Iuuicrr Distrtnery.—Deacon Joseph Flint (colored) of Halifax, is chaplain of his lodge and a prominent Temperance worker. The officers raided his premises on Tuesday and discovered a whiskey still in full blast in his cellar, which he had rented to some ‘‘ white gentlemen,” about whose movements he “knew nothing.” The affair has caused an excitement in the church and the temperance bodies.

Henry Lawson, a young, unmarried man, employed at the Rolling Mill, at the N. 38. Iron Mines, was accidentally killed on Wed- nesday while cleaning out cinders near the Squeezer. It is supposed that the handle of his shovel caught in the wheel close by, caus- ing him to lose his footing, when he fell be- tween the edge of the wheel pit and szheel, wedging him into a narrow space. Death was instantaneous.

Heavy Loss sy Fire,—We regret to learn that Mr. Joseph Campbell, of Dundas, had a new barn with all its contents destroyed ly fire on the 9th ulé.

Inrense excitement and much uneasiness exists in financial circles in Montreal, owing to announcement of failure of the prominent dry goods house of T. J. Claxton & Co., who voluntarily assigned with liabilities of about three quarters of a million of dollars on Wed nesday. Indirect liabilities are: To Mer- ¢ ants’ Bank, $125,000 ; Molson’s Bank, $120, - v00; Consolidated, $75,000. Of direet liabi- lities $30,00 are to be English creditors and abont $20,000 to Canadians.

A better idea of the extent of the agvri- cultural depression in England is gained by observing the fall in rents than in any other way. Atarecent meeting at Devizes, in Wiltshire, it was stated that one landlady’s income from farm rents had been reduced from £950 to £650, or over thirty per cent., and in nine other cases rents had been re- duced from £680 to £446, £868 to £750, £358 to £250, £300 to £240, £450 te £400, £580 to £530, £225 to £180, £110, to £80, and £200 to £105.

Wuute the people of Canada, who take an interest in sporting matters, are congratulating themselves on the victories of Ross and Han- lan at the oar, and the fact that Canadians are able to teach the oarsmen of the mother coun- try how to row, sporting men in the United States, and newspapers like the New York Herald, are boasting of the victories of the American horse Parole. ‘These victories are, however, largely discounted by the fact that Parole, as a foreign horse, receives an_allow- ance of ten sae oe from his English rivals. After all, Parole’s victories are far behind those of Ross and Hanlan.

We are pleased to see that our young friends, Daniel D. Moore and John W. Wad- man—both of this city—distingnished them- selves at the closing exercises of the Mount Allison College. A correspondent of the St. John Sun says: ‘‘ The salutatory addresses in Latin were delivered by J. W. Wadmaa, who held the close attention of the audience dur- ing the delivery of the salutatory, eliciting frequent applause, and evoking occasional bursts of laughter by his humorous touches. ° . . The next eration was deliv- ered by D. D. Moorre, of Charlottetown, on ‘The Romantic in the Elizabethan Age,’ a well-drawn historical picture, sketching the

litics, the literature, the discoveries, the ashions and the manners of the age of the last of the Tudors,” Both of these young gentlemen received the degree of B, A.
