Negotiations are now in progress that may end in union on honorable terms between the Empire and the Mail, and the Globe's occupation of the Mail building.

Keith, father of Jessie Keith, the victim of the horrible murder committed in this neighborhood some time ago, was a caller at The Bee Monday. Mr. Keith tells us that they have been beseiged by callers every day since the murder, with the exception of two days: which goes to show the widespread interest taken in the horrible affair. The fami- ly have also been the recipients of bushels of letters from all parts of America, containing messages of sym- pathy and consolation. It will doubt- less be interesting to our readers to know that the woman whom Ohatt- elle spoke of as meeting face to face on the day of the murder, and who could identifiy him better than any one pre- sent at the inquest, has been located, by the Crown, and her evidence flied in Mr. Idington's office this week.

The opening piece was a pretty march of 24 little children, 12 girls, 12 boys, who sang and rang bells most melodiously as they formed the different figures of the number.
