FATAL BUT VERY SERIOUS.

Apsour half-past four o’clock last after- noon the community was startled by the announcement that John Jackson, a well known resident of Douglass Street, had cut his throat with a razor while laboring under a tit of temporary insanity, and that he was not expected to Enquiry into the facts of the case elicited the following in-

who is a cooper by trade, has been out of employ- This fact preyed upon his mind to uch au extent that he became ill, and last week called several times upon Dr, Dawson for medical advice. On Sunday, the Dr, hearing that Jackson was poorly, called at his residence to see him, and was agreeably surprised to find him considerably improved. Sunday night Jackson and his wife, who is one of the Salvation Army Soldiers, attend- ed the Army meeting in the Market Hall, and went home together, Jackson appearing to be in excellent spirits.

Monday morning Mrs. Jackson, who is a dressmaker, went out to do some sewing, leaving Jackson and the servant girl at home. All the day Jackson appeared quite

and was anxious to be alone. Several times he intimated to the servant she was at liberty to go out if she felt She dressed herself, once or out, but something always to prevent her doing so, and finally she abandoned the idea.

Shortly after four o’clock in the after- noon, however, the girl dropped into a neighbor's house to have a quiet chat. Jackson, who had evidently been watching for the girl to leave the house, took advant- age of her absence, and seizing a razor he repaired to a bedroom, upstairs. Between the bed and the wall there is a space of about three feet, and there it was that Jackson made the attempt whichcame with- im an ace of ending his days upon earth. His attempt at suicide was certainly a cool and deliberate one. Placing his _ right elbow on the bed as a support, and leaning his breast and head forward, he held the razor in his left hand. Lifting the razor up he entered it into the flesh at the bottom of the right ear and, leaning upon it, pulled it down to the centre of the throat, inflict- ing a ghastly, gaping wound. The blood flowed profusely, but that did not satisfy him, and he inflicted another wound near and similar to the first one.

The servant gil returned about this time and noticed Jackson’s condition. She immediately gave the alarm, and a messen- ger was despatched with all haste for Dr. Dawson. The Doctor was soon on the spot. He carefully examined the wound and discovered that although a number of smaller arteries had been severed, the carotid artery remained untouched. Hé proceeded to sew up the wound and to

The anniversary of the : Chair

Society was held in the evening. was occupied by Rev. J. Shenton.

After singing, Rev. J. Paseoe led in prayer.

‘he Chairman made some remarks upon the necessity of Christian Education. This, he said, must be takeninto the home. We must aim at great things. We are doing work for the 20th century and beyond.

Rev. H. P. Cowperthwaite, A. M., in the absence of the Secretary, read the re- port. In 1885 our Church raised $10,675.85. the total income from this Conference, for the present year, is $683.16, being an in- crease of $33.18.

Rev. G. M. Campbell followed with a very able address. Secular education, he said, belonged to the State, but religious education to the Church. The school is one of the great guardians of the peace and prosperity of society.

Hon. W. G. Strong said he believed in education. He claimed that P. E. Island spent more in proportion to her resources on education than any other Provinee, and that her system of education was the most perfect of any Province. Out of a total revenue of $250,000, she spends $150,000 on education. He also referred to the dis- tinguished men that the Island had pro- duced. Educated men are required in the pulpit.

George L. Holyoke, Esq., Woodstock, followed witha most interesting address. He asserted that all true education is essen- tially Christian. The first step in the education of a youth is conversion to God. He recommended the preachers to study the discipline of the Church, and to give more attention to pastoral work. He claimed that it’ was more necessary for a man to know how to manage a congregation than to read Greek. If he could not have both the former was more necessary.

After a collection, the meeting closed with the Benediction.

Junr 18. THIRD DAY.

Prayer was offered by Messrs. Smith and Slackford. Minutes of yesterday after- noon’s proceedings were read and confirmed. Dr, Williams was in the chair.

Some conversation ensued about the disparity between the number of preaching places, and the num- ber of schools, in which Revs. C. H. Pais- ley, A. M., J. S. Allen, and Dr. Williams took part. On motion of Rev. A. Lucas a vote of thanks to Dr. Withrow was passed for the exeellent Sabbath school periodicals.

THE CAMPAIEN.

One who was present reports that three fourths of the meeting at Mount Stewart were in favor of Ferguson and Kelly.

Advices from Crapaud state that the meeting held there yesterday was large and enthusiastic for Campbell and McDougall. it is stated that the Grits have given up the hope of ousting Mr. Campbell, but are try- ing hard to get one man in.

The meeting at Murray Harbor Road last evening is reported to have been highly satisfactory to the Liberal-Conservative cand.d ites.

A large meeting was held at Morell yes- terday. It is believed that Hon. Mr. Sul- livan will have a bigger majority then ever, and that Mr, Underhay will probably be elected’

Two Millions of People Without Work.

We find in John Swinton’s Paper a very interesting article about the first report of the National Bureau of Labor. The writer finds that the bureau is greatly mistaken re- garding some roost important facts,

For instance, Commissioner Wright con- cludes that during the year ending July 1 1885, one million of people were *‘* possibly unemployed in the United States,” and that of these 168,750 belonged to the group of manufacturing and mining industries. By a careful examination of all the facts in the case Mr. Swinton’s writer concludes that during the year in question 400,000 people remained without employment from previous years, and that 500,000 agricultu- ral laborers fell out of employment, as did 200,000 clerks, servants. and domestic laborers, while of manufacturing and min- ing laborers those who lost their occupation were at Jeast 900,000. This makes in alla total of two millions of people capable of useful industry who in 1885, by causes _ be- yond their own control, were kept in a state of idleness, or its equivalent !

Whether these figures be accurate or not, there can be no question that the army of the unemployed in this country has now as} sumed enormous proportions, and there is no present prospect that it will be much di- minished, The cause, which in every part of the world has brought about such a con- dition of things, still remains in operation, and we can see no reason why it should be interrupted. The cause is, in our judg- ment, the maintenance of the gold standard of meney. There is no doubt that a new discovery of gold, such as that which oe- curred in California and Australia in 1848-9, would put an end to this suifering and re- store prosperity. Butcan such a miracle be effected /—New York Sun.
