BEAUTIFUL PHIT) - ENAMEL he most beautiful style of Photograph known, possessing a softness and delicacy of coloring that has never been equailed. This elegant picture has become deservedly popu ar elsewhere, and cannot fail to be- come so here.

Though the finish of our Photographs cannot excelled, we would direct alter-

tion to the beautitul

Gliaece Pictures

which we make. They possess a highly enamelled surface, and are practicallyivdes- tructible, und will retain their freshoess and beauty for any length of time. If they become soiled they can easily be cleaned, as they will not lose any of their beauty by being wet. ‘This valuaole quality, com- bincd with their remarkable elegance,, make them very suitable for presents; while the difficuity of their production will prevent them ever becoming 80 common as to lessen Weir value. Our patrons cao have ove or all of their Photos finished in this style—an advantage which cannot be obtained elsewhere.

We give special attention to making Groups of Families, Societies, schools, &c

Our pictures of children are sufficient evidence of our success in this difficult branch of our art.

Our #NLARGEMENTS, finished in India Ink, Pastel, Crayou, Oil and Water Colors, bave made a tavorable reputation for them selves throughout the Lower Provinces.

Parties intending to have Photographs made will find it to their advantage to sit early, as the number of our customers makes some delay ip the delivery of the Photos unavoidable. We prefer to have our silters come by appointment.

Photographs can be obtained for less money elsewhere ; but in this case we ask that quality be given the preference; as- suring the pablic that they will flad our charges very moderate,

| Best shalt thou live, Licinius, neither tempt-

ing

| Always the deep sea, neither, whilst thou

fearest Storm-blasts of ocean, venture too near the Shore danger-haunted.

Golden is the mean, which whosoever chooseth, :

Free from coarse cares which poverty brings with it,

Lives in a home where envy never enters, Tranquil and happy.

Oft’nest the tall pine by the wind is shaken.

Greatest is the shock when fall the highest towers.

Loftiest mountains are the soonest stricken by the swift lightning.

When the world frowneth, for a better fortune Hopes the brave heart, and when the world is smiling, Thinks of the future. God gives the winter ; God gives the summer.

If the times are bad, better times are coming ; Sometimes the lyre-voice wakes the silent muses, But do not marvel, if Apollo sometimes Rest from his labor.

Bravely and firmly cope with adverse fortune, But with wise foresight furl the swelling canvass, Lest, filled with pride it urges thee into folly— Folly and ruin. JoHN READE.

Soeaieree ce ee a Fatal Accident.

TWO WOMEN FOUND DROWNED IN STEEL’S POND,

[From the Halifax Reporter, Jan. 8.]

Early yesterday morning, John Thomas, em- ployed in the Gas Works, while on his rounds in extinguishing the lights, found a horse and sleigh on Inglis street. ‘he animal was wet and cut, and showed indications of having been in the water. The sleigh bore marks of having been roughly used, its sides were scratched, &c. The man took the team toe the gas works and afterwards to the Police Station, where it was ascertained that it belonged to Mr. Ed- ward Fenton, jr., who keeps livery and feed stables on Gerrish street. On further inquiry the following particulars were elicted : Shortly before ten o'clock on Saturday night, John Wilson, who drives for Mr. Fenton, was on the cab'stand at the corner of Granville and Buckingham streets, when two young girls named Flora McDonald and ida Boutalier, came up. They accepted Wilson’s invitation to take adrive and the team started south along Pleasant Street. Nothing further was heard of them until the horse and sleigh was discov- ered, ag related. From thence,until some time in tha forenoon, nothing was discovered, when Sergt. Nickerson found a horse rug on the edge of Steele’s Pond, and shortly afterwards a whip was found in the same locality, all of which proved to be articles belonging to Mr. Fenton, and had been in the use of the miss- ing man. This clue was followed up, and it was noticed that the ice on the pond had re- cently been broken, and here the bodies of the two girls could be seen through the ice. Genp- nels and other appliances were immediate 7 procured, and the two bodies were recovered. The mother of Ilda Boutillier was on the spot, and at once identified the corpse of her child. Both bodies were removed to the Morgue, and, the grapnelling was continued. in the hope o securing the body of Wilson. Night coming on, however, it had to be abandoned ; but the search has been continued to-day, as well in the pond as through the Tower Wood, where there is a probability he may have been drawn by the horse, in his endeavors to stop the ani- mal after the sleigh had been upset. In that case he may have perished from exhaustion and cold.

