the current into oue or more of the sever- |

CASCUMPEC, ALIAS ALBERTON.

Dear Sir,—I suppose; by this time, you are beginning to expect some of those items of news which I made some sort of a promise to try and pick up to send you.

You willsee by my address that I have got quite far West; and, so far. I have been much pleased with the country. Indeed, I think H. G.’s advice, “Go West young man,’’ holds good in P. E. J. as much, or

| more, than in the neighboring Republic,

and I hope some of you Charlottetonians will take the hint, leave the dusty streets of the Metropol:s, to come and breathe, for a short time at least the invigorating air of Cascumpec, Kildare, and the surround- ing country.

I proceeded on to Alberton viathe Western Road, and, I may mention, in passing, that | have travelled smoother and better roada, A great deal of the road is of that descrip. tion called corduroy, in going over which you get terribly shaken and knocked about, However, a few miles from Cascumpec the road begins to improve, and when you arrive

atithe village formerly called Cascumpec,but now rejoicing in the less euphonious name

of ‘ Alberton,’ you get quite a surprise to see such a smart and business like place so farfromthe Hub of P. E. Ll. Really, Sir, I was quite astonished to find such a large village after my long and weary ride over the Western Road. New buildings are being erected, and the place shows every sign of progress and improvement. The religious wants of the inhabitants seem to be well supplied, as I noticed three or four churches belonging, respectively, to the Presbyterian, Methodists and Episs copalians, in or near Alberton; and I was told that the Roman Catholics are about to build a brick chapel. The schoolhouse is quite a neat building, and will compare very favorably indeed with any of the Coy ernment schools in Ch’town.

As my time is limited,I must leavea further description for another letter ; but I cannot forbear to give you a short acs count ofa ‘Pe:.ny Reading’ which I attends ed while in Alberton. 1 was quite surpris- ed one evening to hear some one remark “Well, are you going to the Penny Ready
