On Monday afternoon a terrible craih took place in New York by the' falling of a row of eight fiye-itory buildings on 62od street. There were forty five men at work on the boilding (which was in coarse of constmction) the greater part of whom were hurried in the ruins, many killed and others severely wounded. The buildings were commenced last fall and were to be completed by Ist June, to cost an average of $15,000 each, and to ac- commodate twenty-five families each. Bad material and poor workmanship caused the collapse of the structuie. .^»i! y fnlf ' 'y^-«i*riMi ENGLAND AND RUSSIA. The hopes of a peaceful settlement are well nigh gone. The Russians and Afghans have already had a battle in which the latter were repulsed, loosing five hundred men, while the former are said to have lost but ten. England demanded complete repara- tion from Russia, but the reply is un- satisfactory, and war is almost certain. Every preparation is being made for a struggle on both sides. Turkey is likely to join hands with England. The presidency of Bengal has offered £8,500,000 to aid in preserving the integrity of the British empire. No Scare at Brandon. Bbandon, April 14. â€" In spite of the troubles in thin province the police here are not excited, and seeding is going on rapidly, and on a larger scale than last season. ^Farmers are hoping for a plentilul hanrest, as a heavy demand is anticipated. •«â- Â»- Fleslicrton. From our own eorretpondent. On Satui'day last we noticed a num- ber of the young men of Markdale in town who had come down for a holi- day and to witness the volunteer par- ade, among the number we noticed Mr. Porter, teacher Mr. Smith, the popular young man from McFarland'e, and our i^enial friend Mr. Jackman of the Standard. The Flesherton oompany (No. 6) of volunteers were notified to meet at the drill-shed here on Saturday afternoon last, but owidg to the death of Sergt Hamlin of Maxwell, who was a mem- ber of this (the 8 Ist) battalion. As many of the company as could be noti- fied had to leave early on Saturday morning to attend the funeral of the deceased to nay their last tribute of respect and millitary honors at the grave of the departed. The volunteers assembled at the drill- shed here and presented quite a military appearance as they marched through the village, headed by the band playing some popular airs. A few more members gathered throdgh the day, but there was not much drill as it was late in the afternoon before the company re- turned. Painful Accidknt. â€" Mr. John Kerr of the 8rd line Artemesia. met with a iiad accident on Monday last while out in the woods chopping, his axe glanc ing from a small tree near to him and inflicting a terrible gash across his foot, almost severing purt of the foot. .A.S Mr. Kerr was aJone at the time and about fof a mile from any assist- ance, the marvel is how he managed to crawl home with ruch a severe wound. Dr. Christoe was immediately summoned, and skifully dressed the wound, and since we learn the patient is doing well. Wooed her, won her, and got her. â€" Mr. James Gadd, Uaoksmith here, has felt that it was not good for men to live alone, and ha;) taken unto him self a partner in life in the person of Miss Osborn. daughter of our re^et* ed citizen, Mr. John Osbnrn. Qn Wednesday morning last they were united in wedlock by tiie Rev. A Wil- son, at the residence of the bride's father. Wo wish them a prosperous and a happy journey through life.

Ottawa, April 10.. â€" In the House of Commons to-day Sir John Mac- dunald said â€" I regret to have to announce th^t there has been a massacre at Frog Lake, which is a matter of forty miles north of Fort Pitt. A telegram has been received from Mr. Dickens, whn cojimandsthe Montreal Police at Fort Pitt. He says there was A HASBACBE AT FKOO LAKE, and that the following were killed â€" Thomas F. Quinn, Indian Agent, a Half-breed; James Delaney, farm instructor Mr. Gowanlock, wlio is a miller, and his wife JEtev. Father Fafard, a priest Father La Marehaud, a priest, and two others not known. I believe they were lay brethren. Mrs. Delaney is prisoner. H. Quinn, a nephew of Qainn who was murdered, escaped and arrived at Fort Pitt yesterday. The late of Cameron, of the Hudson Bay Company, is unknown. There are under Inspector Dickens at FoTt Pitt 25 Mounted Police. That is the news which I have received. Hon, A. l^laokenzie Are there in refugees at Fort Pitt Sir John Macdonald â€" ^I am not aware. There are very few people at Fort Pitt. It is a mere Police station between Battleford and Edmonton. That is all thit I know about it. Whether they will hold out at Fort Pitt or move eastward towards Battleford, which is nearer than Edmonton, I do not know. I expect to hear every moment or very shortly what further has happened, and I shall communicate it from time to time to the House without delay. THK aXBBI. PBOOKAK. Orders have been issued instracting the united half-breeds and Indian fen- ces to ImM one of the' crossings, the exaet plaee to be determined upon as cirenmstancM may direct, against the troopel When General Middleton ar. riyes there(Batoche's Crossing is likely t» be tba place) Biel will send 1^ flag of trace and submit the bill of rights. If tiie geoefti dedioes ta treat, Irat not otherwise, Kiel will then fight. He calculates that bv the time the troops get to aarke's Crossing, the situation at Battleford. Fort Pitt, V/otori» and Ednumton will be such as td coiup^ General Middleton tu send most fif his troop* to the rohef of those places • and that the half-breeds at Batoohe'e will be able to offer a sucoessfiilT*:d8l^ ance to the teiiiiunder. Nolin boesu that before Middleton reaches Clark»*« the iMlf-lmeds and IndwQS on 1^ Manitoba frontur will hvr^ risen. BIBI. Oa DKWMIKT. The Winnipeg Sun says:â€" The following resolatum was put before a meeting held at Wolsdey last week, called two firom a bomisi guard. It was moved by a leading Cm- serrative :â€" "That it is the opinion of the meeting that it is now time for the Goyernment to take decisive action, and that their first shall be that orders be issued to haog Biel to the first tree when he is oangbt, but if their must be delay that it shall only be long enough to capture Dewdney, and hang the two togather." The chairmau refused to put the motion, but as it was seconded he was forced to do so, and it was earned, KIEI TO PABLRT WITH MIDDLETON. « FoBT Qu'Appelle, N. W- T. April 18.