Shewas found living with a famiiy on Mofris Street asa domestic. On bein questioned by the officer she acknowledge being guilty, and said She would make the money up, which she did onthe spot. Her new mistress has given her warning to leave.

A VALUABLE PuRcHASE.—Says the Pioneer: Richard Hunt, Esq., of Summerside, has pur- chased from the Government the right to part of the river bed at the east end of the town and intends cultivating the oyster. He has had a number of loads of oyster shells thrown into the river, and he is now having placed on the ice loads of oyster shells and mud, which will thaw through and make a foundation for a future oyster bed. It is, we understand Mr, Hunis intention to,have a thousand loads placed in the bed this winter.

SoMETHING Like 4s Cokp WINTER.— The mildness of the present,winter appears to have-had its counterpart in 1841. The Weekly Obesrver; dated Jan. 26, 1841, a copy of which is in the possession of a resi- dent of Moncton, says that the winter was intensely cold in Europe. It says that three persons died from excessive cold, and in France the freezing over of the river above Paris came rather unexpected. The ice floated by the Seine, dropped at the Port de Austerlitz, crushing and breaking 20 barges in the river. In the vicinity of the Rhine and Danuabe the thermometer was 16 degrees below zero.

Sim DonaLp Smitu’s ATTACHMENT TO HIS Otp Home.—Mr. Robert Cruikshank, of Jardine & Co., who is a native of the town of Farres, Scotland, the birthplace of Sir Denald A. Smith, revisited the home of his youth when on his late trip across the ocean. Mr. Cruikshank tells of a very generous act of Sir Donald which shows his attachment to his old home. He contributed to the erection of a cottage hospital at that place the sum of £5,- 000 sterling, and followed that liberal offering by a cheque for £238 to pay for the land. He again came forward with £3,000 to com- plete the organization of the hospital.

A RATHER SuppEN Catt, —Michael Delaney died rather suddenly at Halitax on Saturday night. The particulars, as given in the Herald, are as follows:—The weather was #o mild on Friday that Delaney wore his summer overcoat to his work instead of the winter coat he usually wore. In the afternoon he attended the funeral of a friend. It rained very heavy, he got wet and contracted a severe cold. He was around as usual on Saturday, and went home at five o'clock. Later he obtained a copy of the Recorder, and while reading it was taken suddenly ill. At 9.30 he said to his wife: ‘‘I am dying, send for the doctor,” and went to bed. Dr. Camp- bell was summoned and prescribed for him ; but he died. before midnight.

Dr. Doyie’s Jusirer.—The Margate correspondent of the St. John Telegraph writes as follows:—‘* The late celebration of Rev. Dr. Doyle’s jubilee at Summerside, was an imposing affair and a grand success. If any living priest of the R. C. church merited the display of the good will and tokens of high esteem connected with this ocecasion, Father Doyle most assuredly did. And the manner in which he received them, together with the spirit of his reply to the address with which he was present- ed, indicates the possession of that humility which always characterizes the true Chris- tian ambassador.

Activiry AMoNG THE SraLerRs.—A San Francisco despatch of the 25th ult. says: There is great activity among the sealers, and the fleet will this season consist of 42 craft, of which 14 will leave this port, while the rest will be from Fugo Sound ports. The O. 8. Fowler has gone to Neah bay, where the British schooner Vega is waiting for her boats. All these veasels will be out by the end of February. There appears to be a de termination amoug the settlers to go to the Behring sea, The British fishing schooner Vega left Victoria, %. C., on the 19th for a trip south, She will put into Drake’s bay and there receive her boats, which will be sent up on the schooner John Frederick from this port. The schooner Vega, referred to above, was purchased at Halifax. -

