The death rate in this city during the first three months of 1879 was scarcely 27 per 1,000 of the population lower (the medical health officer says) than it has ever been before. The official programme for the reception at Ottawa in honor of the delegates to the Triennial Council has been prepared. The subordinate lodges under the jurisdiction of the Loyal Orange County Lodge, of the County of Carleton, together with visiting lodges from surreunding Counties, will as- semble at Cartier Square, at half-past twelve o'clock, on Wednesday, the 23rd July. At half-past one o'clock, sharp, a procession will be formed. Invitations to be present and take part in the demonstra- tion were extended to several outside or- ganizations, including one to the Orange- men of Montreal. It is not expected, how- ever, that the latter will be present ina bedy, but merely as individuals. The visitors will be received at the various sta- tions by the district of Ottawa lodges. Orrawa, June 30. A reduction of wages from one dollar per day to eighty cents has taken place in two large lumber mills here. This is a re- duction of 20 per cent. from last year. There is a rumor that the Indians had attacked Lieut. Gov. Laird’s house at Battleford, but the Government have no advices in the matter owing te the interru- tion of the telegraph line. The rvmor, however, is not credited. Napanee, Ont., June 30. An Indian named Maracle, living at Ty- endinago Reserve, was literally roasted te death by the sun the other day. He par- took freely of whiskey until he became drunk_and then laid down in the sun near his dwelling. His daughter tried to arouse him but could not, and on visiting him some hours afterwards fo:nd that he was net sleeping but dead. In taking off his clothing parts of his flesh came off with them, the flesh being roasted by the heat of the sun. Sr. Carnrines, Ont., June 30.

The steamer ‘‘ Druid” left here this merning with His Excellency the Governor- General and party on board. It is their in- tention, it is said, to cruise down the Bay and to return to Campbellton on Saturday or Monday next. The Vice-Regal party go to Quebec some time next week by train. The Princess is still up the river fishing, and it is stated will remain there for some days yat. The (Governor-General, the Duke of Argyll and tho Ladies Campbell attended fervice at the Presbyterian Church yester- day. } MONTREAL. MonrreaL, June 30. The shocking murder of the unfortunate woman Mrs. Connolly, which took place Friday, p. m., is causing considerable ex- citement. ‘The inquest is proceeding to- day. The theory ot the murder is that the terrible butchery lies between one Flana- gan and the woman Myers. There was probably no motive for the commission of the awful deed except of satisfying the rage of adrunken person or persons. The murder undoubtedly was cone between seven o’clock, a. m., and two p.m. Addi- tienal particulars about the prisoner, Mrs. Myers, proves her to be a notorious charac- ter. She had been convicted just twenty times in the Recorder’s Court since 1855. She once threw her mother over a gallery, breaking her legs, and again put her out of the house on a winter night, and left her te lie in the yard until morning. The mother had finally to be sent to St. Bridget’s Home by the police, to be out of her way. Mrs. Myers, her husband and Flanagan «re under arrest. ZULULAND. Lonpon, June 30. 1t seems certain that the last peace over- tures of Cetewayo were bona fide. A des- patch from General Wood’s camp says the messengers of Cetewayo have been recog- nized as important persons by native spies. While these were palavering with Chelms- ford a report arrived that the Zulus were advancing on Wood’s camp. Thé messeng- ers readily agreed to be shot if the report proved'true. When it was ascertained that the report was unfounded the messengers were released. Chelmsford, after stating the terms of peace, declared befere treating further that the’two captured cannons and some hostages must be given up. The messengers asked Chelmsford to halt, pend- ing an answer, but he refused. : The troopers who were with the Prince Imperial when he was killed declare in con- tradiction to Lieut. Carey’s statement that the survivors galloped two or three miles without stopping. The Times correspondent summarizing the various accounts of the death of the Prince, says the Quartermas- ter General disobeyed {Chelmsford’s orders ee by sending the Prince on a dangerous ex- pedition, the escort of which deserted its duty. In the whole affair there was not one redeeming feature. NO. 34, ————— FRANCE. Paris, June 30. The editor of the “Tribaulett has been sentenced to six months imprisonment and three thousand francs fine for cari- caturing President Grevy and three of the ministers. The crops in ali parts of France have been injured by the rain. Beets suffered heavily. A heavy thunder storm visited Paris last night, and sever.1-persons were killed. THE ZULU WAR. Prerer Manirzeura, via Lonpon, June 30. Peace messengers have returned te Cetewayo, and there is virtually a fort- night's armistice. Nearly all the specials from the Cape pronounce peace overtures bona fide. AFGHANISTAN. CaNDAHAR, June 29.

PUBLIC SERVICES. Monpay, JUNE 30. On Saturday a seryice, which partook largely of an experimental character, was held in the Basement, presided over by Dr. Pope, a former pastor ef the church here. Several of the members of the Conference took part in it, including Drs. Pickard and Stewart, and Messrs. J. Price, 8. James, W. Lawson, and J. Lathern, whese words were profoundly listened to. The recollec- tion of his early departure from our midst seemed to be the most prominent thought in the minds of all. Yesterday morning service was held at 6.03 a.m., when Rey. F. Freeman preached his trial sermon. At nine o’clock a well-attended love feast was held, presided over by Dr. Stewart. It proved a blessed preparation for the day’s services. Service was conducted in the morning by Rev. J. Shaw, President of the Toronto Conference. A large congregation listened with great profit te the preacher while he faithfully discoursed from the passage contained in Galatians 4 chap. and 18 v. Inthe afternoon a Sabbath School service was held, when addresses were.de- livered by Rev. E. Evans and R. 8. Ack- man—the latter of whom has already taken part in two Conference services this session in the same Church. Some imagine that this arises from the scarcity of suitable speakers in the Conference. But the cause is that many of the Ministers appointed manage to get out of this work. In the evening a full church g-eeted Dr, Suther- land, whe appeared to be ready for all the work which is imposed upen. From the suecess which he had already achieved on the platform, since h's coming here, many predicted that platform speaking was es- sentially his forte. However, the service yesterday evening proved that he was equally as strong in the pulpit. He gave a masterly discourse on the nature of the death of Christ. After the service a most impressive Saczamental service was held, which was attended by nearly all the min- isters and by an unusually large number of the members ef both the Metho- dist Churches as well as members from other Churches. Upper Prince Churth was supplied by the Rev. R. Duncan, Chairman of the Fredericton District. He preached a rich expository discourse based upon Matthew the 16ch chap. and 18th verse. His remarks on the strength of the church—its spiritual power—were very timely. In the afternoon a Sabbath School service was held. Several suitable pieces were well sung, and well-timed addresses were given by Revs. J. Marshall and B. Chappell, B. A. The evening service was conducted by Rev. Douglas Chapman, Chairman of the Sackville District. He delivered a sermoa of a truly evangelical nature, and very applicable to his audience. Members of the Conference also occupied the pulpits of the Pvesbyterian and Baptist Churches of the city, as well as most of the Methodist pulpics on the Island. This morning Conference sat with closed doors for more than an hour, when the preachers to be ordained this evening, Messrs. W. J. Kirby, M. R. Knight, A. B.; W. Pepper, T, Hicks, S. E. Colwill, G. Steel, W. Wass, J. Goldsmith, add J. R. King were ex- amined, for nearly two hours, on various points of doctrine by Dr. Stewart, Theo- logical Professor, of Sackville, in a very kindly way. ——> > <a +e Curar Goop Booxs.—The attention of the public is called to the very cheap, Bibles and other Religions Books sold at the Depositery of the British American Book and Tract So- ciety, North Side Queen Square.
