Cartes Siare, druggist, of this city, now lies in the City Hospital, suffering greatly from frozen feet and hands, the result of drinking too much liquor and sleegfing in a snow-bank all night. Slate, it appears, was released from a six months term in jail on Friday morning, and on the following day met with some kindred spirits, with whom he knocked about town. In the evening Slate and his companions Lower Spring Park toad and after remaining there some time left, Slate says, at half-past ten o'clock. Slate became separated from his com- panions, and after wandering about for some time, lay down in the snow and went to sleep, near the residence of Mr. George Liehtizer, Lower Spring Park Road. The snow was falling thick and fast at the time, and he was soon almost totally covered. About eight o’clock next morning Mr. Lightizer saw Slate’s coat tails protruding through the snow. He cleared away the snow and found the unfortunate man lying on his right side, unconscious, his face, hands and feet frostbitten. He immediate- ly had him removed to a house in the neighborhood, where he soon regained con- sciousness, and his sufferings were allevi- ated as well as possible. As his condition was looked upon as critical, the police were communicated with. Oa arrival they deemed it pxpedient that the man should be rem oh to the hospital, where his wounds could be properly attended to. Arrangements for the conveyance of the suffering man to the hospital were ma<de, and Dr. Dawson was consulted. It was ex- plained to him that Slate was an unfortn- nate young man without either money or friends and the hospital was the only place for him to go to. The Drs. r in effect chat the funds of the hospital were in a low condition and people like Slate were not wanted there. The policemen then went to the Charlottetown Hospital, whero Slate was instantly taken in charge by the good Sisters and made as comfortable as possible under the circumstances. At latest accounts he was progressing favorably,

Railway Traffic Suspended.

Sr. Joun, N. B., March 1.

The snow storm of Friday, with the lighter fails since then and heavy winds, have had the effect of almosi practically suspending railway traffic in Maine and northern New Brunswick. Since Friday no trains have reached Vanceboro over the Maine Central, and the New Brunswick tailway have a train snowed up between Tracy and Cook. Railway men describe the storm up the line as something unequalled in all their experience. Oa the Inter- colonial Railway the storm has beea very severe asfar as tho northern division is concerned. Between Halifax and all other points the trains on Saturday arrived and departed on time. The Quebec Express due here Satnrday morning is still laid up at ** Trvis Pistoles” at which place she was brought to a standstill on Friday night.

{rv is beyond all doubt that **Myrtle Navy” is the favorite tobacco with the smokers of Canada. They obtain more enjoyment from it than from any other tobacco made, and those of them who have used it long enough to testa ita merits never abandon it for any ether brand. The reason of this preference is that the ‘‘Myrtle Navy” is made of the very fizest leaf which fis grown and that in every process of its m«nufacture the most vigilant care ig exercised to preserve the genuine

aroma of the leaf.
