A Granp Tresk Hero Loses nuts Lirr.— Says the Montreal Star; ‘‘ Mr. Joseph De- Witt, formerly a brakeman on the G. T. Rail- way between Montreal and Quebec, recently lost his life in Chicago. He was with some comrades crossing a bridge, when one of his comrades feelin. He sprang in torescue him, was seized with cramps, and sink to rise no more. The companion saved himself by hold- ing on to the pier.

BUSINESS prospects are reported to be rapid- ly improving in the Southern States. New industries are being commenced, and the old ones placed on a sound footing. A cotton fac- tory in Georgia, working fourteen thousand spindles, has realized $80,000 as net profits during the past year. The iron industry has assumed considerable proportions in Tennessee Alabama and Georgia. Iron is now being manufactured in the first named State at léss costthan in any Northern State.

A GoopLy number attended the Entertain- ment held last evening in St. Paul’s School. room. The programme was fairly rendered. Some of the selections were, however, rather long. Messrs. F. Mitchell and L. Watson opened the entertainment with a flute and iano solo. Then followed a reading by F.

ngworth, Esq.; a vocal trio, by Miss Mann-!

ing and Messrs. Manning and Boulton ; a read- ing by R. R. FitzGerald, Esq., a piano solo by Miss Palmer, a reading by Hon. L. H. Davies, and a piano solo by Mr. Earle.

THE annual congregational meeting of Zion Church was held in the basement of their church on the 3ist ult., when the following trustees were elected for the present year, viz., William Mutch, A. Stronach, J. A. Law- son, S. H. Brown, J. D. Mcleod, D. M. Fraser, and G. Webster. From the financial reports sabmitted by the treasurer of the trustees and Building Committee we learn that the congregation is in a flourishing con- dition, the sum of $3,700 being raised for church purposes besides the building fund. As the church is to be reopened for worship on the first Sabbath of this year, and as talented men are to preach on that day, we expect to hear of the good people of the church a cheered and encouraged by the presence anc donations of the liberal pub‘ic.

‘Due Chinese question iv California promises to revive the discussion on State rights, which contributed much to bring about the civil war in the United States. The people cf the Paci- fic coast refuse to acknowledge that the solu- tion of the Chinese problem is beyond the power of their State, or that the rights of citizenship, baced upon birth as well as upon naturalization, are not subject to State regula tions. With reference to the Burlingame Treaty, they emphatically contend that the Federal Government had no right to make treaties or enact statutes detrimental to the welfare of the States. The persecution of John Chinaman, however, continues, while legal authorities debate the State Right prob- lem.

A Lahore despatch says a strong force of mountaineers stopped all traffic through Khyber Pass and cut the telegraph wires. Three companies of troops have been sent to clear the Pass. At Hazar Pir, four mountaineers were publicly banged for murdering a camp follower of the Kurum column, and two others were flogged for plundering.

The London Times’ Berlin correspondent is trustworthily informed that the Pope would yield on the question of the nomin- ation of the clergy. A modus vivendi might be found. The Government inflexibly in- sists that the Catholic clergy shall receive education in Germany alone.

The Times’ Paris special denies that Italy is endeavoring to aggravate difficulties be- tween France and Tunis. Such interfer- ence is improbable, as Italy has been dis- tinctly informed that France would resist even by force of arms the attempt of any European power to establish itself in Tunis.

The ‘*Times’” financiei article says that industries have been disorganized during the year, credit is shaken, and failures have m J ipliedgjon every hand. It is stated on good authority that the failures this year will be nearly five thousand in number more than last year, and it will be difficult to say where the distress will end. Not only have wages been reduced, and many thousands of citizens thrown out of empioy- ment, but many thousands, also, of those above the artizan class are either in actual want or on the confines of it. ‘The imereasing number of persons driven to grant bills of sale on their effects is one significant proof of what is going on in the ranks of the lower and mid- dle classes.

The Viceroy ef India reports that Major Uavignar received a friendly letter from Syad Mahomad, chief of Kainar Valley, announcing his intention of coming on.

The ‘ Times,” in its article on the military situation, says this may be a forerunner_of in- telligence already hinted at, that the districts of Chitral Swat and Kunar will be incorporate- ed into the Indian Empire by occupation of this tract of country and an easy and direct road to be opened up from Punjauhto Zarkand and Kashkar, presenting far fewer difficulties than that now followed by the Central Asian Trading Association, which traverses the high mountain ranges of Cashmere and Ladak.
