Mittver has jast finished a well-executed cil painting of the Post Office Building on Fire. Mr. Millner, being a per- sonal eye-witness of the building when illuminated by the fire-fiend, has of course “sketched it to the life.” emivepinadinn BCILOtvé operations have commenced on the South Side Queen Square, and the plat- forms there are impassable. Would it not be wellfor builders to lay a narrow plankway aloug the enclosure, and thereby make the way of the pedestrian safe and comfortable? tegen Tue Northern Light is still in Georgetown harbor, and Georgetown hotels and private boarding houses are crowded with travellera, commercial aud otherwise, waiting to take passage in her. The harbor is blocked with ice, and the indications at present are the steamer will not have a chance to move for a few days to come. sctiealiahsegaan Tux Post Office as at present situated, is very inconvenient to those who live at the upper end of the city. In order to remedy this matter and save a tiresome tramp to thoze who live at the north and west ends, we suggest that a letter box be placed at Apothecaries Hall, where stamps can now be obtained. This would be a convenience which we think would be appreciated by all. oe Beware of canned tomatoes. On Friday last three members of a family in this city partook rather freely of these preserves. As w consequence they were seriously —one almost fatally—poisoned. Dr. Jenkins was called to their relief. Two have fully recovered, and one remains quite sick from the effects. Too much care cannot be taken in the examination of imported preserves befere they are placed, for use, on our tables. _—— “* Tuerk is luck in odd numbers.” Goose- shooting has not been as good or profitable this as in previous seasons. Most of our young men went off to their respective ice- houses in odd numbers, that ‘‘luck” might not go against them. They have mostly returned and we have had the pleasure of meeting several of them with faces tanned like dried lemons skins. On making the enquiry : ‘How many geese did your party get’ ”’ the answer would invariably be: ‘‘Fifty-three.” No amourt of cross-examination could make them diverge from this number. So well has it been adhered to that some people are in- clined to believe that the geese before flying north, in convention, passed a law enacting that any flock loosing more than fifty-three of the number at any one ice-house shall be subject te fines or penalties. The geese wisely used the odd number fifty-three, that luck might be with them. They appear to be 4s wise aa ordinary sportsmen. , on .-——~- Tue death of the maa Trainor at North Wiltshire is, if we are to believe the reports from that place, enshrouded in are. A verdict by the coroner's jury, re ed op Monday last, was to the effect that Trainor came to his death by “drinking too much liquor.” The parents and friends of sthe deceased are not satisfied with the verdict. They assert that the deceased was foully murdered. In response to a request, the Attorney-General sent Dr, Jenkins on Satur- day last to investigate the matter; but no new light is shown, as the doctor bad not full power toact, and as Dr. Wall was satistied that, as Coroner, he did his duty. Meantime it is reported that Trainor had only spent an honr among the convivialists at North Wilt- shire. During that time a row took place and a man who came to the door of the rum _ hole was heard saying: “I have settled Trainor.” We have not heard the reports corroborated by any good authority, but we think, as the case stands, it is one which requires in- vestigation. eel Mr. Avuseey Hamrvron has become editor of the Ottawa Free Press, vice Carroll Ryan, resigned. Mr. Hamilton is a son of P. 8. Hamilion, formerly of Halifax, now editor of the Port Moody, B. C. Gazette, and brother of P. =t. ©. Hamilton, of the Yarmouth J'imea.

The largest liquor seizure ever made in the Province of New Brunswick under the new license act was made at Fredericton on the 15th inst., by Inspectors Belyea and Roberts, at the residence of Mr. James Tennant, grocer, a short distance above Government House. Eleven casks and a large number of cases, principally of whiskey, were taken from the cellar of his house; no liquor was found in his place of business, which lies across “the yard from his residence. The quantity seized filled two large slovens, that were on hand to carry it away, and its value is variously estimated at between one and two thousand dollars. Mr. Tennant, who was in town when the liquor was first seized, put in au appearance before it was carried away. it was brought down and stored in a bonded warehouse in the Randolph block, in front of which a large crowd gathered. There are various rumors current about probable litigation over the seizure, Mr. Tennant having a large number of friends. a erm Svicrpe.—A young man by the name of James Boylan, who had been living with Mr. Owen McGarry, New Ross Road, Kentville, N.
