Tux New Yor« Svorm.—The result of the stoppag: of trade by the recent blizzard in New York will be the loss to that city of over two and « half million dollars. The drifts in sume places were over five feet deep. Cab- men in some cases charged fifty dollars for comparatively short drives. One eccentric lady offered a like sum for a drive around Central Park, but her offer was deciined. An ice bridge formed across the East River, and the round passage between the two cities was enjoyed by thousands. The most ghastly feature of the blizzard was that the dead could not be promptly b:ried. All funerals were postponed, the cemetery authorities having notified the public not to attempt burial until the roads were cleared. Hearses with bedies in them were abandoned in the snow, though the mourners fought desperately in the storm before they gave up the task of reaching the graves.

The number of new vessels built and registered in the Dominion during the last year was 223, measuring 22,516 tons register tonnage. Estimating the value - of the new tonnage at $45 per ton, it rx 4 value of $1,013,220 for new vessels. large decrease occurred in the tonnage of Montreal leat, une registers of a number of the Allan steamers being transferred to Uleagow.

Srperian Parers.— Mr. Kennan’s Siberian papers, illustrated by @. A. Frost, who: accompanied Mr. Kennan on his trip through Asiatic Russia, will begin in the May Century.

This system is now to be minutely described and elaborately pictured ; and by way of perface to the first illustrated paper Mr. Kennan will, in a _ brief statement, answer the question as to how he came to enter upon his arduous and somewhat perlious investigations, and why he and his companion were accorded such extraordinary facilities by the Russian Government itself. Century Mr. Kennan will write of ‘‘ The pRussian Penal Code.”

Seott Act. Notes.

To-morrow is Scott Act day at the Stipen- diary Magistrate’s Court.

A despatch from London, Ontario, says: Constable McFadden, of Chandeboye, recently arrested Christopher Cusick on a charge of violating the Scott Act. Cusick, who is an old man, had lost both his feet and {had to crawl into jail on his hands and knees. Mc- Fadden has been summoned to answer a charge of inhuman treatment.

The Baralong Marriage Case.

A very curious case was recently de- cided by Mr. Justice Stirling in England. The question was whether the marriage of a young English gentleman named Bethell to a native African, one of the barolong tribe which inhabit Bechuanaland, was valid or not. the Boers in Bechuanaland and had, some

Baralong girl named Teepoo to wife, .acy cording to the rites of the Baralong tribe. The marriage ceremony is thus described’: ‘*‘When the consent of the parents has been obtained, the bridegroom slaughters a sheep, a buck, an ox or a cow. The heads of these animals are sent to the bride’s parents, as gis also the hide, whieh is cleaned and softened. The parties are then éonsidered married, and after the birth of

the first child, the number of cattle previously agreed upon is handed over to the wife's parents.’

The chiefs of the Baralong tribes were examined under commission and testified that according to the practice of the tribe aman may have several wives, the first however, being the principal wife. Justice Stirling held that the parties did not con- template a Christian marriage, the essence of which he held to be ‘“‘the voluntary union for life one man and one woman to the exclusion of all others,” and after a reference to the well known Canadian ease of Connolly and Woolrich, from which he distingnished the Bethell case, he decid- ed that the issue of the Baralong union was rot legitimate according to the English law. The decision has occasioned consider- able criticism jin England, and it is alto- gether likely that the kigher appellate courts will be called upon to pronounce on the question.

— rn Citizen George Francis Train has been invited by A. S. White, M. P. P., to pro-

ceed to Fredericton and address the mem- | bers of the legislature. Ss bs r m4
