‘CETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Trade with the West Indies.
Str,—Ina reference to better markets for
| Island produce and modern facilities for
reaching new markets, as a general reply to enquiries about the probable result of the application made to the Dominion Govern- ment for a subsidy to run a line of steam- ships between ports in the Lower Provinces and the West Indies, 1 beg to say thai the matter is under the serious consider- ation of the Dominion Government. Sir Charles Tupper bas been instructed after conference with the Imperial Government to proceed to Madrid, and if possible, make a trade arrangement with the Spanish Gov-
ernment. Should a_ satisfactory bar- gain be concluded, I have been assured on the highest authority that the
subsidizing of steamship lines will imme- diately follow. The advantages to this Province of direct steam communication with the West Indies are too apparent to require any laboured argument. The Island of Cuba alone imports annually from the United S’ates 400,000 bushels of pota- toes, at an average cost of $1 per bushel, 40,000 head of small cattle, $40,000 worth of bay, several thousand sheep, a great many tons of butter, a similar quantity of cheese, hundreds of thousands of bushels of oats, tens of thousands of dozens of eggs, tons of fish (fresh, dried and salted.) In fact, of the $12,700,000 in value of imports into Cuba from the United States for the years 1880-81, a large part was agricultural products, similar to those grown on this Jsland. Far the largest part of this vast export was shipped by steamers from New York. It will require a larger subsidy to have steamers come direct to our and other gulf ports, than if sailing direct from the Atlantic sea board of Nova Scotia or ports in the Bay of Fundy, and it is for the farmers and merchants of this
; County to judge as to what effect the elec-
tion of an Opposition representative would have when the question of aceording ex- ceptional advantages to this Island is pressed on the attention of the Govern- ment, [I hold that the first step towards improvement in trade hero is the obtaining of better prices for farm produce, as with potatoes at sixteen cents—and a drug at that—and oats thirty-two cents per bushel, there is but little inducement for the farmer’s son to stay at home. Yours respectfully, H. Coomes.
The Earthquake in New York.
Late exchanges bring accounts of the shock of earthquake experienced in New York on the afternoon of the 10th, at 2 o'clock. It lasted 10 or 12 seconds and was accompanied by subterranean rumb- lings which were clearly audible. The earth's motion was a quick trembling movement without any lateral vibration, though some people in various locali- ties seem to think they felt uundulations. In New York city the motion was appar- ently most violent in the northern district toward Harlem. The people almost every- where differ widely as to the duration of the shock, some estimating it at 10 seconds and others at two minutes. The most re- liable opinions doubtless are those which place it at 10 or 15 seconds. Its effects varied greatly.
EVERY HOUSE IN THE CITY TREMBLED.
Chinaware setting edgewise on shelves slip- ped out of place, chandeliers and pictures trembled, bells were rung and glass pen- dants were jingled. People started from the chairs where they were seated and ran excitedly into the streets, and in several instances walls and ceilings were cracked. The residences of Harlem were thrown into a state of intense excitement in con- sequence of the shock. It was feit mainly between 125th and 152nd streets, Third and Eighth avenues. In that section it was so great that men, women and children
RUSHED PELL MELL AND SCREAMING from their homes, coatless, hatless and shovless, fearing that the walls would fall upon them. All of the streets were liter- ally swarmed with an excited multitude. East and West 126th street police stations were quickly crowded with anxious people, but they gained no information further than that the policemen were just as badly shaken up. Numerous were the explan- ations given by
THE EXCITED PEOPLE.
The west side of the city in the vicinity of Christopher and Hudson streets felt the shock severely. The people rushed excit- edly from their houses and sought the most open parts of the streets. Many ran all the way down to the wide unoccupied ground along the North River front and only ventured back to their homes when hours had passed without any damage being done. Probably the greatest excitement was occasioned at 28 and 29 Frankfort street, in two tenement houses thickly populated. When THE RUMBLING NOISE WAS HEARD,
the utmost excitement prevailed, and the
ts height. The streets were swarming with people, men, women and children huddled together lke sheep. Many of them expecting every moment to see the walls of
THEIR DWELLINGS FALL UPON THEM,
Women and children were shrieking and the men swearing or praying. This was kept up for nearly half an hour when the commotion finally subsided and the police persuaded the people to return to their houses. Similar scenes were witnessed in Mulberry, Jersey and Motz streets, where the Italians have their colonies. The fright, however, was not so intense and after a little while their loud shouts and wild gesticulation ceased.
