." London, July 3. Over 700 Danish
and Norwegian emigrants bound for
-New York are believed to have been
drowned in the North Atlantic en
June 28. Out of nearly 800 souls on

which left Copenhagen June 22, only
27 are known to be alive and for the
rest no hope is held out. ' )
When last seen the Norge was sink
ing where she struck on the Islet of
Rockall, whose isolated peak raises it
self from a deadly Atlantic reef, some
290 miles off the west com of Scot
land. Early on the . rooming of last
Tuesday the Norge, which was out of
her course in heavy weather, ran onto
the Rockall reef. The Norge was
quickly backed off but the heavy seas
poured in through a rent in her bows.
The emigrants, who were, then
: awaiting their breakfast, ran on deck.
.The hatchways were scarcely built for
these hundreds of souls and became
clogged, s. "
A survivor gives the following ac
count of the disaster :
" "We were waiting for the call to
breakfast, when there was a violent
bump. Then another bump, and I
rushed on deck. I saw at once that
something scrims had happened, and
I made a dash below to gether up my
belongings.
"Scores were rushing on deck and
'the hatchway was crowded with emi
grants. They were launching boats
and rushing into them, but there was
no panic. u

to fill rapidly.

of progress may be slow but it is sure
and substantial The need of an up-
to-date auditorium in this place is one
of long standing,, but at' last tbtf de
sired accommodation" are. to be had.
MessrsCook & Foil will begin work
at an early date on a building that will
not only be a credit to the town but
will supply the demand for a first-
class auditorium. The building, two
stories, will be ' erected by the tide of
second floor of which has been secured
by the Collegiate Institute and Mont
Amoena Seminary and will be fitted up
by those schools with the necessary
stage furnishings, seats, t etc, making
it a most desirable; place in wit h they
hold their commencements, as Well as
other exercises during the year.' The
hall will have a seating capacity of
600 and perhaps more. .This ' is de
cidedly one of the best things for the
schools that has come their way in re
cent years, and the principals, through
whose efforts the auditorium has been
realized, are to be congratulated. The
liberal terms of Messrs, Cook & Foil
are to be appreciated, not by the
friends of the schools merely, but by
the public at large. ,
A change has gone into effect ii our
mail service, and it is to be hoped that
an improvement will result. In some
respects the facilities heretofore have
not been thoroughly satisfactory, for
which the carriers have aiot been 'en
tirely to blame. By the new arrange
ment we have return mail the same
morrow for the Piedmont Summer
school at Davidson College. : ' m
