Tne Reduced Rainfall.

ae ot ie To the Le tor of tne Lxvanuiner. Sir, eperts trom various arts oO: the country agree as to the great and unasu 4) _ - 7 5 scarcity of water in the wells, swamps and

ponds. As some of your readers may like to know how the rainfall for the last few montas correspons with that of other years, J subjoin a few noies regarding it :

During the eight years from 1873 to 1880, both inclusive, the average rainfall for the three months, September, October and Novem- ber, amounts in the aggregate, to 10 371 inches ; the snowfali for the same months, 12-80 iaches, making a total precipitation equivalent to 11-629 inches ef rain. For the same months in @he present year, rainfa'l, 7-294 inclies; snowfall, 8-23 inches; total pre- cipitation, 5-1 i7 inches, or about 3 inehes less rain, 4} inches less snow, and 34 inches less recipitat ion than the average of eight’ years.

he largest precipitation fer the same three months during the same years was 15-330 inches in (877, and the smallest 8-117 inches inthe present year. Approaching the latter was the precipitation of 1876, $ $85 inches.

WHAT HAS BEEN DONE DURING THE YEAR.

—_——-

(From the Montreal Gazette).

Now that the last vessel has cleared, and navigation on the St. Lawrence has closed for at least another five months, we may begin to take stock of what has been done on this creat highway of commerce during the past season. Since the opening of navigation 710 sea-going vessels have ar- rived at this pert with cargoes of merchan- dise from all quarters of the globe, against 612 vessels during the season of 1879, showine an increase of 98 vessels. The number of lake and river craft arriving in port this season .was 6,487, against 5,698 last year, being an increase of 789. The shipments of grain, lumber, dairy produce and cattle all show a considerable increase upon those of 1879. Our export trade in apples has been the largest ever known, the shipments during the season having exceeded thoso of ‘last year by no less than 100,457 barrels, the total shipments amounting to 161,981 barrels, against 61,524 barrels in 187%. The sh pments of butter to Great Britain have also been large, amouting to 196,610

kgs., against 130,362 pks., and of cheese 541,366 boxes, against 180,962 boxes last year, which shows an increase of 15,648

kgs. of butter and 26,016 bexes of cheese. Duriug the past week the wholosale trade has shown signs of lapsing into its usual winter quietness, although in one or two branches evidences of improvement are visible. A steady trade transpires in dry goods, and the retail trade may be termed active. A decided improvement has taken placo in the iron market, and a larger business hias been done than for many weeks past, at an advance of fully $1 per ten. (Quite a ‘* boom” is on in manufac- tured fara, the demand for which is brisker than has been expericnced for many years. In other lines of the wholesale trade there

is little change.

eet ?¢ LP <> Better—or Worse ?

Tuers are four ‘‘ gloomy reflections” made in an article of the Methodist of last week which, the writer believes, show ten- dencies of a serious retrograde movement in the world. First the writer observes

that there is a neglect, but not an absolute «there was less of personal abuse and |

in the world until they learned it of Inger- soll. To multitudes in our cities Christian- ity is « perquisite of wealthy people, who own the marble, and stone, and brick edifices where Godis worshipped.” He finds also that picty has declined, because tem- perance, doctrine, philanthrophic re- forms and sorb every attention. He finds also that people are growing indifferent to the ob- servance of Sunday. Charles W. Super, Ph. D., in the Christian Advocate takes quite an opposite view. His article is en- titled ‘‘Is the World Growing Worse ?”

which he answers in the negative. Our) Increased facilities for learning news makes | daily crime better known than of old, and

we ara apt, he says, to regard it as on the increase, but that public morality is almost

infinitely higher than it was a few centur-_

ies avo. He cites the higher morality of European courts, the banishment of atro- cities from our wars of to-day and the in- creas» of epidemic diseases in proof of his

toits inhabitants. The Queen thoroughly enjoys the quiet and privacy of Balmoral at this season. Moreover,the extreme cold benefits both her health and her spirits; and but for the necessity of going through

Ministers and grandees prior to the anni- versary of December 14th, it is probable that the stay of the Court on Deeside would be protracted well into December.

The statement that the Queen contem- plates going on to Berlin in February, to attend the wedding of Prince William of Prussia, is incorrect, no such idea being at present entertained. Her Majesty is a rigid purist—as Prince Albert was— in matters of precedent and etiquette, and there isno precedent fora visit of the Sovereign toa foreign Court under such circumstances. Moreover, the (neen’s health is quite unequal to the fatigue and excitement of such elaborate and prolonged ceremonies as will attend this marriage. According to present arrangements, the } Prince and Princess of Wales and the Duke and Duchess of Connaught will represent the English Court on this occasion. The Prince and Princess of \ Wales are likely to be absent from England during the greater part of the month, as they will also attend the marriage of the Crown Prince Rudolph of Austria at Vienna, ten days before the Berlin ceremony.

The relations of the Queen with the Court of Berlin have not been quite cor- dial of late years. <A serious difference on a domestic point occurred between her Majesty and the Crown. Princess during the last visit of the latter to England, and the subsequent expedition of the Kmpress of Germany to Windsor was undertaken for the purpose of clearing up the misunder- standing, in which, however, the Empress was not very successful, and the ground of the dispute still exists. Now the Empress has taken offence at the encouragement given by her Majesty to the engagement of Prince William, the Empress considering the match as being altogether beneath his

his annual visit to his wife at Coblenz, is understood to have prevailed on her to abandon all further opposition to the mar- riage ; but this does not of course affect her Majesty’s feelings of resentment to- wards those who have brought it abeut. In addition to this, discontent has been ex- pressed at. the Court of Beriin that in these days of Socialism the Queen should have not merely permitted, but sedulously en- couraged, the marriage of Princess Fred- erica of Hanover with one who is not only ‘not born,” but who was actually her father’s orderly ofticer.—-London World.

Literary Notes.

John Ruskin says that he was a home bred boy, and that as diligently and scru- pulously as his mother taught him his Bible and Latin grammar, devotedly taught him Scott, Pope and Byron.

‘‘An American Statesman” has an article on ‘*Party Politics in the United States,” ‘in the November number of the Contempor- lary Review. The American readers of that ‘periodical will be surprised to hear of the ‘newspapers that in the recent campaign

Mr. Gladstone's Eastern policy is savage- ly assailed in the November Blackwood’s in an article aptly headed, in view of the peaceful war ship demonstration,
