“Tue Torcu.”’—We have received a copy of the T'orch—an eight-page journal devoted to light literature—issued in St. John. The Torch is owned and edited by Joseph 8. Knowles.

Tue brigantine Fortune was towed out of Georgetown harbor this morning by the steamer Northern Light. The Fortune was loaded with oats for the English market by J. Duncan & Co., of this city.

Wirnin three years the failures in Cana- da amounted to. nearly eighty million dol- lars. Few countries can surpass this. The dabts.were all contracted, and the money was all yor nearly all, wasted in previous years.

Dissotvep. — The publishing firm at

Georgetown, hitherto known as McCourt &!

McMahon, has been dissolved by mutual consent. These gentlemen have carried on tHe publication of the K iny’s ( ‘ounty Adver- tiser during the past year, In 4 manner which was very creditable to themselves. Mr. McCourt will continue the business in his own name, while Mr. McMahon will at- tend-school for the remainder of the winter, and leave from the Island in the summer.

Tue Halifax (Chronicle says there are ‘two million reasons for voting for Jones ” _.a reason for every dollar sunk by the Pre- mier-in the Steel Rails transaction. We know of only one reason for voting for Richey, viz., that it is desirable to check or defeat the incapable, extravagant and hypo- critical combinatien at present®in power. It is probable that this one reason will out- weigh the two million adduced by the

Chronicle.

Dyks.—Another attempt Coat HaRpor Be at | clothes changed. She was very much ex-

was made on the 14th, to finish the Dy Cole Harbor, and a crib some fifty feet in length, was launched against the large por- tion,already in position, this, however, could not be accomplished; owing to the

being too short. When the cable came to its end the capstan became unmanage- able, tossing in a moment, eight or ten men to the ground, and a bar struck one of them in the face, breaking his jaw bone, knock- ing most of his teeth out and otherwise se- riously injuring him.

‘On Friday last, T. Stewart, Indian Com- missioner, had Mr. O’Connor and Mr. Leslie, of Kensington, brought before the Stipendiary Magistrate of this town on a charge of eelling liquor to the Indians. After the evidence of several of the Indian witnesses had been taken, the case was post-

ned until Wednesday, in order to give the S aandenie an opportunity to look up some important witness who had hot been su-

nacd. The case was again postponed on Tues jay, for an indefinite time.—Journal.

Tug iceboats crossed from Cape Tormen- tine to Cape Traverse for the first time this winter, on Friday last, in two hours and twenty minutes. We understand that it is the intention of Messrs. Irving and Muttart to continue their trips daily during the re- maining part of the winter, for the con- vanience of the travelling public. The crossing, we have been told, was never bet- ter. The ice-boats, under the skillful man- agement of these gentlemen, will be the cheapest and quickest way of travel to and from the island.—S. Journal.

Fata Accrpent.—The Moncton Times gives the following particulars of a fatal ac- cident at Estman’s Mills, Peticodiac, on Thursday last:—Frank Negas was en- gaged bolting wood, when the piece of wood that he was bolting came on top of the cir- cular saw, flew back and struck him in the stémach,knocking him back about eight or ten feet on the floor of the mill. He was insensible for some time, but soon came to. Dr..McDonald, of Peticodiac, was sent for. It is said that the accident would have been much worse but for the wearing of a heavy leather pad on his stomach. The doctor haa little or no hopes of him.” Negas has since «lied.

Tue recently liberated Fenians, on their arrival at Dublin, on Saturday night, were made subjects of a magnificent ovation, a procession of fifteen to twenty thousand ad- mirers, with twenty bands of music and banners escorting them from the railway to the hotel, where an address of welcome was presented, which was replied to by ono of

the ‘prisoners.

Pusiic Desrs.—The Summerside Journal has an article full of wise saws and grave warnings about ‘‘ public debts.” We wish it had been a little more pointed in its strictures. The ‘ irresponsible board ” which is about incurring a debt on behalf of Charlottetown, is a fair subject for attack on the ground taken by the Journal.

THe Oxa Casz.— The Judge in his charge to the Jury in the Oka Indian trial, held that the burning of the church was clearly the work of an incendiary. The Jury were discharged on the 15th, failing to agree. Seven French Canadian Catho- lies were for conviction, and five English Protestants for acquittal.

WE would call the attention of our read- era to the advertisement in to-day’s paper of Dr. H. A. Parker, Surgeon Dentist. We understand he comes here well recommend- ed, and we have heard patients speak very highly of his treatment. Parties requiring his services, fwould do well to give him a call. His prices are moderate.

Tne brigt. ‘Delma C.” of Annapolis, Captain Starratt, eight days from Glasgow, bound for Bear River, was towed into Yar- mouth, N. S., on Saturday. The crew had nothing but a biscuit a day for ten days, and were in a half famished condition. The Captain expects to proceed to his destination in a few days.

Narrow Escape.——A girl named Martin fell over the Ferry Wharf last night and narrowly escaped disappearing under the broken ice. After remaining ten or fifteen minutes in the water among lumps of ice, she was assisted out and taken to a house on Hillsborough Street, where she had her

hausted.

THE municipal elections were held in New Glasgow, N. S., on the 15th, and resulted as follows :—Warden.—James H. Fraser,by 43 majority over J. W. Jackson. Council- lots.— Ward 1: W. F. McKenzie, by 39 ma- jority over R. S. McCurdy. Ward 2.—Geo. Douglas, by 5 majority over J. P. Reid. Ward 3.—D. C. Fraser, without opposi- tion.

Dominion Boarp or Trapg.—The eighth annual meeting of the Dominion Board of | Trade opened at Ottawa on the 15th inst. A number of American delegates were pre- sent. The report of the Executive Council was very satisfactory. The President’s ad- dress suggested a Portfolio of Commerce among the Cabinet officers ; advocated Re- ciprocity ; insisted on the settlement of the North-west ; touched upon protection, and denounced monoplies. Work then began immediately. The compulsory inspection of butter, and the representation of the Ontario Manufacturer's Association, was taken up. A motion to abolish stamps on notes was lost by vote—21 to 11.

Hetena, Montana, Jan. 15.—Col. Mce- Leod, Chief Magistrate of British North- west Territory, has arrived here. He re- ports Sitting Bull and his band are on the British side of the line. He has never crossed the line and has no desire to do so. The fugitive Nez Perces are with Sitting Bull. Sixty lodges of Sioux recently crossed the lige from the American side to British soil. No instructions have been received by the British authorities to assign Sitting Bull’s band to any reservation, nor has he been requested to move from his present quarters. Northwestern Indians are re- ported well satisfied. The British author- ities have made treaties with all tribes save a few lodges.

Last week our? Upper Brighton corres- pondent noticed the fact thata Miss Tibbets, of Victoria Settlement, was burned by the explosion of a lamp. We have re- ceived the following further particulars of the sad and fatal accident :—The de- ceased and her sister were together,

when it exploded, the burning oil flying over

proceeding about twenty rods fell; her mother and sister reached her at once and badly burned their hands in extinguishing The unfortunate girl lingered about thirty hours and then died. She
