A HUGE DISCOVERY.

THE editor of the Patriot has not yet identified Sir Thomas M yore 's “Utopia”; but he has made quéte- as~wonterful a discovery. By his admirable strictures on our second dull and stupid article on Victoria Park, a would infer that ‘hat point of land, the greater part of which is an impenetrable junction, is

stranger

in the City ! CROP PROSPECTS.

Tite oceasional showers of the past| fortnizht have made a wonderful change for the better in the appearance of the erops ; and the despondency of our far- mers is turned into mutual congratulas tions. yield will likely be unusually large. Barley will also make a heavy return. Oats promise well. Where potatoes have not “missed,” the plants are healthy ; and the tubers are beginning to form uvder the most favorable circumstances. The harvest will be an early one ; and there will probably be light straw and heavy grain.”

<vereih iin ae teeticngaineen WARD MEETING.

A weetine of the electors of Ward 1 was last evening held at the office of Mr. John Hughes. Archibald Kennedy, Hsq., ocenpied the chair. Mr. Joho Hiughes acted as Seeretrry. A discussion on Civie affairs took place, in which several gentlemen took part. It was moved, seconded, and carried unanimous: ly, that Thomas Handrahan, Esq., be requested to permit himeelf to be put in nomination for Councillor for the Ward. Mr. Handrahan declined the nomination on the ground that his business engage- ments would not permit his atteadance at the Council Board. It was then moved, seconded, and earried unani- mously, that James Peake, Esq., be nominated to serve as Councillor for the Ward. A committee of three, consisting of the following gentlemen, viz., Thos. Hlandrahan, John Togs, and M. P. Hogan, E-qs., was appointed to confer with simi. iar committees from other wards to select a gentleman for the office of Mayor. This Committee will be prepared to meet similar committtees from the other wards on Tuesday evening, the 31st July

PROPERTY SALE IN SOURIS.

The sale of building lots (as advertised) also came off on Wednesday, but the coms petition was not such as to warrant a very extensive sale. Those who parchased were :— Benj.

TUE RIOTS IN THESSTATES.

The excitement and turmoil of the Riots continue; but we have no startling facts to report this morning.

Governor Hartranft, of Pennsylvania, who was in San Francisco when the s{rikes be- gan, hastily returned. lle immediately jssued a proelamation, calling upon all law- vbserving citizens to organize themselves into armed bodies for the support of order, AtSt. Louis the strikers are not disposed io violence, but Internationalists and other desperate characters are threatening. Gen. Hope is closely watching the situation there. At Altoona, Penn., it is under- stood six or eight companies of State troops surrendered their arms to the mob, and the town is supposed to be under their control,

THE CIVIC ELECTION,

Warp has commenced the Civic campaign in the proper spirit and manner, [he nomination of James Peake, Esq.,will, we doubt not, be received w th favor by the electors of the Ward, and by the citizens generally, We hear that, if Mr. Peake ce cepts the nomination, Councillor Murry) will not oppose him.

Mr. Alex. McKinnon, of the foundry, is to be opposed in Ward 5° by Councillor Hooper. Mr. McKinnon is a thriving young manufacturer, 4 fair and square man, and a very good representa- tive of the manutacturing and industrial interests of the city. Councillor Hooper will, probably, find his match in Mr. Me- Kinnon.

THE TEA AT SOURIS EAST.

Tue Souris Tea on Wednesday was a grand success. Notwithstanding the light showers of the morning and some occa~ sional ‘Scotch mists” during the day, the attendance was unusually large. At an approximate estimate, there were not le3s than two thousand five hundred persons within the enclosure, Probably not «// of these sat down to tea: All sections of King’s and of the eastern moiety ot Queen’s County were well represented. The occasion proved a most enjoyable one. Never, in a similar assembly, was there a

faces, The ground chosen for the enter. tainment and games is simply beautiful, overlooking the little town and affording a fine view of the Bay and surrounding coun- try. On the highest point stands the new Convent—a brick building, eighty by forty- five feet, and three and a-half stories high. A little further back is the Catholic Chapel, and at the foot of the hill the ‘* Hall,” a twoxstory building, fiftyssix by thirty feet. Within the grounds were also provided three dancing booths, on one of which was labelled ‘Fancy Dances, oniy.”? The other two were for allscomers, and with 4 right good will were they all constantly occupied by dancers of both sexes, jeach rivalling the rest ‘‘on the light fantastic toe.”’

