He was ordained priest by Bishop McIntyre on the 31st May of the same year, in St. Magdalen’s Church, House Harbor, and was immediately appointed to the parish of St. Francis Xavier.

Mr. Rankine, who represents the Messrs. Brayley, had george avery valu- able horse in Montreal, which arrived here by the early freight train on Saturday morning about 2 o'clock. The horse was taken from the train by Conductor Campbell and his brakemen who had charge of the train, and tied in a shed in the freight house for a few moments while the night operator in charge was sent across the street to the Depot House to awaken Mr. Rankine. On the re- tarn of the night operator to the shed, which was in about ten minutes, the horse had mysteriously disappeared and has not since been found, nor can any trace of the animal be learned, although the roads leading in every direction for twenty miles have been searched.” (The Mr. Rankine above referred to is well kuown throughout the Island.)

A mass meeting of bricklayers and stone masons was held last evening to protest against the importing of immigrants by the master builders. Four hundred immigrants have just been landed by the railway com- panies, and these have mostly been assisted and come through advertisements in British papers. All the laboring bodies are up in arms against the new comers. The result of examinations in the On- tario College of Physicians and Surgeons has been made known. Out of 175 who went for the final, only 105 passed ; of 220 for the primary, only 130 passed. In the final are seven ladies ; in the primary, six. sovernor-General and Lady Lansdowne held a reception at Government House be- tween 4 and 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when fully six hundred called to bid them farewell.

Orrawa, May 10. This being Ascension Day, Parliament did not sit. It will sit on Saturday, how- ever, and every day of next week. The Toronto Empire intimates that in filling the vacancy in the Supreme Court Bench caused by the death of Judge Henry, the Government will select the best man avail- able, irrespective of which part of the Do- minion he may be found in. The idea that the new appointment must necessarily be made from Nova Scotia is erroneous. Robert Evans, a local man, was nominat- ed to-day by the Liberal Conservatives in Cardwell. The Emperor Better. Lonpon, May 10. The Lancet says the Emperor of Ger- many is slowly gaining strength. The recent sudden increased flow of pus was not accompanied by fever and the discharge of pus is new decreasing. Berry, May 10. The Emperor passed a satisfactory night and is in good spirits. He ate his meals with appetite, and from 1 a. m. till 3.30 this even- ing remained in his study reclining on a sofa. Troubled Ireland. Dustin, May 10. Exciting struggles occurred at Carmack, near Thurles, to-day, hetween a strong force of emergency policemen and tenants whom they sought to evict. The police used a battering ram. They met with strong resistance, the tenants throwing boiling water at them and assaulting them with sticks. Some intended evictions were effected, and others, it is believed, will be abandoned. Censured. Hatirax, May 10. The coroner’s investigation into the cause of electric patrolman Crocker’s death ended to-night with a censure upon the Chandler Electric Company, in not taking proper precaution to prevent accidents, after the death of Patrolman Webber, which occurred only 48 hours previous tv Crocker’s death, on the same post.

Fifty sail of the fleet have gone to Marble Mountain to obtain bait. Poured Out. Havirax, May 10. The Inspector of Licenses caused quite a flood in the drains near his office to-day. All the liquor that had been seized for six months was poured out. Champagne, whiskey, beer and brandy flowed down in mixed confusion. Quebec News. Quesec, May 10.

Moderate winds; partly cloudy, with a few local showers. ———————— TT Curr For Consumrtion.—Drinking warm blood as a cure for consumption is largely practised in the greater cities of Europe and the practice is coming into use_in Montreal. Mr. Rayard, Manager of the Eastern Abat- toirs, says that twice a week ten ladies belonging to some of the most aristocratic families in that city file into the abattoirs with silver goblets and drink the hot blood of young bullocks. The effect upon the patients, notwithstanding the conflicting opinions of the medical profession, is said to be startling. It is said that one lady, the daughter of an ex-clerk of the Recorder’s Court, who was iven up as a consumptive by her medical attendant last summer, is now strong again.

Slowly and sadly the funeral procession of neighbors and friends proceeded to St. John’s Church, of which she had been & member for many years, the tolling of the bell giving an air of sadness to the whole scene.

Oh, we long to hear the singing Of that bright immortal throng, Hear the gold harps gladly ringing, In that happy land of song. Angels called thee, darling, Called thee in thy early bloom ; Now thy form is lying in the cold and silent tomb. Small white hands are gently folded, Quiet now thy busy feet ; Brightest eyes are closed forever, Gone the smiles that were so sweet, Angels called thee From all care and pain, away To the realms of bliss eternal, To that land of purest day.
