PEDESTRIANISM.—After the finish of the twenty-four-heur race, in Broadway Hall, Chelsea, a fifteen mile run took place, in which there were ten centestants. The prizes were to the first $10 and to the second $>. The first prize was won by M. J. Happeny of Prince Edward Island, the secoud by Andrew J. Kierns of Natick, and the third place was taken by Andy Hines of Hast Boston, a bey of eleven years. Young Hines started on a run, and kept it up during the whole fifteen miles. A purse of $8 was made up for him by the audience.

i’ripay’s market was the largest fer three months. Sales were brisk at thé follewing prices: Beef (small),6 to 12 cts. per lb; beef (qr.) from 44 te 8 cents per lb.; mutten, from 6 to 10 cents per lb.; pork (small) from 7 to ? cents; pork (per-carcass) from 5 to 64 cente; turkeys, from 80 to $1.50; geese, from 50 to 60 cents each; fowls, from 20 to 25 cents per pair; butter (fresh) from 20 to 2 cents per lb.; butter (tab) from 18 te 20 cents per lb.; ducks 20 to 25 cents per pair ; eg.:s from 12 to 14 cents per doz.; veal, from 3 to 8cents per lb.; Potatoes, from 14 to i6 cents per bushel ; Oatmeal, from $2.50 to $3; flour, from $3 to $3.25; hay, from 45 to 50 cents per 100 lbs.

Tur Grrr Bazaar.—The Patriot states that at the Presbyterian Church Bazaar held last week, ‘‘ the Tories were num- bered” in an election for a feotstool, be- tween Grits and Tories. Party contests of a political character are novelties te which our people have hitherto been strangers at Church Bazaars, and when it will be remembered that the meving spirits in this contest were vielent and un- scrupuleus Grits, ne ene will wonder at the result. Ifthe ‘‘ Tories failed to vote ” for the foetsteel, we think it will be admitted by those under whose auspices the Bazaar was held that the handsome sum realized was owing principally to Tory contributien. —Com.

Forcsry.—Alexander Pindikowsky, 42, fresco painter, Poland, was arraigned on Thursday en a charge of attempting to ‘‘ utter forged checks upen the Commercial Bank.” Pindikewsky, it seems, handed to Mr: Ceoke a check for £232, to which was atiached the name of Ezra Weedon, Esq., chief of the Anglo American Telegraph Company’s Staff, Meart’s Content. Mr. Cooke's suspicions being aroused, he de- clined to pay the amount and returned the check. Pindikowsky subsequently attempt- ed to utilize another check, this time fer £65, with the same name attached ; but, fortunately, the second effort was no more successful than the first. Mr. Inspector Carty was communicated with, and on Wednesday evening he and his active assistant Sergeant Sullivan, arrested Pin- dikowsky in a Coffee House and escorted him to the Lock-up. He Was committed for further examination.—St. John’s, Nfld. Telegram.

The Pindikosky above referred to is well known in this city. On his departure from here he was anxiously seught after by numerous creditors.

Dsata or Sistex Sr. Acnes.—That death loves a shining light is true in this as well as many other instances. The sad intelligence ef the death of Sister St. Agnes, of Assissiums, Congregation De Notre Dame, Montreal, has been received by her serrowing mother, Mrs. Major Allan Mac- denald, Jessie’s Grove, Lower Montague. Sister St. Agnes took sick on the 5th ult,, and on the 22nd died of inflammation,

superinduced by measles, at Point Clair, P. Q., whither she had been sent for the benefit of her health. The deceased was enly nineteen years of age. During her ill- ness she was attended by her uncle, Father

Ronald Macdonald, her sister, St. Cather- ine of Sweden, two priests and and eleven

nuns, besides the most appreved medicai skill. Her remains were buried on the morning of the 24th, under the Church of Our Lady of Pity, where all the sisters have their burial. In offering consela- tion to her afilicted mother, Sister St Mary Antvinette remarks: ‘If you had seen her during her illness, you could not but be consoled in your grief, and rejoice in being the mother of such a privileged child.” — Advertiser,

Mr Ephraim Craig was then appointed Docr Keeper for the ensuing quarter, A vote was tendered to the Chairman, and the meeting quietly dispersed.

Hunter River Halli, April 6, 1880.

A victim of our Bankrupt Courts has handed us fellewing instructive cerres- pondence from the Alonetary Times, under the appropriate heading of ‘‘A natural out- growth of the custem of compromise settle- ments,” the San Francisco Country Mer- chant prints the letters which follow. The legislature of that State were considering an insolvency bill, which had an objection- able insolvency clause in it, and this clause the paper in question opposed, with so much foree, as to evoke a feeling of opposition among California gnerchants to its passage, to get it expunged by the Judiciary Com- mittee of the Legisiature :

OROVILLE, Butte Co., Cal., } Feb. 5th, 1880. Messrs. —-— , Sacramento, Cal.

One of my creditors, becoming unnecessar- ily alarmed, attached me eon the 27th ult., and to protect, or to give my creditors an equal chance, I have filed my papers in insel- vercy. My liabilities are about 36,300, assets about $1,200. I propese to settle with my ecrediters at ten cents on the dollar, giving my note for ninety days, so as to give mea chance to get the money from the east. This 1 think will be the best for all eoncerned, for if my creditors force me through insolvency, there will be nothing left after paying ex- penses. Yours Respectfully,

tact

To which letter the jobber replied in the

following spicy terms : SacrAMENTo, Cal., Feb. 6th, 1880.

