A Young Canadian Found on the Verge' of Starvation at Detroit. - A last (Thursday) night's Detroit despatch says: A young Canadian named Harry Blackwell was found last night in • the office Of the old Theatre-Comique. A policeman was called, who said that when he went in where Blackwell was lying he was cold and stiff,toad at fleet he thought him dead. He had him conveyed to the Michigan. College of Medicine, where stimulants - were P administered to the sufferer. After some time he revied sufficiently to give his name, and related the following story: He had been taken sick on Sunday evening last, and was per. mitted to lie in the office of the Conaique, where he was found: He had not received nourishment, even a glass of water, since Sunday evening last; nor had he received any attendance from the people frequent- ing thereligiousmeetings which -are being held in that building, medical or otherwise. He was taken ill of painter's colic aT short time since, and had gone to the Michigan College of Medicine for treatment. • Sub- sequently he made his appearance at the Theater Comique building, and had been permitted to sleep in the office. Blackwell said his home was at Mitchell, Ont. It ni thought that he will recoverealthough he was apparently beyond all hope of resuscit- ation when taken 40. the college. . WA.ED ISLAND BOW: 'Se• rious Hist Among Kussian.netugees. A. last (Sunday) night's New York despatch says: A riot broke out this ?morning ' at Ward's Island among the Russian refugees, and threatened to sasunae dangerous propor- tions. A few policemen from the citywere sent to aid the officers, but thia merely served to fan the flame. A light epeueda and the officers clubbed a man senseless, and were routed, dragging their victim with them. A hundred policenaen were summoned and entered the affray with drawn clubs and revolvers. The Superin: tendeut, Henry Blank, received it scalp wound, and several refugees were severely bruised by the police. Two poliaemou were sliglitly. injured. At 9 p.m. all was reported quiet and no further trouble expected. There are 700 refugees on the island, 145 being then. The latter wake discontented at the confinement; and dis- liked Assistant Superintendent Shattuck on account Of his harshness. The ` -trouble arose at dinner. 1 Two emigrants were quarrelling, one of whom was ordered to leave the island, and another threatened Shattuck's life, when he sent for the police. The refugees then became excited, and the affray ensued. . • ' „ Detaining a Corpse tor A New York telegram says : A man named John Ryan, living in Watts street, this city, called on Dr.Nagle, of the' Bureau of Vital Statistics, to -day, in cempany with Mr. Egan, of the firm of Egan & Leake, undertakers, and stated that the Adame Express Company, No. 59 Broadway, had in their possession the body of his daugh ter, marked C.O.D., -which had :been sent on from St. Louis, and that they would not deliver it except upon the payment of, a bill of over a10011rom an undertaker in • St. Louis. Mr. Ryan stated that he offered the company the freight charges, but that he was unwilling to pa -a- the St. Louis undertaker's bill, as he knew nOthing about it., Dr. Nagle was requested to give an order on the company compelling them to give up the body. Mr. Ryan was directed to go to the nearest magistrate and state the case to him and he would give the necessary order, as it was unlawful in this State to detain a bodz for debt.

There are many so called household remedies which almost everybodY-knOws how to, use that cannot be excelled in usefulnees by any drug no matter how expensive or by what big sounding name it is known. The following letterfrom Mr. 0. McIntosh, of Irish Creek, N. S., illustrates the fact : " Last spring I commenced coughing and raising blood, I was much alarnaed, as all of father's family died of consumption. I coneulted two ' doctors and took • their medicines, but obtained no relief. Tried .Dr. Wilson's Pulmonary Cherry Balsam, I arahow well." If' this renaedy be used in the early stages of boughs, colds, inflam- mation of the lungs and other throat and lung diseases there would be no necessity of calling the doctor as often ae is now done.

In the armory- was found 14,000 stand of arms out of the total of 60,000 owned by the Domithon Govern-- ment. Among the curiosities were found arms of bygone ages used in some of the strifes of those days. The visit to the cartridge factory_was one of the greatest , interest. Thit factory is in fine working order, and will make the Dominion inde- pendent as far as manufacturing cartridges for 'Small arms is concerned of any othex country. The factory had been running but it few weeks when inspected, and was doing satisfactory work under the super- vision of Captain Prevost, who was sent by T the Government to Woolwichto etudy the science of cartridge making. The first lot of a half tnillion of cartridges is complete. A pretty eight at the evening aervice of it Church in.
