Parnick Broan and his wife, who reside at New Haven, do not g@t along as har- moniously as man and wife should. Pat- rick, it appears, is slightly jealous of his wife, and her every action is consequently sommented upon by him, These little

domestic quarrels culminated in blows a week or twoago. Now, Mrs. Began could | stand her noble spouse’s talk, but she |

strovgly objected to having him emphasize his remarks with a club—especially when the club almost always came in contact with some part of her body. She accord- ingly had Patrick arraigned before Alex. Hayden and Alfred Tomlins,Esgs., J. P.’s, this afternoon, and fined $5 and costs. Mrs. Began also charged her fond husband with threatening to take her life with a revolver It appears that Patrick, while in town on the 22nd ult , invested some of his super- duous cash in a revolver. Qa arrivaljhome he stalked into the hovee, and with a de- termined look in his eye, informed his wiie that “She would have to walk straight now, eshe had a bulldog, and every time tt birked it bit.” For this information—and his wife’s cafety—Patrick was ordered to find two recurities in $100 each, to keep the peace for twelve months.

GLADSTONE’S NEW CABINET.

—— ee

Lonpon, Feb. 3.

| Joseph Chamborlain, Radical, has de- ned the office of First Lord ot the Admi- |ralty, ofered him by Gladstone in the new }Cabinet. It is reported that Chamberiain aspires to be made Chancellor of the Ex- chequer, but that Giadstone has abaolutely reserved that post for himself, and it is more than pr. bable that the Radical leader will oventually go into the Oabinet as a minor officer of the Crown.

‘here was a rumor in ths city to-da that anless the Liberal Cabinet, now being formed by Gladstone, shall be satisfacto + ito the Queen, it will reconstituted to ;accord with Her Majesty's wishes. Tbe Queen has approved of the selection of Hon. John Morley to be Chief Secretary for Ireland. Lord Granville, Gladstone's former minister, it is said, strongly objects to being shunted.

The new cabinet is offjcially announced as folluws :-

Gladstone, Prime Minister and first Lord of the Treasury.

Sir Farrer Herschell, Lord cellor

Earl Spencer, Lord President of the Council.

Hon. H. C. E. Childers, Home Secretary.

Earl Roseberry, Secretary for Foreign Affairs.

Earl Granville, Secretary for the Colonies.

{arl Kimberley, Secretary for India.

H. Campbell Bannerman, Secretary for War.

Sir Wia. Vernon Harcourt, Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Marquis of Ripon, First Lord of the Adwiralty.

J. Chamberlain, President of the Local Government Board,

G. QO. Trevelyan, Secretary for Scotland.

A J. Mundella, President of the Board of Trade.

John Morley, Chief Secretary for Ireland.

The following appointments have been made under the new administration: Earl Sydney, Lord Steward of the Queen's household, Arnold Morley, Patronage Secretary, Chas. Russell, Attorney Ganeral.

The composition of the new cabinet has eaused great sucprie. I[t is thought to show marks of a compromise.

Senator Frye stated he believed tho reso- lution expressed the views of the committee with unanimity. The resolution was then placed on the calendar in rezular order, and will thus coms before the Sanate for open debate in its turn.

LEPTERS TO THE EDITOR,

The Post Office Clerkghip.

Srz,—An item in vour issue of yesterday, announcing that *‘Mr. John Macdonald has been appointed to a Clerkghip in the City Post Office,” affords etartling but vacnue information to the public. | It wonld be more satisfactory could we knew which of the Johns he is, and which of the Me- Donalds he belongs to; whether he is the aon of Johu, Donald, Angus, Alexander, Murdoch, Maleolm or Roderick, and whe- ther he hails from Belfast, Tracatlie Sand Hills, East Point or Strathalbyn. Of course, if he were a plain ‘‘ John Smith,” such information wouid be superfluous, but by now kindly supplying it you will enable the public to keep the run of the Me- Donalds in the Post Office.

Intercolonial Station Ticket Office Wrecked.

—=

The mild weather of the past few days has had the effect of lossening the large large quantites of snow on the buildings with inclined roofs, and causing snow slides in many instances, some of which have been somewhat destructive and dangerous. One that occurred on the Intercolonial station roof yesterday was particularly sv. About 11.30 in the morning, the snow and ice which had collected on the dome of that partof the station eceupied by the station master, Mr. Robertson, loosened and sliding down crashed through the glass roof which is over the ticket office and the

main hall of the station The huge mass in its descent also crushed throngh the thick glass covering of

the ticket office and completely wrecked the interior of that structure. Mr. FE. Hanington, the ticket agent, was in the office at the time engaged in selling a ticket to Mr. Walter McMaar. He heard the crash above him, but there was no time to escaps, for in an instant the entire mass was upon him, broken glass flying ia all directions, one large piece striking him above the knee, and cutting through his clothing, inflicted a severe ‘flesh cut. Beyond a slight bruising he was not other- wise injured. Mr. McMann, the purchaser of the ticket, had not left the aperture when the slide descended and his hands

the falling giass andice. It wasa narrow escape for both persons.—St, John Tele- graph, Feb. 2.

On Monday, says the St John Telegraph, Mr. Richard Rackley, a griuder in Mr. Jampbeli’s edge tool works, was engaged in grinding on a “racer,” which had been worn by use to half its original siz2. While thus evgeged the grindstone burst into three pieces, two of which, happily for Rackley, struck downward and the other throngh a plank partition. Rackley was struck on the side bya plank anil knocked down, and though nat seriously injured, yet the acci- dent will probably keep him in the house for some time. This is the second time Mr. Rack!ey has met with such an accident, his escape being almost miraculous on both occa- sions.
