Messrs, Langevin, Routhier, Caron, P. A. Landry, Tasse and Girouard delivered eloquent speeches. Great enthusiasm and harmony prevailed. The col»nization of New Bruns- wick by the French and other nations was strongly advocated. Pascal Pomer, of the civil service, Ottawa, read part of his poem on the national fete. A number of the repre- sentatives of Enylish papers were present.

THERE has been some improvement on freights from the close of last week, when the rate on grain for Liverpool was 2}d., but it is now 31., and the last engagement was at that figure. The engagements have been about 75,000 bushels. The loss of the ‘‘Brantford City” causes a scarcity of room for London, and the cargo that was engaged for her will be delayed. Rates for London are consequently higher.— Boston Advertiser.

Tue entertainment given on board the United States war ship ‘‘Alliance” yesterday afternoon was a very agreeable affair. Com- mander Reed and the officers delighted all who went on board with their kindness and attention. ‘The ship was very prettily decor- ated, and the deck, for dancing purposes, was all that could be desired. We believe the officers enjoyed themselves very much during their stay here, and speak highly of the recep- tion and attention shewn them by the citizens of Charlottetown.

A uitrLe ‘‘cent mister!” boy named Smith, was discovered at five o’clock this morning sleeping on the stone steps of St. Patrick’s Hall. The little fellow had his feet muffied with his coat sleeves, and the balance of the garment pulled over him. When found by Mr. Cullen, keeper of the Law Courts, he was shivering and feverish. He was taken to Mr. Cullen’s house and cared for. The boy is only four years of age and is without parental care, his father being dead, and his mother is con- fined in jail. We think the city authorities should take charge of the waif.

Tuomas PLUMMER, a section man near Moncton, says that on Thursday last two women who had been out on the plaio picking blueberries, told him ‘‘that they had discover- ed the remains of a human body on the plains. One ef the women had been some dis tance from the otver, when she noticed pieces of clothing and two bcots, apparently about the size of No. 4 ladies boots. In order to satisfy themselves one of the women took a stick aod pried opem the boots, the laces of which had become rotten, when the feet were plainly seen. There were noother bones and nothing but some fragments of cloth*ng in the vicinlty. After sticking up two pieces of

Active Mruiyia.—In our report yesterday of the Active Militia Competitions, some slight errors occurred, Col. Sergt.

The following are the totals of the different teams that competed in the team match. There were two teams from the city and two from the country.

| I'he Erosion of our River-Valleys. One of the peculiar treasures of our fair | and is its broad-bosomed tidal rivers that open up such silvery highways into its swelling hills of verdure. They are more like mina‘ure”™ arms of the sea—gentle heralds which old ocean has clad in its best jeweled livery, and sent in to pay court to the rich-robed virgin of whispering groves and flower-scented meadows—than they are like the narrow, flowing currents of rivers proper

The North River will afford us a good illustration of what our rivers are. Up at its head-waters, where it wanders in the bread vale of Milton, it is a rushing stream gurgling among the alders or straying with subdued murmurings under the shadow of the great forest trees. What lovely dells it waters here, where, in the faint light of the wooded arches, the murmuring air is filled with the breath of wild flowers and the plaintive spirits of sylvan song! Then it sleeps in the mill-pond, where its waters bosom a broader image of the sky. Its last leap—from the mill-dam at Moor'’s—is in broken, silvery cascades, jeweled with foam. There is the shout of waters, filling the arbor-shaded valley, the silvery dash of spray, the diamond flashings of light from the sporting ripples, and the deep black night of shadows that lie under the rich draped areades of overhanging birches.

Fora mile below this point, the stream has a pretty strong current, circling among the sedgy meadows ; but further down the current is all lost in the broad reach of overflowing tide-water. It is no longer a rolling river, but an estuary, an old country frith or fiord. Our name river is but a memory of what has been—a shadowy spirit of the past amid the sunlet scenes of to day.

It is a point of interest to the Geologist to enquire what has been the origin of the

I Has this

valleys of these tidal rivers. North River, for example, worn out its own valley? It must have done so. The valley is worn right across the strike of the strata, and there is no sign of any transverse disturbance of the beds which could have produced it. But the river must have been amuch more rapid and powerful stream when it carried the hills in its hands to the sea, and scooped out this hill-guarded valley for its bed. There is geological evi- dence that, after the close of the Boulder Period, the land of our province stood much higher than it does at present. At that time the rivers was stronger and more rapid streams, sweeping with full current the whole length of their present valleys, which the tide-water then never entered. It was then that those broad waterways were worn out by the ceaseless abrasion of the head-long streams, and the basins for these sheltered havens formed which are to-day the hand-maids to the abounding riches of our soil. Oh, beautiful bays! bright as the skies that bow over you, dappled white as the sea-gull’s wing that loves your free bosom, every lap of your bright waves but tells of a sinking land—of a realm of virgin beauty and wealth passing away, slowly but surely, before the stern mandate of the irrevocable laws of nature.

WORLD'S

Hair Restorer

LIS PERFECTION/

Public Benefactress. Mrs. S. A. ALLEN has justly earned this title, and thousands are this day rejoicing over a fine head of hair produced by her unequaled pyeparaticn for restor- ing, invigorating, and beautifying the Hair. Her World’s Hair Restorer quickly cleanses the scalp, removing Dandruff, and arrests the fall; the hair, if gray, is changed to its natural color, giving it the same vitality and luxurious quantity as in youth.

COMPLIMENTARY. “ My hair is now restored to its youthful color; I have not a gray hair left. I am sat- isfied that the preparation is not a dye, but acts on the secretions. My hair ceases to fall, which is cer-.. tainly an advantage to me, who was in danger of be- coming bald.” This is the testimony of all who use Mrs. S. A. ALLEN’s WORLD'S HAIR RESTORER.

**One Bottle did it.” That is the expression of many who have had their gray hair restored to its natural color, and their bald spot covered with hair, after using one bottle of Mrs. S. A. ALLEN’s WorLp’s Hair Restorer. It is not a dye.
