Ax Ottawa despatch says: News comes from up the Matimeau that cattle are dying there by hundreds for want of feed, caused by the extreme length of wiater. :

Squtas OXENHAM, of Wyoming village, Lambert Co., Ont., a blaff, hearty farmer, left for England the other day to take possession of estates in Barnstable worth $5,000,000. The Squire will also share with a deceased relative’s widow personal property worth $2, - 500, 000.

A uerp of 2,500 baffaloes recently at- tempted to cross the Yellowstone at Cow Island, the water being very deep. They ad- vanced in a phalanx, the front file being a quarter mile in length. The ice suddenly gave way..and 400 or 500 animals tumbled into the river all in a heap. Others fell on top of them; and the whole herd struggled unsuccessfully and then disappeared. Ina minute from the time the first ice broke not a buffalo was to be seen.

Mr. SourseRN (Lord Dundreary), with the Duke of Beaufort, Sir John Reed, Bart., and Mr. Florence, intend starting from Quebec early in the summer on a six weeks’ fishing expedition to tie Natashquan river, a mag- nificent salmon stream 250 miles from Gaspe Basin by sea. The river has been rented by Mr Southern for five years from the Depart- ment of Marine and Fisheries at a yearly rental of $450.

WueEN the question of ‘‘ letting Canada go” was up in the British House of Commons some years ago, Mr. Roebuck said: ‘‘ What I want the Canadians to understand, and what I want the Government to make them under- stand, is that we do not care a farthing about the adherence of Canada to England; we care for their trade only.’’ Is it for offending this class of pounds-shillings-and-pence politicians that we are to be charged with disloyalty to the Empire ?— 7’oronto Mail.

We understand that the appointment of Agent-General for Victoria, which will be va cant next month through the retirement of Sir Archibald Michie, K. C. M. G., who hes held the office for six years, is likely to be offered by the Colonial Government to the tight Hoa. H. C. E. Childers, M. P., who has on two previous occasions occupied the post. In the present instance, however, his acceptance of the Agent-Generalship will probably depend upon the report of the select committee on the Clare election, in reference to what constitutes a place of profit under the Crown.

Mr: D. M. McLeop, of this city, formerly manager of the Co-operative Store, left this afternoon en route for Portland, Oregon. He carries with him the esteem of our citizens generally. Previous to his departure he was presented with a farewell address by St. Law- rence Lodge I. O. O. F., of which he was a most worthy and enthusiastic member. A committee from Zion (Presbyterian) Church also presented him with a similar token of re- =oniaae in recognition of his services as leader of their choir, the duties of which he verformed both faithfully and satisfactorily. {r. Joseph McEachern, also of this city, ac companies Mr, McLeod to the golden shores of the Pacific. We wish both those gentle- men every success in their new home.

A sTRANGE. affair occurred at Amherst, N. S., on Tuesday last. A stranger named Campbell, who appears to be a shyster by trade, was, a day or two since, waited on by a number of Robb’s foundry men, whose ire he had aroused by his interference with the business, and invited him to take a drive. He declined. They, however, persuaded him his health tiated a little trip in the coun- try, and they politely assisted him into a ve- hicle, and, forming a procession of teams, drove out some distance on the Wallace Road ; they pulled up opposite a roadside tree that had a good stout limb ten feet from the ground, assisted him to alight, and silently producing a hempen rope with a slip-noose on one end, they threw the other end over the limb and requested him to say his prayers. He drepped on his knees and begged for his life, but they were resolutely determined to have blood. Finally, his frantic appeals for mercy overcame some of the less hardened of the party, and, after much hesitation, he was sworn on the Bible that he would never enter Amherst again, when he was released.

Tre largest infant at birth of which there is any authenticated record was born in Ohio on the 12th of last January. The new-born boy was twenty-three and three- quarter pounds in weight (the ordinary weight being about six pounds), and thuty inches in height (the ordinary height being about twenty inches). The circumference of the head was nineteen inches, and the foot was five and a half inches in length. Six years ago the same woman became the mother of a child eighteen pounds in weight and twenty-four inches in height. The size and weight of the babe, thongh ex- traordinary, are proportionate to the size of the parents. The mother, Mrs. M. V. Bates, of Nova Scotia, is seven feet nine inches high, and the father, a Kentuckian, is seven feet seven inches high. The Lon- don Hospital Museum can boast no longer of its giant infant, which is only twenty- four inches high, with the head thirteen and a half inches in circumference.—Ex- change,

_Ar the meeting of the Halifax City Coun- | cil, on Wednesday, the Mayor read a letter | from Lord Dufferin, acknowledging the re- | cetpt of the illuminated address presented to him by that city.

