Fine weather and the hopes of seeing a capital exhibition of the national Canadian pastime, induced about 4000 people recently to ;ass the turnstile at Lonl's Cricket Ground, when the above-ment oned tams played their second match in London. The interest displayed in the proceedings by those pr sent was very great, and every good piece of checking, passing, or dodging was loudly applauded. At first the Canadi who an. nnuch faster, all round. than thpr rivals, bad the V, •e the play, and got the rubber past White legi.• oal, and ,cored first, after sevk n minutes' play. On res.t 114 a Couple Of very strong attacks were made on the Canadian stronghold, and after fifteen minAts' play the scores were equa'ised. Afterwards the Canadians had much the best of the proceedings ; they played cooler, and checked much closer, and, despite the loud admonitions of "Big John" to his torn, goal aft, goal was scored against them, till at half time the moot stood sto lie favour of the Canadians. After a short interval for rest, a fre(h start was made, and although the Indians pressed their rivals (era time, it was not for long, and once the ball was transferred in front of tine " red " flags, the Canadian 'att. k fields would not rest until they had scored again and again,. "Whit, Eagle," "Strong Aire," and "Whispering Leave." rendered their ride nerd service, but the Camulims ul(imately won by nine games to two. The shies were comeosed as follows: Canadian Amateurs W.

It is not dmirable to stop a train in a tunnel, and this must oily be done in cams of great emergency.  A CASE of supposed suicide' recently occurred In Fdinburgh, in which the fiielity of a collie dog was etrikin :ly exhibited. The body of a man, with hi-, face besmeared with blood, wee observed lying in a field at Dairy, but wee no watched by the dog that emend persons who attempted the task could not get near it. In the meantime the police were communicated with, and, after manreuvring, the body was ultimately reached. It wan fmmd to be that of a barber, to whom the dog did not, however, belong. The unfortunate man appeared to have shot histmeN. He had a pistol in one of his hands, and a deep wound, as if from a shot, in his forehead. _ . _  AT Edinburgh • girl, about 9 years of age, named Jane Donaldson, recently fell over the precipitous rocks known as Sampson's Ribs, in the Queen's-park.
