But, we are teld, there is a good deal of ice between Charlottetovn anl Pictou. It is neverthe'ess a fact that the last trip of the Stanley to this port was mide in about four hours !

Granted, however, that Capt. Finlayson and the agent of the Marine Department know better than landsnen what is best to be done with the Stanley, a specia train should certainiy be provided to make close connection

with the steamer at Georgetown, together with acco uno lition for a postal clerk on bvard.

_ The arrangement now existing is simply intolerable, and must excite disconten: throughout the Province if not speedily remedied. The attention of the Govern- ment is particularly directed to the import- ance an. necessity of providing a specia train to run iM coajunction with the Stanley. °

The cordial approval by miny prominent dairymen, in ali parts of tae Dominion, has made the prop sed convention @ practi al certainty. The desire to make the work ot months productive of practical results has led the writer to commit himself to the idea of such a convention, which means

doing verything in his power to mmake it a It is not too much to ask of Cana- dian dairymen that each one of them du his part towards wa for, and the writer has abundant faith in a hearty response to the opportunity here presented to perhaps give the dairy indus- try & great lnpet us.

I wade an effort to secure the ec s-UPera- tion of the fruit industry in the proposed convention, which has resulted in a sugges- tion that one day, at least, be setapart for the consideration and discussion of such questions as will equally serve the fruit in- terest, say the questions of marketing, cold, storage, transportation, etc.

THE QUESTIONS TO BE DISCUSSED would naturally be of a general rather than of «a local character, such as markets, mar- keting, packing, packages, storage, refriger- ation, (ransportation, inspection, grading, butter v. cheese, cvu-Operation, various sys- tems ot! cu-vperation, educational work, | dairy schools, technical aspects, etc., ev¢. | Itis to be hoped that anyone interested and possessed of valuable ideasin this con- nection will be prepared to offer them ; not nec essarily in a long paper, but rather written or spoken in sharp, crisp turm, and to the point. | While abroad 1 made a few purchases (which promised to possess for such an oc- | casiom a certain interest, and perhaps value, all of which will be freely placed at the use of the convention : notably, iy this tiem of mlk-t sting apparatus, which J \found in successiul use in the Copenhagen Milk Supply establishment, and only there.

They weuld be put, as prepared, tou the test of trans- portation, compansen and valuation. ‘They would afford contrast of the different methods in vogue, and, by bringing into view the best, would afford suggestion of what might be adopted more generally. They would afford object ieasens for the conven- tion, of greatest possible vaiue. These amples, also, would afford iunmediat+ means of carrying Out certain experimental work in transportation abroad and market- ing.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Phe States and Canada.

Srr,—The Chariottetown Herald rf the 12th inst., contains an account of aninter- view of a representative of the ihlifax Herald with His Grace Archbishop O 3rien, on the 6th inst., after bis return fom a visit to Baltimore, New York, Bustot, and other places in the United States. Turing this interview His Grace says: ** Now, I admit that the development and gothead- itiveness of the Americans are somthing wonderful, but taking everything int) con- sideration, Canada is away ahead.”

It may be crass ignorance on our part, but we entertain the opinion that, tking everything into consideration, the United Stares are far abead of Canada. It would be an easy task, did space permit, t¢ show the soundness of our opinion. 4gain, ** The condition of life for the genera mass is easier here than there.” True; buy with that ease we have want—its disagryeable accompaniment. Again: ‘‘I dort see why any man who wants to work can't succeed in these provinces.” Is it not a fact that many who want to work can find nothing to do here? Work is necessary to success; but where is tha work tobe ob- tained? All but a small percentage of the young men and women in these provinces who are thrown upon the world to labor for . subsistence, go to the States to seek em- ployment. is this because they ‘ go sbroad and hate to stay at home? I think not. Let us have the moral courage to out with it. Itia be- cause they can obtain employment in the States ata fair remineration and live like comfertable human beings. It is true they uay never become property hulders, and have what Canadians call a stake in the ‘ountry ; but they can do what is infinitely berter—they can live in the enjoyment of ithe necessaries of life, provided they ire sober, honest and industrious. I might siy much more, but 1 Torbear for the pre- -eut. We want to hear the laboring classes speak for themselves. Men of afflu- nee, who have never toiled or sweat, have told us all they know, and we have lis- iened kindly to their paternal counsel and head how patriotism will feed a hungry bsinily, and have had it demonstrated to us how two and two make six, and how plenty of labor may be obtained in the Lower Provinces by all our industrial classes. Bat we beg te inform our leaders of public vpinion that, though we are ready to accept all they tell us, we cannot close our eyes tothe fact that, were it not for the proceeds of the labor obtained by our young men and women in the States, and forwarded to their parents, brothers or sisters, much more poverty and destitution would be felt among the families of the poor throughout the Maritime Provinces during cold winter months than is now experienced. ‘‘I speak that 1 do know, and testify to that which I have seen.”

At it Again.

Srr,—On reading over the Patriot of Wednesday, Dec. 26th, which did net come under my notice till last evening, I observe what purports to be a ‘‘ short summary ” of the Xmas services in the churches, but which in reality is nothing more than a laudatory sketch of those held in St. Paul's and the Methodist Brick Churches,—the services in St. Dunstan’s and St. Peter's being disposed of in the following summary fashion : ** Services were also held in St. Dunstan’s Cathedral and St. Peter's Church.”

Judging from the foregoing, the effect of the Editor’s conversion recently announced is not so lasting as 1 could have hoped ; but as this is the season for making good resolutions, I trust that he will soon see his way clear to making a second reforma- tion, While paying due deference to the word painting of the paragraph entitled ** Yesterday,” I should like to be permitted to ask the writer to define the term ‘* real drunkenness,” and to say that if the defi- nition which I expect will be given is cor- rect, | promise to use such influence as I possess to prevent a recurrence of the com- bination of circumstances which resulted in his ‘* missing the usual dinner in the Market Hall,” aad promise not to ** con- sider the defective training” he has had.

Srx,—In the Patriot's notice of the Christmas service in St. Paul’s Church, in his sermon, the Rector is reported to have said that ** The great blessings promised to believers ina proper use of the Holy Sacra- ment of the Lord’s Supper, was, in one sense, and in soie slight degres, an incar- nation, a union of the divine and the hu

man.” May Lask the meaning of these words. Did Mr. Mr. Jones intend te say that there isa divine and human presence

of our Blessed Lord in the sacrament ?”’ To talk about there being such in ‘‘a_ slight degree” is nonsense,

Sir.—Why is it that the editor of the Patriot devoted a half column (in Wednes- day’s issue) to the services held in St. Paul’s on Curistmas Day, and passed over , unnoticed the beautiful services of St. Dun- ‘stan’s and St. Peter’s?

Inreply to the address Lady Dufferin said that she would have no greater pleasure on returning to England than that of conveying to the Queen the expressions of loyalty and gratitude which the address con- tained.