} A row took place in the vicinity of Davies | & Co’s corner last evening, in which one of the | combatants came summarily in possession of a! black eye. He complained of the matter at | the the Police Station, but received no en- | couragement to carry the matter to court.

THE ice has now entirely disappeared from the docks, and the channel of the river oppo- | site the wharves is widely opened; yet there ; is little sign of a break in the North and West River ice. On the Kast River this morning, a team crossed from above Kelly’s Cove to the Asylum Point.

A RUNNING RACE, best three in five, took place on the 12th at Woodbine Park, Toronto, between Moulton of St. Louis, Harris o/ Hamilton, Sparks of Toronto, and Henry of Chicago. It was won by Heney, who took third, fifth and sixth heats ; Moulton second, and Harris third. No time given.

iv is looked upon as settled that the Prin- cess Louise is to spend the summer at Halifax, Ramor has it that an English physician is com- ing out to take care of her and give her advice. There is no telling what the Canadian climate may not do for her Highness. Indeed, some of her friends are said to be already congratu- lating her.

How Tuincs ARE Done In WIsconsin.— An honest man is wanted for Treasurer of Brown County, Wisconsin. Van Stracklin was elected by the Republicans, although his record was bad, and he stole $30,900. Burk- hart, a Democrat, absconded next, with $60,- 000. Then Republicans and Democrats united to elect Ellis, whose probity nobody doubted; and an investigating committee now figures up his theft at $6,000.

Tue fishing season has opened very poorly through Great Britain. The salmon disease still lingers in the rivers running into the Nol- way. ‘The fish continue te die of a kind of leprosy, and turn quite white. But ds some of the rivers have been overstocked with fish, it is to be hoped that the plague will disap- pear when the over-crowding ceases, and when hetter care is taken that the rivers shall not be polluted as the most of them have been in Great Britain.

Mr. Earce’s Concert last night was prob- ably one of the very best lately given in Char- lottetown. The overflowing house showed the good policy of charging a reasonable and uni form price of admission, and was also a hand- some testimony to the reputation of the per- formers: As all the ladies and gentlemen who took part are well known, we need make no special comment on particular pieces. The instrumental parts of the programme were ex- ceedingly good—well selected and well ren- dered. Of the Orchestral Club, when we say that we think they never played better, we also say in effect that their performance was equal to anything we ever heard here. The ladies, both in the solos and other vocal pieces, struck us as being in remarkably good voice; and we can say the same of the gentlemen. Messrs. Caven and Hermans both indulged in nautical performances to the delight of the hearers. As for the latter's song, ‘‘ Man the Life Boat,”’ no better executed piece was ever heard in this city.

The Penn Monthly, one of the best authori- | ties on tcade questions in the United States, thinks our new tariff discriminates again:t the States and in favorof England. It says. “We had hoped that the new Canadian tariff would be simply and impartially protective to their native industries, without any discrimi- nations against or in favor of any other coun- try. But the law, which was adopted and put in force in great haste, seems to be aimed at the trade with America, and to favor that with England, In several very important clauses British goods are admitted at a lower rate of duty than is charged upon goodsfrom ‘all other countries,’ meaning from across the border. The evident purpose is to force the United States to return to the basis of the old Reciprocity Treaty, and, indeed, the Gov- ernor General is authorised to suspend the collection ef duties upon our manufactures as soon as we agree to take Canadian products free of duty.”

In the course of her wanderings through one of the most picturesque portions of the Green Isle, the Empress cf Austria met with a gentlemen to whom our readers have already ) been introduced, Mr. Kavanagh, the member for Carlow. It will be remembered that this accomplished and gallant Irishman, whose ac- quaintauce Her Majesty made, we arr told, at the meeting of the Kildare hounds, was born without either arms or legs. In place of legs he has six inches of muscular thigh-stumps, one being about an inch shorter than its fel- low, while his arms are dwarfed to perhaps fonr inches of the upper portion of these mem- bers and are unfurnished with any termina- tion approaching to hands. Yet he is a beauti ful eraphlah, a dashing huntsman, an art- istic draughtsman, an unerring shot, an expert yachtsman, and drives fouf in-hand. In writ- ing he holds the pen or pencil in his mouth and guides its course by the arm stumps, which are sufficiently long to meet across the chest. When hunting he sits in a kind of saddle-basket and his reins are managed with surprising expertness and ease. ;
