Tae Birps ForteLtineg tHe Futurs.—A travelling seer tells the fortunes of young and old by the aid of birds,—too wise to err, too innocent to lie, On payment of five cents to the master one of his birds se- jects an envelope in which the seeker for truth is assured that he will find ‘a planet of the history of his past and present.’ Some of the fortunes thus secured have been marvellously appropriate. That of an active M. P. P. contained an assurance that he would soon walk over to Marsh

Bridge to the vacant seat in the Govern~ ment. —- - bee -—

Pust'c Meemxe at Brrne’s Roav.—On the 20th ult., a public meeting was held by the inbabitants of the above named place, for the purpose of giving express sion relative to the ‘ Assessment Act, 1877."’ The meeting was addressed by by Hon, Simon Bolger and several gentile.

men of the district, and the following resolutions were unanimously passed :—

Whereas, our Legislature, during the lale session, passed an Assessment Act which imposes heavy taxation without any appeal to the people, which Assessment seems to bear heavily on the farmers of this Prov ince.

And Whereas, the Act involves in its working a namerous horde of officials, who will swallow up a great proportion of the amount raised, without rendering any eqvi- valent to the welfare of this Province.

Therefore, Resolved, as the opinion of this meeting, that the present Administration have forfeited the confidence of the major- ity of the electors of this Province, and should therefore place their resignations in the hands of His Honor the Lieutenant Governor, 80 that it may be submitted to the people at the polls.

ExrraonDINARY SUccEssiON OF ACCIDENTS Oa Saturday night, eee and twelve o’clock, Mr. Oliver Wood, driving towards Baie Verte, reached the hill near Mr. Nelson Beckwith’s, when he observed two teams racing along towards him Mr. Wood, not having time to get out of the road entirely, kept in the middle of it,

hoping they would pass bv or aither side One of the co~toges, driven by Willard

Oulton, struck Mr. Wood's violently, throwing Oulton to the ground, whose horse dashed off. This horse with a part of the carriage flying at his heels, met Mrs. Hiram Oulton, driving, and a second col- lision took place. Mrs. Oulton’s horse ran away, pitching her out into the road A few steps in the rear of Mrs. Oulton was her husband riding along on horseback &ta brisk gallop. The latter horse, brough to a sudden standstill by the commotion &head, threw Mr. Oulton over his head into the mad. When Mr. Willard Oulton was picked up, his forearm and coat were mis« ang, and were found a quarter of a mile off. It appears that the rein had been Wrapped around his arm, and the shock of the collision snapped thé arm off at the elbow. The total results of this series of accidents were three runaway horses and three carriages more or less demolished. It perbaps ought to be mentioned that Mr. Oulton’s accident was not irreparable as his arm was made of cork,— Past,

Bopy WasHED ASHORE.—A MyYsTERY.— The body of a young woman, apparently about 18 years of age, was washed ashore on Bell’s Point, near «'ape Traverse, on Thursday afternoon. She had light halr, small hands and feet, and every appearance of being alady. The body was scantily dressed—a chemise, one skirt, and ose jacket, with a belt around her waist. There was & mark or dent over one of her eyes, as if it had been done with a hammer. It is supposed by appearances not to have been lorg in the water. A coroner’s inquest was held on Saturday. The whole affair is thus far a mystery which calls for thorough in- vestigation. A despatch to the Moncton Times, from Cape Traverse, says: ‘“ The body is that of a young woman; picked up in tide wash on the 12th. Could have been no time in the water, as it was not decom- posed or eaten by fish. No marks of vio- lence on the body. The Coroner's Jury re- turned a verdict of ‘found drowned.” The body was not identified.”

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.—On Friday last Richard McDougall, of Richibucto, and Henry McCafferty, son of Mr. Thomas Mc- Cafferty, who lives near Dickens’, on the Richibucto Road, were engaged at Graham's Mill, Bay due Vin, wheeling the edging car from the mill along the truck to the dump, where the edgings are burned. As they reached the end of the track, McCafferty passed along to the side of the car next to the fire. McDougall did not observe this, and he tipped the top of the car, throwing the edgings down into the fire, and Mc- Cafferty with them. The poor fellow fel upon his side in live coals, with a quantity of the edgings upon him. McDougall, jumped down and made every endeavor to extricate him, a work in which he was soon assisted by other men from the mill. Ina short time McCafferty was taken out, but his hands, feet and side were so badly burned that the flesh came off, in some cases bringing the nails with it. McDoug- all’s hands were also burned in his efforts to rescue his companion.—Miramichi Ad- vance.

— ent FREE TRADERS AT SARATOGA.

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY THE FREE TrapE CONVENTIONS—RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA.

