Too Mvou Morratye.—An old man of eighty-five years named Levi Coltun, has re- sided at New Haven, Conn., for many years. He was. suvported by his daughter, Mrs. Charles Smith of New York city. He was in the habit of taking morphine. He contracted many debis snd squandered money when he was under the inflaence of the drug. Mrs. Smith tinally concluded to stop his supply of cash. She had done this before, and the old man took an overdose of morphine for the purpose of frightening her. Last Thursday he tried the same game again, but was dis- appoieted in the strength of the drug, for he died from its effects in the Almshcuse where he had been taken immediately after his experiment.

Goon yor a Scmmersrpe Buttozr. —The following paragraph is from the New Zealand Herald of Dee. 29. The vessel which had been winning laurels at the antipodes (the
brigt. Nora) was built here in 1883 for A. McMillan, Esq, Mr Thomas Gough being her master-builder, We
remember the little craft.as avery hand- some model and we are pleased to chronicle her success abroad. The Nora, we understand, is owned jointly oe: Messrs. McMillan and Holman. The igantines Nora and Oceola have been doing & little racing during the last month or two. both left Newcastle bound for Timarn, and arrived within a few hours of each other. Aiter discharging and taking in cargoes, the two vessels again left for Auckland. The Uceola left about 10 a m. of the 12th, the Nora at 2.3) p. m. and they both reached here —the Nora at 3a. m. and the Oceolaat 7. 4. m. yesterday morning. From tue above it will be seen that the Nora has proved herself the victor with some hours to spare. The Nora’s cargo contists of 9552 sacks wheat oate, flourand bran, and 80 bales cornsacks.

