to the Cape and the construction of a harbor. | We are more particularly interested in the atter which is going to be a very great ad- vantage to this section of the country for some ten m'les round and for all the western halt of | the Island. For late and early shipping it _will be the most convenient port in the Island to New Prauswick, and remains open so much later than Summerside, Crapaud, cr Char- lottetown, and is open earlier in the spring than any ‘other port in the Island, Souris | perhaps excepted, The greater part of our | trade is with New Brunswick and the United States. Cape Traverse, being about the center of the Island. and Cape Tormentine the most ' central, going east and west in the Mainland, gives this route the traffic of the whole Island, as it would have very considerable advantages over the Georgetown or a Souris route. There has been a good deal of envy entertained and | displayed against the route, but it has been ifound best to let the traffic find its natural outlet, Mr. McDoxald, M, P., the champion iof the Georgetown route, gave it last year his dying kick. Had this route been opened lup last spring for traffic, the Island generally would have been better off by some thousands of dollars. The Straits were comparatively 'elear of ice from the }0th March Now it is well known that prices were very much better | in the early spring than later on, when the ordinary routes became available. As every other man in the Island lives by the farmer, it is oply fair that he should have every facil- ity given him for the “transportation of his |produce. The Government ought not to let \this winter pass over without _poinns on a steamer at the Capes, hey have | Spared no expense in the way of a steamer on the Georgetown route which has proved of little or no benefit t« the farmers. The mer- 9 chant has had all the advantage that may | have been derived from that route and that at | the expense of the farmers. In the arguments ‘used to uphold it the farmers interests are | ignored, Too much has been said, Mr. ' Editor, in favor of this Georgetown, Pictou and ‘Northern Light” route ; you would al- most wonder how we existed hitherto. It is doubtful if it has ever benefited a farmer on the Island to the extent of one dollar, As to the manufacturing interest, Reid Bros. last fall sent some bales of cloth by said route several weeks before the ‘“‘Northern Light ” , stopped running, but they had to be brought As to the export

The weather has been everything that conld be desired for harvesting. Money is plenty, and prices good for everything the farmer has to dispose of, and taking into consideration the calamities that are befalling nearly every art of the world, we should feel ourselves a ighly favored Island, and in addition we are | blessed with having a Government led by that | veteran statesman, Sir John, who knows well ‘how to enhance by wise measures’the bless- _ings bestowed upon us by a beneticent Provid- ‘ence. Let us hope and trust that the blight- ‘ing hand of a Grit Government may never again be felt in our tight little Island. An evidence of the prosperity with which this | portion of the Island is favored I may mention that Mr, John McWillis ms is erecting a large building at the wharf for the purpose of a hotel. Mr. John Walker’s sons are building ;@ very handsome home residence, and quite a number of other large and fine buildings have lately been built and yet itis said by some ithat the N. P, has not benefited the farmer. FaRMER, Cape Traverse, Sept. 3, 1883.

Items from Souris.

The weather whispers ‘‘Fall is coming.” |\Sunshine, warm and welcome, still smiles now and then. but the smile is companion to the truth, ‘Fall is coming,” and we feel it. AsIwrite,a heavy gale is blowing, dust is flying, old ocean is dressed in white- caps, and windows without patent fasten- ers, rattle like miniature musketry. The first hot day which comes along will make us fancy the whole arrangement—scattered.

We have still quite a number of visitors on various purposes bent. Our hotels are sometimes very full indeed, but, as a | general thing, there is sufficient good ac- | commodation. We have a sufficient num- | ber of hotels to make things go along pretty comfortably.

| Sea bathing is recognized as one of the best helps in creation to good health. It is —according to necessity—a preventative land a curative. Old ocean gives Souris al] the enjoyment it wants in that direction. | As to various other wants our merchants can supply all the necessaries, unless Oscar Wilde sunflowers should happen to be asked for. We prefer the ‘‘flour” to the *‘sunflowers.”

