THE LATE DR, HAMMOND JOHNSON,
To rue Expeor or tun Journxan,
Sin:—The sorrowing family of the de-
ceased Dr. Hammond Johnson, deeply and
gratefully appreciate the generous sympathy
which has been, and still 1s, so largely and
feclingly shewn towards them in their paintul
bereavement; and the warm-hearted tesumony
of the Island Iress, to the ability and philan-
thropy cf his professional and social lite, and
fur ihe respect and esteem entertained for him
by all classes of the community. hese ex-
hibitions of public kindness serve greatly to
soften the pungency of their affliction, and
will be remembered, by them, in association
with every recurrence of his cherished mem-
ory.
Yours, respectfully,

when an opportunity should be given to
the youth of our town tor the improve-

present, and that as she has escaped it
so long, she will probably escape it for!
yet another long series of ages.” |
On the other hand, the extinetion of|
all subterranean forces would be as great}
jacualamity to us, as their too powerful)
| prevalence. Tor then by the encroach- |
ing action cf the sea, and the disintegra-
ting action of the rain and rivers, the
dry land in which we live, would in the
course of time bezome washed away, |
and the surface of the planct be entirely |
covered in the waters. ‘This Island will, |
to any one pussessed of a lengthened |
acquaintance with its shores, illustrate |
the idva. It is well known, that the old!
landmarks familiar to our fathers are gra-
dually and surely disappearing in the sea.
We were especially struck the other day,
while exploring at low water mark the
bold headlands of West Cape, with the
undermining action of the waves in cut-
ting out caves and hollows in the sand-
stone. Entering into one of these, our
voice filled one of nature's parlors, where
in a few years more nothing will remain
but the voice of the destroying waves.
Now what is going on here, is also going
on throughout the world, and to guard
against the realization of such a fearful
dream as the return of the earth to a
shoreless sea, we have the uplifting, re-
storing action of volcanic or subterran-
ean power.
It would appear, however,that in tliese
latter days we need not fear the cessation
of these fierce and terrible maintainers
of the earth’s equilibrium,we mean earth-
quakes. As if in fulfilment ef Scrip-
ture, that there shall be earthquakes in
divers places, we have in one year's pe-
riod, seen the manifestations of an un-
usual activity. Almost this time last
year, the Island of St. Thomas suffered
severely from the convulsion succeeding
the great hurricanes. ‘Then came tidings
of earthquakes in Malta, in Hgypt, in
losmosa, in St. Salvador, and even in
| Somersetshire, England. ‘Then hundreds
of the inhabitants of the Sandwich
Islands were destroyed by a fearfui up-
rush of molten matter from under the
| Pacific. Gibraltar was then shaken,
jthen New South Wales, and finally the)
| South American Country described in the
Vesuvius, the tre-
}mendous yoleano, has been nearly all the

ment of their minds, by means of public
Lectures. There is perhaps, no means
that could be devised, better adapted to
do this, than those usually adopted by a
Mechanic's Institute; where interesting
and iastructive subjects, in various depart-
ments of Sience, are brought betore the
mind by means of practical illustration
and usually in so attractive a manner, that
lent enquirer alter knowledge has
st kindled in his breast, that irre-
sistibly compels him to spend his leisure
hours in reading, that gratifies, in a most
pleasing mamier= this thirst for enlarged
information, and as a pleasing and bene-
ficial result, many a, gifted mind is al-
lured from off the guidy paths that too
often lead to degradation and ruin.
We regard a properly conducted Me-
chanic’s Institute as an excellent antidote
to iddeness, and intemperance, and hope
the time is not far distant, when one will
be established in Summerside; besides
which, in connection with the Post Ollice,
should also be established a Branch of
the Prince Edward Island Saving’s Bank,
into which the young people of Prince
County should be encouraged to deposit
their spare shillings, and thereby early
cultivate those habits ol thrilt and econo-
my which are so much required to be im-
pressed upon the attention of the young;
especially so, in those localities where Rum
Shops and drinking Saloons present at-
tractions, which too /lrequently allure the
thoughtless into habits which ultimately,
in too many instatices, end in placing them
amongst the paupers of the country.
We learn from the-Union Advocate that
the ‘Miramichi Ladies Auxiliary Bible
Society,” lately held its Porty-seventh An-
nual Meeting. This we believe, is one of
the oldest Sucieties ever formed in New
Brunswick, at least in the County of Nor-
thumberland, and up doubt since its origin
several organizations, that were formed on
the Banks of the Miramichi have melted
away like the ice which annually bridges
that bonnie River; and many honoured
men and women, haye also ceased to be
known, where they were once esteemed
and honoured ; but while this is so, we re-
joice to know, that this Auxiliary is as
fresh and vigorous as in days gone by,
and that it yet retains upon the Roll of its
membership, the names of those who ave
lovers of that which is good.

On the other hand, the extinetion of|
all subterranean forces would be as great}
jacualamity to us, as their too powerful)
| prevalence. Tor then by the encroach- |
ing action cf the sea, and the disintegra-
ting action of the rain and rivers, the
dry land in which we live, would in the
course of time bezome washed away, |
and the surface of the planct be entirely |
covered in the waters. ‘This Island will, |
to any one pussessed of a lengthened |
acquaintance with its shores, illustrate |
the idva. It is well known, that the old!
landmarks familiar to our fathers are gra-
dually and surely disappearing in the sea.
We were especially struck the other day,
while exploring at low water mark the
bold headlands of West Cape, with the
undermining action of the waves in cut-
ting out caves and hollows in the sand-
stone. Entering into one of these, our
voice filled one of nature's parlors, where
in a few years more nothing will remain
but the voice of the destroying waves.
Now what is going on here, is also going
on throughout the world, and to guard
against the realization of such a fearful
dream as the return of the earth to a
shoreless sea, we have the uplifting, re-
storing action of volcanic or subterran-
ean power.
It would appear, however,that in tliese
latter days we need not fear the cessation
of these fierce and terrible maintainers
of the earth’s equilibrium,we mean earth-
quakes. As if in fulfilment ef Scrip-
ture, that there shall be earthquakes in
divers places, we have in one year's pe-
riod, seen the manifestations of an un-
usual activity. Almost this time last
year, the Island of St. Thomas suffered
severely from the convulsion succeeding
the great hurricanes. ‘Then came tidings
of earthquakes in Malta, in Hgypt, in
losmosa, in St. Salvador, and even in
| Somersetshire, England. ‘Then hundreds
of the inhabitants of the Sandwich
Islands were destroyed by a fearfui up-

Lectures. There is perhaps, no means
that could be devised, better adapted to
do this, than those usually adopted by a
Mechanic's Institute; where interesting

ments of Sience, are brought betore the
mind by means of practical illustration
and usually in so attractive a manner, that

hours in reading, that gratifies, in a most

ficial result, many a, gifted mind is al-
lured from off the guidy paths that too
often lead to degradation and ruin.
We regard a properly conducted Me-

the time is not far distant, when one will
be established in Summerside; besides
which, in connection with the Post Ollice,
should also be established a Branch of
the Prince Edward Island Saving’s Bank,
into which the young people of Prince
County should be encouraged to deposit
their spare shillings, and thereby early
cultivate those habits ol thrilt and econo-

pressed upon the attention of the young;
especially so, in those localities where Rum

in too many instatices, end in placing them
amongst the paupers of the country.
