Hz Coveuep Ir Up,—The Truro Guardian reports that a boy named Charlie Haley, six years ago fell out of a tree and stuck a sharp. sliver of wood in his side. A large portion of it was removed by his mother, the remaining part causing the boy a great amount of suffer- ing fora time, The wound healed up, but hig health has since been poor, up toa few weeks ago. During the last year or so he has had a fearful cough, spitting blood in large quantities. About six weeks ago he had a bad fit of coughing which terminated in his raising some kind of a hard substance which upon investigation, proved to be a piece of wood. The boy has not coughed oak since, and is rapidly gaining in health.

bushels) white oats; 100 barrels and 50 bags potatoes; 25 tons hay; lcow, and 30 horses, 20 of which were shipped by _ Hon. D. Ferguson to the government of Trini- dad, for breeding purposes. We hope the Hattie Louise will make one of her usual good trips. Quick trips are always record- ed for this vessel, which is due to the efli- cient management of her able and popular captain. Mrs. Barnard accompanies her husband on this voyage.

A despatch from Chester, Northwest Coast, B. C., reports that when the Rev. Mr. Duncan migrated from Metlakathla to Alaska his representatives from Alaska urged the Indian people to come, regard- less of losses, and they promised each family migrating a culdomorn, meaning @ ‘“*bucketful of money.” This spring the culdomorn was demanded publicly and refused. The Council then disbanded, and

of families travelling was discontinued. The cause of the agitation was that feasting had been discountenanced. Mr. Duncan gave a feast and delivered an oration, and was successful in effecting a reconciliation. Three hundred people had arrived previous- ly in Chester, and several loaded canoes are expected to remain in Canada. Forty

rsons returned to Metlakatle ; four fami- fies promised to follow, and others went to Alaska, where there are 35 children in the Sitka school. A permanent Indian house has been erected at Chester.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

——

The West River Steamer.

Sir, —It strikes me that the present Gov- ernment should evince some generosity and consideration towards the inhabitants bor- dering on the West River, although the majority of them are in opposition to the | present Government. By withholding what is justly due to all parties, irrespective of politics, our present governing body seems to show undue resentment. It effects more particularly the residents of Lots 65, 30, 31, and, to some extent, those of 29.

The steamer plying on the West River should be one constructed of sufficient power to enable her to reach the West

iver Bridge in one hour and a quarter from Charlottetown, and vice versa. This does not include the time taken up at the different wharves to land or take in passen- gers and freight. There requires to be pro- per landing stages erected both at McEwen’s and Shaw’s wharves, and good sheds also at each. Shaw’s wharf is ina very dilapi- dated state, and requires considerable re- pairs. It would be a great improvement if the packet was to leave Chariottetown at seven o’clock instead of five inthe morn- ing, and the West River Bridge or Shaw’s Wharf (according to the state of the tide) on her return trip at half-past eight o’clock ! instead of seven in the morning; in the afternoon, to leave Charlottetown at five o'clock, and on her return from the Bridge or Shaw’s Wharf at seven o'clock. This arrangement, I think, would suit the mar- ket people, who have (many of them) to come from a considerable distance to meet the boat. 1t would also enable the numer- ous strangers visiting Charlottetown to see one of the most beautiful parts of the Island, and would give them an oppor- tunity of spending a day amongst the hills and valleys of the West River. Pleasure seekers do not generally like to rise as early as four o’clock in the morning. Why not place the present steamer Southport on the Charlottetown and Rocky Point ferries. There is now an ample traffic for two boats to ply on these ferries. A suitable steamer, constructed of iron or steel, should be pro- eured, which could be worked at one-fourth the expense that is required to run the pre- sent steamer Southport, and one that would have equal carrying capacity for both freight and passengers. Hoping our Island Legislature will take this matter into their serious consideration,

I remain,

Bringing Home the Cows.

The woodlands cast the lengthened shade, The hills are bathed in sunset gold,

The brook keeps time 'mid lilies gliding, To song birds piping in the wold.

Tis milking time, and from the vale is heard the cowboy’s cheery call;

Now loud and clear, then fainter grown, It mingles with the dew-drop’s fall.

