There has been great decrease in the quantity of
eggs consumed In Great Britain This is attributed to
the great destruction Of poultry in France and
Belgium, from which countries tho eggs are prn.
cipally imported into England. In Ireland large
quantities Of poultry have. been destroyed, in con
sequence of the high price and scarcity of grain
and other articles upon which they feed. In the
first three months Of 1916, there imported into
Great Britain ls9ls,se9 eggs while in the first three
months Of ls47 only II $40 imported or the
increased importation Of beef and pork large portion
was direct from the United States domestic supply
OF these articles this has been limited than
usual and prices have advanced very much within the
past three or four months

DEATH OF A REMARKABLE
CHARACTER.

We have this week u record the demise
Of an individual who, from various cifcum.
stances, may be said to have possessed u
considerable local celebrity. Ne refer to
the death Of James Alexander, better
known as "Deacon Elsbender,' and re.
markablc for the many marvellous stories
which it was bis delight 10 record to adj.
miring listeners. The Deacon'g imaefn.
altos was Of al exceedingly prolific des.
cription; and his flights 0 ffancy if at times
somewhat soaring. were at all events by
power Of language and high colonring rem.
dered sufficiently amusing. Many ancc-
dotes were told Of the deceased Deacon,
and amongst others, his pride and boast
was, that the yenerable.look walking
stick, which was a neyeT-faIiing companion
in his perambuIati0Ls, was as averred, the
yeritable back bone Of that remarkable
animal Of the asinine tribe, Balaam's char
ger. Another companion ofJames' was q
blackbird, possessed Of astonishing must
cal powers more especially for its aptitude
in acquiring any tune ii might hear from
the street musicians, indeed TO such a
height did its organic development of tune
carry it, that its master has been heard 10
declare that, after listening for hours TO
the strains of our wandering ministries, it
would, on its return home, repeat the whole
TO its delighted listeners without the least
break or missing Of single note. James
had been once in London in the course of
his long life, and the remarkable stories
with which he favoured his fiiends respect
ing that huge metropolis were without end.
By his own account, he had on one @
sion been invited to ST. James's Palace by
the late Queen Charlotte, Of blessed men,
DRY; but the invitation was 81 ven under the
special proyiso that the honored guest
was not to call upon a Tuesday, that being
washing day at the Palace, and the royal
and illustrious lady then in DishabiHe.
Many other stories are told of the defunct
but our space viii not admit ofgiving more

The CAPTURE OF ALvARApo AND THE
REWARD or VALoR.-Lieut. Hunter, with
his ~"Scourge" aud one gun, took Alvarado
and Tlacotalpam without loss of life. Com.
Perry expected TO take il by twelve ships
of war, one hundred and fifty guns, and
three thousand sailors and soldiers, after a
large loss Of life. The Commodore was
aslonished ut finding on his arrival hat
Lieut.. Hunter was in command of Alva-
RADIO.
Lieut.. Hunter has been tried by a court
martial in the fleet, and has been dismissed
from the squadron after a %reprimand.
The people of this interesting republic
had already tried Lieut.. Hunter, and had
decided that an "order TO blockade did
not supersede the right to capture every
enemy within reach, and that the capture
of Alvarado was an act to be admired.
Among the disinterested gentlemen of the
navy the verdict is thought to be foolish /;
for they, with our citizens, admire grand
results from small means. There are Sc
veral important circumstances connected
with the capture of Alvarado, which have
not yet been made public. They will
place Lieut.. Hunter in a higher position
than he now apparently occupies.

pairing a sword for Hunter. are extremely