SaraToGa, N. Y., Sept. 7.—The Confer- ence of Free Traders met at noon—Nathan Appleton, of Boston, Chairman. The Com- mittee on Resolutions reported the foliow-

ng:

3 Resolved, That the present depression of the industrial. commercial, and financial interests of the country is largely due to our inability, under the present laws, to dispose of the surplus products of our in- dustries and products which other coun- tries require, and which, but for restriction and injurious legislation, the United States would to a great extent produce and sel! better and cheaper than any other nation.

* Resolved, That we ask a thorough revi- sion of the commercial treaties with for- eign nations; also, the negotiation of treaties of commerce with countries such as Canada and Spain.”

The two last resolutions favor Canadian reciprocity, the organization of local free trade bodies, and a council of thirteen to call a National Convéati ag,

Parke Godwin, in sevonding the resolu- tions, said years ago when a young man Le aided in raising the banner of tree soil, free men, and free trade. We had altained two of them, and now hoped to have the third.

David A, Wells supported the resoln- tions, and said if the laws he could indicate were repealed he would pledge his head that in four years the prosperity of the country would be assured.

The resolutions were passed.

The Social Science Association met to- day. Horace White read @ paper on the tariff question, strongly favoring free trade. J. 8. Moore, of New York, followed with a

Monrreat, Sept. 14.—The Provincial Synod of the Church of Engiand met on Wednesday at 10 a.m.. ‘The members at tended divine service in Christ Church Cathedral. ‘Ihere was a Choral Litany, a sermon by the Lord Bishop of Fredericton, and Holy Communion. The Bishop's ser- mon was & masterly production in which he boldly and forcibly advocated toleration of all parties in the Church. He exhorted the members of the Synod to unity.

The Synod met for organization at 2.30, when the Ven. Archdeacon Whittaker, Provost of Trinity College, Toronto, was elected Prolocutor, and Rev. G. Hamilton re-elected Clerical Secretary, and Dr. Nel- son, Of Montreal, Lay Secretary. The usual routine was then proceeded with,

The reports. of the various committees were read, including that from the delega. tion to the last General Convention of the Church in the United States.

This canon will sat- isfy all parties with some small verbal alter. ations,

WAR HORKORS,

A correspondent of the Daity News des» cribes Biela, sometime headquarters of the Russian army in Bulgaria, as a sink of un- utterable abominations. There is not a drain in the place; dirt lies where it falls, till the heat exhausts its noxious exhala. tions, and then it crumbles into dust—a dust made up of a thousand abominations, animal and vegetable, which fills ,throat, eyes, ears, clothes, clogs in the hair, makes clammy the hands with its nastiness, and makes & man loathe life and himself. The members of the Imperial suite were quar- tered all over the town; some in the cabins of the Bulgarians— most, however, in the abandoned Turkish houses. ‘The floors were of mud, or rather dust; there was no glass in the windows, and there was not a scrap of furniture of any kind. Poor Prince Galitzin lay on his little camps=bed, racked with the pain of acute fever, wore almost to a skeleton, scarce able to articus late from weakness, He, like three more of the generals, his brother adjutants to the Emperor, were poisoned by the mala- tia of Bela. Tbe Emperor himself looked’ pale and wan, although the Romanoffs are & healthy and stalwart race. General Ignatieff’s voice was feeble and slow, the glow of color had left his cheeks, his eye was heavy and dim, his hand burned with fever not yet exorcised. For threo days and nights he had suffered terribly with what from his description appeared to have been acute gastric fever.

The Apostie of the Mormon Church, joined by B. W. Young and Daniel H. Wells, late counsellors of Brigham Young, publish a circular at Salt Lake City saying that on September the 4th they held a meeting, waited upon the Lord, who blessed them, and who revealed to them the steps they should take. John T'aylor, the senior Apostle, acting President of the Twelve, was unanimously sustained in that position, This plan was pursued at the time of the death of Joseph Smith, and was so ordered by Smith and sustained by Brigham. To facilitate the transaction of business, it was ordered that President John Taylor be assisted by John W. Young, Daniel H. Wells and George F. Cannon, The circular claims that the last days are athand, All the saints are exhorted to be — in building temples and paying tithes.

The valiant Britishers who blockaded the coast of Dahomey have achieved their ob- ject. The London Gazette announced last week a treaty with the king ofthat dis- trict, whereby the British residents shall have ‘‘ full liberty of commerce and resi- dence.”’ At least this is the British way of expressing the matter; whether the privis lege in question is in reality to be simply one of plunder remains to be seen. It is interesting to know. by the way, that the King of Dahomey signs his name witha mark,
