OE EEE ee ES AD An United States correspondent says that in the distribution of the Geneva Award the great obstacle of Congressional action in the past bad been the persistent claims of the Insurance Companies to the balance of the Award. These claims were finally re jected by the last Congress, on the gtound that they (the Insurance Companies) were not actual losers, and that they were paid,

when shown to be actual losers, un er the

fcouservative, but

The remainder will now be distributed, as a part of it has already been, to those citizens upon whom loss now rests. In this class there are those who lost by the cruisers, not included in the law of LS74,

and those who lost by the payment of

heavy war premiums to these Insurance

Cempanies. Bills favorable to the above |

class of claimauts have passed the House time and again, but have failed to pass the Senate. At the last session the Seuate re- fured to pass a Bill favorableto-the [nstir- afice Companies, and, by a majority of one, laid the matter over till the next session. ae nooo’ cali a ape

Grit newspapers, such as the Patriot, will, of course, on reading the ‘‘ Worces- ter’s” passenger list, blaze with brilliant

articles on ‘‘the exodus.” They will rea-

sonably forget that the majority of those who sailed per ‘‘Worcester’ are young men and women, who, during the reign of McKenzie and Cartwright, made homes in the United States, and are returning, after their native Province.

a brief visit to

They will not consider that one of the grandest celebrations in the annals of Bos-

ton takes place on the 14th inst., and that

a goodly number of the ‘**Worcester’s’ passengers go to be present at the festivi- ties. Neither will they take into conside- ration that September is the pleasantest month for the Maritime tourist to visit the States, and that not a few of the passen- gers were gentlemen on their September

tour. All these facts will be overlooked.

A volley of abuse will be aimed at the

N. P. and its prometers. Ruination, and Desertion of the Country, will be the

i cry; and we suppose these articles will wind up with the prophetic, statement that the Maritime Provinces will soon be depo- pulated.

‘THe correspondent of the /ourna!l at the Brae writes:— ‘‘As two of our young men were coming froin preaching on Sabbath evening, aud having a piece of road f over, through a thick woods, on from a thicket they imagined they saw what | they suppose to be a bearin pursvit. They walked along slowly, and seeing the object yaining on them, they went off to the side%oi the road, and procuring weapons, they awatt-| ed the arrival of the bear, which was not | long, aud had the pleasure of seeing it go past. Quick as thought one of the young men proposed to take off their boots and noiselessly pursue the object. They foliowed it for some distance and at last it vanished from their sight and was seen no more. Since the young men have had the adventure there has been a great mauy conjectures formed about the unknown object.”
