A Terrrece Arrarr—A Northampton, Mass., despatch to the Bangor Commercial of Friday evening, gives the following par- ticulars of a terrible affray that occurred at the former place on Thursday night last :—

‘Matthew Davenport, an Englishman, aged 50, advertised to pay no debts of his wife’s contracting because she had left him. They had frequent quarrels over the cus- tody of the children. She had left him for the third time about a month ago, and has since been living with an American named Pratt, about 55 years old, who is a sort of preaching hypocrite and recently come here. Last night Davenport concealed him- self in the cellar of the house where Pratt and her paramour lived, and at helf-past five yesterday morning Mrs. Davenport went down cellar for wood to light the fire, when Davenport sprung upon her, pounded her head with a ball club and then stabbed her in the right breast with a butcher knife. Her cries aroused Pratt who rushed down stairs and grappled with Davenport. The two fought some time, when Pratt received ' 4 six inch cut across the abdomen which let his intestines out. The neighbors hearing the cries rushed in and separated the two men. Pratt cannot live long, and the Woman’s life is doubtful. Davenport was arrested and says he doesn’t care to live and regrots he hadn't killed them both outright. |

children, left Cape Charles, Labrador, on her return voyage, on October 15th, for GaAbncar, and has not since been heard of. There is no longer a shadow of hope regarding the ill-fated vessel, which must have’ fonndered “at"séa im one of the heavy gales which prevailéd at. th time. She was in ballast. and but ill)preparec to encounter rough weather.’ ‘The apprehen- sions regarding her are confirmed by reports, from two vessels lately arrived; stating that they had passed a vessel abott hér size on her beam ends, with both masts unshipped. The passengers were fishermen, many of them with their wives and children on board, who had spent the summer fishing on Labrador, and with their hard-won earnings were returning to their homes. This terrible disaster leaves a wide circle of mourners in Carbonear. Suirring Nores.—There is yet something

quite large for the season. Among the coa cargoes cleared during the week are the S. S. Acadian, to Halifax, with 1200 tons from the Vale Co., and the barque Amity w.th 801 tons from the Hx. Co., to Cardenas. “A ntmber of cargoes went by sailing vessels to adjacent ports, and to Halifax: Quite a number of small craft . arrived. during the week. The

Edward, and the schr. Hariza, goods from Boston via Halifax. In repairing little is doing. The Amity has been thoroughly repaired, and sailed as above.. The Mabel will soon be ready for sea, and is now reloading. The Agra will probably need extensive repairs. — Pictou Standard.

Tue S.S. ‘‘ Newfield,” here for coal, and mining specimens for the Paris Exhibition, sailed on Saturday. All the Pictou County Companies sent specimens of their coal, cut in a manner allowing them to be arranged in the form of a pyramid, that being the plan adopted for the display of Nova Scotia coal at the Paris Exhibition of 1878 by the Commissioners. The specimens put on board of the ‘‘ Newfield” are said to have been of much excellence. — Pictou Standard.

InsoLventT Reuier.—An application for insolvent relief was this morning made by Edward McEntee, before the Stipendiary Magistrate. Mr. John McEachern, dry goods merchant, Queen’s Street, was plain- tiff in the matter. It appears that in April last, the applicant obtained a suit of cloth- ing from Mr. McEachern. At that time he had arrived in the Brigt. Lady Milton, and promised to pay for the clothing when he would receive his wages. ‘This he did not do, and McEachern obtained judgment against him in the matter and he is now un- dergoing imprisonment for the debt. The

having been given of McEntee’s obtaining his wages at the time, and of his unwilling- ness to pay the plaintiff, notwithstanding his having means to do so several times since the goods wore obtained.
