The, Present State of _Affairs in Prince Edward

I _ Railways

__ _

The oldest residents of the province

now adiuit that the present winter is the quot severe in their recollectou. ' As it is

~~ with us so it is with the other Provinces

and many parts of Nova Scotia especially have reached ii. condition which must he viewed with alarm by the residents. Prince Edward island is now entering

upon tho twentieth day of the snow blockade on'tlie railway line and during that time only tivo trnins have been able to make ii through trip from Sunimersiilc to Chiirlottetow ii. On Thursday last it foreign [mall was

taken to the Island by the Cape and it was not till Eiiturday afternoon that it reiwheii Charlottetown, having been three

days in trnnsi_t over thirty in_iles. \ Now the ice boats ure tied up and it will lieiinpossihlc to make iicrossing at the' Capes tilla heavy wind relieves the lolly that is now filling the Straits.

'l‘he winter 'stcnmern are new on the

thirty fourth day of the blockade.

'l`hcro ure Sections of the province that have only received two or three mails' within the past month and they are by no ineains the most remote sections. The ootmtry roads are reported` in a _

possibility.

l'n Nova Scotia and Cape Breton the

situation is still more serious for the unusual isolation has left many towns n dire straits. Storms and lack of pro- vision iind of (ucl are told of, and in`one town in Cape Breton the clcctricliglits had to he shut ofl because no conlconld be procu veil. The \‘uil\\'ays there have suffered even

more severely that in l’. E, I. The thaws have made the snow plough useless and nothing hut the shovel and pick-or the spring suii-can iiviiil,

Iiiiilwuys hiivc been closer] for the time

and even thc directors of the N. B. & P. E, I. Line have iicciilcd lu abandon all work till more fiivoriihle weather comes. Thus our mail service by team and the present- only piisscnger route ‘will he pm- lonired for an indeilnite time. °

nliiiirs is to some extent indicated by thc following despatch: ,

through to Halifax on Thursday, other- wise there would probably have been a ment famine at the weelfs end. Hali- gonians are great beef eaters nnii the con- sumption, according to population, is very heavy. 'So far'-the butchers have not made any advance ln the price. Flour yesterday advanced Rc per barrel. The I butter market/is ina ilut_ter, and only a limited quantity isgcomlngl to the city. First class stock jumped iivc cents per Dounil within ‘a week; andthe prospects are, there will still be ii further advance. _ Eggs are selling at 40 to 45 cents u dozen.
