A Helifax despatch Gaya : A terrible accident marred on Ounard'e south wheat M 10 o'clock tesnight by whioh four or five men were drowned and aeveral others had' a thrilling escape front depth. A. large gang of men were engaged in waloedieg cargo of coal brought from Sydney by the ,atiseneer Oakdene, and were placing it in a large shed lately erectea on the wharf. Eight men were in one pert of the shed working on top of the hop, trimming the CO al as it wee unlomded from the eteamerf when eaddenly, without moment's warn- ing, largemieoe of the wharf beneath the cosi caved in with a crash. The men at work felt the ooal sinking benetith thein and made frantic efforts to agape from the shed, So far as known ...three of them succeeded in getting out, they being nearest to the door, but the other five are believed to have gone down with the coal, wed& dieappeared out of Bight below the water. The three known to wenn caught hold of the posts and beams+, and when the coal went down they clam. bored otie to the safe part of the wharf. A young colored man named Johnem, who WAS on top of the beep, says he just had time to grasp a beam when the coal went from under hie feet, carrying his shovel with it. He ewung himself along to the door and dropped on to the wharf alongside of the two other mon .who had escaped in a somewhat similar way. These three state that they saw at least three of the others go down with the heap, and as the other two cannot be found it is thought certeln they shared the seine fate. The unfortu- nate men could scarcely make an effort to leave themselves, BS the coal no doubt coy. ared them in and smothered them. The five men lost itre : Nicholas Bald- win, Henry Wise (colored), John Brown (colored) and two named Kelly and Power. Power was foremel of the gang. Wise and Brown were young men, the latter being znarried. It is imposeible. owing to the darkness, to make any effort to get the bodies out of the water, and it is probable eaone of them will be found till the work of _raising the coal is cotnmenced. The night is very cold, and even if some of theca sue - Deeded in getting clear of the coal they must have periahed immediately in the icy water. About 25 equare feet of the wharf isollapsed, and it is thought about 100 toes of coal went under water. • Woman and the Moralities.

The tragedy was seen by no one, and the exact tinae it occurred ia unknown. Mr. and Mrs. Christiansen have been living with their daughter and son•iraiaw. They were tilasent until midnight. When Mrs. Nelson went to the room to waken her pereets this =ening her first glance aid not show any- thing wrong. Approstohing the bed, she was horrified to see that her fatherni face and breast were all bloody, and as he breathed spurts of blood came front the great gash in hie throat. In a moment she celled her husband, and they attempted to woken the mother, only to learn that she was deed. The blood on the yarn and on the blade Blamed Vast the, mot had been coixonitted early in the night, as the blood was dry. Chrietiansen was still alive and conscious. He oonld not speak, but could understand what was said to him. When asked if he had killed his wife, he nodded Affirmatively, and a horrible gurgle came from the wound in his throat as he attempted to reply. At he acknowledged the crime he motioned with his hands to show how it had been done. He also signified that he had out his own throat, eaid pointed to the razor as he nodded hie bead, sending spurts of blood ant and over his shirt. He cannot recover, It is diffioult to find a motive for the crime. Christiansen was somewhat remorse and tecituret but was not ,usually quarrelsome. Elia sonnu-law suggests that he was some. what jealous of his wife. She was knitting stoolsitigs for Christmas preeenta, and this did not please the husband, and he fre- quently objected. Passably this enraged birn last night, as she frequently ,sat up to knit after he wanted her to go to bed. The supposition is that she did not go to bed when be wished and he threw her on the bed, and then in a fit of jealous fury choked the life out of her. She was found in the bed, but with her clothes on. Christiansen was alto in bed by her aide, but was un- dressed. • A CLEVER TRICK.

The letter ends with a delioete •little appeal to the reoipient that a little token for the baby would be thankfully received.

