Tuk prospects for an excellent crop at the westeru end of the Island have never been better than they are this year. Large crops are reported from every section, and if the markets are favorable in the fall our western farmers will have every reason to rejoice.

CanpipaTes who succeeded in passing the recent examination for entrance into the Normal School, are at liberty to attend either the term from August to December, 1833, or the termfrom January to May, 1884. We mention this fact, as there have been several enquiries made on the subject.

THE vacant seat in the New Brunswick Legislature caused by the death of Mr. Elder, is being contested for by no less than five candidates. Doubtless the seat will be too sma'l to hold the whole of these political asyirauts, who feel that without their guiding hands and brilliant intellects the Province must necessarily go to ruin.

Soma fine carcasses of beef have recently been sold at the meat store of Messrs. Blake Bros. To give an idea of the quality we might mention that one cow, fed by Blake Bros., themselves, weighed when dressed 900 pounds, and two steers, fed by Mr. A. Me- Kinley, weighed when dressed 1,500 pounds. This is the sort of meat which makes our marke’ attractive,

Tue slip at Pownal Wharf, which should be kept in repair by the city, and which is in daily use, is now in a most disgraceful con- dition. Since the arrival of the war-ship “Alliance” Lieut, Governor Haviland and others have had occasion to embark from the slip, and owing to its dangerous slanting — and filthy covering of mud, etc., they

ave had great difficulty in getting on board their boats. Could not our City Fathers have the slip repaired immediatelly.

Cricket at tak Park.~—Owing to the shooting and the Gathering, the match adver- tised did not come off, as several of the mem- bers were otherwise engaged. About fifteen players, however, put in am appearance; sides were chosea, and a game was started sooa after three. The last wicket of the first side to bat fell for 53, of which Haythorne con- tributed 10, and Finlay 25; there was only one extra ‘The other side succeeded in get- ting 59, of which nine were extras, the only double figure, 25, being scored by T. A. LePage. ‘WV. Anderson bowled very effec- tively for the winning side, and Dr, Jenkins, who has not played for six years, showed that his right hand had not forgotten its old-time cunning. The game was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The spectators on the occasion were few.

Tomas Exmay, who was, on Monday night the Gth inst., arrested in Summerside for lighting, and afterwards served with a ‘‘bench warrant” for committing highway robbery on North River Road, escaped from the custody of Deputy Sheriif Clay this morning. Enman was being tranaferred to Charlottetown for trial for the offence named, in charge of the Deputy Sheriff. When approaching Freetown Station, he asked permission to visit the “toilet.” The handeufls were removed from one wrist, and, as the train was running at the rate of twenty miles per hour, it was thought safe to allow him ge alone, While in the ‘‘toilet’”’ he raised one of the side windows, got out, hung ov until a convenient - was reached, then dropped. He was only observed by a brakesman who asserts that the train was running very fast, and, that when Enman dropped he rolled over several times, and then got up and ran off.

A Remarkable Child.

ALL OTHER RESPECTS PERFECT.

By the kindness of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar E'zea, living four miles southeast of Mexico, we visited and examined their little eon, John Rodney, just ten months old, which had the misfortune to be born into the the world without arms or limbs. It is one of the most remarkable cases on record. On the left side the shoulder joint and the arm for two inches and a half in length is perfect, the arm terminating in about the shape of an ordinary sized hen’s egg at the small end. Theright arm, as perfect as the other, is about three inches and a half in length, terminating as the other in shape, but unlike the other, it has a well defined joint, though small, with apparently a half cr three quarters of an inch of the }, ulnar bone on lowerarm. The lower limbs are somewhat similar, though in length the reverse of the arm, the left one being the longest, the final bone being about three inches in length; the right is about an inch shorter, both terminating somewhat more abrupt!y than the arms, and like the arms, having a small teat-shaped projection about the size of a large raspberry. Iy every other respect the child is perfect, with about the ordinary flech of achild of its age. As if to compensate for the unfor- tunate absence of arms and limbs, nature has blessed the little fellow with an exceptionally fine head, and seemingly an unusually active brain, He is as bright and cheerful as a little bird, but has the misfortune of cuttjng his teeth during the heated term, which is annoying him greatly. The little fellow seems to possess a strong will, and a disposition to be quite

age, learned to wait on himself, thus fur- nishing a good example to other persons, and more capable of helping themeelves than he. He goes for whatever he wants in any part of the room by rolling himself like a bottle, changing his course as he pleases by the use of his head, giving what- ever direction he chooses to the course of lis body.

While Mr. and Mrs. Elzea are the recipients of universal sympathy in their sad misfortune, which might have been greater, they, like sensible persons always do, take a rational view of the affliction, and have adapted themselves to it philoso- phically and with cheerful resignation. Little Johnnie is the special pet of both parents and five sprightly, lovable sistera,

Kaffir Civilization.

AN UNIQUE ADVERTISEMENT FOR A LIFE COMPANION.

A proof of the advancement of the Kaflir in the arts of civilization is found by a Port Elizabeth (Cape Colony) newspaper in the fact that they have not only estab- lished a newspaper, but have educated themselves up to the refinement of matri- monial advertisements. The Port Eliza- beth newspaper gives aspecimen brick. In this advertisement the Kaflir who proclaims himself to be on the market sets forth the qualifications required in the applicant and and his own estimate of himself as follows: “She must be of the everage height, of bright copper color, age between seven- teen and twenty-one years. The qualifica- tions required are. efficiency in book- learning, and a thorough good hand at all domestic work. The advertiser is tired of eating stamping mealies and unleayened bread. He is of ordinary height, twenty- five years of age, pretty, with a good mous- tache. Instock and property he is worth £135, has a healthy constitution and strong arms. He understands how to work. The girl who, on reading this advertisement, may choose to accompany him through thick and thin in this life, may depend upon her choice. Those willing to reply to this advertisement must inclose their photos, that will be submitted tothe adver- tiser and his friendly advisers fo> selection therefrom. Rejected photos will be re- turned after the decision is come at. ‘Ponnies’ (very short girls) need not apply. Address A. B. C., Port Elizabeth.

The Salvation Army, having been forbid- den the use of the drum and tambourine music at London, Ont., have introduced a new feature in each, the popular attraction of the day. Capt. Wass, of Toroato, took charge of the services, with Capt. Nar Cooper second in command. Two-thirds of the Army carried scarlet flags and tl:c street parade made a striking exhibition. At the barracks a Salvation drill took place, which was full of, startling effects, Capt. Cooper indulging in character whoops and occasional heel-and-toe break-downs. He says aman who has salvation cannot keep quiet.