The disturbance was generally felt, with more or less severity, in many towns in the circuit of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Deleware, Massachusetts (inelu- ding Boston) and Vermont, but reports do not indicate that any serious damage has been done.
CURRENT NOTES.
English cholera is spreading.
A repeal vote on the Scott Act, will be t#ken in Halton during September.
The five Peers who are members of the
English Royal family, never vote on politi- cal questions.
Gen Grant will receive $10,000 for the twenty articles on his battles to be publish- ed in the Century.
The negotiations between England and Mexico for a new treaty of commerce will shortly be resumed.
The sum of $2,.500,000,000 is required to furnish the British people with the common articles of food and drink for a year.
The Montreal Gazette says *‘the certainty of a substantial improvement in the busi- ness of the country during the ensuing year is no longer denied.
Henry Ward Beecher, who built the house on his Peekskill farm, out of the pro- fits of lecturing, calls it his air castle, be-
cause ‘tit was built from wind.”’
Mary Fourton, the year old daughter of Coun. Carson, while playing near a new swing bridge, Napanee, Ont., slipped into the water. She was drowned in the pre- sence of her agonized father who did not know how to swim,
Austria has just held a nose fair, with prizes for the most extraordinary nasal ar- rangement, size, form, and color consider- ed. The highest honor went to a Vienna man who showed an article of gigantic size, color a deep violet blue.
At the Union depot, Ottawa, on Satur- day morning, Joseph Goulet, aged 9, while engaged in leading from a car of lumber, was suddenly, through the shock of a shunting car striking that he was on thrown on the track and killed.
A cvlored child had a fall from a second- story window the other day, and his mother, in relating the incident at a groc- ery store, said :—‘‘Dere dat chile was a comin’ down feet fust, wid every chance of being killed, when the Lawd He turned him over, the child struck on his head, and there wasn’t so much as a button off.”
At Upper Chelsea, Quebec, a few miles from Ottawa, on Friday, Walter Chamber- lain quarrelled with Matthew Blair about a lot he wished to sell the latter. A_ fight occurred, during which Chamberlan stabbed Blair four times in the face, mostly about the eyes. Some of the wounds required several stitches, Blair is confined to his bed. Chamberlain escaped arrest.
D. Koch’s discovery of the cholera germ was anticipated thirty yeers ago by an Italian, Dr. Philippo Pacini, so says a Milan journal. Dr. Pacini wrote a treatise in 1854 in the Italian Medical Gazette, wherein he speaks of the cholera’s bein due to “a very simple organism, which shall call a choleratic microbe.” This article was translated into English in the report of the cholera epidemic of 1866, and has since been republished several times.
The Saskatchewan Hera/d gives a favor- able account of the effort made to induce the Indians in that locality to engage in civilized pursuits. Some of the Indian bands, especially those in the vicinity of mills, are already self-supporting. Moosmin and his band, who are farming, are able to sell a surplus of their products. Thun- der Child, who went on his reserve last spring, for the first time, now has a section of land, substantially fenced and between 80 and 100 acres under crop.
An inspired article has appeared in Lloyd's Weekly, the chief organ of the working classes, on the politics of the Prince of Wales. The writer says the
Prince of Wales has no belief in the policy \of the effacement of the empire, and will ‘not shrink, when necessary. from the ‘assertion or extension of imperial responsi- bility, though opposed to aggression; he is i therefore drawn to the radicals, who have | broken from the traditions of the Manches- ter peace party.

although it produced more alarm in the thickly settled tenement districts on the east side. The greatest excitement pre- vailed in Jewish and Bohemian quarters on the east side. The houses, . which are mostly high and lightly constructed tene-
