E1GHTY-ONE cases on the docket of the City Small Debt Court to be disposed of on Wednesday next.

_ THE Swinehammers of Chester Road, N. S., have come into the possession of a fortune in England valued at £20,000.

Tue Italian Government has prohibited the importation of American swine, or any preparation of their flesh, asa precaution against trichinosis.

ANOTHER ‘‘stranger” put in an appear- | ance at the Stipendiary Magistrate’s Court | this forenoon. He was fined $1 and costs | or 4 days, for being drunk and incapable.

THE trotting match for a box-sleigh at West River, on Saturday evening, was won by Mr. Dover’s mare ‘‘Nellie.” Only one ef the races advertised took place.

Tae couriers, with a large mail, left Cape Tormentine at 7 o’clock this morning. They arrived at Cape Traverse at noon and in this city at five o’clock this evening.

Tae Railway Superintendent recently issued a circular forbidding all train hands to associate with people while in Alberton. One of the train hands who broke this rule. on Saturday last, has been quarantined in Alberton for twenty-one days.

A pispatcn from Rome of the 27th inst. says: Dr. Newman has not been offered a Cardinalate. The Pope will hold a Con- sistory about Easter, when twelve Cardinals will be named—probably six Italians and six foreigners. 7

Tue session of the Supreme Court at Georgetown ended on Saturday. Twenty- four civil cases were disposed of. James Frazier, who confessed to a charge of lar- ceny, was sentenced to two months’ im- prisonment in the common jail.

‘*A Goop Otp Act.” —We record to-day, in our obituary columns, notices of the death of four persons in Cumberland County, N. S., whose united ayes is 342 years—-an average of 85 years and odd to each. They all did during the present raonth.— Moncton Times.

On the 27th a letter was published in Montreal, written by Dr. Bingham, of Bur- lington, Vt., addressed to a party named Wasmith, inviting the latter to send dead bodies fer medical purposes, for which he would be liberally rewarded. The letter is in reply to one received by the doctor, but Wasmith is not known there.

We hear that, on Saturday last, one of our young townsmen performed the extra- ordinary feat of skating from this city to Mt. Stewart—a distance of eighteen miles —inside the short space of one hour. As yet we have not heard the young man’s name; but, if such a feat has been perform- ed we would respectfully ask the young man who performed it to send a short ac- count of the performance to this office and we will give ita prominent corner in our journal.

Wut B. A..ry, Esq. , died very sudden- ly at his residence, Grafton Street, yester- day. Mr. Allin was in his usual good health on Saturday. He cemplained ot be- ing unwell on Saturday night, but arose as usual yesterday morning. At ten e’clock, the members off his family noticed unusual symptoms working ou him. He fell back, and, before they had time to reach Lim, life was extinct. Heart disease is supposed to have been the cause. Mr. Allin was one of our leading mechanics, and was general- ly respe->ted.

A CORRESPONDENT in another column calls the attention of the Government to the present disgraceful state of the hospiial at the Block House. We, several times, called the attention of the McKenzie re- gime to the same matter. After doing so, men were sent to repair it ; but our corres- pondent informs us that its present condi- tion is snore disgraceful than before the pretended repairs were made. This being the case, we think the present Government should Jose no time in making the hospital comfortable and ready to receive patients at any moment.

NEWS BY TELEGRAPH,

Orrawa, March 1.

Sir John McDonald has given notice that he will introduce a Bill to amend the Acts relating to Dominion lands. | The Dominion Telegraph Company’s bill | asks that their powers should be extended | s0 as to embrace all and every part of the | territory of the Dominion.

There is no word of the budget yet, and itis probable that the House will have been in session one month before it will be brought down. The result will be to ex- tend the time of the session much longer than was expected.

A breeze is expected to be created in the House by a motion of Sir A. J. Smith, asking for order in Council relating to the payment of $10,000 to Mr. W. R. Clark, for alleged services to the Canadian Gov- ernment in connection with the Halifax Fishery Commission.

De. Tupper will give a dinner party on Tuesday evening next.

Sir John McDonald will entertain a num- ber of friends at Stadacona Hall this even-

ing.

Lonpon, March 1.

A Tashkend dispatch states that the Afghan Ambassadors were received by Gen. Kauffmann yesterday. The Russian Gen- eral Rasgoriff, who accompanied the Em- bassy, says the disposition of the Afghans inclines to resistance, notwithstanding the efforts of the partizan of the English at Cabul, who act as spies on the Afghans, and who calumniated the Russians on every oc- casion.

The Ameer of Afghanistan was every- where received with acclamation by men, women and children. One thousand people came out from Tashkegen to meet him. The Ameer announced, wherever he went, his determination to continue the war against the British.

WRETCHED STATE IT IS IN—ICEIN EVERY ROOM!

To the Editor of the Hxaminer.

Srr,— Some two or three weeks since his Worship the Mayor made application for the use of tne hc spital should it be required. The auswer was, ‘‘ yes, you can get it.” Now it may be the public at large are not aware of the wretched state the building isin. Atthe first outset, the doors and windows are so imperfect that snow and rain comes freely in, and there is not a stove that can be put into use. The two old franklins are completely burnt out, being so long in the service; and furthermore there is neither coal nor wood to make fire with. Nor has it been for the winter, inas- much as the present keeeper declares he can- not remain there unless the wants of the place gets better attentior.

This, then, sir, is the place where every person who might be afflicted with the small- pox, row raging at Alberton, must go. I can only cay this is no credit toa civilized country. We may be informed that the building has undergone repairs of late. So, indeed, it has. But it appears the men engaged at the work were playing hide and go seek, instead of do- ing the work. And, above all, the roof takes in the rain just as fast as it falls, and especial- ly the angles which have been renewed. Un- derneath, the water comes through the upper and down to the bottom floor. The Engineer in charge, is chargeable for this ; for it has un- dergone his supervision, and there was to be seen large flakes of ice on the floor of every room and the hall.

And now, Sir, if this state of things is to be tolerated, the rulers at Ottawa should know it.

Yours, etc.,
