Excursion to Alberton.

| We went to the excursion to Alberton on jthe 14th. The morning was inauspicious, |The sun rose beyond the Hillsborough in a (flush of crimson : and as the angry rays :shot into the morning tide they forbode no good for the day. When the time came for ‘the excursion train to leave it was pouring The excursionists were not to be-out witted by the weather, however, and armed with cloaks and umbrellas quite a number made their way to the station, and were soon sWeeping off through the lowburg nimbus clouds and pelting rain.

We went with the excursion for the sake of seeing our land robed in the full beauty of its summer richness ; and it was rather disappointing to have the sparkle of every fair landscape drowned in grey mist. Every wooded hill top woreacowl of mist wreaths and every distant view was shut out by the veil of atmospheric obscurity. But the twinkling birches hung out their drapery, | beautiful in the falling deluge ; and the old spruces but bowed their arms a little lower as if waiting patiently the will of nature. Within the cars all was merry as if the world was laughing. in gay sanshine.

About the head. waters of the North River the road. goes through some rough land. But it is the rugged beauty of foliage hung hills, and sparkling streams, and ponds-that image the bowing sky. There isa tract of ‘the forest primeval’ here, ‘there a railway cutting placed the roots of the forest monarchs on a level with om heads. The great trunks, with their tower ing leafy arches, crowded on either side of the way, and they hung out their wreaths of leafy tendrils, twinkling and whispering and laughing a welcome as the gay crowded train swept through them.

At Wiltshire the road enters the well cleared country; and « most beautiful pic ture of agricultural prosperity it presents, the swelling hills bright with the varied verdure of grain and grass fields, and studded with the neatest and thriftiest of farmsteads. Hunter River is among the hills, The village lies down by the mill- pond and the stream, while the rolling pastures swell their greenness above the house tops. A few years ago there was nothing moving round here but Patterson’s mill wheel, spattering in the trouty brook; now, the railway has brought the whirl of business and travel, and Hunter River is one of the most important business stations on this line.

Elliot’s is at the head waters of Dunk River, where the stream gathers strength as it leaves the mills. The scenery around is wild and beautful. The lofty forest-clad hills, bright with the varied cloaks of birch pand. ae and the lofty, tapering spires of Lancivnt firs. Deep dark valleys, rich with crowded foliage, where the babble of. secret waters comes up through the whispering leafage. Clothed in the robing mist clouds, the swell of the dark hills, that day, was gloomy grandeur.

Bradalbane is truly the offspring of the Railway. Not many years agoa company of hardy, Scotch immigrants settled in this, then, most retired and out-of-the-way valley. We passed through it when only a few small cleared patches surrouning the log huts broke the gloomy wilderness of the forest. But the iron horse came this way, and Bradalbane to-day, one of the business centres of the county, looks up from her populous valley at the es rempants of the forest beautifying the distant hill- tops.

At County Line we are among the last of the hills. The country levels off after this as we enter the great plains of the lower Permian district. Kensington is a most beautiful station, compactly and neatly built. Entirely the production of the rail- way, its taste in architecture and ornament is as admirable as its progress has been | rapid.

As the excursion wheeled into Summer- side the first glimpse of sunshine broke on the sparkling waters of its broad blue bay. Summerside looks really handsome now, surrounded by its bright green fields, and its harbor, open to the swell of the deep sea. Beautiful Island Park, and the elevated Indian Point, opposite the town, are pleas- ing features in the harbor scenery. The brick chapel on the hill is the ornament of the town; and the new court house would also be a pleasing orndnient if somebody every now and again did not remind you that it is also the jail:

From Miscouche to O'Leary the track passes through a great deel of swampy, un- cultivated land. The richness and variety

There were only three vesselsin ihe harbor; but fifty fishing boats told the in- terest which the place has in the harvest of the sea. About a hundred Carraquette boats also, which had taken refuge in the harbor from the morning,s storm, told of the share which our neighbors take in our rich bay fishery.

The tea was largely attended, and every- body seemed well pleased. At five o'clock Conductor McGowan got his company on board of his cars again, and made splendid time in returning -over the level track of this western road. The ride home was delightful. The most brilliant of evening skies blazed over the long, level roll of the Western forest, which broke in leafy billows along its glowing verge. Deep hung the shadows on its boider, on. meadow and.on humble homestead; and ever and “anon some ripening grain field or flowerstfewn fell flashed out in vivid gold and epimeon. On swept the crowded train, as if it floated ia the enchanted scene; our friends now and again swelling the chorus of lively song.

At Summerside, when the train hauled up on the pier, the crimson light from over the sea was blazing full on the simmering waves of the harbor; and making them one sheet of burning glory at our side, while the Jap of the crystal wavelets whispered under our feet. A number of our friends left the train here, and many a soft good- bye and hearty fair-you-well was repeated by thase who had spent a day of rational, hearty enjoyment together. On the rest of the way home, daylight had faded from the world of rich verdure; but the full moon, over hill-top and wood-land, on ripening grain-field and silvery shaded river, made many a picture of mystic, dreamy beauty such as her own beams alone can paint, B,

The New York Maritime Register says shipbuilding is overdone for the present. The world is over-supplied with tonnage. This surplus must eventually be disposed of and the supply and the demand become more natural. At the next demand for tonnage will the United States be in the market with vessels? Shipping tonnage is subject to fluctuations, but in the end it is as profitable as any other property, as the

country will find out some day.

In addition to the common species of trees the rugged ashes hung everywhere their deli-| cate drapery of primitave leaves; the lower- | ing elms spread their drooping tops; the) mountain ashes studded their rich masses | of primitive foliage with umbels of ripening | scarlet berries. Three species of cornels, bearing cymes, of purple, brown or orange | berries, added to the richness of the varied | foliage; and everywhere in the openings, snowy asters, golden spikes of solidigos, and | purple flowering eupatorice supplied rich |

A renaikable incident, says the Live Stock Journal, is said to have occurred in Ersex. A sow, which was accidentally buried in a straw stack for three months and eleven days, on Thursday in last week was taken out alive. It appears that in building up the stack, the sow got under and was covered up. The animal was missed at the time, but it was believed that it had been lost in a snow drift. We con- fess we should like stronger proof than is yet before us, for we feel at present very much like the lady who never flatly con- tradicted her friends, but who frequently “found very great difficulty in believing their statements.”
