from Mr. Barle, was also good. Mr. Karle’s voice has not sufficient volume, however, to mate with hers; but then one forgets this whea he plays the accompaniment, Phe solo (Wilson) and quartette, ** Bring Me « Letter,” was very creditable. Mr. Wilson sings well, having a tine tenor voice Master James Hyndman has become quite an acquisition tv’concerts, Though quite young, he cannot now be overlooxed when a concert isvn hand. His vivlin solo last evening was very agreeable and very well rendered. Mr. D. Gordon played a violin solo for the first time last evening before a public uudience. Were it not for a little nervousness and too much’ hurry, his svle would have been much more pleasing. Mr. Carruthers read several selections in a splendid manner, and which appeare! to be much appreciated by the audienve. A chorus, ** Vogel’s Waltz,” by the Choir of St. James’ Church was sung in a manner alike creditable to the chvir and to their instructor—Mr. Earle. It must be more than gratifying to him to know: that his
efforts are being crowned with unusual success, and that the choir, so lately
brought under his charge, can now compare favorably with any im the eity. The even- ing was well spent, and everybody went away apprrently pleased. The performance closed by singing **God Save the Queen.’ On Tuesday evening, the 28th inst., Mal- colm MeLeod, Esq., will deliver a lecture in the same Halil. Subject—‘‘Joan of Are,”

An Unfaithfal Wife
A Fredericton, N. B., special to the St. John Telegraph says: ‘*Harry Hooper, a blacksmith belonging to Gibson, has jast re- turned from Cambridge, Queen’s County, where he had been having papers served upon his wite, Eva Louisa Hooper, in a case of divorce, the charge against her being unfaith- fulness. Hooper told the Te/egraph that he belonged formerly to Summerside, P. E. Is- land, but had been living at Gibson for the past six years; that five years ago he got married, his bride, then 16 years of aye, being a daughter of wr. Wiiliam Colwell! ; that their married life had been happy until last Angust when he received positive infor- mation that she had been untrue to her mar- riage vow, her partaer inthe crime being a married man now living at Gibson and form- erly belonging to Portland, St. John ; tht his wife confessed her guilt and would make no defence. in the «action for divorce. Hooper says his wife and he parted in August, and she went to live with relatives in Cambridge, Queen's County, there, he alleges, to escape being served with divorce suit papers. The deputy sheriff of Queen’s served the papers a few days ago upon the “woman while she was attending a *‘ singing bee” at Cambridge. Hooper feels very badly over the matter, but sys his young wife had been led astray by the man who had interfered between them: He further states that he-has no doubt that the wife of the man who robbed him (Hooper) of his happiness will seek a divorce from her hnsband. Hooper is about 25 years of age. He has no children. The hearing of the divorce case is fixed for June.

Y EXAMINER, - ag
ae TR Naufrage Harbor Works.
Pursuant to notice, a public meeting was held at Bear River Live Road Schoo! house on che 8th inst., for the purpose of discuss ing the feasibility of sconverting Naufrage Pond into a harbor fer boats and other small craft. order, on motion, Paul McPhee, Esq. ,sJ.P., was named to the chair, and the under- signed appointed secretary.
Letters expressing regret at inability to attend .on account of priot engagements, were read from the Hon. Thomas Kiekham, M.. L. -G., Jdouhn MeLean, Esq., MP. P., and A. C. McDonald, Ksq., ex-M. P.
