Mr. fienry Coomes has addressed another letter to *‘ the Editors of the Island Press ”— this time on the prices to be obtained in the British markets for articles which we have not yet attempted to send thither.

Tue Nova Scotia fishing fleet will be much larger this summer than ever before.

In September last a young lady, daughter of arichfarmer residing on Yonge Street, while attending school in Toronto, became acquainted with a young man in the employ of Mr. Lucas, builder, and secretely married him. ‘Two weeks ass ne deserted her, and is at present, it is supposed, in Manitoba. He toox away his wife's trunk and twelve hun- dred dollars, the proceeds of a farm belonging to her which he sold to a Jew in Torohto. To effect the sale he must have forged his wife’s name. An effort will be made to recover the property in a chancery suit.

Tue vicinity of Cunard street, St. John, was startled snortly after noon on Wednesday by piercing, agonizing cries for help, and some gentlemen passing saw a female enveloped in Raussl rush from a house into the street. Overcoats were wrapped round her and the flames extinguished, after which she was taken into the house and placed in bed. Her body all more or Jess birned. The girl is a native of Queen’s County, N. B., named Ada Clatten- burg, about 19. She was standing with her back to the grate in the parlor, when it is supposed a spark ignited her cotton wrapper. A little girl in the room noticed the dress on tire and told her to jump into the bath, but she did not take any heed and rushed to the strect. She suffered the most intense agony and died at six o'clock on Wednesday evening.

A sNZAK THIDF entered the St. Lawrence H>tel last evening, with the intention of feloniously securing a coat, but his plans were readily overthrown, and he escaped aiter loosening the sleeve of his own. It was about eight when he entered the hall and seized a coat which was hanging therein. As he was about to depart with his booty the proprietor- e33 appeared, caught him by the arm, and screamed loudly for help. The thief dropped the coat and struck her, but she still calied aloud for the servants and held on. Shortly after she let his arm go, and took a firm grasp of his coat-sleeve. The sleeve ripped from the body, and the thief departed, leaving the coat which he attempted to steal and the sleeve of his own. We learn that the thief was arrested by the police to-day. Heisa sailor named John Lloyd. He says “‘ he went into the hotel for a drink of water, and that a woman came out of a room and tore his coat.’ The coat was found by the police where Lloyd threw it, over the ferry wharf.

Donald Campbell and Augustus Campbell, of Juhnston’s River, were yesterday charged before Taecophilus DesBrisay, Esq., J. P., with assault and trespass by George McLeod and Alfred McLeod of the same place. George McLeod and Alfred McLeod were also charged with assault and trespass before John A. Mc- Donald, J. P., of Johnston’s River, by the above named Donald Campbell and Augustus Campbell. The Magistrate, finding that pro- ceedings had been commenced against the Campbells in this city, adjourned the case to be heard with the first in Charlottetown. Mr. DesBrisay, finding that the affray originated about a few loads of mud on the ice, ma: xed a nominal fine against the whole of the parties and divided the costs between them. He also ordered Donald Campbell, George McLeod, Augustus Campbell and Alfred McLeod each to enter into his own recognizances to the Queen in $100, with two good and sufficient sureties each in $50, that they all keep the peace and be of good behavior for twelve calendar months towards all Her Majesty’s subjects.

Four young men, named respectively Messrs. G. McDonald, Peter Phee, Angus McIntyre and Thos. Feehan, left Mount Stewart on Wednesday last, for Denver, Colorado. The former was clerk for the past six years in Messrs. Longworth & Co.’s branch store, Mount Stewart, and re- ceived a very creditable certificate from that firm for the faithful and satisfactory man- ner in which the transacted tho business! during that time; he also received very complimentary certificates from clergymen of different denominations, who had a chance of judging his character by personal acquaintance ; also from the testimony of his many friends and customers. Messrs. Phee and Feehan also worked’in the same employ, and Mr. McIntyre in the employ) of Messrs. Coffin & Glover. As they are all sober, active and industrious young men, | we trust their energies in journeying to a! distant country will prove successful, inas- | much as that they will get lucrative employ- | ment, and the blessing of good health to enjoy it,
