Tenedos arrived here from Halifax to-day. , .«.>  The S.S. Cohan will be due here from Montreal on Saturday next. .**  We learn that one hundred banking schooners had arrived at St. Pierre up to yesterday noon, all with good fares. .+.  The sohooner " Rose May/ belonging to Messrs. Alan Goodridge & Sons, arrived at Bay Bulls yesterday from the Banks with equal to 500 quintals dry fish. _ >#» .  The steamer Ardandhu, from New York via Halifax, left the latter port for St. John's at 6 o'olook last evening. Among her passenger* is His Lordship the Bishop of Newfoundland. It may not be amiss to aoquaint tbe Chairman of the Board of Works with the circumstance, that a horse fell through one of our oriooipal streets this forenoon and " almost entirely disappeared in the sewer drain below.'' .*,  Rover, the Newfoundland dog belonging to Daniel P. Weir, of Salem, Mass , who saved Mr. Weir's little boy from drowning last winter, now wears the collar presented him by the Massachusetts Humane Society. The outfit at Harbor Grace for tbe Labrador fishery the present season will, we are informed, be the smallest for the past twenty-five years. It appears that the unsettled state of society over there is largely to blame for the retrogressive oiroumstanoe to whioh we refer. <♦>  The Allan steamer Novascotian arrived here I t ■ from Queenstown and Liverpool about three o'olook this afternoon. Besides the usual mail matter, she brought a considerable quantity ot freight and the following passengers : — Rev. Wm. Jones (brother of His Lordship Bishop Jones), Mrs. Jones, infant, nurse and maid, Mr. W. S. Rafter, Mr. A. J. Harvey, Mrs. Prior, Miss M. Prior, Master E. Prior, the Misses Rendcll (2), Mr. S. Reudell, Com. W. Karslake; three intermediate and threcjin steerage. .♦,  Sudden Death of a Newfoundlander Abroad.—The new sohooner Fannie W. Freeman, Captain Maurioe Whelan, sailed from Gloucester on a maokereling trip on the -»th instant, and put into Tarpaulin Gove on the following day. On Tuesday last she returned to Gloucester with the body of Miohael Heneberry, the oook, who died suddenly of heart disease while preparing breakfast on the previous Sunday morning. He was a native of Newfoundland and 52 years af age. «♦»—  a foot-ball matoh—the " Victoria Natives versus the Terra Nova F. o."—was played at Quidividi on Saturday last, resulting in an easy victory for the Terranovas by two goals to nothing—the goal-keeper on the winning side only handling the ball twice. The game oommenoed at 3.30 by the natives kioking off from midfield. The Terranova half-back returned it among his forwards, and they kept it pretty well in front of the natives' goal during tbe game. On account of the wind being so high, it made it difnoult for the forwards to play the passing game. While our interest in the fishery seems to be flagging, we observe that the people of the neighboring provinoe are becoming more and more alive to the importanoe of this great industry. Nova Sootia, for instanoe, has added very considerably to her fleet of fishing sohooners. The Mysotis, of Port Medway, a handsome vessel of 93 tons, has reoently been launohed for the Western Bank hand-line fishery. She is to oarry a orew of twenty men. At East Port Medway there are several vessels under construction to be engaged in fishing this season. Lottie M. Hardy, 97 tons, Captain Hardy, of Lookport, launohed at Mahone Bay, April 28* Blanche, 100 tons, Captain Charles Smeltzer, Grand Banker, and Bridewell, Captain Charles Mason, 77 tons, both of Lunenburg, N. S. Gymberline, of Bridgewater, built at Conquerall Bank, pronounoed by a Yankee skipper "almost equal to our American fishermen in her model ;" and the S. A. Crowell, 2\ tons, shore fisherman, Salmon River, Digby County. In the Dominion Provinces shipbuilding is briskly carried on, while here in Newfoundland tbe Receiver General and other prominent members of the present Government are doing all in their power to discourage those of our people who are desirous of engaging in that highly necessary pursuit, as we shall take occasion to show in a subsequent issue.

Eaei.e, Jeweler, 210 Water IStreet  Newsboy Honesty—One of the little, ragged, kioked-about newsboys of the city, reoentiy was seen hurrying through the noonday orowd of pedestrians and teams, at the Winter street intersection of Washington street, and heard to mumble as he went along, ' Just let mc see that green gown again.' Finally he found ' that green gown," for he soon appeared before a lady dressed in green-coloured silk, who was about stepping into one of the large stores of the locality. His first inquiry, with a hand behind him, was, " say, mann, lost anything ?' The reply was, ' I rather think not, my little fellow.' 1 Well, I guess yes I seen yer drop this wallet when I was over tbe way sellin' papers. A man was just pioking her up, when I slipt at we en his legs and gobbled her. Here she is mann," and saying this, he held out to her a beautiful Parisian porte-mannaie, whioh she recognized as belonging to herself. With a I'thank you, bright, little, honest boy,' she gave 'him a two-dollar treasury note of the sixty Idollars' worth of property he had found. This |wab * pin-money' nnespectedly well spent.— \Boston Herald.
