We are not surprised that dhe should seek thus to prevaricate about the facts.” ; .

‘Do you expect atiything else?” inguired the reporter anxiously.

“*Yes,” cheetfully responded Mr. Patricks Joyce, dynamite lieutenant, ‘‘we expect | that something worse will happen to- morrew.””

‘‘Has Mr. O'Donovan Rossayet expressed his sentiments on the event?” still further and more anxiously inquired the reporter. “4M. O'Donovan Rossa,” responded Mr. Patrick Joyee severely, “has no need to express his sentiments to you. He agrees with me that we don’t want to say anything more than that -we-expect more and more terrible things to happen to England every day till Ireland is free. Therefore you need say nothing more than that we ere in expectation.” OM YAGI

It is only fair to state, however, that Rossa ,has rival in Pref, E, Stone Wis: | gins, the only weather prophet of the Maritime Provinces, who also lays claim to the paternity of the disturbance. Prof. Wiggins’s views "are thus set forth in a tele- gram to the American press :—

The earthquake of yesterday he holds, is a fair fulfilment of the closing words of the sentence, predicting that in April the vol- canoes ef Europe and Asia weuld be ia full play.

Crapaud Notes.

Farmers here are preparing for spring work. The wheat will be put into the ground this week if weather permits,

A. Collett, Esq., mail contractor, has just completed a first-class barn, twenty- two feet square, at Crapaud Corner. It is worthy of note that the material for this building was standing in the woods three weeks ago.

Several buildings are in course of erection here this summer. Consequently we ex- _pect to hear the sound of the hammer from early morn until the setting of the sun.

We were a highly fuvored people here last winter, having no less than three medi- cal gentlemen in our midst; but owing to the health of the people, two of them have left for other parts of the Island, leaving behind them our rebust, good-natured old friend, Dr. Robertson; and, as usual, he is

Miss McPhail is untiring in her efforts to bring it to the standard of a first- class school in reality as well as in name. No doubt the district will reward her by voting a liberal supplement at the annual meeting.
