Feb. l7.â€"A sensation was created here today by the arrest of a young merchant tailor on Notre Dame street named Cardinal. for the abduction of a young girl. the daughter of respectable ente. named Girard. It appears that iss Girard went out for a walk yesterday with a girl much younger than herself and that on coming to the house of the prisoner she entered. leaving her companion outside. The latter waited sometime, but Miss Girard not coming out she went home, and as Miss Girard did not return to her arents’ house last night. Mr. Girard noti ed a detective this morning. and after a search his daughter was found concealed in Cardinal‘s room. To the magistrate the girl stated that the prisoner took her out or a drive last evening, and gave her wine at a hotel in the country. that he subse- gently brought her back to town. took her a house of assignation. and effected her rain. The giddy creature admitted being a consenting party to Cardinal's viliainy. and the magistrate had no alternative but in discharge him. However, he instructed the distressed father that he had a remedy adaiust the scoundrel in a civil court, where the case will now be taken. as the accused \is well able to pay heavy damages. Painful Enact-lime of a Frost nun-n Young Lady. OTTAWA. Feb. 17.â€"A sad tale of the en!- fering caused by the intense cold of last week comes from Rentrew.

Little Minnie Lee died of hydrophobia. in her father's home at Newark. 0n Wednes- day night she grew worse. She had more violent. convulsions than before, and three or four times snapped her teeth like a dog. Her nurses and men who were called in to hold her wore thick gloves to save them- selves from a fatal scratch or bite from the ohild. 0At last her convulsions became so hard that it required the strength of four a to hold her. No more ice was given to her. because even this brought on a spasm. At 10 o‘clock yesterday morn- ing the child became more quiet, although her sufferings were yet terrible. During her last hour, when seemingly conscious, she several tunes pointed above her head. tad looking upward said: "Look! oh. how beautiful!" ‘ 'Onoe she asked. gazing upward: “ Is that for me ?“ Just before or death she groaned and then quietly expired. Charlie Lee. Minnio‘s brother,who was bitten by the same deg. showed no symp- toms of hydrophohis'yesterday. After he choked on Wednesdaywhen drinking coffee he was closely watched for the signs of the disease but none was observed. Dr. Hagen is giving him medicine. in the hope of warding off hydrophobin. Charlie is now at home. and is cared for with great solicitnde. Paul. another brother. who was also bitten by the dog. is staying at the house of Mr. Middleton in Bergen street. He was well last eveningâ€"New York Sun. A horrible. if true. story 13 reported from Moore tmfnship It is stated that while driv mg home a child began to cry from the cold. when its father, seizing it chocked it as he supposed. threw it out of the sleigh md drme off home. On nrrhiug at the house. the child‘s mother asked for her off aprin . when the father replied that he sup- poe it “as at the spot where he had thrown it.

In the United Kingdom there are about 3.000.000 of electors. of whom Scotland had at the last election 306.000. choosing only sixty members. while Ireland and Wales together had 368.000 electors. choosxng 135 members. The House of Commons numbers 65:? mem- bers. This leaves for England 457 nem- bere chosen by 9.326.000 electors. London alone has 370.000 electors. or more than all Scotland. and more than all Ireland and Wales put together. Nevertheless London is allowed only twenty~five members. whereas according to the oflicial statistics which have been given. London. under any equality of apportionment. should have as many members as scotland. If London were represented as Ireland and Wales now are in Parliament it would have 135 mem~ here of its own ! ‘ Mr. Spumeon says: “ Have you read the 'Ancient Mnfiner?‘ I dare any you thought it very queer-dead men nlling the ropes. dead men steering.

Shiotte is a slim fellow. with sharp features and restless eyes. He looked very pale. When asked why he left. having such a. short term (ten months) to put in, he said: " I had been a. month in the dark cells and didn’t know when I would get out. 'I couldn’t stand the idea. of remaining there ten months. so when theop rthnity oifered I fled." When he rose ed the United I fled." When he readied the United States he said he felt happy and thought he wasn. free man. » - _ ‘ _ __ Abram Repson was the freshest of the quartette. He is about twenty years of age. He sdmitied that he had been reck- less, for he thought that when once in the States he was a free man. When on Wolfe Island they heard the prison bell ring out the alarm. and they pushed forward as fast as possible. “ Wh did you run away?" was asked. Well, e had lain for twenty- one nights on the cold flags in the dungeon. and did not know how much longer he would be kept in yet. He liked the peni- tentiary better than the jails in Prince Edward Island. He had been kept in irons for five months down there. He thought I when he served out his term that he would be a. pretty old man, over 42 years, and it made him feel bad He intended to try and be a. better man. Wright, who it will be remembered exhibited great fortitude and much com- passion for his unfortunate chum, Blake, whom he assisted so much in the flight, said all the convicts in the penitentiary were of the opinion that once in the United States they were free. He chatted away quite volubly, and when the Rev. C. E. Cartwright entered shook hands with him. , A short silence ensued ; then Wright said, “ This is a bad business for me.” A divine accompanying Mr. Cartwright urged Wright to place his trust in God, and pro- bably in after years he would see God’s hand in ‘permitting him to be returned to prison. The preacher urged him to pray for guidance. “ Yes," replied Wright, “the first prayer I said in two years was when I touched the American shore. There I thanked God for having safely idelivered me, and I promised to be for ’ever more an honest man." The minister urged him to continue in the good way, and leaving him a small tract, departed. Mor- ris Blake was found in the hospital. He was quite lively, and was interesting the other convicts with the descriptions of what he would have done had he reached “Ould Ireland, sor.” As soon as Wright reached the American shore he wrote to London, asking his friends to send him money to Cape Vincent. The letter was posted by the farmer they stopped with. The escape, which has resulted in such a fiasco, was probably the most daring ever made at this penitentiary. Prof. Bell has Just delivered a lecture in Quebec on his travels and explorations in Hudson’s Bay. which he calls the Canadian Mediterranean. Dr. Bell has spent five years in exploring Hudson’s Bay, and he paints its picture in glo ing colors. This great body of water is si‘tsated in the centre of the Dominion of Canada. is a thousand miles long, more than“ six hundred wide, and covers one million square miles. Instead of being. as is usually sup- posed, a part of the Arctic regions, its nearest shore is more southerly than London, and its farthest still remains Within the North Temperate Zone. 0n the northeast coast there is littl snow in win- ter and little rain in summz The tribu~ taries of the Bay are the Nelson, which discharges the waters of Lake Winnipeg; the Winnipeg, about the size of the Ottawa; the Saskatchewan, 900 miles long, pouring in from the west; and the Red River, coming 500 miles from the south. All the central part of North America, from Labrador to the Rocky Mountains, drains into Hudson’s Bay. The largest tributary is the Nelson, about four times the size of the Ottawa, at the capital; then comes the Churchill. the Big River and the Albany. On the west side of the bay the southerly winds are the coldest that blow in the winter, and there is less snow and less intense cold in the vicinity of York Factory and Fort Churchill than in more southerly regions. During winter the temperature improves as one goes from Minnesota northward through Manitoba and down the valleys to Hudson Bay, and bathing is found agreeable in July, August and September. 0n the southern and western shores unlimited supplies of red white pine, spruce, white birch, balsam poplar, aspen and tamarao are found. Mr. Spurgeon wrote the other day that the most useful members of a church were ueuelly those who would “be doing harm it they were not doing good. They could not be chips in the porridgeâ€"they must flavor it one way or the other."
