Tue Nova Scotia Darvicunry.—Mr. Howe's mis-
sion to England ie thas referred to by the Londom cor.
yespondent of the New York Times :—~—

« Lhave left myself tittle space to-day to of
general matters, I may mention that the difficalty is be

nin wo pene © w littl. The mdefatigable Mr.
pes f over earwigging Members of Parliament,
when he can be A yd of them, and laying siege to news-
p offices when other resources fail him, Nova Scorra
will not jos the Confederation—she would go te the
United States. Now, if the whole Confederation
would transfer itself te the great Union, I think this
eountry would say ebeerfally : *Goad-bye, ant God
bless you.'—but to let detached fragments whirl mio
space, wonder the influenee of Colomal spite, does not
gee to Den Fational course. ‘Pho Spectator, B sce,
declares, that if nee ssary, England must uso force to
keep Nova Scotia t ber duty,— We are not going,”
says the writer, * to serrender the only werus ef the
Empire—the vy aa of the Inperial Purlioment in the

egt

Just resort to legislate for every human being who
clams the protection of our flag.’ The Spectator, a
every one knows, does not often press this form of ar-

goment.”

Br Last Niowt’s Main.—Amucricas fishing vessels ¥io~
Iating the License system of $2, can be seized for first of-
fence, and Imperial Government will, according to an Otte-
wa despatch of the 9th, assist the Canadian Government in
enforeing the arrangement. An attempt is being made to
impeach Justice Drummond of Montieal, before the Domin-
jon Commons. It is said that the Senate will refuse its

An Ottawa paper of late date says it is rumored that
Sanford Fleming has exprossed the opinion that it
will be impossible, or at least too costly, to build the
Intercolonial by the Central Route, inasmuch as the

rades in some places in the country already surveyed
io that divtrict are eighty feet to a mile. If this iv trae,
it thorongbly disposes of the question of ronte. There
js little donbt that the North Shore line will ultimately
he adopted, as itis the ene favoured by the British
Government,

A terrible scene occurred in St. Mary’s Chureh, Chi-
cago, on Good Friday. The church was crowded, and
while the Tencbre was being chaunted, a false ery of
fire was raised. A scream immedlately arose, and the
crowd rushed for the doors, arhich opened imeards. As
a consequence, the pressure of the terrified multitude
kept thom effectually closed, whilst In the dreadful con-
fusion three women were trampled to death, and four
fatally wounded.

New York has two new enterprises of considerable
importance on hand. ‘The first is an underground rail-
road from City Hall to Forty-second street. This has
been authorized by the legislature, though there was
considerable opposition from many quarters, The rail-
road is to be completed within three years, and an iron
tabular tunnel between New York and Brooklin is to be
begun within a year, and completed within five years.

Tue Post Office authorities deserve credit for having
the English mail forwarded to Charlottetown via Picton
and Georgetown several hours in advance of the time
in which it would have been received by steamer, The
mail was received on Satarday night, whereas the steam-
er was not due until Monday evening.

Tur case of Nova Scotia is receiving considerable at-
tention in the press of Englané’. By reference to our

would receive the earnest consileration of the Imperial
Govermnent.

ADDRESS
’o Mr. Dougald Melsaac, Farmer, Wood Island, on
the eve of his leaving the neighborhood.

Dear Sir;—

We, the undersigned, learn that it is your intention to
remove from this neighborhood in a few days: there-
fore, we hereby beg to express our esteem for you as a
consistent and obliging neighbour.

We regret that the impaired state of your health, for
the past year, has rendered tt imperative on you to sell
your farm—one on which your late futher has labored
foe nearly three-quarters of a century-—and change your
attention to that of trading. We therefore hope that,
whatever your future calling may be, health and happi-
ness may be your portion,

With kind regards for yourself, Mrs. MeIsaac and fa-
mily, and best wishes for your future welfare,
We remain,
Yours, &e..

To Messrs. John MeMillan, J. P., Donald McMillan,

Crawford, (Teacher), and Capt. HW. C. McMillan,
and others.

Respecres Frienps,—
I sincerely thank you for the very flattering address
which I have received from yon. 1 feel that T have not
done anything to merit such a tribute of respect from
you. Ican truly say that, if T have done anything to
merit such from you, [have only done what I consid>r-
ed my duty, and which was duly reciprocated by you
heretofore.

It is true that the state of my health has cansed me to

sell my farm, with the view of leaving Wood Island, and

T assure you that, wherevel my future lot may be, I

shall never forget the friendship and sociability [ have,

at all times, enjoyed with you, the people of Wood Is-
land.

Thanking you for your kind wishes for M-s. McIsaac

and family, and for our future welfare,

I remain,
Yours traly,
DOUGALD McISAAC.

Proeress or Anaska.—Onr new Territory of Alaska
seems to have canght the spirit of Ameriean progress
immediately after we have taken possession, A few
montha ago and while it belonged to Russia it was re-
garded as almost a terra incognita, & country some-
where bordering the North Pole. That portion of our
press which has opposed the purchase has, even up to
this time, represented Alaska as a hrperborean region
of no value. But we hear every day or two of some
progress or new developments there. By the latest
news we learn that extensive seal fisheries are to be put on-
der way, and that an opposition line of steamships for
passengers and treight hetween that country, California
and Vaneouver’s Island is to be etarted, An opposition
line of steamsbips to Alaska! Only think of that!
What enterprise and progress among our people on the
Pacifico! It will not be long before American settle-
ments will reach Asia, and the people of these quarters
of the globe will meet and shake hands with each other.
