She ran into the hole behind Mr. Me- Fariane's digger and sank immediately, being taken under the ice with the tide.

Orrawa, March [2.

Upon the opening of the House of Com- mons to-day, Sir John A. Macdonald informed the members of the sudden death of J. B, Plumb, Speaker of theSenate, which sad event took place at] Niagara this morn- ing. Mr. Plumb was in Ottawa in good health on Friday last, but spent Sundav at his house, where appoplexy suddenly terminat- ed his life. Sir John said that to himself and all who had known the deceased, his loss would prove irreparable. He eulogized his wonderful ability, his large fund of _ in- formation, his uniform urbanity, and con- cluded by moving the adjournment of the house out of respect to his memory.

The motion was seconded by Mr. Laur- ier, whe paid a tribute to the deceased as a

in Halifax was referred to in many of the’ pulpits yesterday.. -In Charles Street!

Those, he said, who were in the habit of spend- ing all Saturday night in a place like Davison’s sould fix themselves up and | appear out on Sunday as the elite of the city. There seems to be an epidemic of | immorality just now penetrating all classess | ef society. Several other scandals affecting high society in military circles are about being sade public. j

THex anv Now.—Several times during the past summer. we called the attention of the proper authorities to the fact that the cellars on the burnt district, Great George Street, were not properly fenced in, and expressed the fear that some person would fallin on a dark night and injure himself severely. Put no attention was paid to what we said until after John Reid, truckman, had tumbled in and fractured his hip. Then the cellar was railed in. Now Mr. Reid has begun a suit againet the city, placing damages at $1500.
