It is, perhaps, too soon to speculate on the growing crops; but, if the fruit is in accordance with the promise, it will be a very fine one. Taking everything into consideration, we can see no reason why our banks should not trust and accommo- date the people to a greater extent than they are now doing. They are establish- ed and are maintained, not to desert our dealers in a “tight time,” but afford relief to men who are dealing on a solid basis. The sdoption of a reckless poliey would, of course, endanger their stability and do away with their usefulness. But, in the present circumstances of the country, we feel econvineed thatthey would be justified in discounting good paper. ~<ee

The rate of' in- surance in ( ha:lottetowm averages about 2' per cent. Any way, the risk of fire may at present ‘airly be estimated at that rate. Supposing all the property insured, the amount paid annually by the city for insurance premiums would be about $7.- 500. Now, if a plentiful supply of water were introduced, the risk on account of fire would be lessened at least a half, and rates of insurance would probably go down to 1} per cent.on the average. Thus $3,750 a year would be saved for all time. This amount, at 6 per cent., represents a capital of $60,000—-which would go a ee towards paying for the water-

the list of studie.s This branch is of very great importance,where mining and the cons

it is natural, that our young men should

desire to take part in the great works |

which are continually going on around them. In divinity,

the proportion of students is about half—sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less. These}

Provinces should be able to supply their own ministers in the Church, and King’s College affords special advantages for ob. taining the necessary learning.

King’s College has also peculiar attrac- tions to all students of small means. Some twenty years ago, a large sum of money, in subscriptions of $490 each was raised, by means of which about eighty scholarships were founded. These are right to send a student to the College. Some five or six are held in Charlottetown.

ten in number—£30 sterling per annum, which very nearly pay the cost of living. Then, yearly, there are three prizes of $60 scholarship of $80 a year, to be held the William Cogswell Scholarship, of £24 sterling per annum—open only to divinity students; the Welsford prize of $24, and the Binney testimonial—given by the Bishop to students of good character. In fact, a student of ability and industry, may live at the College and receive his education free. But of this very desirable state of things little or nothing appears to be known. With reference to living in the College, it would be much more ad- visable for a student to come and take up his residence there. Students were, of course, without the restraints of the family ; but as a gradual introduction to the inde~ pendence of manhood, living at College was beneficial It is hoped that the effort now being made to awaken an inter» est in the College, will be successful. The number of students in attendance hitherto has not been as large as it might be; and it is desirable to raise the number. To attain this object, it is only necessary that the great and peculiar advantages, held out by King’s College, be better known ; and that parents, and others who have students at the College, should take an active interest in the institution,

The Rev. Geo. W. Hodgson said that having attended King’s College for eight or ten years, he was able to testify that Mr. Hensley had in no way exaggerated the ad-~ vantages of the institution. It might be well for members of other denominations to know that the privileges of the College are open to allalike, There is no inter- ference with the religious opinions of stu- dents ; every one is allowed to attend his own place of worship. ‘The prizes and scholarships annually awarded at the Col- lege amount in the aggregate to about six hundred dollars. There now in College a young man, who, by works ing hardand gaining prizes, gets a hundred doilars a year over his expenses. It is a mistake to suppose that only those who in. tend to enter a profession should attend College. There are advantages in educas tion which money does not represent. There is pleasure and entertainment and satisfaction in learning — continuing throughout life—which no amount of money can give. Why should not men of every occupation be well educated? It is said there is not time. But if we compare the progress of the educated man with that of the uneducated, in any calling, we shall find that the former, by means of his greater knowledge and more enlarged mind, soon outstrips the latter ; and that the time spent by the former in College, is time well spent. Take two boys of equalcapacity. Send one to College for three years and the other to his trade or calling whatever it may be. Mark their success in life ; and you will find that at the end of ten years, the one who was sent to College will be far ahead of the one who was sept to work; while he will at the same time have that within him which he could not buy for any consideration. Mr. Hodgson here enumerated a number of graduates of King’s College, who had dis» tinguished themselves in after life. The late Bishop of Aberdeen was a member of King’s College, Judges Bliss and Wilkins, of Nova Scotia, the Chief Justice of Gibral- ter, the late Chief Justice of New Bruns- wick, many of the leading members of the Nova Scotia and New l’runswick Bar were graduates of King’s College, Windsor.

A SPLINTER FROM A STAR,

When picked up it was found to be uncomfortably warm for the hand, and all the circumstances combined led irresistibly to the conclusion that this little body is «a fragment o! a larger one, which was a meteor or :erolite, The sides of the fragment have the appears ance of having been split from another body, and present lo.gitudinal strata in di- rection of the fracture. The ends seem to have been equally broken off somewhat like the fracture made by the breaking of this little piece fell at about three o’clock in the after. noon, when the sun was shining ina clear sky, and no doubt the greater body burst in the extreme upper regions of the atmo- sphere in the full blaze of the sunlight and so escaped observation.

A moment’s inspection of this fragment is sufficient to show that it closely resembles, in every respect, the zrolites known to have fallen in many parts of the world. and that are treasured great curiosities in many museums; the more so as the substance of which it is composed resembles, in its chemical combinations, no mineral of terrestrial origin. Wherever these bodies or fragments are found, they must be instantly recognized by this pecu. liarity ; their substance being known as meteoric iron. A body of this kind was found in South America that is estimated to weigh 30,000 pounds; another in the Yale College cabinet, which was found in the Red River country, weighs 1,635 pounds.
