Tar Roman Catholic congregation of Chatham, N. B., came toa very heavy loss on Wednesday mght, by having their!

A very interesting review, of music was held in the Music Hall of the Convent de| Notre Dame this afternoon. The exercise! commenced with the youngest pupil in the MLtIsic lass and gradually ascended * to the most advanced pupils, who executed with the greatest taste the most difficult pieces of | music. There were a number of clergymen | and many of the pupils’ parents present. | At the close the reverend gentlemen ex-| pressed their satisfaction at the higher order | ¢ attained by the pupue of this insti- |

of mu Bution.

Pustic Nuisance.—During the last few) davs there has been a large quantity of snow and dirt thrown on the ‘‘crossing” between the Ferry and Railway Wharves. As this is the only good and safe track for people coming from the other side of the river, it is highly improper that it should be blocked up. Is there not a law to prevent persons from throwing nuisance in such places? If there is, would it be too much to ask the City Surveyor or those in authority to have the offenders punished and the nuisance re- moved immediately ?

New Sion. —Mr. J. B. McDonald has suspended over his dry goods store on Queen street a very handsome banner sign, which effects a great improvement on the outside a»pearance of his store. It is similar to the sign lately displayed by Mr. T. L. Chap pelle, and is splendidly painted and finished.

Those signs are a very late invention, and‘

have only been introduced into this Prov- ince a short time. They are a great im- provement on wood, and are, we dare say, the most perfect and durable sign ever brought before the public. All its parts con- sist of metal, and there is no danger of its splitting. Mr. P. W. Trainor, Painter, is the agent for P. E. Island.

Tas “Old Curiosity Shop” of the ‘‘Pat- riot” is bece ning very stale and imbecile in his literary efforts. His production in this morning's issue of that paper lacks the ‘‘es- sential element” to an alarming extent. He seems to havea perfect horror of the Doctor. It is not unusnal for imbeciles to be afraid of doctors. We made no attempt ‘“‘to show that supporters of the Local Gov- ernment signed the document in order to condemn the School Board.” It was his own beloved (?) contemporary the ‘‘ Argus ” that said the object of the meeting called by the requisitionists was to oondemn the Board and the Government. We only pointed out the fact that, if such was the object, it was largely shared in by influen- tial supporters of the present Local Govern- ment. What will those gentlemen think of the ‘* Old Curiosity Shop ” insinuating that they were gulled by the Doctor in plac- ing their signatures to the requisition? What will his honor the M. L. C. for Strath- albyn say to that?) We can tellfihe ‘‘ Pat- riot” and its ‘‘ Old Curiosity Shop” that gentlemen signed that requisition who are older and far more consistent supporters of the ‘‘Free School System” than they are, and who also are of the opinion that the erec- tion of a costly school edifice in that remote part of the City is not an act that should call forth the laudations of any party.— Com.

Latest by Telegraph. WARK NEWS. [By Telegraph to Reeuling Room and Daily Exam iner. | New York, Feb. 14. Exchanve 82 to 84. Lonpon, Feb. 13. The ‘ Advertiser” says: ** The British

fleet passed the Dardanelles, and are now in the sea of Marmora.”’

The Transport Department have com- menced negotiations with large contractors forimmediate delivery of a considerable quantity of provisions required for the

Gold L624.

The ‘* Standard” says that England is prepared to act alone in bridling Russian ag- gression, and other powers can look after their own interest. Austria is ac tively pre- paring for war.

The London agent of the Bank of Mon- treal telegraphed that he believed war is unminent.

The ‘‘Advertizer” publishes the following in official form : We have reason to believe that the fleet has passed the Dardanelles, and is now in the Sea of Marmora. We understand that Admiral Hornby was left free discretion as to the course he would take, and in all probabilities a larger force has gone than was at first contemplated.

We believe the Porte has contented itself | with a formal protest.

The “Standard” and ‘Post’ confirms the report that the British fleet passed the Dar- dannelles.

The rumor that Earl Derby resigned is | positively denied.
