In consequence of Wednesday being calm, the tta, which took place in George- town Harbor, was not as successful as it otherwise would have been. Some very lively rowing was witnessed, and a pleasant time was spent by those who were present.

Tue arrival of potatoes by vehicle from the country districts was very large to-day. Not less than 2000 bushels could have been weighed at the City Scales alon>. One of the chief buyers give us the following prices :-— Roses, 40 cents per bushel; Whites, 35 cts., and Blues 32 cents.

We have been creditably infcrned that on Wednesday last a large quantity of ripe raspberries were picked from bushes on the farm of Mrs. Lewis, of Point Pleasant, Royalty West. The raspberries were the second growth of the season, and are quite a phenomenon,

Ox Monday evening, at Bridgetown, a mulatto girl, about 17 years of age, called Ann Thompson, was so dreadfully burned by her clothes taking fire while in a fit-of epiplepsy—to which she was subject—that she died in a few hours. She was alone in the house at the time.— Hx. Chronicle.

Saipments of potatoes to the United States have now fairly commenced. The first cargo shipped the present season was that of 2802 bushels, which was shipped at Crapaud for Boston, on the 15th inst., by Mr. John Hughes, of this city. The next was one of 2240 bushels, shipped by Mc- Donald Bros., of Georgetown; and to-day Messrs. Carvell Bros. have cleared a cargo of 2400 bushels, for the same place.

Funny Grits.—The Patriot republishes the speech of Mr. Horton, M. P. for Cen- tre Huron,who has so disinterestedly (?) made way for ‘‘mixer and muddler’ Cart- wright. Among other extravagant things Mr. Herton says: “He did not believe that the party which has recently obtained power can retain it more than one session, if so long.” We are afraid Mr. Pattulo, as a prophet, is at a discount.

Lord Beaconsfield.

An English correspondent writes: ‘I have it from an almost infallible source that Lord Beaconsfield is in a bad condition of health. He is said to be debilitated and in need of complete rest. My authority is so absolutely correet and cautious that I am disposed to think the case is worse than as

represented; and that the strain and excite- ment of the past two years have tended to weaken a constitution which must necessar- ily be effected by age and by the loss of tissue consequent on an active and vigorous brain. His Lordship will either have to resign the helm to Lord Salisbury or must expect to suffer the worst of penalties to an active man, declining years darkened by an enfeebled body. It is thought that per- haps he will remain out the full term of this Parliament, and retire, whatever the issue, at the next general election. My impression is that the Premier will take the opinion of the country at no distant date; and that is more likely if, as it is said, there be dissensions within the Cabinet on the policy of the Government in India and Afghanistan.”

THERE was a very full market to-day. Saleables were almost in excess of demand.

The People Want Proof.

There is no medicine prescribed by physi- cians, or sold by Druggists, that carries such evidence of its success and superior virtues as Boscuer’s CERMAN Syrup for severe Coughs, Colds settled on the breast, Consumption, or any disease of the Throat and Lungs. A proof of that fact is that any person afflicted, can get a Sample Bottle for 10 cents and try its superior efiect before buying the regular size at 75 cents. It has lately been introduced in this country from Germany, and its wonderful cures are astonishing everyone that use it. Three doses will relieve any case. Try it. Sold by all Duggists on the Western Continent.

made complaint at the Police Court ag vinst | one James Goodman, who, he asserts, ‘‘as- saulted him while walking with a young lady on the public streets.” Gpodman, it | appeared, dealt Coyle a heavy blow, and he fellto the ground. The former then fell upon him, and, taking Coyle’s nose between his teeth, almost severed a large portion of it from his face. A warrant was issued for Goodman’s arrest. He will, no doubt, pay for practising cannibalism.

A young man named Frederick Music met with a very painful and serious acci- dent while working in Mr. Lea’s Factory to-day. At noon, shortly after the circular saw—which he was attending -started, his coat sleeve became caught by the teeth of the saw, and before he could discern what was the matter, the saw passed irto his arm, cutting itin an upward direction to the elbow, inflicting a terrible gash, and almost severing itin two. He was immediately taken to a surgeon, who did all in his power to relieve the pain of the young man,
