Mownr Srewart, Feb. 9.
A full meeting of the electors of Head of Hillsborough and vicinity was held last night, and was addressed by the King’s County candidates and several of the electors.

He says:—-‘* I can remember 21 others who were in the car with me. 1 knew none of thei personally. There were five ladies among them. I was awakened by the bumping of the car.

Ever since the accident the thermometer has fluctuated between 5 and 15 below zero, and many of the rescuers have been badly frozen. An immense number of people are watching the searching parties operate, and almost every newspaper in the United States has a representative on the scene.

Sir Charles in Halifax.
The St. John Sun gives the following summary of the speech of Sir Charles Tupper in Halifax on Saturday evening last :—
Sir Charles spoke for two hours in one of the finest efforts of his life. He handled Blake aml Jones without gloves, and declared that Jones’ speech and action at the drill shed meeting was the best evidence that man could give that he was fighting a losing battle and was going to the wall. Jones’ ahieiebaih that he was for Jones first and the country after- wards was an honest confession, but its recep- tion by his audience was the death knell sounding in his ears. Sir Charles’ incidental reference to this Canada of ours called forth most tremendous applause. He paid a high tribute to Justin McCarthy, whom he had known for twenty years and whose pen and tongue powerfully contributed Sto educating English —e onthe great adyantages of the Canadian confederation, and only asked for Ireland the constitution, blessings and prosperity now mye by Canada. He des- cribed the isolated position occupied by New- foundland, and her inability to negotiate com- mercial relations with the States or to get a settlement of other vital questions, and pre- dicted that the day was close at hand when the ancient colony would knock for admission to sisterhood of Canadian provinces. Jones occupied the unique position of asking Nova Scotia to send men to Ottawa to get repeal from aman who says he will die before he gives it. Blake isa very conscientious man, but he has the greatest powers of seif-decep- tion of any man he (Tupper) ever knew. After spending ten years showing how disastrous the N. P. has been to Canada, he suddenly turns around and says if returned te power he would not change that policy. Blake had at last learned how deeply the N, P was rooted in the hearts of the people, but Sir Charles thought the people would prefer to have it re- main in the hands of its fathers to handing it over to the tender mercies of the men who for ten years have been declaring they will mur- der it the moment they get the chance. Re- ferring to his lifelong friendship for and co- operation with the Catholics and Jones’ sneer that he would not dare repeat in Canada the speech made at the drill ehed, Sir Charles de- clared that he would even be found in antag- onism to any party raising the race and re- ligion cry, and that if Sir John Macdonald himself were to engage ina no popery agita- tion he would turn his back upon him to-mor- row. Twenty thousand copies of Sir Charles’ speech are being printed, and will be scattered over the Dominion,
