Summerside Notes.
SUMMERSIDE, April 12.
*
The body of John Stewart, who was drowned near Wilmot Bridge about ten days ago, was found on Thursday evening floating in the water near the place where he lost his life. An inquest was held on the remains, and a verdict returned in ac- cordance with the facts as previously stated.
Wild-goose shooting is all the go up here. Several of eur sportsmen have been very successful with that kind of game. They are sold on the streets for 30 cents each.
The late fall of snow has made the streets in a very bad condition, and the walking is everything but pleasant.
The late election has upset the Grits here completely. In fact, they are a sad, dejected looking party. Their cry is now, ‘* Well, we expected it.” It is all very well for them to say this after the contest is over. They fought tooth and nail against Messrs. Lefurgey and Kelly in this Dis- trict, and Messrs. Holland and Bentley in the Fourth District. Messrs. Lefurgey and Holland were abused by the Grits in a shameful manner and every scheme possible was devised to insure their defeat by the ‘Free School Party,” but without success ; and this cry coming from them-now isa poor one. It shows that their hope of success lay in calling themselves the Free School Party and showing that the schools were in danger if the Government was in danger. Jehn R. Calhoun has found out by this time what the electors of the Fourth District think of him. He has now plenty time to meditate upon his past political career while he was their representative, and it is hoped the benefit to be derived from such meditation will not be lost on him.
ikl Ta el lll The Victory in Prince Edward Island.
[Frown the Halifax Herald. |
The effect of the recent election in Prince Edward Island must be somewhat demoral- izing on our Grit neighbors. This is the Province, mark you, that was about to secede on aceount of the national policy. All the disgust, discontent and ‘‘reaction’’ occasioned by the introduction of the national policy were expected to have their focus in Prince Edward Island. The recent general election—being the first run in the Dominion since the N. P. was propounded— was expected to give expression to that dis- gust and rage in the most marked manner. The Patriot newspaper—the organ of Grilt- ism on P. E. Island—called on the electors of the Province to rise en masse and pro- nounce against the hideous outrage. The good Grit journals all over the Dominion prepared themselves to recount how Prince Edward Island had repudiated the awful N. P. The day arrived. The elections were held. When lo! the result is all the other way. The Liberal-Conservative party carry no less than twenty-six out of thirty seats, leaving Gritism as completely anni- hilated as it was in Neva Scotia on the 17th of last September. Mr. L. H. Davies, the man who stood as godfather to Mr. Mac- kenzie and free trade, is beaten in his old constituency by 2 staunch supporter of the national policy.

A New Colonization Movement
The valley of the-Ottawa is richin natural resources. The banks of the affinents of its noble rivers are still clothed with some of the finest forests in the world. Ii con- tains much strong, fertile soil; and a con- siderable portion of its territory has a clim- Late favorable to agricultural operations. Then, its mineral wealth is great. Not- withstanding all this, a very considerable emigration is taking place from the portion of it included in Ontario. From that por- tien people are flocking off to Manitoba and the Saskatchewan valley. But on the other hand a movement is being worked up for the colonization of the unsettled portions of the Quebec side of the Ottawa valley region. The movement has an ecclesiastical origin, and, if it comes to anything, is likely to proceed under ecclesiastical guidance. It is pro. posed that the 30,000 Cafholics of the Montreal diocese shall raise $30,000 a year to promote the scheme. This amount, it is suggested, should be expended in support- ing missionary priests, in the construction of the necessary chapels, the building of bridges and other works of common utility. The colonists, it is proposed, should be settled together in townships, which should constitute parishes. Of course, the inten- tion is to select for settlement French Catholics only. The project may not suc- ceed. It will be found difficult, we fancy, to raise the required sum.—St. John News.

Orrerx oF PEeTroievm.—It has been a puzzle to geologists te account for the origin of petroleum. One of the most re- cent hypotheses is that advanced by M. Mendelejetf. Starting with the nebular hypothesis, he regards the interior of the earth as metallic, doubtless composed largely of iron and carbides of iron ; through rents made by earthquakes water gained access to these bodies at a high temperature and under great pressure, and by their mutual chemical action, chemical oxides and saturated hydrocarbons resulted. It is

