FEsrIvAL.-The ladies OF the Christian
Commission have arranged for a Concert by
the children Of our public schools, at the new
City Hall on the morning OF July 4th A fine
opportunity will thus be afforded old and
young for rational enjoyment, and at the same
time enable them to contribute little towards
the relief OF our suffering soldiers.
AT the same place, 10 connection with the
Juvenile Concert, tables viii be furnished with
such Injuries and substanhals as will solicit
money from every body.
To enable the ladies to render their refresh.
ment tables attractive and profitable, dona-
tions from the patriotic public viii be required.
We hope the "Home Guard will send TO the
new City Hall strawberries, cream, cakes,
flowers, and also meats, &c., so that our ladies
who do the hard work may be encouraged
still to labor.

Board Bills and Landlords

Mr.. EDIToR:-Your correspondent ~,
either unintentionally or otherwise, suppress
ed several material facts In bis account of the
disclosures of Hildreth. II the public have
any interest 10 such matters, they have an in
terest in knowing the whole truth, and 1t
is not little amusing TO see tho efforts of
little minds, through garbled and one sided
statements, to try to injurs those connected
Herewith. either as Attorneys or Magistrates.
First. The plff himself testiaes that Hill
drcth offered him 1.-THE creaitor) the bank
book In question, showing deposit of $50, in
st. John, Ii he would release him from arrest.
but, not believing it of any value, he refused
to take 1t. ae
Second. That when he sent for MI. Hovey
TO act as his attorney, and told him of the
book, Mr.. II. at once asked him why he did
not offer 1t to his creditor; to which he re-
Piled that he had done so and he 1.-THE credit
orr refused to take it.
Third 1t did not appear in evidence be-
fore the sitting magistrates, that Mr.. Hovey
had ever received single dollar from the
avails OF said deposit or book, although one
of the magistrates lMerril) suggested to the
creditors attorney, that he should examine
Mr.. Hoyey on that point-that they could
not infer it without proof-but the attorney
declined.
Fourth. The debtor offered to assign to
the creditor all the interest be might still
have In said book and deposit, II any. which
assignment, one Of the magistrates (Merrill)
thought by the Sth and 18Th Sec. of Oh. 113
of the Rev. Stat, entitled him to be released
from arrest.
But this assignment would, of course, be
subject to his attorneys claim for disburs-
nrenls and services which did not seem to
suit the interests OF the creditor, who had
made the mistake Of locking his debtor up in
jail, instead of taking the security offered
him, and which, he now suspects, Mr.. Hovey
made available as cash. He will undoubted-
ly be wiser next time. So much for this
tempest in teapot. u

ADvERTIsE.-An exchange says II any
person In business would succeed, he must lie.
the people know where he Is and what he Is
about; and a business that will not pay to
advertise In these times Is not worth pursuing.
Many persons have an idea that after they
have been some time In business 1t 10 not
necessary 10 advertise further. But that Is
an idea suited to dead men, and not to those
who mean to compete iu the struggles OF life.
Do they suppose that nobody moves into
town or comes In to trade? That nobody 10
born here? That the same people are pur-
chasing now that lid ten years ago?

Fearful Railroad accident at BeloSd, Cana
da-t1Jty Persons Killed.


ST. HfLAIRE, G. T., June 20.
fearful accident occurred on the Grand
Trunk Railway this morning. An emigrant
train. consisting OF eleven cars, with 354 Ger
man emigrants, went over the Behold bridge
early this morning. At SIS A. NJ. thirty four
dead bodies had been recovered, and between
thirty aud forty taken out badly injured. The
train from Quebec has been delayed In conse-
quence. One car has not been sufficiently
reached TO allow the dead TO be taken from ii.
The engineer went down with the engine, but
escaped with slight injuries. A dreadful res
possibility appears ~ rest on this man for vi
olating the standing order to stop.
Only two living beings have been rescued
from this car. The depth OF water where the
accident occurred is about ten feet. The con-
ductor, Thomas Finn, was killed. The fire.
man is also supposed killed. st. Hiaire Is
nineteen miles from Montreal.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY Potomac.

June IS.
All quiet at the 'front.' Our left wing swung
round and took possession of the Weldon
Railroad, about four miles from Petersburg,
without opposition. 1t is believed the enemy's
lines have been somewhat contracted since
Friday, and the opinion prevails that force
has been sent 10 meet aud drive back Hunter.
Almost nightly attacks are made on some part
OF the fretted line in front OF the 9th corps,
but finding our men ON the alert aud ready
for them, the rebels quickly retire.
1t was at first thought that our loss would
be over 300, but haze benn informed that ii
VIII not reach one-fcurth Of this number. Our
forces fell back TO their supports near the
bridge, and subsequently crossed with the en-
tire train without further loss. The rebels
made no EFFORT to follow up, and il was thought
that they had suffered severely or they would
have done so.

DETECTION OF SPURIOUS BANK NOTES.
An infallible guide to aid in the detection OF
counterfeit bank notes, something more than
she usual @Dctector," which cannot, by the
greatest prudence, be made perfectly reliable,
has long been desired by BUSINESS men. Mr.
Laban Heath has recently published little
volume which seems to entirely satisfy this
want In compiling this book he ha, been
favored with eugravings from the Bank Note
Co., with which he is enabled to give to every
merchant and accountant standard OF gen.
uine bank note engravings, with which he may
compare all bills coming into his hands, aud
readily detect the good from the worthless
This system has received testimonials from
the highest sources, and therefore Is entitled
to the greatest confidence. T. r. Russell,
Foreign Money Teller Of Suffolk Bank, Bos-
ton, says Of this book, II consider 1t the best
work on the subject ever offered to the pub
lie" 1t Is also highly endorsed by Cashiers
and Tellers In the Manufacturers & Traders,
Mechanics international and Canal Banks, in
this city. Mr.. Heath or his agent is now in
town, and will call on our merchants who will
do well to examine and test its merits.
