Rey. Weston Jones in St. Johns

Church, At the morning service in St. John’s (Stone) church, St. John, N. B., on Sunday last, Rev.

Lindsay, Ont., and prospective rector of St. Paul’s Church, in this sity, preached an excellent sermon

) rr}

from John xx., 2: They have taken away

Weston Jones, late of

the Lord out of the sepulchre and we know not where they have laid him. These \ rds. said the speaker, were spoken cn the first Easter by Mary Magdalene and from this we derive the main doctrines of

Christian religion. Although Jesus’ life was a grand example, the caution

mes from the empty tomb that he must be taken wholly as such. Good lives are always attractive and helpful, but Jesus’ was something more than a good life and this all should know. The disciple’s great- grief was when they looked upon the dead Saviour. Although He had prophe- sied His death, they did not realize it, and in this they were wanting. They should

est

have remembered His werds. All have mourned for lost friends because of love, yet the Lord s iVS that all shall enjoy sweet communion above. lf the word of Giod was thoroughly understood, how much ess sorrow there would be. Another warn-

sme from that empty tomb, against a religion without an ever-present Jesus. Although Mary had listened to Christ's teachings, and followed Him, her grief was it at finding the empty tomb, forgetting

that the Saviour was always present. No i igion Can ever stan | that has not God for its chief corner stone Men may love

the world and riches, they have the Lord in their

} can go anywhere, d

and this is is right if: hearts. We » anything, but not have consolation unl S38 16 comes from God. This we can Know by reading the Bible. We must look upon Him net asa_histori- i! or exemplary character, but as a living, ever-present friend and helper. Things re often given which do not satisfy us, but we should have Him always with us. s+ > +

The Church at Sturgeon.

THe corner stone of the church to be erected at Sturgeon,in honor of the Blessed Virgin, was laid Tuesday morning by Bishop McIntyre. A large concourse of people, of different creeds, coming from the different parishes, eagerly witnessed the ceremony. His Lordship was assisted by Revds. William Grant, of Georgetown, and F. X. Gallant, of Charlottetown, as masters of ceremonies. There were present ilso, Revds. James Phelan, of Vernon River, William Phelan, Parish Priest of Sturgeon, and John Corbett, of Montague West. Rev. James Phelan preached a very earnest and impressive sermon, explaining in clear and forcible language the meaning and necessity of blessing and laying the corner stone. Its symbolic meaning, he said, was a figure of Christ who is the cor- ner stone of the spiritual edifice. In a cavity under the corner were laid a copy of the Charlottetown Herald, Datty Examt- NER, several coins, and a paper containing the following:

The church will be built of Island stone, and when finished will reflect much credit on the Catholics of Sturgeon parish. Mr, W. C. Harris, of this city, is the architect. Mr. Wilmot of Moncton, N. B., is the builder.

Tho Tracadie Tea. IN THE BIG BARN.

A Splendid Day, and the Largest Gathering of the Season.

—_—_—_—_—__ ooo

Wuerrner it was the delightful weather, or the popularity of Father McIntyre, vr the good reputation of the Tracadie people, or the desire to see the big barn, or all combined, —certain it was that an unusual- iy large number of persons were induced to attend the tea party held yesterday on the beautiful grounds of MeDonala of Glenala dale. It is computed.that from four to tive thousand were present, including men prominent in church and state, and women of every degree of beauty and fashion. Though an election is not now pending, both representatives of the County in the House of Commons, were there,-—the senor to note (and doubtless report to an assem- bled parliament) the prosperity apparent in the fine horses, tine carriages and well dressed people; and the junior to expatiate on the beauties and wonders of the cakes and distribute te the highest bidders. Mr. Ferguson was there, too, enfumille, enjoying the pleasure of seeing his untaxed constituents delighting themselves, and many patronized the merry-go-round —while his opponent in the political field, familiarly and lovingly known as Donald Allan— ‘‘tript the light fantastic toe,” and won smiles and admiration from the ‘lasses assembled to share the dance in the Big Barn. Many disported themselves, all day long, in the dancing booths,—while some applied themselves all too sedulously to the guzzling of Molson’s ale, which was found on tap in sothe of the tents hard by. The ‘‘tea,” proper, was not, however, for- wotten. Thousands refreshed the inner man, and woman, by partaking of the excel- lent viands prepared by the Tea Party Coumnittee, and the receipts must have fully justified the highest anticipations. Cake for the occasion was, for the most part, supplied Ly the City Steam Bakery, and reflected credit upon Mr. Quirk’s first-¢lass home manufactory.

THE BIG BARN

was, however, the chief feature and the chief topic of conversation... It is one of the largest and finest—if not the largest and finest—barn in all Canada. Its length is two hundred and _ seventy-seven feet; its width fifty-two feet, with a manure-house extending from the North side seventy-five feet.

In one important respect Mr. Macdon- sld’s cattle are much _ better off than the people of Charlottetown,—they have a plentiful supply of pure, clean, fresh water conveyed through pipes from a neighbor- ing spring—flowing continuously through the building, and they all obtain this prime necessity of animal and human life without going outside (to a pump) to obtain it.

