In both these Provinces. and in Prince EKd- ward Island, the potato crop, an important produce, gives a generous yield. It will thus be -een that there is cause for thank fulness on the part of our people, at the re- sult of tie harvest in Canada, which as- sures a continuance of the prosperity upon which the country has entered under the

Acapznty or Mustc.—Last night, the Two Orphans was reproduced to better effect than
revious!y, as the Pierre and Marquis were both more manly and stronger types of cha- racter then those of the previous evening. Miss Violet Campbell obtained a call in frovt of the curtain, and the whole piece was ad- mitably sustained. To-night we think management acts wisely in reducing the scale of prices, so as to come within range of all, as there is no doubt that at the present time there are many who would avail themselves of the opportunity of obtaining an agreeabl«: and intellectual! evening’s entertain ment, but whose finances cannot allow it. This is a last production of the Two Orphans. The rate To-morrow evening, a change of bill.

Mrs. McRag, of Gallas Point, and Mr. Robert Mutch of the same place, were serious ly injured at Southport, on Tuesday last. They were driving from the Ferry when the horse took fright and ran away.

The occupauts were thrown out, Mrs. Me ‘ae’s leg was broken in two places, andshe wasotherwise seriously inju- red Mr. Mutch was badly shakea. Mrs. MeRae was carried to the residence of Mr. W.

Tae Ciose oF THE CAMPAIGN.—A meeting was heli last night (Wednesday) in the Pres byterian Church at Brovkfi€id. The chair was filled by Capt. A. R. Spence. Prac- tical aud stirring campaign speeches were made respectively by Messrs. Cooper, Chap-

On a fine day one of the safest and_plea- gantest of excursions can be made to Pictou aud back in the Steam Navigation Compan ies steamers. The steaniers are sufficiently staunch, swift, and well appointed; the sea air is deliciously pure; and better fare than that provided by Messrs. Chandler and Collins could net be desired by the most fastidious..
PICTOU AND ITS COAL.
A marked improvement in the commerce of Pictou is apparent from the shipping with which its fine harbor is now studded. A vear or two ago, the harbor was almost deserted,and hardly a sound interrapted the ripple of the water. Now, steamers, barques, brigs, brigantines, barges—ship ping of all kinds enliven the scene, making the coal trains to hum again, the Pictonians eye to brighten with hope renewed, and the coal owners heart to.leap fer joy. It is said that the demand for Pictou coal in Montreal and other cifies cannot be supplied by the coal companies, and that the larger than it has been in

TRURO AND ITS INDUSTRIES. Truro has a clean and thrifty appear- ance; and ..1¢ rich agricultural country
surrounding it gives it a fringe of green
about as pleasant to the eye as that which
decks an Island town. The smoke of many
factories shows that its people are alive to
the advantages of their position as a centre
of railway traffic in Nova Scotia. INTERVALES.
The muddy waters and the slimy banks of the Stewiacke and Shubenacadie rivers ire not very pleasant to look upon ; but they are the fruitful source of wealth to the farmer. ‘These waters occasionally overflow their banks, and spread over the flat marshes on either side. On their sub- sidence they leave a coat of the finest manure behind them. The marshes have been intersectedjby drains and bronght un- der cultivation. Without any trouble they yield splendid crops of hay and afford rich pasturage. “It strikes us that farmers on the Island, who have marshes, might profit- ably leara of the Nova Scotians a lesson in draining and dyking. The towns of Stew- iacke and Shubenacadie seem to have touch- ed the bottom of the hard times, and to be thriving again.
THE RAILWAY. ®
A good deal of attention has recently been given to the railway between Pictou and Halifax. Many rotten sleepers have been removed and the roadbed is being bal- lasted with evident care. The passenger cars are all furnisned with ‘‘Miller’s coupler buffer, and platform;’ and consequently they run with the greatest smoothness and safety. Why cannot this improvement be introduced into Prince Edward Island? The aumber of freight trains which, in addition to the passenger trains, daily pass over the road, seems to indicate that this section of the Intercolonial, at least, has a paying traffic.
HALIFAX AND SOME OF ITS TROUBLES.
With aneye to the future greatness of the city, the Government has erected at the railway terminus in Halifax, ona of the finest railway stations, on the Continent. But somehow Halilax does not give to*the stranger much evidence of a real desire to go-ahead and become the great emporium of industry and trace everybody says it should become. Though it has still, notwithstand- ing the heavy losses its merchants and capi- talist€ have recently sustained, more accu- mulated wealth, than perhaps any other city of its size in America, Halifax has its »wn troubles. The chief of these seems to be that its leading people have not hitherto had sutticient confidence in it Sustained very comfortably by the profits of keeping the garrison, and its hangers on, and by the trade in fish, rum, sugar and inolasses, which naturally belongs to them they have not yet learned to rely upon their exertions in the field of manufacturing in- dustry and enterprise. Many make money for idle and extravagant families to sjuander aimlessly and carelessly, while others instead of building up and sustain- ing bnew enterprises calculated to benefit the city, take their millions away and in- vest them in England, in the United States, and in other parts of the Dominion, lest they should be lost. Another trouble is, that the land is all, or nearly all, owned by independent men who seem to have elubbed together to keep tents up and to drive vulgar, young moneyless enterprise far from thei. It is to be regretted that the fine social qualities of the Haligonians are not equalled by public spirit, individual | self-reliance, 4nd contidence in their eity and its futare.
