Execution of Kemmiler.
Auburn, Aug. 6.
Kemmler was executed by electricity at 6.48 this morning. Kemmler’s nerve was something wonderful. He never faltered. He directed the adjustment of himself in the chair and counselied not to hurry, and to be sure everything was all right. The shock was given at 6.48.30, and was con- tinued 14 seconds. Two minutes after the current was cut off there was evidence of respiration. The current was returned, then cut off and again respiration was evi- dent. After a few moments saliva came from the mouth, the chest heaved and there was a wheezing in thethroat. The shock was
again put to the prisoner who, the Doctors remarked, was uncon- scious from the moment of the first shock. After a short time smoke appeared at the back—the flesh was burning. The spectacle was most trying. The doctors said he suffered no pain, however. After
the third contact of four minutes Kemmler was declared dead. When the mask was taken off Kemmler’s face his eyes vcre found half open, and his expression, while not natural, was placid and not of a ghastly appearance. : Avsurn, N. Y., Aug. ©. In the autophy on Kemmlers body, the physicians found evidence to the effect of the current on'tne formation of the skull, the blood and brain tissue, which satisfied them that paralysis of the brain was im- mediate, and all sensation was instantly destroyed.
The Popes’ Health.
——.
Rome, July 5.
In order to officially contradict the rumors of his ill health. the Pope to-day celebrated high Mass in the Pauline chapel. It was made the occasion of a great state ceremony. His Holiness has expressed himself as extremely grieved at the anti christian policy of the Italian government, which is suppressing all re- ligious guilds and seizing their property. This will necessitate the closing in Rome of no fewer than 28 churches, several of which will speedily be turned into cafes and theatres, while others will be razed to the ground. The church of Pieta which for centuries has belonged to one of the guilds, has been sold to a German brewing company, and will henceforth be turned into a large beer saloon. Another large church, associated with the memories of Michael Angelo, will be converted into a theatre and dancing hall.
Ottawa Notes.
Orrawa, Aug. 6.
The Minister of Marine has instructed all Canadian Surveyors of Shipping to register new vessels according to the pro- visions of the Merchants Shipping Act passed by the Imperial Parliament last year.

The Ontario millers have promised to send a representative exhibit of flour to Jamaica, and Prof. Robertson will prepare an exhibit of Canadian cheese.
The Postmaster-General declines to obey the order of Judge Charland, of Quebec, to deliver the letters of an absconding bank- rupt to his assignee, and proceedings will be taken in the Supreme Court to set aside the order
The statement that parliament will be dissolved this fall is utterly foundation- less.

A Gloucester despatch of the Sth says ; A letter received here to-day by Roderick McDonald, the shipping agent, from one of the crew of the schooner David Sherman, of this port, dated Souris, P. E. 1, July 31, states that a cruise had been made all ths way from Canso to Margaree, thence across to the Magdalen Islands, and from there to Bradley Bank, across to Point Miscou, down the New Brunswick shore to Shediac, thence across to West Cape, down the Island to East Point, and across with- out seeing one school or catching a single mackerel on the hook, although they tried with hook and line all the way along. The whole fleet make a like report.
The schooner Fredonia, Cant. Solomon Jacobs, was spoken July 29 and told a sim-
ilar story. The boat fishermen were catch- ing a few fish on the hook inshore around the Island, and the netters were doing fair- ly well. The mackerel are the largest caught for a number of years.
A postscript, added July 31, states that a fleet of forty sail were off East Point in the morning, and caught from five to fifteen barrels on a Pn the afternoon it

le A Railway Improvements.
Six, —Now that we are honored with the agg 0 of the Premier of Canada, the
t. Hon. Sir John A. Macdonald, who also holds the portfolio of Minister of Railways and Canals, would it not be well to call his attention to the evident need of a new Railway Depot more in harmony with the character of the capital city of this Province of the Dominion. The present patched up building is altogether behind the age. By the way, what is the Charlottetown Board of Trade doing in the matter of railway ex- tension along the wharves ?

I fain would live the Christ-life and be taught, Of Him alone who lived the perfect life,
But was Hefnot reviled and spat upon,
And as the Friend of sinners rudely scorned ; So we who fain would follow in His steps, Must look for scorn, reproaches and neglect, Must cerry with our Lord the cross of pain.
