CHARLOTTETOWN, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, TUESDAY, JULY 8, 1879,

CANADIAN. Orrawa, July 5. Sir John Macdonald received the depu- tation from Nova Scotia at Stadacona Hall yesterday. A Cabinet Council was held at Stadacona Hall yesterday.

Right Hon. Sir John Macdonald, Hon. Messrs. Masson, J. H. Pope, J. C. Pope, M. Bowell, M. Baby, Sir A. Campbell, J. C, Aikens, and John O’Connor, are the Ministers now in the city. Hon. Jas. Me- Donald is in Halifax, and Sir 8. L. Tilley and Hen. Mr. Langevin are in England, and Sir Charles Tupper, en route. Hon. L. D. Wilmot is in New Brunswick.

News reached the city yesterday of a most lamentable accident, caused by a premature explosion of dynamite in Goss’ Phosphate mine at Kirk’s ferry, Thursday evening, resulting in the almost instant death of a laborer named P. McGovern, and the serious injury of another employee named Crouse. The men were engaged in the mine, which is thirty feet deep, in prepar- ing a blast, which exploded when the men were,only a few feet distant. A large rock, weighing about seventy-five pounds, was thrown by the explosion to the top of the mine, and, in falling, struck McGovern upon the chest, causing internal injuries which resulted in his death shortly after- wards. McGovern’s face was terribly mu- tilated, his nose and the larger portien of one side of his face being blown off. The unfortunate man made his way out of the mine and walked some distance in order to get a drink of water. He inquired after the safety of his comrade, and in a few mo- ments afterwards fell back and expired. Crouse’s injuries consisted of a fearfully bruised face, and it is thought his condition is such that he will not recover. McGov- ern was thirty years of age, and Crouse thirty-five. Both were unmarried and had resided in the neighborhood for years.

Niagara Fatts, Ont., July 5.

Twenty thousand persons visited the Falls yesterday, mostly drawn by the an- neuncement that H. J. Peer was to repeat his jump frem the Suspension Bridge into the Niagara river. He was announced to jump at 2 o'clock. Long before the ap- pointed hour, the crowd had assembled on both banks of the river, and the new sus- pension bridge was loaded with a weight of human beings waiting to see the fearful plunge. After three hours waiting Peer came on the bridge intexicated. He made his preliminary arrangements, changed his clothes, but dared not make his leap, leay- ing the crowds to go home thoroughly dis- gusted. Peer had to be smuggled away to escape being mebbed.

UNITED STATES. AvuBURN, N. Y., July 5.

About midnight Professor Colgrove, who

with Miss Allison ascended from here yes- terday afternoon, returned to the city and reported that their balloon came down in sayou. It was rentin the bay, dragged through the water over two miles in the same number of minutes, struck an old wharf and threw out both who were some- what cut and badly bruised, but not seri- ously injured, and sailed off eastward, com- ing down at Lathrop, forty miles away. Colegrove and Miss Allison stuck in the marsh, through which they waded and gained firm ground and inade the way to Allamands, and thence here.

a teen pemtinny Father Genin, a bearded priest, who has labored among the various tribes composing the great Sioux nation in the Nerth-West, is now in New York. He publishes a man- ifesto from Sitting Bull ‘to all just and sensible citizens” in vindication of the Sioux Indians. Father Genin gives the following account of the battle of the Rose- bud, at which Custer fell, as it was given to him by Sitting Bull: Sitting Bull im- agined that. the foree of which Custer’s command was part had been sent out te ex- terminate his people. For eight days he retreated before the advancing white men, and then, being wearied, he set up a mock village, left his fires lighted and arranged a number of eftigy Iudians, so as to deceive the whites. Uo then gathered his braves, and, under cover ef the hills to the south of the Rosebud, marched to intercept Cus- ter’s advance. He did not wish to fight, and so sent out a messenger with a flag of truce, who was shot down. Father Genin has with him the tomahawk with which Custer was finally despatched.

A writer in the Atlantic Monthly is satis- fied the people of this continent are physic- ally the equals of the best in Europe. He says, moreover, that they are improving in physique. He says: ‘‘During the last two decades, the well-to-do classes of America have been visibly growing stronger, fuller, healthier. We weigh more than our fathers; the women in all our great centres of population are yearly becoming move plump and beautiful, and inthe leading brain-working occupations our men also are acquiring robustness, amplitude, quan- tity of being. On all sides there isa visible reversion to the better physical ap-

pearance of. our English and German ancestors. A thousand girls and boys, a

thousand men in the prime of years, taken by accident in any of our large cities are heavier arid more substantial than were the same number of the same age and walk of life twenty-five years ago.”’

The crew selected to man the Arctic ex- ploring vessel Jeannette, which James Gor- don Bennett is to send in search ef the Nerth Pole, have been chosen with the greatest cave. The man had to be of good character, Northern born or raised, and inured to extreme cold, hardy mariners, with some experience in the North- ern seas—men of the greatest physical stamina, sound in all respects and without the slightest consumptive tendency. A decayed tooth, a cough, a rhuematic twinge, depression of the chest—in fact, the very slightest defect—were sufticient to cause a rejection by the examining surgeon. Men too solid or too lean, teo tall or too short, too yeung or too oid, all were promptly rejected. The weight desired in the men was 150 pounds. Four Esquimaux will be taken on beard at Alaska, and will make a valuable addition to the crew.

An extraordinary meteor passed over a portion of Switzerland a few days ago, and four minutes after it finally disappeared there was heard a loud report, resembling a volley of artillery. A similar explosion was also heard in the Valaisian Alps, and almost at the same time a shower of <erolites fell into Lake Lugano, causing violent vndu- lations, and nearly overturning the boats ef several fishermen who were returning to

port.

The Hartford ‘‘Times” says the tragic death of Mrs. Rolland at Niagara Falls a few days ago—an occurrence which hap- pened when that lady reached down, at the edge of one of the islands called the Three Sisters, to dip up a cup of water from the rapids, fell in, and was carried over the cataract—was all seen in a dream, even tu minute particulars, two nights before the
