Sap AccipentT.—An accident occurred on the Railroad, near Elliot's Mills, on Friday evening last, resulting in the death of a man named Patrick Keys, 1n employee on the road, and a resident of Charlottetown. The engine was just bein: supplied with water, and as it began to move off, Keys made an attempt to step upon it, but falling forward the engine passed over him sever- ing one leg and mutilating the other. He died just as the engine arrived at the depot here. An inquest was held before Dr. Taylor, and the following is the verdict :— “ That the deceased Patrick Keys came to his death through injuries received from the engine passing over him—attaching no blame to any of the persons in charge of the engine.’ We hear the unfortunate man leaves a widow and four or five child- ren.

Avxittary Biste Society.—At the annual meeting of the Auxiliary Bible Society, held in Young Men’s Christian Association Building, on Monday evening last, the fol- lowing resolutions were carried :—

“ Resolred, That this meeting acknow- ledges God's goodness for the many oppors tunities He has afforded in extending the usefulness of the Bible Society ; by means of which the many errors of the present day have been kept within very prescribed limts.”’

“ Resolved, That this meeting most earn- estly appeals to the Christian public for ens larged sympathy and increased support, so that, with the blessing of God. our Heayen~ ly Father, the prosecution of Bible circula- tion may tend to the salvation of many more immortal souls, and thereby God's name be abundantly glorified.”

“ Resolred, That the same committee ap- pointed last year be requested to continue their valuabie and efficient services for the ensuing year, with power to add to their number.’’

THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.

(From the News, March 12.)

Yesterday forenoon His Honor Donald Montgomery, who has ever since the Coun- j cil was made elective some twelve years ago, held the position of President of that

body, resigned the position. His resigna- tion was caused, we presume, by his eleya- tion seat in the Dominion Senate. Mr. Montgomery’s Parliamentary life has been longer, we believe, than that of any

to a

gentleman now in the arena.

(m the resignation being accepted, Mr. Strong moved, seconded by Hon. Mr. Hay- thorne, that Hon. Herbert Bell be chosen President, which motion was carried unani- mously.

The following Resolution was then moved by M ston, and unanimously carried :—

Hunt, having copiously quaffed the flowing bowl, was asleep in the saloon, when a body of armed men, painted and attired as Indians, broke in, and, mistaking the lawyer for the prisoner, put chains on him, and passing a rope over one of the beams, put a noose around his neck and drew him up.
