‘ ™ ° ; | Notes from Valleyfield.

; Some time about the latter part of |Angust, a society was organized in this iplace, designated the Valleyfield Mite Society, having for its cbject the mutnal improvement and entertainment of its mem- bers. Meetings are held weekly, and a quarterly fee is levied upon all persons en- rolled. The money thus collected, over snd above necessary expenditures, is to be devoted to such object—charitable or other- wisee—as the majority shall decide. The credit of getting up this society is princi- pally, if not wholly, due to the young ladies of the place, who, to set the ball rolling, got upan QO, K. picnic. The officers for the current quarter are:

President—-A. F. Bruce. Vice:President— Mary Ann McLeod. Treasurer—-Lizzie Ann Bruce. Sentinel~John W. McLeod.

Three of our most popular young men left last week by steamer ‘‘ Heather Belle,” en route for Halifax, to resume their studies at Dalhousie College. At the preceding meeting of the Valley lic ld Mite Society, the following resoiution wes moved by A. Martin, seconded by John W. McLeod, and unanimously carried.

Resolved, That this society acknowledges witu pleasure the support and kind interest extended to it by Messrs, John P. McLeod, Jobn M, McLeod, and C. Munro, uring their college vacation, and desire to record the deep regret of its members at their departure, and can truly wish that, after their arduous studies of another session are over, they may return, carrying with them their usual laurels of success,

Messrs. D. D. Bruce and Charles W. M «tin have arrived heme from Colorado and Montana, respectively. They have hoth settled down to work on their farms, and say that, for all Uncle Saunnel’s d -min- ions are flush with cash, there is no place like home, N. P. to the contrary notwith- standing.

The most heartfelt sympathy of all classes in this community is extended to the he- reaved parents of Alex. D. Martin; intelli. gence of his death, of typhoid fever, in far west Montana, being received by them last week. The above was the eldest son of Dona'd Martin, and was a young man who, by the most amiable and unassuming disposition, won the love and esteem of all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. All that medical skill, the loving hands of a younger brother, and friendly comrades {could devise, was done for him, but without avail. The lest enemy conquered.

Bast Point Notes.

It is feared that Mr. Lauchlin McDon- ald, Prospect Hill, will lose the use of one of bis hands from the effects of the cut which he received some time ago.

Occasionajly the reader sees accounts of the havoc which dogs make among flocks of sheep. Here is one which I think is not below the average: Mr. Duncan Stewart,

| West River, recently lost sixteen sheep in

one night. The most of them were found dead in the morning, while the remainder were so torn and mangled that they had to be killed. Several other farmers in the ‘same vicinity, have been great losers by the ravages of these pests.

Some time ago, Mr. Thos Harris, Elmira, ‘contracted with the Supervisor to build a bridge in that vicinity. Mr. Harris has been for some time engaged in hauling timber and preparing itfor the frame-work. ‘Some evil-minded persons went to the place ‘op the night of the 27th October, instant, and sawed each piece of timber into two or ‘more pieces, thus rendering them useless ‘for the purposes for which they were in- tended. Asitis believed that Mr. Harris hasa clue to the guilty parties, it is co be hoped that steps may be taken to have them brought to justice. Persons who, through ma'ice or envy, would thus grievousiy in- jur+ a quiet and incffensive neighbor, de- serve not only the scorn and contempt of the community at large, but also the pun-

t

‘ishment which the law inflicts.

| A barn belonging to Mr. Jas. Kennedy, ‘Feirfield. together with a quantity of oats ,and other Valuable articles, was totally con- ‘sumed by fire on Friday night, October 29th. Two horses also perished in the flames. The fire was caused by the explo- sion of the oil in a kerosene lamp. As thee was a quantity of combustible mater. ial in the barn, the flames spread so rapidiy that when help arrived it was impossible to stey the conflagration.

THE MEN WHO HUNT THE SEAL—-EXPERIENCES OF THE BUSINESS.

Letter from St. Jchn’s, Nfld.