Two of our small fishing boats—Captain Lord’s—hooked 4,500 mackerel on Monday and Tuesday this week. On the whole the catch is favorable all round.

| Mr. Wm. MeNeill departed this morning on his holidays. During his absence Mr. | DeMill takes his place in the Bank.

We have more Temperance meetings this week. Depend upon it, the ball will be | kept agoiug now. Our Lodge recently formed has decided upon the name, ‘*‘Hick- man’s Lodge, No. 5,” in honor of, and asa | compliment to the founder. We hope none)

Our various mowing machines and sew- ing machine, and most other machine agents report business good. Machinery is very good; I suppose we could hardly do without it. Some farmers sey that there is too much of it. Well, that is a de- batable question for farmers to setile. The best farm we know of has the owner for principal machine, and farms worked in ‘the sweat of the brow” generally turn out best. I have heard several farmers com- mept upon your article in Monday’ 8 issue, on ‘Sheep Husbandry, etc.,” and a few of them called to ask your correspondent for a look at it. One old gentleman said, “‘it is gospel truth, and every man with worn out land should remember it.”

Souris is in mourning. As already re- ported there has been a sad drowning accident here. A fine young man, Sylves- ter Whalen, and a promising youth, Neal McCormack, have both met with a watery grave. Our fishermen were caught in the gale of Monday, and the result has been heart rending sorrow to at least two families. There are conflicting reports as to how the accident happened. Some say that the boat went over on her side and spilled the occupants ont, others that she went down head first, and still others that she filled at the stern and sank with her occupants. The latter is most likely correct. Several other boats were close to at the time, but owing wo the severity of the gale, and consequent fears for their own safety, the occupants were unable to render any assistance. As it was, several of the fishermen made for the spot where the accident happened, and a schooner inside the breakwater made sail and ventured out with ail haste in case a rescue should be required. It was ail too late, the boat and its two occupants went down and were seen no more. Sorrow for the sad bereavement of our neighbors is ex- pressed on all sides, and while expreesing that sorrow with trembling voice and tear- ful eye, many of the brave men who were out that day are not forgetful of the Provi- dence which brought them at least in safety from the scene of death. All day yester- day was devoted to dragging for the bodies, unsuccessfully we are sorry to say—the boat was found and brought in,

The sad accident which happened to the

ed. At the inquest, held by Doctor Mut- tart, the scene was a sad and impressive one. The bodies of the five men recovered from the vessel were laid side by side on the breakwater at Campbell’s Cove. They were all young, the oldest only reaching the prime of life, Oue of them was married, three said to be members of the Methodist Church, and two Presbyterians. A large concourse of people gathered at the time of the inquest (last Sunday) with s)rrow and sympathy in every word and action. Father Gillis gave an impr.ssive addr ss in the Church to the saddened throng before him, pointing to the solemn lessons to be learned from this terrible visitation. Men washed the bodies and prepared thim for the grave by placing them in coffins, and cover- ing them with shrouds made at the hovse of Capt. McIntyre, where women with gentle hands, and hearts filled with christian charity, had gathered t gether to make them. Mothers thonght of the mothers of the departed; wives of the bereaved widows at their homes, and sons and daughters of the fatherless children ; ; and there was love displayed in every action, a love which bronght this world something nearer to Paradise. Strong men, with hearts deeply touched, hindered not their vears—they were all the more God-like—

‘Jesus wept” !

The bodies had been placed under an awning specially prepared for them, and wagons were waiting to convey them to West River Church yard, where they rest, ina temporary grave, awaiting the arrival of relatives. Qne relation arrived yester- day. The vessel now lies inside of Souris break water.

LaNcasTER. Souris, Sept. 5, 1883,

It is stated that it is intended to fit all sea-going lines of battle ships, whether masted or mastless, with nets composed of wire rope for torpedo defence. These nets are intended to protect only the centrab compartments of the vessel, including the magazines, it being understood that those for the protection of the bows and stern may be extemporized when necessary.