Improvement; Wanted. HARBOR FACILITIES AND RAILWAY RXTENSION TO EAST PvINT -—— PROTECTION OF OUR FISHERIES, ETC—LARGE MEETING AT LOT 47.
On Monday afternoon, 9th inst., a large and influential public meeting of the in- habitants of East Point, was held in Lake- ville schoolhouse. Elisha J. Baker, Esq,, was appointed chairman, and the under- signed, secretary.
Mr. Baker, in a few well chosen remarks, stated the objects for which the meeting was called, viz: to discuss the requirements of the districts from both Local and Dominion yovernments.
John McLean, Esq., M. @. P., who, by request, was presens, first addressed the meeting. He reviewed the policy of our Local Government, under the leadership of Hon. W. W. Sullivan, considered that that Government had always used us well; guaranteed that any reasonable request that the people of this district would make, should receive the strictest attention when the House meets,and strongly recommended the people to petition the general govern- ment for the extension of the Prince Edward Islnd Railway to East Point, the opening of a harbor at North Lake, and a post office for Lakeville, and concludad his remarks with a firm hope that if such steps were taken, no reasonable government would refuse their request.
lt is upnecesary here to report the speeches of the several gentlemen who addressed the meeting. After Mr. McLean, Mr. Angus E. Me!ntyre spoke at considerable length upon the expiration of the Washington treaty and other matters, hoped that our representatives at Ottawa would exert themselves in impressing upon the Govern- ment the necessity (in events of a proper understanding not being arrived at between the governments of Canada and the United States) of protecting our fishermen from American poachers.
Mr. M. Melnnis took occasion to refer to the remarks made by our representative, Mr. McLean. He thought that no doubt Mr. McLean had personally been well used by the Local Government, but did not think that, so far as the district which he represented was concerned, it had reaped avy very great advantages. The opening of Tarantum road, the bridging of Ross’s mill stream, and the straightening of the road from North Lake Bridge towards the Columbia Church, were matters not new to our Local Government. He hoped that Mr. McLean would redeem his promises with regard to these items when the House meets.
After speeches by Dougald Campbell, Esq., Peter Rose, (Miller,) Patrick G. Mc Intyre, Lec McDonald, John J. Campbell, Malcolm J. Campbell and others, the fol- lowing resolutions were put to the meeting and unanimously carried :—
Moved by Allan M. McDonald, Esq., and seconded by D. Campbell, Esq. ,—
Whereas, This eastern section of King’s County is entirely void of a harbor or any shipping facility, the nearest port being Souris, a distance (by a circuitous and hilly route) of about twenty miles. : Whereas, Owing to the difficulties and hardships experienced by our farmers in hauling to market in the fall of the year, over such a route, their farm produce and other commodities, as well as their inability to secure lime and limestone for manuring purposes, the agricultural interests of this end of the country are entirely neglected. Whereas, The greater portion of the ex- ports from the port of Souris, notwith- standing the disadvantages under which cur people labor, comes from this eastern end of the County. : : Thereyore Resolved, That this meeting humbly but earnestly request that our representatives in Parliament will impress upon the Government at Ottawa the abso- lute necessity of securing to the people of East Point an extension of the Prince Edward Island Railway from Souris to Elmira.
And Further Resolved, That the Govern- ment be asked to open a Post Office at Lakeville for the benefit of the inhabitants of that settlement.
The following resolutions were moved by Mr. Peter Rose and seconded by Leo Mc- Donald and Patrick OC. McIntyre.
Whereas, Our resident fishermen on the North side of Prince Edward Island suffer greatly the want of a harbor of refuge,there being none between East Point and St. Peter’s Bay.
Whereas, We dollars expended on
believe that a few thousand the further extension
| Campbell’s Cove Breakwater would afford | valuable and much needed shipping facili- ties, benid-s shelter for fi.hing «chooners and other er .f:s
The efore Resolved, That this 1 @ ting de- | sire to call the a’teation of the Dominion Government to the advisability ot complet- |ing the said Campbell’s Cove Breakwater | with as little delay as possible ; and
Further Resolved, That our representa- tives urge upon the General Government i that, if at all practical, to open a harbor at
North Lake at a reasonable cost—a sum of money suflicient for that purpose will be |placed in the estimates for the ensuing |yea.
| Moved by Mr. McInnis and seconded by i Dougall Campbell, Erq., and others, and Unanimously adopted. -
Wiereas, The treaty between Grea Brita‘a and the United States, known as “The Washington Treaty,” expires the first day of Juiy next.
Therefore Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting it is advisable that our re- presentatives at Ottawa urge upon the Dominion Government the necessity of tak- ing steps to secure a Reciprocity Treaty with the United States, and in event of such proposals on the part of our Govern- ment ss may seem mutually advantageous to both countries, being rejected by the
; United States Government at Washington,
we earnestly request that the General Government of Canada will take steps as may be necessary to protect resident fisher- men in the enjoyment of this right within the three mile limit, and te prevent any in- fringement thereof by fishermen sailing un- der the United States flag.
Moved by Malcolm J. Campbell, and seconded by John J. Campbell :—
Whereas, In view of the many difficulties under which the farmers of this section of the country labor in conveying their pro- duce to market along the South shore for a distance of about eighteen miles over an extremely hilly road ; and Whereas, The completion of Tarantum Road would not only lessen the distance to about ten miles, but is perfectly level ;
Therefore Resolved, That this meeting earnestly request that our representatives urge upon the L cal Govcrsment the neces- sity of voting asum of money at the next session for the completion of said Tarantum Road.
After the transaction of some other busi- ness of minor importance, and a vote of thanks tendered to John McLean, Eeg., M. P. P., for his attendance, and the thanks of the meeting to Mr. Baker for his im- partial conduct in the chair, the meeting dispersed.

The Year 84
What has become of our antumn leaves, The leaves of the year ’84 ?
Hidden away,
In white array, The leaves of last year are in store, For the making fresh flowers and sheaves,
Death has passed o’er the kingdom of bloom ; The flowers of old ’84, Crushed by the snow, Lie down below, And we shall never see them more, For they have fallen, and met their doom,
The Ice King bas stripped the shrubs and treer,
So green in the year ’84!
And trank and bough,
Are sleeping now, And nodding to each northern roar, Like a penitent upon his knees.
Great Nature’s lessons are always wise,
For even the year ’84,
Now passed and gone,
Has dropt his thorn, From the wounds he made so sore, That a new harvest may have supplies.
Great was the goodness of God, all through
The year of the Lord ’84 !
He garnered it,
And made it fit, And good for man, as oft before :— Truly, ALL will grow again, that grew, RETSGAB,
