A Sveerstiox.—A correspondent of the Quebec Chronicle suggests a way out of the Salvation Army parade difficulty. He says that the Corporation ought to tax all proces- sions at say $5 or $10 every time a parade or walk out is made in the streets. The sum would about pay the cost of necessary police protection. By treating all alike, no one par- ticular class, religious or secular, could com- plain.

A Sap Acerpent,—A very sad accident happened this morning whereby Mrs. Leahy, mother of Mr. John Leahy of Tae Examiner office,was probably fatally injured. It appears that when Mrs. Leahy, who is very aged and feeble, arose inthe morning, she went to the stove in her bedroom and stood with her back thereto. When in this position her night iress took fire, aud the unfortunate woman, before any assistance could arrive, was badly burned. A doctor was hastily summoned who did all in his power to allay her suffering. Owing to the unfortunate lady's great age she is in » state of extreme collapse, and but little hope is entertained for her recovery.

A UNITED WAR FEARED.
Frontier Forces Increased.
Vienna, Dec. 7 ]] The Emperor Joseph will preside at a military council at the palace to-morrow to consider steps necessary in view of the collection of Russian troops on the frontier, It is reperted that all Russian troops whose time expired in the autumn have been retained, and that a quarcter“of a million recruiis have been enrolled in the army which form « military line from Lublan to Zamose, ard that’ a strong body of cavalry have been ‘Stationed between Rovna and{Kovel. All the places named are near the Austrian frontier. Parts, Dee. 7. According tu private advices from War- saw, the massing of Russian troops on thre frontier is attributable to information received by Russia of a concerted plan by Germany and Austria for united action in a war between either of these powers and Russia. In that contingency it would be proposed that Germany and Russia should suddenly invade Russia and Poland, and occupy Warsaw by using their great facilities for mobillzing. In conseqnence of the discovery of the alleged project, Russia resolved to compensate for her slow power of mobilizing by a permanent in- crease of the frontier forces. This move- ment implies no aggression but defensive precaution,
