Rolleston was searching Masa Fuero.

The coaster whe brought it ashore had been in, company, at Valparaiso, with a whaler from Nantucket, who told him he had fallen in with a Dutch whaler out at sea, and distressed for water; he had sup- plied the said Dutchman, who had thanked him, and given him a runlet of Hollands, and had told him in_ conversation that he had -seen land and a river reflected on the sky, in waters where no land was marked in the chart, namely : somewhere between Juan Fernan- dez and Northfolk Island; and that, believ- ing this to be the reflection of a part of some island near at hand, and his water being low, though not at that time run out, he had gone considerably out of his course in the hope of finding this watered ieland, but could see nothing of it. Neverthe- iess, as his grandfather, who had been sixty years at sea, and logged many wonderful things, had told him the sky had been

‘My man,’ said the captain, ‘1 wamt you to answer a question. Do you believe land and ships have ever been seen in the sky reflected?’

‘A many good seaman helds to that, sir,’ said the sailor, cautiously.

‘Is it the general opinion of seamen be- fore the mast? Come tell ns. Jack’a as good as his master in these matters.’

‘Couldn’t say for boys and lubbers, sir. But I never meta full grown searman as denied that there. Sartainly few has seen it; but all of ’em has seen them as has seen it; ships, and land, too; but mostly ships. Hows’ever, I had a messmate once as was sailing past a rock they call Alisa Craig, and saw a regiment of soldiers march- ing in the sky. Logged it, did the mate; and them soldiers was a marching between two towns in Ireland at that very time.’

Items from Souris.

King’s County now claims the test Church bell on the Island, and East Point is the happy possessor. The celebrated McShane Foundry Co., of Baltimore, are the manufacturers. Bell and yoke weigh 1,340 Ibe. It has a fine, full, far-reaching tone. The venerable ana beloved Father Dan, of Georgetown, olficiated at the ceremony of naming and blessing, calkd it after St. Columba, Patron of the Church. Du:ing his sermon the Reverend Doctor gave a history of the life and labors of St. Culumba at Iona, making reference to his own personal visit to the place. He spoke to the necessity of earnest christian life and duty, and the practice of ail true virtue and faith, calling attention to to the many noble, Godlike qualities set forth in the teachings and life of the Patron Saint of their Church, who was a true devoted servant of God. The sound of the bell, they had just consecrated and called after St. Columba, should always remind them of the voice (as it were) of the Saint and his good life, while it called them together to take part in the holy mysterive of religion and the exercise of true faith.

New Year taw the Stations of the Cross blessed and erected in the same Church. The stations were made in New York, they add much to the adornment of the church, are very much admired by connoisseurs, and pronounced by some to be the best on the Island. At this ceremony Father Mc- Donald again preached an earnest and im- pressive sermon, setting forth in his dis- course all the various characteristics of the Saviour’s life from the manger to the tomb, and explaining the lessons taught by the Stations just erected. It was the tale of the undying love of the world’s great re- deemer told over again, and ever remaining in the living voice of consccrated art ; and the story was repeated from a faithful heart by the earnest tongue and lips of the good old Priest, whose words and deeds will live when he himself enjoys heaven's eternal companionship with ithe High Priest above. It is twenty-two years since Father Dan was Pastor of East Point Church, a position which he had occupied for ten years. . His late visit revealed to him many changer. Many of his old friends had changed time for eternity, casting their let in with those whom God beckons to rest, and, many new faces greeted him, full of youth and vigor, ready to do battle with time, and sustain the fight till ‘‘the reaper” comes. May the church bell ring on with hallowed tone, and ever sound its cherished call to prayer; and may all who hear it ever re- member that the story which ‘‘the stations” tell, is told for all, both priests and people of all the world, of every land and every creed, (It is as Catholic as God's love.

Temperance is making some progress in Souris. Visitors notice the suber change. On last Wednesday and Saturday the Committee of the local branch of the Dominion Temperance Alliance, held im- portant meetings, at which they adopted resolutions which will still further strength- en the cause here. A pleasing feature of the movement is that some who held aloof, or remained neutral formerly, have now joined in the work ‘‘heart, pocket, and hand.”

Hickman Lodge, No. 6, I. O. G. T., is also doing good work in the cause of tem- perance. In Souris there are special diffi- culties to contend with. The Lodge here cannot show the same increase in numbers as some other Lodges in other districts, but still it is progressing, and every now and then receives fresh members. The menmibers have decided to hold a public entertainment, and are preparing to give it some time next month.

So far travelling by rail is good. The trairs keep good time, ard a trip to Charlottetown from east to west brings some enjoyment with it. By those who know, the road is pronounced ir goed con- dition, everything that possibly can be done is accomplished for the convenience of pas- sengers, and we certainly have an obliging and gentlemanly staff of Conductors. It is areal pleasure to go in with Hibbitt or McKie, not forgetting our own special, Conductor Scott.
