arish priest of St. Francis Xavier au Bassin. Father Theriault was about twenty-seven years of age. He made his classical studies at St. Ann's College, P .Q., and afterwards entered the Graud Seminary, Quebec, where he completed his theological studies in_ 1885. He was ordained priest by Bishop McIntyre on the 31st May of the same year, in St. Magdalen’s Church, House Harbor, and was immediately appointed to the parish of St. Francis Xavier. During his short charge of this parish he endeared himself to his peaple by his zeal in promoting their welfare, both spiritual and temporal. By his death the Bishop has lost a faithful priest and the people a good and zealous pastor.

Mysterious DisaPreEaARANCE.—The Sussex correspondent of the St. John Telegraph says : ‘‘ 4 curious case of the disappearance of a horse occurred here on Saturday morning Last. Mr. Rankine, who represents the Messrs. Brayley, had george avery valu- able horse in Montreal, which arrived here by the early freight train on Saturday morning about 2 o'clock. The horse was taken from the train by Conductor Campbell and his brakemen who had charge of the train, and tied in a shed in the freight house for a few moments while the night operator in charge was sent across the street to the Depot House to awaken Mr. Rankine. On the re- tarn of the night operator to the shed, which was in about ten minutes, the horse had mysteriously disappeared and has not since been found, nor can any trace of the animal be learned, although the roads leading in every direction for twenty miles have been searched.”

(The Mr. Rankine above referred to is well kuown throughout the Island.)

NEWS FROM TORONTO.

Immigrauts—Cooly Received.

Toronto, May 10.

A mass meeting of bricklayers and stone masons was held last evening to protest against the importing of immigrants by the master builders. Four hundred immigrants have just been landed by the railway com- panies, and these have mostly been assisted and come through advertisements in British papers. All the laboring bodies are up in arms against the new comers.

The result of examinations in the On- tario College of Physicians and Surgeons has been made known. Out of 175 who went for the final, only 105 passed ; of 220 for the primary, only 130 passed. In the final are seven ladies ; in the primary, six.

sovernor-General and Lady Lansdowne held a reception at Government House be- tween 4 and 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when fully six hundred called to bid them farewell.

Last night Governor Campbell entertain- ed a large company at dinner to meet their Excellencies who left to-day.

C. Deliea and Frank Parma quarrelled over a woman ina ‘‘dive” to-night, the former stabbing the latter in the abdomen with a butcher knife, inflicting a fatal wound. Deliea escaped.

Ottawa News.

Orrawa, May 10.

This being Ascension Day, Parliament did not sit. It will sit on Saturday, how- ever, and every day of next week. The Toronto Empire intimates that in filling the vacancy in the Supreme Court Bench caused by the death of Judge Henry, the Government will select the best man avail- able, irrespective of which part of the Do- minion he may be found in. The idea that the new appointment must necessarily be made from Nova Scotia is erroneous. Robert Evans, a local man, was nominat- ed to-day by the Liberal Conservatives in Cardwell.

The Emperor Better.

Lonpon, May 10. The Lancet says the Emperor of Ger- many is slowly gaining strength. The recent sudden increased flow of pus was not accompanied by fever and the discharge of pus is new decreasing. Berry, May 10.

The Emperor passed a satisfactory night and is in good spirits. He ate his meals with appetite, and from 1 a. m. till 3.30 this even- ing remained in his study reclining on a sofa.

Troubled Ireland.

Dustin, May 10.

Exciting struggles occurred at Carmack, near Thurles, to-day, hetween a strong force of emergency policemen and tenants whom they sought to evict. The police used a battering ram. They met with strong resistance, the tenants throwing boiling water at them and assaulting them with sticks. Some intended evictions were effected, and others, it is believed, will be abandoned.

Censured.

Hatirax, May 10.

The coroner’s investigation into the cause of electric patrolman Crocker’s death ended to-night with a censure upon the Chandler Electric Company, in not taking proper precaution to prevent accidents, after the death of Patrolman Webber, which occurred only 48 hours previous tv Crocker’s death, on the same post.

Chinese Immigration. Lonpon, May 10.

The Government of New Zealand has proclaimed all Chinese ports infected—to stop the entrance into the colony of Chinese immigrants. The Government of South Australia has proposed that an intercolonial conference be held for the purpose of arranging for united measures to exclude immigrants from China.

Furious Storm—Fish Plentiful.

Hauirax, May 10.

A furious South-West storm raged at Canso yesterday, badly damaging the fish- ing fleet in that port.

All arrivals from the banks report fish plenty. Fifty sail of the fleet have gone to Marble Mountain to obtain bait.

Poured Out.

Havirax, May 10. The Inspector of Licenses caused quite a flood in the drains near his office to-day. All the liquor that had been seized for six months was poured out. Champagne, whiskey, beer and brandy flowed down in mixed confusion.

Curr For Consumrtion.—Drinking warm blood as a cure for consumption is largely practised in the greater cities of Europe and the practice is coming into use_in Montreal. Mr. Rayard, Manager of the Eastern Abat- toirs, says that twice a week ten ladies belonging to some of the most aristocratic families in that city file into the abattoirs with silver goblets and drink the hot blood of young bullocks. The effect upon the patients, notwithstanding the conflicting opinions of the medical profession, is said to be startling. It is said that one lady, the daughter of an ex-clerk of the Recorder’s Court, who was

iven up as a consumptive by her medical

attendant last summer, is now strong again.

She leaves a hus- band, tive brothers and four sisters, beside a large number of relatives and friends to mourn, but not without the hope of a glorious re-union in that land where sorrow and death are unheard of. This is the first break by death in that family. Three sisters and four brothers saw the coffin closed after the ser- vice by James Nicholson, M. L. C. Slowly and sadly the funeral procession of neighbors and friends proceeded to St. John’s Church, of which she had been & member for many years, the tolling of the bell giving an air of sadness to the whole scene. We laid to rest till the resurrection morn, under the safe- keeping of Him ‘‘ Whose eye goeth to and fro over all the earth,” all that was mortal of her that loved and was beloved by us. sleeps beside her father and mother, and as the shades of evening soitly fell, and as the angels seemed to whisper, ‘‘ Peace, be still,” we said: ** Sister, farewell.”

Angels called thee, darling,

Called thee to their sunny home, And we know that thou art longing, For the dear ones here to come.

Oh, we long to hear the singing

Of that bright immortal throng, Hear the gold harps gladly ringing,

In that happy land of song.

Angels called thee, darling, Called thee in thy early bloom ; Now thy form is lying in the cold and silent tomb. Small white hands are gently folded, Quiet now thy busy feet ; Brightest eyes are closed forever, Gone the smiles that were so sweet,

Angels called thee From all care and pain, away To the realms of bliss eternal, To that land of purest day. And we miss thee, oh, so sadly, Since we took the farewell kiss, But we'll meet thee Johnnie, darling In the land of perfect bliss. A S@rrowine FRienv.
