It ap- pears the Weatherbee, which was loaded with conl, was on the point of crossing the river, and Captain Clark, with two hands, stepped ashore with arope to keep the stern of the boat near the dock. leaving no one on board except Mrs, Clark, and her young. child about eighteen months old. As the boat approached the break in the dam, where the current was very strong, the stern swung out into the stveam,,and got beyond the control of the Captain and his men, as. their ropes were too short for the snubbing posts. ‘The Captain’s wife made every possible effort to give out ntore line, but.owing to ex- citement, failed of suceess.- ‘They then tried to hold the boat with the tow line, but where compelled to cut itto keep from drawing the horse into the water, As the boat came into the break Mrs, Clark took her ebild in her arms and eried Save me! save me! save me!” At this time some fifty or more men were on the shore near the boat, some telling hex to stick to the boat, and others to sit down, ‘The lock-tender, Martin Freeman, in a truly brave spirit, started for her in small row. hoat.

These are given as some ‘of the reasons why it is probable that the United Kingdom is still afloat and making for @ harbor with all conyenient slowness, though speed by this time and with the passed record of the vessel is, as s matter of course, out ol the question. llaving once, in March, 1868, taken twenty- five days to cross from Glasgow to New York, it is believed by thé agents that even the ex- traordinarily long time of fifty-four days may be accounted for by the rensons given above ; and has the vesset had a fall supply of pro- visions, and as the cargo consisted in large part of provisions, the persons on board, it is said, could be subjected to no great sufferings even if the voyage of the ship be still longer protratced by misfortune, But there are some circumstances which lessen the hope so sanguinely expressed and, undoubtedly felt by Messrs.

On motion of Hon, Mr. Rose the the admission of Prince.

After the address which had just .been passed, it was evident that the Union would be very incomplete without Prince Ev'ward Island. It had a Jow tarrilf and there would be great temptation to,send in goods from that Island to the other Provinces. Its geographical position also was such that the Dominion would be very incomplete without it, Another very im- portant reason why it should be admitted had reference to the fisheries, ‘The House was aware of the extreme yalue of the! fisheries belonging to Prince Edward Is- tan}; and it was known that”, permanent arrangement co%y),, pe made as to the fish- eries unless Prince Edward Island wasiy party to it. Prinee Edward Island had very litle debt. ‘Tho principal part of it had been contracted in the purchase of -estates from persons who held them under grants from the Crown of Englandson terms which had very materially retarded the settlement of the Island. The Hon, Gentleman went on to expliin somewhat minutely the position of the lind question in Prince Edward Island. He then ex- plained that as the tariff was low, and the debt comparatively small, it had ‘been deemed necessary to offer Prince Edward Islind some equivalent to induce! her to enter the Union. The equivalent “con- tempeluted by those resolutions wis that the Dominion Government should” pur- chase the lands still held under the orginal grants, being nbout 800,000 acres or rather more then one half of the Island, ant sell them to actual settlers, to be held jg free and common soccage.

THE OROPS AND FARMS. now all parts-of the country the most fayorable reports reach us of the .pros- pect of good crops; although we are told that in some places the root Weevil has destroyed a good deal ‘of wheat. Many Farmers may not be aware of this des- troyers presence. We would advise them to examine the early sown wheat. It is an insect as large as a small grain of wheat, and is very destructiye, The late rains have made the crops look well, and! done a great deal of good. In passing through the country the cihcr day, we were please’ to e-e that our farmers, in "Ges, haye made very great im- rovements on their farms. ‘Lhe neat and well furnished cottages that here and there meet the eye of the traveller, as well as the large barns and other out- houses, give evidence of the wealth and prosperity of the Island.. In places whero but a few years ago large forests flourished, and stumps marred the look of the ficlds, may now be seer good crops of grain or grass, and fields smooth enough to ullow the mowing machine to work without hindrance. It is a rare thing now to meet with an old fashioned log house of the primitive order, ‘The im- portance of having trees planted around the houses, and a good orchard and vege- table garden also, is now known to many farmers. Around nearly every farm house may be seen the farmers’ wife or daughter busy in the garden, in which ard carefully cultivated plants and vege- tables of all sorts. I'rnit is not so gen- erally cultivated on this Island as it should bes but still, here and there is to be scen a goof orchard. A great many farmers are building stone edges around the front of their farms, and planting them. with ‘thorn or other trees. ‘Lhis will, after a ‘little time, be a great saving to. them, as ‘they will need no.other’ fencing, and it will also add greatly to the beauty of the farms. ‘ There was a time when many farmers thought it was impossible to raise a good hay crop on this Island, but they think -very differently now. The introduction of mussel mud on the land, has converted the short grass, which was a bother to the mower, into, well covered fields of clover and timothy. We believe that many farmers to-day that can cut three tons of hay to the acre, could not cut half a ton off the same land before’ it was mudded. ‘The cry now is, not because of the scarcity of hay, but the want of a market to sell it... We know of one far- mer who has thirty tons of last years’ hay on Nand, and yet he only lives about six miles from this Town ‘The increase of the oat and root crops are also great. ‘This spring thousands of bushels ot potatoes were fed to the cattle for want of a good market. All this shows that the farmers of this Island are increasing in wealth and_ prosperity. Farming is a science that requires head work as well as hand work, and our far- mers are beginning to find this out. It is now admitted by many strangers who visit the Island, that the farmers on P.E. Island are the best in British North Am- erica. We hope they may always bear this reputation. There are many branches of farming to which we would advise our farmers to give more attention. ‘The raising of good stock comes first. Horses have been in good demand for the last few years, and are likely to continue so; that is, a cer- tain class of horses, and the raising of heavy horses should now engage their at- tion. We heard, the other day, of a farmer who received fifty pounds for a mare five years old. Surely this is good encouragement. ‘The raising of good cows should also engage the attention of the farmer more than it does. It is as cheap to feed a good cow as it is to feed a bad one. Butter will always be likely to command a fair price, arid can be made a profitable business. Cheese making, too, should be more engaged in than it is, Why can not other farmers bring to mar- ket as good .cheese as Mr. Benirsto, of Princetown, and others that we know of, whose cheese ‘will compare favorably with any imported. The Egg trade has also become an im- portant branch of business, Nearly .all the merchants in this, and other towns, are engaged in it, and a good price is given. Why do not our Farmers endca- vor to get the best breed of poultry? We throw out these hints with the hope that they may urge some of our Farmers to ‘move in the matter, When agriculture on the Island be- comes more of a science—when our farm- er's sons and daughters are taught to love their homes and work—when the lease- hold lands are converted into freeholds— when we get Reciprocity—there will not be a more prosperous country on the face of the earth. o- Potrrican Rumors of all kinds have been in circulation since our last issue.

