COUNTERFEIT LEGAL TENDZR NOTES--BEWARE.

Wr were shown, this forenoon, a note purporting to be a legal tender of the Dorinion of Canada, payable at Montreal, which was received by a gentleman in Georgetown as a sample of ‘‘ goods” offered in large quantities at a large discount for the “genuine.” The note is a perfect copy in almost every particular—the only differ- ence being that itis ashade longer than the original, and one of the lines is a shade heavier. It could be passed almost any- where without suspicion that it wasa real legal tender note. [t can be seen by the curious for a day or two at the Merchants Bank of P. E. Island.

Methodist Conference. YuSTERDAY EVENING public services were held in the basement of the Brick Church and in the Upper Prince Street Church. Rev. 8. R. Ackman, in the absence of Rev. H. Daniel, conducted worship at the former place. The congregation in the Upper Church waited for some time for Rev, FR. Wilson; but, as he failed to come, the Rev. J. K. King, one of the candidates for ordination, was pressed into preaching his ‘‘trial sermon.” As it was not preached at 6.30a. m., probably it may not be accepted. It has been customary, for many years, to have these trial sermons at that hour. Custom is the only plea!in favor ef such an arrangement. However it ‘‘ dies hard,” and will, possibly, last for many years yet. Rev. M. RK. Knight, A. B., preached his ‘‘trial sermon” this moring, at 6.30 a.m. OPENING OF CONFERENCE. Conference was opened by singing, and the reading of Scripture by the Secretary. Prayer was offered by Revds. 8. W. Sprague and F. Smallwood. Roll was called, most of the members answering to their names. « third vote resulted in placing Rev. H. McKeown in the President’s Chair, with a few votes more than the Rev. D. Chapman. Evy-President Hart, who has filled the Chair with great honor, in graceful words acknowledged the forbearance and kindness of the brethren dur- ing his term of office. President McKeown thanked the head of the church for his eleva. tion tofsuch a distinguished position. He assured the brethren that, although they would have to bear with many infirmities, he would do the best he could. Rev. Fred. W. Harrison was. elected to the Secretary- ship after a second vote—over Revds. c. H. Paisley and H. P. Cowperthwaite. He acknowledged the kindness and esteem of the brethren. Almost unanimously, the Rev. H. P. Cowperthwaite was re-elected to the position of Journal Secretary. Messrs. H. kt. Baker, A. B.. R. W. Weddal, A. B., and Thomas Marshall were elected assistant secretaries. Rev’ds Dr. Sutherland, Mission- ary Secretary, and J. Shaw, President of the Torento Conference, were introduced to the Conference and took their places on the plat- form. ‘They both briefly acknowledged the honor. Rev. J.q4 MeMurray, Nova Scotia Conference, also was asked to sit o1 the jlat- forn Messrs. . Daniel, Prince, Percival, Parker and Dobson were appointed a Com- mittce to nominate the Conference Committees, Conference hours and limits were fixed. tev. C. W. Hamilton was appointed Confer- ence Reporter to the Wesleyan.

A MAN named Brown was arrested on Tues- day evening for stealing from Mr. D. Logan’s grocery store, Pictou. When arrested, he had on him cigars, preserves, fruit, etc., deposited in his various pockets, and was evidently bent on iaaking a good haul, the occasion seemingly being propitious. He was detected by Police- man Campbell, who suspected him and watched nts precesdings from a place of con- cealment. He is suspected of having been en- gaged in shoplifting for some time, several merchants tracing losses to him,

'A Souris Man Attempts Suicide

The Reason Why He did not Complete the Bloody ndertaking.

A LIFE SAVED BY THE LOSS OF A KNIFE. Last night, at eleven o'clock, two young ladies, passing Fitzroy street, near the Marine Hospital, were startled by the cries of a man lying in the centre of the street, and saying, ‘Por God's sake, give me a dfink of water. ‘““MY THROAT IS CUT!”

They ran into Mr. Thomas Allan’s residence aud informed him of what they heard. He, in company with Mr. Pickard, went to the prostrate man’s assistance, and, on their ar- rival, were horror-stricken to find that his throat had been

CUT ACROss THE WINDPIPE, and that it was bleeding freely. They re- lieved him as much as possible, and sent for Dr. Beer, who shortly arrived and dressed the wound. He appeared to suffer great pain,and was very weak trom the loss of blood

THE WOUND.

The knife had been inserted at the left side of the windpipe, and was drawn to the right, inflicting a wound about two inches long and three-quarters of an inch deep. ‘The carotid arteries are not injured; but the wound is, nevertheless, very serious. Shortly after eleven o’clock he was removed to the Police Station where he remained in great agony till this forenoon, when he was removed to Mr. Witty’s boarding house, on Kent Street. He told the doctor and the police that had he not LOST THE KNIFE HE WOULD HAVE ENDED HIs

LIFE.

