With the exception of the apples, the wholo of these articles came from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick; of the limestone hy far the largest proportion wes used for agricultural purposes. The boards and laths indicate the extent of our house building during the season. Verhaps, however, no fuct connected with our import trade is more gratifying and encouraging than the marked falling off in the item of fiour, which has annually, since the failure of our wheat crop, been making such a heavy drain upon the resources of the Colony. Next year we hope the decrease will be still more mark- ed. Among our imports are also 6,678 bbls. of herrings, and 1,058 quintals codfish, Of the 8,600 barrels of muckerel entered by the Gulf fleet, about 8,040 barrels, as near as we could ascertain, were caughtin Island ves- sels.

Christmas inthe Arctic regions must be a very cold Christinas indeed, yet the voyagers in those dreary regions do not neglect to distinguish the season of Christmas by appropriate religious ser- vices and customary festivities. ‘The pauper in the workhouse has a feast pro- vided for him at this season, and the felon in his cell then mercifully receives Noruine is of more importance té the | travelling public who are accustomed to travel to and from the country places to Summerside, on theice, than that it should be well and earetully bushed.
