Department. The sad and unexpected event occurred at his residence, Grafton Street, in this city, last evening at about seven o'clock. Mr. Robins was for thirty-four years a public official. In the Anti-Confederate days he was Assistant Colonial Treasurer, and Manager of the Saving Bank, and held office under many succeeding adminis- trationg at a time when it was the custom of each new administration to re- move the old officials. After the Island eutered the Confederation he became Dominion Auditor aud Manager of the Savings Bank ; and a few years ago he went to Ottawa to fill an important position at the seot of Government. (Mr. Robins was a most efficient and care- ful official, and an estimable member of the community. His bereaved widow aud family have the sympathy of a large circle of friends.

Hditorial Notes.

—Our correspondent ‘“ Soowsquail” makes a practical suggestion in an im- portant matter—the bushing of the ice. What he asks seems but reasonable ; and would pot cost much time or trouble.

— We are informed by Dr. Johnson that the greatest care is taken in disin- fecting patients discharged trom the hospital, and also persons who have been quarantined in infected houses. So that persons may employ them or meet them in Company without danger of taking the infection.

—Commenting on the statement that the Government of the United States are “unalterably opposed” to _ reci- procity, the Montreal Gazette says:-- ‘It serves to show the folly of the attacks made upon the Canadian Govern- ment for not having ere this negotiated a reciprocity treaty with the United States. The assent of our neighbors is essential to the conclusion of a treaty, aud every effort to secure that assert has hitherto been frustrated. A fair treaty would be mutually advantageous, and a fair treaty the Dominion Government has long since invited, but if President Cleveland and his politica! desire to cuntinue the exist- ing condition of things, it will be im- possible to extend trade relations between the two countries.”

— Hon Thomas White, Minister of the Interior, returned to Montreal on the 4th inst. Regarding his recent visit to the Northwest, he says :—**The effects of the rebellion on the couutry itself has not been bad. There is great misery, though, among the unfortunate Half-breeds, many of them being in a condition ot destitution. They are applying, | hope with success, to the charity of people outside. In the country, however, the rebellion has created a feeling of self- reliauce and confidence ia the ability of of the people to take care of themselves. The settiers.on the whole, are confident of the country’s ‘ature. The early frosts ot the year were a serious blow in some districts, but in general the farmers have wonderfal con- fidence io the futnre and they have shown it by preparing a much larger area far cultivation next year than they did for

this. They are going in more for mixed farming.

— The annual report of the Secretary of War of the United States makes the following reference to the rebellion in the Northwest:—“In the Northwest, General Terry, commanding the depart- meut of Dakota, kept a considerable bedy of troops in the field while the Riel rebellion was in progress in Canada. During the excitement and lawlessness

incident to such a rising, it was of importance {o prevent the Manitoba ludians from crossing into Mob-

tana aud Dakota, and prevent any unlaw- fal raids by our own Indians into the Canadian territory, It is but just to the last named Indians to say that they were not inclined to avy hostile action.” The iriendly disposition manifested by the American Government, says the Mon- treal Gazette, may confidently be relied upon whenever danger of raids upon Canadian territory by American Indians exists, and it is a disposition heartily reciprocated by the people of Canada, The police and militia force now main- tained by the two countries in the north and west make a serious rising of Indians practically impossible.

—Here, says the Monetary Times, is the ditterence of a dealer on Lake Haron, who is somewhat of a pessimist, evideuty, but who has grounds for too mach of his lamentation : “Plenty store-

Is not the ease with which unpleasant debts are compounded and cancelled, a primary cause of this insane crowding into business, both in wholesale and retail? So long as our young far- mers see in our towns business men living in style »*” luxury, so long will this state of ‘ings exist. Let the ‘gent’ who asks for goods understand that he must live on the profits of his business, and not on the capital of his creditors.”

