vpon which Prince Edward Island was admit- ted to the Canadian confederation,— Halifax Herald, ical Tne Kentville Chioni says :—J Hicks of Lower Gianville, met with a serious acci- dent under somewhat peculiar circumstances. He was to have been married to an estimable young lady, and on Friday week he went to Annapolis for the purpose of securing his marriage license, Haviog accomplished his object he ret ont to return, but had not gone far when he fell, striking his head and so injuring his brain that be has since been a raving maniac. Ile is very v olent and was taken to the insane asylum last Wednesday, It is said the intended bride fee's her posi- tion keenly, being overwhelmed with grief because of the terrible trouble which has come "pon them. —--.> THB market to-day was small and poorly stocked, both inside and ont- side, The following are the prices :— Beef (small) 5 to 10 cts per Ib; do per gtr 4to7 cts; mutton, 5 to 8 cents; pork (carcass) 4 to 5 cents; pork (smal!) 6 to § cts; lamb, 6 to 8 cts;ham, per lb. 13 to 14 ets: fowls, each, 25 to 35 cts; butter (fresh), 23 to 26;do (tub) 18 cts; eggs, ber doz, 10 to1l2 cts; ducks, per pair, 70 to 75 cts; flour per 100 Ibs, $2.25 to $2.75; oatmeal, do, $2.30 to $2 50: oats, 32 to 33 cts; hay per 100, 55 cts; potatoes, 18 to 20 cts; geese, 50 to 70; cabbage, per doz, 35 to 50; turnips, per bush, 12 to 13cts; apples, per bush, 64cts; veal, 3 to 7c per Ib; turkeys, 50c to $1,75; wild geese $1. er A Mysrery.—Five or six weeks ago, two boys searching for gum in the woods between Westville and Fox Brook, Pictou County, N S., found in an old wood road two valises and an empty basket, All the articles were partly embeddet by ice and snow, showing that they had been left in the place where found in the fall or early winter. Both valises had keys in them attached by a piece of string, One was empty and the other contained two pairs of vants, a hat, all new, a pair of cuffs, a briar- root pipe, four figs of tobacco, and a few other small articles, while close by. banging on s bough. was founda shirt. Nothing about the articles fourd indicates the owner, or where they came from. Whocan unravel the mys- tery ?— Pictou News ht iaie. Escargep.—About dusk Saturday evening two prisoners (Ebenzer Crossman and Levi Morrel) escaped from Summerside jail The turnkey was in one of the celle fixing a lamp, when the prisoners (who evidently had been watching for such opportanity) slammed the door and also the hallway door (both doors self. locking), rushed out into the yard, and with the help of a piece of board,climbed over the wall and made tracks for the west. They were hotly pursned for halfa mile or so, but getting into some wood, and darkness coming on, the chase was given up. Next morning the Deputy Sheriff telegraphed to O’Leary, and aiso sent a handcar with Mr. Barnard and a constabulary force in search of the prisoners. Whether secured or not every possible dilligence is being used for their re- capture. They had been in jail since January 21, waiting trial at June Court, the offence was theft — Pioneer.

G. W. Smalley cables from London to the New York Tribune as follows :

The English and Scotch opposition to Home Rule has been growing more and more pronounc- ed all the week, When Gladstone announces next Thursday the provisions of the bill to amend the future government of Ireland, he will have to deal with three or four sets of opponents, those opposed to Home Rule in any form, those opposed to a separate Parliament, those opposed to Home Rule with land purchase and those opposed to Home Rule without land purchase. It is now ex- pected all these heterogenous forces will be marshalled under the joint leadership of Hartirg- ton and Chamberlain. Great efforts are being made to induce Hartington to abstain frem active opposition, The Tories on the other hand profess themselves ready to follow the Liberal leaders. Lord Salisbury returned to London on Monday, The tory plan of campaign favors close co-oper- ation with anti-home Rule Liberals. The Stand- ard publishes a strong appeal for united action and strongly deprecates any attempt of the Tories to assume the responsibility for the con- duct of the debate. Chamberlain will follow Gladstone, then Trevelyan.

An Insane Woman’s Act.

A sad and shocking affair took place near London, Ont., on the 2nd, inst., at the residence of Nathan Griffith. Mrs. Griffth rose about four o’clock, and securing a razor, went to the bed where her husband was sleeping and inflicted two large gashes in his throat and then retired to her own room. Griffith, aroused by the shock, man- aged to arouse the neighbors. Medical aid was secured and his wounds were stitched, Though very low from loss of blood his re- covery is very probable. Mrs. Griffith’s mental condition for some time has been weak, and religious excitement is said to have been the cause of her terrible act. The relations between Griffith and his wife have always been of the most amicable nature. Mrs. Griffith says her desire was to kill her husband and go preaching.

An Afflicted Family.

Says the Amherst (Gazette: About two months ago Mr. William Lusby died after avery short illness. Since that time, a daughter—Mrs. Harrington, of Antigonish —died; a few weeks ago, Mrs. Lusby, who had been crippled by a fall last autumn, and was beginning to go about the house with a crutch, was suddenly stricken down by heart disease, and yesterday morning, another daughter—Mrs. Wilbur Freman — living in the same house, died. All the deaths occurred on Thursday, which shows that there are other unlucky days besides Friday.

Robbery and Bloodshed.

Advices from British Columbia estate that, since the enforcement of the Chinese re- striction act, Chinamen have manifested their indiguation by robbery and bloodshed among the white settlers. The Local Legislature has passed an act, which will be inserted in every private bill before it can receive the Lieutenant Governor's assent, in effect that there is to be a direct understanding tbat po Chinese, directly or indirectly, are to be employed by the com- pany or upon any work to which the bill refers. A penalty of $25 for each Chiaa- men so employed is provided.

BRADSTREET'S.

Bradstreet’s, the weekly financial and com- | mercial newspaper, published by The Bradstreet Mercantile Agency, is now in its thirteenth volume, and stands at the head of all the financial | and commercial periodicals of this country, and | is surpassed by none in Europe. In the twelve | volumes already issued can be found more ori- ginal and carefully prepared matter—facts and fizures—relating to business topics than can be found in any other periodical for the same period, Nor is it surprising that it has reached and main- tains this position, for itis owned and published by a large cOrporation-—The Pradstreet Company, with its cash capital and assets of over $1,400,000, its nearly 100 branch offices, and its smali army of over 1,600 salaried emptoyes and 65,009 regular correspondents, This organization makes exten- Sive investigations into industrial and other mat- ters, gathers full reports of the condition and prospects of the leading crops, and exhibits regu- larly the state of business, practically making Bradstrect’s the authority as to the condition and prospects of the commercial world. It needs but a glance at the newspaperyto satisfy any one that its publishers have been ambitious more than avaricious, for in no way are its pages made up to cater to the popular taste or to serve the purposes of loud or insinuating advertisers. No trivial or sensational matters are to be found in its col- umns, but the whole 900 large pages a year are so solidly packed with news, reports, discussions, decisions and data as to make Bradstreet’s an acceptable and almost indispensable journal for progressive business men.
