The clerks would, we feel sure, apf preciate the change, and we do not think that the customers would complain provided suffi- cient notice of the arrangement were given.

Tue Lorne Hotet.—At this season of the year, when tourists and uthers who desire to spend a few months by the seaside are seeking quiet resorts convenient to the capital of the Province, strangers often ask the hotel keeper: ‘* Where can we go to get a quiet place, near a railway station, not far trom the city, where we can have shooting, boat- ing, fishing, etc?” For some seasons past the Lorne Hotel, Tracadie Beach, has been a favorite summer resort for invalids and pleasure seekers. This Hotel, with all the Furniture, is to be sold on the premises on Wednesday, 26th June, inst., offering a rare chance for the re-opening of one of the best and most conveniently situated summer re- sorts on the Island.

“‘ Tur Private SEcRETARY.”—The large audience assembled in the Lyceum last evening had a hearty and almost con- tinuous laugh. In some points the farce was rather too broad. A closer ad- herence to the text of the comedy would have been more satisfactory to the better part of those who were present. Some of the puns were atrocious. But the play was, on the whole, really funny. The several parts—particularly those of “*Mr. Clutterbuck” and the ‘Rev. Robert Lambkin”—were. capitally taken. So much genuine entertainment is given by this company that a large audience may be anticipated for this evening, and also
for Monday evening.
Hope River Races.

PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY. SUMMARY OF PROCEEDINGS,
Toronto, June 21.
The Presbyterian Assembly closed its conference yesterday. Complimentary ad- dresses were drawn up to be sent to the Queen and thé Governor General.
_ The report of the committee on the sub- ject of the deceased wife’s sister matter was adopted.
Rey. Principal Grant, the Moderator, made a felicitious speech in which he said that the most important report that had come up had been that of Principal Caven, on Corporate Union. It was a significant sign, and inspired them with hope that in the near future the various churches would consent to meet on a common platform tu consider matters on which they had hither- to differed, not with a desire to magnify but to miminize the difference.
Principal Caven’s report on corporate union, in April of this year, referred to by Principal Grant, dealt with the meeting of the Presbyterian, Methodist and Anglican bodies of Toronto, and was adopted to- night, last year’s committee being ap- pointed.
The session then closed.
At the evening session, Prof. Scrimgeour of Montreal brought in the committee’s re- port on the request for assistance for Nes- bit College, Prince Albert, N. W. T., recommending $900, including $200 from French Evangelization Fund. During the discussion it came out that the Roman Catholic convents in Manitoba and the North West are the only available places where young ladies can get a refined educa- tion. This led Rev. D. J. McDonell to move for a subsidy at any cost in order to parry the Roman Catholic aggression. The discussion lasted an hour and a _ half, resulting in the adoption of the report.
Another Fire in Boston.
Boston, June 21.
The brick building, corner of Summer and Hawley Streets, is occupied on the ground floor by C. E. Browning, milliner, and on the three upstair floors by Heyer Bros., dealers in fancy goods and fireworks. Shortly after five o’clock this evening a
salesman on the second floor saw a flash among some fireworks _ be- hind the counter. The flames shot
shot up rapidly, cutting off the escape of several men in the upper storys. Five dead bodies have been taken from the ruins, and one other person received fatal injuries. It is feared more victims are among the debris. | Heyer Bros. carried a stock of $10,000; worth of fireworks, and $50,000 to $60,000 of fancy goods. A large portion of the stock was ruined. It is well insured. During the fire the dis- charge of fireworks sounded like a hard fought battle, and for nearly two hours was heard the rattle of small musketry, in- terspersed at frequent intervals with the heavier reports of Jarger pieces. No gun- powder was stored on the premises, and no smoking was allowed, so the cause of the fire was a mystery.
Ottawa News Notes. Orrawa, June 21.
Dr. Davidson, Chairman of the Citizens’ Committee of Montreal, has forwarded a protest to the Government against a refer- ence of the Jesuits Act, to the Supreme Court.
Wm. Birck, of Halifax, is here interview- ing the Government with reference to the subsidy for the proposed direct service to the West Indies.
The exports for May show an increase of $680,000 over May last year. and the im- ports over a million and a quarter in ex- cess. The duty collected shows $110,000 increase.
Schooner Disabled.
Ricursvcto, June 21.
Capt. Wm. Long, of the pilot schooner Minnie Long, fell in yesterday with the schooner Favorite, lumber laden, from Miramichi for Summerside, P. E. Island, capsized, all sails set, and abandoned. Capt. Long towed the derelict schooner within ten miles of Ricbibucto bar, when the lines parted. The wind was blowing hard at the time and Capt. Long had much difficulty in reaching port. Capt. Kennedy of the schooner A. F. J., reports the Fay rite’s crew having arrived at Campbell- ton, P. E. I.
Damage By Rain.
Truro, June 21.
Further reports show that Great Village, Port-a-Pique, Port-a-Pique Mountain, Bass River and Economy suffered greatly by the flood. There is scarcely a bridge left standing between Londonderry mines and Economy. Several houses at Bass River floated off their foundations and one was swept out into the bay. Many narrow escapes from drowning are reported. Farms and crops are badly damaged.

Mr. Brecken could not see his way clear, but to ask the Con- ference to allow him another year’s exemp- tion from his ministerial duties.
A letter was read ‘from the Rev. Mr. Steel stating that on account of a recent bereavement he wou!d be unable to attend conference this year. A resolution was passed extending the profoundest sympathy of this couference to Mr. Steel in his deep affliction, and the Secretary was in- structed to communicate the same to the absent member.
Rev. Mr. Paisley made a statement upon law matters with which he had been con- cerned in his capacity as President during the year. He had received accounts from lawyers who had been engaged to prosecute the case of Mr. D. D. Currie in .the Su- preme Court. One amounted to $190.25 and the other $150. He had pid these ac- counts.
