Constantinople, Jan. 13. -Advices from
Tripoli depict the horrors of the stave
trade between Turkey and Tripoli in the

It is openly asserted that it is ex-
clusively as a source of supply that the
Porte cares to maintain the connection
between Tripoli and the hinterland at
all. In the regions of Nadal, Gaghirmi,
Oehera and the adjacent eountries, slave
raiding is marked with all the hideous
butcheries with which Europe was /mils
iarized twenty years ago, and as openly
carried. Oil by Arabs and Turks solely
for the supply of the Turkish market.
In these raids the adult population is
mercilessly butchered, both men and
women. "Girls is particular, and, also
boys are alone wanted. The . miseries
they endure in the longe march to the
Tripolitan coast are said to be inde-
scribable.

occurred in North Hastings on Sunday
morning. Claude Godfrey, aged thir-
teen years, son of Marshall Godfrey,

The latter heard the report of the
rifle and ran to the house, only to find
his brother dead on the floor. The
ball struck him in the corner of the left
eye, and lodged in. the brain. Death
must have been instantaneous.
