It is, we learn, the intention of the an. thorities tosend the ‘‘ Northern Light’ on an experimental trip between Crapaud, P. E. I., and Pugwash, N. 8. This, we are told, is supposed to be the best route for winter communication. We have so fully explained the disadvantages to be met with in the narrow portion of the Strait, that it must be fresh in the minds of our readers. Hence there is no necessity for going ove1 the same ground again. The steamer is ordered to leave on this expedition to-mor- row. We shall now wait to see our prophe sies fulfilled. —Georgetown Advertiser.
‘Enousu Commerce with East AFrica. — A late London letter states that the pros pect of opening up a field for English com- merce in East Africa is engaging the atten- tion of some of the leading men in Lanca. shire. It is believed that in this part of the African continent an extensive field might be found for British trade, and in the necessity of finding new outlets for commercial enterprise, the matter wil! probably be proseculed with some energy. It is contemplated to form a company, and inthe meantime to send out one or two competent men to examine the prospects. This is a sensible and hopeful movement.
Tue Nortarrn Licnt.—A passenger on board the ‘‘ Northern Light” states that the steamer left Georgetown at a quartei after six on Wednesday morning. For two hours she had clear water, then got into heavy drift ice, about eight miles northward of Pictou Island. The engine stepped soon afterward, and the boat drifted eastwardly with the ice. Was off Merigomish at night, and came within eight miles of Arisaig by eight o'clock on Friday morning. _ There were four passengers besides the maii clerk and ice boat crew on board, and all these, with the mails, went ashore at Arisaig on the ice boat. They left Arisaig in sleighs, arriving in Pictou about 9 p. m., on Satur: day. They could have walked from the boat to shore in safety, so closely was the ice packed.—St. John Telegraph 22d.

‘ Ace - Rev. Mr. Checkley’s Deata.
SomE days ago we published a telegram setting forth that the Rev. W. F. Checkley‘ of Toronto, had literally died of starvation. A brother of the deceased clergyman has written a letter in which he positively denies
the statement. He says :—-
‘*T observe in your evening edition very gross wnis-statements in regard to the death of my brother, the Rev. W. E. Checkley, assistant minister of St. Pauil’s Church, Toronto. It is stated that he died of star- vation, that horrible poverty had been se- cretly endured for years, and that for a household of ten or eleven there was an an- nual income of but $400.
‘* All this is utterly untrue.
** My brother had a salary of $800 from the congregation and $400 from the Com- mutation Fund. . His commutation allow- ance he had of late set aside for the pay- ment of debts, and his household consisted of only six persons, and of these his two nephews are in the receipt of small salaries. His son holds a good appointmentment un- der Government, and would have been most willing to help his father had the necessity existed. There was much love between my brother and mysclf, and it is very painful co be forced to place.family matters before chose who are strangers to us, but I fear ‘hat in this case I cannot be silent and do right.
‘* Sincerely yours,
‘* Franeis L. CHECKLEY. -€ 986 Piccadilly st., Jan. 8, 1879.” SS EEE he tee
The “Northern Light”, Again. f°
In reply to Mr. E. W. Sewell’s letter re- specting what he considered the present very dangerons condition of the ‘* Northern Light,” the Deputy Minister of Marine ynblishes a letter from the captain and en- rineer, denying Mr. Sewell’s statements respecting her in tofe. The Agent of the Department in this Province, informs us chat the ‘‘ Northern Light” is now no deeper in the water than she was when new.

Potatoes in Boston. |
Produce dealers holding large lots of} potatoes were cheered on Thursday, by re- | ports from various leading cities where | speculation finds favor, indicating the iin- mediate prospect of a further advance in| prices. ‘fhe reports state that at Chicago many of the large pits have been frozen ; that peach-blows had advanced from 60 to | 75 cents; and that early rose were quick at 80 and 90 cents, according to lots. This is
an advance of 10 to 14 oents a bushel for BOYS. Reeling Jackets,
