Tus Marker Sevare.—Our attention has been called to an obstruction in the shape of a large heap of sand, placed in the front of the Market House, upon the stand oceupied by live stock om market days. We all know that the Market Square is not too large for the ligitimate purposes of ac- commodating marketable commodities, and then on some oecasions, such as Haster Market, there is not space sufficient to exhibit fat catt’e, sheep, etc., which have to bs huddled up together for want of room to show them to advantage. This obstruc- tion to whith we wish to direct the special attention of Mayor Hooper and his Market Commit.ce is placed directly in front of the Market House, on the very grounds specially used for exhibiting fat cattle and
‘her animals on market days. We trust that immediate steps will be taken for the
removal of the obstruction complained of. |

Mr. Pereeason read an excellent paper before the Literary and Scientific Society last evening. The sabject—‘‘The First Colonists of the United Stat s and American Slavery”
was in itself sufficient te draw a large audi- ence, but other amusements prevented as large an attendance as‘on former occasions. ihe paper was well prepared, and his charac- fer and description of the first colonies of Virginia was ex‘rem ly interesting. He aiso ah brief sketch of the character of the
uritape who afterwards cettled New Enc- land The account viven of African slivery—- its origin, development and continuation Sdown to the American Kevolution—contained mach valaable information, concerning which many of his hearers possessed erroneons ideas. As a general rule he maintained that the slave was well taken care of by his master: and that, at the present day, most pleasant recol- lections exist between them of the days of titeir gervityde.

Dominion Political Notes.
Ortawa, Feb. 26.
The House met this afternoon at 3.20.
After routine proceedings, Sir Leonard introduced a bill relating to employea in factories. This is in most respects the same bill introduced last session.
Sir John moved that all the stages of the bill founded on the resolutions moved by | Sir Charles Tupper respecting the Canadian Pacific Railway, shall have precedence every day, after routine proceedings, until the House otherwise orders. Blake divided the House on the motion, 112 to 47, and Sir John’s motion was accordingly carried. The House proceeded ‘to the second reading of the act founded lnupon the Cavadian Pacific Railway reso- | jutions. Jlake again complained of ‘want of informatign. He thought that be- | fore passing the act Parliament should ‘have a full, careful and exact account of
the affairs of the Com;any. Sir Charles Tupper answered Boake, contending that there wee no alterations in the ovigiral ‘contract in any essential features, After recess the House continued the discussion of the Canadian Pacific Railway Bil, Sir Charles Tupper showing phat the McKenzie estimate for the Road from Winnipeg to Edmonton was based upon the sum of $21,568 per mile, while the cost cf the road | }ader the compspy’s jianagement from Wingi- peg to the eymmig of the Kicking Herse Pass was only $18,183 permile. After an angry speech from Blake, the House went into | committee of the whole on the Bill and then | the character of the Opposition was seen.

It is with sorrow that we record the death of Christy RK. Morrison, beloved daughter of Roderick and Mary Morrison, of Flat River, who died on Thursday, the 21st inst., aged 25 years. The funeral, which took place on Saturday, 23rd inst., was one of the largest that we have ever witnessed in Belfast. being attended by the large circle of relatives and friends who desired to show their deep respect for her and family. The Rev. Mr. Stewart, who preached the funeral sermon, gave a very able discourse, as he always does on such occagions; hut more especially on this one as he had been personally aequaiuted with the devd@sed for a number of years. He attend- ei her on her death b-d, and, therefore, knew as he stated in his discourse, the Christian life which she Jed. Although sick for neaily six months she never complained, beiuy wholly rcagned to the Divine Will of Almighty God, whose communion he could safely say, from her ‘‘hristian character, she now enjoys. Miss Morrisson spent about eight years in the training of jhe youth, in which occypation she was yery successful. standing amongst the first rank of our Island teachers. Her services were highly appreci- ated in every district in which she taught, winning the esteem a i who had the pleasure of forming her a uaintange, We sincerely
tender our dee) iclt sympathy to her aged parents, brothers and sisters, and the large circle of relatives and friends, who mourn
