Tue pleasure of the pedestrian would be very much increased if the gutters were open. ed up and cleaned. Large pools of water are allowed to remain and become stagnant. The city fathers should try aud do something in thia matter. CiropHas LacHaNce, on trial for the mur- der of Miss Odile Desilets, aged 22, at Buls- trode, Quebec, |ias confessed that he outraged and then killed her. Her body, fearfully mangled, was found in a well, head down- ward. Tue Marquis of Lorne has written a nation- ‘al anthem for Canada, and new, as the Ot-| tawa correspondent of the New York World informs us, the Princess Louise has followed #uit, and has written a national anthem for the French Canadians. THere is great excitement at Durham, N. H., over the finding ef the body of an un- known young man inthe woods, decapitated and one arm cut.off. Torn clothes, an oak club aud other evidences of a desperate strugyle were d scovered near by. A NumERousLY signed application has been made to the |egislature, in behalf of ‘‘The Charlottetown Hospital.’ As the patients are nearly all persons whose houses are in the country, the application will doubtless be favorably considered by the country’s repres- entatives. A late English paper remarks it as a pecu- liar fact that when the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh were lately entertained at the British Embassy in St. Petersburg there was) not a single Eaglishman present, the whole personne! of the Embassy being Irish.

The letter also states that while so many are out of work, people continue to flock to the city at the rate of 400 per day. This is only corroborative of other reports, —— i A Good Thing. German Syrup is the special prescrip tion of Dr. A. Boschee, acelebrated German Physician, and is acknowledged to be one ef the most fortunate discoveries in Medicine. It quickly cures Coughs, Colds and all lung troubles of the severest nature, removing, asit does, the cause of the affection and leaving the parts in a strong and healthy condition. [t is not an experimental medicine, but has stood the test of years, giving sstisfaction in every case, which its rapidly increasing sale every season confirms. Two million bottles sold annually. Beware of Medicines of similar names, lately intro- duced. Boschee’s German Syrup was in- troduced in the United States in 1868, and is now sold in every town and village in the civilized world. Three doses will re- lieve any ordipary cough. Price 75 cents. | Sample hottie, 10 eents. onl me tte ae NEWS BY TELESRAPH, Canada T. Ae!
