Speaking at the Glasnevin Model, School, last week, on the oceasion of the! presentation of prizes to the dairy pupils there, Karl Spencer, Lord-Lieutenant of | Ireland, said: ~I am not going to detain |

you with a Jong speech, but I wish to} say a word on the subject of these dairy | scheols. 1 had the advantage, when I) was in the south of Irelaud Jast summer, of seeing the work that was done at the Munster dairy school. The Munster school was, I believe, principally due for its success to Mr. Carroll, who organized it in the first instance. Great thanks are due to the gentlemen in that district for the support they gave to that school. From what I saw there the great advan- tage this school must be to those who get the benefit of it is not only to the individual farmer in the increased value of his stock, but from words which I heard from an intelligent girt, and which Mr. Carroll has quoted. She told us, in reply to a question as to what benefit her father had derived from the instructions she had received—she told us that on a not large farm she considered ler father had increased his income by £50 from the knowledge that she had gained io ‘the school. I, therefore, knowing this, was very glad to support with the ‘Treasury the application of the Com- 'missiovers of National Education for the formation of this school in Dublin, I ‘am glad that we succeeded. The ‘Royal Dublin Society has most heartily ‘supported it, and their support has been, and will be, most valuable to the school. |The importance of this question may be illustrated at this moment by the inquiry “now going on, and which we see reported \in the daily papers. You may have noticed that Lord Fitzgerald, one of the ‘most distinguiehed judges in this country, now in the House of Lords, came over on purpose to arbitrate on some very ‘difficult matters in dispute with regard to the Cork butter market. The Cork butter market is ene of the largest institutions in this country. It regulates one of the most important trades all over ‘the country, and as there have been Various disputes in the matter, Lord Fitzgerald very kindly came over here to ‘settle these disputes. From this you ‘may see how important the subject is considered in Ireland. It ig the excel- ‘lence aud quality of the butter which is , Seut out of this country on which depends ,the success of the trade in this important industry in the country. And unless jyou compete with other countriea— \with France, Denmark, and Sweden— you will not be able to hold your own. |Now, | believe schools like this ‘will help this important industry, 80 as ‘to enable you to hold your own against the butter of all nations. I was glad to ‘hear from Mr. Carroll the excellent account of those who have taken part in these schools. Not only have we heard ‘what we should have expected—that their conduct was admirable—but I was also glad to hear of the extreme intelli- ‘gence they showed, and the extreme desire to acquire knowledge. They will now go home, and, I kope, be much benefited by what they have learned, ‘They will, I trust, stimulate others in ‘their neighborhood to follow their ex- ‘ample, and when the future class comes ‘there will be fresh pupils to benefit by ‘the instruction and education to be bad here. I wish all those who have taken part in this school suecess in their future careers; and, in conclusion, I would thank the Commissioners of National Education, aud all those who have taken part in this work, for the efforts they have made to secure this admirable result.

A Gallant Rescue.

THE BARK ANTWERP SAVES THE LIVES OF FORTY-FIVE PERSON.—PARTICULARS OF THE BRAVE DEED.

i

| igs | The bark “Antwerp,” Capt. Humph- reys, arrived here from Londonderry yesterday, having been out eighty-two days. She sailed on the first of January and had a good passage until the 13th February, when the crew, numbering forty-six persons,of the steamer ‘‘Cubano” which was abandoned in a sinking con- ‘dition, were rescued. The “Cubano” ‘was a fine iron steamship belonging to Bilboa, Spain, and was bound with a cargo of cotton from New Orleans for Liverpool. [She visited this port last spring and while there was much admired, being a splendidly constructed and a well equipped steamer.} The steamer was abandoned in thirty-seven west lon., forty-six north Jat. This is probably the largest number of men ever rescued by a St. John vessel, and Capt. Humphreys will undoubtedly be rewarded for his gal- lant conduct.

Following is the story told by Capt. Humphreys to a Sun reporter last even- ing :—-The steamer was sighted at ten o'clock on the morning of the 13th. She was showing signals of distress, and I bore down for her. When we neared

VOL. 14--NO. 110.

