Heavy Weieuts in Sauispury, N. B.— And now Salisbury comes to the front with six men who weigh 1,466 lbs., an average of 241 lbs. each. Their names are—James Campbell, Thomas Jardine, Hawley Hoar, Rev. Mr. Shaw, Warren Taylor, and John Parker. This beats Moncton and Truro. Next.

Mer. Wuirrirer, the American artist in London, has built himself a house in Chel- sea as odd and unlike other houses as the artist is unlike other men. Carlyle is a neighbor of the artist, who has made a por- trait of him, for which he is said to have

Fortunate Forses.—The Chatham, N B., Advance says: ‘‘It appears that our recent announcement respecting a fortune having been left to George J. Forbes, Esq., of Konchibouguac, by a relative in Califor- nia, was correct, and that instead of being a million it isa million and a half. Mr. Forbes is now in California taking posses- sion. Happy Forbes !”

Tue pleasure of reading one’s own obitu- ary must be a truly delicious sensation. Mr. Cayley, M. P., is enjoying it now. We fancy his reflections must be something like those of an old friend of ours, of whom we once wrote an obituary notice on false in- formation. He read it calmly and then quietly remarked: ‘‘ Is that the best send- off the beggar could give me ?’—EFr.

Turek Hay Crops a YEAR.—Says a Hants Co. correspondent of the Halifax Reporter : ‘* Mr. Robert Thompson, of St. Croix, has secured three crops of hay off the same field this season, and brought some of it to the city. The harvesting of the third crop would make a pretty sight for the Royal visitors, who are expected to arrive in the city shortly. They probably think such a thing impossible for the in- hospitable climate of Nova Scotia.”

On Saturday evening an inoffensive labor- ing man, named Frederick McLeod was proceeding homewards. When in the vi- cinity of Boyle’s Tannery, he was set upon by two youngruffians who struck him with some heavy missle and knocked him sense- less to the ground. They then beat him in a most brutal manner. The cries of Mc- Leod attracted the attention of the Police to the spot. They arrested a young fellow named Benard McCarey who, Mr. Mc- Leod identifies, as the person who struck him. One side of Mr. McLeod’s face is terribly cut and swollen.

Ar the Stipendiary Magistrate’s Court, this forenoon, Joseph VaJley, drunk and disorderly on Friday night, was fined $4 and costs, or 20 days imprisonment ; Geo. Bishop, drunk and incapable on the 26th, was fined $1 or 4 days; Thomas Windon, for the same offence, was fined the same ; James McVicar, arrested for being drunk and disorderly on Saturday morning, was discharged, because of his being imprisoned in the ** Lock Up” since the time of arrest. Bernard McCarey, drunk and disorderly, was fined $4 or 20 days. The assault case of M. P. Rochford vs. P. Lamb, was again adjourned until to-morrow.

A Hauntzp Farm art Sauissury, N. B.— A correspondent of the St. John News writes: ‘* It is reported that a farm, some distance from Salisbury Station, known as the Willie Taylor farm, has the misfortune of being haunted by some unknown person’s troubled spirit. appearance) always appears in the daytime, and has conversed with some parties. The story is quite current here, and some be- lieve it, while others do not. Some people reason that no person would circulate such a yarn if untrue.” The News reporter anaes to interview the parties said to

ve visited the farm.

Our river fisheries are now suffering from lazy Water Baliffs and negligent Over- seers. The Summerside Progress says :— ‘** Poachers are said to be making havoc among the fish in Dunk River. A number of skiffs can be seen nightly, with flambeaux engaged in spearing salmon. At least, so we are informed. Where are the overseers ! Why are not the laws enforced? Is the force insufficient? We are informed, on unquestionable authority, that some of the water baliffs are among the most active of the poachers. We call the attention of the County overseer to this matter, and hope he will take such measures as will put an immediate stop to these depredations. There 43 no use in enacting laws fo: ths prosection of our inland fisheries, and paying officials to enforce these laws if such officials neg- lect their duty.”

A FEW weeks ago a cow mysteriousl dis- appeared from a pasture on Malpeque road, and up till last week was unheard of. Her owner, tired of seeking her carcass, sought her hide, which he found in one our city tanneries. No trace of the abductors can i found, and the tanner is unable to dis- cover who sold him the hide.

On Sunday evening, between the hours of six and seven o’clock, a truckman named semeg McCarthy committed a most brutal assault on a woman upwards of eighty years of age named Susan Connolly, who resides with her daughter at the west end of Dor- ‘chester street. McCarthy, in a violent state of intoxication, entered the house about six o’clock and asked for a pipe-stem which he left there on a previous evening. Mrs. Doyle, daughter of the victim, denied that he had left any stem there. He argued to the contrary, and insisted that a a search be made in a place he pointed out. The pipe-stem was found, and McCarthy, who appeared very quarrelsome, made some provoking remark, and Mrs. Doyle ordered him to quit her house. An altercation fol- lowed, and he struck her a heavy blow in the face, blacking one of her eyes. He then seized a heavy wooden chair and struck the old woman a violent blow on the forehead, inflicting a horrible wound. She fell insensible to the floor, and blood flowed in a steady stream from her forehead. McCarthy then left the house. Dr. Me- Leod was quickly summoned, and on ar- rival found the old woman prostrated by the blow and weak from lossof blood. He at once administered restoratives; and after ex- periencing considerable difficulty in stop- ping the flow of blood, he dressed the wound. The victim being a feeble old woman and bed-ridden for the past nine months, it was thought that she would not recover from the etfects of the blow. She was prepared for death after the wound was dressed, and remained in a very precarious condition all Sunday night. To-day she was re-visited by Dr. McLeod, who reports her to be out of danger and fastly re- covering. McCarthy has left for parts un- known.

The Lord of Lorne.

The New York ‘‘ Herald” says :—‘‘ The ill-natured criticisms of the London World are inconsiderate exaggerations. To be sure, the Marquis of Lorne has made no figure in Parliament, but it is to be remem- bered that he is only thirty-three years of age. At the time of his marriage he was only twenty-six, and since then he has en- countered the envious obstructions incident of his anomalous position. He has shown as much talent as Lord Dufferin had at the same age. In 1859, when Lord Dufferin was of precisely the same age as the Mar- quis of Lorne is at present, Dufferin made his yacht voyage to Iceland and gathered materials for his book, ‘‘ Letters from High Latitudes,’ which he published in the fol- lowing year. He certainly enjoyed less consideration then than the Marquis of Lorne possesses at present. Certain it is that the new Governor General will be re- ceived in Canada with the heartiest demon- strations of devoted loyalty; that early mis- takes of ignorance, if he should commit any, will be generously pardoned; that Sir John McDonald, who is the ablest and most experienced statesman of the Domin- ion, will give him wise advice; certain, too, that the Opposition will treat him and his illustrious consort with as much respect and affection «s the supporters of the adminis- tration. He is certain to be very popular at first, and to have a fair trial under favor- able auspices until he shall have had time to acquire a full knowledge of his new duties.
