At half-past ten a. m., a large congregation assembled to hear the Rev. A. Donald, of Pictou, N. 8., preach the dedicating sermon which was an excllent one. At three o’clock, p. m., the Rev.

Turez Years ws Tee PENITENTIARY.— The jury in the case of John Yecmans return- ed a verdict of guilty on the second count— for shooting at Cora Smith with intent to do grevious bodily harm. The Judge sentenced the piisoner to three years in the Penitentiary. When the words dropped from the Judge’s mouth Yeomars, who had been gazing intent-

Foreign News Notes.

The Prussian Admiralty has ordered another hundred fish torpedoes to be de- livered before spring.

The Paris Temps says it is rumored that the King of Portugal, being weary of the Liberal agitation, thinks of abdicating the throne.

The Government of Bulgaria has decided te dismiss all Russian officers serving in the Bulgarian army, and to recall all \. garians pow in the Russien service.

Advices from Gora, Croatia, state that seven of the thirteen prisoners on trial for

5|implication in the recent rising have been

sentenced to terms of imprisonment vary- ing from a week to a year.

It is believed in diplomatic circles at Len- don and in Paris that the Ger.oan Govern- ment shows so much annoynnce at the massing of Coasacks on the frontier that it will make an official demand for an explana- tion from St. Petersburg, asking directly the meaning of what seems to have been a preconcerted movement.

Advices from Saigon show that the French in an encounter near Hanoi early in Sep- tewber met the Chinese regulars, who were well armed and officered. After a conflict of three days, during which the French took s9 ne of the enemies works, they with- drew. Some troops of the King of Annam were with theenemy. A letter from Saigon to The France states that unheard of cruel-

ties were committed near Hue. Admiral Corbet directed no quarter to be given to men, women or children. Three hundred

Aunamites who took refuge in the mouth of the Baw of Thuan were killed, and one hundred and fifty more drifting in a junk without arms were massacred. The Figaro declares that Admiral Corbet, at the in- stance of Commissioner Harmand, allowed such acts in order to terrorize the Annam- ites. The Temps denies that Corbet gave such orders, but admits that 1,20) of the enemy were slain at Thuan.

Another terrible murder has occurred at St. Ouen, France. At half-past ten on Sunday morning Mme. Besnard, occupying a rvom in a court, the eutrance to which is through No. 106 Avenue St. Ouen, heard a sound as of stamping, followed by a cry of *‘a Vassassin!” Some instants after- wards the door of a neighboring apartment was violently slammed, and a man was heard to rush down stairs. Mme. Besnard, after recovering from her first elarm, ralled her neighbors, who forced the door of a room occupied by a young girl named Nathalie Marie Leulev, when a horrible sight presented itself. The girl, who was only twenty years old, lay on the floor with a napkin bound around her neck. The assassin, not content with strangling his victim, stabbed her repeatedly, The knife used remained in the wound, pinning the neck of the unfortunate victim to the floor. Nothing in the room had been dis- turbed. Theft evidently was not the motive of the crime. The dead girl, who was quite pretty, had been residing in the house cnly a fortnight.
