DEATH IN THE FLOODS.

the well-known the Hotel

Sr. Louis, April 6.—From all points along the great river stories of disaster are pouring in. Probably never in its turbid history has the uncertain stream caused more sorrow aod suffering. The loss of life caused by the prevailing floods, taken as a whole, is appalling. The death reports come by twos and threes and are not impressive until they added into a total

loss. The damage is tremendous, vast, incalculable. The *affering is heartrend- ing. The relief is inal-quate, and every

inch the river rises means the loss of more lives and the destruc'ion of more property. When the death roll is made up it will be a long time before the 100,000 people in the lowlands cf the White, Ar- ikansas and Biack rivers in Arkansas are accounted for. The river round Cario below the detonchement of the Ob‘o is 25 miles wide. From this strip of territory all life has gone save that of fish end reptile. Thousands of persons, men, women and children are slowly starving in the tree tops and on the submerged hillocks of Arkansas and Mississippi. Shou!d relief fail to reach thera their skeletons will be found later on when the grass grows green in the torrent beds.

More SvccessruL Stupvents.—In alate issue we referred tothe Island gradnates in medicine from McGill University, Mont- real. Weare now pleased to be able to give the results in the second year anatomy examination. The anatomy examination is by far the most important in the prim- ary course, and everyone who is lucky enough to pass in that eubject is sure of success in the others. Just fifty per cent. of those who went up for the anatomy examination were successful. Our I-land boys did themeelves justice. The following are the successful ones: G.T. Alley, J. H. Bradley and I. McKinnon, Charlotte- town: W. Sutherland. Sea View; D. A. MacNally, Abram’a Village; and EH. G. Gillis, Indian River. ‘Tue ExaMINeR congratulates tne Island boys on having so successfally maintained the fame of stu- dents from this Province.

Fime at Sovris Lixe Roap.—Smith’s Hall, on the Souris Line Road, was barnt to the ground on the evening of the 29th ult. The cause of the fire is a mystery, as there was no person near the Hal! for some days previous. The loss will be considerable, as there was anew organ burnt, together with allthe books and furniture of the Hall. The loss is esti-

mated at $500, insurance $300.

DEATH OF AN ABLE EDITOR. A friend has forwarded the following from the *‘Weekly Independent” of Salem,

Though rather late in coming, it will we fee] sure be read with interest bv the mutual friends of the deceased Wm. Henrv Laweon and Mr. Fletcher :—

It was the privilege of the editor of this paper to have been intimately acquainted with Mr. Lawson. For several years we published papers in the same city, side by side,—sometimes working together in the same cause, and sometimes on Opposite sides. Like most rival editors, we had tilts with each other, but now that Mr. lawson bas cone to join the great majority in the unseen land, we desire to goon resord as testifying to his nobihity of soul, to the generous and Jarge-hearted quali- ties of the man. He possessed a guilele-s nature and a forgiving disposition. He was the essence of kindoess and gener- ous to a fault. The poor never appealed to him in vain. His home was bis delight. He loved little children and they loved him, because they knew that he first loved them. To do good was his aim. To make the world better his ambition. It is not too mucn to say he succeeded in loth. He was upright in his dealings with his fellow man. H's word was as good as his bond. Like all human beings he had bis faults and his failings, but they were of the head and not of the heart.

Mr. Lawson was also a man of wonder- ful intelligence Herevelled in literature and history. He’prized a good book above rubies and riches. He was a graceful writer—rather more racy and polished than rigorous aod original—yet, with all, a master of clear and incisive language. Take him al! in all he was one of the best writers and one of the foremost journalists of Canada.

Mr. Lawson’s nature was intellectual rather than spiritual. And yet if a pure life filled up with the perfume of kind deeds, a capacity for literary drudgery that was never sated,a desire to rise higher and to lift his fellow-man nearer to the skies is any part of religion, then the late Yorry Lawson wis arcligiong man: And

ay it duc: always appear tc the writer that ac all-kind God will neverexclnde from heaven above the man who did bis best to make a heaven below. This the departed journal- ist tried to do.

With tears of regret and eympathy for the bereaved family, the Editor of the [n- dependent would like to be able to lay a wreath of flowers on the honored grave of his departed friend.
