spread in all directions and has attacked the European troops. Of the 80,000 who went te the fair from Cumaton, a quarter are thought te be missing.

THERE was considerable excitement in Halifax, and universal condemnation at Paw’s acquittal on Wednesday. For a long time, large numbers of letters and money letters have been missed from the Halifax Postoffice. It became a very serious matter. Almost every man in _ the oflice was under suspicion. After along time Paw was captured; marked money was aed in his vest
ket; another stolen letter was found on im; but in spite of the most conclusive evi- dence, the Jury acquitted him. The result is regarded as a premium on robbery. Judge James on Wednesday expressed himself very strongly. He discharged the jurymen as ut- terly unfit to distinguish between right and wrong, and declared he would never again sit on a criminal case with such a jury.
Tue EXAMINER, every day, goes into nearly every respectable house in Charlottetown. It is, every day, sold indiscriminately at all bookstores, on the streets, on the railway cars, and at towns, villages, and stations through- out the length of the Island. It is not strange, therefore, that such enterprising and leading firms as those of William Dodd, Geo.. Davies & Co., Perkins & Stearns, J. B. McDonald, Owen Connolly & Co., Carvell Brothers, F. T. Newbery & Co., Beer & Goff, Beer & Sons, Robert Young, Mark Butcher, John Newson, W. W. Wellner, G. W. DeBlois, besides many others (too numerous to mention), have recog- nized its worth as an advertising medium, and are regular advertisers in its columns. It has been remarked that those who advertise in the Examixer do most business; and the wonder is that even a greater number than those who at present patronize it, do not take advantage of its columns.

A Constantinople despatch says: ‘* The most pressing question at the present time is the mode of installing Aliko Pasha as Governor-General of Roumelia. It is prob- able that the Commission will be requested to return immediately to Philippolis and make the necessary arrangements with Gen. Strayhine, commander. The Turkish Financial Commissioners have re- fused to sign the programme of reforms elaborated by the French and English mem- bers of the Commission, because it renders the appointment of foreigners at the head of the administration compulsory, whereas the Tarks desire the introduction of foreign - ers to be optional.”
In the Commons to-day, Lord Stanley, Secretary of War, stated that a despatch from Lord Chelmsford says: ‘** Garrisons at Transvaal and in Natal might require reinforcements,” and that Lord Chelmsford also asked for stores. The telegram, how- ever, he said, avas so obscure that the Gov- ernment liad deferred action on it till fur- ther advised.