A KENTISH TRACrEDY, A Story of' Illicit Love and Fleadish Kinder, All Ireversixam in a rover of Excitement— Woman at the Pottom of it—ge. hountry Doctor's Cruel End. A Fisverslitun, Eng., cable treys : A re- rnarkable occurrence t h at. is rapidly develop. ine into a reensational murder mystery is creating intenee exeiteruent here as the very peculiar attendant oireurestancee are gradually coming to light. De. W. R. Lyddon was at one tines the most popular physician in Feversham. He had a largo practice and was said to enjoy a correspondingly large income He drove a dog cart and a variety of other vehicles supposed to be the ,saisompaniment and guarantee:of success. He also had a pretty wife, a charming woman with au attractive personality and a magnetic influence. She led in the eensial entertainments among her neighbors, WPS prominent in the amateur theatrioale that every winter form SO attractive a feature in this old Kentish town, road formed the centre of a brilliant coterie. Mrs. Lyddon, although to all appetirances a happy wife, and looked upon with envy as snob by all her woman adquaintancee, was detained to meet her fate in her husband's step. brother, whom Dr. Lyddon brought down from London one evening and introdimed n young medicel student with ell the honors of hie alma mater froth upon him. The embodiment of a peculiar type of manly beauty, Charles Lyddon was not long reeking a favorable impression upon the Kentieh matron. It was in the foouree of these visits that long strolls were taken by the banks of the sleepy Swale; at other times the lovers wandered through the eaboing aisles of the old , abbey, Where lie the remains of the royal founder, Hive Stephen, whose "breeches cost him but a crown"; while on other days the dootat's dog -cart would be utilized for journeys through the leafy hop fields. Progressing thus favorably with the wife, Charles begae to make himself solid" with the husband, and by dint of much persuasion brought the latter to agree to a sale of his practice, poeseesion to be given on hie death. Insignificant and harmless es this provision seemed to the doctor, the agreement containing it proved to be the unfortunate men's death warrant, as no sooner was it signed than his step- brother, with devilish malignity, begen to plan the orime that he has just succeeded in accomplishing. Not long after the pros- perous and, until then, exceptionally heelthy imedical men had put his name to the fatal document he was seized with it mysterious illness, which, however, Charles pretended to thoroughly understand and conse- quently took f all charge of the treatment. His remedies, however, seemed to aggravate inhut- them alleviate the melady, as Dr. Lyddon grew steadily worse. Not content with this deliberate assault on his brether's life, Charles did not attempt to disguise the hatred and lust that filled his heart. In fact he treated him with such cruelty that Mrs. Lyddon was repeatedly heard by the servants to exclaim " Don't hit him in the face, Charley," "For God'a sake don't strike him," "He won't anger you again, dear," and similar adjurations. When the lest hour arrived and the strong constitution of the physician had been completely broken down by the pow - erica drugs ruthlessly administered to him, and his heart had been broken as the Modems facts of his wife's falsehood and hie brother's treachery were revealed to him, Charles looked himself in the room with his victim and preceed to perform the last act in the tragedy. Wiaat then oc- curred is only known to heaven and the occupants of the fatal chamber. It was the finding of an emptied bottle of morphine in an adjacent lumber room that first aroused suspicion and led to the arrest of Charles Lyddon. Then came the story of tho horrible detitile as they were sworn to by different witnesses before the coroner's jury, which was not long in find- ing a verdiot of guilty. Then there was a soene of wild excite- ment, such 39 is seldom witnessed in quiet English provincial towns. The crowd that had gathered yesterday around the town hall, ste,nding for hours in a driving snow- storm, soon heard the news of the jnry's verdict, and received it with a yell that would have done credit to a chortle recruited from an insane asylum. Soon the culprit appeared at the door stir. rounded by a guard of twenty policemen. He was first taken to his hotel and after- werde to prison, amid a dense shower of snowballs. The prisoner protests his innocence, and declares that the evidence, which is almost entirely circumstantial, is misleading. He will be tried at the next assizes. Old Friends.

Remember that all the time spent in the store belongs to your employer. 2. That courtesy behind the counter wins even the naost captious oustonaer. 3, Thist gossip about young men, or with them, is unbusinese-lthe and, under the oiromnstances, rude. 4. Never attempt to instruct a cus- tomer ; while you may suggest, or politely question, the desirability of this or that. 5. Do not say, "Here, Sade, hand me yoar pencil," to your neighbor. 6. Never say, "No, we haven't got it," in a short, crisp tone ; far better a polite " I am sorry to say we de not have it in stook." 7. Do not thrust a package at a customer as you would a pistol in the face of a high- wayman. . 8. Never throw down goods with anair which seems to say, "1 do not care whether you buy it or not." 9. Dress modestly aud avoid cheap jewelry. • 10. Frown down with womanly scorn the nonsensical title of " saleslady."—Kate Tannatt Woods, in Ladies' Home Journal.

Hood's Sarsaparilla possesses great I medicinal merit, which it positively demonstrates when fairly tried. 2It is most economical, being the only medicine of which " heo Doses One Dollar" can truly be said. 3It is prepared by a Combination, Proportion and Process Peculiar to Itself, unknown to other preparations, and by which all the medicinal value of the various ingredients is secured. 4It effects remarkable cures where other medicines have utterly failed to do any good whatever. tr. It is a modern medicine, originated ;h0 by experienced pharmacists, and still carefully prepared under their per- sonal supervision. 6It is clean, clear and beautiful in appearance, pleasant to take, and always of equal strength. 7It has proven itself to be positiyely 1 the best remedy for scrofula and all blood disorders, and the best tonic tor that tired feeling, loss of appetite and general debility. 8It is unequalled for caring dyspepsia, sick headache, biliousness, catarrh, rheumatism and all diseases of the kid- neys and liver. 9It has a good name at home, there being more of Hood's Sarsaparilla sold in Lowell, Mass., where it is made, than of all other sarsaparillas and blood purifiers combined. A Its advertising is unique, original, V honest, and thoroughly backed up by the medicine itself. A Point for You. If you want a blood purifier or strengthening medicine, yon should get the best.
