ACCIDENT AT THE BATHS.

ißOtrr two o'clock tbis afternoon, three Inng men went into the Solid Rock Bath, L one of them made a dash, head down jrdfl from the springboard, thinking robably that there was S or 10 feet of water. la the fall, his head came in contact with the ock, and completely stunned him. His head as bleeding, and his back evidently much ijared, as when his friend got him out of the Jter and began to put on his clothes he ueamed loudly. A cab was procured at ice, and he was conveyed to the Provincial ospital. ■

THE HYDASPES IMMIGRANTS.

ANOTHER FEVER CASE,

As stated in our last issue it wag resolved that the single men and women at the Motu lii Quarantine Station, should come up to day, but that a dispute had arisen regarding tie charter of one of the Ferry Company's iteamers. We now learn that arrangements live been made for the charter of the iteamer Pretty Jane for the service, ad the single men and women mil be brought up on Thursday next. Since yesterday, word has bsen received that wither case of scarlet fever has appeared. Ibis time the patient is the infant child (one of twins) of a Mrs Smith, a widow, who is firing with the single girls. The fever is lot yet fully developed, but the indications ire such that there is no doubt as to the nature of the sickness. A private letter received, states that there is great indignation imong the immigrants at being; kept away from town so lone;, and that a disturbance is Tery probable. It seems hard to discover that the discontent is about.
