Keifer’s downfall was said to be due to the fact that he snubbed reporters, and it is claimed that a Union general who had a great career before him lost all chance of fame by insulting a newspaper man, where- upon the rest agreed never to mention that general's namein their re ports, and so the unfortunate man dropped out of sight. The | Herald pleads for the reporter. The man who does the snubbing is the person who ° should be sympathized with. ‘Don’t snub EXAMINER, Convention at Souris.

Porarors—Receipts have increased - at the railroads, and prices are easy. Sales of New York at 50 to 55c., and New Hamp- shire at 60 to 65c. per bushel. Best natives are selling at $2 per bbl.

Several lots of old No 2 sold at $8, and old No 3 at $6 50 to $7 per bbl. These prices show a rise $3 to $4 per bbl within two weeks, and the tend- ency is to still higher rates. The catch to date is only 37,128 bbls against 208,250 bbls same time last year, a deficiency of upwards of 170,000 bbls. Consignments from the Provinces will tind a ready sale, but it is impossible to give a reliable range of quotations. Codfish are in liberal sup- ply and while quotations are the same, concessions have to be made to sell round lots. ° ~_e eS -- --- O Irish Affairs. A report is received that a man named Brosnan has been shot at Castle Island, County Kerry, Ireland, Brosnan, who is a “farmer, was shot by moonlighters. The wound i isin the leg and not considered dangerous. The moonlighters, after leav- ing Brosnan, visited the house of farmer Rooney. Entering the dwelling they pulled Rooney out of bed, fired several shots over his head, and forced him to swear he would not pay his rent. The police heard the shots but failed to make any arrests.
