It is wise to provide against emergencies that are liable to arise in every family. A cold may be a dangerous thing, or not, depending upon the means at hand to combat it. In sudden attacks of cold, cr'up, a*thma, etc., Ayre'e Cherry Pectoral will prove the quickest and most effective cure, and your best friend. The German journal Dretderter NaoktrushUm announce* the conversion to Catholicism of two ladies of noble biith, Miss Von Massow and Miis Von Zeschan, the latter a fam<)»s authoress. Their reception took place at Mariasten, in the n iphborhood of Teplitc. Miss Von Zeachan belongs to a most ancient family in Saxony. It i 3 rather remarkable that this family was one of the first to embrace Lutheranism, and that she is the first wince those sad days to rejoin the Faith of her ancestors. Hi«nMrck, Dak., Bept. 18.— Charles Laflin a prominent Canadian, John Wilson, and two other hunters, were hun ing buffaloes a few days ago on the banks of the Missouri river, 800 miles northwest of thiß city. The hunters started a herd of 200 animals and were in hot pursuit, when a storm burst upon them. The wind blew the dust and leave in the eyes of the buffaloes and they turned about and stampeded. The hunters were run down, aid all but Wilson were trampled under foot. Wilson recovered the mangled bodies and sent them to their friends. The following is a real " letter from a boy," aged eleven : " I send back this cur which I hope will bring out virtues. I send him under the pretence of your giving him away if allowable ; but if you find an owner for him who will take him under the simplicity of taking care of him, do so by all means. You will think by hit manner that he has been ill-treated, but it is owing to his sneaking deficiency face. He has been treated with the utmost tendency. The food which he relishes best is chickens on the wing. Posts, rails, buckets, and other garden utensils do no good for his epidemical hide ; when not well fed he barks doors. Although we have not touched upon his good qualities we will now begin. He has a tendency to drive cows, but not at the right time. I will name the victims which he has fought— a black dog with yellow hair and a spunky little pue. A bad beginning may mean a good ending in the dog life. I think he will come out a genuine dog in the end all he lacks is lustre." — Boiton TVamscript.
