of their priest as to his energy in leading in the search. A school in the north of England once made the following announcement : " Larnin' taught here three pence a week— and them as lams manners two pence more." Mr. Samuel Motley M.P. speaking at the Stockwell Orphanage the other day, related this anecdote, and added that he sincerely wished a score of members of the Houße of Commons could be sent to that school.
