PERISHED IN A GALE. Wreck of an an Unknown Schr. and Loss of Life.

Picrov, N. 8., Oet. 21.

Early this forenoon a messenger came into town from Cariboo Island with the in- telligence that the body of a man had been found washed ashore near the lighthouse there, and that a schooner, supposed io be of about 60 tons, was to be seen about half a mile from the shore bottom upwards. The | schooner had been first seer: early on Mon- day morning, but so violent a storm pre- vailed all day that no one attempted to board the wreck. Mr. Matheson,coroner, ar- rived at Cariboo Island this afternoon, by which time.the bodies of two more men had been found washed ashore and the schooner had drifted so near the beach that men were able toreach her on foot. Nothing was found on any of the bodies by which they could be identified. One body is described as that of a man apparently about 60 years of age, rather stout; a second appeared to have been aman about 30, with whiskers and moustache of a sandy color; the other body appeared to be that of a delicate boy.

A large quantity of bark, and about 100 pieces of pine boards had drifted ashore. The schooner lies so deeply imbedded in the sand that no name can be seen. Mr. Matheson made arrangements to have the bodies buried in the Cariboo Island Cem- etery, to-morrow. It is supposed the schooner was struck by a squall on Sunday evening.

A great council of the most eminent gen- erals in the Russian army has been held at Livadia, under the presidency of the Czar. The object has not been disclosed, and the contineutal papers are exercising their ingen- uity in trying to discover what it really was, One suggestion is that its main object was to find out a new mode of mobilization which should be more efficient and quitker than the present one has been found to be in practice. According to another version, it was the pol- iticai more than the military situation which eccupied the attention of the Council, and, above all, the policy to be followed in the

Pans part in Eastern affairs, lends pro- bility te this supposition,

+ NO. 114. Sir Francis Hincks.

Sympathy is expressed in the Upper Province journals on the misfortune of Sir Francis Hincks, who has been found guilty, as President of the Consolidated Bank, of preparing, or allowing to be prepared, false returns to the Government of the condition of the Bank. The’ Montreal Gazette says that ‘‘the jurors did not remain sufficiently long in deliberation.” The Herald says ; “There can be no donbt that the public, and especia!!y stockholders in Banks, have had grave reasons for complaint of the manner in which their affairs have been managed. ‘The prevalent system of making Bank returns as stated in evidence raises a most disagreeable doubt as to the value of information which Bank Man- agers vonchsafe to the public. Gen- eral sympathy is expressed for Sir Fran- cis on account of his fall at his time of life.” The Quebec Chronicle says :—*‘In this trying ordeal, notwithstanding the gravity of the charge, we are sure Sir Francis will receive the sympathy of many in the community in which he has been for so many years a prominent figure. He has left the impress of his mind on the affairs of Canada for nearly-thirty years. and it isa thousand pities that in his old age, after having contributed so much to the history of the country and after having been hon- ored in an especial manner by his sovereign that his declining days should be embittered by a criminal prosecution in his adopted city. We are sure none of the stockholders vf the bank are revengeful. They will probably be among the first to offer sym- pathy to Sir Francis and his family in these dark days of their trouble.

Courtney’s [ll Luck.

Probably no other oarsman ever had any- thing like Courtney’s experience in profes- sional rowing. His first race as a profes- sional was to have been rowed with Riley, on Greenwood Lake, in July, 1877 ; but it was not rowed because Courtney was ill and claimed to have been poisoned before the race ina drink ‘of cold tea. The next year he undertook to row a race with Dempsey on Seneca Lake. and upset at the turning stake—he claimed that his oar had caught in a wire set there to turn him over; the referee could not find the wire, and ordered the race to. be rowed over; but the men concluded not to do it. Two weeks later he beat Dempsey easily, just as he had beaten Riley three times succes- sively after the previous botch. Abouta year ago he was beaten by Hanlan, and had the chagrin of hearing his admirers ac- cuse him of selling the race. Thursday's disaster of the sawed boats was the most novel yet connected with the hapless car- penter’s career. And yet, despite the num- ber of times that great crowds of spectator’s have been disapnointed, and have vented their anger, no doubt Courtney, next year, would draw another great crowd, even if only to see if the race wonld really come off.—N. Y. Sun.

Mussel Mud as Manure.

A Kent county, N. B., correspondent of the Telegraph gives the following testi- monial of the value of mussel mud as manure : Another matter to which many of the farmers of this country might turn their attention with profit, is the digging of what is called ‘“‘mussel-mud,” and manuring their farms with it. Some few who have been

using it speak highly of its benefits. One farmer told your correspond- ent that he manured a field with

‘“‘mussel-mud”’ eight years ago, and he could see the effects of that single coating on the crops to this day. It is well known that in P.E. Island, where there is, generally speaking, better farming than anywhere else in the Maritime Provinces, it is largely used. There is not*much difference be- tween the soil of Kent and that of IP. E. Island, except in color; they are both formed of the underlying sandstone— one grey, the other red—so that there is no rea- son why the farmers in Kent should not utilise this fertilizer to the extent they do in P. FE. Island.” The superb mansion known in the West End of London ironically as ‘*Grant’s Folly,” is to be put up for public auction. It was built by Mr. Albert Grant in his most flourishing day for $70,000, and comprises an immense house, the reception hall of which is the most magnificent in-London. Skating rinks, vineries, orangeries, and greenhouses are in the garden, not to speak of a large artificial lake in the centre. Several projects were on hand for dividing it among the creditors. One Was to sell to the Duke of Connaught when he married ; that failing they tried to sell it to some en- terprising contractor, whe would pull it down and build smaller houses upon it. No one coming forward for that, the creditors are going to put it up for auction, when it is expected it will sell fora third of the building money spent upon it. :

The Sixth of November, by order pub- lished in the Canuda Gazette, ia to be ob- served as a day of thanksgiving. This is a holiday in which all nationalities and creeds can unite. Canada has much to be thankful for. Peace and increasing prosperity have been hers during this year, and the outlook is very bright.
