OUR MAILS.

How They Were Carried in the Olden Time,

A QUESTION AT THE END.

Ae there is some 4iscussion going on through the press at present pertain'ng t the carrying of our mails to the mainland it may be of interest to your readers \ know bow the foreign and colonis! mai! were carried from this Island in the ear! part of thiscentury.

Pr:vious to the yeer 1827 the mails! wiuter between this Island and the maiv- land for many yeors wer carried via the Wood Island« by a man named Smith, who was the father of Mr. H. B. Smith, late cit) surveyor, and his occupation must hav

been exccedingly perilous. I find from the records before me the following : ‘Charlottetown, April 14th, 1821, The

mails made up at the post office upon the lst instant were delayed by the stste of tne ice for some days at Wood Islands. How- ever, Mr. Smith, the coatractor, with two men proceeded with great hazard acd re- turned on Wednesday last, coasting the shore from Wood Islands round into the barbor’s mouth, and broaghtwith bim tbe January mail.”

But it appears as bockward aad unpre gressive as the affairs of the Island had to ve managed in those days strong efforts were made tohave the mailscome with more regularity and the commasication for passengers more comfortable and direct. TheHalifax Free Press, in August, 1827, speaks of the situation thus:

“We cannot refrain from alluding to the present precarious mode ef conveyauce from Pictou to Prince Edward Island. It is true, Mr. Smith, the contractor te carry the mails, is about procuring a new veseel, having been disappointed in the one which be purchased last summer; but the safety and comfort of passengers should not be left to individual exertion. The govern~ ment of the Island oxght to see thata fit and proper vesse] is provided: and were such the case, and a stage established be- tween Halifax and Pictou, Charlottetown, duriogthe summer season, would become & fashionable and agreeable place of reo sort.”

In March 1827, seventy, two years ago, Governor Ready visited Cape Traverse, and from his own observation aod information collected on the spot, he concluded that the route from there across the straits of Cape Tormentine would be found the most expeditious and safest for the mails and passengers during the winter months. No doubt through his recommendation the change ofrouie was immediately made; for we find the following official notice dated December 18th, 1827 :

“The mails will be made up this evening at the Post Office and dispatched to-mor~ row morning for the first time by the western route to Cape Tormentine and at that place a runner is employed at the ex- pense of the Goveromentto carryit to Amherstfrom where it will be forwarded by the same route.”

Whether therunner carried the mails in the year 1827 as exyeditiously to Amherst as the equine team of to-day cerries them to Sackville (about the same distance ian winter) I cannot say. But perhaps you, Mr. Editor,and the Guardian man, Can eolighteathe public on that.

The People’s Faith

Firmly Crounded Upon Real Merit —They Know Hood's Sarsapariila Absolutely and Permanently Cures When Ali Others Fail.

Hood’s Sarsaperilla is not merely a simple preparation of Sarsaparilla, Dock, Stil- lingia and a little lodide of Potassium.

Besides these excellent alteratives, it also contains those great anti-bilious and liver remedies, Mandrake and Dande- lion. It also contains those great kidney remedies, Uva Ursi, Juniper Berries, and Fipsissewa.

Nor are these ali. Other very valuable curative agents are harmoniously com-

bined in Hood’s Sarsaparilla and it is carefully prepared under the personal supervision of a regularly educated pharmacist.

Knowing these facts, is the abiding faith the people have in Hood’s Sarsaparilla ® matter of surprise? You can see why Hood’s Sarsaparilla cures, when other medicines totally, absolutely fail.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLE

To the Editor of the Co-operative Farmer :

Siz,—This isan agrieultural country, hence the question may be asked, ehould ,e study of agricolture not be one of the taught #n our pubiic schools ? specially where nearly all in attendance re children whose parents are engaged in irming and who in all probability . will have to depend on their knowledge of the ecience of agriculture forativing. The irricaiam of cur public echools is framed with a view (0 edu_ate and fit one for the se- called higher professione, such as teachers, swrere, uoclors and clergymen. Webave (to find with this respectable clase of our population, for we could act do without them; but they are only a small iy compared with the agricultarri aud mechanical classes of our pecple lberefore, the curriculum of our public. schools should not be framed for their special use and benefit, while leaving the farmer and mechanic ignorant of the knowledge that would make them success ful in their poble celling, and that would put them on par with those of other pro- fessions,

