Fishing last week was as good as we have had any week through the season. On Friday the boats all made good hauls, some running as high as 3,000. The American schooner ‘‘ D, B.

Berrs’ Cova, Nrtp.—A recent communi« cation from Betts Cove informs us that a melancholy and fatal accident occurred there by fire on the night of the 8th, when two houses were consumed, and two men, one named Hart aod the other Connors, were burned to death. Two others be- sides were very seriously injured, one of them, it is sai/!, having both hands very badly burned, The bodies of Hart and Connors, we learn, were brought on here for

intermeut a few days since. —Nfld. Paper. a ere amines Porators.—-In view of the probable de-

mand that will exist for potatoes in Grea Britain, owing to the decline of this year's crops, Mr, John Hughes, of this city, has sent per steamer ‘' Prince Edward,’ sev- eral samples of Island potatoes. These are the first samples of potatoes ever sent to England from this place and will, no doubt, enable English dealers to select and setavalue on the kind of potatoes that are suitable for their importation.

A LiveLy bear hunt took place on Mon-~ day night last at Miminigash. The animal was fired at but escaped wounded, it is thought. From the noise made in rushing through the wood. the. bear is supposed to be a very large one. We learn that &pother bear-hunt took place at Tignish a few weeks ago, the animal in that instance lso escaping: Our Tignish correspondent kindly sent us a lively description of the chgse, but we are unable to find room for it in this number of our paper.—Pioneer.

Tue S, S. ‘Prince Edward” sailed for Pictou yesterday, to take in bunker coal, aul proceed thence for Montreai, where she will load grain for Glasgow. She will feturn again to Charlottetown this fall, sailing from Glasgow about the 24th Oc. tober and from Liverpool about the 30th OctoLer. We understand it is the inten- tion of the Managers to place the ‘ Prince Edward ” on the berth on her arrival here in November to load potatoes for England, and as the potatoe crop is a failure there the ‘‘ Prince Edward "’ offers every induce- Ment to shippers who wish to avail them- felves of this opportunity.

Lonwon, Sept. 26,

Itis reported that by the Czar’s order the question of war or peace has been dis- cussed by the Council of Ministers of St, Petersburg. The Grand Duke Constana] tine, who presided, and the Minister of War pronounced for s continuance of war. Other Ministers were in favor of peace negotiations. This seems sensational and is altogether contrary to the general tenor of the news.

A further levy has been made on the Russian landwebr. Fiftystwo battalions are mow proceeding to the front.

It seems probable thatthe Turkish ac- counts ‘are correct’ that Plevna was re- victualled and reinferced on the 23rd by twenty battalions of infantry, two batteries of artillery, two thousand cavalry, and an immense quantity of food and ammuni- tion. Rainy weather is impeding operas tions.

Osman Pasha reports three considerable engagements since the 24th, in all of which the Turks were victorious. Osman Pasha's position is believéd to be secure, and the impression at Constantinople and Sophia is that the Russians and Rouman- ans are withdrawing gradually from the attempt against Plevna.

There is too good reason to believe that the na- tion must prepare for another struggle be- fore prosperity is regained. Frepericton, N. B., Sept. 26. This evening we were visited by a heavy shower of rain, followed by thunder and lightning. During the storm the light. ning struck a house in Gibson, occupied by David Evans, teamster, The lightning went down the chimney, tearing portions of the ceiling and floors with it, and struck a twelve year old daughter of Mr. Evans, slightly paralyzing one of her feet, but not seriously, Other damage is reported to have been done by the storm. ‘he storm lasted about half an hour,

Saturday’s storm has interrupted the fishing, and since then the highest catch per boat reported was 300. The fishermen report the mackere! still in abundance, but of a very poor quality. Several boats came to grief in the storm. Mr. Davidson lost twoand athird badly injured. We hear some of the Kildare boats were also badly damaged.
