Howlan, see speech in Senate, 1878.

VanbaLism.—On Saturday night the door of Mr. Thomas Burris’ residence, on Great George Street, was besmeared with tar from top to bottom. The perpetrator of this vandalic act is well known and a war- rant will be issued for his arrest.

Apnovut one o'clock on Sunday morning a large stone was fired through the large window of the Apothecaries Hall. The watchmen and police heard the crash and hurried to the place, but could see no trace of the perpetrator. .

SO I SAY WITH REGARD TO THIS DOMINION, IT IS NECESSARY THAT THE FLAGGING INDUSTRIES OF THIS COUNTRY SHOULD BE PRO- TECTED IN TIMES OF DEPRESSION, LIKE THIS, BY THE GOVERNMENT, WHICH ALL LOOK UPON AS PA- TERNAL.—Hon. G. W. Howlan’s Speech

in Senate, 1878.

- AN individual (Ring) who has been lurk- ing about the city for some time past, en- tered the store of Mr. Ewen McDougall, dreat George Street, on Saturday evening, and asked for-a bottle of gin. The clerk, a’boy about seventeen years of age, filled a bottle. He perceived that Ring was minus eash, and refused to give him the bottle. He seized the bottle, and by word and action frightened the boy to let go the bottle. So doing Ring left the store. A warrant is issued for his arrest.

Mr. McLxop, owner of the yacht Agate, protested againft the result of the race be- tween his boat and the ‘Surprise’ on Saturday evening. He contends that after rounding the buoy at the New Asylum, the ‘Surprise’ instead of coming back to Pownal Wharf, shortened her course by immediately proceeding to Brickmaker’s Point The stakes, which are still in the hands of the referee will, we understand, be doubled, and the race will be_sailed over again on the first suitable day.

Ar the Stipendiary Magistrate’s Court, this foreroon, Joseph Bell, for stealing fruit from the garden of Dr. Young, was sen- tenced to 20 days’ imprisonment; Michael Egan, for allowing a nuisance to exist on his premises, was lectured and discharged; Alfred A. McKenzie appeared on summons for assaulting Arthur Clark, a pupil of Miss Fennessey; assault not proven; case dis- missed. Theophilus Chappell, for stealing a tin pan from the store of Wm. B. Allin, Esq., was. sentenced to one month’s im- prisonment with hard labor.

Mysterious LIGHTS are now brilliant in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It is said they are sure percursors of tempestuous weather and grievous shipwrecks. They have been unusually brilliant, and are seen blazing at yarious points almost every night, since the 15th of May. However, we think the mari- ner proper need not be molested. Since the lights have appeared, none have experi- enced tempestuous weather save the (rit

Yoéks ‘on every side. Her escape is des- ‘paired of, and she will doubtless go to ieces in the storm which will visit the rovinces of this Dominion on Tuesday, the

wife.” In it we find a contribution suil- able'for the present season from the wife of our Local Premier, as follows : ‘‘Squash Pie—Two teacups of boiled squash, three- | fourths tea-cup of brown sugar, three eggs, two tablespoons of molasses, one tablespoon melted butter, one tablspoon ginger, one teaspoon cinnamon, two cupfulls milk, a little salt, make two plate pies.” There are also§valuablereceipts by Mrs. W.

Lonpon, Sept. 6.

It was announced yesterday that three of the largest cotton mills in Blackburn would close in a fortnight. Notification was given that three others will work on short time.

The latest estimates of the number drowned by the collision on the Thames is stated to be between 600 and 700. A diver says he felt corpses packed four and five feet deep in the after cabin of the ‘‘Princess Alice.”

New York, Sept. 6.

The deaths from yellow fever at New Or-| leans, yesterday, reached 104, and there were 288 new cases. In Memphis the in- terments numbered 89, and 179 new cases. The people of Vicksburg, Miss., are ap- palled at the great mortolity, 43 interments having been made yesterday. The situa- tion at Grenada, Canton, Holly Springs and other places in the State is hourly growing | worse, and people are suffering for nurses and rations.

Sr. Louis, Sept. 6.

An accommodation train on the Missouri Pacific Railway, coming East, collided with the Kirkwood accommodation train going West, near Grand Avenue crossing, within the city limits, this morning. Five pas- sengers were injured, and both locomotives and one baggage car was wrecked. Loss $10,000.

WasHINGTON, Sept. 6.

The U. S. Consul at Martinique reports quite a severe earthquake was felt on that Island on the 3rd August. In the town of Diamont, in the South part of the Island, several buildings were thrown down. Little damage occurred in other places, and no lives were lost.

Lonpon, Sept. 7.

A Vienna despatch to the ‘* Standard” says Austria has informed the Porte that it is desirable that the occupation shall ex- tend to Mitrovitza. This has for the time increased the difficulty of negotiations, but the Porte is expected to yield at the last moment.

Destin, Sept. 6.

There is great rejoicing at Mitchelstown, County Cork, on receipt of the news of the intended release of Condon. Shops closed early, and there isa general illumination, and the streets are thronged with a jubilant crowd.

The Netion says: England has released nearly the last of the Fenian prisoners with- out having entitled herself to the slightest gratitude.

The ‘‘ Irishman” says Condon will be re- leased because he is an American citizen; had he been an Irishman only withont a claim on the great Republic, he would have been hanged like other martyrs.

The Tax on Flour in Charlotte.

“This tax, to which the Conservatives are as much committed as they are to their chief, must work like a charm in Grand Manan, Campobello, Deer Island, etc., whose relations are so intimate with the United States. The same will prove true of the whole of Charlotte, and, indeed, the whole Canadian frontier.”——St. John Tele- graph.

Yes, and what of it? Hom Mr. Me- Kenzie, the T'elegraph’s master, says that ‘‘the tax would not increase the tax ONE- NINTH OF A CENT on a barrel of flour.” Our fishermen on the Islands are not to be coaxed into the Telegraph's trap by such kind of bait as that ; his master has spoiled his ‘‘trick” this time.—Bay Pilot (N.
