An accident of happily unusual character, which mi ght have been attended with serious results, occurred at the Gobens Theatle Par is, few nights since. One of the audience, who was seated in the upper gallery, happen ed to overbalance himself and fell headlong into the 2o0rterre just as many people were leaving the house between the acts scene of indescribable confusion ensued, and those who remained in the building looked for the involuntary author of the incident, expecting to find him seriously injured, if not actually dying. Curiously enough that individual was nowhere to be found. having quietly disap- peared among the throng who were issuing from the pit. A shoemaker and young girl who were immediately beneath the spot where the unlucky victim of the force of gravity aighted were less fortunate, for he struck against them as he fell and inflicted some slight injuries.
 The most celebrated instances of ''the laws delays" ever quoted hy law reformers seems to be fully equalled, if not surpassed, by a case just concluded in Hungary. The Pester LI0yd says that on Oct 18th, division of the Senate. ofthe Royal Table" (the Hungarian Supre ne Court) gave final judgment in a suit commenced in 176S, and which has since pas sed through all the possible phases of Hunga- rian litigation The object of the original suit was the same as would be aimed at by an ejectment suit with us-to get rid of an alleg- ed wrongful occupier of large family estate. After Ill years of litigation, the Court placed the representatives of the original plaintiffs in possession of a portion only of the property. A large portion has been swallowed up by ex- penses.
 A native who formerly moved in high po- sitiOn in the Indian army gave evidence before the Military Commission in Cabul that two or three days after Sir L. Cavagnari arrived, reg iments came from Hesat who abused the en- voy by name and said they'd soon put an end to him. He told Sir L.. who only said: Nev CT fear; keep up your heart; dogs that bark don't bite '" The native said, 'Srhese dogs do bite, and there's real danger" Sir L. replied, '.They can only kill the three or four of us here, and our deaths will be we'll avenged. l" The native then told MT.

 The country all through northern Minnesota abounds in lakes and lakelets from an eighth of mile to ten and twelve miles in length. and there are said to be ten thousand of them in the state, and large proportion of them are said to abound with fish and game. Those who have travelled through it tell me it is a perfect paradise for sportsmen, and, indeed, large parties of gentlemen from other states, as well as from Europe and the provinces visit this section annually in persuit of game and sport, and health as consequent upon such pur suits. The first day I arrived one of these sportsmen came into the hotel in the evening followed by two men carrying strings of birds composed mainly of ducks. but with a few prairie pheasants, chickens and cartridges, ane few woodcock but the great weight of tht game-of which there must have been 25( birds--were of the mallard duck, with few redbeads and canvasbacks, and here and ther. sprinkled through the string was a greenwing or redwing teal or diver. These, as wa informed. was the result of one days shooting from the gun. The birds are easily reached by those who are experienced in shooting them and so abundant are they that you can get brace of splendid mallards. in prime condition for 30 cents, or dozen brace for $2 5O.-Co, respondent of tue Montreal Herald
