[" VE EE ru YEKAR\u2014NO.108 TERRIBLE SCENE IN A THFRATRE.À terrible saone took.place in the Fhentro del Circo at Madrid a fow days ago.During the performance 8 modman forced his way into the house, arsued with a hatchet, und contrived to climb from the suditorium upon the stage, where, brandishing his wea- port furloualy, he announced himself to the terrifled audience as \u201cthe Avenger of Mankind.\u201d Upon one of the attendants approaching him with the object of persuading him to withdraw from the stage he smote the unforia pesto man to the carth with one deadly blow; and he managed to keep the police off, when tnoy uttempled to arrest him, by wiirling his hatchet round his head with such force and swiftness that none of the \u201cagents of authority\" dared (o rush in upon him.Presently, Lowever, à party of voldiers made their appeurance in the theatre, under the command of an officer who summoned the raging maniac to give up his weapon and surrender bimaolf, but in vain; whereupon the de- tachntent received orders to fire st him with blank cartridge, in she hope of frightening him into submission.All this while be waa yell ing at the top of his voice, flourishin his hatohet, and throutened to \u2018 kill anybody who should approact him.Rocognizing the impossibility of overpowering him without risking the soldiers\u2019 lives the officer in command ve the order to load with bal! and re upon him.A minute later the wretched man lay a corpse upon the Mage, three bullets having passed through his head; and, this highly seneationul dramatic episode having been thus brought to a close, the sudience returned to their places, from which they had fled in terror when the madman made bis first and last ap pearance upon the stage, and tho evening's performances were resumed at the point at which they had been interrupted by * Mankind's Avenger.\u2019 \u2014 London Telgraph NORTHWEST ITEMS.Fort Walsh, April 16.This little rettiement has agaiu this week to mourn the death of one of its few inhubitants, Mr.Robert Kiilally, book-keeper for the firm of J.G.Baker & \u20aco.died very suddenly on the morning of the 13th, after ten hours\u2019 illness.He was buried with military honors by the Mounted Police, he having once been a sergeant of the force.On Baturdny of last week the Blackfoot Chicf Yellow Horse and about forty warriors arrived at the Fort on foot.They and part: of Crowfoot's band had attacked the Sioux at the \"Little Rockies,\u201d near the lines, and killed six of their enemies.The Sioux afterwards stole-all their horsce, and left them in à most destitute condition.The polico are on the alert to prevent further trouble, Constable Holtorf, of B Troop, met with a puintul uccident last wook.While leading his horse to water the animal.became frightened snd kicked bim in the face, breaking his jaw.\u2014 1t seems that the British navy hae narrowly escaped another Thunderer avçident.Vanity Fair thus relates the story : \u201cA fow duÿs ago à voasel of the Channel Squadron was at heavy: un préolice at ses, firing at a targel.n élestrio broadside had beun fired by the officer in charge of the \u2018Director\u2019 on the upper deck.One of the gurs in the main deck battory missed fire & fact which the captain ol the gun (A petty officer) did not notice, nor, apparently, could any of the crew have unlightened him on the subject.The gun was run in by hand and load ed again under the vaperintendenoo of \u2018No.1; and it was by the mercat cha ce that officer of the quarters G discovored thut one of his guns was doubly loaded.Now, the charges in the yun were (1) a battering charge of finy pounds Jrbble powder and à Palliser shot of 200 pounds; (2) a full churyo of thirty pourde R.L.G und a Palliser shot.\"Hud the gun poen Brod with these two charges, the result on 8 dock crowded with men, must Lav boca awful In this case nobydrantio machinery wus used in conneetion with ihe loading, and the rammerstntt wan not \u201celescopio.\u2019\u201d Hows Nr vod « Humtiagion: - this \"prspoce pari » visit so Europe |- a \u2014 MORES ET STUDI4 ET POPULOS ET PRÆLIA DICAM\u2014 Viry.Georg.IV $- QUEBBO, FHIDAY.MAY T, 1880, \u2014 ALMOST À RAILROAD DISASTER.À Locomotive Thrown Of the Track Fortunate Recape of the Engineer and!

Catholic, introduced an inwrpellation contesting the validity of the ancient statutes cited by the government in support of decrees against unauthorised religious congregations The Minister of Justice, M, Casot, argued that the luws wore porfecily valid and liad not in any sense allen into disu-e, but hud slways been enfurced whon the guv- ernment of the day considered it neces.sury, although various governments bad from time to time allowed them to remain in abeyance, either through negligence or culpable cunnivaneg, « held that the #7 | Ropablic was perfectly justified in defending itself, and the government, would, therufore, put into operation tho existing laws, as it was thoir right aud duty to do.M, Casot was warmly applauded, and republican members who hud intended to speak stated that in view of the declaration of the Minister of Justice they would rvfrain from debate.M.Lamy thon proposed an order of the day demanding that tho iaw re'ating to the right of asso ciations be immediately lsid on the tabie.The Guvernment moved the order of the day pure snd simple, whieh was adopted by a vote ot 362 to 137.Mr.8.D.Woodruff, late Superin Lteudent of tho
