SEVERAL comununica ions wmong tient one | by Mr. Harper, Prmeipal of the Normal | Shcol--are crow led out of to-day’s issue,

Ar the election held in Norfolk North, Eng., en the 22nd, E. Birbeck (Conservative) was elected to the house of Commons over Sir F. F. Bulton (Liberal.)

No movement is reported among the couriers at the Capes to-day, and we, therefore, do not expect to receive any mail matter before Sat- urday night, if then.

A LaTE despatch says that fears are enter- tained for the safety of the brigantine Arctic, of Bridgetown, from P. E. Island fer Great Britain with oats.

Tue person who stole Mr. Earl’s dog from his premises, last week, had better return the #ame at once, otherwise legal proceedings will be taken against him.

Wk would direct attention to the auction sale of Union Bank stock, to take place to- morrow (Friday), 3lst inst., at 12 o'clock, at the saleroom of William Dodd, Queen Square. } A good chance for safe investment in one of our most flourishing banking institutions.

Tue train which left Mount Stewart for Souris ou Saturday evening arrived at Souris this afternoon. ‘To-day a train left this city to clear the trackfrom Mount Stewart to Souris after the detained train, and we may expect to have communicatlon re-opened with Souris to- + morrow.

A FEW evenings ago a yeang man who was staying at Mr. Sinclair's boarding house, cor- ner Pownal and Sydney streets, hung his coat, hat and scarf in the main hall of that house previous to taking supper. Shortly after 7 o'clock he heard a noise in the hall; and, thinking it was an unsafe place to hang cloth- ing, he repaired thither to remove his apparel. He was convinced of the unsafety upon arrival, and has since been unable to discover the whereabouts of his coat. The noise heard in the hall, he suppeses, was caused by a per- son entering from the street who rav off with the coat.

Tue following paragraph ~which was inad- vertently inserted yesterday—-was clipped from a New Brunswick paper and of course refers to the Governor and Legislature of that Prov- ince :—

** MggTine or THE LEGISLATURE.—-The 19th of February seemed to meet with favor among members of the Local Government, as the day for assembling the Legislature; but was sub- sequently found that the absence of the Gov- ernor at the State Dinner at Ottawa, to which the Giovernor General has invited the several Lieutenant Governors for Feb. 13, would pre- vent his Honor from returning in time to open the Legislature on the 19th The opening is accordingly fixed for the 27th February.”

“‘Suven YEARS IN Rome.”’—This was the subject of the Rev. Dr. McDonald's lecture in St. Patrick’s Hall last night. He acquitted himself well; in fact he was “fat home,” and the large audience highly enjoyed his off-hand effort. He did not give a written discourse, but for over two hours he chatted with an in- telligent audience about great men and ques- tions that now form part of modern history. And nobody was tired listening—a sure sign ot an entertaining lecture. Welike this mode of imparting information. Hon. A. A. Me- Donald, our respected Postmaster, occupied the chair, and made a short introductory and elosing speech. D. Currie, Eaq., Collector of Customs, proposed a vote of thanks to the Rev. Dr. McDonald, which was received with an enthusiasm which is very rarely evinced on auch public occasions. The lecturer, pleased, yet embarrassed by the plaudits which had just greeted his ears, replied briefly and in feeling terms. Mr. James H. Reddin, in a short neat speech, proposed thanks to Mr, Stramberg and his band for their volunteered services. The vote was well received and well deserved. We should say the evening was one spent in pleasant intellectual recre- ation.

Tue Railway Superintendent—Mr. Mc- Kechnie--has issued a circular thanking the officers and men of the Railway staff ‘‘for the harmony, untiring efforts, and prompt obedi- ence to orders,” which prevailed throughout the tryin ordeal (i. ¢«. the late snow storm.) The circular states: Since the 13th, an almost continuous snow-storm has prevailed, cul- minating in the heaviest snow hurricane known for years, which, beginning on Satur- day, the 25th, lasted through Sunday, and until daylight on Monday morning. Up to Saturday night, the Trains had been on time. On Monday morning, however, the whole 200 miles of road was Stocked with snow. The drifts were from four (4) to fifteen (15) ft. high, many of them from a quarter to haif-a-mile long. One of these drifts, actually measured, was found to be twenty-one feet high, straight up from the track. The snow was hard packed and solid. At 7 am., on Monday, operations for cleaning the track began, and at 9.30 a.m. on Tuesday, the road from Char- lottetown to Tignish was opened for traffic, and at 6.40 p.m. the track was cleared to Géorgetown. On account of the small tank engine on the Souris train breaking down, that branch was not opened as early as it otherwise would have been.

TestimontaL. — The following _ highly complimentary testimenial from the Gov- ernment of Canada was forwarded by the Minister of Marine and. Fisheries to the Hon. Senator Montgomery, and by him presented to Capt. H. J. McLeod :—~

Orrawa, llth Jan., 1879.

Stx,—The circumstances connected with your rescue of Captain George Dowell, master of the barque James H. Myrick, on the 2lat November last, having been brought under the

notice of this Department, it affords me much

eatisfaction to convey to you the thanks of the Government of Canade, and to request your acceptance of the accompanying testimonial, consisting of a silver watch, which has been awarded in recognition of your humane exer- tions on the occasion referred to. I am, sir, your obedient servant, James C. Pop,

Minister of Marine, &c.

THE TARIFF, Military Reforms, President McMahon's Resignation.

Orrawa Jan, 29,

A tariff deputaticn will arrive here to- morrow, and another is expected here next week.

The report that Mr. Brydges has demanded an investigation into charges preferred against him by Dr. Tupper, in connection with elec- tions in Lower Provinces last September, seems to be confirmed.

The Free Press says that, owing to the great pressure brought to bear u the Govern- ment, it has been decided not to carry the proposed military reforms during the coming session. The Bill had been drafted in the sense of discontinuing district staffs and de- creasing the staff of the deputy at headquar- ters, but other counsels have prevailed. Now it is stated that only the paymastership will be done away with.

The proposed reduction of Ottawa official salaries will not take place.

Lonpon, Jan. 29. The cotton spinnersat Ashton have resolved to reduce the wages of all operatives 5 per cent. Paris, Jan. 29. President McMahon has _ tendered his resig- nation to the Ministry, who being unable to withdraw the military decrees, will probably accept it, and summon the Chamber to elect a President. reeeeaeetemnnerinnnenint AI pecans Tue following are the exports from the Port of Orwell during the quarter ending 31st Dec., 1878.

The Death-rate of

Our country is getting to be fearfully al- arming, the average of life being leasened every year, without any reasonaple cause, death resulting generally from the most in- significant origin. At this season of the year, especially, a cold is such a common thing that in ~he hurry of every day life we are apt to overlook the dangers attending it and often find, too late, that a Fever or

Lung trouble has already set in. Thon- sands lose their lives in this way every win- ter, while Bosshee’s German Syrup been

taken, a cure would have resulted, and a large bill from a doctor been avoided. For all diseases of the Throat and Lungs, Bos- chee’s German Syrup has proven itself to be the greatest discovery of its kind in medi- cine. Every Druggist in this country will tell you of its wonderfal effect. Over 950,- 000 bottles sold last year without a. single failure known.

Died.

_ At Little York, on Ist December, after a lingering illness, William Vessey, 65. He leaves a circle of relatives and fri to mourn their loss.

REMOVAL.

J D. CURRIE, formerly of the corner of . Pritice and Grafton Streets, has removed to King Square, to the house and shop former- ly ocenpied by George Munroe.
