Tue death of Arthur Hay, Marquis of Tweeddale is announced. He was born in 1824, and was therefore 54 years of age at the time of his decease. His eldest son, Viscount Walden, succeeds him. The Mar- quis of Tweeddale is a peer of Scotland, but is not a Scottish representative peer. The title was created in 1894, during the reign of William IIL.

Tae Picrov Warsor.—The Standard says :—The harbor is now covered with thin ice, which a cold night would speedily make strong. The Mayjflower has no trou- ble as yet in making her regular passages. The Northern Light makes regular trips with the mails to Georgetown. The lakes in the vicinity are stongly covered with ice, and also the rivers. Cariboo harbor is suf- ficiently strong for foot passage. The weather, though very cool, has not yet been of real winter severity, and has been a fitting continuation of the exceptionally pleasant autumn.

Awsoruex internal trouble has arisen in Russia—an open outbreak among the Tar- tars of Kazan. The kingdom of Kazan was originally peopled by Finns, who were driven out by the Tartars. In 1552, Ivan Vassilievitch II., by the taking of Kazan, destroyed the Tartan power and annexed the territory to Russia as a kingdom. Sub- sequently, Peter the Great divided the kingdom into five governments. Late de- spatches state that the first Russian force sent against the insurgents has been re- pulsed with heavy loss.

WE are informed that the tea and enter- tainment given by the Orange Young Britons, on New Year’s night, was in every respect a perfect success. At the enter- tainment, addresses were delivered by the Rev. J. M. MecLaod, Rev. K. McLennan, aud Mr. Crossman, the W. M. of the O. Y. B. Lodge, Summerside. Mr. George Mc- Gregor occupied the chair. Mr. McNeill’s and Miss McPhail’s readings were admir- ably rendered and well received. Miss Addie Tanton’s solo, entitled ‘‘ Come Back to Erin,” was rendered in most excellent style. The duett by Miss McPhail and Miss Irving, entitled ‘‘ Murmuring Seas, was given in good style; also the solo by Miss Bella McDonald, entitled “ Hard Times Come Again No More.” Miss Bella McNeill presided at the organ. Recitations were well rendered by Messrs. Geo. Harris, Crossnan and Henderson. The entertain ment came to a close by singing ‘‘ God Save the Queen,” and the audience dis- persed, well pleased with the evening’s en- joyment. Too much praise cannot be given to the young ladies who presided at the tables and took part in the entertainment.

The People Want Proof.

There is no medicine prescribed by physi cians, or sold by Druggists, that carries such evidence of its success and superior virtues as Boscuger’s German Syrur for severe Coughs, Colds settled on the breast, Consumption, or any disease of the Throat and Lungs. A proof of that fact is that any person afflicted, can get a Sample Bottle for 10 cents and try its superior effect before buying the regular size at 75 cents. It has lately been introduced in this country from Germany, and its wonderfu. cures are astonishing everyone that use it.
