Henry Moseley,59 of Bridgewater. Benjamin Wier,60 of Halifax. The struggle between the parties will be great. The Arch Demagogue Joe Howe, who has been hired by the Radical faction, has in conjunction with the radical candidates, been perambulating the County, holding their meetings at different places and endeavouring to persuade ignorant people that their party are all right, and that their opponents are all wrong. Saturday, 30th,—Death has been busy this week, two more of our townsfolk departed this life this morning, namely John Fink, an old inhabin- tant, aged 82 years, and Mrs. Margery Rhuland, wife of William Rhuland, aged 24 years, the latter died of the prevailing disease, sore throat.

Wednesd. llth,—A water logged vessell was yesterday fallen in with, about 15 miles off Green Island, by one of our Lehave vessels, and towed into Lehave; she proved to be the Schooner "Amazon" of Halifax laden with flour, which vessell was run into by a Barque from Glasgow bound to Bos- ton; the accident took place on Sunday last.