There were two refreshment booihs, one 78x12 feet, and the other 24x12. The waiters in these were kept “ busy as nail. ers,’ supplying drinks and confectionery during the whole day. There were also suitable departments for quoits, throwing the mallet, running, jumping, and the blind wheelbarrow race. This latter exs cited unbounded merriment, The pro- ceeds of the tea could not fall short of $600 or $700, Mr. Carlton mounted the stand and sold the first lot of fancy cake. He was relieved by A. McNeill, Esq., who in his own peculiar and humorous way knock

ed down the cake to his awakened bidders in a good lively style. Next on the stand we observed the active and facetious A. |. McInnis, Esq., of Murray River, who quickly attracted a crowd aroynd him by his inimitabie art of pantomime. He was followed by Mr. Carlton, who disposed of the last lot of cake sold.

In connection with this matter, we could not but reflect on the great facilities which the railroad affords in hightening the plea~ sures as well as furthering the usefulness of such rational and social entertainments as these public Teas. The cars which left the city in the morning must have taken in as many as five hundred pleasure seekers from the time they started until they ar- rived at the scenes of the festivity.

We would advise those who never visited Souris to make the first holiday they may take, a pleasure and a profit to themselves, by taking a trip in the cars to that eastern little town. There are also portions of the country along the line that present a very pleasing rural appearance, such as those around St. Peter’s Bay and Morell River. But we forbear noting axything further on this head at present, as we inteud to give a pen sketch of the town of Souris and some of its surroundings in an early num- ber of che EXAMINER.

The sing e scull race over a three-mile course ov the Kennebeccasis, between Wallace }ioas. of St. John, and Warren Smith, o! Halifax, was rowed on Wed- lov Int. At the start, Ross led;

[at ibe vurn, Smith was about half a length rahead. On the home stretch Ross gained on Smith, passed him and was about two leagths ahead, when Smith, throwing up his left hand, fell over into the water, Great excitement and alarm followed ; but Smith was speedily taken on board

the Judges tug boat, and attended to by his friends. He suffered no injury

from the accident —which, by the way, was caused by some defect in the patent row- lock, Hoss roved leisurely to the wining boat in 26 minutes from the time he started.

EVE POEL.

Case or Witttam McCaNnneELL FOR DISCHARG- IN; FIREARMS INTO 1HE CROWD ON THE EVENING OF THE 12H.

Jouxn A. McDoveaLt sworn.— Examined by Mr. Peters: I walked up to the Lodge with the procession. If only went up three steps of the stairs leading to the Lodge room when | returned and went out on the street. I returned in about half an hour and went into the Committee room. As | entered, a stone came through the window. In a short time prisoner McCannell and his brothers came in. There were a number of stones fired at this time. I said, ‘* What cin be the matter, are we going to be killed.’’ Prisoner McCanneil attempted to look out of the window, but was: obliged to come back on account of the stones. When stones ceased a little, prisoner Me- Cannell went up to the window and dis- charged a revolver over Miller Bros, sign into the air. I saw him fire another shot in the same direction: ‘These are the only shots [ saw him fire. When I heard it said the Magistrate arrived, I passed out of the Committe room through the Hall and got out ona back window. Cross-examined by Mr. Bayfield: | sometimes go around fining people for selling liquor on Sunday. i made complaints against Mallet and Jere. miah Collins for this business. I was not able to substantiate the charge against Collins, and [ settled the matter. * In the Committee rocm | was standing alongside When he fired those shots I was standing about three feet from him. The window was up and the glass was all broken at the time. His hand was not outside the window at the time he fired, When he fired, the revolver was about three feet from the window. ‘The revolver was levelled in a direct line across the street. From the position in which he held his hand the bullet went over the houses, 1 did not notice whether he had a hat on or not. He hadhis coat on. I cannot swear that he did not fire any shots out of any other windows that evening: He could not fire any shots out of the Committee room without my sseing him.

