Duke of Connaught.

The usual application will shortly be|

made to the British Parliament for a vote! for the Dake of Connaught in consideration | -of his recent marriage. But it is under- |

stood the vote will be opposed on the! ground that the duke is already in receipt} ‘of an annuity of £20,000 from the con- ‘solidated fund, as well as his salary as | Lieut.-Colonel of the Rifle Brigade. The jtext of the marriage treaty has also been | published as a Parliamentary — paper, ‘aud the opposers ef the vote will use its (provisions as an additional argument ageingt | further expenditure. The treaty provides that the Duke shall secure to his wife £1,500 a year for her own private use: thathf her husband dies she shall have £6,000 an- nually, and that the Emperor of Germany shall give her a dowry of 30,000 marks, or £15,000, Itis argtied that all this taken together, will keep the young couple from poverty and enable them to live in moderate comfort, and that if there is any surplus in the treasury it might be better appropreat- ed to the relief of some of the suffering workinen. “>.- at Dartmouth. DISCOVERY OF A SKELETON THAT OF A DOCTOR THIRTY YEARS aGo. There is intense excitement at Dartmouth and Halifax over the discovery of a skeleton on Saturday afternoon by workmeu who were demolishing an oid house. ‘Thirty-two years ago Dartmouth and Halifax were greatlyex- cited over the mysterious disappearance of a Dr. McDonald. The doctor had a brother who was reported to be very wealthy, being a large real estate and property holder, with a wife and two children --asonand daughter. Shortly before the doctor’s sudden disappearance this brother had died, leaving a will wherein he gave his widow the power to dispose of the estate in any way she saw fit, and ap- pointing his brother sole executor. About this time the Doctor went to board with a truckman named Thorpe, on Black- house Hill. One night, after he had been boarding here for a short time, he suddenly disappeared and was never seen afterwards antil the finding of his remains on Saturday afternoou. The skeleton was found buried under the floor near the chimney. The morn ing after his disappearance his spectacles and small box were found on his room table. rhorpe. who is now living at River John, Pictou County, and several others, were ar- rested on suspicion, but as no evidence against them was procurable they were all discharged. It was supposed at the time that the Doctor had been murdered by some one in order to get possession of the will. which was in his possession; but whether this really was the case or not and what was the motive remains tv be shown. cities esti diteas dames WHoLesaLe Roppery.~-Sometime between Saturday night and Monday morning one of the boldest robberies known in Prince County was committed in Summerside. The Gents’ Furnishing Store of Mr. A. Y. Clark, on Cen- tral street, was entered by thieves, and robbed £ from $300 to $500 worth of goods. The thieves effected an entrance through a window ia the workroom, on the rear of the building, on St. Stephen street. A glass door divides the shop from the work room. This door was securely bolted, and in order to get into the shop the thieves smashed two panes of glass and then cut the wooden windew sash, making a sufficiently large hole for a man to crawl through with ease. The robbers then went to work, and succeeded in stripping the store of nearly all of its valuable contents. Webs of cloths, ready made clothing, a lot of ex- pensive jewelry, and even the shirt and collars displayed in the windows were taken from the boxes which held them and carried away. Mr. Clark bas suffered a very heavy loss, and it is doubtful whether he will ever find out the perpetrators of the robbery. As yet no-clue to their discovery has been fonnd. Mr. Clark offers $50 reward for any information that will iead to the apprehension of the thieves. — Journal.

2 A Sensation

SUPPOSED TO BE MURDERED OVER

After repeated changes in the Grand Viziership, the Sultan has assured the French Ambassador that the present Vizier shall not be removed. According’ to the “Figaro,” there have been, since Turkey collapsed, fourteen Ministers of the In- terior, eleven of Justice, eleven of Public Works, eleven of Agriculture, ten of Finance, ten of Publie Instruction, seven of Marine, seven of War, six of Foreign Affairs; and it is asserted, on good author- ity, that even this is below the mark, Ex. cept, perhaps, in Spain, such ministerial vicissitude |. without a parallel.

Tho Death-rate of Our country is getting to be fearfully al- arming, the average of life being lessened every year, without any reasonaovle cause, death resulting generally from the most 1n- significant origin. At this season of the year, especially, a cold is such a common thing that in -he hurry of every day life we are apt to overlook th» dangers attending it and often find. tco late, that a Fever or Lung trouble has already set in. Thou- sands lose their lives in this way every win- ter, while had Bosshec’s German Syrup been taken, a cure would have resulted, and a large bill from a doctor been avoided. For ali diseases of the Throat and Langs, Bos- chee’s German Syrup has proven itself to be the greatest discovery of its kind in medi- cine. . Every Druggist in this country will tell you of its wonderful effect. Over 950,- 000 bottles sold last year without a single

} failure known.

Epwarp SINNET, a well-known farmer and race-horse-man, of Brigetown, Ont., was found dead on the Canada and Southern Railway track, on Friday morning.

The gold production of Victoria last year was only 753,754 ounces, being a falling off from 1877 of 44,000 ounces, or between 5 and 6 per cent. The decrease ia the yield of the Victoria mines for a long series of years has been constant and considerable. In 1870, for example, the product was 1,222,798 ounces, which shows in intervals a dimunition of 467,- 000 eunces, or more than one-third.

The trial of McCabe and Dr. Bowers, for the murder of Mrs. McCahe, who died last Decem-. ber under suspicious circumstances, which has been. going on at Woodstock, Ont., for the past week at the assizes, resulted, at twelve o'clock on Saturday night, in the disagree- ment of the jury, who were accordingly dia- charged. ‘The prisoners were taken back to gaol, to stand trial before a fresh jury at the fall assizes.

In one house they threatened to blow out the brains of a woman if she disturbed them.

Why Will You

Allow a cold to advance in your system and thus encourage more serious maladies such as Pneumonia, Hemorrhages and Lung troubles, when an immediate relief can be so readily attained. Boschee’s German Syrup has gained the largest sale in the world for the cure of Coughs, Colds and the severest Lung Diseases. Itis Dr. Boschee’s famous German prescription, and is prez pared with the greatest care, and no fear need be entertained in administering it to the youngest child, as per directions. The sale of this medicine is unprecedented. Since first introduced there has been a con- stant increasing demand and without a single report of a failure to do its work in any case.