The scene of the attempted murder was at Kensington. ‘The police discovered the place this morning. Two pools of blood were there visible. In one they FOUND THE BLOODY WEAPON—

a small ivory handled knife with two blades, each being about an inch and three quarters long and a quarter of an inch wide.

THE NAME OF THE ATTEMPTED SUICIDE

is Charles Andersen, a Swede, who formerly kept a tavern at Souris. He is a small man, about 45 years of age. He was, we learn, recently imprisoned in Georgetown jail for an assault on his servant girl, and was liberated on account of an error in the commitment. The cause of his attempt to suicide is un- known.

The Vice-Regal Party.

The Vice-Regal party continue to be very successful in their pursuit of the noble

salmon. The following despatches from Metapedia, of yesterday’s date, were re- ceived last evening :— ‘*4 messenger, who has just arrived from the Vice-Regal camp, reports sport still good; five salmon were caught yester- day. The largest one this time falling to the let of © His’ Excellency and weighed 25 pounds. The party are slightly annoyed by flies, but these in- sects are not yet numerous enough to prove such a serious inconvenience as they frequently do later in the season. His Grace the Duke of Argyll and his two daughters the ladies Campbell are said to be making preparations to leave camp on Saturday next, and will probably embark in the steamer Druid, which is now at Campbellton. Yesterday was a very suc- cessful one for the anglers here, seventeen large salmon having been taken from Fraser’s Pool, but to-day the fickle wheel of fishermen’s fortune again turned, and although the weather was seemingly as fav- orable, yet the fish refused to rise, and but three were brought out.

Though 30 men were fishing here on Monday only three salmon were taken.

The general verdict among here is that as a salmon stream the Restigouche is con- siderably over-rated.” —St. John Telegraph.

Use of the Bible in Public Schools.

Ar the recent meeting of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, just previous to the adjournment, the Rev. J. Laing presented the report of the Coxn- mittee of the Synods of Hamilton and Lon- don, which waited on the Minister of Edu- cation of Ontario, at the early part of last year, with respect to the use of the Bible in the public schools. The Committee ex pressed their satisfaction with the result of the interview. After some discussion re- garding the importance of religious instruc- tions in the schools, it was moved by Rev. John Laing, seconded by Rev. Dr. Waters,

‘‘That the Assembly receive the over- ture and resolve that, it being deeply im- pressed with the importance of having the youth of this country imbued with the principles of Christian morality, earnestly urge all the ministers of the Church in their several stations to use their best endeavors, as far as psacticable, to have the Word of God read by the children in the public schools.”

A Committee, consisting -of Rev. J. Laing, convener, Rev. D. D. McLeod, Rev. Mr. Moore, Mr. Chariton, M. P., Mr. Root, Dr. Christie, and Hon. A. Morris, was appointed to look after legislation in

this regard. +<<—>P- ae

The Anti-Landlerd Agitation.

The anti-landlord agitation in the west of Ireland, lately, has been causing appre- hension. James Lowther replying to a question in the Commons on the 23rd inst., stated that the Government are fully alive to the necessity of dealing promptly with the matter. The Deputy tnspector Gen- eral of Constabulary is on a ‘special mission to the districts concerned te consult with the Magistrate’s and lecal constabulary and report what additional pelice will be re- quired in order to insure full protection to all persons in the exercise of their legal rights, that considerable reinforcements are being drafted into the districts, and notice is given that in the event of any outrage the cost of these measures will be levied upon the district where it occurs.

The Attempted Murder.

EXAMINATION OF SMITH, WHO WAS ARRESTED ON CHARGE OF SHOOTING ATKINSON—THE PRISONER COMMITTED—HIS STATEMENT.

The examination of Smith, charged with the shooting of Atkinson, was commenced on the 24th inst. A number of witnesses were examined. The gun frem which the shot was fired was produced in court, and identified by its owner John Hicks. It was found concealed in a hay loft, and the last person who was knuwn to have had it in his ssion was the prisoner, Smith. The wadding found by these first on the spot immediately after the event was a por- tion of a St. John newspaper. It was noticed that it had a strong flavor of musk. The con- nection ef the odor with the fact that the gun had just before been used for shooting musk- rats, and the fact that the ramroad, a steel one, had afterwards been wiped, corres- ponded with that found on the ground and sufficiently establishes the identity uf the gun. It has been shown, also, that the prisoner borrowed this gun and it cannet be traced beyond him. The evidence so far against the prisoner appears strong ; but his friends assert that he will be able to prove himself innocent at the trial. Under the circumstances Justice Ford had no al- ternative but to commit him for trial. The prisoner, after being cautioned under the statute, made « statement to the effect that he went to the house of Wm. Wheaton, where Hicks had his gun, before sundown. That he took the gun and laid it on the scaffold in the barn, and did not afterwards have it in his hands. The next court by which the prisoner can be tried is the Cir- cuit Court, which is called for the third Tuesday in July. The Sheriffand the con- stables have spared no effort to secure the arrest of the man who committed the act and their energy in the matter evokes fav- orable comments. The prisoner was taken

curely lodged in jail.
