The said domestic, is afraid to go eutside the door where she resides for fear of the said Annie W——-.” The matter came up for trial before the Magistrate to-day. Miss Annie produce! three witnesses; succeeded in proving an a/idi, and the case was there- fore dismissed, We are creditably informed that over sixty applications have been made for the office in the Customs Department of this city left vacant by the death of Mr. W. H. Wilsor. It is not yet kuown whether or not an ap- pointment will be made, as it is the inten- tion of the [Government to work the De- partment with fewer officials. The mission of Mr. Wolfe to this city is to enquire into the matter just mentioned, andif he finds that the business of the Department can be transacted with the present number of officials, no fur- ther appointments will be made. A Very Paryrut Case or Bereave- ment at Lor 48,—Mr. D. M. McLeod re- moved from Charlottetown to California early last summer. Mra. McLeod, with her two children, had intended to proceed thither this fall. They would have left the Island the first part of this month; but just as all was ready diphtheria of a very malignant type settled upon the eldest of the children; and, after several days of severe suffering, little Cecil H. died Oct. 31, aged two yearsand five months. A few days after the younger, Laura M., took the saine disease, and died Nov. 12, aged one year anc three months. These twe healthy and promising children taken away so sud- denly and under circumstances so peculiar, how strange, how mysterious are the ways of Divine Providence. Universal sym- ay is felt for these bereaved parents. ay the presence of the Divine Comforter accompany the mother along her long, lonely journey, may they say amen to the Lord's request, ‘Suffer little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not, for such is the Kingdom of God.” ete ee TIE A SWEEPING REDUCTION Those who are in want of CARPETS can now supply themselves at rates unusually low at the.
