we would inform them that we have now increased facilities for the production of tirst-cluss work, and are prepared to make Poorocrapus of @ Style and Quatily thal has never been before allempled in this City. We have on exhibition, at our Rooms, a lurze number of Photograps of every rariety, including the
BEAUTIFUL PHOTO - ENAMEL
he mest beautifal style of Photograph known, possessing a sofiness and delicacy of coloring that has never beel equalled. This elegant picture has become ceservediy popu ar elsewhere, and cannot fail to be- core so here.
Though the finish cf our Photographs cannot be excelled, we wou'd direct alten- tion to the beaulitul
{slaee’
which we make. They possess a highly enamelled surfuce, and are practically indes- tructible, and will retain their freshness and beauty for any lengih of time, If they become soiled they can easily be cleaned, as they will not lose any of their beauty by being wet. ‘This valuavle quality, com- bined” with their remarkable clegance, make them very suitable for presents; while the difficulty of their production will prevent them ever becoming sO common as to lessen their value. Our patrons cap have one or all of their Photos finished in this style—an advantage which cannot be vbtain d elsewhere. -
We give special attention to making Groups of Faw: lies, Societies, Schools, &¢
Our pictures of children ace sufficient evidence of our success iu this difficult branch of our art.
Our ¥NLARGEMENTS, finished in India Ink, Pastel, Creyon, Oil and Water Colors, have made a favorable reputation for them selves throughout the Lower Provinces.
Parties intending to have Photographs made will find it to their advantage to sit early, as the number of our cu ‘tomers makes some delay in the delivery of the Photos unavoidable. We prefer to have our sitters come by appointment,
Photographs can be Obtained for less money eisewhere ; bul in this case We ask that quaiity be given lhe preference; as- suring tne public that they will fad our eharges very moderate.

The Murder of Mrs. Quinn.
The dreadiul crime committed at Little
River on Wednesday is still the absorbing topic of conversation in St John.
Vaughan protests his innocence, and de- clares that he can account for his imoye- | ments. The police, however, are so stead- fast in their belief thet they have the right
man, that little or no efort is being made
in any other direction. Many suppose that tie prisoner is the man who set fire to the jail a few years ago, but such belief is not He is a brother of that Vatghan. | The jail incendiary afterwards escaped from

Great Fira at Chatham.
On the l4th inst., a fire broke out in the Roman Catholic Cathedral at Chatham, N. B., originating near the front vestibule. It was discovered by His Lordship Bishop Rogers, by the presence of smoke in his sleeping apart- ment, on the second floor of his residence, which wes connected with and commanded a view of the church. ‘
In the same pile of buildings was St. Michael’s College, under the Christian Broth- ers, with the residence of the members of that orter and of the boarding pupils, numbering, perhaps, fifty, besides the extensive library of te Bishop, the quarters of the resident clergy, private chapel, etc.
This block of buildings was of wood, three stories high, besides stone -basements nader the residences of the Bishop and Christian Brothers. ‘The central portion was one hur- dred and twenty-six feet deep from the front of the Cathedral to the rear of the vestry, and the wings extended from each side, making the structure assume a cruciform shape, each wing being 35x57 feet. z
The building on the towa front thus measured one hundred and fifty feet. The west wing contained the Bishop’s residence. Tae east wing, the college and Brother's residence, while the Bishop's library was situated in the centre of the floor above the very. Parallel with the Cathedral or central building and from the outer end of each wing another wing extended 2 distance of 74 feet, or on the line of the cathedral front, the latter wings being connocted with the front of the central build ing on the west side, and by a corresponding structure used for general outbuilding par- poses. The fire spread rapidly; it leaped from the cathedral by way of the dry wooden galleries, as well as the exterior of the college, and also by way of the sanctuary to the library, aud in I¢ss than anhour all hope of saving any part of the block was abandoned, and the efforts of the firemen and citizens wore di- rected to stopping the progress of the flames at the cottage last named, and thus prevent them crossing an open space of some twenty fect and destroying the Convent Schools of the Sisters and the Hospital 01 Hotel Dieu which occupied an even large building to the west of that on fire. By hard work the portion of the cotta‘re attached to the main building was partially cut away.
The Rishop is a heavy loser both personally and as the head of the Diocese. More than half the valuable works ia his library were destroyed. ‘Phe vestments which were within the church, were lost. Much furniture also was consumed. In short about one-half of the moveable property in the entire structure per ished. The Christian Brothers lost all their stock of stationery and many of their books and implements in use; and the students were also losers of a good deal.
The residence of Mrs. Johnstone, widew of tho late John M. Johnstone; was in great dan- | ger, but escaped, althongh the furniture was moved from it and thereby damaged to some extent.
The insurance on the burned block which
25m
was worth perhaps $25,000 was but $10,009,

