flawmation of Huelungsand pleurisy, claimed her as his victim. From a letter received yesterday by the Mother Superior of the Hospital, we are permitted to make the

following extract, translated from the

French : —

This morning at twenty minutes past nin. o'eloek, immediately after receiving the las® ited of Holy Charch, and after having given us another proof of her lively faith, our dear Sister St. Thomas so calmly quitted this val of tears, that the whole community,unit- ed .ound her bedside, scarcely perceived that the portals of Heaven had opened to bid her weicome to the celestial banquet. Naturally enowgh, her death produced a deep impression upod all our “Sisters—an impression all the more profound When we remembered that the dear departed had only on Tuesday last been considered sick enough to be removed to the Motler House, where we cll felt sure she woe'd quickly improve under the care of doc- ter and infirmarian. But God _had decided ot :erwise,and we must resign ourselves to His decisions and bless His Providence even in the very blow which strikes us down.”

At the time of her death, Sister St. Thomas was’ inthe 61st year of her age, and 27th of herveligious profession. To-

re‘her with three Sisters, she was named -

by the SuperiowGeneral of the Sisters of

The poor of Charlottetown will remember lier wil) the sick for whom nitatrations rore unceasing, with deep ieee: and citi- zens of all creéds with respect and admira- tion.

When the smallpox epidemic broke out here last year, and nurses could nowhere be found to tend those stricken down with this loathsome disease, Sister St. Thomas immediately volunteered her valuable ser- vices, and together with two other Sisters remained inthe Hospital until there was

Prince of Wales Testimonial.

A GOOD SUGGESTION ADOPTED

Six,—L enclose herewith for publication a copy of communication which His Excel- leney the Governor-General has received from the Seeretaries of the Prince of Wales Testimonial Fund, and transmitted to me. 1 feel assured that subseribers will readily accede to the wish expressed by His Royal Highness that any sums collected for the testim nial should be added to those which have been contributed for an ‘* Imperial Institute” for the Colonies and India, com- memorative of Her Majesty's Jubilee. A. A. Macpona.p, Lieut. Governor. Government House, P. E. L., December Ist, 1886. Sols wi TESTIMONIAL TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNES PRINCE OF WALES.

The sub-committee of the Earl Cadogan, Chairman; the Earl of Rosebury; Lord Napier of Magdala; the Lord Mayor of London; Sir John Rose; Sir Robert G. W. Herbert with Colonel Sir Owen T.

surne and Sir Arthur N. Bireil, Honorary

Secretaries, have had laid before them the

following letter from H. R. H., the Prince

of Wales, addressed to the Chairman : Abergeldie Castle, Sept., 19, 1836-

My Deak CapoGan, As i understand that you are Chairman of the Committee which has been formed for the purpose of collecting funds for a Testimonial to be presented to me as Executive l’resident of the Colonial and Indian Exhibition, Iwish to write and ex- press to yon and the other gentlemen who have a0 kindly moved in this matter, how deeply 1 appreciate the compliment they pro- posed to pay me.

I feel, however, that I cannot accept any personal present, though 1 am most sensible of the kind feeling which has prompted it, but as you ave aware that it is suggested in commemoration of Her Majesty's jubilee year, to establish an ‘Imperial Institution” ior the Colonies and India, in the promotion of which I take the deepest interest, I should jbe most grateful if the subscribers would al- low the funds collected for my testimonial, to be applied in aid of that object.

Should they kindly do so, it will be an ample reward to me for any services I may have rendered to make the Exhibition of 1886 a success.

Believe me, My dear Cadogan, Very simeerely yours, Avsert Epwarp P. The Earl of Cadogan, ¢tc., etc.

Whereupon the following resolution was proposed and adopted :~-

That in view of the letter addressed by His Royal Highness, the Executive President, to the chairman of this committee, in which His Roya! Highness, while conveying his grateful appreciation of the proposed testimonial to himeelf, eXpresses the wish that it may not take sucha form, but that any funds collected may he applied tewards the ‘* Imperial Insti. tution” which it is intended to found to com-

remorate the jubilee year of Ilcr Majesty's reign,

Resolved Therefore, That the coiumittee, believing it to be the wish of the subscribers to eviuce their high sense of His Royal High- ness'® £ vices in the manner most ac- ceptad'e (ol meself, aquiesce in the suggestion contained in his letter.

They desire, at the same time, to record what they are assured will be the unanimous feeling of all the donors—-that the step then taken by His Royal Highness will, if possible,

‘add to the appreciation entertained of his dis-

interested and public-spirited efforts, not only on behalf-of an exhibition from which many millions of Her Majesty’s subjects have al- ready derived so much advantage, but to fur- ther a project which will at once be a grace- ful memorial of Her Majesty's long and happy reign, and conduce to the permanent consoli- dation of the Empire.

It was further resolved that the chairman

Ona tine October day, the St. Lawrence came 2s usual with her rich and heavy load of freight to Point du Chene. Her lower deck was covered with sheep, lambs, horses, and piled up with oysters in barrels, and oats in bags. There is some- thing inthe soil and climate of Prince Edward island favorable. to physical development, A look at the horses and sheep on the St. Lawrence made that evident. Some of them are adapted to the road and some to the truck. They were a fine lot of ani- mals. I tovk pains to examine the sheep. They too were large and finely rounded in form. Close observation in travelling over the Island confirmed the first impression. Everywhere the horses and sheep are large, and many of them fi in form.

duing the fall-ploughing. Nowhere did I see a crooked furrow. It is pleasant to the eyes to look upon the red fields and the straight furrows. Most of the ploughing is evidently done in the autumn. Farmers think it is better for the land, and, as the autumns are long and fine, and the springs te and rainy, itiseconomy of timetoget the fieldsturned upto thesun before winter comes on. At Montague I saw one of the finest Dur- ham cows that could be found anywhere. There is no little agitation about the matter of improved breeds of animals, and the in- troduction of fruit trees. It is ascertained that good appies can be raised on any part of the island. Apple tree agents were busy in distributing young trees in different parts of the country. ‘the plongh could make an uninterrupted furrow from Hast to West Cape.

It must not be inferred that there is no imanuiacturing in that part of the Dominion. At Tryon and Charlottetown there are woolen mills, and at .Crapaud there is a starch factory. At Tryon the factory pro- duces a great variety of tweeds, blankets