The suns’. fades, the hills grow dim, And dona their robes of sunlight grey; And still the cheerful call is heard,

As cows come trooping up the way.

Knee deep amuug the lilies standing, They halt beside the tinkling stream,

To crop the cresses cool and sweet,

And there the cowboy halts to dream.

The stars beam out in evening skies,

And tinge the brook with silvery sheen, In snowy hood at the pasture bars,

The waiting milkmaid there is seen.

Then from his dream young Rollin wakes, And then with loud impatient ‘‘ whoop,” Starting the loitering herd anew, Drives through the bars the panting troop.

His work was done, yet at the bars The bashful cowboy lingers still;

And in the gloaming watched the maid With snowy milk the bright pails fill.

Let down the bars, that she might pass, He saw her take her homeward way;

Yet never a word of speech he'd formed

Could the faint-hearted Rollin say.

She read his secret in his face,

And let her trembling lashes fall;

Then homeward sped with quickened » And in her dreams still heard his call.

is years have flown: And once again ’Tis milking time; and gathered there Among the mild-cyed cows they stand, A grey-haired man and matron fair.

Their hands are joined in tender clasp, And musing o’er that far-off time— She hears again the cowboy’s call

Come up the vale like silvery chime.

Long, long they halt beside the bars,

Till night winds kiss their silvered brows; Then over the meadow brook they pass,

And follow home the loitering cows.

he now has no doubt of its existence, for he saw plainly the mystery of the ocean. Captain Smith and the fourth mate were on the bridge together just at daybreak of Saturday, May 4, in latitude 44°, longitude 42° 40°. The sea was smooth and only faintly rippled by a light air from the south- west. Captain Smith chaneed to look astern and saw something in the water not more than 100 yards away. To the naked eye it appeared, in Capt. Smith’s wonds, as a ‘‘ large black obstacle sticking out of the water in a perpendicular position—like a long spar or river buoy.” He seized the glasses to make it out more plainly, and saw it was alive. There above the water rose the head and neck of a tremendous monster. The head resembled in size and shape **‘ the top of a beef barrel,” as Capt. Smith put it. The body, though completely submerged, could be made out plainly by the disturb- ance of the water around it, and 300 feet away from where the head and neck stood out of the water the monster's tail was beating and lashing the sea into foam with as much force as the Princess’s own pro- pellor. Capt. Smith turned to send for Capt. Freeth, the Princess's commander, but before he could give the order the sea serpent had dived, and that was the last seen of it.

Farm Notes.

Laying hens are very fond of broken bones. They help to digest other food when they can- not get at sharp gravel, and with the strong digestive apparatus which fowls have, every part is made use of. The lime goes to make the shells, but if the bones have been only cooked and not burned, they are full of the materlal from which the egg iteelf is made. The only advantage from burning bones is to make them break up more easily. The fowls certainly do not like themas well, nor are they so good for them as when broken up without burning.

The way to lift the mortgage is to hitch two good breeding mares to it and bid them o. Farming is a poor business when the farming

is poor.

De-niereew is the day when idle men work and fools reform.

Make a bargain to use the same stallion for two years. You might geta matched

air. i A man too busy to take care of his health is like a mechanic too busy to take care of his tools.

It is said that the Arab horse is watered but once in twenty-four hours, but the Arab makes a virtue of necessity. If you want to keep your horse comfortable water him at least three times per day, and when possible let him be a full half hour before eating.

The disagreeable fact recently brought most prominently to notice by Sir John Macdon- ald, the Canadian Premier, that Canadian butter bears as low a reputation in the mar- kets as Canadian cheese bears a high one, calls, says the Montreal Star, for the earnest consideration of all concerned. It not only affects the interests of the farmers and the dairymen, but equally the commercial inter- ests involved in the disposal of dair products, and the general reputation of anadians ; for people are judged by their industrial standing in the world, and want of enterprise or skill in any leading industry refleets upon the whole people. ‘* By their works ye shall know them,” is an old but well recognized principle which affects all classes of men, not only morally but industrially. Hence it should be matter for the deepest concern that an evil reputation lies like a stigma upon the butter producers of Canada in the foreign markets, and why this should be so, and how it can be changed, and this disagreeable

stigma be removed, are questions which deserve sertous coustieratton.
