| CARD TO THE PUBLIC

WHILE inking this opportunity of thank ing our numerous customers for the iiberal manner in whieh they have patron-

ized CUR NEW STUDIO,

we would inform them that we have now increascd facilities for the production of first-class work, and are prepared to make PuotToGaaPus ofa Style and Quatily thai has never been before ailempled in this City.

We have on exhibition, at our Rooms, a large number of Photegraps of every variety. including the

BEAUTIFUL PHOTC- ENAMEL

he most beautiful style of Photograph kuown, possessiug a softness and delicacy of coloring that has never been equalled. This élegant picture has become deservedly popu ar elsewhere, and cannot fail to be- come so here.

“Though the finish of our Photographs canvot be excelled, we would direct aiten- tion to the beautitul

qslaee Pictures

which we make. They possess a highly enamelled surface, and are practically indes- tructible, wud will retsin their freshness and beauty for any length of time. Uf they become sviled they can easily be cleaned, as they will not lose any of their beaaty by being wet. ‘this valuadle quality, com- bined with their remarkable elegance, make them very suitable for presents; while the difficulty of their production will prevent them ever becoming so common as to lessen their value. Our patrons can have one or all of their Photos finished in this style—an advantage which cannot be obtained elsewhere.

We give special attention to making Groups of Fam lies, Societies, Schools, &c

Our pictures of children are sufficient evidence of onr success, in this difficult branch of our art.

Our #NLARGEMENTS, finished in India Ink, Pastel, Creyon, Oil and Water Colors, have made a favorable reputation for them selves throughout the Lower Provinces.

Parties intending to have Photographs made will tind it to their advantage to sit early, as the number of our cu ‘tomers makes some delay in the delivery of the Photos unavoidable. We prefer to have our sitters come by appointment,

Photographs can be obtained for less money elsewhere ; but in this case We ask that quality be given the preference; as- suring the public that they will fiad our eharges very moderate.

876 1S77 lal that oui No. of Men employed, 1,342 1,499

Nv. of Boats employed, 400 44) Value of Boats and Nets, $21,730 $29,900 Bbls. Mackerel] caught. 14,325 17,403

Cans Lobsters, 120,276 113,920

9,720 3,741 Estimated values, $275,835 $325, 67) From the above it will be seen that on the whole the fishing enterprise of the County for 1877 exceeded that of the pre- vious year to a considerable extent; though in some kinds of fish there is a falling off. The reader can also see by the above state- ment that of the whole fishery proceeds of the County, considerably over three-fourths of the aggregate value are from those dis- tricts of which Alberton is the business ‘centre. This, together with our exports of i farm produce and’some $2,500 tons of ship- | ping, ought to be a suflicient indticement | for some one of our Island banks to estab- lish an agency in the place; or at least to investigate the propriety of taking such a istep. ( We may add that there is an error ‘in the above statement in the article of Preseryed Lobsters, as Gavin Bros put up 33,000 cans and Mr. Bennett, 39,000. Ac- cording to the tabulated price, this excess would amount to over ten thousand dollars in our favor.

When the Earth was Frozen Up.

At the end of that long course of geolo- gical ages from the Archwan to the tertiary, which built up the solid portions of the earth in their present configuration, geolo- gists now universally recognize in. the evi- dence before. them, the presence of a re- marksable and stupendious period—a period so startling that it might justly be gecepted with hesitation, were noi the conception un. avoidable before a series of facts as extra- ordinary as itself, and which partaking of its astonishing character, are explained on no simpler hypothesis. “his era is known as the Glacial. It was an era which has left 1is traces in unmistakable monuments over the surface of either hemisphere, and (writ ten its history inno less explicit charac. ters upon their rocks. It was an epoch of arctic rigidity, when the temperature of the earth had become so lowered that the cold regiens of either pole, alternately were permitted to extend their previously contracted circles over the temperate latitudes, and to envelop with a universal and prodigious mantle of ice the lands which once, beneath milder suns, had been the home of an abundant vegetation. The skirts of that glacial sea which perennially spreads its icy and resplendent surface ever polar lands had then, by a favorable con- junction of solar and terrestrial influence, been expanded so widely that to within the latitude of 30 degrees north its frigid folds hid the surface of the earth, while below the equator a similar period seems to have left scarcely less visible trace amid the “forests and papas of South America. The evi- dence which has established the actual pres- ence of these arctic conditions over a great portion of our earth is complete and irre- iragable, and aided by the contemporaneous study of Alpine glaciers and the Greenland icebergs, we can draw conclusions as to the nature and the suecession of events which these conditions occasioned.—Popular Sei- ence for January.
