SEMINARY FOR YOUNG LADIES. VISITOR :

The Lord Bishop of Nova Seotia

PRINCIPAL :

The Rey, John Padfield.

HIS SCHOOL offers, at very moderate

cost., the advantages of a comfortable and

pleasant home together with a thorough and refined education.

The course of Instruction is the same as that of the best Schools in England and is founded upon the University Examinations for Women. Eight young ladies from this School passed the Local Examination of the University of King’s College in June last. This is the only School in Canada that has passed pupils at a University Examination.

The number of pupils is limited, rendering the School select, and while it possesses all the educational advantages of a large public school, each pupil is enabled to receive that individual care and oversight which is so important, and which cannot be given in a large establish- ment.

Mr. and Mrs. Padfield are assisted by a stati of four resident governesses, besides visit- ing masters.

Parisienne French is taught conversation- ally. There are two resident French Gov- ernesses.

AFGHANISTAN. CaBuL, Oct. 25. The fire in Bala Hissar is nearly out. The powder magazine will probably be saved. Over 1,000 stand of arms were brought in under General Roberts’ proclamations. Bala Hissar will probably not be re- occupied. The Gen. contemplates its entire destruction. New York, Oct. 23. A London despatch states that the Cab- inet Council, yesterday, considered a plan for the ruling of Afghanistan, which shall place a native ruler over that country, sup-

‘ported by England, said ruler to be sup-

plied with funds for the support of a sub- sidiary army to be ofticered:by British, an English resident to be placed at Cabul, the revenues to be collected by natives under sritish superintendence. EUROPEAN. Pesta, Oct. 23.

In official circles it is confessed that the protocol of a treaty between Germany and Austria has been signed by the Chancellors and the Emperors of the respective coun- tries.

UNITED STATES. STRONGVILLE, Ont0, Oct. 23. Yestercay morning a murderous assault was made on Jacob Nuller, a German farmer, aged 60, his wife and an idiotic son, Nuller was killed outright ; his wife receiv- ed three wounds on the back of her head and three in her breast and in her hip. The son, aged 10, was shot in the left breast and received a blow on the head by some dull instrument. It appears that Nuller heard a noise in the night, rose up, and was shot dead, his body being riddled. Mrs. Nuller was the next victim. The son was sleeping in the rear of the room occu- pied by his parents. Another son named Lewis, aged 24, was arrested and confesses the deed. His mother will probably die. A property dispute was the cause. CUMBERLAND, Md., Oct. 25. Early this morning a freight train on the Pittsburg division of the Baltimore and Ohio Railway was wrecked by a rail break- ing three miles east of Connellsville. Six men riding on the gondola car were buried under the debris. J. Cheston Lynn, of Cumberland, aged 27, a musician of con- siderable local notoriety, was killed ; his body was frightfully mangled. Wm. Cout- ers, brakeman, of Cumberland, was ex- tricated in two hours and forty minutes ; he was severely injured.- Four other men, laborers, were badly injured. The loss to the railroad is several theusand dollars.

RicuMonD, Ind., Oct. 23.

PirtspurG, Oct. 23.

An accident eccurred on the Pittsburg

water Station, in which a freight train was badly wrecked, 12 cars thrown from the track and G. C. Lemmon, brakesman, was instantly killed.

Stella, Lillie and Mary Dunn, three little girls, attempted to set off a railway signal torpedo, by pounding with a boul- der. The explosion fatally injured Stella, aged three ; a fragment destroyed Lillie’s eyes, and Mary, aged seven, who handled the torpedo, escaped serious injury.

THE INDIAN TROUBLE. WasuincTon, Oct., 23.

