Mr. Corveav, a former resident of Mon- treal, has returned to that city from the States, and is about starting the manufac- ture of silks. The building is already fitted up.

Sr. James’ Caurcu.—The members of the congregation are respectfully informed that the church will be warmed to-morrow, as one of the furnaces has been set up. There will therefore be no risk of suffering discomfort or injury from cold to any who may desire to attend divine service. Tue disappearance of Edward Lyons is, up to the present, causing unusual excite- ment in Souris. Despite the most diligent search, nothing further than his hat, one mitten and saddle has yet been discovered. It is the general impression that on his way home he drove into the channel of the river and was drowned. Althoug the river has been thoroughly dragged, no further traces than the above can be found. Tue mate of the brigantine Siena, Hector McDonald, was drowned in a very mysteri- ous manner on the night of the 22nd ult. —the night after that vessel left Trinidad. Froin the log book and crew we learn that on the night of the 22nd ult. McDonald, while on watch, fell asleep on the cabin. Three persons were on deck at the time: the deceased, the man at the wheel and another on the lookout. The sea was calm and the night very bright, it being moon- light. At 11.15 those on deck saw the de- ceased quietly resting on the cabin. Ten miuutes later search was made for him, but he was nowhere to be found. The vessel was immediately put about and the di rection which they came retraced, but he was nowhere visible. The man at the wheel says he saw nothing of him after 11.15, when he was lying asleep on the cabin. It is believed that during his sleep he rose and walked over the raii ; but how this could occur without the man at the wheel seeing something of it, is a mystery. Mr. McDonald belongs to Pinette. He was a most exemplary young man. Four Iyp1ans got enough rum somewhere on Tuesday last to ‘‘ make glad come,” and while under its influence joined in a com- bat on the road hetween "Montague Bridge and Cardigan. The Advertizer says ; ‘* En- raged with drink, and true to their savage attributes, they pounced upon one of their number—Louwis, the son of Sally—and almost butchered him. Our informant, who saw him lying on the roadside, bleed- ing and exhausted, states that his arm was alifost stript of flesh, his throat partially eut, one of his ears almost severed trom his head, and his body frightfully lacerated. | There is a law on oar Statute Book forbid- | ding the sale of intoxicating liquors to In- dians, and imposing a very heavy penalty. But it would seem that the existing law has no terrors for any individual who sells these itinerant creatures that which, in any case, is little better than poison, but in theirs a certain means of destruction. It is high time this outlawry wag put a stop to, and it rests with the proper authorities to inves- tigate this matter, and bring the offenders to justice.” | minion is called together and the chosen of own coutry. It is therefore insisted that | rewards of such service in Canadian waters | belong exclusively to Canadian seamen. As| this distinction is not observed in American | waters Our seamen are naturally indignant that they should be refused the reward of their bravery, on the ground that they are not Canadian seamen. The Secretary points out the custom that has always pre- vailed in this respect, and submits the mat- ter to the Department of the State to be brought to the attention of the Dominion Government through the proper diplomatic channels. Lonpon, Novy. 7. The Manchester Guardian’s Vienna dis- patch says it is believed that the adoption in the lower House of the Reichsrath yester-. day of an address in reply to the speech from the throne will create the assent of the Austrian members of the delegation to an additional credit for accomplishing the occupation of Bosnia, but at the same time commits them to record a vote of want of confidence in Count Andrassy’s foreign policy. ee ca mer a : oe. , i | > aw] o * OUR LARGE AN CAREFULLY SELECTED STOODX OF FALL & WINTEN GUUDS, SUST RECEIVED PERS.

SUCCESSORS TO Lonpon, Nov. 8. The Standard’s Paris correspondent tele- graphs :—‘‘Il can state positively that the Powers are negotiating; for a Conference respecting the revision of the treaty of Ber- lin, the idea originating in Berliner Vienna.” >. Hon. Peter Mitchell. (From the (uebec Chroivicle. ) When the new Parliament of the Do- the people meet to deliberate for their country’s good, there is one familiar face which will be sadly missed from the floor of the House of Commons, one gifted mind and kindly heart, whose absence from the councils of the nation will create a vain re- gret alike by Treasury and Opposition benches. We refer to the Hon. Peter Mitchell, whose public services during the long years since Confederation placed him in the foremost ranks of Canada’s ablest and most devoted sons, and entitle him to the thanks of an intelligent and appreciative people. A man of clear head, sterling ability, and large business and political ex- perience; independent in his actions, and fearless in the expression of his views; the soul of good nature, yet keen as a razor in debate, though too broad minded to des- cend to hair-splitting, Mr. Mitchell was ex- actly the last man whom the country could afford to spare at this trying juncture from active participation in the consideration of its situation and the legislative measures to be adopted for its improvement. In his dual capacity of representative of the people and member of the Government, he was the ‘beau-ideal of a faithful servant of the pub- lic and a model of efficient and popular ad- ministration of one of the most arduous and important of Canadian State departments.
