A Wakrsixe ror Tae Boys.—A young lad about eleven years of age, son of John Stevens of Sunny Brae, met with a serious accident on Friday. Instead of going home from school to dinner, he remained to play along the roads by jumping on to passing sleds. When get- ting off a sled he slipped and fell underneath, the body of the sled dragging him along for

some distance, making a serious cut on one;

eye and bruising the head very badly. Dr. Purdy was sent for and eleven stitches were required to close up the cuts.— Moncton Times. ania Concert at EmMeratp.—The concert in ald of the Episcopal Church at Springfield,

given inthe Benevolent Irish Society's Hall | at Emerald, last evening, was well attend- |

ed notwithstanding the bad roads, and the programme, which | was made up of yocal and instrumental music and readings was well carried

out. The following ladies and gentlemen belonging to this city took part: Mrs. S. Weston-Jones, Miss Green and Miss Bar, rett, and Ven. Archdeacon Jones, Rev. Fred E. J. Lloyd and H, J. Palmer, Esq.

Tue Borrom Gone.—A medical gentleman who formerly practiced his profession in Parrsboro, N. S., leaving there two years ago for Los Angeles, California, writes to a friend ia Moncton (says the Times) that the bottom has dropped out of that country. He seys that three dollare can be made here to every ove out there, and of course the cost of living there is much greater than ip Canada. The yentleman in question invested some $5,000 in real estate when he located in Los Angeles, and as he intends to return to this country in the spring, he will be that much out of pocket at least, property being a drug in the market and absolutely unsaleable.

Ir Protoncen His Lirz.—About four years ago 4 man who resided on Bilby street, and who was in consumption, was given up by hia physician, who was of the opinion that he could not live a week. The sick man, how- ever, took the advice of a butcher, who ad- vised him to drink # quantity of bullock’s blood each day. The consumptive went to the slaaghter house off Kempt Road each day and s90n commenced to get stronger. For four years he scarcely missed taking the medicine prescribed by the butcher, On Tuesday last, however, the man succumbed to the. disease. The physician believee that

DeraNncep By Love.—The Halifax Mail says :—‘** Some time ago William Skein, a United States pensioner, who lives at 155 Lower Water Street, fell in love with a young girl. Some persons who knew this planned to exturt money from Skein. They wrote letters to him and signed the girl’s name, calling upon him to send her certain sums of money, which he enclosed in return letters. Some time afterwards he met the girl on the street and spoke to her about the money. She denied everything in con- nection with the matter. Skein thea be- came aware that he was the victim of a plot. He asked the girl to marry him, but she re- fused. He then grew despondent. Yes-