Secretary Schurz to-day received a tele- gram from the Governor of Colorado, in which he says ‘‘ information from South Western Colorada satisfies him that most of Ouray’s warriors were in the Thornburgh fight. To surrender the criminals, Ouray must surrender his tribe, which he is pow- erless todo. They adhere to him for pre- tection only, and will not submit to punish- ment, neither will they surrender the White River Utes, who are bound to them by the closest ties and are no more guilty than themselves. They whipped Thorn- burgh’s command, and now Merrit retires, and it cannot be disguised that the fighting men of the tribe are hostile and fiushed with victory, that they are savages, that they take no prisoners except women, and their trophies are-not banners but scalps. If the policy of military inactivity continues our frontier settlements are liable to become scenes of massacres. Unless the troops move against the Indians, the Indi- ans will move against the settlers. Must 300 miles of border settlements be subject- ed to this peril? The General Government is doing nothing to deiend our settlements. They state that they cannot defend all this

border except by attacking the enemy. In behalf of our people, I represent this dan-

—}ger to you, and urge that the Government -

recognize that a war with barbarians now exists which involves the lives of numerous exposed thriving settiements. It can be terminated only by a most vigorous and uninterrupted warfare.”

Commercial Intelligence.

THE CATTLE TRADE.

Cable advices received at Montreal from London and Liverpool during the past few days report an improvement in the cattle market, more especially for choice beeves. This is probably owing to the fal- ing off.in Canadian exports of late. Freights on cattle are freely offered at $4 to Liverpool and Glasgow, but shippers only offer £3 10.

ANOTHER ADVANCE IN SUGAR.

Xefiners have advanced the price of granulated sugar to 10c., and at that figure there is a brisk demand. There is also an active enquiry for refined yellows, the low- est grades of which bring 8c. q: *k, being an advance of jc since last week.

THE COTTON MARKET-—AN ADVANCE.

A London cable says :— Advices from the United States have stimulated the Liver- pool cotton market, and futures have rapid- ly advanced one quarter per cent. The market is active at the advance.

WORKING NIGHT AND DAY.

Parks’ Cotton Mills run all day and late into the night. Both of the Nail Factories are running night and day.—<?, John Sun.

THE ENGLISH WOOL MARKET.

Lonpon,-Oct. 23.—In the wool market a brisk inquiry is experienced and consider- able purchases of English wools have been made for America at. a penny per pound.

FORRIGN FRUIT MARKET.

Spanish advices by cable received here to-day report an advance of 25 per cent. on Malaga fruit, causing a corresponding advance in the Canadian market, and we now quote prices firm with an upward tendency.

* THE N. P.

The sugar trade is lively at present. The Customs House is doing a rushing business: Truckmen and others are experiencing lively times. The West India merchants are making money as they have not made it for five years before. From the 16th inst. to the 21st inst., about Two THOUSAND hogsheads of sugar were forwarded from this port to Montreal. A hundred hogs- heads have been shipped to Boston. At this rate, the protective policy will net take even ten years to bring about Sir John’s patriotic purpose—to say nothing of the ‘‘Chronicle’s” twenty years.—Hz, Herald.

ADVANCE IN THE PRICE OF IRON,

A correspondent of the London ‘‘Stan- dard” of Oct. 22, at Wolverhampton, says circulars are out from more iron manufae- turers announcing a further advance in rices. Telegrams are coming in from Scotch and North of England shipbuilders and others ordering the immediate dispatch of heavy quantities of iron.

THE LONDONDERRY MINES,

We understand that the Londonderry Iron Works are again in full operation. The furnaces are in_ full blast, the rolling mill hard at work and business active in the several mines. We are informed that the Works will require 60 to 70 tons coke and an equal Sa CG of coal, from the Albion Mine, daily,to keep them going. The I. C. Railway has been obliged to~box upa large number of flat cars, for hauling coke.

TRADE REVIVAL.

The most pleasing feature in the many evidences of a general revival of business chronicled in these columns during the past few weeks, is that the present activity in most of our trade departments arises from a legitimate and healthy consumptive de- mand. The cumbersome stecks of mer- chandise which accumulated in this country during the speculative era of 1874 and 75, and which weighed like an incubus upon the mercantile world, blocking up and stag- nating every avenue of commerce, have been worked off, andj we are now; re- plenishing the limited supplies of many leading staples from our own factories which previously were manufactured abroad. This has undoubtedly added im- mensely to the business revival which ob- tains throughout the Dominion to-day, and which seems to be leading us on to still better times. The enforced economy which has been so rigidly practiced for the last four or five years, appears to be relaxing, and under a general restoration of con-

fidence, people who have been curtailing

their outgoings and without everything not virtually indispensable,are now commencing
