Ar a meeting of the St. John, N. B, Board of Trade, held on Thursday afternoon last, the question of freights came up, and James Kobertson complained abont the way St. John merchants were treated in the shipment of freight, particularly to P.

St. John merchants were handicapped by having their goods delayed in shipment.

It has been a sustained and constantly increasing ¢cemand. The unsurpassed quality of the tobacco

Tux football match played at Victoria Park on Saturday between fifteens from St. Dunstan’s and Prince of Wales’ Colleges, was wou by the latter by furteea points after a very « xcitiug but orderly contess. The play of St, Dunstan's forwards was very good, but their backs could not match the Prince of Wales’ backs. The style of play of Mr. Percy Macdoasid, the P. of W. Captain, and of Messrs. Macaulay and Hogan, the St. Duustan’s quarters, was well worth studying. Altogether 1¢ wasa very good match.

Yesterpay afternoon a number of per- sons proceeded in row boats to the scene of the late drowning accident at the harbours mouth, with the in- tention of grappling for the bodies of Michyel Dooley and Francis Coyle. They were follow- ed soon after by Mr. Gardiner’s steam launch, Lansdowne, and Messrs. Batt’s tug, the Frank ©. Batt. both of which rendered good servicsin towing, the F. ©. Batt remaining out all evening and towing the boats into the wharf at the close of cperations, The search, we regret to say, was unsuccessful. The water was very rough rendering it difficult to geapple, Many thenks are dne to Messrs. Batt and Gardiner, and to those who took part in the search, and also to Mr. McLaine, ef the Block House, who located and buoyed the place where the boat upset. Whenever the weather is suitable, another effort will be made to recover the bodies.

Ix mentioning the preseatation of prizes to the Artillery, in our issue of Saturday, we made an error which we now wish to ovrrect.

‘I deny,” says Sir Lyon Playfair, ‘‘that utilitarianism as an aim in education is ignoble.” Few wiil dispute the propos. tion. But what is ctilitarianis? It is the system which recognizes practical utility as the highest end to be sought. To this theory, too, most thoughtful per- sons will assent. But what is practical utility ? Is not that system most truly and most practically utilitarian which aims at producing the highest character? To strive to make a man or a woman of the highest type in mind, manners, and above all, in morala, is sure'y to aim at » higher

°

utility than that which has reference solely to what is called ‘getting on in the world.”