Mr. James B. McDonald then stated in detail the object ef the meeting. About tive years ago the inhabitants of this and the surtounding . settlements Sent, a numerously signed petition to the Depart- meut of Public Werks at Ottawa, praying that steps be taken to connect the Pond with the sea bya suitable channel, In the fall of ’S4 au enyineer was sent to ins ect the place, and report thereon. He had a copy of that report now before him, which he regretted to say was unfavorable. He could aceownt for this by the fact that when the engineer was on, the weather Was stormy and prevented him from taking The inside soundings are satisfactory, but full data, were, re- quired before a report could be considered entire. The report, therefore, was actually not damaging to the contemplated werk ; it was incomplete. He would assure the Dominion representatives of the County that the Pond was of larger dimensions than represented ; that the average depth was fully nwre ‘than stated; that the Pond was suppli¢d with a powerful head of water, supplemented by various smaller ones, and that beyund the beach the-sea- bed seeined vse favorable He cun- sidered $6,009 would suffice to convert it into a splendid boat arbor, while @ larger outlay would assure greater accommodativor,
Mr. John O' Henley exhibited a plain, on a large scale, of the pond and its environ- ments. He stated that he assisted Eugineer Sclwun in taking his soundings, and that throughout they found the bed to be soft
soundings outside,
mud, penetrable anywhere fifteen feet and more. He showed thie comparative facility of cutting through the beach
where it is narew—only two hundred feet or ihereabouts—and the advantages of cutt- ing there as the canal would have the shelter of the projecting cape in the west. Mr. Alexander A. McDonald stated that the ocean bed lyimg tu the westward of the cape referred to by Mr. O'Henley was a rocky and not a sandy bottom as sometimes supposed by strangers, and that therefore sand obstructions need be apprehended only from the east or north-east. | Gales generally come from the west and north- west. He econtendei that the action of the tides and the press of water from the head streams would effectually keep the passage clear. He would tell his hearers that the body of water in the pond is heavier than perhaps they imagine. - The surplus water is not all carried of by the little outlet that now appears on the surfaee. He would remind them that where the sand now is, was formerly -a marsh. Therefore that marsh still affords a means of® drainage by filtration or perculaticn. He referred to the schooner Edith Weir that was stranded on that heach-some ten years ago. She was embedded in the sand, and when the wreckers were engaged in floating her, they found the marshy sub- stratum to which he alludes, plainly under- lying the scene of the wreck. Mr. Juhn O'Henley rose again to cor- reborate that statement of invisible drainage by percolation by personal observations. He ownsafarm close by the pond, to reach which he has occasion to pass over the main road bridge frequenily. Many times he noticed a perceptible. rise and fall in the waters ofthe pond which he can only satisfactorily account for by supposing that the percolation was arrested by the rising tide inthe sva. Captain D. Costello who claimed intimate acquaintance with the pond and its sources, stated that he knew of full half a dezen spring holes, of very considerable depth, which certainly acted as independent sources of supply to the pond. He fully believed in the feasibility of the schemg, and referred to the statements of Senator Howlan, who, some years ago declared, when visiting the spot, that $8000 would make a magnificent boat harbor there. Being the only meeting in the county deal- ing with publie-works he hoped our request would meet with favorable consideration at Ottawa.
J. ©. Underhay, Esq., M. P. P., re- marked that some eighteen years ago -he made, at the instance of those interested in the work, a preliminary survey, aud quoting from memory, he thought he cal- culated the cost of opening a canal large enough for boats at ahout $3000. He fully believed a little money judicioysly expgnd- ed would assure the most gratifying results. Indeed, hé huped tc see the work © under- taken at once, and carried to a successful issue.
Dr. Melutyre, M. P., Dr. Robertson; M. P., James R. McLean, M. P. P., and Dr. Muttart, ex-M. -P., in turn addressed the meeting, each speaker dwelling on the ne- cessity of harbor accommodation of some kind inethe vieinity, and expressing the hope that where nature had done so much, her efforts should be generously seconded by the Department of Public Works. The two former gentlemen pledged themselves to use their best endeavors during the com- Ing session of parliament to effect the carrying out of so important a public work.
The following resolutions were then put and adopted : —
Whereas, In the opinion of this meeting the report of Chief Engineer Perley ig based on notes and data furnished py Engineer Schaun ;
_And Whereas, The time whén he visited Naufrage for the purpose of his survey, was most unfavorable -o= account of. stress of weather which prevented séa soundings from being taken,-a precaution most necessary ,in this connectiva tg.render his-work complete.
Thercfore Resolved, That™ this meeting. do request. our Dominion representatives to ap- proach the Minister. of Public Works with the view. of-remoVing the erroneous impres- sion this report is caleulated to convey,
Aud Further Resolved, Vaat our represen- tatives, -acting on the petition sent to the Depa tment in 1883, do request the Hon. the Minister t» send an engineer in mid-sammer. to report anew, in this, to us, must import- ant public work:

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Manufacturers and Producers of the Dominion.
