Tite Loeal Government has. appointed Dun- can McCallum (James’ son), of Brackley Point Road, Lot 33, a Commissioner of the Peace for Queen's County; and Henry Brehaut, Esq., Jr., of White Sands, Murray Harbor, Lot 64, a Coroner for King’s County.

Tue Osporne Trrar.—This case is still un- finished. The prosecution expected to finish their case on Saturday. The defence will probably occupy some days this week. There have been no new developments, and all the interest has dropped out of the case.

A rEvorM, which the Halifax Presbyterian Witness would like to see tried in the Do- minion, is to contine the privilege of voting to men who can read and write. This, it thinks, would neither be a hardship or unjust, and it asks, Who will champion this reform?

Tue Montreal Herald says it is reported that the Irish Catholic Union has disbanded. if so, it is only in keeping with an impromptu address by the Society’s President on St. Pa'ri:k’s D y !ast, when he said that so soon as Orangeism ceased to publicly exert itself, the 1. C. U. would cease to exist.

Ow Thursday evening, as the train to Souris was nearing Harmony Station, it ran over and killed a cow which wason the track. This caused two flat cars to be thrown off the track, and some rails to be torn up. Assist- ance was telegraphed for, and a working train, under charge ef Conductor Clarke, went from Georgetown, and in a short time repaired the damage.

At the Stipendiary Magistrate’s Court, this forenoon, William Byers and Thomas Robin- son, for a breach of the Sanitary law—in re- moving night soil in improper hours—were each fined $5 and costs or 20 days’ imprison- ment; James Praught, drunk and disorderly, was fined $4 and cost or 20 days; Daniel Car- roll, for the same offence, was fined the same; John Lund, drunk and incapable, was fined $1 and cost or 4 days.

THe VENERABLE ARcHDEACON Reap, D. D. From a private letter, which we have been kindly permitted to peruse, we learn that the Rev. Dr. Read intends (D. V.) to return to this Island next summer. He says ‘‘I like to hear what is going on in Prince Edward Island, where I ara so much interested.” We also see, by papers received from England, that Dr. Read, though absent from his charges here, is not idle ir. the Master’s Vineyard. We under- stand that he has preached almost every Sab- bath since his arrival in England, and that his vacation here has been the means of giving other places the benefit of his instructive dis- courses. From the Cornishman, of Nov. 7, we learn that ‘‘An eloquent sermon was deliveid ed to a numerous and attentive congregation at the Church (in Newlyn) by the Venerable Archdeacon Read, D. D., of Prince Edward Island, on Sunday evening last.” We are sure the congregations and friends of Dr. Read will be gratified to learn that it is still his inten-- tion to return to this Island again. We hope that both Mr. and Mrs. Read will enjoy their visit HOME, after so many years’ absence, and that they will be permitted to return to us again greatly benefitted inhealth, and especial- ly that Mrs. Read may be restored to health, as, we understand, the trip to the Mother Country v.as specially made in the hope that, at least, some improvement in her health would be the result.

Tue Amherst mystery has been active for about a week. Dr. Alward, of St. John, has been in Amherst, and it is reported that Miss Cox will be removed to his place to-day. W. H. Rogers and others report they saw the oven door of the cooking stove raised off its hinges on Wednesday. An expert made an examination of the premises on the 6th. He reports that the spring of an axe handle which was braced on the floor, with tremor from the girl who is laboring under intense nervous ex- citement, caused the oven door to rise off its hinges, which seems natural. Much that is talked and written is exaggeration or imagina- tion. The tremblingof her limbs and body make noises which frightened or credulous ones mis- take for mysterious rappings.

The announcement that the Marquis of Lorne and H. R. H. Princess Lovise would at- tend the concert of St. Andrew’s Society, in the Opera Honse, Ottawa, on Tuesday might, sent the prices of tickets up to $5 each, with scores of bidders. At eight o clock fully 2,000

rsons were present, though the house seats

ut 1,500. All eyes were expectantly fixed upon the Vice-Regal box, and any movement in that quarter drew forth a suppressed mur- muc of ‘‘Here they come.” Nine o'clock ar rived, but the Marquis did not arrive, and it was decided t> open the entertainment with- out further delay. Next morning a more sold looking 2000 people was never seen, and the

Tue inhabitants of the large settlement of Elliott Vale, Lot 66, numbering about fifty householders, intend petitioning for a new post office at Kelly's Cross, which we learn is the most central place for its location.

