Not returning, his friends became alarmed, and more so in a few days, when the dory was found at Mim- inigash, and the boat picked up at sea. The body was picked up on Friday last, about half a mile from the place at which he embarked. It is supposed, on reaching the dory, that he attempted to catch her and fell overboard.

Official intelligence has been received fully confirming in all its details the report of the battle on the 8th inst. along the line from Margli to Shiptsche as_telegraphed by the correspondent of the London Daily News. Ofticial reports place the number of in- surgents at considerably over six thousand with four cannons and rocket battery.

On Friday the Austrians advanced against a strongly en- trenched position of Vrunduk.

A young boy named Charles Gates, aged fourteen years, residing in Brooklyn, while bathing from a boat in East River, on Thursday afternoon, was horribly and fa- tally mutilated by an eight-foot man-eating shark. A companion in the boat, seeing him struggling with the shark, threw a rock which was intended to be used as an an- chor, at the shark, striking it on the head, stunning the monster and causing him to release his jaws from the body of young Gates. The boy then dragged his mutilated companion into the boat and rowed ashore, taking the almost lifeless body to the police. The back and sides of the boy are in an awful condition, and he cannot possibly

live.

COAL! COAL!

1 50 TONS NUT & ROUND COAL, e) cheap from Shed, by W. W. CLARKE, Agent. Head Lord’s Wharf, Charlottetown, June 24.

SYDNEY COAL.

:0:

REDUCTION IN PRICE !

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC!

rAFYHE GENERAL MINING ASSOCTA-

TION (Limited) beg to intimate to the Public that the price of SYDNEY COAL has been

Reduced to $2 per ton of 2240 Ibs.,

a price which it is hoped will place it within the reach of all consumers,

The opening of the new winning at ‘‘ THE SYDNEY MINES” and the fact that the SYDNEY COAL now being shipped is. all from the DEEP taken in connection with re- cent improvements in the process of screening, afferds purchasers a positive guarantee of the very superior quality and condition of the SYDNEY COAL now offered for sale.

It is a well-know fact that for many years past the prices of other Cape Breton coals have been regulated by the rates tixed for SYDNEY COAL; but while it is true that other coals, to get a sale at all, have been pressed on the market at various prices under the current rate of SYDNEY COAL, it is no less true that, taking into account the superior lasting qualities of SYDNEY COAL when compared with other Cape Breton coals, the advantage, both as to economy and convenience, is in favor of SYDNEY COAL, even at a much higher price.

The General Mining Association (Limited) regret that they should again have to caution the Public against the attempts being made from time to time to induce them to buy in- ferior coals purporting to be ‘* EQUAL TO SYDNEY,” **SUPERIOR TO SYDNEY,” etc., etc., while some yet more unscrupulous vendors have not hesitated to advertise their coalas SYDNEY COAL (from some designated locality). All these efforts to sell coal by such means are only so many admissions on the part of those who make them of the stanDARD character of SYDNEY COAL,

It has come to the knowledge of the Asso- ciation that in frequent instances i. i orders to truckmen and others for SYDNE COAL have been furnished with other and inferior coal. The Public are cautioned against permitting themselves to be imposed apon in this way.

Every vessel loaded at THE SYDNEY MINES is furnished with a certificate of the cargo being Sydney Coal. Parties purchasing should satisfy themselves by demanding the production of this certificate.
