ment of Canada, by order agreed upon
last Saturday, had determined to with

that several men were frozen to death
I in small canoes, which were canght out

were probably drowned. Three tramps
were frozen to death Sunday night near
Princess Anne.
It is stated the autopsy on the body of
General Butler snowed the cause of
death was the bursting of a small blood
vessel in the brain, caused by a violent
fit of coughing. All hie organs were in
excellent condition, and but for this ac
cidental cause he weuld probably lived
many years. His brain weighed four
eunoes more than that of Daniel Web
ster, one of the largest on record.