Mr. , Oroville, Dear Sir: Your sin- gular letter is received. We don’t think, by your showing, that the firm you name were much out ef the way in attaching you, as it is quite necessary te clean up an institution that has eaten up about 75 cents on the dollar. All we blame you fer is for not getting away with the entire thing. We are not golug to make you respectable by settling with yeu for ten cents on the dollar. We don’t fear any bank- rupt court. If you have got any kind ef a court up there that can get away with any

| portion of what you have ieft befgre you do,

we think they deserve the thanks of all the creditors, and the community besides. Just think of the offer you make, ten cents on the dollar, and ninety days. Think of taking your note for $1.80 for ninety days. Send us your likeness. Yours Truly. --—

Forbidden Animals.

An English exchange has the following par- agraphs :—

It appears that the sale, or exposure for sale, of Swine, in or at any market, fair, anc- tion, sale-yard, or exhibition in the county of Buckinghamshire, has been prohibited from the 8th March to thegl0th April, in comse- quence of a baneful disease having broken out amongst them ; and that the same disease has also shown itself amongst the swine in Sem- ersetshire and Devonshire, where the authori- ties have made the same order, prohibiting the sale of this forbidden food, and it is also stated that the baneful disease, whatever it may be, has also exhibited itself in hares.

What is this signifieant of, but that we, as Teraclites, are to be made acquainted through the ravages of disease in these forbidden ani- mais, that the ancient law laid down (see Le- viticus and Deuterenomy) for the guidance of God’s chosen people is still in force, has never been repealed or made void,

It is alse stated that the Spanish Govern- ment have prohibited the importation of swine from Germany and the United States.

Aquatic Nores.—Wallace Rosa is kard at work en the Charles River, Beston, in preparing for the international professional boat-raceon the 17th ef June. Fred. A. Plaisted defeated John C. Sullivan, of New Orleans, a few days ago, winning 18600. Warren Smith is said to be particularly anxieus to get on a match with J. H. Riley for $1,000 a side. The opinion gains ground that Courtney will not ‘‘ come to time” in ‘* Hop Bitters” contest in May, and that the race will be between Hanlan and Riley. Sydney Edmonds, the champion earsman of Melbourne, whe recently defeated Lay- cock and Rush and rowed second te Trick- ett in the Balmain regatta, has challenged Trickett te row a five-mile race, to take place at Melbourne, for #200 a side.

A Gallant Captain.

LEAPING OVERBOARD IN A GALE OF WIND-— A GAME OF ‘* FOLLOW MY LEADER.”’

An act of fearless humanity was lately performed by the captain of Her Majesty’s ship Invineible, Hon. Edaaund Freemantle, C. B. Of late this man-of-war lay in the harbor of Alexandria. From Alexandria the Invincible was erdered te Aboukir Bay, a passage which leads across the Nile mouths in a shallow and often turbulent sea. Our ironclad was steaming about seyen knots to the hour, the lead going in the chains, when one ef the leadsmen, as weuld appear, slipped eut from his braces, and fell into the rolling waves. At once the ery ef ‘‘ man overboard” rang though | the ship, and all the necessary measures were taken which good discipline and mari- time knowledge prescribe. Theengines were stopped and reversed, the life-buoys loosed frem bridge and taflrail, while the beats were called away, manned, and lowered with the utmest premptitude. But the poor fellow who had slipped overboard still held, or had managed to lay held of, the lead-line, the consequence being that, although kept up in the water, he was dragged below its surface by the vessei’s metion. This would be the natural effect of a line mace fast; for every sailor is aware that a rope must be paid out frem a craft under weigh when a drowning man has hold of it. After a very little while of this submersion the unlucky blue-jacket became ehoked by the sea, and, letting go his grasp, floated, insemsible and already half-dead, astern of the “Invincible,” with his head dropping wider water. Captain Freemantle, who was watching what was going on from the bridge, understoed in a moment that any delay must cost his poor seaman’s life. The beats were not quite clear of the falls; the ship’s momentum would take her farther and farther from him, while another minute of that helpless suffocation must give them back only a dead body. Without an instant’s hesitation, therefore, the gal- lant oflicer sprang inte the waves—just as he steed, in cap, coat, boots and all—and striking out hard and straight for his ebject, reached the spot to find his man slowly sinking from sight. He caught him up, got his head clear of the sea, and so with great dificuliy held the drowning blue-jacket during the interval occupied in the arrival of assistance. Help, ef course, soon came. Sub-Lieutenant Moore and the _ black- asmith’s mate, Cunningham, were the first two wirose brave hearts sent them ever- board to lend the captain a hand. These gallant fellows, nevertheless, only just swam up in time, fer the captain’s boets and heavy clothes were dragging him hard, and it wasa glad moment when the boat flew near and took all four safe from the water. Captain Edmund Freemantle had won the prize. The life for which that noble rescue had been dared was seon brought back with careful treatment, and the captain, after a little rest, was quickly himself again. Thus was her Majesty on a stormy day last month spared the loss of a good sailor, and thus did Captain Free- mantle of the Invincible show himself best man of the ship, as he was already her first and greatest.— London Telegraph.

Major Vessey of Glonbern, Galway, Ire- land, gained the ill will of the Irish labor- ers about him, and a few weeks ago, at night, seven acres of clever were dug up 80 as to render them worthless for pasturage. It is estimated that at least 200 men were engaged in the laborious and novel method of revenge.
