Alex. Howard was summoned before the Police Magistrate some days ago for an alleged violation of the town by-laws, which provides that a non-ratepayer cannot do business in the town without a license. Howard was adjudged to pay a fine of twenty dollars, and when constable Baker undertook on Tuesday to levy on his goods and chattels by virtue of a distress warrant, he was assaulted by Howard, Eliza, his wife, and William, his son, who summarily ejected him from the premises; warrants were procured, and town Marshal and a posse of constables raided his store an hour later, and the two men were arrested. They were forthwith brought before before the Police Magistrate charged with unlawfully assaulting a constable in the execution of his duty, and remanded until Wednesday.
The preliminary examination was held on Wednesday afternoon and the Howards committed for trial. Eliza Howard was discharged upon her entering in a recognizance with sureties in the sum of fifty dollars, but the Magistrate held the other prisoners to bail in the sum of two hundred and fifty dollars each.
The prisoners counsel upon application to Judge Stevens had the bail reduced to the sum of fifty dollars.
S. B. Appleby appeared for the prosecution, A. B. Connell for the prisoners.

Janie, daughter of Robert Stephenson of this Town, who went out to St. Paul last Autumn, has evidently been employing her time to good advantage since going there. In an examination in the Institute which she is attending she made the following creditable marks:
In First Grammar, 97; Arithmetic, 95; American History, 86; Spelling, 100; Drawing, 96; Writing, 98; Algebra, 92; Second Grammar, 95; in all an average of 95 out of a possible 100. She was at a disadvantage in American History, as she had not had until going there the advantage of a study in this branch such as is required by their examinations. Her young friends here will be pleased to learn of her success.

Two letters of good deal more than usual interest will be found in our columns this week; one from Miss Louisa Hartley, of Southampton, who a few months ago took her departure for the mission field in S. W. Africa, and the other from Mrs. A. B. Boyer, of Grafton, who, with her husband, chose the plains and wilds of India, with a similar object. We had made arrangement with each before leaving home for correspondence to the Press, as we knew they had many more friends desirous of hearing from them than they could probably take time to write to. Now, that they have each arrived at their destination and commenced their work, their friends may expect to hear from them frequently through this medium.

A little girl, who had been attending Miss Faulkner's school, on learning that her teacher had resigned her charged here for the Mission field in Africa, gave vent to her feelings in the following verses:
I come to school this morning, and oh ! how much I fear,
That our dear and loving teacher will not be with us here:
For she is going far away,
And will leave us all today;
But we must be content and good,
As little children always should,
And not have our feelings low,
For a good purpose she will go.
There's a land across the ocean, and people o'er the sea,
Who do not know the blessing the Saviour to them may be;
If you don't know, then I'll tell you, there are heathen's over there,
Who in all the Saviour's blessings, never have nor know a share;
And it seems so good our teacher should go to tell them all,
Large grown up men and women, and little ones so small.

She was married in Richmond, N.B. to Wm. Tovey, from Waterford, Ireland. They removed to Queensbury, York County, where all their family were born. They came to Glassville about twenty-four years ago, where one of their daughters was married to A. Spence, one of our esteemed and successful farmers here. Her husband preceded her to the spirit land a year before her own demise. She was a sister of the late John Blue, who died the other day at Richmond at the advanced age of 104 years. During her long life she was much looked up to and beloved by all who knew her, on account of her unostentatious piety and the many virtues of her public and private life.

A HORRIBLE AFFAIR
Word was received here last Monday, by Mr. Owen Kelly, of a brutal affair which occurrred near Grand Falls the Wednesday before (Feb.16th), and by which his son-in-law, James F. Blake, and his nephew, Henry Kelly of Debeck, were so badly beaten that the latter died of his injuries on the following Saturday. They were engaged in peddling dry goods and clothing, and whilst in a French house on the opposite of the river from Grand Falls Village were attacked and beaten.
A correspondent thus decribes the affair:
"They were showing some goods when a crowd of frenchmen came in, all of whom were more or less intoxicated; one of them walked up to Blake and called him hard names, and struck him in the face and breast; Kelly ran to his assistance, but was caught by some others; he got up against the wall and managed to keep his feet, after the exchange of a few blows, Blake and Kelly both managed to get out doors, where some of the party followed them, and fired four shots after them; happily none of them were struck by shots. They got away, and found the Deputy Sheriff, who went back with them and got their hats and goods. They applied to the authorities but no one would issue a warrant for the arrest of the desperadoes in the face of the coming elections. Medical aid was looked for, but could not be obtained short of Andover."
We have not heard of any arrests having yet been made. If the particulars are correct as stated above, and we can see no reason to doubt them, the authorities in that locality must be more than negligent of their duty. When human life is involved some effort should be made to reach and punish the guilty.
The body of Henry Kelly was sent by train to Debeck last Tuesday.

John Barnett has been appointed agent for selling liquor under the C. T. Act. No doubt Mr. Barnett is as good a man as we could get for the business, but we believe that we voice the sentiments of the majority of the people here, and in this vincinity, when we say that no agency is needed.

First, because it is manufactured at home; second, it is cheap; third, neither our loyalty to home manufactures, nor the saving of a few dollars, would tempt us to buy a spring bed unless that bed would spring to suit us; it should fit restfully under a weary body, rest soothingly under an aching limb, and bring sweet peace and rest to the worn and tired.

Gillmore Bros. have deeded two acres of land to the Metropolitan, as a site for an English Church and burying ground. The idea of making this gift was long, we believe, entertained by the late Wellington Gillmore, Esq., who requested his family to bury him in the lot, which was accordingly done. His children with dutiful piety have surrounded their father's last resting place with an elegant fence to preserve that portion of " God's acre " in the meantime from trespass. Arrangements, we understand, will be speedily made for taking preliminary measures towards the erection of the projected new place of worship. It is proposed to put up a church, that shall not only be sufficiently commodious to meet the religious wants of the neighborhood, but be a beautiful architectural ornament to the place. The expenses of building and laying out and ornamenting the burying ground will be defrayed chiefly by the different members of the Gillmore family, who for generations both in Ireland and here have been staunch supporters of the Episcopal Church. A very beautiful and massive granite monument will shortly be erected over the late W. Gillmore's remains.

Bloomfield Items
A Public Temperance Meeting was held here on Friday, Nov. 26th. J. Weldon Plummer was elected chairman, and with a few well-chosen remarks introduced the speaker of the evening, Jas. P. Nowlan, Deputy of the Grand Lodge, I. O. G. T. He gave a very interesting account of the temperance work throughout the province and other parts of the world, and appealed to the temperance people of this place to organize a Lodge for the purpose of forwarding this grand movement. The chairman then called upon Alex. Strong, H. E. Fleming, Wm. Simmons, Jas. Foster and others to speak on the question, who responded by short addressses in favor of organizing a Lodge at Bloomfield. Good music was furnished by the choir, Miss Lillie Alterton presiding at the organ.
We have had good sleighing here for the past two weeks, and business prospects seem to be good for the holiday season.
George Peoples, of Hartland, has opened a boot and shoe store in the Cheney Building, and seems to have already secured a good trade.
