Found Dead.

Ar half-past eight o'clock this morning it | was reported at the Police Station that a| man was lying dead im a shed on Lord’s!

wharf. Two of the police immediately proceeded to the wharf, and in the upper flat of a block shop occupied by Mr. James Pedbles they found the man as_ reported. The apartment in which the body was found is & wrete thed, gloomy, fithy hole, having marks of eve rythin 1¢ but what would be the ahadow of comfort to a poor human. The bed on which he was laying is con structed on the floor by a board about a foot and a half wide, supported by a tobacco box and a small log. A bag of hay covered with a door mat was used asa matrass; a filthy quilt and afew old coats as a cover- ing; and a small box covered with rags as apillow. At the side of the bed there were an empty ale bottle, a lamp, and a fig of tobacco. The floor of, the apartment was eovered with filth, and the surroundings of the carpse prese nted a ver af sickening ape pearance. There were only a shirt and pants on the body when found by the police. it was lying bac kwards across the bed, wit the he ad touching #he floor on the le ft |

side. The arms were thrown upwards.

Rlood was flowing from the nose, and the | fleer. at the side of the bed, was wd

covered with traces «f blood and vomit. The ry Was pale, the upper part of. the face black; but no traces of laden “ere ib! It was that of a blacksmith : were visible. t was that of a blacksmith

named James Haywood, who belongs to |

Massachusetts, and arrived in this city in the spring of 1877. Since his arrival he has drank very’ hard; ute very little ; and has slept, during the last win- ter,in Mr. Peebles’ shop, which, is by no means, the most comfortable. It is the y sere of the Coroner that he came to his | death by conjestion of the brain, caused by atush of blood to the head, and vomiting | while lying with his head downwards.

An ingue St Was held on vie W of the bods |

before Dr. Jenkins at 10 o'clock this morn- ing. The only witness examined was Mr. James Peebles with whom the deceased had been working. He deposed that the | deceased ceased working on Monday. He was then complaining of being sick inward- ly. Ithink he hada cold. He slept in the-workshop previous to Wednesday, at which time he moved his bed up-stairs. Last night when [ left him, he was a little easier than before. ] gave him a bottle of ale yesterday morning. He had half of it when T left him last night. leave the shop after 1 did. I came to the shop at 8 o'clock this morning. I called | him, but got no answer. I went up stairs and foun: i him dead. He was in the Ameri- ean war for four years. He was in the} habit of drinking freely. He is an Ameri- can citizen.

The jury returned a verdict that the de ceased came to his death by natural causes.

Upton Park.

FHE spring meeting at Upton Park will

be held on Friday next, Queen’s Birthday. This meeting 15 expected to be one of the largest.ever held on the Island. The cele- brated mares “Fairy” and “Princess” will trot on the occasion, and the fastest horses in Prince County will then compete with the much-talked aboat trotters of this County. The track is now, and will be, in excellent condition. There will be another meeting on Dominion Day. At this meet- ing there will be hurdle and flat races in addition’ to trotting. A lively time may also be expected. The owner of this Park has gone to very much expense in order to place it in its present beautiful condition, ao as to afford amusement for the public. His efforts should therefore be encouraged by all lovers of innocent amusement. We hope the Park will this season receive a very large amount of patronage.

A despatch from St. Petersburg says that it is believed that Schoubaloff has succeeded in convincing the Emperor that it is to Russia's interest to concede to Europe the most of the demands formulated by Eng- land.

The assembling of the Congress appears consequently assured, despite. the difticul- ties which have arisen at Constantinople concerning the surrender of fortresses.

The Russian military authorities have forbidden the Bessarabian Deputies in the Roumanian Parliament to attend any more sittings of that Assembly.
