A SENSATION Was caused “in financial circles
on Tuesday by Mr. Parent, cashier of the Hochelaga bank, leaving the city witha de- ficit of over $15,000 in his accounts. On
Thursday last the bank opened a branch at Valleyfield, Que., and on Friday President St. Charles received a message from the eashier there that he was unable to balance the cash. Parent was thereupon instructed to proceed thither and assist the local man in unravelling the difficulty. Previous to going he drew cheques for $12,000 and succeeded in getting the ledger keeper to accept them. Then he cashed the cheques and left the clty. He is said to be in Boston, The bank is fully protected by a guarantee company. Parent 27 and leaves a wife. oe ,

Cabin Company ap- to-night and to-morrow at Albany, Argus of October 12th says :
ncle Tom's Cabin’ was given at the Leland last evening in the presence of a very good sized audience, that seemed to enjoy the
nfolding cf the play as well as if it was the
sion of an original production. It does seem rather strange that this time-worn drama should retain sucha tirm hold on the theatrically inclined public, but such is the
tact and there is no gainsaying it. The pro-
duction last evening was above the average,
and was heartily ppl wu led, the jubilee singers, in particular, being singled out for especial marks of approval. This evening
will bring the last performance. =
A FINE audience is already assured the Oddfellows on June 15, when they produce the best and mest successful American play ever written, ‘‘ The Danites.”” The Lawrence Journa/, in speaking of the play and of Miss Cody, who plays the leading part here, says: ‘**Miss Agnes Cody completed her engage- ment at the Opera House last evening, re- peating the Danites to a crowded house, com- posed of our best citizens, and giving more real, heartfelt satisfaction to her auditors than any actress who has been here for a long time. None of her acts are overdrawn, nei- ther is there anything lacking in the young lady's portrayal of ‘ Billy Piper.’ She sus- tained the part with a smoothness so evenly balanced that theandience repeatedly recog- nized her efforts in outbursts of generous applause. We predict for her a crowded house whenever she returns.” The best local talent in the Order of Oddfellows will contri- bute the support, and every attention will be paid to detail and scenic effect.
