CoNSIDERABLE amusement has been caused at Ottawa by the fact becoming known that a number of delegates to the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church remained at home from fear of small pox. ‘There are very few vases in the city, and every precaution is taken to prevent its spread.

A PARAGRAPH clipped from a St. John paper, and published in our issue yesterday, in reference to thesupposed loss of the schooner Annie Duncan, is entirely incorrect, as we find, on searching our records, that the Annie Dun- can cleared trom this port for Crapaud on the 3rd inst.

We see by Quebec papers that His Honor Mr. Justice Young, of this city, was _present- ed to the Governor-General and H. R. H. Princess Louise, on the 7th inst., and that on the 10th he was present at a state dinner given by the Lieutenant-Governor of Quebec to the Vice-Regal party.

Tue casos reported a few days ago of a murderous assault at Loganville, Pictou, is worse than was supposed, and will probably

QvueBEC now boasts in the Dufferin Terrace, the finest promenade in the world. It is ],- 500 feet long, with an average width of 65 feet, and is about 186 feet above the level of the water at its feet. Itcommands a magni- ficent view, and is altogether a valuable addi- tion to the picturesque of the most pictur- esque city on the continent.

A CentraL News telegram, the substance of which appears in the Quebec Chronicle says that itis believed Lord Dufferin will be ap-

inted Governor of Asia Minor, transferring

im from his post at St. Petersburg. The re- forms needed in Asia Minor necessitate the ae oe of a master mind, and he is credited with having received the appoint- ment.

Tue London Times says the recent rise in cotton in Liverpool is a godsend to that long- suffering centre of commercial inactivity. But for this relief there must have been a crash, and nothing more opportune has happened in vommercial affairs for a long time. While the rise is only temporary, it enabled banks and speculators to escape a perilous position, and has averted a collapse otherwise inevitable.

Six DEaTHS IN ONE Famity,—A short time ago the deaths by diphtheria were reported of three children in the family of Mr. Matthew Ferguson, of flammond, King’s County. Since then three more ef his children have succumbed to the fearful disease ; six children carried off from May 24th to June 7th, leaving only the father and mother to mourn over a desolate hearthstone.--St, John Sun.

A ¥icuT originated on Dorchester Street yesterday evening. After the belligerents had pummeled each other considerably, the police arrived and arrested one of the party. He refused to go and resisted all the efficers en- deavors totake him. He was at length carried bodily by four of the police, and a crowd of ever two hundred spectators followed them to the station. A street brawl is a novelty in

this quiet City.

Tue Winnipeg Weekly Times,—a large eight-page paper—and a good Liberal Con- servative organ is issued, postage paid, at ene dollar per year. Mr. Theo. L. Chap-

lle is agent in this city. Intending em- igrants and all who have friends in the far west, in fact all who wish to be enlightened regarding the remarkable progress of Mani- toba, ought at once to hand in their names at the ‘‘Diamond Bookstore.”

A rew days agoa paragraph appeared in this paper about a little cor nena Baker, being astray in the woods at Fredericton, N. B., forfour days and night together. The boy when found was sitting on a fence beside the railway, whither he had been attracted weak and feeble as he was by the locomotive’s whistle. The poor little fellow, as was natural, on being taking home was quite ravenous. It appears the parents did not take sufficient

recaution to keep food out of his way, and eath resulted as the consequence of over-

eating.