A motley and curious lot are the men who for a few weeks in the year, hunt the seal. Stalwart in frame, used to ihe sea until they have absolure contempt of its terrors, bold in adventures on the treacher- ous ice-floes, and marvellously skilled in seal lore, they make up a body of men in seme respects not to be matched on the globe. Crowded like pigs on a sealing steamer, they cultivate a positive affection for dirt, and regard it as a kind of henour- able badge «f their adventurous calling. During a voyage of several weeks they never teke off their clothes, even to sleep. The oil from seal blobber fairly drips from their garments, dirt, soot, and tar adhere to their faces in steadily thickening strata, and when they fina'ly enter port to strut the rt'eet is unwashed glory they are i: carnate emblems of flth and odour. A_ night in St. John’s after the arvival of two or three Incky seal crews means bedlam for the city. Honest burghers fly the streets and look well to the doors and shutters o’ nights. On the ice the endurance, surefoot- edness, and daring of the sez] hunters are well-nigh inerecible. They leap frm cake to cake where it seems even a child could not be sustained, drag their heavy boats long distances throvgh the hummocks, and think nothing of passing a night on the ice far from the steamer, provid-d only seal are near. Their coli hands they warm by thrusting them in the gashes cnt in the still palpitating carcass of the seal, and ove in- stance is recorded where a freezing sealer saved his life by heaping up the gory car- casses for a night over his own body. When hunting the sevlers go by twos, so that one can aid his companion should he fa lin the water between the floes. Though the finding of the seal herds is largely a watter of luck, considerable depends on the sagacity of the captain, who, if up to his business, watches carefully all the winds of late February and early March, so as to know where and when the ice can best be ‘met.

, Curious and isolated facts gathered from sealing experiences are related here without number. Some years ago, during an other- wise bad season, the seaig ‘‘struck in” oa the ice near the Newfoundland coast, while the steamers were away. Women and chil- dren, leaving. the shore, engaged in the slaughter, and during «a few days 64,000 jhead were killed within afew milea of St. Johu’s. At about the seme time a cyclops jamong the seals was found with only a ‘siugle perfectly develop>d eye exeetly in ltke centre of the forehead. In avother shapoly animal had eight flip-

rs, instead of four, the usual number.

e flippers of the novel creature, all of full size, were arranged symmetricelly by fours on the upper and lower parts of the body. Whether these specimens were freaks of nature or represent- ed separate species, is a question for zoologists. The flippers of the seal, by the way, when fried are reckoned a ‘rare dainty by the islanders, and are often brought tack from the ice in long strings to be kept for food. When, as rarely hap- pens, more seals are found than a single steamer can load, the surplus seals are killed and the pelts heaped on the ice, to be marked with the steamer’s flag In that case an unloaded vessel can bring in the pelts and demand a large percentage of ‘the value. On their sccond voyage out the steamers seck the full-grown animals, ;which weigh some 200 pounds. They are ‘fierce fellows, who force their way to the water, and have to be shot, making the process of collecting pelts slow and un- profitable as compared with the capture of a new born herd.

| When the steamers arrive the pelts are unloaded and transferred to the oi!-factories which line the eastern border of St. John's harbour. The blubber is separated from the pelt to be fried into oil, which is used for lubricating, for fine soaps, and a dozen other purposes The skins are salted, then sent to Europe, where they are tauned inte coarse bat handsome leather, particularly b-autiful for its graining, and worked up for purses, costly book-binding, and like uses As stated, the sealing vusiness of the North Atlantic is almost monopolized iby the Newfoundlanders. A flcet of steaw- ‘ers belonging to « firm at Dundee, Sevt- land, come every year to St. John’s, bat they take their crews on here, and here also is the factory of the owners The won- opoly is now, end promises to be for all time, a natural one, founded on proximity ‘to the ice, and still firmer en the long [treditions, the trained experience, and the ‘elmost reckless enterprise of the bold sealers.

| How ro Cottecr Desrs.—A practical ‘illyseration of debs-coliecting, which we do net recommend a8 an example, is reported from Paris. A millioer wanted 6,000f. from a lady for goods supplied, aud, hear- iog that her customer was on the wing to another part of the continent, presented herself with a receipted account, explaining that she had done soto save time, as her jlitile boy was suffering from a violent attack of small-pox, and that she wanted to get back tohim. The lady wanted to send the money, but, the milliner politely offering to repeat her visit, the cash was prompily forthcoming. After the money was paid the milliner took her leave, and in doing so eased her customer’s mind by telling her the story of the sick child was a ruse to make her settle tlhe account for fear of infection from the repetition of her creditor's visit.