—Commenting on the resignation of M. Joly, and the letter of M, Chapleau, the Monetary Times says: ““M. Joly, the late Premier for the Province ot Quebec, has resigned his seat for Lot- biciere, rather than countenance the formation of a political party on national lives. In doing so he strengthens the extreme party in the county which he lately represented; but his deliberate choice of action, amid the frenzy of the masses of French-Canadians, must give pause to such of them as are capable of being sobered. M. Chapleau, in a letter to his constituents, breasts the storm manfully: ‘It is not,’ he says, ‘when the tempest rages that the pilot should abandon his post, or yield to the fears of those who have placed them- selves in his charge. This is his answer to the demand that he shou'd resign. He speaks undeniable truth when he says that the isolation of the French would ‘engender antagonism, conflict, and, worse than all, a war of. races. Let others, he added, ‘ force you into these excesses ; you will never find me an exponent of such davgerous doctrines.’ M. Joly and M. Chaplean have, under the circumstances, well and nobly doue their duty.’

In October 1884, the net profits were $297.448.49. And from January Ist to Oct. 31, 1884, there was a profit of $775,- 362,43

The gain in net profits over the same period last year is, therefore, for Oc'ober $95,348.60: and from January Ist to Oct. 31, $1,906,816 95.

The gross earnings for October include 885.000 for carriage of construction material, as against $93,000 during the sane month last year, but as it was carried at absolute cost, the net result is not affected,

A detachment of United States troops having been hastily ordered to Utah, the United States people were, of course, very anxious to know the reason why. It ap- pears that sometime ago a United Sta es marshal, named Colin, who had been con- spicuous in the recent trials of Mormons for polygamous offiences, was set upon by a number of Mormons, who attempted to assassinate him. Colin shot one of his assailants named McMurrin, and surrender- ed himself to the Federal Officers. The church organs have since been crying for vengeance and numerous attempts were made to take Colin from the Federal authorities witheut success. The prison was assaulted by mobs of Mormons, who were invariably repulsed. Th,

EXCITEMENT AMONG THE MORMONS

culminated on the 5th inst.,when it was an- nounced that McMurrin had died of his wounds, and Colin was hastily tranaferred from the prison to Fort Dougias, three miles from Salt Lake, where he is guarded by the handful of United States troops at that post. Last night, like wild fire, ths news went over the town that McMurrin was dying. Crowds were upon every corner, and frequent collisions between the Mor- mons and Gentiles were common, though but few of the latterhad the courage to venture out. Meanwhile, the embers of violence were being fanned into flame, and at 10 o’clock, on the death cf McMurrin, the mob advanced upon the fort. They went hooting and howling like demons, and their approach was conveyed in advance to the post. At the entrance of the fort a sentry was posted, with a strong picket line of soldiers with loaded guns in the rear. As the mob reached the gate they were halted for the countersign, being unable to give which the soldiers called upon them to halt. Without a moment's hesitation the troops levelled their guns at the breasts of the mob, and Lieut. Turner again ordered them to disperse

UPON PENALTY OF A VOLLEY,

This bold stand was unexpected, and caus- ed the mob to waver. ‘Their hesitation was fatal to their purpose, and members of the mob began to urge a return to the city for reinforcements, A long parley then ensued between the soldiers and the leaders of the mob. The surrender of Colin was refused point blank, and, swearing they would re- turn in greater numbers, the mob retraced its steps. On reaching the city, scenes of

and excitement was very great. It was then that Gen. McCook saw the inefficiency of his little force of men and his battery of small cannon. An orderly was despatched with a mesrage to the War Department and it was quick in its execution.

THE PUBLIC HEALTH.

NRW CASES.

The disease has developed on James Mc- Donald, laborer, who resides on Alley Street. He had not been vaccinated, but the first symptoms were mild. He was re- moved to the hospital to-day. Mrs, Park- man, an elderly lady, who lives on Long Street, next to one of tha infected houses, contracted the disease. Ger family was vaccinated, but she informed the doctor that she had smallpox in her youth. He therefore did not think it was necessary to vaccinate her. She was removed to the hospital. Another case developed yester- day evening in the infected house of Wm. McTague, Davy’s Lane. The victim is a girl twenty years of age. She was recently vaccinated. Her symptoms are mild, and hers will be alight case. She was also ~emoved to the hospital to-day,

Mrs. Waughan and Christy Bell are no worse. Mrs, McAree is going on well. The con- valescents are improving steadily. Charles Heartz is a little better to. day,

I have, &e., J. T. JENKINS, Health Officer.

