We understand that some of our young men are about forming an Aquatic Club, with the special object of encouraging yachting; rowing and swimming by the athletic youth of this city. A timely idea! Although yachting, of late, has held its own, rowing is by no means so far advanced as it used to be Most of our best oarsmen have left the Province, whilst those who remain have Jost their “‘old fire.” We wish to see it again resume its former plane, so that the public may enjoy some of the olden-time regattas, The Hillsborough affords as fine a p'ace as any in the world, not only for yachting and rowing, but also for swimming. With regard t> the latter it is not creditable te the city that the stringent, but weakly enforced, laws against bathing within certain limits have not yet been repealed, so that many of our law abiding citizens are debarred from enjoying the “‘healthiest of all sports.” Here we have all the conveniences for bathing. without necessarily exposing our- selves to public view; but because some ol/- fashioned laws have not been repealed we area shut out from that health-giving recreation, excepting at a cost of time and trouble, quite incompatible with the result. Cleanliness comes next to godliness, and the attainment of the former should be placed within as easy reach as the Istter now is.

Siscz the Salvation Army, under Captain Dougharty and Cadet Wilson, began storming the strongholds of sin, in this city some two weeks ago, the barracks have been crowded at every meeting and many persons were unable to obtain admission. Capt. Cook and Cadet Griffiths, lady officers, arrived in this city and took charge of the barracks on Thursday, Capt. Dougharty leaving for Summerside to resume the work there. Uadter the guidance of the new staff the meetings were continued and the barracks soon became too smal! to ac- commodate those who sought admission. It was then determined to try the Market Hall- Capt. Southall and Capt. Griffiths, the celo brated Welsh minstrel, with his consecrated violin, crossed over in the Norther Light to Georgetown on Saturday and drove from there to town, arriving here about two o clock Sun- day morning ‘Sunday afternoon at three o'clock the whole army under the command of Capt. Southall, made a grand assault upon the enemy’s fortifications in the Market Hall, The Hall was literally packed long before the assault began and the large audience was very well conducted. The implements of war were the consecrated violin of the Welsh Minstrel,

the tambourine manipulated by Cadet Wilson, the relation of war testimonies by officers of the army and some

local converts, prayers by the officers, and singing by the audience. Thelarge audienec thoroughly appreciated the performance, and were Very sorry when it was hreught toa close. AtS8oclockin the evening anothor meeting of somewhat tho same nature was held in the hall. The house was overcrowded and mary could not obtain admission. At each service a handsome collection was taken up. Captain Griffiths left on the afternson train tu-day for Summerside, where he performs to-night. He will return to town in a day or two, and spend about a week in the city. The iceetings will be continued to-night at the barracks, ial

Another Drowning Accident.

An unusally large number of people are being drowned by falling through the ice in Cape Breton this spring. The North Sydney Herald says: ‘‘ A sad drowning accident occurred on Saturday night in McKinnon’s Cove, Boularderie, by which Alexander McNeil, of Big Pond, lost his life. He had been at North Sydney during the after- noon, He had crossed from Little Brag d’Or to McKinnon’s Cove, the usual cross- ing place, but had kept out from the Boul- arderie shore upon arriving within the Cove, when horse and sleigh fell through

the ice, both McNeil and the horse being drowned. MecNeil’s dog which had accompanied him, went home on Sunday, and it was thought so

very strange of the dog coming home with- out his master that a search party went out, fearing that McNeil had fallen through the ice. He was found in the hole with the horse and sleigh, both floating on the water. McNeil was a widower and leaves one

child,”

Mangled in a Saw Mill.

At Greenhill, N.S., on the 26th inst., Daniel R. Stewart, a well known farmer of West River, near Durham, was cutting wood with a circular saw driven with horse- power, when the saw flew to pieces. One part struck him on the forehead, making an awful gash. He fell instantly, and did not speak. He was breathing at 11 o’clock,but the doctor said it was not possible for him to live, andit is not at all probable that he is living now. Mr. Stewart was about 45 years of age, married, and hasa family of four. He was a very popular man, and his