Dr. MoLegop, sworn (examined by Mr. Peters)--| examined Luke Higgins’ arm on the night of the 12th. I found a small wound on the right arm, about two inches above the elbow. He said he was shot. After looking at the arm (it seemed a flesh wound), [ went on with my work. After [ finished I probed it and could only enter the probe about halfan inch, 1 asked the boy where he received it, and he said at Apothecaries’ Hall corner. While eximin- ing, it occurred to me that the bullet only made a slight wound in the arm and it lodged in the coat. lasked him if he had his coat off before and he said he had. | then thought it fell out of the coat. The strongest proof tomy mind of it being a bullet was the small hole that was in the coat directly over the place the wound was inflicted. Cross.examined by Mr. Bayfield —If that shot had struck a vital part— such as a large blood-vessel, it might have been fatal. It is possible that the ball might yet be lodged in the muscles of the arm. By the size of the hole I could not tell what the size of the bullet was.

After looking carefully over the evidence the Magistrate ordered that the case stand over for trial at the Supreme Court. The} bail granted by Chief Justice was :—That two good and sufficient securities, in the sum of $320 each, be required for his ap- pearance at said Court in January next.

William McLean, for discharging fire- arms into a crowd on the evening of the 12th, discharged on his own recognizance and the sum of $20), to appear at the Su-

preme Court in January next, to answer said charge.

Archibald Ramsay, for carrying firearms on the 12th, was discharged on his own re- cognizance and the sum of $200, to appear at the Supreme Court in January next, to answer said charge.

NEW PUBLICATIONS. The Home of Gods People ; by the Rev. W. L. Gage, D. D.

We have received a copy of this very in- teresting and instructive book. It con- tains about 690 pages and 175 engravings, and a complete description of all the scenes and incidents mentioned in the Old ani New Testaments. It carries the reader to the scenes of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob's wanderings,—to the place where —even to this day their bones lie with those of Sarah, Rebekah and Leah. It tells us of the land of Moses the Deliverer, his footspath to the top of Mount Sinai, his mysterious burial; of Joshua the Conqueror; of David the Beloved—the poet, warrior ond king: of Solomon—his Temple, its size (no larger than a village church), its splendor and magnificence; of the uncouth Elijah, the purest, honestest, simplest character in the Old Testament, yet the greatest of all the prophets; of Samuel the princely; of Saul the warrior, and Jonathan his son; of Sams son the humorist—Gideon the Judge—Abis melch the tyrant—and Jeptha the free- booter; of the place where the latter subs jected the Ephraimites to the trial of pro- nouncing the word “ Shibboleth,’ which they pronounced * S.boleth.” and ‘ which trifling defect proved them enemies and cost them their lives; and there fell on that day, at the several passages of the river Jordan forty and two thousand men ;” of Deborah the heroic woman of Ephraim; of Esther the Hebrew maiden, and of the beautiful pastoral of Ruth; of the ambitious Jereboam—the cunning Jehu; of Absalom, and his tregic death; of Elisha, the master even of kings, and Hezekiah, the highest of all the kings of Judah, save David alone: of Isaiah, Ezra, Daniel, Nehemiah, and Mas lachi; of Josiah, during whose time the Bible was discovered amid the rubbish of the temple; ef Sennacherib, whose capital, in splendor, magnificence and luxury, far surpassed the cities of modern times; of Nebuchadnezzar, whose parks, palaces, summer-houses, warehouses and long line of streets would eclipse London, Paris and New York; of the majestic ruins of Tad. mor and Baalbec; of the gigantic temples of Egypt,—the desolate plains of Babylon and Ninevah,—the ruined cities of Idumea, Moab and Ammon—the high top of Nebo, —the rocky solitudes of Mount Sinai; of the written rocks whose mysterious charac- ters baflie the researches of science, eic., etc. We see the marble slab which marks the supposed spot of our Saviour’s birth: we were carried to. the places which witnessed His ministry, His death, His resurrecsion, and His transtigur~ ation; to the cave of Bethlehem, where for more than thirty years, Jerome fasted, prayed, and studied; to hallowed Nazar. eth, Cana of Galilee, Emmaus, Jerusalem, Capernaum, Hebron and Damascus. We read of tne wells, the mysterious tombs, the caves, etc, ; of the sycamores, palms, vlives, cedars, oaks, oleanders, fruits, flow~ ers and spices of Bible lands,
