The acquaintance was not. very old before one of the many questions they had discussed croppe.l up, ami the controversy, to put it mildly, became extremely animated. , A rather serious accident nappeued yesterday to a child of Mr MacFarlano who lives near Huntly.

A correspondence has taken place recently in the London Times us to th* surname of tho reignins family «f I'-ng-land. A writer who so far as we can nn<J has not been contradicted, says in roply to a correspond"' ll : " ' Anglicanns has fallen into a vulgar error in statins that the familv nmnonf. the present reißinnfr dynasty ,;, Kntrland ia " Guelpli."

From this marriage, in direct line, are defended all the members of the Royal and IHcal families of Hanover and Brunswick, whoso correct family name is, .therefore, d'Este. That thin is the ease is evident froW the fact that the children of the late •Veustus Frederick, Duke of Su-sex (whoso marriapo with Lady Augusta Murray was Invalided ty the Royal Marna.e Act o 1772) assumed the surname of d J-ste, not The''Manchester Courier says : — " As Mr Gladstone has jrown fastidious in the matte! of his lti.-h allies it w.ll be n l r c eluyf l ,.MHn,t v lookin^tea n tec e . dents o> others besides Mr r.unell.
