AmonGst other symptoms of reviving prosperity we are glad to be able to chron- icle the fact that the proprietors of the Allan line of steamships are about to add new vessels to their already splendid fleet.

In the last Argus the following announce- ment was made ;

Presentation Second Methodist Church Sabbath School, Charlottetown.— On Sab- bath afternoon last, Judge Young was presented by Mr. Herbert Hewson, on be- half of the class, with a well-bound family reference Bible, and an arm-chair and table—the last two articles to be used in the class. In accepting the present, the Judge said that the class was commenced seven years ago, with six scholars, and only one still remained. During its existence hundreds had passed through it. Mr. Towan and he were the only two teachers who had maintained their connection with the school since its commencement.

The person who kindly communicated this pleasing event, misunderstood the Judge in his acknowledgment of these handsome gifts. He said that only one member now remained in the class, that was commenced in the Free Church seven years ago, and that Mrs. Towan and he were the only two teachers present who had classes when the school was organized. The school had now 4 officers, 15 teachers, and 960 scholars on the roll. Judge Young's class of young men numbers about 30.—Pat- riot,