Sre,—Will you kindly. grant us space in your valued journal to solicit the active co- operation of the manufacturers and producers of the Dominion in an enterprise that we be- lieve will materially assist in promoting the future trade of Canada. To facilitate the ob- jects of the government's trade Commissioner to the Argentine Republic, the St. John, N.B., Forwarding and Trade Promoting Associa- tion intend dispatching a clipper sailing ves- sel at the earliest possible date from this port t» the port of Buenos Ayres, for the purpose of enabling the manufacturers and producers of Canada to send consignments of their pro- ducis (at the lowest possible rate of freight) to the Argentine Republic. Shippers can con- sign to their special agents at Buenos Ayres or to the care of the commissioner, who will see that the shipments are placed in the hands of reliable agents for exposition and sale. The foliowing isa list of articles, which,among many others, will generally find a ready sale in South America, viz.:
Agvicult ‘ral implements and tools, alcohol, apples, biushes, toilet, clothes and horse, bis- cuit wud cratkers, baby carriages, boots and shoes, billiard tables, brads and tacks, bells for churches, better in earthen pots, clocks all st les and grades, bitumivous cual, carriages, buggies, Victoras and Phetons, cutlery of all kiuds, chairs and rockers, canned yoods, (vysters in particular,) cor:ugated iron, cotton yoods, prints, sheetinys, sbirtings, woollen fibrics, chemicals, (general and photographic, ) drugs (prepared), ground and fluid extracts (drugyists’), glassware, drills for mining and blasuag, dental instruments and supplies, electrical apparatus, fire proof and burglar safes, fire extinguishers, re engines, hand and steam; fariuaceous preparat.ous, furni- ture, (every slescription, specially scho»l;) fish, salted, smoked, dried: gas fixtures, guns and pistols, gun powder, a in bajes, harness, horses, (scylish, for family ;) carriages, horse cars, ptiutieg and writing ink, kuitting ma- chines, kerosene oil in cans,and lamps; leather and morocco; lumber, every description of pine, also spruce and hardwood; lard in earthen jars, and cans, locomotive engines, machiuvery of all descriptions, mechinery and lubricating oils, nails of all kinds, patent medicines, piavos and organs, pails, (wouden aud paper;) paints, dry and mix-d; paper for prinumg, wruing and wrapping, paper bags, printing presses, po atoes, railway cars and supplies, sewing machines, saws, straight and circular, saddlery hardware, starch, cooking stoves, shouks and headings, steam pumps, refined sugar, surgical instruments, family soap, wooden tubs, tools, hand and machine,
jall Kinds; type, wagons for farming, wind | mills, washing machines, woodenware, &c.
Agent-general Wood, the commiss‘oner to Australia, forcibly complains of the want of support his mission received from the Canadian nanufasturers—stating he was promised two hundred samples, and only thirty were for- warded, two-thirds of which found sale, and
in some cases will lead to extensive orders, atid he foynd it almost impogsible to intro- duce Canadian goods without samples or drawings. If Mr. Wood can testify to that. degree of success in a far off and very wealthy and sister colony, with a rapidly growing manufacturing genius, may we not expect a mech greater success in the Argentine Ke- public, with its marvellous development and witheut manufacturing possibilities. It is true we will have to meet British, American and Continental manufacturers in a fair field, and may meet with many disappointments; but the perseverance, determination and genius of the Canadian people will, in time, enable us to hold our owu in a fair field against the world.
All who intend making shipments will please comr unicate at once with George Robertsoa & Co., St. John, acting agents, stating the character and quantity cf the products or manufactures Lhe government railways will carry all such goods at special rates of freight, aud will co-operate with other railways. he agents of the association will cheerfully fur- nish all information, and shipments here in St. John will be attended to free of charge.
We remain, Yours faithfully, GrorGe Rosertson & Co., Acting Agents for the Forwarding and Trade Promoting Association.
