Fonp or Excrrement.—Parrsboro, N, &., is not behind Halifax in social scandal, and sen- gations of other character. A correspondent of that town writes to the Amherst Cazette:— Sensations are rife. House-breaking, assault and battery, and all sorts of things. One of our Stipendiary Magistrates has been discuss- ed freely, and a young married man comes to the front next asthe foundation of a good joke. He was paying attention to a young servant girl and represented himself as single. The girl found out he was married and one night lately met him at the door with a tub of dish water in which was dissolved a lot of dye stuff and gently poured it over him, fol- lowing up the attack with a shower of rocks she had placed at hand. He adjourned, sine die.

A Srraxoz Case or Poisontne.—The fol- lowing particulars of a curious poisoning case, which took place on the 2Ist inst., at Artha baskaville, have reached tnis city: After re- tiring for the night Mrs. Plamondon, wife of the Hon. Justice Plamondon, became suddenly ill; soon afterwards the judge was in the same condition, and he was followed by his daught- ers and son. Dr. Gravel was immediately summoned; he pronounced it poison, and gave remedies which proved efficacious, except in the case of Mrs. Plamondon, who is still low. An investigation into the tea. victuals, water, etc., of the hause revealed nc trace of poison, and the doctor was non-plussed. It was after- wards found that the mischief was caused by the hot air furnance; the reservoir of water in it used to purify the air, had become rotten and emitted a most dangerous and poisonous gas.— Montreal Gazette.

CuOKED WHIL® at DinneR.—Sunday, while at diener, Mr. James Huestin, who resided on Grafton Street, was choked to death by a piece of meat sticking in his throat, The deceased had invited a friend to dine with him, and their meal had scarcely began, when Huestis started np from the table and ran to the tap fora cup of water. His friend per- ceived at once what was wrong and tried the

usual remedies without delay. These proving fruitless he ran for a medical man, but had to go to three differ- ent offices before he found one in. Dr, Cowie

went immediately on being summoned, but when he reached the bouse the man was

most lifeless, The piece of mest was extract- ed and every effort made towards resuscita- tion but without avail, About half an hour after the accident the unfortunate man was a corpse. Huestin was an employe of Messrs. S. Cunard & Co,, holding the position at one time of freight checker. He was about fifty, years of age, and leayey a widow.—Halifae Herat.

Freicurs,—Fifty barrels of oysters, 6,000 pounds of pork and a quantity of butter from P. E. Island, were discharged at the freight depot yesterday for Dr. Frack Oulton.

Nearly every day a ship- ment of sugar from the Halifax refineries passes for the west or north. Saturday night and yesterday 1120 barrels, 14 car loads, went north.

Conner Loarinc. ~The corner loafing nuis- ance is now worse than ever, © Stationed at all the corners from the Apothecaries Hall down to the Atheneum and from Dr. Dodd’s down to the extreme end of Queen Street may be seen nightly a crowd of loafers, whose only purpose in life seems to be to insult passers by. Could not the police be induced to look after these individuals and if possible to keep them onthe move. Another rendez-vous of this class of individuals is at Dawson’s corner, where especially on Sunday nights things are kept pretty lively by their playful pranks and the somewhat coarse pature of their language.

QviTE a novel thing in the way of amusing lunatics, is tendering them a ball. Last Thursday night says the Quebec Telegraph of the 24th inst,, a ba!l was given to the inmates at the Beauport Asylum by the proprietors, a number of people from the city attended as spectators, and were very much amused, Dancing began at seven and ended at nine o'clock. The inmates were dressed in fantas- tic style, and enjoyed themselves to their heart’s content, One unfortunate lunatic com- menced to dance a solo the moment the music commenced at the opening and did not cease until the close of the ball even at intervals when the music was stopped. These balls will take place every Thursday evening during the winter.

Res. Db. W. Hixon, the new rector of Bur- ford, Ont., was educated at King’s College, Windsor, where he, says the Hants Journal, distinguished himself by taking three scholar- sbips, the Welsford, the Stevenson and the General Williams. When first ordained he was appointed to the mission at Georgetown, on this Island. Then accepting an offer from the diocese of Huron, he removed to Burford, in the neighborhood of the city of Brantfort, Ont. Onr young men at King’s College will do wel] to bear in mind the training many of their predecessors have received, first at the collegiate school, and then at the college, has enabled them not merely to attract the notice of outsiders, but to secure excellent positions in life, which enable them to extend and verify the reputation of their alma mater.

The following were the prin- cipal contents: 13 cattle, 4 horses, about 1,400 stooks @rain, 30 tons hay, mower, reaper, threshing machine, eteel rake two riding sleighes, cultivator, etc., the loss being estimated at something like $2,500.

spotted as the guilty party. — Pioneer.
