Dr, Moore, of„Dorchester.
And now comes the report that Dr. Moore,
of Dorchester Station, about whom such a
sensation was created some two weeks ago,
has raised all the excitement for the purpose
of eloping with a woman. He is said to be w
in East Saginaw with his fair inamorata. T
His story of murderous bands and fears of
being assassinated were -,,concoctions of his
own brain to cover Ms escapade. Medical
men must crave a fondness for assassination,
especially when there; is a woman in . the
ease. It is reported that this quiet village
of Exeter came near losing one of its bright-
est ornaments a few years ago, through some- h
what similar circumstances. It is generally 11
buffalo robes and coats that are asassinated,
while the men manage to escape. o

No. 1, range six. In conversation with a r
Truss reporter the other day, Mr. Patterson
intimated that he had the utmost confidence
in the future of the prairie province, and R
says that in comparing present times out m
there with the times that existed during the b
boom, they look dull, but when comparing m
present times with those of the time when le
ho went there he finds a vast improvement,
the spirit of wild speculation and the desire a
to become rich at the expense of others, hav-
ing passed away, thereby profiting the coun-
try
onn try by dearly bought past experience, " and e
signs of rapid development are manifest on
every hand. Referring to the so-called °
Farmers' Union he says that previous to its u
inauguration the members did more harm cel
than after, as they went secretly around in. th
juring the country, but their anti -emigration
resolution of last winter thoroughly convine- d
ed the majority of the people that instead of
being the settlers' friends they are the worst M
enemies of the country. As to the climate, s
he admits that the frost is more severe than
in Ontario, but its effects are not felt with -
so much intensity, the atmosphere being dry
and clear.

s (Sunday morning, the National Hotel,
t t with the stables and all the contents
was burned, leaving auly a portion
of the stone walls standing. The fire
was discovered in the etsblde about
12.80 a. m,, and spread rapidly to the
° frame portion of the hotel on Water
street. At this time the fire was got
r- partially under oontrol,but the emus
gave out, and then the fire was soon
r beyond control. The principal por-
tion of the hotel was atone, and a
f strong effort was made to save it, bid
nftor the engine became useless the
fire caught on the roof, and the whole
building was soon in flames. They
wired to Stratford, and the fire bre.
wide, with an engine, was sent over
by speei-1' train, reaching here about
4.80 a. ria.; and rendered valuable as•
sistauoe in keeping the fire Confined
to the hotel buidings. A etrong gale
was blowing at the time, and all of
the south side of Quee-atreet was
threatened. The loss is estimated at
$20,000, partly covered by insurance.
The building was owned and occu-

been for a number of years the lead-

marks. The programme was good
and well carried out by the various
performers. Mies Clara Francis,
daughter of Captain Franca, of Ful-

singing several Choice selections, in
all of which she had to respond to

extended to behind his ears, and

lost itself in his boot -tops, and amid
breathless silence, broken only by the
unearthly snores of the over -wrought
janitor and the significant and doleful
moanings of sultry March zephyrs,
betokening an early spring and a
perceptible decline among the straw
stacks, he began his most eloquent
harangue. The speech, though ex•
tempore, was characterized by good
sense and keen invective. He dem:.
onstrated to a hair's-breadththe mo:,

saored bond of relationship and bade
us to maintain inviolate that filial tie,
which, though light as air, binds us

the N. E. Ward, in foisting so soon
upon the council the appointment of
a colleotor of taxes, and, wberas said
letter fully set forth the views of this
society, as foreshadowed in the
speech from the throne (Itir. Sadtore:
late,) and, whereas this eooiety dons
unanimously endorse the views ex -
prettied in that ablywritten letter, be
it, therefore resolved that a committee
bo appointed to wait upon the editor

was carried unanimously by a stand-
