1 - | WE regret to learn that Capt. Hobbs, of | the steam tug Frank C. Batt, met with a! serious accident yesterday afternoon. While | getting ready to tow the brigantine Zara, one of the sailors on the latter vessel threw a tow line to Capt Hobbs. He did not | notice the line coming until a large pair of hooks on the end had struck him on the head knocking him off his feet. The force of the blow injured his head so much that the services of a physician were necessary, and the unfortunate man is now confined to his residence.

A pespatcH from Yarmouth says that an American schooner procured thirty barrels of bait at the fish traps off that place on Monday morning and proceeded to sea. The bait had been previously sold to a Yarmouth vessel, but the American obtained it at a higher price, much to the disgust of the Canadian fisher- men. <A few days ago the Gloucester schooner Sylvester called at the traps, said she be- longed to Shelburne, and got a supply of bait. She then anchored near the lighthouse and subsequently the Lansdowne with the cruiser Terror in tow passed quite close to her. A

few hours later she proces ded to sea.

The merchant does not require to keep a large | stock on hand swelling its price with interest, | for the factory is an immediate source of sup- ply to him atthe cost of a postal card, or most a telegram. He loses nothing, therefore, trom being overstocked. The article is

THe annual meeting of the officers of the 82nd Battalion was held in the Mayor’s office last evening. Owing to the illness of Lieut. - Col. Beer, Major Dogherty presided. There was a large attendance, the country districts being particularly well represented. The Secretary-Treasurer of the Band and Regi- mental Committees—Capt. D. Stewart—sub- mitted his report for the past year. The report shows a balance in favor of the Band Committee of $111.88, and in favor of the Regimental Committee of $150. The follow- ing officers were then elected as Committees for the ensuing year :

Band Committee—Surgeon Warburton, President ; Capt. G. Davison and Capt. D, Stewart.

Regimental Committee—Major F. Dogherty, President ; Capt. T. S. Macleod, No. 4 Co., and Capt. D. Stewart, No. 3 Co.

Capt. Stewart was re-elected Secretary of both Committees.

Considerable business of importance to the Battalion was also transacted, and a determi- nation expressed to place the Battalion on a better basis than ever.