Amber Diving.
Diving for amunber is an occupation requir- ing strong constitutions. A recent writer gives the following description of the work: The diver’s costume consists of a woollen garment covering the bedy, which is then encased in an india-rubber dress, made in one piece, but differing ia shape from the old-fashioned diving dress, and allowing the diver to lie at full length. The helmet also is of a novel construction. Firmly fastened to it, and resting onthe shoulders, isa small air-chest, made of sheet iren, This chest is connected with the air pump in the boat above by an india-rubber tub- ing, forty feet long, and with the diver’s lungs by another india-rubber tube, the mouthpiece of which is held by the diver between his teeth; the whole apparatus being scientifically arranged so as to admit a suflicient supply of pure air from above, and means of exit for the expired breath. The helmet is provided with three open- ings covered with glass, and protected by wire, for the use of the eyes and mouth. When this contrivance has been screwed on to the person of the diver, a rope tied round his waist, and half a hundred of lead attached to his feet, shoulders and helmet, he is a!l ready for his plunge. Down fathoms deep, he descends into the amber world. He stays there maybe for five hours at a time— hooking, dragging, tear- ing the amber from its bed with his heavy two-pronged fork. Often it resists his ut- most efforts. However cold the weather may be, these fmen of iron strength will come up from their submarine labors streaming with prespiration. The over- seer stands in the boat to receive the amber from their pockets. In case heshould wish to ascend before the usual time, the diver has to close his mouth and breathe five or six times through his nostrils, by this means filling the apparatus with air, which will bring him to the surface without other assistance. The diving boats are manned by eight men each, twe divers, two pairs of men who work the air pumps alternately, with their eyes fixed on the dial plate, by which the supply of air is nicely regulated, one man to hold the safety rope attached round the diver’s body and haul him up at the slightest sign from beiow and the over- seer.

“Big Bear” threaten to eat Governor
Laird out in the Northwest, if his mounted
olice don’t save him. ‘Big Bear’ has collected all the surrounding tribes and made a demand, with threats, on Governor Laird. He says if they are not granted he will repossess the country and exterminate all the whites.—Bay Pilot. The Kings County Advertiser differs, however, with the Bay Pilot—there is not enough fat in Laird to grease his pancake griddle.

The pedestrian mania in the United States is producing its natural results. In one contest in New York one woman left the track, having been crazed by over- exertion ; another left because she saw her husband in a box with another = woman laughing at her; a third was taken sick and is in a critical condition. Verily, pedestrianism is a demoralizing affair as conducted at present.

THE exodus to Manitoba still continues. On the 9th a party of 110 persons, mostly of the agricultural class, left the Great Western Sta- tion, Toronto, for the prairie Province, under the charge of Mr. R, W. Prittie. A number of the immigrants were from the country lying back of Toronto, while not a few hailed from around Belleville, Brockville, and other places east. ‘They appeared to be well to do, hardy people. They take with them consid- erable capital, besides baggage in the shape of househeld effects and live stock. The freight occupied nine cars, which preceded the pas- senger train. Mr. Prittie anticipated that a party of five hundred would be made up by the time Detroit was reached, as the train was to stop at Hamilton, Harrisburg, Woodstock, Ingerso}l, London and Chatham.
Mr Jonn Gorpon, of the large wholesale dry goods tirm of Gordon, McKay & Co., writes to the Berlin Daily News, compliment- ing that paper on the tone of its articles, and concluded as follows : ‘* The Reformorgansare fast killing themselves and their influence through their wicked and mad crusade against the first real attempt at framing a tariff loyal to Canada. The attempt will fail, the tariff will succeed; and a new era dawns upon Can- ada—confidence in ourselves and our re- sources, a greater and more permanent pros- perity than ever. Canada as a cow pasture only won't do.” As one of our leading busi- ness men and a large importer as well as manu- facturer, no man is better qualified than Mr. Gordon to give an opinion in the premises.

The Death-rate of
Our country is getting to be fearfully al- arming, the average of life being lessened every year, without any reasonable cause, death resulting generally from the most in- significant origin. At this season of the year, especially, a cold is such a common thing that in che hurry of every day life we are apt to overlook the dangers attending it and often find, too late, that a Fever or Lung trouble has already set in. Thou- sands lose their lives in this way every win- ter, while had Bosshee’s German Syrup been taken, a cure would have resulted, and a large bill from a doctor been avoided, For all diseases of the Throat and Lungs, Bos- ehee’s German Syrup has proven itself to be the greatest discovery of its kind in medi- eine. Every Druggist in this country will tell you of its wonderful effect. Over 950,- 000 bottles sold last year without a single ! failure known.
