DirtHerta.—An undertaker conveys the somewhat startling information that seven children in this city, this morning, lay dead —diptheria being the cause of death in each case. We sympathise with the bereaved parents. Tue New Glasgow Chronicle reports that two large whales were seen in St. George’s Bay, off the coast of Antigonish, on Thurs-( day of last week, by the passengers and crew of the steamer Princess of Wales, on her passage from Pictou to Port Hakes- bury. Ar the Stipendiary Magistrate’s Court this morning, George Thompson, was fined $3. and costs, for being drunk and _ inca-: pable; Hugh McDonald, drunk and dis- orderly on the premises of Theodore Mor- row, was fined $6 or 1 months’ imprison- ment. A sPKcIAL meeting of the Caledonia Club will be held in St. Lawrence Hotel to-mor- row (Tuesday) evening, at half-past seven oélock. As this meeting is called for the purpose of making arrangements for the Grand Scottish Gathering to be held this summer, of which due notice will be given, every member of the Club is particularly re- quested to attend. For the past week, the signal service has been carried on at the Block House, and we, as yet, have no signal to respond in this city. What benefit is a signal at the Block House to our citizens? It cannot be seen by the naked eye, and is, therefore, as worthless as if it had never been hoisted. If the Government wishes to give signal service, let them do so wholly, and not leave out the most important part, as at present. Drerueria.—A River John, Pictou, cor- respondent of the Kastern Chronicle writes that diptheria in its most malignant form still lingers among us. The cases have been few of late, but they have been very fatal. The family of Mr. Archibald Langille, one of our ship carpenters, have been : Four fine promising boys have died of this disease within the last three weeks—twins, 12 years old, and the other two, 9 years and 10 years old, respectively, and another--their only daughter is now lying at the point of death with the same disease. Such appalling be- reavements call for much sympathy towards these sorrowing parents. On Saturday evening, the residents of the West End, bordering on Rochford Square, were disturbed by the loud report of fire-arms in that vicinity. Many living at the South Side rushed to their doors and. saw smoke rising over the houses at the North Side. A young man who was at the time passing Kent Street before the resi- dence of Mr. John Carroll, noticed some shots lodge in Mr. Carroll’s house. He in- formed them of the fact, and, on examin- ation, they found grape shot lodged in the clapboards. Last fall a gun was was dis- charged in the same direction, and the con- tents broke several panes of glass in Mr. Carroll’s windows. He suspects a fisherman who resides at the North Side of the square, of being the party who fired; and he, this morning, issued a warrant for his arrest. Miscellaneous News. The Russians have massed 17,000 men and 125 guns in a central position for Constanti- nople, Adrianople and Gallipoli. A City of Mexico dispatch says Diaz is so firmly fixed in the Presidency that the Lerdist movement is a hopeless one. Another colliery horror has occurred in Lancashire.

The Russians intend occupying Plojesti. The English and Russian forces will not be withdrawn till the end of the Congress, on ac-’ count of the endeavors of the Turks to provoke hostilities. James F.

The Duke of Connaught, a London corres- pondent hints, wanted to marry the daughter of an Irish earl, but his royal mother insisted on the alliance with the daughter of Prince Frederick Charles, considering that one sub- ject in the family is enough. Lord Beaconsfield’s mission to Berlin will be the most ening event in the present cen- tury of England’s foreign politics. If he can satisfactorily settle the ‘Asian mystery” of the Eastern Question, a life of many triumphs will be fitly crowned; and the writer of the “Political Adventures of Lord Beaconsfield” will have another chapter to write up. And if Lord Beaconsfield does succeed, what will be his thief thought? AA, to be twenty years younger! : The Florida frauds should be the chief plank of accusation against the Republican party in all the Democratic platforms for the future. No count of any indictment for high political crime was ever more atrocious than this.
