A Montrea) despatch of the 19th inst. says that the flood continues as bad, if not worse, than ever. The water fell during the night about a foot, but has since risen agaiu, and is still advancing. Heartrend- ing scenes of destitution and distress are reported from the flooded districts, where it is estimated that the honses of 3,500 per- sons are under water, Relief measures have been improvised, but seem to do but little good to relieve the suffering. To add to the disagreeableness of the situation,
seceders are playing into the hands of the|the city is in darkness, both the gas and
electric light works being completely under water. Usless the flood abates days, @ semi-famine wili ensue, as even now the prices asked for articles of household use, such as coal, oil, flour and other f-od are double those in or- dinary times. The direct loss, exciuding possible damage in the future, sickness, etc., is placed at at least $8,000,000, «f which the Grand Trank alone lose $1 _000,- 000. Large wholesale houses all reports stocks more or leas ruined by water, par- ticularly dry goods. One firm alone esti- ma‘es ita loss at $250,000 Reports from the country south of the city bring tidings of asimilar siate of affairs; barns conteining stock, and even farm houses themselves, being swept away. It is feared that loss of life has resulted; but this cannot yet be ascertained. An attempt will be made to blow up the obstruction with dynamite, but it is believed it will be useless.

The Sad Fate of a Policeman.
(After Tennyson—considerably.)
An officer stood on the crossing one day, Who with answering questions was tired,
When a “‘poke-bonnet maiden” passing that way, The way to the “Barracks” enquired.
The weary policeman directed her, straight, To the haven she so wished to find ;
And lest she might miss it,after pointing the way, He cautiously followed behind.
Having entered the Barracks, and heard her “hold forth,” His mind was in sad tribulation ; But at last he found peace, and sought to convert His comrades down at the Station.
* * > . +
The officer's seen at the crossing no more, For something’s gone wrong in his brain;
And his family are thinking of placing him, soon, In a home for the harmless insane.
THe closing entertainment in the Zeta Phi course was given last Friday evening by the Redpath Concert Company of Boston, It was the finest musical treat we have listened to for alongtime. Each member of the company is an artist and wrs encored after each piece, to which they responded. The whistling of Miss Cham- berlain was wonderful.— New York Gazette.

ANOTHER of our best.ateck getters has been coveted by our neighbors across the Straits. General Frank, owned by Mr. James Picker- ing, New Loadon, has been purchased by par- ties from Sackville, N. B., at a handsome figure. General Frank travelled in Sackville and Amherst for two seasons, and it speaks well for his stock that a number of farmers would club together and purchase him. General Frank took a prize in 1881 at the Dominion Exhibition in Halifax, and in 1883 in St. John cleaned out all the Dominion bref horses of his class. Neither has he ever been beaten by any Island bred horse at our own Exhibitions, —Com.
