Dear S1r,— Would it not eonduce to the enjoyment of citizens generally, but more especially those who cannot avail them- selves of a trip to the country, to a demon- stration of some kind at Victoria Park on Dominion Day. We know that all who can hire a team, or take advantage of cheap excursion trips by steamers and railways, will hie away into the country or take a trip across our beautiful Straits to the Mainland ; yet thousands for many reasons must stay at home. Surely then it is the duty, as it should be the pride and pleasure of gentlemen having authority in Military and Civic matters, to make a move in the

DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT OF THE MEN IN CHARGE,
Sirn,—Qn Wednesday evening last the steam ferry boat ‘‘Montague” was engaged by a young gentleman of Georgetown, for a moonlight excursion in the harbor, etc. About seventy citizens of the town received invitations. The boat started at 8.30 p, m., and proceeded out the harbor, past Panmure Island, when those on board found that the pleasure of the trip was in danger of being changed into one of ex- treme discomfort, as a strong south-east | Wind was causing a heavy sea torise. The ladies on board became sick, and implored | those in charge of the boat to put abou Land return to the harbor. The captain, ‘imstead of so doing, locked the forward | rudder across the boat, thereby making it impossible to steer; and the consequence was that the boat went round and round— ' first head to sea, plunging bow under, and the sea making a clean sweep of the decks; then she would fall off into the trough of the sea, and roll fearfully. The ladies im- |plored that they be taken into harbor; but of no avail. Qne of the shareholders was steering, and distinctly declined to accede to the wishes of the ladies, and thoroughly enjoyed their discomfort and peril. To make matters worse, many of the men, who ‘consider themselves gentlemen, got very quarrelsome, through the jnfluence of ‘liquor; and, at one time, there was great fear of a general fight. At last one of the young ladies went to the shareholder—a eaptain—and implored him, ‘‘for God’s sake,” to put the steamer into harbor and let them get safe on shore. His answer was: *‘Look a’ ’ere, little girl; you are all right.” Only when it pleased those in _charge did the endangered pleasure seekers ‘find that the steamer was headed for the | wharf, and all.anded safely at midnight, after suffering for hours the suspense of
not knowing what their fate might be. It is reported that the whole aflair was ar- ‘ranged before leaving the wharf, because 'a certain young lady happened to be one ' of the party. Too much praise cannot be ' yiven to the engineer, Mr. McDonald, for the manner in which he filled his respon- sible position; for had he, like the owners of the boat, allowed himself to indulge in strong drink, until he became unaccount- able for his actions, Georgetown would, probably, to-day, be a town full of mourn- ful and heavy hearts, on account of the lost ones, whose lives would have been thrown away to please the caprices of two or three drunken gentlemen /

The Amherst Breach of Promise Case.
A $10,000 breach of promise case was disposed of in the Supreme Court at Amherst on Tuesday. It was betwain Sophia Nelson and W. A. Beattie. The Pleas were withdrawn and damages assessed before jury. Gourley, of Truro, and C. J. Townshend appeared for the iptitf, and Smith for defendant. The o witnesses were the plaintiff and her father. Miss Nelson, who belongs to Wallace, is 19 years of age, quite pleasing in appearance, and bore a modest demeanor in court whieh all must have admired. According to her tes- timony, the truant lover, who is a master mariner, while at Wallace with his vessel, the schr. ‘‘Humber,” in the fall of 1881, met and was introducec tu her in a shop. After having met with her on two subse- quent occasions they drove together to
atamagouche, and so rapidly had the flame of love been kindled in his breast that during the journey, he proposed they should be linked together for the journey through life. Like a sensible girl she took time to consider and to consult her parents, and afterwards consented, on condition that the marriage take place on his return to port the next spring, to which he agreed. The caytain bade his fiancee a tender fare- well and set sail for New York. The cor- respondence from this point was qpite interesting, and all went well until the 28th of June, when he wrote her a letter stating that he intended to be married, shortly, to another. ‘Two or three weeks later he sailed into Wallace with his bride —a Cape Breton lady, The jury, hearing evidence to the above effect, retired, and ina half hour returned a verdict of $1,000 for the plaintiff.

Danger from Electric Wires.
The freaks of a fractious current of electricity are astonishing, whether the subtle flaid darts from the cloud or jumps from an illuminating company’s wire. Two or three explosions occurred in New York the other day, and they appear to be the first in the history of electric lighting in which electricity seemed te be a factor. One of the wires of the electric light hadi be- come grounded. This had chafed against the ges pipe until the insulating material had worn off and a spark was generated. This spark had heated the service pipe until the insulating compound had expend- ed so that the service pipe burst and caused the first explosion. The first explosion was inside the building, the second was outside, and several feet from the locality of the tirst. The theory is that there was a leak in the gas main, which is described as being rusty and very thin, ‘‘so that one could pick a hole through it with a knife-blade.”’ The gas escaping fromasmall leak had been lighted by the electric fluid, and was burning when the men went to repair the damage, and was overlooked. e heat from this burning jet had heated the pipe until the hole had become enlarged, so that the volume of gas coming through the main was ignited. Then the explosion naturally fo:lowed and caused all-the material damage that wasdcne. This explosion burst the electric hght service pipe, tore the insulat- ing material from the wires, and permitted the current to strike and actually burn an iron pillar of the building with which it came in contact, A singular thing in con- nection with the explosion was the melting and bursting of a lead water-pipe in the third story of the building. The people in the building think the electricity was in some way responsible for this. There are no electric light wires on that floor, how- ever, and an expert says it would have been impossible for the electric fluid com- ing from the wires to have done this. It is barely possible it was done by lightning, where the trees havé been cut away,|which wight have got into the building the whole place is ablaze with the |during the shower of that evening in some showy purple Mowers of the Rhodora. way by means of the pipes.

Milton Station.
The Railway Siation at Milton is one of the bye-ways of the great world of com- merce. There is a little brown waiting- shed witha bench in it, a white-washed warehouse, and a siding. But, except when the train comes thundering along and drops or picks up a solitary traveller or two, the place preserves the same quiet solitude as the fields and bird-tenanted groves around it.
Like many other of the railway stations, it is situated on a piece of waste ground in the rear of the settlement, and the traveller passing through sees nothing of the advancement and comfort which charac- terize the enterprising settlement of Milton proper. Its very neglectedness, however, makes it of interest to the Naturalist. Na- ture unrestrained fills the place with her own wild, sweet beauties of scented blossoms and crowded foliage, of thrilling bird-sungs and purling, laughing waters.
There is a swamp here running down the valley of the North River. It is marked by the ievel sea of light green foliage which the feathery larches spread amid the darker groves of the drier lands. We take to its dank shades for the sake of exploring its vegetable products; for in these retreats of water-soaked soils and mnd sloughs, of shadowy pools and reptiles, of mosquitoes and biack flies, vegetation runs riot and often with striking beauty. ;
Along the border of the railway,
