Chipman,— a social event which has been on the ¢apis for some time—took place on Thursday morning. The happy couple have the best wishes of a host of friends in every section of the Pro- vinces.

Ir seems that Germany is to have an Inter- national Exhibition in 1885, and that the pro ject has been approved by the Emperor and Crown Prince. The former can scarcely hope to see that event, and six years is so far ahead that even the latter is likely to see many great changes in Germany before the Exhibi- tion is held.

The community is most cordially invited by the church to attend these meetings. — Com.

Two sailors, stripped in P. R. style, at- tracted a large crowd in the vicinity of the Bank of P.{E. 1., yesterday morning. Both were beastly intoxicated. They were captured by the police and lodged in the statien to await trial. Their names are John Broader and James O’Donnell. ‘They were, this morning, each fined $1 and costs. * * * George Peters also appeared at the Magistrate's Court for being drunk and incapable. He was tined the same as those above mentioned.

Tue races at Truro Driving Park came off on Thursday. he afternoon was very fine, and a goodly nuinber attended, ‘The race was in 2.50 class. Five horses started, and after five well-contested heats, the race was given out from the Judge’s stand as follows: ‘‘Barbara Patchen,”’ first; ‘‘Lookout,” (Mr. A. Holmes’), second; ‘“ieorge Barker,” third; ‘*Billy,” feurth; ‘‘Kitty Thorne,” fifth. The time made by *‘Lookout” was 2m. 40 sec.

Mr. R. B. Neat will preach during the morning services at the Christion Church at Let 48. Subject:—‘‘The perfect law of liber- ty.” Mr. Neal has charge of a christian congregation in Louisville, the metropolis of Ky. His visit to our Island is in the interest of his physical health, suffering from finjuries received by a fall from a buggy some time sinee. ‘The churches are embracing this op-

rtunity of hearing him on matters pertain- ing to a common faith anda godly life. As his strength will admit he is responding to the appeals. ‘The public is invited to hear him. —CoM.

HaNLAN-CourtNey — Tue Latter Cown- Fesses His |NeRtortry.—A New York Herald Auburn special regarding the proposed match between Courtney and Hanlan, reports the former as saying that ‘‘no definite arrange- ments had been made for a contest, but if one come off, it willtake place between the Ist and 10th of October, and will probably be

ulied this side of the Canadian line. A manu- acturing firm of Rochester promises to pre sent a purse of $5,000, open to Hanlan and myself and all others, [don’t row in a race opened to others than Hanlan and myself and

rickett. If he could come I don’t care where the race comes off. The only reason I row is because I am forced into the match. I can’t beat either Hanlan or Riley if they can row two miles in 12 minutes 25 seconds. This is faster than | ever rowed in my life. If Han- lan can row four miles in 27.02, hecan leave me clean ont of wight. I can’t row as well now as when I was twenty-two. It is not improbable that next week the time of the match will be arranged and articles of agree- ment prepared, and, perhaps, signed.”

A peculiar case of trance has caused great excitement in Hereford, England. It is that of a young girl who had been laid out for dead, and for whose interment all preparations had been made, when it was discovered that she was inatrance. For three weeks before that she had partaken of no food, and since her recovery from the trance she has had her tongue protruding, the eyeballs rigidly fixed, while the frame at times has been hysterically agitated.

MISBOELLANZOUS

A Cinciniiati policema on the foree to swear to order to help a comrade convict a prison Plenty of other people have known the same thing, and outside of Cincinnati, too.

The State debts ‘‘repudiated” hy the Southern States are re} orted to be $272,- 000,000, It is estimated that $80,000,000 of these losses are sustained by foreign capitalists ; 15,000,000 by Northern credit- ors and the remaining $42,000,000 by Southerners.

A Socialist named Sanoff is said te have roasted himself slowly over a petroleum lamp, left in his prison cell at Odessa, until he had burned enough of his flesh to insure his death. His action was only dis- covered by the smoke issuing from his cell. Neither at the time nor afterward did le utter a ery, and he died as he intended.

There has been a disturbance in Lyons, caused by the playing of the ‘‘Marseillaise,” which was hissed at a cencert. Since the ‘‘Marseillaise,” says a radical paper, dis- pleases the reactionists, this is the reason why it should be played on every possible oceasion. ‘*This warlike song will conduct us to victory over the hordes of Loyola”’ Fortunately, the bulk of the nation is com- posed of moderate men, determined to re- sist violence no matter from which side it comes.

The General of the Jesuits has been sum- moned to Rome to recive the order to con- form to the Pope’s Encyelical letter con- cerning the teaching of philosephy. The Pope’s medical advisers have been com- plaining that his constant confinement in the Vatican is injuring his health, and the Cardinals have been consulted as to the policy of a brief change. He is said to be anxious to throw aside the notion on im- prisonment so carefully nurtured by Pius IX.

A remarkable freak of lightning is re- corded in a French newspaper. A farm laborer, running for shelter, was suddenly thrown to the ground, the fork he carried on his shoulder being wrenched from his grasp and carried through the air to a dis- tance of fifty or sixty yards. The prongs were bent and twisted with well-nigh mathematical accuracy, into the shape of corkscrews, the steel being burnt, and formed, on its exterier surface, into small laminz, which emitted a slightly sulphurous odor. The laborer escaped without injury.

Says the Monetary Times : ‘‘In the midst of the prevailing gloom and anxiety, there is at least one subject for congratulation : Money is plentiful. No embarrassment is felt by any commercial firm from inability to get good bills discounted. No manufac- turing enterprise is crippled, much less standing still, because of the stoppage of the necessary supplies, or even their dimi- nution. No legitimate enterprise is being nipped in the bud, because the necessary accommedation to carry it on can- not be obtained. And this is the case, notwithstanding that four banks have, within the last six months, ceased to supply their customers with facilities It is a somewhat singular state of things. The aggregate discounts ef these banks amounted to millions, and their stoppage might have been supposed to bring embarassment to numbers of firms wherever their operations were carried on. But nothing of the kind has taken place. It is true, we have seen the suspension of a number of firms following on the elosing of the doors of the Consolidated Bank, but these firms were in an irretrievably bad state in any case. They were mere excre- scences, in fact, upon the cemmercial body, and their removal would have come about in some way, even if there had been no bank failure to precede them. We repeat that the absence of commercial disasters from scarcity of money is one of the most remarkable features of the present time.
