sitting close to him No high words
were heard between them, and the
fret alarm was the sound Of a shet.
Carey was shotright through the neck
de turned IS il 10 make for
his wiie's berth, aud O'Donuell
shot him twice in the back and
then Carey fell at the end Of the
saloon table. Mrs. Carey rushed out
aud threw herself on her hu.band, but
the only words he said were, "Oh,
Maggiel I'm shotl' The Captain came
forward at once and had 0'Donnell
arrested aud medical assistance sun,
moned for the dying man.
A TBAdIcsoENE.
The scene was one never to be for
gotten. Mrs. Carey writing, her little
children crying about her, Mrs
ODonnell with her arms around her
husbands neck weeping too, while the
stewards we're rushing around to do
what they could for the fast expiring
man. 1t was evident he could not
live long, aud within three. quarters Of
an hour James Carey's corpse was
removed to a house on deck.
On anchoriDg in Algoa Bay,o Mon
day, at hall past 0 p m, the Cap
tain went ashore and reported to the
authorities. O'Donnell and the
corpse we're taken ashore. When The
little steamer brought up at the jetty,
a crowd Of 500 people had gathered
and a slight cheer was raised as
ODonnell walked firmly up the stage.
The question most asked IS whetf n
O'Donnell left England with the in
{ ntion Of tracking Carey or whether
be conceived the idea at Cape Town.
They were friendly enough on the
voyage out, occasionally playing cards
add dr-ughts together. Mrs. Carey,
who has been a very handsome woman.
is still at Port Elizabeth, and how.
ever the fate Of her husband nay be
regarded, she and her family have
much sympathy shown them.

WATERFoRp.-The first anniversary OF
the Home School In Water ford, Miss H. f
Douglass Principal, occurred last week.
There were but two young ladies In the
graduating class: Miss Lizzie NJ. Chad
bourne of Waterford, subject Of essay,
"Silence is golden" and Miss Hattie L.
Bearce, subject ef essay, "Coins and what
we read from them" Rev. Mr.. Richards
preached an appropriate baccalsureate SER
mon, Sabbath morning, from Prov. XXI,
30-3l, theme, Usefulness rather than
Prettiness." The examination or classes
Monday and Tuesday q. m, at the school
room and parlOr OF the Home, were very
creditable to the school, showing most
careful and thorough instruction and faith
ful study. The graduating parts OF the
young ladies were delivered In the Congre-
gational church, on Tuesday evening, be-
fore large and interested audience, and
were also creditable, giving evidence Of no
little reading and reflection In their prepa-
ration. These were followed by the ami
versary address by Prof. j. S. Sewall, Of
Bangor, who was very happy both In the
selection OF his theme aud in his manner
of presenting it. The presentation of the
diplomas, prayer and benediction, were by
members OF the examining committee
present. Excellent music, vocal and pi-
ano, some of it very fine indeed, was furn-
ished by members Of the school, at inter-
walls between the other exercises during
the evening. The commencement was an
interesting and successful one for the first,
and we trust that these young lady gradu-
ates are but the first fruits OF large num-
ber who shall profit by the excellent relig-
ious, as well as intellectual, training OF
this school. Carpenters are already at
work upon the Home, which is to be re.
paired and considerably enlarged during
the summer season.-Journal.
