Our despatches announce that Donald A. Smith, the meanest liar in the Dominion and the most contemptible man in public life, except, perhaps, N. L. Mc- Kay, of Cape Breton, has been returned for Selkirk by nine votes over Hon. Mr. Morris.

Last Saturday George Baker, of Lowell, Mass., aged seventy, returned from the cemetery, where he had superintended the erection of his own tombstone, leaving blanks for the age and date of death. A few hours afterwards he fell down stairs and killed himself.

In New York 2 man named Hoffman was accused of having married no less than nine widows, and having defrauded them all of some property. The whole nine appeared in Court against him at the same time. He pleaded guilty to two of the indictments and was sent to the Penitentiary for eight years.

OIC Y¥so many go to See See Jones, because he is the man that first introduced the Tubular Wells aud his Patent Barrel Pump on this Island. Give him a call before you throw away any more money by patronizing his opposition. See his wells that can’t be pumped dry this dry time. Good work is the cheapest in the end.

Personat.—The Rey. William Lawson, formerly of the Carmarthen Street Metho- dist Church, and his bride, an English lady, arrived in the city last evening from Eng- land, having come out via New York. Mr. Lawson is at present located at Mount Stew- art, P. E. 1. His many friends in these Provinces will be glad to meet him and Mrs. Lawson.—St. John Telegraph, 28th.

TsE assumption of the Governor Gener- alship by the Marquis of Lorne is regarded on the other side of the Atlantic as no ordi- nary event. Several of the leading London papers will have representatives to record his progress. A London correspondent says the Illustrated News and the Graphic tiave selected their best artists, and that Mr. Forbes, of the Daily News, leaves Cyprus to represent his paper with the Marquis.

Ar the Stipendiary Magistrate’s Court, this forenoon, Albert Allin appeared, on complaint of William Kennedy, for stealing tobacco, cigars, fruit, etc., from his store. The statement of Mr. Kennedy was heard, and the prisoner remanded for eight days. James Smith, drunk and incapable, was fined $8, or 14 days. [In our report of Saturday’s proceedings we incorrectly stated that Mr. Neil Livingston was fined for as- saulting Murdock Bell. The case was ex- actly the reverse. |

Mr. Jonun Wetsu, hostler at Govern- ment House, met with a very serious ac- cident on Sunday evening. He was ascend- ing @ ladder to a barrack for the purpose of getting straw, when the ladder slipped and Mr. Welsh fell headlong to the ground. When discovered by another of the servants his face was bleeding freely and both arms appeared to be broken. He was carried to the house and Dr. Hopkirk summoned. On examination it was found that both arms were terribly fractured about the wrists, that ,his breast was severely hurt and his face cut deeply in several places. The wounds were dressed and Mr. Welsh was carried to his own residence, where he now lies in a very painful condition.

Tue St. John correspondent of the Tor- onto Mail has an exquisite bit of fun, in the following hit at the Telegraph: “‘I must give you an anecdote that 1s having a wide circulation just now. Mr. Fitzpat- rick, an aged follower of Mr. Burpee, went into a shop yesterday morning and asked for the Telegraph. The clerk didn’t have that paper, and handed the old gentleman the Sun, without informing him what paper it was. Mr. Fitzpatrick adjusted his spec- tacles, and began to read the leading article. He was evidently somewhat surprised at its tone. He stopped, nodded his head con- templatively, muttered to himself, and be- gan reading again, until coming to a sweep- ing rhetorical onslaught on the tottering Ministry, the old man threw down the

per, stamped his foot, lifted his clenched hood. and cried: ‘I kaew the d turn- coat would be over before twenty-four hours ~-I told you so.’ ”

For a short time Mr. William Kennedy, Confectioner, Queen Street, has been miss- ing sundry goods from his store. He was unable to detect or lay suspicion on any

n and until this morning, at an early leer, no trace of the petty thief could be found. It was suspected that the thief ob- tained egress by the rear windows of the store, and on Sunday night one of Mr. Kennedy’s clerks, in company with Ser-

t McGregor, laid in wait for the piun- derer. At three o'clock this morning a man named Albert Allin, son of a

oung highly respectable citizen, entered ‘The Confectionery” through a window ; pro-

seeded to the shop. and commenced to eram his pockets with all kinds of delica- cies. He was immediately arrested and brought to the police station. He was ex- amined before the Stipendiary Magistrate this forenoon, and remanded to jailj,for

eight days.

LONDON HOUSE

etre eee

Old St. Paul’s, London.

Another interesting relic of old London has lately been brought to light. A few weeks since as laborera were engaged in sinking a pit for the reception of a gas metre in the south-west portion of St. Paul’s churchyard, within the railings opposite Paul’s Chain, they came upon some sunken masonry, to which the attention of Mr. Penrose, the Cathedral surveyor, was called. That gentleman immediately or- dered certain excavations, the result of which was to lay bare the foundations of a building which beyond question must have been the Chapter House of Old St. Paul's. For ages archieologists have been speculat- ing as to the exact size and form of this same Chapter House, while the proofs des- tined to overthrow many of their specula- tions were lying in, perhaps, the most neglected part of the cathedral grounds at places not two feet from the surface. From the position of the two remaining but-

tresses—or their foundations—it is clear that the building was octagonal in form, and that in size it was much

larger than was supposed by Dugdale in hiselaborate work. Moreover,the axis of the

‘edifice differs from that shown on Dugdale’s

plans, and inasmuch as the axis of the Chapter House coincides with that of \the Cathedral itself, the old building must have been atadifferent angle from that hitherto supposed. There is now to be seen a strip of basement wall at the southeastern angle of the cloister, the arcading of which remains, showing the mouldings and bases of the shafts of the arches in a fine state of preservation. Here are visible fragments of Purbeck marble shafts, and the sharp, clear cutting of the stone fetched from Caen, in Normandy, of which the old Cathedral was partly built. In addition to the many mouldings and shaft bases is to be seen a portion of the pavement of the cloisters, which must prove one of the most interesting feautures in the discevery. The squares ef this pavement are arranged diamondwise, and are ata level of fully five feet below the existing surface of the ground—proof of the surface of the London streets having been gradually but steadily raised through the intervening years. This isa mere outline, and necessarily imcom- plete sketch of the remains of the old Cathedral, which are open, we believe, to the inspection of the public.