â€" The general impression here is that Biel will attempt to hold a parley with General Middleton at Batoche's or Gabriel's Crossing. The general will no doubt demand an unconditional surrender, and Biel will refuse and make a fight, and then retreat either to the northern forest, or through the Battleford and Pitt districts, which are now greatly ais- turbed, to the Peace nver country. Dumont and other leaders are however bent on fighting to the last. In any event it will be necessary to keep a large force of troops up north for the rest of the year. IN FBONT OF THK XEBEI.S. Swift Cubbkst, April 18. â€" Col. Otter's brigade, composed of the Queen's Own, half of 'C" company of the school of infantry, and "A" battery, haye advanced, discovered the rebols. and are within rifle range. A battle is expected at once, and the men are eager for the fray. There 'is great anxiety to know tiie result. TBOUBLE IN THE FAB WEST. Winnipeg. 13, 10.05 a. m. â€" Col. O'Biien's regiment, composed of the 12th York Bangers and the 85tli Simcoe foresters, received renewed instructions this momins: to proceed in haste to Calgary. It is thought here that the government has received bad news from that diutrict. The reported crossing of hostile bands from the United States eon- tmues, and there is no doubt that the condition ot affairs in Southern Manitoba is of the (gravest possible character. BIBI. WILI. FIOHT. Camp, via Touchwood Hills, April 18. â€" General Middleton has success- fully crossed the Salt Plains, and it is belieyed may be attacked at any moment. A settler has just come in from the infected districts. He reported that the insurgents are in force a short distance in advance, and that Biel has announced his intention of fighting to the bitter end. THK WINNIPEG BUDOKT. WiNNiPKG, April 18. 12.30.â€" A courier scout who reached Battl^ord last night from Prince Albert, reports seeing 800 Indians, many of them mounted, at Point Woods, on tliei Swift Current trail, twenty miles south of Battleford also of finding a large deposit of supplies on the roserre. Where the troops encamped last night is 180 miles from Battleford, where they expect to reach » Saturday, unless they hare a battle with Biel. TIm garrison can hold out till then if the.

Bnford, Poplar river, and Assiinboint, with |t eon tingent ot faithful Indian toouts. and are in close telegraphic communication with tlie war department at Washing- top, and the United States council at Winnip^. Gen. Terry's department, numbering 2,470 men, of which 1.900 are mounted, are ready to respond promptly to any order from Fort Suelling to move in Mipport of the neutrality laws of the Unitad States. There are other posits further west in Montana that will add to the above lorce. HOW WILIi THE TBOOPS OO MOW A telegram from Mr. Boss, of the Construction company, north of liaJte Superior, is to the effect that the troops must now be rushed over the line with all possible speed, and that more cannot be sent by this route, as a thaw is approaching, and a displace- ment of the line is certain. The ice has also broken on Lake Superior, and it will be impossible to get over the gaps for siime time. He expecto that the men now on the way will get over iu safety. MIDDLETON AWAITING KEINFOBCXMENTS. Humboldt, N. W. T.. April 18.â€" Whatever opinion may have been formed of the farcical nature of the expedition was changed to-night by the receipt of news from ttie north per messengers who have met and con- versed with the insurgent half-breeds. They say that the half breeds are now encamped on both sides of the river at Batoche's, the large force being on this side, and that having large quantities of provisions, a number of half-starved Indians have joined them. So far as can be learned, Kiel has about 250 Metis and between 800 and 600 Indians, including Sioux from Prince Albert district. The insurgents have 40 Winchesters, besides 20 Sniders, and 600 rounds of Snider ammunition captured in the Duck Lake fight, and a large number of bhotguns. They will have the ad- vantage of heavy woods in which to fight unless shelled out by artillery, and with their knowledge of this style of warfare may prove formidable foes. They are determined, it is said, to fight to the bitter end, several of theni having expressed themselves to couriers that, as hayiug only the alternative of bemg hanged or shot, they prefer the latter. While not hoping to succeed, they anticipate being able to seriously worry the military and prolong the campaign. This command, after five days' marching, in ^i»oh over 100 iniles have been cove^d through the mud and water rests here to-morrow, and to await the arrival of reinforcementi of 60 cavalry, under Major Boulton, and 250 Toronto Grenadiers under Colonel Grasett. On their aznval the combined force, over 800 strong, diyided into 183 artillery men with four nmepoonders. 617 inntiy men and 85 mounted men, will move forward with all possible speed. It is not probable the OatUng guns will reach the front in time hefore the action, which cannot take place before the latter part of this week, as we are seventy oules from the rebel fiwtifi- eatious.
