LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

The Weather.
Sir,—This is an unusual winter. Many comments are made, and many opinions are expressed about it. The-questions ‘Did you ever see the like? ‘This beats all! &., are asked. I will give your many realers a list of a few winters, nearly as «unusual as this.
In 1865 and ’66 the harbor did not close until the 80th of December. The brig Daniel Brenan was towed out to Point Prim on the 27th of that month in open water, and there was no ice in the Straits.
In 1870 the Princess of Wales came from Georgetown to Charlottetown via Pictou, on the 9th day of January, in clear water, and left for Pictou again on the llth, but met with heavy ice between Government and St. Peter's Islands, and therefore had to put baek. On the second Sunday of February there was no safe crossing on any one of the rivers of the harbor.
In 1878 or 79 the Rocky Point ferry boat sailed from wharf to wharf on New Year's Day in open water.
In 1882 the Southport ferry boat Elfin was running on New Year’s Day.
These are the few unusual winters which are in the remembrance of

seat of the disturbance. Another iversion is to the effect that the i Revoluconists have obtained complete
possession of a number of French posts,and murdered the garrison. It is suspected | that Chinese intrigues are at the bottom of the uprising, and a general massacre of the lrench at military posts is feared. The King has telovraphed that he his powerless ta resist the revolationists and a large force of French troops has been ordered in readi- ness to proceed from Saigon to aid the King.

A Millionaire’s Peculiar Will. | —— The late George Gardner, of Boston and | Beverly, a recently deceased millionaire, left a peculiar will, which was filed on the 9th inst. There are no public bequests, but the buik of his property is left in the hands of trustees. They are directed to pay to his wife each year 1,161 Troy ounces of pure gold, and in addition, If she wants it, $10,000 cash. itis said that when this ‘will was made this quantity of gold re- |presented his wife’s exact weight, which | was between 90 and 100 pounds, avoirdu- 'pois. The will further specifies that the | trusteea ‘‘shall, if she from time to time so | direct, deliver to her said pure gold de-} based by alloy, estimating such alloyed | jyold at the weight, said Troy weight, of |pure gold it may from time to time con- ‘toin.” The remainder of the income of | the estate is to be divided among his rela- } tions.

Railway Debentures.
The old Nova Scotia railway debentures for $1,250,000 were ready to be paid off at Dominion Savings Bank agencies in Halifax and elsewhere in Nova Scotia, on 1st inst., but the great portion of them siill remains uncalled for, although interest has ceased. Some have taken their money and others had it transferred to a 4 per cent. loan pay- ing 24 per cent. premium therefor. The difference will be seen when itis shown that an income of $1,200 a year from pre- vious investment (6 per cent.) would be redaced to $800, and the premiums have to be paid out of that. The original loan was taken up in sums as high as $100,000 by the Collins, Cogswell and other estates at the time.
ReFerriInG to the Amherst Boot & Shoe Company, the Gazette says: “Orders taken for goods are now nccessarily limited to the ' production «f ‘he 108 hinds at present em- ployed, this |, ing up to the{fall capacity of ithe build».
