News Paragraphs. 



The Toronto Leader says " that a century of 

 British dominion has done next to nothing towards 

 the absorption ol" the French Canadians. Though 

 Lower Canada swarms with colleges, there is not 

 one in which the English language is made part 

 of the course. It is absolutely and universally 

 ignored." 



The Savannah Republican says, our oldest 

 inhabitants tell us that most all the fruits of the 

 tropics were bad here at one time. Orange trees 

 were grown here in their greatest perfection, 

 though now the frosts seldom allow a tree to attain 

 its natural growth, and a ripe orange is rarely 

 obtained in the open air. These facts show the 

 great changes that our climate has undergone in 

 the short space of a life-time or less.

The people of Canada are endeavoring to raise 

 the funds for the erection of a Crystal Palace at

 Tbe building is to be erected under the auspices of

 Gen. Scott has started for the some destination for
