Tite Confederation tune which the ‘ Islander” unceasingly grinds, is about as anvaried and unin- teresting as the braying of adonkey. We must con- feas that we esoudt-uuderstand the logic of our con- temporary when he savs that ab Hoylish loan will prove an injury to the Colony, whilst # subsidy of $300,000 {roi Canada will prove # benefit. The principal grievauce which tae ‘* Islander ” discovers in the loan is: that local capitalists, who ‘have thelr money now invested in warrants and other Govern- meut securities beariog six per cent. interest, will be forced to employ it for the future either in ha- tardous enterprises or else to lock it up in their safes to their own loss aud that of the community. Well, we imagine, in our simplicity, that the Cana- dian subsidy would have pretty much the same ef- fect ; and as to the difference between the loan end the bribe, except in name, we cannot discover, Let us examine for amoment. The loan, if obtained, is to be payable in tweuty years, and will, as far as possible, be invested in lands which there is every particulars of the sad catastropee.

A VISIT TO SOMERSET, At no period of the year has the country so many at- tractions ag at the time of baymaking. At no otber time is the citizen, loathing dusty streets, overpowered with the sultry atmosphere of the town, and needful of some: healthy recreation, more tempted to participate in the enjoyment which a “drive through the rich and ad- vaneed settlements of the Island affords. The charm- ing aspect of the well-cultivated farms, on which the eye loves to dilate, the numerous scenic features of no ordinary character that abound on every side, and the balmy breeze, wafting the delightful odor of some mea- dow, and so bracing and refreshing during this warm srason,—all contributed to induce us to take the oppor- tunity favorably presented of visiting the delightful lo- cality of Somerset. Irrespective of these considerations, an invitation to assist at one of the solemn and impres- sive ceremonies of the Catholic Church, kindly extend- ed to us by the Rev. and very worthy pastor of the parish, afforded us an additional and whore cogent rea- son for adopting this step, As we drove along we found much to command our admiration. We rejoiced to find that the crops in the different settlements through which we passed are so promising. The fields, beam- ing with an abundant harvest, here a blooming plot of potatoes, there a beautiful slope of mpening oats, diver- sified by fields of wheat, barley, turnips, and all the other products of the soil—everything in thriving con- dition—give our httle Island such a lovely and charm- ing appearance as well entitles it to the appellation of “The Garden of North America.” Other countries may have their fofty mountains, their sublime cataracts, that strike terror into their bebolders, their mighty tor- rents rughing Gown with headlong impetuosity; but in chaste scenery and striking instances of the beautiful in After a pleasant drive, during which we perceived possannngaaag 7 VV eT nee ene tw” The Hon, George Beer, who has just complgte an extended tour through Canada and the Western States, has returned to thir Island with » higher appre- ciation ofitsagricultural capabilitiesthan he hasyet enter- tained, and in a letter to the Jslander, suggests, among other things, to the farmers of this Island, the growing of winter wheat.
