Prayer ror Rain.—At a prayer meeting held in the Methodist church at Fredericton, Monday night, all present joined in prayer for rain, Ere the meeting broke up rain com- menced to fall copiously, and the inmates, who had abundance of faith bat no umbrelias, re ceived a general drenching on the way home.

— Is there another town in America where the | surroundings of the public buildings are more | slovenly than in Charlottetown’?

The brake worked satis- factorily and it is expected the brake will be applied to allthe cars, With this brake, the | cars, when running at full speed, can be} stopped in much less time than with the vacuum brake.

Tax Aprie Crop.—There seems little doubt now that the apple crop this season is the shortest ever known. ‘The Southern States will hardly have enough to supply their local demand, in New England the crop is very short, the trees in Michigan, Ohio and the Central Western States have hardly any fruit at all, and on the Pacitic coast the supply is reported insiguificant. The crop in Canada is also pronounced a failure, the returns being greatly below the average. -—Scottish American. oe —

THe anniversary temperance meeting held in the Y. M. C. A. Hall on Saturday evening was but poorly attended. The Rev. Dr. Fitz- Gerald occupied the chair, and spirited) speeches were delivered by G.

Rev. Puitires Brookes has returned to Boston after fifteen months of foreign travel. His reception by the members of his congre- gation and by the citizens generally was very | hearty. Trinity Church was thronged on} Sunday last with an eager, though somewhat critical, audience. It had been reported during his absence that Mr. Brookes had modified somewhat his beliefs, But his first sermon was certainly in accordance with his old teachings, the only modification being in the direction of growth and freshness. How- ever, thisis nothing new to say of Boston's foremest preachers.

Miss Monro, so favorably known in St. John, is now in Pictou, where she will open a School of Cookery, if classes can be formed. The success which has attended Miss Monro’s lectures throughout the Provinces is so well known that it is highly probable the ladies of Pictou will gladly avail themselves of this op portunity to perfect themselves in the culinary art. Wath a few more missionaries like Miss | Monro, bad cooking would soon be eradicated | from the cities aad towns in the Proyincges by | thesea, Her Charlottetewn friends, and she | has lots of them, will be glad to learn of her success in Pictou,

Connecticut, a State that has had more sensational murder mysteries than its share, considering its size, has a new one. Rose Ambler, a young woman recently divorced from her husband, and engaged to be married to Wm. Lewis, was murdered bv the roadside near the little town of Stratford, and the efforts of several detectives have failed to discover the guilty party. She had been ona visit toher lover, and was returning alone, as was her custom, after parting with him at his mother’s gste. He is suspected of the erime by many, and has been openly denounced by one clergyman from the pulpit | a§ the probable murderer, but then no evidence | of his guilt has yet been produced. He was} furnishing a house for her, he had no other sweetheart, and she had no other lover. He was never heard to say that he was weary of her, and he is said to be of too cowardiy a dis- | position tocommit a murder, The detectives, | however, are bound to put some one on trial, and they may select Wm. Lewis as the man.

“Our Writp Inprans” is the title of a book | published by Col R. J. Dodge, which has | received on all sides a most favorable recep: | tion, In this work Col, Dodge aims to give a} truthful and minute account of “Our Wild Indians” of the present day; to vividly des cribe their actions, habits, customs, religion, manners, and amusements as practiced by them now in the uncivilized regions of their uninvaded country; to give graphic accounts of thrilling and exciting adventures among them; to narrate daring evploits and hair-

breadth escapes, not only from his own experience, but from that of other white men, and of Indians aleo; and to record

desperate encounters, hand-to-hand combats, sudden surprises, remarkable defences, and heroic achievements incident to frontier life. In all of this Col. Dodge has succeeded most admirably, and he has produced incompar- ably the most exhaustive and truthful account of ‘Our Wild Indians” ever written, and un- deniably one of the most thrilling and fascin-

ating books of personal darimg and rowan te ayvetuey ever Yulishvd,

Tue Fasiliers Ball to be held ia St. Joha during exhibition week promises to be a grand affair. Acceptances of invitation have been received by the officers of the Fusileers by a very large number of distinguished persons who intend to appear at the ball to be given at the Clarendod Hotel, next Friday. Among | the list are: The hon. the Minister of Militia, General Luard, Lieut.-Governor Wilmot and staff, Lieut.-Col. Taylor, D, A. G., and staff, the officers of the Princess Louise Fusiliers, Halifax; the officers of A Battery, Quebec; Lieut.-Col. A. Crewe-Read, 8. M., and Mayor Jones. It is expected that an English and United States man-of-war will be in St. John port that week, and if so their officers will | also be asked to participate in the festivities. |

To aditothe discomfort the gas lamp at Mr. Handrahan’s gate was unlighted, although it was very dark. While we are upon the subject we may call the attention of both the Civic authorities and the Gas Com- pany to the street lamps. Some of them are seldom lighted, others give a light about the size of a match flame, while others blaze away until the blaze cracks the glass. An expendi- ture of a little soap and water would make the flame more visible. We forget how the com- pany is paid for the street lamps, but some- body loses money by allowing those which are lighted to remain at full blaze until two hours after daylight, as was the case this morning.
