Drownine Acctpent aT Hatrrax, N. §. —0Oa Saturday a cabman named John Wilson, in the employ of Edward Quinton, Halifax, too the girls, named Ida Boutillier and Clara McDonald, aged respectively 14 and 16, for a drive, Nothing more was heard of them till Sunday morning. The horse and cutter were found in Inglis St. During the afternoon a robe and whip were found near Steel’s Pond, on Point Pleasant Road. On search being mide the two girls were found in about five feet of water. A large crowd assembled and

rappled for Wilson’s remains, but up to a late

our they were not found. The road is very narrow at this point, the pond being on one side and the sea on the other. Friday’ night’s storm covered the road with rocks and ice, and it is supposed that Wilson, in trying to avoid this debris, drove on the ice and broke through.

Loss or THE Bric ‘‘Ateppro.”—The brig Aleppo, of Georgetown, A. 8. Campbell, master, sailed from Liverpool, G. B. for Sydney, C. B., on the 8th Nov. last, in bal- last. The captain reports that from the time of leaving port had very rough and tempestuous weather, but did not sustain any material damage until the night of the 14th November, When the gale rose with

heavy squalls, until it became a hurricane. |

On the 15th, at 2a. m., a tremendous sea struck the ship, throwing her on her beam ends, starting the after house, breaking in the after hatch, taking the main-boom and sheet clear away, as well as all the bulwarks on the lee side, and shifting the ballast ail to leeward. Tried to get the ship before the wind, but she would not pay off; cut away the main-mast and used it for a drag from the lee quarter, but without effect. After atime secured a covering on the hatch, but the water taken in had washed all the ballast to leeward, the ship continuing to list more and more ; when, tosave her from turning over, cut away the/fore-topmast, which took with it the masthead and ali the yards attached. The pumps being choked, tried to keep the water down by bailing for two days,the vessel being a complete wreck, lying helplessly in the through of the sea, with the rail under water. Sighted a ves- sel on the 16th ; made signals of distress ; she bore down to our relief, but owing to the roughess of the sea, could render no assistance ; she lay by us till the 17th, when we abandoned the ship in latitude 59 30 north, logtitude 7.30 west, and were ta‘cen on board the American ship Zephyr, «f Boston, Captain Sweetzer, and landed on th» 3rd of mber on the north-west of St. Michael’s Azores, from whence the Captain and crew made their way to Liver-

Fatat Acciprnts. —On Friday last a man named Charles Dow, a lumberer, at work on the line of the New Brunswick Railway, near Woodstock Junction, was instantly killed by the fall of a brow of logs. As Mr. Daniel Campbell was driving home on the 4th, and when crossing the railway track at Aiton’s croesing, two miles west of Sus- sex, the Quebec express from St. John came along, striking his wagon, throwing Mr. Campbell out, and killing him instant- ly. His body was mangled fearfully. An inquest is being held at present. ‘lhe de- ceased gentleman wasa resident of Camp- beli’s Settlement, N. B.

CrugLty to Animats.—Two boys who are in the employ of Mr. J. J. Regan, bar- ber, appeared before the Stipendiary Ma- gistrate this morning, to answer a charge of cruelty to animals. It appears that a dog owned by Joseph McCarey, frequents Regan’s barbershop; and very often made hiuself obnoxious. Three times he. was ejected from the shop on Tuesday evening, and on entering the fourth time, he was seized by the boys, who poured turpentine ou his hind quarters, set fire to it, and set the dog bazing and howling through the street. They confessed to the charge, and were each fined eight dollars.

Tue Second Meeting of the Week of Prayer was held in the Wesleyan Brick Chapel, Prince Street. Rev. J. Lathern, Pastor of the Church, presided. Rev. J. M. McLeod spoke on the first subject be- fore the meeting ; Judge Young on the sec- ond. Both speeches were brief, and mani- fested much of the spirit of Union, and were listened to with marked attention. Revds. D. G. McDonald, K. McLennan, W.S. Pascoe, D. FitzGerald, and Mr. F. W. Moore took part in the exercise. The Choir, assisted by the congregation, sang some good old familiar Wesleyan hymns. The meeting was a pleasant and profitable one, and was well attended for such a cold night.
