A MAN named George Twaits died in the horrors, caused by excessive drinking, on Brussels Street, St. John, on Saturday morning.

WE greatly regret to learn that Mr. G. B. Russel Coles, eldest son of the late Hon. George Coles, died suddenly in California on the 9th inst.

THERE was a very large attendance at the market to-day. Prices are something simi- lar to those of Friday last. There isa slight decline in the price of butter.

Prorection.—As before intimated by advertisement, all amounts remaining un- paid on Saturday next will be placed in the hands of the Clerk of the City Court for collection.—Tueo. L. CHapre.tie, Diamond

Tue barn of Major Birtwhistle, at {Rus- tico was burned to the ground on Monday night. It contained the greater portion of the Major’s crops, all his farming imple- ments, wagons, etc. The fire is said to be the work of an incendiary.

A ** National Policy” and the ‘* Poli tical Situation” are the chief topics for dis- cussion about the Market place to-day. The vreat majority of our farmers are so dis- yusted with the crude and unfair policy of the present Government that they will not condescend to mention it.

FREDERICTON was visited by a heavy con- flagration on Sunday morning. The fire was first discovered in a building in the rear of Owen Sharkey’s brick block. Shar- key’s block, along with five stores and several outbuildings, were burned to the evound,

Av the Stipendiary Magistrate’s Court this forenoon, Owen Trainor drunk and in- capable, was fined $2 and costs or 8 days; James Pranght, drunk and disorderly, was fined $4 or 20 days; John Ring, for assault- ing John Doyle in the store of Ewen Mc- Dougall, was fined $5 or 20 days imprison- ment.

Ir the present fine weather continues, the excursion to St. Peter’s Island in the Southport to-morrow will be attended by an immense number of people. The steamer

will leave Ferry Wharf and return early’

in the evening. Those who wish to spend a most enjoyable time on the sea shore should not fail to attend.

I SAY THAT THE GOVERNMENT POLICY IS AN EXTRAORDINARY POLICY, AND I CONTEND THAT

SOME STEP MUST BE TAKEN TO SAVE THE COUNTRY FROM THE EFFECTS OF SUCH TREATMENT.—

Senator Howlan’s speech in the Senate, 1878.

THe meeting at Springton, last evening, was largely attended. Messrs. Pope and Brecken made telling speeches. They were cordially received and attentively heard. Messrs. Sinclair, McGill, McKenzie and Tanton also delivered short addresses. The meeting, it is reported, was pretty fairly divided.

Tu Moonlight Excursion on the Heather Pelle last evening, passed off very pleasant- lv. The weather was beautiful, and scarce- ly a ripple stirced on the water. | The steam. er proceeded up the West River, thence Kast, and thence out into the Bay. The excursioners spent a most en joyable time in dancing, etc., until the return of the steamer at midnight.

Mr. R. T. Houtman, of Summerside, has a keen eye to business. Following the ex- ample of illustrious predecessors In the art of money making, he never loses sight of the main chance. The money changers oi old took advantage of the crowds assem-

bled in the Temple, in order to sell their /

stock. The organ grinder is often found at places of public resort, where he discourses his music and gets a few stray cents In re- turn. At tea parties and picnics we fre- quently see enterprising dealers in patent medicine and cheap jewelry, who resort to ply their vocation and dispose of their wares. Inthe same way Mr. Holman uti- lizes the enthusiasm of theelectors, in order to vend his breadstuffs. With commend- able foresight, he has so arranged mat- ters that the Committee tooms of the Grit Party me loca’ed n_ his commodious warehouse, where large quan- tities of cornmeal, salt and flour are stored ready for sale. The same mottoes— “cheap flour,” ‘‘ cheap salt,” etc.—are adopted by the Reform canvassers and by this astute speculator. They indicate alike the distinguishing features of Grit policy, aiclaimed by its advocates, and the at- tractive qualities of Mr. Holman’s mer- chandize. Like the useful article of furm- ture described by Goldsmith, which served as a bed by night and a chest-of-drawers by day, and thus contrived to pay a double debt, these flaming placards are aemenny employed to bring votes to Mr. Holman’ favorite candidates, and cash to Mr. Hol- man’s till, You are doing well, Mr. Hol-

man; go on and prosper.

LONDON, Sept. 9.

The Berlin correspondent of the ‘ Post”’ states it is rumored that the Powers intend jointly to remonstrate against the Porte’s backwardness in executing the Treaty of Berlin, especially as regards Montenegro and Greece.

The ‘ Standard’s” Paris correspondent hears that Greece is actively preparing for war with Turkey which she considers inevy- itable. The report should be received with reserve.

Lonpon, Sept. 8.

A Bucharest despatch to the ‘* Times” says the Russians have commenced embark- ing troops at Varna and Bourgas. They have constructed bridges at Toulcha to aid in evacuation of Dobrudja.

LonbDON, Sept. 8.

The Vienna dispatch says an Austrian division is spreading south from Bonjaluka. It has captured several villag- es and small forts on the Jantra and Jenika rivers.

LonpDoN, Sept. 8.

A Constantinople despatch says Mehemet Ali Pasha, who was sent to pacify the Al- banians, was mobbed at Yacona, 67 miles northwest of Scutari. He fled from the place and took refuge in a shed, but he was pursued by the Albanians, and he and 30 members of his suite massacred.

A St. Petersburg special says that it is oflicially announced that th Russians occu- pied Batoum on Friday morning last.

CoNSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 8.

Albanian insurgents have assassinated the Governor of Spika and ten other offi- cers. They also fired the house containing the dead body of Mehemet Ali, with petro- leum.

It is stated here that Radamitz will come to Rome shortly, to review the relations between Germany and the Vatican.

Three cheers were then given for the candidates, and three cheers for Sir John A. McDonald, after which the meeting dis- persed.
