Arrit Foou’s Day.—Yesterday — at a very early hour, a lady rapped at the door of a certain boarding house on Dorchester Street, and sent up word to one of the board- ers—a dry goods salesman—that she wanted to make some very necessary purchases at his store. The young man said he would be down as soon as possible, and the lady said she would wait for him atthe store door. The youag man slid into his clothes as quickly as possilde and started for the store, but not a trace of the young lady could he see there. After waiting some time the truth finally dawned vpon him—it was April Fool's Day. A well-known professional man was yesterday sent a bottle of what purported to be three- star brandy, but which, on sampling, h¢e found to be nothing but water colored with tex.

Orrawa, April 1.

Official intimation has been received that a communication has been addressed to |the British plenipotentiaries at the recent | Fisheries couference expressing the Queen's approval, and that of the British Govern- ment, of the manner in which they con- ducted the negotiations for the settlement jot the diftticulty of the Atlantic coast ,of North America. In transmitting the intimation the Colonial Oftice added the special acknowledgment of Her Majesty’s Government of the ability and knowledge which Sir Charles Tupper brought to bear on the discussion of the question. This acknowledgment is thus publicly made at the desire of the Foreign Oftice.

Lord Salisbury’s official communication, referred to above, says: ‘‘It affords me great satisfaction to inform you that I have received Her Majesty’s commands to con- vey to you her entire approval of the manner in which you have conducted the commission entrusted to Her Majesty's plenipotentiaries I desire to place on re- cord on the part of Her Majesty's Govern- ment, the recognition of ability and tact displayed by you in your discussion with the plenipotentiaries of the United States, which have so largely contributed bo the result which has been accomplished. Her Majesty's Govern- ment earnestly trust that the solu- tion of this question will strengthen those amicable relations which it is their sincere desire to see cultivated between the gov- ernments and people of the two great English-speaking nations of the European and American continents.”

A General Strike.

Cuicaco, April 1.

Judging from appearance and from the talk of railroad men, Wednesday will see the commencement of a general strike.

A Black Hercules. GEORGE GODFREY CHALLENGES THE WORLD, NoT EXCEPTING SULLIVAN.

George Godfrey, the colored heavy-weight champion, called at the Herald office yester- day afternoon, his face all wreathed in smiles, to communicate the intelligence that he had found an admirer who was prepared to back him to the extent of $!500 fora fight with any man in the world. Godfrey was mightily pleased at the prospect thus opened up for him. In brief, Godfrey's conversation was as follow: ‘Iam glad that 1 am now in a posi- tion to defy some of those fellows who have been making themselves famous through the newspapers for the last few years. I think my money isas good asthe money of any other man, and I feel sure that if any one makes a bluff that he doesn’t want to fight me now solely because of my color, it won't go withthe public. My challenge is open to any man in the business, and I consider $1500 a side a big enough stake for anybody to fight for. Idon’t bar Sullivan, Kilrain nor any other big fellow. I would be tickled if I could get on a fight with John L, Sullivan. There’s a man whom I don't dread at all, and if I ever’ meet him in the ring I would be confident of whipping him. I don't see what he ever did anyway to warrant making all the hullabaloo about him that has been made. Jake Kilrain’s a good one, of course, but he hasn’t done “anything that makes him look very bigin my eyes. he talk a little while ago about putting me against Dempsey, and a purse of $1000 was

held off for $1600. Well wow’s his chance, —Béston Hérald, Moreh ¥7.

Supreme Court. BEFORE JUDGE PETERS.

APRIL 2.

Weatherbie vs, Nicholson.—In this case, which was an appeal tried before Judge Peters at Georgetown, and judgment re served, His Lordship to-day delivered his decision, allowing the appeal and quashing the conviction with costs. The facts were that the appellant sold beer, for which sale two magistrate’s convicted him for a breach of the Scott Act. The defendant appealed and on the appeal it was contended that the beer sold was not intoxicating, within the meaning of the Canada Temperance Act.

His Lordship, in delivering judgment to- day, said that it was open to very grave doubt whether or not the Act was not wholly void for not detining what percent- age of alcohol must be in liquor before it came within the meaning of the Act ; but that was unnecessary to decide, as he was of opinion that neither ale, beer or light wines were intoxicating within the meaning of the Act ; and on that ground the con- viction must be quashed. His Lordship stated further that there was a very great distinction betweeen ‘intoxicating liquor” and *‘ exhilirating fluids,” and Bass ale or light wines came under the latter head and their sale was not # breach of the Act.

In the matter of the application of John Hughes for certiorari to remove a convic- tion made under the Canada Temperance Act by R. R. Fitzgerald, Esq., Stipendiary Magistrate—This matter was argued dur- ing the earlier part of the present Hilary Term, when the Court took time. To-day judgment was delivered, confirming the conviction of the Court below with costs. The Chief Justice and Mr. Justice Hensley being of opinion that the lease executed by the applicant to his son was a mere con- trivance to evade the provisions of the Canada Temparance Act, and was conse- quent’y void. Judge Peters was of opinion that the evidence was not sufficient to de- clare the lease void.

In the matter of the application of Philip Curley for certiorari to remove conviction made under the Canada Temperance Act by R. R. Fitzgerald, Esq., Stipendiary Magis- trate.—Court delivered judgment in this matter, confirming the conviction of the Court below. The grounds in this case were somewhat similar to those of the pre- ceding one.

The Court of Appeal in Equity opens this afternoon for the hearing of the appeal from the judgment of the Vice Chancellor in the case of the Halifax Banking Com-

pany. Stipendiary Magistrate’s Court.

Francis McLeod, drunk and disarderly, $30 or 30 days.

William McCarey, drunk and disorderly, $30 or 30 days.

Daniel Madden, drunk and disorderiy, $30 or 30 days.

Hugh Trainor, drunk and disorderly, $4 or 20 days.

Michael McAdam, drunk and incapable, $2 or 8 days.

Ww. Ganlinas. drunk and incapable, $1 or 4 days.

William Thiswold vs. Francis McLeod, abusive laaguage, $1 or 4 days.

The Magistrate remarked at the conclu- sion of the proceedings that he did not understand why more arrests were not effected, as constant complaints were being made about drnnkenness and disorderly conduct on the streets, and yet but few offenders were brought before him. He gave them instructions to make a clean sweep of the whole lot.

DasTaRDLY.—About eight o’clock on Satur- day evening, while the police were arresting a man named McCarey, one of the roughs who followed the crowd threw a stone at City Marshal Passmore, which missed him and struck a sail-maker named Worth in the head injuring him severely. A short time previous another rough threw an iron bolt at Officer Bradley, which fortunately missed its mark.