Boston, Juno 10th, 1869, The Jubileo is among the things that were, and can be recorded a triumphant success. It surpassed the most sanguire hopes of its projector, and P. §, Gilmore is among .the immortalized names in American history. ‘The question whether 10,000 persons, with innumerable accompaniments, could sing in perfect harmony of voice, has bven decided in the affirmative. . The city is full of strangérs. Tt is estima- ted that 200000. people tame.to the city dur- ing Jubilee week, Hotels, Railroad Compan- ies, Steamboats, &c., were doing a lively business, and each and every one of them did their utmost to secure their share of the mo- ney which was putin circulation, ‘The streets, which are generally well filled, were almost impassable. The Common, Public Gardens, | and other places of resort ore thronged, and the entrangy blockaded. ‘Lhe Concert was to commence at 3 o'clock, p. m,, and by 8, a,m., the city and the surrounding towns began to empty themselves of their surplus humanity into ‘Tremont and Boylston streets, and this Btream received contributions from all the tributaries which lead into these, until, by the time we come within a mile of the Coliseum, it concentrates into one grand mass of human beings, of all colors and sizes, which presses slowly onward, carrying everything before it, like the marcli of conquering invaders, Any one who found himself thrown by chance into’ the crowd, was reluctantly obliged to bow to’ seum, whether he wanted to’ or no. “If yoi' met an old friend, whom a desire to hear the Jubilee chanced to throw in your way, find attempted to stop to talk with him, you would in a moment seem to have conceived a sudden affection for a horse-car or a lamp-post, while your friend might be seen picking himself up in a damaged condition, 100 yards further on. The surging masses around the building de- fied the efforts of the police to keep a clear way to the ticket office, which was besieged from early morning, until not even room for **one more” was left. Quite a village of ** shebangs” was thrown up all around, as it woultl be out West if some lucky individual had struck ‘ ile” or discovered gold on the premises, or if every catch-penny concern in the country was imported for the occasion to abstract the loose change from the pockets of the verdant. As the twelve large entrances were thrown open, a stampede takes place, and in a few minutes 60,000 men and women pass through, and still the crowd outside is fot perceptibly diminished, but it is continu- ally receiving accessions from all points of the compass. AN INSIDE. VIEW. If your readers will imagine a wood- en buiding 500 by 800 feet, roof 100 feet high—covering 24 neres of land, and imagine more than one-half of all the men, women and children in P, E. I. to be crowded into it, then they will have a fair idea of the inside of the building. Standing in the centre, you can see nothing between you and the walls in the dis- tance but a sea of heads, and about the same amount of fluttering fans, without even a ya- cant aisle to break the solid erder, The roof is supported by 74 pillars in four ranges, ‘Those in the centre bear the colors of ditter- ent States. ‘I'ri-color. streamers depend from the ceiling in an artistic manner. At one end of the building is a large angel, holding forth the emblem of peace, and waving behind her the weapons of war. Over the central arch are the words of the Annunciation: ** Glory to God on High, Peace on Earth, Good will to- ward men.” A promenade extends around the interior, under the back seats, one quarter of a mile in length, Four miles of gas-pipe, 24,000 burners, and nearly 25,000 panes of glass have been used, OPENING OF THE CONCERT. Mr. Gillmore, taking the conductor's stand, was the signal for the most unbounded ap- plause, and at the conclusion of the first piece the audience could not refrain from boisterous demonstrations of joy. The gi- gantic undertaking’s success was then placed beyond a doubt. (I may here state that the organ used is quite an invention. It is built so as to give a volume of sound equal to four of the largest in Boston, including the big or- gan at Music Hall, and still is not larger than a common church organ. It is something entirely original in the history of organ build- ing.) ‘The drum used is eight feet in diamater, and weighs 150 pounds. ‘Lhis being the first time the whole torce of choiristers were brought tegether, it was not strange if experts noticed one or two slight defects at first, but very soon the whole volume of melody was, blended most harmoniously, and cheer after cheer grected the performers at the close of every triumph, from the audience who were nearly mad with delight, PRESIDENT GRANT VISITS TITE JUDILER On the second day, as also Admiral Farragut, George Peabody, Sir Edward ‘Thornton, and a host of other civil and military dignitarics, and dignified the thing by their présence. ‘They were all well received, especially the President, at whose devoted head were iumed some 40,000 opera glasses, more or less, THE THIRD DAY, The programme of the third day being, in my judgment, the best, [ attended it in com- pany with Robert R.
