Island, Connecticut, New York, Penn
sylvania, and Ohio, with partial account
Of the sheep in Virginia, Maryland, New
Jersey, Delaware and Kentucky. in 1886,
with an account Of the principal wooden
manufactures, and list of the principal
manufacturers in these states" &c.
The Number of sheep in the states enu
merated above is computed at 1887 ,63s,

MELANCHOLY DEATH.-Mrs. Ball,
wife of Mr.. D. E. Ball, merchant of this
city, met with a most melancholy acct
dent on last Friday evening, about dark.
With her infant child in her arms, she
laid herself on the bed near the fire and
fell asleep By some accident the bed
caught on fire, which communicated to
her clothes, and before she was awake
she was literally wrapped in flames. No
one was. in the house-she caught up her
child, which she carried out of doors,
when it tell from her arms Mrs E. ..ade
out to get into neighbor's house before
she fell exhausted. Her clothes were en-
tirely burnt off of her, and her whole
flesh almost crisp She lived scarcely
long enough to relate the sad tale. Her
child is still living, but we believe there
is not much hope of its recovery.-C0-

CANADA AFFAIRS.

Gen. Wool is now at PIattsburgh, and
has called out two companies Of horse,
for the purpose Of accommodating the coun
try. We hear of no movements, how
ever, Of any importance, nor do we be-
Iieve there will be any, The Patriots
undoubtedly have a considerable amount
of property stored on the frontier, which
was intended for the Canada market, but
under very different circumstances than
those now existing in the two Provinces.
Four regiments have arrived at Montreal
from Halifax, snd 1900 Of the Glengary
militia from Upper Canada, which in ad-
dition to the embodied militia and regular
force of the Province, renders Lower Can
ada abundantly able to repel any attack,
from within or without We therefore
hope, and believe, that the patriots con-
template no hostile movements, whatever.

apparently more quiet, Sir John COL
burne entered upon the duties of his office
last Tuesday We have rumors of no
little excitement this side of the line, arls-
ing from report that Gen. Wool has or,
ders TO seize arms supposed to be intended
for Canada, &c. If we mistake not, the
people regard such orders as transcend

fail to express their opinions loudly and
strongly on the subject. Gen. Wool has
