Wedding Bells. A large number of persons assembled yesterday morning at St. Mary’s Church to
witness the marriage of Mr. W. F. Mitchell, Agent of the Summerside branch of the Merchants’ Bank of Halifax, to Miss Helen Pope, daughter of the late Hon. Juage Vope. The weather for the two preceding days had been very unpleasant, and the early morn of Wednesday was not, by apy
tekable evidence of having been laid out after dark. Bret if we proceed, we may be mistaken for ‘‘Steeple Cleydon,” end we therefore come at once to the point by say- ing that positively the only redeeming feature about the appearance of the town at present is Mr. Holman’s garden, which

Western Notes.
_-
(From the Summerside Journal.)
Clothes lines have been quiet lately, nor have the hen roosts been disturbed, but the evil genius of our town seems to be troubled with an affection for Scott Act certificates, all ready signed, and only the quantitics left blank.
Mr. L. Morris has carpenters busily en- gaged fitting up part of his store, on Water Street, for Mr. James Fraser, druggist. This is, without doubt, one of the best stands in the town, and we consider Mr. Fraser very fortunate in getting it.
We learn from a correspondent at Lot 8, ior whose notes we are unable to find room to-day, that Mr. Angue MclIsaac, of that district has lately returned from the far West and so far as cau be judged from the fact that he iserecting a handsom dwelling house, he is preparing to settle down on the Island for life.
The new second-class cars which now run daily on the express trains between here and Charlottetown are very handsome. Thwse who have travalled lately say that there is nothing on the Intercolonial to compare with them. The seats are of a new patent reversible pattern, and the smoking compartments are large and well ventilated. In conjunction with the Summerside and Charlottetown they make up a train that does credit to the Island, to the Superin- tendent and to the master mechanics on our | railroad.
i
In Summerside, as is well known, spir- ituous liquors, under the benign sway of the Scott Act, are regarded as a medicine, and can be obtained only upon a doctor's certificate. The other day, one of our old- est inhabitants, feeling a little bit poorly, applied for a prescription when he received one, a copy of which we give below. We were not previously aware that any of our professional men received inspiration from Parnassus, believing that the source was usually to be found in the cupboard, but that is immaterial. At any rate the certi- ficate was effectual in procuring the medi- cine.
Recipr. ‘Sp’ts Frumenti. Q. 8. Please give the bearer the in-named potation, He’s a pretty good chap, though humble his
station.
The fluid he craves is known as “‘frumens tum,”’
Aud my name at the bottom will tell you who seut bim.
The letters ‘‘q. s.,” to be very explicit,
Is a medical dodge, and means ‘‘qvantum sufficit.”
But if now a faithtul translation you pray for,
It is simply this—give kim all he can pay for.
His case is severe, so please don’t refuse it;
He’s a member of church and knows how to use it.
Please don’t fail to honor this, my first requi- sition,
For I’m sound on the goose, and an old-school physician,
There is not much either in the situation or construction of Summerside to admire, if we except the natural beauties of its noble bay, the tasteful residences of 4 few of its inhabitants and the Catholic Church. The streets are irregular, never very clean, and as yet unshaded by any trees—the side- walks on the whole are a manifest improve- ment upon Charlottetown, but that is not, saying much; the squares, we believe there Jis one, but we have forgutten its positron,
‘crowds,
causing several casualties. All kinds of rumors were in circulation. Nearly all the houses in St. James Square suffered from the force of the concussion, The lights in the Army and Navy Club build- ings were extinguished and the windows blown in. The coming of daylight in the morning showed that the damage caused by the dynamite explosion last night was fally equaly to the worst anticipations. Dense crowds of curious and excited people visited the scenes of the explosions, Policemen were drawn up in line across the various streets in the vicinity so as to prevent the access of the multitudes, orders having been given to leave the wreckage altogether ua- touched until a thorough examination has been made by Colonel Majendie, the chief inspector of the explosives.
AT ST. JAMES’ THEATRE.
ahundred yards distant, the explosions sounded like two claps of thunder. The audience was seized with alarm, which came near resulting in a panic. Several ladies fainted and men started to their feet ready to stampede. The audience was re- assured by shouts bidding everyone to sit still, asno harm had been done. The second bomb in St. James Square exploded against the residence of Sir Watkin Wynn, M. P. It produced a huge fracture four feet in height by three in breadth. The windows were smashed and the furniture damaged. The bom’ was thrown over the railing by a pedestrian and lodged upon a stone sill a foot below the dining room. The explosion created great havoc in the Junior Cariton Club House. Nuiserous cases of wine in the cellar were completely destroy - ed. The dynamite was carried down the iron steps leading to the kitchen and cellars. It was placed in the cellar under the pathway, with a lighted fuse attached. The upward force of the explosion broke a large hole in the pavement and wrecked the bacement apartments of the club, The effect was most destructive on the west side of ‘St. James’ square. The windows in the Duke ef Cleveland's house, and in the War Office in Pall Mall were shattered. An hour be- fore the explosions occurred there was an outbreak of fire at the War Oltice, which was speedily extinguished without causing serious damage. It is unknown whether it was of incendiary origin. So far as is known thirteen persons were more or less injured, including fiye women. All the wounded are in the hospital. Five, in- cluding a policeman, are in 4 precarious condition.
THE EXPLOSIVE MATERIAL.
Had all the dynamite exploded, it is im- possible to surmise the effect that would have been produced. The explosive mater- ial discovered is atlas powder, precisely similar to that used in the outrage a few monthsago. Three hundred panes of glass were shattered in the detective office, Scot- land Yard. A large iron screen where the explosives were p'aced was torn from its fastenings, blown away to a distance of thirty feet, and twisted into all kinds of shapes. ATTEMPTED ARREST.
Two persons tried to arrest a man who was hurrying along Pall Mali in the oppo- site direction from that which they were going and away from the scene of the ex- plosion in St. James’ Square. But four nen suddenly emerged from a dark corner and re'eased the man, whereupon the whole party hastened away. The dynamite placed under Nelson’s Monument failed to explods owing to a defective fuse. Had the sixteen packeges exploded, the monument must have beea completely demolished, and ruin and probably loss of life would have been caused
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES.
A large force of police has been detailed to guard all the public buildings and rail- \way stations. Detectives have been placed in the vicinity of the Cabinet ministers’ housee. The police recently received let- ters warning them that the invincibles in- tended to avenge the arrest vf Daley, Egan and McDonnell. The Dublin steamers are being carefully watched, and extraordinary precautions are taken to guard the monu- ments and public buildings in London and all towns in England. The occurrence caused a sensation in Paris. It is believed that dynamite was smuggled into England from France by a woman.
