Piailway and street car travel was completely suspended and business of all kind was paralyzed. â€" At meetings of Toronto City Council and the Council of the Board of trade Monday last resolutions were passed urging the Grand Trunk and Canadian pacific railways to consider the advisability of erecting a grand passanger station common to all rail • wayu centering in Toronto. i'here was a 'ruction in Ireland on St. Patrick's day. It began by two factions fighting with each other,- then factious united to attack a tavern with stones, and lastly both set on the police. It seeurs that there is one hnake that St. Patrick failed to drive out of Ireland, and that if he would come back and do it now the best halt â- of Ireland's miseries, as well as of her rows, would be gone. â-  â- Â«Â» â-  CCHAZrOE CXFPZHOS. aSdafardBoad. snowstorm tbe O.

Laurance, Bentick, about a mile from town left a little child about three years old in the house, while she went to milk. On returning she was horri- fied to find the childs clotnes m flames and on being extinguished it was found the little one was very severely burnt, so much so that it died the next day.
