Losr in tHe Ick.—We learn from the Piow ey that a span of horses belonging toa Mrs. Brown, were drowned at Clifton one day last week. They were driven into a hole, cut in tle ice by some persons who had been digging mud. It seems a thin ice that had formed over the hole deceived the teamster and he drove his horses on the dangerous spot when they suddenly dis- appeared, and after some time reappeared, and were taken out lower down the river. It is understood that the owner of the team will enter an action for damages against the parties who cut and left such a trap in the way of public traftic.

Dayrcerovs.—The lot known as the Whelan lot, on the South corner of the Hillsborough Square, is in a very dangerous condition. The contents of the cellar was taken by the Street Committee some years ago to repair the streets. This has caused the cellar walls to cave in, and the apology for a fence which surrounded the lot te drop into the cellar. The sidewalk in front of this lot is now very much damaged, making it very unsafe for persons walking by that way. The fact alone that hundreds of children to and from the Notre Dame Convent pass by daily, should induce our Civic Rulers to have this state of things remedied. They are now

warned, and will be held responsible for the

consequences of their neglect. ancdsiialameale

Tae C. P. R. Exuierrion Car.—The ex- hibition consists of 60 different kinds of wild grasses; 24 kinds of potatoes ; oats, both black and white; wheat, barley, flax, oil cake; apples and grapes from British Columbia ; copper ore and soft coal from a mine in Alberta; heads of bull, cows and hogs, from the stock-raising farm of Alberta ; pumpkins,squashes, etc. The samples of onions are unusually large and good. It should be stated that the exhibition is now seen at its worst. Starting over six months ago from Montreal, it has travelled all through Ontario and different parts of the Dominion and is now on the return trip home, the only other places to be visited being Sussex and St. Sohn. The distance travelled already has been something over 4,000 miles ; the return trip will be about 1,000 miles—St, John Telegraph.

BALFOUR’S LAST BILL

Discussed in the Commons,

Lonpon, March 27.

The debate on Balfour's bill to expedite business in the Irish Land Courts, by ap- pointing assessors to assist Judges, was re- sumed in the Commons to-night.

Lord Randolph Churchill urged the Gov- ernment to substitute for Balfour’s bill a larger measure, bringing the machinery of land litigation in Ireland under one body.

Mr. Balfour contended that the Dill would enable the land courts to deal more rapidly with pending arrears, and would give greater elasti¢ity to the work of the courts. The proposals were designed to meet the views of the Opposition, and if they did not meet their approval he would withdraw them.

Mr. Gladstone approved of the introduc- tion of the bill without pledging ultimate approval of the measure.

The bill was read a first time and the House adjourned until April.

yy ’ The Empress Speaks. Bertin, March 27. The Empress Victoria, replying to ad- dresses presented her by seventeen associa- tions, of which she is patroness, says her foremost sacred duty will be the care of her suffering husband. She is conscious of the task devolving upon her as Queen-Empress, and will ac- complish it to the best of her ability. At the same time she is reminded that she has other social] duties, the moral and intellectual education of women, the sani- tary condition of the laboring: classes, the improvement of facilities by which women may earn a livelihood. The noblest voca- tion of a Princess, she says, is untiring activity in the work of ameliorating. the sufferings of all classes. Owing to the difficulty of her task she is doubtful whether she will succeed as well as her heart desires.

Trade With the United States.

Orrawa, March 27.

The Government decline to give any ex- planation in regard to their refusal to admit free of duty those articles of natural pro- ducts now on the American free list, and special despatches from Washington indi- cate that a bill will be intro- duced into the United States Congress placing fresh tish, fruits, eggs,’and all other articles of Canadian produce now free on the dutiable list. It is stated that a duty of 4 cts. per dozen will be placed on eggs, 50 cts. per barrel on ‘apples, and a half a cent a pound on fresh fish. Departure of the Governor- General.

Orrawa, March 27.

It is understood that His Excellency and suite will leave Canada for England about the last week in May, and that Lord Stanley, of Preston, will assume the posi- tion of Governor-General at the same time.

Oxritia, Ont., March 27.

A horrible affair occurred last night at Warminster, a village 7 miles from here. Joseph Hall, the Postmaster, and his_ wife went to a church social, leaving their hired man and four children in the house. About half-past eleven fire was ,discovered in the house. The three younger children, aged 5, 3 and 1 perished in the flames. The en- tire contents of the store were consumed.

The Dominion Exhibition.

Orrawa, March 27.

Mr. Kenny, M. P., had an interview with the Government to-day. It is under- stood that the Dominion Exhibition should be held in Halifax this year.

Mr. Kenny also warmly impressed the Government with the necessity of providing a subsidy for steam communication between Halifax and the West Indies.

A Big Morse Shipment.

Hauirax, March 27.

Tne steamer Alcides, which arrived from Glasgow, brought one of the finest collec- tions of horses ever seen in this city, in- cluding seventeen Clydesdale stallions, six mares and thirty-six Shetland ponies. Four horses died on the trip. Ten of the horses are for Galbraith Bros., Illinois, and six for MacBain, London, Ont.
