Opening of Parliament.

Tue speech with which the Governor General opened Parliament begins very happily with a reference to the abundant harvest with which the country has been blessed. As if by way of contrast, the unfortunate condition of Ireland is specially alluded to; and Parliament is asked to consider the best means of showing prac- tical sympathy with the suffering people of the motherland of many of Canada’s best citizens. It is to be hoped that no time will be lestin carrving out the intentions of the Government in this matter. Ireland is in great need now; and the prompter the action the better. We are well assured that the country will bear out its repre- sentatives in a hearty and generous grant for the relief ef those who are suffer- ing—even to starvation.

The tide of immigration which has set into this country, and which will likely increasé in volume as the years go by, 1s noticed. But nothing is said of the wise and timely action taken by the Govern- ment to promete the immigration of the better class of persons in the overcrowded Mother Country to this Canada of Ours. The delegate’ who, at the suggestion and expense of the Government, came over last antumn and saw the land, its products, and its people, are now so many of the best immigration agents that could possibly be ebtained. Seme gratifying results of the railway pelicy of the Government are given. The Governor General intimates that the effect of the tariff of last session has, on the whole, been very satisfactory ; but some amendments to it will be introduced.

Death of

We learn from the ‘Christian Messenger’ that the Rev. William Hobbs, M. D., died at Los Angeles, California, on the 9th January, aged 65 years. Dr. Hobbs was a native of Argyle, Yarmouth County. where he has a surviving brother and a number of relatives, He resided for-some time, when a young man, in the adjoining County of Digby, where he married hus first wife, and not long afterwards began to preach in the neighborhood of Wey- mouth, From there he went to Hammend’s Plains (near Halifax), where le was ordained and became pastor ot the Baptist Church. in 1846 he removed to Pugwash, Cumberland County, and after some years spent in mis sionary work in that County and in P. E. Island, he preached in the Halifax North Church in 1858 and 1859, and subsequently in Fredericton, N. B. Soon afterwards he went to New Yor: and studied medicine, especially adiploma. He still continued to preach in the various places he visited. During this time his first wife died where she had remain- ed, in Digby County, and Dr. Hobbs subse- quently married Miss Anna Page, of Pug- wash, N. §., and shortly afterwards removed to New Zealand. He remained there and in Australia se voral years, and a few years ago removed to Los Angeles, with the intention, 1$ 18 said, of returning to Nova Scotia, —Yur-

held by Hon. Mr. Wilmot.

The Sun tenders its cengratulations to the gentlemen who have been selected by the Government to all the responsible posi- tions and whose appointment, we have no doubt, will meet the approval not only of the supporters of the Government but of the public generally. * The selection of Senater Macpherson to preside oyer the Senate of Canada is a fitting compliment to a gentleman of great ability, who had ren-

ally } dered the country and the Government in- in connection with Hydropathy, and receiyed }

valuable assistance in the discussion of pub- lic mattecs. Mr. Wilnot’s appointment to the Government is fitting wind-up to a long and active political career. Mr. Boyd's elevation to the Senate adds to that digni- fied body a thorough business man, an ac- complished speaker and a genial, large- hearted gentleman. Mr. King’s appoint-

STOCK-TAKING.

to Stock-taking, we have re- solved to clear out as much of our Winter Stock as possible. We are aware that at this season it is hard to get people to buy even at reduced prices; but in the face of this difficulty we have made up our mind to adopt full measures, and sell our Wool

\Goods and Dress Goods at a

sacrifice.

Our Goods have been very cheap all winter, as the run of trade we have had fully testifies. Our store has become the resort of those Ladies who know how tomake a penny go a long way, and who know a cheap article when they see it; and when we say we are going to reduce the prices of our Dress Goods and Trimmings, we know we shall be believed. We are particul- arly anxious to clear out our present Stock, in order to intro- duce as much of the newest style of Dress Material as possible, and at the very lowest prices. We shall make special prices on Black Cashmeres, Black Meri- nos, Black Cords and Lustres, Lustrines and Brilliantines,

Our Fancy Wool Goods will be sold at less than cost. Our Stock of this class was the larg- est, most select, and finest in the city, and the remains of it will be sold at a great sacrifice.

Blankets, Quilts, Horse Rugs, &e., will be cleared out at great Bargains.

We make no apology to the Tea-drinking public for drawing their attention to our fine flavored and rich Teas, 32, 36, and 40 cents per Ib. They are receiving the highest praise, and those who use them, strongly recommend them to others. Our trade in this article is growing rapidly. Tea appeals to the most subtile of the senses, and as the proof of the pudding is in the eating, so the proof of the Tea is in the drinking. Friends, try it.