Of course all is mystery as to how the acci- dent occurred. But the most plausible theo in connection with the sad affair is that Wil- son, in attempting to drive round the Point by way of the lower road, on coming in the vicin- ity of Steele’s Pond, found the road broken up by the late storm, and impassable. For the

urpose of gaining the Park road, he may om taken to the ice on Steele’s Pond, when the sleigh has gone through, and the girls been thrown out. The pond is deepest just where the accident occurred, and no person being near, the cries of the girls in their struggles would pass unheeded, Wilson, it is supposed, was dragged some distance away by the reins, consequently the body was not with the others. The horse swam and struggled till it reached the Park shore of the pond, whence it made its way up the road through the woods to Tower Road and thence to Inglis street, where it was found.

Wilson was a young unmarried man and lived with Mr. Fenton. The two girls worked in the Maitland Street tobaceo factory. Bou tillier lived with her parents in "Maitland Street, and McDonald, whose father is a shoe- maker, lived in Upper Water Street.

One singular fact connected with the sad affair is that the badge, with the cab’s num- ber, which was worn by Wilson on his coat, _ found on the ice some distance from the

ole.

An inquest was begun this morning by Coroner Farrell and adlourned until Wednes-

day. LATER,

All sorts of rumors were flying around town to-day as tothe whereabouts of Wilson, and meanwhile parties at the pond centinued to grapple for the body, but in vain. One of the rumors was that Wilson was seen at Herring Cove, and thither had Detective Hutt hasten- ei. Uptothe hour of going to press, how- ever, no tidings of him been found.

Reported Murders.

We take the following from the New- foamdiane correspondence of the Montreal tazette :—

Tue West Coast Murpens.—The three brothers Benoit, accused of the murder of Captain Ridout and his crew, have been dis- charged, there being no evidence sufficient to case before a jury. Though suspicions were strong enough against the men to warrant their arrest and detention, pending investiga- tion, yet nothing of a ible nature was elicited, although the Inspector of Police and some of his force spent some time on the western coast in making inquiries and hunting up evidence. In fact no could be ob- tained that a murder had committed at all—no remains were discovered, and no that the missing men met with foul play. Rumor has had much to doJ with the matter. Under such circumstances there was no other course than the discharge of the prisoners. Another story is afloat of a murder on Labra- dor of part of the crew of the Walrus, whiek left Rigoulette for Montreal, October 15th, 1876, and was wrecked near Grady, Andrew Corneaux being the only survivor. A story appears in the Harbor Grace Standard, founded on certain rumors, in which the writer attempts to show that the men represented by Corneaux to have been drowned by the upsetting of a boat, were murdered, Mr. Knight, Co r of Customs, Labrador, has published a letter in which he shows that the tale is utterly in- credible and unworthy of attention. There is amorbid tendency in certain classes of our population, in these distant and lonely settle- ments, to work up tales ef murder wreck- ing. All such stories, after the Ridout case, should be received with caution.

Among the speculations rife down town men in London, arising out of war, is one favorable to the purchase of Syria and Palestine from the Turks by the Jews, and the establishment of a Jewish Ki or - lic under the guarantee of and France, It is said there would be no trouble in raisi the cash—-a small amount of which wo suffice, and Turkish bonds would be plen-

tifully forthcoming, many of which are now held by Jews in England and France,

for the balance. A co dent of the New York ‘* Times” sa it ws seriously entertained by rich Hebrews in London, and

that several rich and eminent Christians are

very favorable to it. The restoration of the

Kingdom of the Jews has always been a mag- nificent dream of many i It = thought that the carrying out of such a scheme

as this would check Russian progress:
