another ParEman Case.-On Saturday,
a man named Alexander, an old soldier of
the list Regiment, was arrested and com>
mitted to Jail to take his trial, charged with
the murder of his wife. 1t appears that
the woman supposed to be deceased had
been missed by the neighbors forsom five
weeks, anil that her disappearance had not
been accounted for by her husband. They
therefore began to entertain suspicion 5,
which they communicated to Colonel Er.
matinger, who caused the prisoner to be
arrested, as we have stated. On Sunday
the Col. went to hehouse of the accused,
and there teok possession of certain ar.i-
cles which he supposed calculated to make
proof on the trial. There will be an in
quest to-day on what are supposed to be
the remains of the woman, whose body is
believed to have been burned after her
murder, in the stove.-Montreal Herald,

advent of the iron horse, and at several
places refreshments were provided, of which
champagne formed an important item. At
London the cars were met by large con-

which proceeded to the Court House, where
several addresses were delivered. In the
evening there was public dinner, and the

Interesting to Ship Masters.-In the case
of Potter vs.. Pettis, the Supreme Court of
Rhode Island has recently decided that ves-
sells have right to use warp in getting
in and out of the harbor of a navigable
river, and to extend the warp across the
entire channel !; but, on the approach of
another vessel, it Is. the duty of the.vessel
using the warp to take notice of such ap-
proach, and so to lower the warp as to give
free passage through the ordinary trav-
eled part of the channel, and to indicate to
the approaching vessels the point intended
for her passage. The approaching party
is not bound to pass at the point indicated,
but may pass at different point if he hon.
estly thinks it can be done without iuter-
ference, but in such case he will be liable
for the damage which ensues, unless he
can prove that he disregarded the notice of
the other vessel in the bona fide belief that
he could so pass without damage to it, and
the burden of proving this will be upon
him.