PRECAUTIONS IN LOT 33 AND LOT 34.

Meeting of Board of Health for Lots 33 and $4, at Harrington School House, Brackley Point Road, Dee. 9, 1885. Present : Abraham Gill, Eeg., Geo. Smith, Alex. Scoit, Ralph Mabon and J. Me- Williams. It was

Resolved, That all the Churches on said Lots have leave to open for Divine Service on Sabbath next, the 13th inst.

Further Resolved, That all the Schools on said Lots except Hartington and Winsloe Road North have leave to re-open on Monday, the 2Ist inst.

J. McWinuiaMs, Secretary. Harrington, Dec, 9, 1885.

NOTES.

The City Schools will not be opened until such time as circumstances will war- rant the Board in so doing. We believe they will not be opened until after the Christmes holidays.

At the second quarterly official meeting of the Methodist Brick Church held last evening, the Rev. Job Shenton in the chair, the following resolution was unani- mously adopted :—

That this meeting expresses its devout thank- fulness to Almighty God for his kindnesses to us during the severe affliction which has recently visited our city, and records its grateful recogni- tion of the prompt and energetic action of the Health Officer, Board of Health, Physicians and Citizens’ Committee, who have devoted them- selyes so heroically tothe work of arresting the fearful scourge. At the same time it would urge upon all our families the necessity of cantinuin: in earnest prayer, and the use of the utmost vigil ance and caution until all appearance of danger shall have passed away. It aiso expresses its deep sympathy with the families who have been bereaved, and prays that the ** God of all com- fort” may grant them consolation and hope.

valli h—anienitiien A Cowardly Murderer’s Arrest. Derroir, Dec. 5.—Officers went to Orion last night, and brought back te Detroit, Stevans, the captured murderer of Miss Dackinitz. On the train he was willing to talk, and made a full confession of the murder. Hesaidhe had kept company with the girl for nineteen months past, and a short time ago engaged to marry | iss Duckinitz, The wedding was to take place

last night. He visited her Wednesday night,,

remained until about one o’clock, whan he went out to the gate with her. They talked some time, Miss Duckinitz going out oa the walk with him. ‘‘After a time ehe saw a razor in my pocket,” he said, ‘‘and pulled it out, wanting to know what it was for. She took the instrument out of the case and placing it against her throat asked me ‘Why not do this? [ took the razor and cut her throat. She went inside and fell to the ground. I then want hone and after washing up, started away.” Stevens said he wiped the blood from the instrument, but some of it remained and got into the case He would not give any reason for the bloody deed, and claims to have acted ‘‘under the impulse of the moment.” The prisoner said, after being brought to the station, that when he left his aftianced dead he realiz:d what he had done and determined to kill himself. His firste idea was to jump into the river, but his courage failed him. While on his way to Orion he crossed the bridge and the thought of suicide again entered his mind, but the water was not deep enough to ac- complish his purpose. ‘J drew the razor which I used across my throat two or three times, but I could not cut myself.”

A STeaMeR IN Trouptr.—The S. S. Ulunda is still in port, having been detained by the she iff. There are claims against her for be- tween $4,000 and $5.00, by C. & W. Ander- son, Fader Bros., the Avadia Coal Company, Fulton & Crowe, and others, The claim by C & W. Anderson was befora the Chief .Jus- tice on Saturday, and will be continued to-day, N H Mcagher appeared for Andersons, and Grahsm & Tupper for the ship The agents of the ship have filed « counter claim against Andersons for £60 a diy for detention. The Ulunda has a fell cago waiting for her at ¥altimore, and a number of passengers at St. Pierre on her return to Havre. —Hz, Herald,
