Killed for 25 Cents rE OVER A FISHING NEAR OTTAWA.

The dispute over the charge of 25 cents four fishing privileges in a small creek that runs through the farm of Daniel Markle, in the township of Moro, a few miles from Orangeville, Ont., has resulted in the death of James Scott and the arrest of Henry Atkinson, on the charge of manslaughter. Atkinson is a prominent and prosperous farmer in the County of Dufferin. He went with a friend to fish on the 13th ult., and was met on the bank of the creek by Scott, who stated that he had been author- ized by Markle to collect a fee of 25 cents trom all who came to fish. Atkinson re- fused to pay the fee and high words and threats ensued, and although the reports are contradictory, they seem to ‘avor the view that Scott undertook to press his claim by force. Atkinson then threw a stone at Scott, striking him behind the left ear. The stone weighed about fifteen pcunds and the blow made a fracture as large as a Cana- dian cent and knocked him senseless. It was not generally supposed that the injury was of a serious character and Atkinson was proceeded against for assault, but on Mon- day night Scott died, and Markle, who was the deceased’s father-in-law, made a charge of manslaughter. Atkinson is greatly de- pressed over the unfortunate affair, but be- lieves that he will be acquitted, as he says Scott was rushing at him with an uplifted club and making wild threats, when he threw the stone in self-defence.

GREAT DAMAGE TO PROPERTY. The Trains Stopped.

Exmira, N.SY., May 2.

The water here last night rose froma foot to a foot and a half higher than ever before known. The Erie Ruaiiway bridge was anchored in its place last night by two trains loaded with freight cars. The water rose, to the cars, and acting asa dam, forced the water back through the city on the north side of the Chemung River, where the principal business houses are lo- cated. The water covered the streets two or three feet, causing thousands of dollars worth of damage. On the south side of the river the waters were held in check for sev- eral hours by a 10ft. railway embankment. Late in the evening two thousand feet of embankment was forced away. The water carried the railway tracks and everything else before it. An extensive lumber yard was swept away. People living in flats were rescued with great difticulty. The damage to property in this city and vicinity is estimated at halfa million dollars. Thir- teen lives are said to be lost at Carning.

JOHNSTOWN, Pa., June 2.

The situation is not changed, and yester- day’s estimate of the loss of life is not ex- aggerated. Six hundred bodies are lying in Johnstown. A large number are already buried. Four immense relief trains ar- rived last night. The survivors are well

A Bory Robknery.—The Summerside Pioneer reports that Mrs. McA rthur, of the Wolseley House had the misfortune to have about $40 stolen from her last Wednesday forenoon. Her cash box is fastened to one end ot «a counter which has a partition about eighteen inches high separating it from the dining room, and the thief must have reached over, lifted the keys which were lying near, picked out the right one and opened the box, Although there was also a quantity of silver nothing was taken but the bank notes. This is a pretty bold robbery for the time of day at which it was done, —_-—_?>