And why is this the case? Was it not because the majority ia the legislatures that framed and passed these schoo] acts were lawyers, ductors and merchants, and they very naturally framed them to suit themselvee, This shows how important it is that farmers should be wel! represented inthe government of the country,

Now, inatead of geometry and a smat- \ering of the dead languages we should bave agriculture, architecture, navige~ tion, engineering, agricultural cbemistry and bookekeeping. We find that to stady the foreign languages is little or no benefitto any, except teachers and those of other literary professions, and who should receive those branches in a college that would make a specialty of teaching those subjects, those colleges to be sup- ported by the state like the public schools

We generally find veryfew in the country schools studying for the literary profes- sion: therefere,the time of teacher and those pupils who intend to be farmers and artisans is more than wasted by studying @ smattering of the dead languages, More - over, the English Janguage is not thorough- ly studied, leaving the pupils unfit to state their ideas intelligently v ith the pen er on apublic platform. Now, education, to be worthyof the name, should fit a majority of those attending our public schools for their future occupations. This cannot be said of eur public schools as they stand to day, forove must serve three or four years at his favorite occupar tion before he is fit to carry on any eug@ cessful business. Now, as nearly al! the failure in the world is tbe result of two cauees, viz., ignorance or neglect to apply our knowledge to euroccupations io the best possible manner, and aa we have too many failures among our farmers it must be attributed to ignorance, caused by a detective school eystem.

We muat have technical education ins troduced into our school system if we would hope to be able 10 compete witb other countries that teach the arts and aciences in their public schools. This is the age of science and im vrovement when the works and products of every ove sha!l be tested and sold on their merits, The keen competition that must follow will drive those who produce an inferior article from theracks of progressive men. It is a well known fact that nearly all che im proved arts und eciences are ibe result o! education wel! studied and directed toward those particular branches. Therefore, if we'have not the science of egricalture and arts taught in our public schools, how are we ta possess this knowledge ? We often hear teachers ciess:d uader the present system trying 'o assert that ayri- culiure cannot be successfully taught im our puble schools, We admit that it cannot be taught by those whodo not know the science, put there is no doubt that it can be taught by teacoers who un derstand it thoroughly.

The first study for tbe agricultura! student is to fled cut the :equiremente of plant food for the various crope. Plant food conrists in the main Of potash, phoe- phoric acid, nitrogen and lime. The next point is to find out what planis take their nitrogen from the soil; also those plants which take their nitrogen from the air. It would be weil for aim to know the im- portance of sowing good reed and the num-~ ber of pounds that should be sown te the acre. Next in importance is to know the pointe of excellence in the different stand- ard breeds of cattle, horses, sheep and swine, Coupled with this should come the knowledge of feeding for the dairy and beef in the cows, for trotting and draft in the berse; also for bacen and fat in the hog. Next ip order should come the knowledge of pow to provide an up-to- date stable, well lighted and veaulated and supplied with pure water. In ad dition to all this the farmers should re- ceive a knowledge of horticulture and veterinary science.

Now, all this knowledge could be taught in our public schools as easily as geome~ try, algebra, Latic, Greek, French and map-drawing, and would be worth much tore to the c -ubtry ip general and to the farmer in particular. This sciestific and practical knowledge of agriculture would be a mine of wealth for the young farmer starting out iv lifeoo the farm. It wovld save him frem many losses and blunders in trying to find out some of this knowledge by experience, which we often find eith:r to ruiu or discourage the young farmer who goes not know the science of agriculture in the beginning.

The farmer’s profession is undoub:ed~ ly the oldest and gresiest ia the world, requiring the greatest intellect, because the farmer has to deal with the hidden works of nature, which were never all known to any man, and therefore edu- cation for it derervee the attention of the state.
