Gerry on Champlain street, near the cor

narrow escape from being sufocated by
coal gas, together with his wife and
child on Saturday night last. He awoke
in the night to find the room full Of gas
from the stove, and had barely strength
to make his way out of doors. His
wife attempting to follow fell insensible
on the floor, and all three are still con-
fined to their beds from the effects Of the
asphyxiation.

ArorHsR sHoorIsa APPAIR.-A trivial
Incident occurred At Lexington, Va, a
few days ago, One of General Lees pu'
pills shot and killed respectable black
man Of that town. On his examination
he stated that the negro had ''insulted
him" This statement was corroborated
by spectators Of the occurrence. The
learned Dogberry who heard the ease
made the following points in his decis-
Ion: That the laws of Virginia have
always recognized the difference between
the white man aud the black that a
white man may protect himself from
negro insults; that, though the deed
was clearly proved, 1t was the result OF
the insult, and he should discharge the
defendant from custody.

The OCEAN YACHT RACE.-The three
New York yachts, the Henrietta, owned
by James Gordon Bennett, Jr., the Vesta,
owned by Pierre Lorillard, and the Fleet
wing, owned by George A. Osgood,
started on their ocean race across the
Atlantic, on Tuesday, according to the
agreement. The authorities differ as to
the time it will take them to get to Eng
land, the estimates ranging from nine
teen to thirty days but if they have
fair weather and q good sea, they will
not probably be much over twenty days
In making the trip. This is by far the
most ambitious voyage ever made by
our yachtsmep, who are most emphati-
cally Coasters" and fair weather sailors !;
and so dangerous is this excursion con-
sidered thatof the owners Of the three
yachts, Mr.. Bennett alone has courage to
go out in his own vessel, while the
Others will cross more comfortably
and quickly in q steamer, and be on
hand to welcome their vessels If they are
successful But the danger Of the voy-
age seems to be good deal overrated.
December is cold month, to be sure,
and liable to be stormy. But much
smaller vessels have made more danger
Gus voyages successfully. Of the three
vessels with which Columbus set out to
discover America, two were smaller than
these yachts, and Magellan rounded
Cape Horn in vessel of only fifteen
tons burthen. The first vessel furnished
to the Sandwich Island missionaries, In
1926, was little schooner of but forty
tons burtben, and yet she rounded Cape
Horn safely after long and unusually
stormy passage and the new missionary
vessel, Morning Star, recently launched,
has no heavier tonnage than the three
yachts, while the old Morning Star was
one third smaller. So the yacht race is
is not very venturesome affair after all,
though it is an interesting contest,
marking an era in yatchting in this
country, and the result will be awaited
with impatience. 1t will be remembered
that the race is for sweepstake purse
of 100000, and the winner will probably
challenge all England to race.
