Bree Socuety.—The Jubilee Meeting of the P. E. I. Auxiliary Bible Society took place last night in the Hall of the 7. oA and proved a marked success. The addresses on the several resolutions delivered by the Rev. Messrs. McLeod, Weston-Jones and Shenton were most appropriate, comprehen- sive and eloquent. The anthems rendered by the Zion Church Choir were beautiful, well received, and deserved the vote of thanks unanimously given. The chair was taken by the President, Hon. Judge Young, who was supported on the right by our worthy Chief Justice, and on the left by the Vice- Presidents.

Musset Mup.—The Agriculturist says that the hauling of mussel mud would be greatly facilitated by the constraction of a spur or
branch from the railway near Summer- side to the edge of the ice. This would permit of several hundred loads being raised and shipped after
sleighing entirely breaks up on the streets.
The landing place near the station is now al- | most bare, while mud digging, with the ac- | commodation we speak of, would be in its. prime for at least two weeks longer. Some: | thing of the kind is absolutely required, and | the mussel mud interest is of sufficient im- | portance to justify it. The increased traffic, | we feel sure, would much more than repay | any outlay, while affording the farmers of | inland sections greater facilities for improving | _ lands by means of this valuable ferti-

a heartrending nature reached town last night from St. Elousie, ten miles from here. Yesterday Mrs. Pater started to attend divine service at 10 o’clock, leav- ing in the house three children, one boy and two girls. The service being over, the people started for home. When they reached Bertin’s, they saw that it was burned nearly to the ground. They hur- ried to the building, but the sight that met their eyes was appalling. Hearion Lavigne, who wasthe first to reach the burning building, discovered the oldest girl, aged 13, in the doorway burning to death, and, after several attempts, succeeded in extricating her by the hair. “ Her legs were entirely burned. She lived three hours in terrible pain. The charred remains of the youngest girl were discovered after the building was burned down and the heat had subsided. The boy had left the house some time before the fire to go to a neigh- bors, and he says his sister was lighting the fire in the stove when he left. No clue to the origin of the fire has been ascertain- ed. The father of this unfortunate family was discovered in the woods in January last, frozen to death, having taken a fit,and while in that state perished.

THE DETECTIVE’S CASE
Concluded and a Verdict of Guilty Returned—An Appeal to Be Made.
Monrreat, March 26.
In the Court of Queen’s Bench to-day Jugde Baby charged the jury in Detective Fahey’s case, and went strongly against the prisoner. He also vindicated Judge Dugas and Detective Maxwell from attacks made by the defence. The jury retired for an hour and returned with a verdict of guilty. The principal counsel for the defence gave notice of an appeal on several points of law which have been overruled. These will probably be argued on Tuesday.
MORE FLOODS. A Dyke Overflows and the Inhabit- ants Becoming Alarmed, Flee From the Town.
Beruiy, March 26.
Further particulars of the damage by floods in the Vistula River and branches show that the dyke at Hurst on the Nogate, overflowed. The inhaabitants of the place fled to Elbing suburbs. The latter place, which is on the river Elbing, is also flood- ed. The population of Marienburg, on the Rogak, escaped from the town with diffi- culty. The prisoners in jail were rescued by the fire brigade. The town is inundat- ed. Eight villages at the mouth of the Vistula are submerged, houses fallen and cattle being drowned.
