Some unfeeling brute has sent to this of- fice a bogus marriage notice which was pub- lished in yesterday morning’s paper. The notice was sent by mail accompanied by fifty cents—the usual charge—and a letter to which the forged name of the gentleman said to have been married was attached. The letter is written by an experienced pen- man. Both the notice and the letter are on exhibition in the office, and we hope that rsons from the part of the country in which they were written will eall and ex- wine them, so that the cowardly sneak who wrote them may be brought to justice. We promise, if we tind out the name of the mis- @rable hound who would be guilty of so ‘mean and utterly contemptible a fraud, that we will let the people of Hope River know the name of one scoundrel in that vicinity. r~Patriot. Between six and seven o clock on Mon- day morning, the men in Hayes’s box fac- tery and saw mill at Halifax, started the machinery, A belt for driving one of the circular saws was detached from the wheel, and a workman from the upper flat called out to Charles McGowan, who was on the flat below, to put on the belt. McGowan, who is left handed, proceedod to do so, ‘ising his left hand for the purpose. He had his coat on at the time, and it appears that the cuff caught in the protuding key of the wheel. In an instant McGowan was ‘drawn over over by the revolving shaft— his arm was broken off close up to the shoulder, and went revolying round with the shaft, while his body, from which the elothing had been entirely stripped, was thrown across the mill, a distance of about arod. The Visiting Surgeon was soon in attendence, and, aided by the House Sur- geon, amputated the remainder of the sey ered limb. McGowan bore his sufferings with remarkable fortitude, but the shock was too great even for his iron constitution, and at five o’clock yesterday morning he died.— Hx. Herald.

Vienna, May 2. The Taq Blatt says that in consequence of the concentration of Russian troops near the Transylvania frontier it will become necessary for Austria to take precautions. The question of concentrating the Aus- trian army in Transylvania is being seri- ously considered. The political correspon- dent states that the revival of negotiations between Russia and England, relative to Congress, is due to the invitation of the former. The negotiations will be based upon larger concessions than hitherto ac- ceded to by Russia.
