sABRE.-Yesterday about noon a man named
Dennis Crowley came into a saloon and board

Cunningham, and after imbibing pretty
freely the inmates of the saloon got into a
quarrel together. Crowley drew a pistol
On one Of ounninghsm's boardsrs, and was

then challenged the boarder to come out and
fight him. The man accepted the challenge,
walked ont, and knocking Crowley down
took the pistol away from him, Crowley
then went to his boarding house, which was
in the vicinity, and returned with a sabre.
Cunningham saw him as be was about to en-
tsrhis sslOOn, and attempted to prevent it.
Crowley made a stroke at Cunniugham's
throat " sabre, and had not the latter

stuck in the side of the door about two
inches. The door was closed sgainst Crow

RIVERS MELoDEox MINSTREL TRouPE.-.
This is certainly without exception the best
troupe Of minstrels who have visited Toronto
in many years. The entertainment in the
Music Hall last evening was Of q very varied
eharacters and the audience were regsIed
with every kind Of performance, and nothing
long, everything being in good taste and free
from vulgarity. The ballads IN the first part
were given with great taste and feeling. Mr..
G.. N. Hill has a fine voice, which be uses
with much discretion, and he well deserved
the applause with which his rendering Of
The Virginia Rosebud" was greeted. The
gem Of the evening in the vocal department,
however, was Maegregor's Gathering"
sung by Miss halande in answer to an euthu
siastieencorO after singing q Annie Laurie" )"
This talented young lady -wEs eneOrsd in all
her songs. In the comic department, Mr..
Campbell and Mr.. Harry PelI' took the lead.
They are genuine sons Of M6mus, and elicit
cd shouts Of laughter and loud applause by
their. eccentTicites- The double clog hOrn-
pipe, by Messrs. Stone and Nudge, is worthy
of special notice. They received hearty
recall. The entertainment was pleasingly
interpreted by the excellent dancing of
Messrs. johnson, Campbell and Montjoy.
The audience last evening was not so large
as might have been anticipated, but this was
doubtless owing to the storm. From the ap-
plause with which every act was greeted,
there is certain to be crowded house to-
night, when there will be an entire change
of programme.

LIE Loss OF THE MoNARCH.-After not
ing the particulars of the loss Of the schooner
Monarch at the mouth Of sandusky Bay, we
made the following inquiry:
20 The question naturally arises, why did
not the captain Of the Scoville render aid to
the capsized schooner which he saw"
The sandusky Register makes the follow
ing explanation why be did not;
HIn tbs first place, the entrance to San
dusky Bay is BY a channel, guarded on
either side by sand banks, which are pointed
out TO the sailor by " stakes" anchored along
the shoals at proper intervals. To the west
ward Of the channel the water becomes too
shallow for vessels Of much size to navigate.
The accident happened near the entrance Of
the ehanneI, short distance from the second
buoy-stake- The wind was blowing a gale
from the Northeast at the time and the sea
very high, dashine over the shoals in fearful
breakefs- The Monarch was coming in from
Kslley's Island and the ScoYille from Buff
fsio, which latter passed the Monarch at her
flseEard, little to the west Of the chan
mel, as she entered. Shortly after Captain
Christian saw her 20 over while attempting
to make the channel He at once gave or
ders to down helm,' and 20 to the Mon
srch's relief but he was already within the
channel, and between him and the oapsized
boat we're the sheals; besides, the water
where the Monarch lay vas too shallow for
his vessel. It was impossible for him to 20
about and reach the sufferers, the sea was
such that bis yaBl Eoald not live in It a mo-
ulenti and he atsecond thought oorntermand-
ed his order, crowded on all sail, and reached
ssnduslzy as soon ks possible, and gave the
alarm. A tug, with 3 life-bost, was dis
patshsd 10 the place Of disaster; hat the
wreck had drifted from sight, and nothing
could be seen Of either the schooner or the
fated Eve who were on her.
.aCsptsin Christian is a lifelong sailor,
and has heart that would prompt him to
IssTe nothing undons that could be done 70

this morning, according to notice, city orders
Of the denomination Of five cents, were given
out.at the City Treasurer's Office in the AtWa-

given out. The crowd was immense about

for them in the way of sore ribs and sore

to the Erie Gazette;
But here is Cleveland, one Of the most
beautiful Of the cities on the Lake. It's wide

beautiful residences, almost hidden among
trees and shrubs, and the cheerful countenan-
