Halifax to-day for the murder of Engi-
neer Dodd at this place on the 22nd of
February last Dowdin was stried in the
criminal court of Halifax county five DAYS
after the murder was committed and
sentenced to be haged on the 18th of
March. An appeal to the supreme court
was taken and Judgment of lower court
affirmed, and date of execution fixed by
the governor for to-day. He assembled
the scaffold at four minutes after 7
O'Clock, and after short religious services
he said: Il killed the man. I shot him
from the left side of the tender. am
sorry for it." The drop fell at SIT. and
twelve minutes later Dowdin was pro
nounced dead by physicians. The con-
demned man was perfectly cool and
showed no signs of fear. The execution
was private.

A Kamr Wedding.

Having resolved to attend Kaftir
or otherwise, the visitor to the Trans
vaal has first to make choice of the
means of arriving upon the scene of ac-
ton. There is generally a light wagon,
in which he can be bumped and jolted
over the "veldt," shaving the great
ant-hills as if by a miracle, with all his
energies concentrated in saving his
head and his hat from being smashed
against the sides of the cart, the horses
going full gallop most Of the time. Or
he can ride, with the chance of his
horse putting his foot into one of the
deep holes made by the "aardvark or
ant-bear, and coming to most signal
grief a thing which, fortunately, sell
dom happens. Coming to close quar-
ters, the visitor cannot fail to be struck
by the dignified and unaffected courte-
sy with which he or she for ladies are
equally welcome) is received. Here is
an assemblage of what some highly
cultivated people are pleased to call
uneivilized savages, less than half
clothed, and in state of violent excite
ment, which at times seems half fren-
zied, yet no sooner do white visitors ap-
pear than an 'Induna,'' or headring
man, approaches with his "Inkose,"
and military salute; the best seats are
provided close to the bridegroom, and
Kaffir beer is handed to the guests in
gOurds.
Meanwhile, the dances are being car
ried on with a fervor that never wanes,
for eight or ten hours at a stretch.
The men wear the large plumes of
black feathers, which cover their heads
and hang down their backs. With
their cowhide shields and waving
spears they are continually in motion.
The effect produced by the small par
ties of Zulus who have been brought to
England is but the palest shadow of
the thrilling sensation inspired by the
sight of some hundreds of these mag
nificent people in a state of the widest
enthusiasm, and yet observing the
most perfect discipline in their man
oeuvres. They shout, they grunt, they
advance and retreat, stamping until
the ground actually trembles, and at
last fall into a procession which moves
towards their "kraal," dancing all the

THE GOLD IN THE COUNTRY.

In spite OF the long continued attack
upon this country's supply of gold it is
believed that there are about $500 200, 900
of it still left here. The national banks
on July IL, 1895, showed cash items
amounting to SAT-, 900 900, of which s171,-
216,S37 was in gold and gold certificates.
A like proportion of gold in the hold
ings of State and private banks would
yield a total of about s95 1000 900. and.
with the gold in the treasury at that
time, would show q visible supply of
about s4OO,o0O,O 900. This, with the gold
in actual circulation on the Pacific coast
and in private boards, would raise the
probable amount in the country close
to the sum of $500, 1000
Comptroller Eckels is going to try to
find out how reliable this $600,OO0,000 es-
innate is. He is going to ask every
bank in the country to classify it's cash
holdings on fixed date, which is like
ly to be the settling day. nearest to-
July /, in the community where the
bank is located Returns will thus be
obtained for the entire country for
substantially the same date. The comp
troller expresses the hope in regard to
banks not conducted under the national
banking act, that responses win be as
general and complete as from those who
are connected officially with this Office"
He declares that 'such courtesy will
be greatly appreciated" and the assur-
ance is given that the publication of
the information submitted will be con-
fined to a general summary of the re-
turns. The comptroller believes that
the information sought will be of value
to every banker in solving monetary
problems, and determining the strength
intends to exert himself to make the re-
turns as complete as possible, and will
follow UP the first circular, which will
be sent out early next month, by later
letter, directing attention to the subject
and asking the banks not to neglect it.
OF course it will be Interesting to
know Just what the situation is. And
if Comptroller Eckels will invent some
sound and sensible way of dealing with
it he will do more than the administra-
ton with which he is connected has
hitherto been able to do,
