A despatcli from England, dated Fob- ruary 10th, says that General Gordon was fatally stabbed in the back on the day that the )Iahdi's force entered Khartoum, and that a fearful massacre oftho garrison followed, the scenes of slaughter surpassing the Bulgarian atrocities and rii'alling the worst hor- rors ol' the Scpt’iy mutiny. The panic- strickun ,l‘lgyptiansâ€"mcn. women and childrenâ€"wore captured and put to death with the. most. fiendish tortures, and after the slaughter Aruba were seen rushing about the streets with tho heads of their victims impaled upon spears. The account at Gordon's death is still discredited by many. but. there is reason to believe that it. is true. Fighting still goes on, and Gen. Earle and Lieut.-Col. Eyre have been killed, t0gctlier with two or three ofiicers of inferior rank and from forty to fifty men. There is talk of increasing the army in Egypt to 20,000, (which ought to have been done long ago) as the Cnglisli people insist that. the Mahdi shall be put down at. any cost. The action of France, in supplying the rcb~ cls with arms and ammunition, is ex- citing tnucli bitter comment in England. Fenelon Pulls Races. The eighth annual meeting of tlic Fcnelou Falls Trotting Association was advertist to take place on Tuesday and Weddesdny of this week, but had to be postponed until Thursday and Friday on account of the weather. which was not only terribly cold but so stormy that. it was impossible to kcop the track clt‘ul' of snow, although the managers did their best. Even as late as Thursday noon it was uncertain whether there would be any racing that day; but by dint ol'cniploying a strong force of men with shovels and attaching no less than nine teams of horses to the snow-plough, the track was got into fair order by about three o'clock, and before dark the first day's pregramnn: was got through with, all but. the last heat in the green race, which had to be trotted next morning. Friday, thouin still cold, was line and clear, and as an early start was made and only three heats were trotted in each race, the sport Was over before four o'clock. Thc attendance of spectators on the. first day was very small, as but' few knew that .‘Iovvd by .‘Ir. Swanton. seconded by 2 .‘Ir. Thomson, That I“. D. .‘Ionre be instructed to retain G. T.

ACCIDENT.â€"On Saturday of last week )1 r. Thomas Lane, of Fcnelon Falls. met. with a very serious accident while chopping for Mr. James Butler, of Sam- erville. It appears that a tree that had been fcllcd lodged in another, and. while attempts were being made to lib- eratc it. the butt slipped from the stump and caught .‘Ir.

That's right â€"keep the ball rolling. ATTACKED or a IiA.\t.â€"Yesterday (Friday) as the wife of Mr. Thomas Moyues, of Fcnelon. was stooping in tlic burn-yard, she was attacked by a vicious rain, which struck her on the head and knocked her down, and then assailed her so furiously that her shoulders and breast were much bruised and one arm was broken. Thouin badly hurt she is likely to recover, unless the blow on her head should prove more serious than Dr. Wilson. who is attending but, at present thinks it is. l’iiitsox.\i..â€"Mr. Ilobcrt Chambers, who was on the staff of the Gamma soon after it. wax-i established, called to see us on Wednesday last and left. his card, having lately commenced business in Lindsay as a dealer in and manufactur- er ol'grauitc and marble headstones, at which he has had ten years’ experience.

On the even- - ing of that day it occurred to him that i tobacco and gunpowder would make a good smoking mixture, so he tried the experiment.

A good start was obtained and the re- sult was never for a moment in doubt. I-lanlnn came in six lengths ahead, row- ing comfmtably. The distance was three and three-quarter miles less 110 yards, and the stake $2.500 a side. There was no championship at stake. IIanlan won much as he pleased. Both men were in excellent condition.

Three hundred inhabitants of Jones' island. a desolate strip of land in Lake Michigan, at the mouth of the Milwau- kee river, narrowly escaped destruction on the night. of Monday last, the 9th inst. The island is surrounded by huge piles of ice and snow. A fearful gale raged that. night, and the waves began to wash over the icy barrier. The peo- i plc were aroused by the flood, and many 1 narrowly escaped death tryingr to cross 1 the ice to the mainland. The ice was found broken and they returned, wa- ding throuin slush, ice and water knee deep. and took refuge in the second sto rics of the larger houses, and wherever they could perch out of reach of the water. The sufferings of the people through the night were terrible. the mercury being 18 below zero.

A RAILWAY NEw BRUNSWICK, N. Y., Feb. 6.â€"â€"A collision occurred between a freight and an oil train, on the Iron Bridge of the Penn. R. R. spanning Rnritau river, at 3 o’clock this morning, resulting in the loss of two lives, and the destruction of two locomotives and a great many cars, the partial wreck of one span of the bridge and the burning of two factories, six dwellings, and one hotel. The dam- nge amounts to nearly a million. The collision, as far as ascertained, was due to the carelessness of the conductor of the forward train. This train consisted of freight and oil cars, the latter being in the rear, and was eastward bound. the bridge with the tail end standing cm the shore spans. No Ifagmen were sent back to warn the approaching trains of danger. The result was that the loco- motive of the fast eastbound freight train plunged into the roar of the oil train. The shock was lci't‘iiic‘atid‘c1ttis- ed the explosion of the oil car. Streams of burning oil speedily overspread the bridge and ran down the street, igniting everything combustible in their centric. Two bi'akcuien of the oil train fell through the bridge to the street: wittlr the car in which they were and were burned up. The engineer and lireiiiaii of the rear freight train jumped front the cab at. George stiect crossing, seeing a collision'was inevitable, and saved themselves. The shock of the expio- sion aroused the pooplc of the city from their slunihcrs, and, attracted by the light from the burning curs, hundreds ran to the bridge and attempted to stay the progress of the flames. A Very Old Woman. Mya-wausbol-o-qtie, commonly known as Granny l’ctcrs, died at llama on Tuesday, at. 3 o'clock in the morning. “or name means “ The light before sunrise," and refers to her birth. She enjoyed good health up to within a few days of her death, which resulted from old age, and conversed with friends the evening before. She was born, as near as can be told, about the year 1765, on the reservation, on the shore of Lake Simone, and was consequently about 120 years old. She i‘ecollcctcd vividly inci dents of the war of 1812, in which her husband fought among the Indian allies of the British. Her only daughter, Annie, was born about 1800, 'and mar- ried Simon Peters; and John Peters, who now lives :it. Lougl'nrd, is the issue of the marriage. Granny Peters was converted by the first. missionary who came among them, a Methodist. named Peter Jones, about seventy years ago, when she joined the Methodist church, and has since led a. Christian life, leav- ing her friends secure in the hope that she has left earth for u. better place. She had a high opinion of white people and wished to live on good terms with them. The funeral took place from Rania church to Chief Island, where the remains were interred yesterday.â€" Orilliu News-Letter. .. .. . .. -. .,..._._. Chinese Driven Out. During a riot last. Saturday night be- tween Chinese at Eureka, California, a stray bullet killed David Kendall, a' member of the city council, and another severely wounded a boy. The news created snob intense excitement that a ' mass meeting was called, over a thou- sand citizens responding. Resolutions ol indignation were adopted, and a coin- iiiittcc was appointed to notify’ the Chi- nese that they must all leave. the city. i The citizens visited each Chinese hours:- and compelled them to pack tip their effects, and then marched them to a warehouse, where they imprisoned them awaiting the departure of a steamer for San Francisco.