A LARGE and influential meeting of the in- habitants of Sturgeon, Lot 61, was held at the schoolhouse at that place on Tuesday, the 3rd inst., for the purpose of selecting a fit person to actas Postmaster at Sturgeon Bridge. It was moved by Mr. John Jamieson and second- ed by Mr, Daniel McKinnon, that Mr. Walter Campbell be appointed Postmaster, Put to meeting and unanimously carried.

brigade of the best light troops, with moun-

elephants, but for these animals even the procuring of forage would be no easy mat- ter. This is the evidence of one who has been over the ground, and a competent critic has pronounced the physical difficulties of the Khurum route greater than those of the Khyber. In November, 13856, General Chamberlain reconnoitered the ground thor- oughly to the summit of the Peiwar Pass. He records intensely cold weather (in the last week of the month), the thermometer going down to 22 degrees, or 10 below freezing, the sick list filling rapidly and sup- plies being searce. The tracks beyond the Peiwar Pass are inhabited by the Jajis and Mangals, both fanatic clans, and the latter regarded as faithful to the Ameer’s cause. Looking at all the circumstances and con- tingencies a distinguished German military critic says that the Khurnm advance 1s a strategical move that may be attended with enormous results of success or of disaster. To send the army, which will have to act on its own resources, having no reserves be- hind it, into a little-known country he de- clares dangerous in the highest degree, even against and unenterprising foe, and he as- serts that the Afghans, moving on the short interior line between the Khoordi, Cabul Pass and Peiwar could crush General Rob- ert’s force by itself and return to oppose General Browne's. — Lieutenant-General Vaughan, however, ridicules the idea of such a junction, which, he says, the Ger- mans have imagined possible because the maps show a road between the Khurum and Cabul valleys, which in reality is merely a track along which single travellers or small parties may make their way. In any case, unless the Ameer intends to let the cam- paign go by default, the advance to the

Tue following freight was shipped per steamer Princess of Wales from Saminerside to Point du Chene for the week ending, Dec. 7: 22 sewing machines, 22 bundles pelts, 1104 barrels mackerel, 100 boxes boneless fish, 34 boxes canned mackerel, 24 bbls. pork, 50 car- casses pork, 10 cases eggs, 23 tubs butter, 5 rolls leather, 77 hides, 183 bbls. oysters, 16 bags turnips and cabbage, 7 horses, 300 sheep, 75 bags oats (250 bush.), 300 bags barley (600 buash.), 59 packages sundries.

WaueEn the Shanley Brothers completed the construction of the Hoosac Tunnel, and thus gave Boston another outlet for her trade, high hope was entertained for the financial success of the undertaking. It appears, however, that the tunnel will not pay the interest on the cost of repairs. The original cost was $15,009,000. In 1876, the income was about $50,000, while the expenditure was over $2,000,000. Last year the income was only $32,000, while the expenditure was over a million.

Tue Montreal Witness of the 6th says that on Friday night last Princess Louise, dressed somewhat as a habituate, with dress tucked up and veil drawn closely down over her face; the Marquis completely disguised in very com- mon clothes, with pants turned up and a slouched hat, and their attendants, dressed as cads, walked through the streets, unknown to any of the citizens. The little stranger was Her Royal Highness, and its success delighted the whole party, who returned to the Windsor Hotel after dark.

A HoRsE attached to a cart wassecurely tied on Market Square on Saturday. The animal showed a very restless spirit, and, ultimately, determined to break loose from his moorings. This he succeeded in doing, nearly demolish. ing a wagon near by, and leaving the wheels of the cart behind. Finding the body of the cart too annoying deprived of the wheels, he ran into a recess on the north side of the Market House. During his flight a well? known auctioneer considering that he did not need him down his cellar, immediately closed his doors.
