The Lumber Trade of Brunswick.

New

In J. B. Snowball’s Miramichi Wood Trade Circular for 1878, it is said that, ** Reviewing the trade for the year the re- sult has been anything but satisfactory. The curtailment in our exports predicted

‘last season, has taken place, the e t

‘ } : Pxpor

|fer the year beiug 30 per cent less than in a

1877, still the quantity produced is so in excess of the demand that both the ship- pers and the ‘‘ Banks interested in the trade” have wisely determined to enforce a still further reduction. ‘The shipments for the year have been confined almost entirely to Spruce Deals, very little Birch or Pine Timber having been made, although our f rests are still a able of prolucing a con- siderable quantity of these woods. The low prices ruling havealmost entirely check- ed the export of Pine Deals from this port,

The shipments to Europe for the four last years were :—

For 1875, 104 Millions Superficial Feet.

For 1876, 116s do do For 1877, 150 do do For 1878, 106 do do

The weather has been most unfavorable to operations in the woods, there having been very little frost or snow to the present time, which is quite unusual.

On the 11th inst., when considerable ice had formed in our rivers, a heavy rain fell, swolling the streams and floating off logs supposed to be safe for the winter. This unprecedanted freshet carried a quantity of logs, estimated at from 1,500,000 to 2,000,- 000 superficial feet out to sea, there being a channel of open water with ice on either shore of the river, which prevented the drift lumber from landing, while the loose ice with which it was mixed rendered at- tempts to save it futile.

The cost of producing logs on the Mira- michi is constantly increasing, owing to the fact that lumbermen are obliged to go fur- ther into the forests each year to carry on their operations. The Government. tax which was raised from sixty to eighty cents per thousand superficial feet two vears since is still continued at the latter figure, and the boomage and other incidental charges are also increased each year.

The Lumber Shipments of New Bruns- wick tu the United Kingdom and Conti- nental Ports for the year 1878 are, there- fore, as follows :—

The above export—equal to 183,402 St. Petersburg Standard—embraces the total shipments from the Province, excepting those from Caraquet and Tracadie, the rec- ord of the former not having come to hand. The Tracadie Shipments were in two ves- sels aggregating 1,215 tons, their cargoes consisting of 614,815 superficial feet Deals, etc., and 420,717 pieces of palings. The Caraquet Shipments are estimated at about 2,000,000 superficial feet.

The St. John Sun says: A young man, named Murphy, while chopping wood about three miles from Woodstock, N. B., and a half mile from the Newburgh road, had his attention attracted by the loud barking of his dog to a large elm trve,a windfall. Ex. amining the tree, which was hollow, he found some living animal had taken up its quarters there, and supposing it to bea porcupine, he went on with his work. On looking about a few moments after he found himself in the presence of a large Mrs. Bruin, who had quietly emerged from the opposite end of the elm and stood close by him. The dog seized the bear by the nose and pluckily held his grip, while Murphy, Junior, did some vigorous chopping. Scarce- ly had he despatched number one when number two came rolling out, followed by number three. Business began to look lively for Murphy, but he was a good axe- man and equal to the occasion. The pelts of the three bears were sold for $15; the bounty amounts to $9, and Murphy has, besides, the oil and some choice steak. On the whole, it was a windfall for Murphy.

Sulphur as a Medicins.

Vo the Lditor of the Examiner.

Sir,—-Many agree with me that if sul- phur was sold as high as gold dust, and people ‘knew the healthy, purifying quali- ties it possessed, there would be quantities used daily, and no family would do without it. If taken as it should be, from the birth of the child until old age, all the troublesome, loathsome and life-destroy- ing diseases that we come in contact with— such as diptheria, tumors, humors, etc. would be greatly abated. It has been a family medicine, handed down from ovr great-great-grandmothers ; and many that I meet with daily well remember when their mothers dealt it out in the family, to old and young. But, being so easily ot- tained, it has been neglected, and the druygist’s costly prescriptions are taking its place. Now, go to your grocer, and buy 4 lb. sulphur and } Ib. of creamtarter ; take acup, fill it half full, then fill with mo- lasses ; stir together ; take a spoonful each morning, before eating, for a week, then make the dose one half ; eat regularly and bathe once a week in pure spring water ; rub well with a coarse towel ; change under- clothing often ; sleep in a well-ventilated room ; drink nothing but pure water, and, nry word for it, the health of the sickly will undergo a radical transformation. Nothing will generate disease as quickly as impure air and bad water. Yours, ete.,

The Beet Sugar Industry.

(From the St. John News.)

The manufacture of sugar from beets is a great industry in France and Germany, and it has gained a footingin two or three other European countries. Some efforts have been made to establish it in the British Isles, but they have not been suc- cessful. Various attempts have been made to acclimatize the industry in the United States, and efforts are now being made there in the same direction. Some slight movements have been made in Canada in the same direction, and more serious at- tempts both in Ontario and Quebec are likely to be made presently. The Local Governments and Legislatures in those Provinces have been interested in the mat- ter, and numerous individuals seem to be preparing to further the enterprise. Buta few days ago the leading men in New Ham- burg and Wellesley, Ontario, met, deliberat- ed and decided to establish a beet root manufactory in the former place, and sub- scribed $26,000 for the purpose. A com- mittee was appointed to wait on the On- tario Government to secure aid for the en- terprise. It is said that a Boston firm has offered $50,000 to aid in establishing this manufactory. It is to. be presumed that the soil and climate of these localities are specially favorable to beet-root culture. {t would be a grand thing for Canada should this industry be firmly established in its various Provinces. The indus- tries of a country cannot be too varied or numerous if only they are pro- fitable, and it seems reasonable to believe that this sugar industry might be made profitable in Canada. Established on a large scale, it would add greatly to the wealth of the country. It would strengthen and enrich the noblest industrial interest of the land—that of agriculture. It would en- able Canada with more ease and safety. to

purchase abroad what she cannot produce at -

home. Exports hitherto made to pay for foreign sugar would be diverted to the pur- chase of other articles of foreign produce tion.

It appears already placed beyond dispute that much of the soil of Canada is admire ably weli adapted to beet-root culture; and it is claimed, apparently with reason, that the climate throughout large sections of Canada is equally favorable to the manu- facture of sugar from the beet. Then, Can- adian land is cheap and the Canadian mar- ket is of considerable extent. The other conditions of success, capital, skill, suitable labor and organization, ought to be consid- ered attainable. Any serious efforts made in the Upper Provinces to locate this in- dustry there should be keenly watched.

Fears are entertained that Professor Nordenskjold, the eminent Swedish explor- er, whose successful voyage from Sweden to the mouth of the river Len, in the Arctic Ocean, we noticed a few days ago, has been stuck in the ice near East Cape, at the northern entrance of Behring Strait. The report that such is the case appears to us, however, to be based on very doubtful information, and will, we trust, prove to be unfounded. The daring explorer has mer- ited a better fate than what would un- doubtedly overtake him should he be ice- locked at Behring Strait this season of the year.— Hx. Herald.

mon, alluded to the celebrated ‘‘low- necked” order. His grace said :-—‘‘I trust that the order respecting low-necked
