U ttering Bogus Notes.
A woman named Bridget Curran, who re- sides at the East End, entered the store of E. & B. Smith, on Wednesday evening, purchas- ed two pair of boots and yave in payment therefor a ten-dollar bogus note, ‘‘ Commer- cial College currency.” She received in change $3.05, Presently the ten-dollar bill was discovered by the proprietors ; a warrant was issued for the uttererand Mrs. Curran wasarrested. She said the note was given to her by a countryman, to whom she sold a cow, and that she was not aware of its being bogus. Bat this has been discovered to be incorrect. Mrs, Curran has, previous to this, borne a good character. The thoughts of her mis- fortune preyed very heavily on her mind and shortly after arrest she fell into an hysterical fit and has since been so ill that she is unable to appear at Court.

“Your Money cr Your Life.” i Last night a countryman named Alexander Gillis, of Murray Harbor Road, fell into the hands of theives. He enquired of two men, who were standing ata street corner, where Mr. MeMillan lived. They informed him that Mr. McMillan had removed, and kindly added ‘* Lf you come with us we willshow you where he lives.” Gillis, thinking them good Sa- maritans, expressed his thanks, and in an instant was moving, as he thought, with his guards, towards Mr. McMillan’s. They eon- ducted him to a wharf and threatened to take his life ifhe did not deliver up his money. The countryman’s heart fell to the region of his slippers ; he submitted witout a murmur, and handed over the sum of five dollars —all the money in his possession, He informed the police of the occurrence, and gave a description of the robbers.
A Man Becomes a Maniac Through Fright.
Aw insane man named Dancan McArthur was taken from the West River to-day and loft in charge of the police for safe-keeping. He had recently worked in Shediac, and on Friday Jast took passage in the ‘‘Princess of Wales’ to visit that place, with a view of collecting money which was due hin. It will be remembered that a heavy storm raged on Friday, aud the steamer was sea-beaten in the straits until 11.30 on Friday night. Duriag the passage MecArthur’s spirits failed, and, through the fright of the passage, he became a raving maniac, We have not heard whether he has been taken from the station.

Highway Robbery.
Tue revelations made by John Doyle, on Monday, were for the greater part substan- tiated by evidence taken by the Stipendiary Magistrate, yesterday, and the robbery of the sailor George Brown, by William Corish, Fred Paul, James Vraught, Patrick Brogan and James Goodman, was proven beyond a doubt. They were fally committed for trial at the next session of the Supreme Court, for ** highway robbery.”

It may not be generally known that since the introduction of the new tariff, the mica mines of the Ottawa district are being exten- sively developed. Formerly mica was placed on the free hst, and the result was that the Aniercan article was exclusively used by Can- adian manufacturers. The duty of 20 per cent., however, recently imposed has induced Canadians to invest their capital, and our manufacturers now not only use Canadian mica, but are supplied with a cheaper and better article. So long as the Americans had the monopoly of our market, there was no en- couragerient for our capitalists to invest their mouey, but with a reasonable protection they get a market.

The Town Clock.
To the Editor of the Examiner.
Dear Sirr,—Is there any reason why the Town Clock should not be illuminated at dusk instead of being left in darkness, as it was this evening, until six o'clock? This, how- ever, is not the exception, but the rule, as it is rarely (if ever) illuminated before half-past five. It begins to get dark at half-past four, and is quite dark at five o’clock; and as there are more people on the streets between five and six than at any other time during the day, the clock should certainly be litup. The “City Fathers” must be getting economical as far as gas is concerned, which is quite likely, ban no matter how dark the night may be, there are only about half the lamps lit, or else the Keeper of the Court House does not attend to his business as he should. How- ever, no matter what the cause may be, it should be redemied. Please give this space, and oblige,
Your very truly, Pro Bono PuB.tico,
