True, the watering art was out, but it was like trying to keep back the tide w ith a pitehfork : - ¢ stimated at the rreasury De- wrtment that there has been a decrease sbout $15,500,000 in the United States public debt since June 1 This will make the debt reduction for the fiscal year end- ing June 30, $88,182,200. Here is another warning for Charlotte- town. A Mrs. Gubert sued the municipal- ity of Yarmouth for $6,000 damages for in uries sustained by falling over a mound of earth left on a street in that town, without iny light to warn persons of its position. The jury found that the officials had been ruilty of negligence in leaving the earth on the street, and gave the plaintiff $585 dam- aves, The official crop bulletin of the Mani- toba Department of Agriculture and Im wigration for June has been issued. it is pleasing to learn from it that the crops throughout that Province are doing tinely and that an sbundant yield 1s expect- ed W e screage ippend a comparison of the inder various crops in different years Acreage Percentage in 1S87. of increase.

It now takes the third day to get an answer to a letter sent from | sny of the intermediate stations between ouris xr Georgetown and to Charlotte- town: and letters from Georgetown to Car- digan have first to go to Charlottetown and then be returned back again before they ire delivered. It is ridiculous to carry letters nearly 100 miles before they can be cause 8ucn an oO a. delivered at an office six miles away. And the same disadvantage is felt on the Souris branch of the railway A railway postal car with an efficient clerk would obviate these complaints. The attention of the Post Office Department is respectfully ; : ae directed to this matter. . Che Bost th Herald discourses elo- quently, but dismally, upon the ‘* depress- ed manufacturer,’ and the Empire says: ‘Mr. Wiman’s gobbling scheme has mis- earried, and there is no immediate hope of Canada being used as a dumpivg ground for surplus United States products, of which there is a large quantity on hand. The Can- adian manufacturer refuses to be crushed out. fhe Canadian workman refuses to vote away the industries that give him bread and butter. Phe Canadian farmer declines to help to markets. tis clear that ; i abolish the hom something must be done for the New England i { inuta ture - wha, as the Commercial nionists declared a short time ago, ‘looks ipon the Maritime Provinces as our legitimate territory. As he cannot have it, and sweep away Canadian competition, no wonder the Boston Herald dolefully declares, ‘The Am erican manufacturer satiers now for a market.’ He suffers, and the Grit leaders in Canada iave 80 much pity for him and so little re gard for the national industries of their own country, that they are willing to give him one. ~A correspondent in India offers somé information for those residing here, who grumble about the heat. He says: ** This has been the hottest season known in India for along time. Of the meteorological sta- tlons throughout Bengal, more than twenty have registered over 100 in the shade—the highest being 110, or sometimes 115, very likely for days together. On Wednesday last, we had an illustration of the heat, of the suddenness of death and the rapidity of burial. A young Scotchman who juined the railway service last December, went out on his engine—he was a fireman—at 2.45 o'clock; three miles past the next sta tion, he was shovelling coai into the fur- nace, and he dropped upon the foot-plate. The driver got the * Jacks,’ two native as- sistant firemen on passenger engines, to put him into the tender; and at the next station he was sent back ina dcwntrain. He was taken tothe hospital, and died without recovering consciousness. By 6.45 the funeral service had been pertormed. Thus he had been aliv e, and apparently well, and a avout six hours was under the ground, Tea Party at Cardigan. The tea party held to-day on the pictur- esque grounds at Cardigan was attended by « large concourse of people from all parts of the country round about, as well as by a number of persons from Charlottetown, Georgetown and Souris. The equipages, dresses and general appearance of the assembly was striking proof of the sub- stantial prosperity of that part of the Province. ‘The field in which the party was held commanded a beautiful landscape in which town and river, fields and wood- lands combined to please the eye, while the ‘‘ merry-go-round” and the dancing booths, with Georgetown’s youthful brass band, and the best viands, filled up the measure of anticipation to the fullest ex- tent. The tea tables were magnificent with gaily trimmed cakes, and the booths and seats erected on the grounds were very comfortable. The management deserve great credit for the success of the tea, and the excellent playing of the band from Georgetown was the subject of general re- mark. ———————_—SsGro— Supreme Court.

Heavy rains yesterday and last nigh flooded out five families at Cambria City The water came pouring down the moun- tains, tilling the first floors of the houses and destroying al! furniture saved from the flood. ‘There is great alarm over the condition of Conemaugh River. The water rose five feet this morning in two hours and carried away the foot bridge above the Pennsylvania Railway Station. There was danger of the temporary {bridge used by the Baltimore & Ohio going out and 6 loaded cars were run on the bridge to save it. About ten of the abutments began to sink on the temporary bridge, and at the lower end the Gautier offices were almost a total wreck, Orders were given at Gen ;Hastings’ headquarters at L0 o'clock to get everything in shape for quick removal, as he feared the tents would be washed away. At half- past eleven it was thought all danger was past, when 8 fresh storm broke over the valley. Ths people fear the Conemaugh will sweep over its banks and flood the town —_ pene —— A Disastrous Explosion. Paris, July 3. An explosion of fire damp occurred in a coal pit at St. Elinne to-day, by which three hundred miners were entombed. A number of bodies have been taken out. Two hundred miners were killed by the ex- plosion. Two pits were affected by the ex- plosion. One is inundated and the other is on fire. Sixteen bodies were recovered, and ten miners were taken out alive who will probably die. Sixty horses employed in the mine were burned to death. News of the disaster spread quickly, and the mouths of the pits were soon surrounded by crowds of relatives and friends of the im- prisoned miners. There is no hope of rescuing any men now in the pit, and all have probably perished. siabclieibiniiaiciaipeiu Matrimonial. Orrawa, July 3. Hon.