A Horzip Trapz.—Chicago people have been greatly disturbed by discovering that a family named Shinn have recently taken | up the industry of boiling down human’ bodies and mounting bones for medical cabi- | nots. They have set up a la-ge soap-kettle in! their back-yard, and every morning tho air of the neighborhood is loaded with the nauseating oders from this ‘‘ hell broth.” The worst of it is that there is no secrecy about this horrid process, and anyone who takes the trouble to watch the premises for a few hours will have his eyes regaled by the sight of human _heacs; limbs, and other fcagments of mortality tossed into the calc- ron and stirred together by the grinning fiend who presides over the infernal decoc- tion. This delightful establishment is sup- posed to be supplementary to the medical college, but the neighbors, whose sensibili. ties have not been blunted by an intemacy with science, are in astate of great indigna._ tion. :

4A Modern Case of Kidnapping.
There was quite an excitement in New York the other day over the disappearanee of Henry Clews, a prominent banker in Wall street, and correspondent of some of our St. John bankers, who was spirited away no one knows how or where. It seems that he waa arrested on a process issued by a Chautauqua County Judge for a debt which was extinguished by his discharge in bankruptey more than two yearsago. His captors kept Mr. Clews concealed in the upper story of a third-class hotel, and en- deavored to extort money from him. Fail- ing in this, they tried to get him ont of New York without detection, but were con- fronted at the Grand Central Depot by an Oficer of the Supreme Court with a writ of habeas corpus, issued by Judge Donahue,
id My, Ciows was released from custody. Mhe fact of such an event having taken dace in New York shows the possibilities in
the way of kidnapping which still exist in that city.—St. John Tel.

tne hangman’s record for 1877 shows 83 murderers hanged in the ‘ Of this number 47 were wiutes, 3£ colored, 1 Indian and 1 China- mah; iour were hanged fer indecent as sauits, 1 for burglary, 3 for wife murder, Ll for tilicide and one for fratricide. ‘There were three double executions, one triple, two quadruple, and one in which six men wero hanged. Not a single woman was hauged ; the only one sentenced to death, ‘irs. Louisa Lawsar, of Virginia; had her sentence commuted to imprisonment for hie by the Governor. Friday still main- tains its reputation in the black list as the :avorite day on which to enforce the death penalty; more murderers having been hang- ed oa that day than all the others of the week combined. Forty-seven murderers were hanged on Friday, 17 on Taursday, 8 on Saturday, 6 on Monday, 3 on ‘fuesday, anp 2on Weduesday. There were 5 exeeu- tioas in January, 5 in February, 6 in March, 10 in May, 15 in June, 11 in July, 1 in August, 5in September, none in Oc. tober, 9 in November, and 10 in December. Pennsylvania stands first in the lists of the States for the greatest num ber of executions during the past year,— South Carolina being Second. The cxecu- tions were distetouted among 25 States, as follows : Pennsylvania 16, South Carolina 13, North Carolina and California 5 each, Blissouri, Maryland, Georgia and Virginia 4 each, New York, Louisiana, Arkansas, Nevada and Tennessee 3 each, Mississippi and Ohio 2 each, New Jersey, New Hamp- shire, Delaware, Alabama, Kentucky, Tex- as, aa Dakota, Oregon and Wyoming k each.

Sunday last wasa day of high festival in the parishes of the Rev. Father Trudelle. The occassion was a visit from the Rey. Ronald B. MeDonald, President of the Central Council of the Union, who cele- brated High Mass in Hope River. The Band from Rustico was present and dis- coursed some appropriate pieces of musie betore, during, and after Mass. The choir sang the beautiful Mass composed by the Rev. Father Trudelle, and, in the words of the President, it reflected great honor both on the author on the choir, who rendered it in excellent style. At the end of Mass, Mr. William Hogan, Secretary of the Tem- perance Society, presented an address of welcome to the Rev. President of the Coun- cil, to which he. suitably replied. After which he entered into a most instructive discourse on Teniperance, and had the satis. faction te see a large number come forward and take the pledge. St. Ann’s Society, of which Mr. Joseph Harrington is President, now numbers 260 members.
In the evening, Rustico had its» show of the honors. After the celebration of Ves- pers by the Rev. President, at which the band played, and Father Trudelle perform- ed on the organ, and the people mot in the Institute to listen to another lecture on Temperance, from the Rey. President of the Council, who spoke for an hour and three-quarters, to an audience estimated at from 1,000 to 1,200 people. The lecture was mo3t interesting and eloquent, and was highly appreciated by the large audience present. At the close of the legture over 50 new members enrolled their names in the T. A. Society, which now numbers 440. I believe that nearly all the people in these parishes are total abstainers. Sunday, on the whole, was ai day that will be long remembered by the people
of Hope River and Rustico ; and the thanks
| of these Parishes are due to the Rev. Fath- er Trudelle, who takes such a lively interest
in the welfare and improvement of these in- structed in this case. Frorenxce Prrers,

The crew escaped on a raft without food or water. On the 16th, when od Nevis, the mate lefi the craft on a smal- ler one to obtain assistance from Nevis and and nothing more was heard of him. On the 19th the crew were picked up by an American schooner and landed at St. Mar- tins in a starving condition. A dog wes killed for food but could not be eaten.
