Senater Hoar's Resolution.

Te Promote Foreign Trade.

_

Proposed Canal and Ship Railway,

Wasntncron, Jan. 23.

_ Senator Hoar introduced a joint resolu-

tion to-day, declaring to encourage ocean ship building and promote commerce with foreign pations. It is necessary to relieve the nierchant-marine as far as possible from ali oppressive tolls and customs duties. With a viewof forwarding this desirable object, the President is requested to open negotiations with Great. Britain and Canada for the purpose of having the Welland Canal made free to the merchant ships of the United States, also for the construction and opening of a free ship canal from the Bay of Fundy to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, at the joint expense of both nations. The President is also re- quested, in view of the "probable. competi- tion in the useof the proposed canal and ship railway, to unite the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, to enter upon negotiations with the proper authority fto secure the freedom of the canal in perpetuity to the American merchant marine, also to take similar steps to obtain the freedom of the Suez Canal for American mercantile service.

Obituary.

Ar the residence of her husband, Rose- neath, Lot 52, January 4, 1888, on the fourth day after the fiftieth anniversary of her marriage, Mrs, Barbara, beloved wife of Peter Gordon, Esq., and daughter of the late James Maedonald,: Esq., Kingsboro, Lot 47, closed her eyes in death, aged 76 years, after a short but severe illness (congestion of the lungs), from which she, from the first, believed she would not recover. Death, however, had no terrors for her, oecause she knew Whom she believed, and, in her last hours, said : ** My hope is good.”

About thirty-six years ago she confessed Christ, and was baptized by the late Rev. John Shaw. Our sister leaves a husband, six sonsand three daughters, in sorrow, but rot « hopeless sorrow, as they know

of a better home than any Which can be provided by the most tender hands and loving hearts on earth.

One of her seven sons preceded her to the spirit land, having died on the ocean, far froan home and mother’s care. The others may wait a little while, and then they, too, will pass over ; may it be a happy and eternal union.
