Tbe question 6t licensing tbe whisky
traffic baa long existed and worried tbe

to drink. The revenue thus derived
would be a princely one indeed, far ex-',

Here is a Frenchman's prescription
for curing warts, which is said never to
fail: Take a small piece of raw beef;
steep it all night in vinegar, cnt as
much from it as will cover the wart,

the forehead, fasten it on with strips of
sticking-p'aster. It may be removed in
the day and put on every night. In
one fortnight the wart will die and peel

On Sunday (the 7th) afternoon about
three o'clock Messrs. M. Longden, Wal

(who were in the employ ot L. Jiaker,

lighthouse on Entrance Island,) started
fjom the island in a good sea boat.
about 18 feet long and capable of carry
ing 12 persons, tor Nanaimo. When
the boat was 200 yards from the Island
it became necessary to "tack." I11 doing
so Longden, who weighs about 225
libs., failed to change his petition.
This caused the weight to be on one
hide, and the boat Billed and turned bot
tom upwards, The three men managed
to get on the keel ot the boat. In a
short time Sawyer slipped off and was
seen no more. After the boat had
drifted about a mile in the direction of
LigTithouse Island, Longden was seen
to drop into the chilling waters. The
boat, with Furguson still clinging to the
upturned keel, drifted out into the Gulf.
As the boat disappeared in the far dis
tance the form of a man conld be seen
upon it. The sea was t-mooth and the
wind light at the time of the accident,

have drifted ashore on some ot the
