A Fortune Story.—The Halifex Reports

or says: About six weeks ago, one of the | , city papers contained an advertisement, |

from a lawyer mation regarding the whereabouts of the male and female members of a family named Cody, end who were supposed to have settled in some part of the ritish American Provinees. As it happers ene of the family resides in this city: Feeling assured that sh.» was one of the persons ins quired after, she placed herself in commu- nication with the Dublin lawyer, and by the

last English raail received a letter froma |

home, containing the welcome intelligence tbat by the decease of a brother in Ireland, she was part heir to £5: ),000 sterling.

There are only three direct heirs to this |

vast fortune, the woman in question, a bro- ther who resides in Newfoundland, and another married sister who is also supposed to be living in some part of Newfoundland. The other members of the family are dead. The matter has been placed in the hands of a solicitor in this city, and such steps taken as to ensure the fortunate heir in question obtaining possession of her share of the fortune, which will be something like $80,000.

Several persons attempted to go to the office of Mr Flemming, for the valuable documents it contained, but were driven back by the fire, and had a narrow escape from serious injury.

15. Instead of ‘My Daddy’s only Son,’ Mr. McKinnon sung—what he has sung so very often—something about a ‘saddle on and was encored. I think it high time Mr. McKinnon had a new song.

The Drethern then remounted the platform, and sang the closing ode, a great deal better than ‘ Meet upon the level. The National Anthem finished the proceedings.

STABBING AFFRAY.

TWO YOUTHS QUARRBL ABOUT 4 BOTTLE OF RUM

—TuHE KNIFE YREELY USED—ONE oF THR | COMBATANTS SERIOUSLY

PROBABLE RESULT,

| <A notorious house in ‘* West Bog,’”’ of

| this city,—-known as ‘ Noonan’s —was, on | Saturday evening, the scene of a bloody ; tragedy. Thomas Noonan, son of the wo- | man who keeps the house, stabbed John | McLauchlan,—a young man of not very | exemplary habits—a frequenter of tap- rooms and street-corners—and McLauchlan } now lies at the brink of death. The affray was the result of a quarrel about a bottle of liquor. It appears, that not long since, | Noonan circulated a report among Jiis ‘pals’ to the effect that McLauchlan had stolen a bottle of rum from him. Me Lauchlan was, of course, somewhat incenss ed, and, on Saturday evening, about tea time—having first primed himself well with | slookol—he made his way to ‘Noonan’s’ and demanded an explanation. Noonan, it appears, was prepared for him—with a | hatchet in one hand—a knife (concealed) in the other. After a short altercation, the disputants commenced the fight. Noonan | Struck MecLauchlan on the left arm with the hatchet. McLauchlan retorted by a blow of his fist, and the weapon fell to the floor. Noonan thereupon resorted to his knife. He aimed a blow at McLauchlan’s | left side, and the knife, it appears, entered | between his ribs, passed close to the heart, into his left lung. It was then withdrawn and, both men having fallen to the floor, Noonan inflicted two or three cuts upon the legs of McLauchlan. This is the version given by the friends of the wounded man, Noonan declares that McLauchlan had knocked him down, and was beating him while down, when he used the knife. After the fray, Dr. Dawson was called. He examined the wounds, and had McLauchlan removed to hishome. We learn that his hopes for the recovery of his patient are very slight. Noonan is twenty-one years of age—although his appearance would ins ‘licate that he is not more than seventeen. He is a hardened young ruffian. It is said that he has several times used the knife in quarrels. He is now in custody of the police, and awaits the examination of the case.

Gounod has arranged some of the mus sic of ‘Jeanne d’Arc,” as a duett for two performers on the piano, for the Queen and her daughter.

Tobacco is probably one of the most prox fitable crops that can be cultivated. From information gathered in the Southern States, we find that in one instance three acres yielded $312.12 worth, or $104.4 per acre. In another, four acres produced $230, or $57.50 per acre. In another, nine acres produced $7(0 worth, or $175 per acre. In a fourth, one acre produced $139.50, averaging for each of the four cases $119.2, The average cost of working was $28.16; hence the net profit per acre was $90.86. Comparing this yield in money with the two principal crops of the country, corn and wheat we find: the average yield of corn, thirty bushels per acre, at 41 cents, (the average price now), equals $21.30; the average yield of wheat, the United States over, twenty-four bushels, $1.61, (average between east and west), equals $38.64. From this must be deducted the cost of production. It is unnecessary to go into other crops, as these are the more remuner- ative. Thus it will be seen that where to-~ bacco can be produced at all, it is the most paying of all crops.
