Nine hundred persons died ofrom sipall- pox during July at Santiago de Chili. Aa indian chief, 10j74ears old, died last week on a roadaide, att Providence Bay, Algoma. Evans, the absconding G. T. R. agent at $or\Dalhousie; is said to havegot away wile $2,895. Mottle ranches in Canadian North-west are reported more prosperous this year than those in the United Staten. Swearing is wholly unknown in Japan, The worst word a Japanese ever applies to a man whom he dislikes is "beast." 'Collector Cavan, of Stratford, and Ulcer Lang, of Neustadt, seized an illicit still in the toweahip of Sullivan, County of Grey, dnd arrested the owner. ' John Burke, aged 32, was Gent to gaol at Jersey City for drjinkenneas. He re- fused to partake of food from the time of incarceration,and deed on Monday from starvation. On Saturday last J. L. Sturdy, of the Queen's Hotel, T3arriston, pleaded guilty to an offence against the Scott Act. He waefned" $50 aid coats.— Phiiip Malone, of Arthur, on the same day was also fined $50 and coats by Police Magistrate Lowes. A. disgraceful piece of vandalism took place at the Central Prison grounds, To- ronto, Friday night. The grounds -con- tained many choice selections of dowers and plants, grape vines and a large quan- tity of vegetables,, which were all ruthless- ly destroyed and scattered about the grounds. . �r .Lieense.Inspeotor Fisher paid an official ''visit to Palmerston jest night. While put-. ting his horse up at one of the hotels a stranger came up and asked him if he was the License Inspector, Being answered in the aiffi.rmative, he dealt him a aebere blow with a club, cutting him on the head .and shoulders. His injuries are not serious. The stranger, whose name is at present un-_ known, escaped. A11 efforts to stamp out hog choleras' which broke ofJt in Essex County last fall, have been futile. The disease started on the lake aboro, and for several months it was confined to Malden, Rochester and one or two of the neighboring municiplities. The Govermnient took measures to cheek it and when winter set in there were hopes •that'its worst ravages were past. With the advent of spring, however the disease again broke out, and it has been spreading slowly up into the northern townships. Just now it is raging in a very virulent type in East Sandwich and is killing hogs' by the hundreds. '(5ne•fariner lost 23 last week, 'another 17, and another 13. A few days ago, as Mr. Everingham, of Canboro', near here, was scraping a water hole for his cattle he came upon the re- mains of a mastadon. One of the vertebrae, in a good state of preservation, was given to Dr. McCallum to be placed in his -col- lection of relics. This makes the third of these long extinct animals found nearheie within a few years. The -last one wag found on the farm of Mr. Wardell, of the same township. In one of his fields wawa large snag which had been ploughed about for years. At last a fire was placed about it to burn it opt, but not burning well a spade was used, when it proved to be a tusk 0 flet long, and in spite of ill usage, was well preserved.—Dunnville Press. A driver cf a Newark police van was sent to the jail to bring an Italian prisoner down to the police court to meet his friends, who offered to bail him. The driver went to the jail, and got his man', but neglected to deliver him at the court. Five hours later, when the prisoner was wanted by Justice Roder, the driver was questioned. He suddenly remembered that be had put the van in the stable with the man locked inside. He said he forgot all about him. When the van was opened the.Italian was found sitting disconsolate' in the corner. Ho didn't imagine he had. been abused. He seemed to think it was the regular New Jersey way . of` dealing, with prisoners. A last Saturday night's Brantford des- patch says : Saturday afternoon, between 5 and CA o'clock, a man' called at the red- -deuce of Mr. Geo. Masseear, Wellington etreet,-rang the bell, which was answered by Mrs. Masseear. and inquired if Mr. Masseear was home. Mrs. Masseear replied . . no, but she expected him shortly and re quested the stranger -to. wait . till . he came He said he would call again, and asked for a glass of water. Mrs. Massecar turned' to get the water, but -no sooner had she turned than the stranger shot her. She fell to the floor unconscious. On regaining conacious- nesse she found the door,olosed and the man gone. She managed' to alarm one of the neighbors, who came' to' her assistance, and a doctor was immediately summoned.^The ball struck the thick part of tiie left aria between the shoulder and the elbow. No serious result is anticipated. The stranger was about 35 years of age; dressed in black clothes. None of the neighbors nor chit dren playing around the house saw' they man nor l.eard the shot fired, • I Tho turbulent waters of the-Niagal'a. whirlpool rapids were again navigated hi a cask on Sunday, the rerilous feat being successfully accomplished by two mon. The daring voyagers were William,'potts and George Hazlitt, who Were employed in the same shoji with Graham, who made the initial trip about three weeks ago. The barrel boat was ten fent long,-- conical in from, and built of the beet locust staves. It was supplied with a keel, rudder, sorewa wheel and a turret with glass covered peep,L holes. About 300 pounds. of sand ballast *kept it right side up moat of` the time. The two men lay back to back, while pass- ing through the: more' turbiilehb water:, clinging to bands made faat to the aides of the cask. Each was likewige kept on his own aide of the staples. The'^start was made from the "Maid'of tho landing," on the Canada side, at 4,25 p.m. A row boat towed the cask to a point just above the cantilever bridge, where it was turned adrift in the middle of tie stream. The novel craft was submerged about half the time while passing through the- rapids, but while circumscribing the outer circle of the whirlpool the occupants thrust their heads through h the opening, And Potta calmly smoked a cigar. A successful landing wait made at Queonston, on the Canada side, five miles further down the river. Tho entire voyage occupied fifty-five minutes The feat was witifessecl by no less thin 150 000 spec'ators IOP NOTES. " 'Tho Louisiana riga crop is said to be the beat for years. awing to rainy weather in Russia diet'. Ing the past fortnight, grain ie rotting in fields and farmers aregt'eatly..d pressed. The wheat, crop of France is estimated at 106 million hectolitres, against110 mil. lion last year, ,[An hectolitre is equal to 10 bushels) Advices from nearly every station in Manitoba and the Northwest indicate that the harvest 'will be nearly finished this week. AU reports agree to the superior quality of the'grain, although the average yield will be likely under 20 bushels..
