Tue faneral of the late Wr. John Jury was very largely attended yesterday. The Sens of Temperance walked in a body, and many citizens testilied their respect for the departed. At the Wesleyan Church the service was con- ducted by the Rev. Messrs. Rice, Cowper- thwaite and Smallwood, and at the grave the tuneral service of the Sons of Temperance was read by the Rev. Dr. FitzGerald, Senior Past Grand Worthy Patriarch of the Island.

A YEAR ago last summer, a wealthy banker ot Chicago, Mr. H. K. Symonds, visited ihe Island, accompanied by his beautiful and ac complished wile, who is a daughter of Mr. George MeKay, formerly of New London, but uow of Chicago, and a grand-daughter of Mr. Jubn Lockerby of this city. Together they speat some weeks in town and country, and a

are

jolier fellow than Mr, Symonds we never met. Recently a cheque for the very handsome sum of $100, was re- ceived from Mrs. Symonds, through her

cousin, Miss Annie McKay, daughter of Wil- liam MeKay, Esq., Postmaster at Clifton, in wid of the funds of the Presbyterian Church at that place. It does us good to record such deeds of benevolence—it shows that Mrs. Symonds cherishes fond recollections of the home of her childhood, and we trust that ther Islanders abroad will follow her noble example as their means may allow.—Herald.

A Brave Fireman.—As a passenger train on the Reading and Columbia Rail. road was running at the rate of thirty miles an hour, near Ephrata, Pa., on the 12th inst., the engineer noticed a child on the track, some distance ahead. He called the attentein of fireman T. J. D, Conlan to the fact, when the latter made his way to the pilot and grasped the child just as the engine was about to pass over it. The child was taken to Columbia to await iden- tification.

Rocer Ticnznorne, the English claim- ant, has written toafriend in New York asking him to ask P. T. Barnum to guar- antee him for a six months’ tour through America with Barnum’s circus. He ex- plains that he and his children are depend. ent upon his own exertions for support while he is trying to get the Act of Parlia- ment repealed and a royal commission granted to inquire into the whole case. Mr. Barnum answered this, saying that Sir Roger would not prove attractive in this country.

_- - ° Hatirax Sritt Aneav.—The Chronicle

‘has the following, under the caption, ‘*The

Ruling Passion Strong in Church’’: Last evening a gentleman of bibulous habits

was induced by his dear wife to accompany ber to church for a change, and she gave him a ten-cent piece to put in the collection box. He happened to have a solitary cent in his pocket and felt a gnawing at his vitals, which only a glass of his accustomed tonic could soothe, so he financed the cent into the contribution box, and with states- manlike ability pocketed the ‘tenner.’ The possession soothed him to a self-satisfied state of mind in which he listened atten- tively to the able discourse, in which was much temperance exhortation, but ere the praises of it had died from his lips he was eagerly hunting for an open bar, With difticulty he succeeded in obtaining access,

but only with disgust to find that the coin was a counterfeit’ A ‘friend in need’ was, however, at hand. aus A covrLte of years ago the Halifax

| Chronicle published a sensational story to

the effect that a Halifax schooner, pur- chased by General B. F. Butler and Capt Tarr, of Gloucester, had sailed on a piratical expedition to the coasts of Mada- gascar. The paragraph was the subject of a good deal of amusement at the time. A despatch published in Tuesday’s Halifax Herald explained the mission and destina- tion of the schooner, which was a wrecking expedition to the Antarctic Ocean, and gave the names of the lost crew, most of whom were Haligonians. This differed very materi- ally from the Chronicle's story of the missing sailors. John Spicer, aged 46, an old man- Jeaves a wife and family. Donald Fraser was 29 years old; his wife is now in the States. John Carrigan, aged 3?, a native of Elmsdale, leaves a wife and family here. The brothers Hilchey were natives of P. E Island. John Baker, 21, Edward Little, 50, cand P. Byrne, were all Haligonians. It is possible that the Con- quest may yet turn up. She was well sup- plied with provisions, and it is not unusual for a vessel to be absent more than two years on such a long voyage. ia aiceliieaninh

Mr. Moses Oares, one of Canada’s weather prophets, of whom she has a large crop, predicts as follows:—‘‘ As to the coming winter, | have not seen any reason to alter my opinion expressed two months since. The tracks of both high and lew barometric areas this fall have been such as to indicate very strongly an unusually mild winter. I expect the winter generally to be mild till nearly the close of the win- ter. There will be periods remarkably warm—warm enough in fact in southern Ontario, Michigan and New York to permit of winter ploughing. The general charac- ter of the season, however, will not prevent short cold waves of great severity, quite as sharp, in fact, as we have in severe seasons. I think a return of weather, cold for the season, likely in March ov a little earlier, but I do not look for sleighing in the southern counties that will at any time