OppFELLowsuip.—A most enjoyable time was spent in Oddfellows Hall last evening, on the occasion of the fraternal visit of

|Wildey Lodge to St. Lawrence Lodge. | Stirring speeches were made by prominent ‘members of the Order, which were inter- spersed with choice selections of music— Bro. W, A. Hawley ably presiding at the organ. References were made to magni- tude and influence of the order as contained in the following extract from the Grand Sire’s report at the last session of the Sovereign Grand“Lodge:—** There are more Oddfell-'vs in the world than any other or- ganizat .; even the Masonic Order num- bers 10U,V00 less than that of our ranks. The Order numbers in the United States and Canad. over 550,000 men, and they are all grow. suen and citizens of the sev- eral States aud countries in which they re- side. Just think for a moment what a power these 550,000 men must wield in this country of ours, for, allowing the usual average of five to a man, we have about two and one half millions of persons asso- ciated with the organization. Then we have 50,000 of Eve’s fairest daughters in our Order of Rebekah, and though it is what we call a side degree, it possesses a great importance.” Shortly after ten o'clock the closing ode was sung and the brethren departed ‘‘in peace and har- mony.” A return visit by St. Lawrence Lodge will be made on Tuesday evening, 26th inst.

Souris Rink Notes. So far the Souris East skating rink has proved a success, and under the present management bids fair to pan out large profits to the company. On Saturday even- ing the crowd was large and select, and put it altogether it was a red letter night for the future of the rink. Conspicuous among the skaters were two young gents from the

metropolis, who added greatly to the sport of the evening by the able and also generous manner

in which they aided the manager in clear- ing the accumulated snow off the ice. They also tried to illustrate to the surrounding spectators the modern movement known as cutting the grape vine, and in consequence many were attracted to watch the novel performance, and also learn the latest touch in modern skating. However, the gods were unfavorable, and they had only suc- ceeded in cutting one circle amid the dense throng, when they landed flat on their backs, minus of hats, etc., and began to fling the snow in all directions. Several young ladies hovering in their vicinity nar- rowly escaped being buried under the mina- ture avalanche. At the conclusion of this performance the manager promptly stepped forward and presented them with two very elaborate leather medals; and they were loudly encored by the surrounding specta- t The manager also extantian an invi- tation to them to be present on Monday evening.

Improved Fortifications.

Colonel Hennebert, of the Belgian army, describes underground forts, which have come into usein Belgium as one of the principal methods of National defence. One of these forts is like an enlarged mole hill, and is built of concrete. Measuring 60 metres in length, from 30 to 40 metres in width, it is about 12 metres below the surface of the ground, and its greatest height above the earth is no more than 3 or 4 metres. It presents the appearance of an elliptical cap placed on the ground, and is scarcely visible to the eye. At the centre of this artificial rock are three armored toweis, each with two heavy guns. There are also four small forts, which are pulled in and run out at pleasure, each armed with two rapid-firing guns.

At three suitable places there are armored points of observation, from two of which at night the electric light can be flashed to watch the operations of theenemy. Below this surface the earth is hollowed out in the form of a huge well with armored sides, which is divided up into sections, each part protected with heavy armor, one part for provisions and ammunition, another for machinery, which includes the dynainos and accumulators for the lighting of the whole fort, hydraulic machines for working the movable turrets and sending them ammuni- tion, pumps for supplying these engines with water, and a series of ventilators to keep the air pure. Communication with the outer world is made by a subterranean gallery, the length of which varies accord- ing to surrounding circumstances. The ceiling of this room is eight to ten metres below the surface.

To gain access to the fort a hydraulic piston is worked. This raises a ladder which runs along the whole length of the fort and lowers the door of the outlet, which is protected by armor twenty cen- timeres in thickness, and is under the fire of two of the movable forts. All move- ments, such as changes of guards, arrival of supplies, etc., are reported by telephone or telegraph. The guard does not work the hydraulic piston, except at command and when the sentries in one of the movable forts kave reconnoitered the visitors. Finally, the gallery communicating with the world is strongly fortified by an armored door defended by two mitrailleuses. The garrison consists of thirty or forty mechanics and specialists only, whose absence would not appreciably weaken the regiment from which they were drawn. The cost of one of these forts is, we are told, about $600,- 000.
