The Hanovarian Wrecked.

; ' Sr. Jonny's, Sept. 4. Particulars of the wreck of the Allan | Line steamer Hanovarian have just been /received. They are as follows:—During | Me nday and Tuesday the weather was foggy, and Tuesday night was worse. At | daylight Wednesday morning, the captain /saw net buoys off Cape Pine, but thought the ship was off Cape Race, and changed | his course for St. John’s. Shortly after he sawa fishing boat. It was very foggy at the lime, and the wind was north-east, Soundings at 9 30 showed eighteen fathoms of water. Immediately after a passenger saw a house off Portugal Cove, Trepassey | Bay. The engines were immediately re- /versed, but it was too late. The ship struck nearly 400 yards from the shore. Boats were speedlylowered The passengers behaved well, and all landed safely with the mails. The shore people saw the s.eamer a mile off before she struck and went in boats to assist the passengers, who | Were soon comfortably housed on shore. A }portion of the luggage was saved, the balance with the cargo is under water, which is now over the saloon decks. The vessel is a total wreck in thirty feet of water and is breaking up fast. H. M. § | Tenados is at the scene of the wreck. She | will bring the passengers to St. John’s.

The Temperance Centennial.

No person can deny, says the Toronto Globe, but that the temperance movement is one Of the most important now in exist- ence forthe moral elevation of the race. There may be a difference of opinion in respect to the working of some of the tem- perance organizations, but all are willing to acknowledge the utility of temperance, and all rejoice when druvkards are re- claimed. Everybody, including brewers and distillers, as well as wholesale and retail merchants, denounce drunkenness.

The civilized world owes a debt of grati- tude tothe temperance men of the nine- teenth century for the fidelity and earnest- ness with which they have unflinchingly advocated their principles in the face of the most formidable opposition, until now tem- perance under its various designations has become such a power that no one can afford to ignore it or treat it with contempt.

This is the centennial year of temper- ance. One hundred years have rolled away since Dr. Benjamin Rush, of Philadelphia, published his famous treatise on ‘‘the effects of ardent spirits on the human sys. tem.” This little tractate, we are told, produced a wonderful commotion, and was published and republished in Europe and America. In 1811, Dr. Rush presented one thousand copies of his essay to the Presby- terian General Assembly. different denominations afterwards preach- ed and published sermons on the same sub- ject. Itis claimed that the first Tempei- ance Society was organized in Massachuset s in 1813, by Dr. Rush and others. In 1833 this Society took a more nationsl form, and was known as the American Scciety tor the promotion of ‘Temperance.

Some of the mors active labourers in the temperance cause have thought well to take advantage of this centennial year of tem- perance by holding a series of meetings in its celebration. Accordingly the ‘National Temperance Society,” whose headquarters is in New York, has issued a circular re- commending that on Sunday, September 20th, sermons shall be preached every- where, and celeb:ations held in connection with the Sunday schools, and that public meetings also be held on Monday evening, 21st. Then on Wednesday and Thursday of the same week a grand Centennial Tem- perance Conference will be held in Phila- delphia, when various papers on the several phases of temperance will be presented. [t is expected that the gathering will be the most important that has ever been held in connection with temperance.