A fearful storm prevailed at the time aud it was diffi- cult to discern any medium-size object at a distance of 100 feet. It was enowing, and there would be ap occasional fall of hailstones. When I saw in what a con- dition the crew of the steamer were, I determined to lay by her and, if possible, rescue the crew. The sea was running so bigh that it would have been folly to have launched a boat, but later on the mate of the Cubano and eleven of tho crew put off in a life boat. “These men hada terrible experience. Sometimes their boat would be lifted up so high that we feared they would be washed on board our vessel. Seas were breeking over both vessels at the time. Finally after much trouble they succeeded in reaching the bark, but before we were able to hoist the life boat on board she was dashed to pieces. Having seen the trouble those menu had in reaching us the remainder of the steamer’s crew concluded to remain where they were during the night, as the storm had not abated. On the following morning two of the steamer’s crew launched a small boat and struck out for the bark. The captain, who belived the steamer was sinking, jumped overboard with the intention of swimming for the wreck, but was picked up_by these men, and the three were brought ou board our vessel. Their boat was aleo demolished. The remainder of her crew were then obliged to remain on the steamer as there was uo other boat, the others having been smashed before we sighted her. 1 did not dare attempt to rescue the men as the storm wasso severe. I remained close to her during the next night and the following day the weather was too bad for the small boat. On the fourth day it was not so rough and my mate, Wm. Rad- ford, and three men launched one large boat and went to the steamer. It was a difficult undertaking, but my men were determined to put forth every effort and they eventually succeeded in rescuing the remainder of the unfortunate men, 30 in number. At that time there were 24 feet of water inthe steamer and she was sinking rapidly and probably sunk soon alter we left her. The men were almost frozen, having been exposed to the storm for nearly a week. I did everything in my power to make them comfortable for none of them saved any- thing except the clothes they wore. They warmed themselves, and we gave them as good a meal as circumstances would permit. The captain of the “Cubano” stated that the disaster was caused by the ballast tank bursting and the water extinguishing the fires. The pumps were worked, but there was a hole in the steamer and the water gained rapidly. Then they commenced bailing the water out with pails. Oue of the crew, who believed she was sinking, had jumped overboard before we came in sight of her. I landed the crew of the wrecked steamer at St. Michael's, the largest of the Azore Islands, which was reached on the 19th of February. They blessed us for what we had dove and appeared very gratified for the services we had rendered them. On the 21st we sailed for this port and had a fair passage. A batch of icebergs was encountered on the southern barnks.—St. John Sun, 23rd.

Sabbath Obeervance.

An appeal to which all the leading clergymen of Montreal have appended their signature, ge been issued to the citizens of Montreal and the Dominion

of Canada upon the question of Sabbath’

observance. The cirevlar sets forth that the views of the subscribers thereto are as tollows:—“While in sympathy with the progressive spirit of the age, acknow- ledging the claims of commercial enter- prise and modern civilization, we are convinced by the testimony of those who have studied the whole labor question with great care, that the result of six days of work and one of rest is more satisfactory to all concerned than a con- tinuous, unbroken strain of both physical and mental faculties. We would wish to secure for all,as far as it may be possible, one day out of seven in the which those now workiog shall not be called upon to persue their usual avocation, and we eaffiestly and respectfully suggest to all employers of labor that they cause a com- olete cessation of all unnecessary work now carried on upon the Sabbath. We regret to see increasing evidence of the secularization of the Lord’s Day by street and other railways, ferry boats, ete. We would hail with delght any action that would lighten the labors of the work- ing classes, and believe that were em- ployes given Saturday afternoon for recreation, quite as much work would be done in working hours, and quite as mach financial suecess be achieved by their employess. We seek to arouse public sentiment amongst all ranks of society to the unwisdom of the seventh day being made as the other six, unwise on spiritual, moral, physical, and ultimately, financial grounds. Werpray you to dis- countenance all that shal] unnecessarily disturb the peace of the Sabbath and pander to the restless element that
