the Main-

of maintaining continuous
on this subject im possi-
bility communi-
lowing appreciative remarks:-
‘Prince Edward Island is about as pleasant & place to visit as any on the foot stool, except When the ice-boats run, and perhaps the most pleasant period of the open season is that in which the Provincial Exhibition is held, an event which occurs, according to advertise- mentin this issue, on the 6th and 7th Oc- tober prox. Wecan assure all who attend from the mainland that they will receive every courtesy and attendance from the offi- cers of the P. E. I. Navigation Company as well as from the officials in charge of the Island trains, the comfort and convenience of travellers on these lines being always a first consideration. In addition to these condi- tions, which make travelling pleasant, they will see the finest produce and the finest stock on the continent, and will return with much
cauon during winter and criticising ad- additional information and the solid convic- vérsely the subway scheme. But in con tion that P. E.

Boston Markets. sOSTON, Sept. 25.
Poraross There has been a liberal sup- ply of Potatoes the past few days, and prices are easy, Hastern Rose have been | selling at 50¢., and Hebrons at 53c. per bushel. Northern Rose and Hebrons at 45... and Northern Burbanks at 48 to 50c, Sweets are quiet at $1.50 to $2 per barrel. (Later advices from Boston report that the | potato crop is only eighty per cent. of an average, and as a natural result Island | tubers are wanted and must command good | prices. All shipments for Boston entrusted to Hatheway & Co., or Barclay & Co., inay be expected to realize good prices. )
Eaas—The market has further advanced, and fresh stock is well sold up. Eastern extras command 2le:; and Eastern firsts 20
to 20;e. P. E. Island readily command 20c, and some inarks of Western run up to 20c. Market closed firm.
Fisu vrape.—There has been a good de- mand for Mackerel, and all arriving from the Provinces and the fishing grounds have been disposed of at full prices, Receipts at Boston for the week, closing Friday, were 5,863 bbls, of which 4,703 bbls were from foreign ports and 1,163 bbls from do- mestiec sources. The fleet landed 7,298 bbls against 8,598 bbls for the correspond- ing week last year. The total catch to date by the New England fleet is 58,557 bbls, against 258,900 bbls same time last year, and 319,698 bbls in 1884. Sales of un- culled fromthe Provincesat $11 to $12 per bb), and some late caught are held higher. Bay trips have been selling at from $13 to $14.-
50 per bbl sea-packed, according to the lateness of the catch. Inspected lots of Bay rule at $9.50 to $10 No 3; $12 to $14 for No 2; and $16 to $20 for No 1, inelud- ing medium and large. A few small lots from Block Island sold at $18 for No 1;) $37 to $40 for extra No 1; and $13 for No 2. | A few No 2 of 1885 catch sold at 38 per bbl. Medium No 3 are scarce and wanted. There has been a fair jobbing trade and stocks in dealers’ hands are small. Codfish

In their annual report the Directors of the Canada Life Insurance Company draw attention to the fact that the new business transected again largely exceeds all pre- vious years,
They say that the number of applications for assurance was 2,654, for the sum of $5,873,456, and caretul consideration of each of these resulted in the acceptance ot 2,448, for $5,486,456, with annual pre- miums of $188,023.51; 186 applications for assurance of $387,000 not being such as it appeared in the interest of the company te accept, were declined, and the remaining 112, for $242,000, were not completed.
The total business in existence at 30th April last was $39,511,547.44 of assuran- ces, under 20,073 policies, upon 15,613 lives, and an annuity of $400 per annuin. As shown by the statement of receipts and payments, the income of the past year was $1,493,405.51, and. after payment of all claims and other expenditure, including $455,407.10 of profits paid in cash to policy holders, the total assets of the company were increased to $7,396,777,- 50. During the year 156 deaths of assur- ers for $438,547.79 occurred under 195 policies, but as the sum calculated upon $547 ,633, it will be seen that the claims under what were
was § by deaths were largely
provided for.

That it is an ill wind that blows nobody good holds even in the case of voleanic eruptions. After the disturbances in New Zealand Stowers of voleanic dust fell over a wide area, in some places to a depth of several inches, and it was feared that a
rastaiing cale city had befallen a great portion of the province of Auciljand. The dust had a faial effect on animal life. Birds reptiles and the lower members of the brute creation perished from inhaling it, and it was thought that the pasture lands of the district were ruined. Experiments made by Mr. J. A. Pond, however, have shown this anxiety to be groundless. Speci- mens of the dust have been tested by him and found to be capable of itself of main- taining plant life, and the grass that had been buried beneath the unwonted shower had forced its way to the surface all the stronger after its temporary burial. It has been noted, too, that seed sown in the Opoliki dust progressed much faster than in that from Tauranga and Wairo.
