Tue partial civic elections take place to- | morrow. Little or no interest appears to be manifested in them, and it is as yet im- probable whether one of the seats vacated will be contested by any one. However, we have authority for stating that Mr. S. W. Crabbe will be in the field for Ward 3, and Thomas Morris, Esq., will be re- elected for Ward 1 without opposition. It is rumored that a third party will oppose Mr. Davy in Ward 3, and that Mr. Peake will not offer for Ward 1. Mr. Heartz will not seek re-election in Ward 3.

A Novet Brings.—At the shops of the Prince Edward’s Island Railway, a bridge is being constructed out ofiron rails. It is a lattice grider, 31 feet span; the top chord is formed of three rails laid parallel; the bottom chord is formec. in like manner, the lower rolls being placed in an inverted po- sition. The diagonal bracing is formed of short pieces of rails, bent at the upper and lower ends and twisted with a half-turn in the middle, so as to cause the flanges to come in conjunction with the flanges of the tup and bottom chords. The flangs are then riveted together with ~ inch rivits. At each place where the braces and counters meet the chord, a half inch iron plate is in- troduced, which binds the three rails of the chord together. The rails used are 40 pound iron of the Sandberg pattern. The bridge is designed by Mr. G. C. Cunning- ham, chief engineer of the road.— Monetary Times.

Tae Halifax Herald of the 4th says :-— The steamer ‘‘ Worcester,” which sailed on Saturday evening for Boston, put back yes terday morning disabled. When about tive miles south of Sambro, at 104 o’clock on Saturday night, the head of the cylinder blew out and the connecting rod broke. The mate immediately started for Halifax in a boat, and secured the services of the tug ‘‘Goliah,” which towed her into port about 11 o’clock yesterday morning. While waiting for the tug, the ‘‘ Worcester” drift- ed about thirty-five miles further out to sea. It is expected that the repairs will be completed by Wednesday evening. The material is on the way from Boston, and the work will be done by her own engineers. It was fortunate the aceident happened so near to port, as otherwise the consequences might have been serious had she encoun- tered any of the gales which have been so prevalent this season. No one was injured.

To-pay the celebrated assault case between the three belligerent females of Mount Stew- art was brought before Theoph. PesBrisay, Esq. The action is the result of a wordy quar- rel which Mrs. McKinnon, the defendant, and Mrs. McNeill, the plaintiff, had some months ago. By the evidence it appears that, on the 17th ult., Mrs. McNeill took a stick from the vicinity of Mr. Taylor’s mills, and Mrs. Mc.

done than the pet bounced him and com- menced to “‘chaw” on his throat. The poor man yelled, but as he was in the habit of yelling and making a great noise when he was exhibiting the bear, no attention was paid tothat. Presently the blood gushed out, Bernichi fell. Some one then rushed to his assistance, and found that he was dead. The bear had taken a large piece of flesh out of his neck and devoured it, and in afew minutes the showman was dead. The struggles of the man with the bloody monster were terrible. The bear was shot and Bernichi was buried in the town cemetery.

Davip R. GiENn, an elderly Scotchman, who belongs to P. E. Island, and is a ianoforte maker, had Mrs. Mary Tyner whose ‘iusband is a fisherman and keeps a tavern on Mill street, St. John, N. B.), ar- rested on Saturday afternoon on a charge of stealing from him a $70 gold watch and $74 in cash. The Sun says: His story was that he had sought lodgings at Tyner’s, the night before, preferring to stay there, he being an Orangeman, rather than go to the boarding house of Mr. Costigan, as the lat- ter was a Catholic. He turned into bed helplessly drunk, with his clothes on, at 11 o'clock, and, although unable to prevent any interferénce with his pockets, he says that he remembers perfectly the actions of Mrs. Tyner; that she came _ iato his room about 1 in the morning, took his watch out of his vest pocket, assured him that she did not intend to keep, and got the key from him to w:nd the watch ; that she then cut open a rale pocket in his pants in which he had the $74, and some time afterwards watch and money were both gone. When the case was called, Glenn skipped out of the court- room, and had not returned when the magistrate was ready to pr ceed with the case. Search was made, but he was not to be found. The magistrate ordered a post- ponement until Monday, which was ob- jected to by Mra. Tyner, who pleaded that all her witnesses were ready to have the

Some heavy obscene epithets followed, and Mrs. McKinnon, in a violent passion, lifted a stone and struck Mrs. McNeill on the ankle, leaving a mark and causing considerable lame- ness.

Mrs. Mc- Kinnon and her daughter also threatened Mrs. MecNeill’s life, and said that the ‘* would root her out of her premises before her husband would return from jail.” They were fined 25 cents and costs and bound to keep the peace for a specified time. _ me -

It is stated that the route for the Eastern or North Shore section of the Q. M. & O. Railway has been surveyed to go through

the Western or Colonization Road at the latter place, thus leaving Montreal out at one side.
