Petty Sessions: Assault: Elizabeth Godbeer, of Chudleigh, was summoned by Jas. Godbeer, of Torquay, for an assault committed at the former place, on the 12th inst. Complainant has property at Chudleigh, and was there on the day in question. Defendant, her husband, and sister were standing in the pathway. Defendant came towards him and using foul expressions, struck him with a lock in the face: Had said nothing to her previously. Abraham Pinsent gave corroborative evidence. Defendant denied it. The parties are brother and sister; the quarrel arose out of a little disputed right of property. Case dismissed — no jurisdiction. Mr. Carter, for the complainant, applied for a case for the court above, but it was not granted.

Drowning in the St. Lawrence: The Montreal Weekly Gazette of the 17th inst: Says: We regret to learn that there is now no doubt of the fact that the Rev. Mr. McCrae, of Chateauguay Basin, and Messrs Pincent and Alex. Fullarton, of the same place, were drowned in the St. Lawrence off that place, on Tuesday morning. The wind was rather high at the time, and when last seen they were sailing down the river at a very rapid pace. The light-housekeeper observing this went into the house for his glass in order to see who they were, and while in heard a loud scream. On coming out again the boat had disappeared, and there is no doubt that the yacht was then upset, and the whole party went down. The boat was found on Friday at Laprairie, much damaged. The unfortunate young men were highly respected, and deeply regretted by all who knew them. The Rev. Mr. McCrae had just entered on his duties as Free Church missionary at Chateauguay.

Kingsteignton: An Act of Kindness: The esteem and respect in which Miss Ann Pinsent is held by her class in the Independent Sunday School was manifested on Sunday last, by their presenting her with a gold pencil case, purchased by their united contributions. It is easy to conceive the surprise of Miss Pinsent at this unlooked-for act of kindness, the remembrance of which will not readily be forgotten, whilst the “tangible token” will ever be preserved in grateful remembrance.

THE DINNER Took place in Smethurst’s Unitarian School Room, which the trustees generously placed at the service of the town here, be it noted, for the honour of the town, that all classes and sects united as one man to promote the purpose of the day, the only emulation being who should contribute most to the general joy.
