For the past week, the signal service has been carried on at the Block House, and we, as yet, have no signal to respond in this city. What benefit is a signal at the Block House to our citizens? It cannot be seen by the naked eye, and is, therefore, as worthless as if it had never been hoisted. If the Government wishes to give signal service, let them do so wholly, and not leave out the most important part, as at present.
Drerueria.—A River John, Pictou, cor- respondent of the Kastern Chronicle writes that diptheria in its most malignant form still lingers among us. The cases have been few of late, but they have been very fatal. The family of Mr. Archibald Langille, one of our ship carpenters, have been : Four fine promising boys have died of this disease within the last three weeks—twins, 12 years old, and the other two, 9 years and 10 years old, respectively, and another--their only daughter is now lying at the point of death with the same disease. Such appalling be- reavements call for much sympathy towards these sorrowing parents.
On Saturday evening, the residents of the West End, bordering on Rochford Square, were disturbed by the loud report of fire-arms in that vicinity. Many living at the South Side rushed to their doors and. saw smoke rising over the houses at the North Side. A young man who was at the time passing Kent Street before the resi- dence of Mr. John Carroll, noticed some shots lodge in Mr. Carroll’s house. He in- formed them of the fact, and, on examin- ation, they found grape shot lodged in the clapboards. Last fall a gun was was dis- charged in the same direction, and the con- tents broke several panes of glass in Mr. Carroll’s windows. He suspects a fisherman who resides at the North Side of the square, of being the party who fired; and he, this morning, issued a warrant for his arrest.

Lord Beaconsfield’s mission to Berlin will be the most ening event in the present cen- tury of England’s foreign politics.

The Florida frauds should be the chief plank of accusation against the Republican party in all the Democratic platforms for the future. No count of any indictment for high political
