Tur Charlottetown Hospital is still doing good work in the cause of suffering humanity, and in the interests of the sick and destitute of all denominations.

Neary half a million bushels of grain were exported from Halifax during the first eleven months of last year and over a quarter of a million bushels more were awaiting ship ment in December. Halifax to Moncton and Montreal, and refined from Halifax and Moncton to the upper provinces and the far west have been made ovey the Intercolonial. The coal traffic has also exceeded that of any

increased number of hands in almost every de- pac tment of the service.— Moncton Jimes,

NOTWITHSTANDING the excellent skating on the river, the Excelsior Rink opened under very favorable auspices last evening. An immense number of skaters and promen aders were present. The ice was in splendid condition for skating. The Excelsior has been especially fitted np for ice skating. Gas has been put in, and the waiting rooms have been newly fitted ap-—the ladies room being nicely carpeted and made otherwise comfortable. Judging from the comments of those present last evening, the Excelsior may be set down as an institution which will be well patronized this winter.

Ir has been sugyested that the Dominion ministers for Ontario have been badly beaten. We find, however, that Mr. White's county gives an opposition candidate a majority of 603; that Sir John Macdonald's county fol lows suit with a majority of 1119; that Mr. Carling’s constituency returns Mr. Meredith by 200 majority; and that the opposition majority in Mr. Bowell’s riding is 463. These are all the Dominion ministers whe represent Ontario constituencies. It may be remarked that in West Durham, Mr. Blake’s constitu- ency, a supporter of Mr. Mowat was elected. His majority is 3 !—St. John Sun.

Address World's Dispensary’ Medical As- sociation, Buffalo, N, Y. saw A Livety Port-—The Halifax Critic says:

The business of this port is growing rapidly. Scarcely a day now passes without one or more steamers lying at the railway wharf, either discharging European gvods into long trains of cars to be sent into the interior of the country, or recerving from the elevator or the wharf thousands of bushels of grain, or barrels of apples, or hundreds of cattle, sheep, ete., and other staple products of Canada. Al this givesemployment to many wharf and train hands, stevedores, checkers and others who would otherwise be idle or nearly so at this season of the year, owing to the cust*m- ary decreased movements of sailing vessels.

THe Cape Ann Advertiser reports that in the case of the Russia Cement Company against Wm. N. LePage to restrain the latter from using his name in connection with the manufacture of fish glues, the Supreme Judi- cial Court has refused to grant an injunction as prayed for, and ordered the bill to be dis- missed. This wasa Bill m Equity brought by the Russia Cement Co. against LePage to restrain him from using the word LePage’s Liquid Glue in connection with the manufac- ture of fish glue at Gloucester, and from car- rying on the glue business under the style of LePage's Liquid Glue and Cement Co., they claiming the words ‘* LePage’s Liquid Glue, as a trade mark. An appeal will be taken by the Russia Cement Co., and the points of law involved in the case will be argued in the Su- preme Court as soon as it can be brought to a hearing, which will be probably be within three months. The defendant is a well-known native of Charlottetown.

A dispute arose about the price and the men struck him. He did not care to leave the meat and go for the police, as he was afraid the men would take it, so he caught up the cart, and with it and its low started off as fast as he could goin search of assistance, making the air resound with his cries therefor.

Business in Moncton.

The Moncton Times says: ‘* The year has been one of considerable pros- perity in Moncton. The factories have been pretty steadily employed ; some have yielded fair profits and others that have been unremuuerative have, it is believed, reached a position in which early dividends are assured. The import and export trade of the port has also been satisfactory. The imports have held their own, notwithstand- the partial suspention of the sugar trade during the first part of the year. The cus- toms collections during the twelve months amounted to $240,071.60, against $237,628. - 72 in 1885. The largest imports were raw sugar, which pays a duty, and raw cotton which is eutered free. The exports amount- ed to $85,376.00, against $91,175.00 the previous year, a decrease in value though the quantities appear to be well maintained. During the year 106 vessels, all schooners, were loaded with railway ties, hemlock bark and other wooden products, all for the Cnited States. Sumner & Co. were the largest shippers, 36 vessels of 3,080 tons ; E. P. Clark coming next with 27 vessels of 2,599 tons. The exports from Shediac and Cocagne, outputs of Moncton, amounted in value last year to $95,712.00.” To nl annnehiote

About midnight Thursday night a laborer named Michael Maloney, drunk and be- spattered with blood, went to the Chicago avenue police station and stated that he had murdered his daughter and son. Officers proceeded to the man’s tenement and found that the two children had attempted to put Maloney to bed. He angrily resisted, and, drawing a knife, plunged it into his neck. Maloney’s ILl-year-old daughter rushed between the father and son, only to receive a slash in the side. Both wounds are probably fatal. Maloney is in jail.
