of modern civilization was higher than any issue of national destiny. After reference to the religious question, and to our relations with France, Lord Salis- bury urged his cougtrymen to show themselves worthy of the coming strug gle. Referring to Great Britain’s foreign relations, Lord Salisbury said it was England’s policy to shun quarrels where she was not concerned.

The rapid development of the nation is alter- ing the face of the country, establishing new roads aud better communications, improving knowledge amoag the people, and making many places accessible which were before beyond the reach of brief holiday Visits, The insecurity which haunted the Turkish frontier has been pushed back to the north; new Alps avd new monasteries are brought within the range of Greece.

The Soil of P. E. Island.

Tue soil of our Island, though said to be a red sandy loam, really consists of several distinct varieties

First, We have the clay soils resting on a subsoil of red Aen cious clay. These are well exemplified in the wet, scrub-covered barrens of the West. All the patches of wet clay soil on the drier parts of the country hada similar origin, and bave a somewhat similar structure. It is an in structive circumstance that in hilly parts of

| the country swamps are often on the tops of

the hills. All these soils are too wet for profitable cultivation without draining. In their natural state they are often covered with a thick vegetable deposit in the state Chis supports a luxuriant growth f swamp plents, but is too retentive o moisture for the support of cultivated crops. lhe soil immediately under the peat is of a grey color. This is caused by the acidu- lated water from the peat deoxydizing the iron in the soil. Such soil is always unpro- ductive. Barren soils are also apt to contain large accamulations of iron oxide. | observed this to be the case in the west- ern barrens. This is exceedingly pre- judicial to cultivation.

Secondly. We have sandy soils which

aro too dry for the most _ eftici- j}ent productiveness. They are not very common, but may be seen on the low tract between Tracadie and the

Hillsborough River, in some parts of the extreme west of the Island, and in other low but exposed places, They are the sand banks and reefs left by the last wash of the retreating boulder sea,

The main fault of these soils is that they are too open and porous, so that everything nus leaches out of them

Dressings of humus from the vill always be valuable on them.

grad. Our best soils, and the most com- mon, are formed by the ice-wrought mass of the boulder clay, which spreads, like a slose-fitting garment, all over our swelling hills and gently undulating plains. It is composed «f the disinteyraded materials of the c'ay shales and sandstones, kneaded together by ice agency in such a manner as | to make an open, friable, easily-cultivated | soil, and yet one well adapted to retain all

ments of plant fertility. The richest soi's are found in dry, open | valleys, where they originally supported growths of giant birches (B. excelsa) and maples (A. saccharinum) The | surface was yearly strewn with the rich har-

at once.

The Fitznatrick Murder.

THE BOY DIES CF HIS WOUNDS

The Arrest of Two Bo-s on Suspicion,

Tue boy Fitzpatrick, who was shot at the Hermitage on Friday evening, died of his wounds on Saturday night, at 12 o’clock He suffered tke a martyr upto noon on Saturday, but was quite rational, and could discribe the men or boys who shot him and the team in which they drove. The evening previous to his death he often became delirious, and from six o'clock sank fast An hour before he died he was questioned as to how the shooting occurred. He said : ‘““T was going after the cow, between four and five o'clock, ‘Two men came up in a cart with a big brown horse. They (meaning the men) were pretty big. I was not firing stones at them. They had no whiskers, They said they would shoot me. They then fired a shot at me. It was a long gun they had, like my father’s. 1 came home after they shot me. When I was at the gate a woman who was in a wagon with a man asked me if the bullet went through me, and I said it did. I don’t think the men who fired were drunk. It was a truck wagon the men had who shot me. I know Beales boys. It was not them that shot me, that I know.”

The unfortunate boy while making this statement fell several times into a stupor, but always recovered, looking bright and sometimes smiling at his interrogators. No legal deposition was taken, as there was no Justice of the Peace present,

Last night two boys named Francis Beales, aged 16, son of James Beales, Exq., and Arthur Smith, aged 14, son of William Smith, Esq., both of this city, were arrested on suspicion of being the ones who fired the fatal shot. They were arraigned before the Stipendiary Magistrate this forenoon. Hon. W. W. Sallivan, Attorney General, appeared for the Crown, and L. H. Davies, Esq., for the prisoners,

‘heir examination was adjourned until to-morrow, pendiny the coroner’s inquest.

An inquest was commenced by Dr. Me- Leod, Coroner for Queen's County,at 11.30 this forenoon. The jury is the following gentlemen :—

P. E. I. Railway.

Tue Moncton Times correspondent, who visited the city last week, has, ameng other notes of the Island, the following reference to our railway :—

“The Prinec Edward Island Railway 200 miles long, and with the Cape branch somewhat more than 200 miles, It is said, however, that the road, especially that part of it between Summerside and Charlottetown, was built for length, and might be considerably shorter, and the many curves which appear for the most partto be quite unnecessary, seem to this idea. But apart from this defect the Island road is a goou institution, and has Le2n recent rears. The roadbed steel rails have been put down, and the station buildings, ete., arein excellent repair. Best of all, the officials are courteous and attentive to the wants of the patrons of the road, and Superintendent Coleman, who

Mr. Unsworth, the Mechanical Superintendent, is evident’y the right man in the right place arrangement of the shops and yard and the con- nections with the harbor appear to be perfect. About one hundred and twenty men the shops, in which engines

Unsworth himself, are constructed. The first- class cars which usually run on the express trains are certainly superior to anything that could be expected, and compare perhaps more than favor ably with I. C. R. cars. These cars are slightly wider than any heretofore used, and exe.) those on the Taunton, Mass., road, said to be the leading

neat, home-like, and more easily the window slat blinds generally in use. Unsworth is constantly introducing improvements in all classes of the rolling stock: and the engines lately built, comprising al] the good features of various makes, are capable of hauling very heavy trains, Some 300 cars have been added to the equipment of the road within a few years, and in- stead of the light 8 ton ears, 10, 15 and 20 ton cars are now in use. The system of fire protection, lately introduced by Mr. Unsworth, is very com- plete, extending to all parts of the shops and yard, and capable of being extended to the market square.”

Obituary. On the 9:h inst., while on a visit to her son, Mr. B. Cox, of Souris, Mrs. J. B. Cox, of More!l, departed this life, after a few days’ illness. Most of the members of her family were with her, and all that human skill conld do was done to relieve her svfferings. The deceased was much respected, especially in the neighborhood where sho resided. She was a loving mother, a willing helper to all in offliction, and a liberal giver to the poor. A member of the Episcopal Church, but a regular attendant at the Methodist Church at Marie, ber home was always open to all ministers of the gospel, where many have had a very cordial weleome. Her funeral, which took place on the llth inst., was largely atrended by all classes. Seldom has there been sucha procession, the church being filled The funeral sermon was preached by the Rev. E. Bell, from the text ; ‘‘ For David, after he had served his own generation, by the will of God fell asleep, and was Jaid unto his fathers and saw corruption.” — Acts 13, 36.