The upper flat of the barn is on¢ immense room for the storage of the hay and grain produced on the farm. Some persons esti- mated that it would hold all the hay and grain producedin the whole settlement ; but in the absence of absolute proof of this assertion, we decline to acccept it. There are two points connected with this great upper flat which might with protit be noted by our farmers generally, The first is the gradual slope leading up to it at the western end, and enabliag horses with their loads, to be driven in and out of it. This slope could not have cost much. Any farmer wishing a similar one, could make it out of the clay obtained in digging a cellar. Its great advantage in the saving of labor will be appreciated by all whothave, year, after year, pitched their crops up into their lofts through holes in the outer walls, and passed itfromonelofttoanother. Instead of being pitched up, in this barn, the larger part of the crop is pitched dewh, saving the labor of at least one person, and lessening the labor of those employed at least a_ half. We commend the gradual slope as a practi- cal idea by which most of our farm- ers, who have large barns, may profit with- out incurring expense in money,

The second point to be noted in connec- tion with this flat consists in the ventilat- ing shafts which lead from the stables be- low through it to the roof above. These shafts furnish at once an escape for the im- pure air formed in the stables, and a con- venient means of conveying fodder, hay,

straw, grain, etc., to the corridors below,

from which the sheep, cattle and horses are fed. There are in the big barn ten of these shafts. An ordinary barn might be furnished with one, two or three, to the great benefit of the cattle,; which would thus be enabled to breathe good air, instead of the stinking bad air, which is character- istic of most of our stables—particularly those which are closest and warmest.

But the chief interest centres in stables and machinery hall, on. the first or ground floor. The sheep house occupies a large section in the eastern end of the building. It is well furnished with feeding- racks, which are placed around. by the walls and across the building. There are portable partitions by means of which the young sheep may be separated from the old, the ewes with flamb from those which are not, the male from the female, or one breed from another and different breed, according to the requirements ©: purposes of the farmer, On one side there is means of egress to the ever-flowing stream of pure wate before referred to, and on the other and ample enclosed yard in which the young lambs may disport themselves, and all ob- tuin exercise and open air-—so necessary to the full development of sheep.

Between the sheep-house and the horse- stable there is a corridor extending across the building, from which the sheep on one side and he horses on tlie other are fed with the hay and grain sent down through the ventilating shafts already referred to. Along the sides of this

corridor are bins containing the grain which '

is fed to the horses and sheep without loss

! ° | of time or labor.

stable contains _ stalls horses, and, box stalls for breeding mares, young horses and stallions. The mangers are all enclosed with the exception of an aperture in each sufficiently large to adinit the horse’s head. Thus, none of the hay can be thrown-under feet, and the

other, from which it passes away to the manure house adjoining. The solid manure is taken off in wheelbarrows. :

The cow stable, ccntaining stalls for thirty cattle and a number of box stalls for cows, calves, ete., is fitted up very like the horse stable. Each cow has a separate stall, which is, however, open in front. A smooth, round pole is fixed in about the middle of each stall, being fastened at floor and ceiling, and to this the animal is held by means of a sinall chain, such as are now, happily tor the cattle, in common use. The cattle are fed from a corridor in the same way as the horses and sheep, and the manure is collected and disposed of in the Saine Way.

Proc. elingwestward from the cow stable, we come to the machinery, hall,for waggons, certs an | all kinds of machinery while not in we. Large sliding doors open to it from eich sie of the barn, and no machine is so large that it cannot be driven right in.

Below this is an immense cellar capable of holding many thousands of bushels. The roots are conveyed to and from it through hatches in the floor of the machinery hall aforesaid. Mr. McDonald intends having sliding ways with open bottoms to extend from the floor to the cellar, so that without labor the earth and small potatoes may be separated from those which are marketable. The cellar has asolid frost-proof wall of stone ; but some of the farmers who saw it yesterday think that it is rather too damp and not sufticiently ventilated.

Emerging from the cellar we may, if we choose, extend our peregrinations further westward to the piggery, turkey, duck, geese and hen‘houses, all of which are fitted upin the best way, regardless of cost, and have open air pens,coops,etc. The coops for fowls are supplied with fresh water, to which the fowls have access at all times.

Between the house and the barn there is a covered way—a wooden shed—through which the farmer and his men can go_ with- out exposure. The walls of this shed can be quickly taken down in case of fire, for they are merely held to the frame-work by means of hooks.

The house is a fine brick structure, with brick partitions from the cellar to the apex

of the roof, and is said to be admirably arranged. By the way, isn’t it strange that our wealthy farmers, generally, do not build

their houses of brick or stone instead of wood. Brick and stone houses are far more durable and more comfortable, being warmer in winter and cooler in summer, while their cost is comparatively little more.

The site of the McDonald homestead is a beautiful ome, commanding a_ view

of Tracadie Bay, with a fine large field sloping gently to the

water's edge; and everyone present at the tea seemed to enjoy to ‘the full the fresh- ness of the air and the pleasures of the scene.

We heard some persons complain that they were compe:led to walk from the Kail- way Station to the grounds—a distance of about a mile. But it was simply impossible to provide carriages forall. The facilities providel bythe railway were excellent, and the arrangements were well carried out by Conductors Thompson and Scott.

On the whole we think eausé was afforded for satisfaction on the part of those who held the tea and. those wh went to the tea.

Found Drowned.

THE BODY OF MARGARET LIVINGSTONE FOUND FLOATING OPPOSITE CONNOLLY’S WHARF.

Axsout seven o’elock this morning,shortly after the steamer Princess of Wales left the Steam Navigation Company's wharf for Pictou, the Pilot noticed some object floating in the water, opposite Connolly’s wharf. The steamer turned about and went over to see what the object was. On coming near it was discovered that it was the body of a woman. The officers of the stcamer at once made their discovery known to those on the wharf, and two men —John Power and Stephen O’Hare—were despatched after the body in a boat. They, assisted by some other parties, towed the body to the wharf where it was placed in one of the warehouses.

The body was identified as that of Mrs. Margaret Livingstone, who resides with her daughter, Mrs. William Macdonald, on King Street West, and who has. been miss- ing from her home since an early hour yesterday morning. She was about sixty- five years of age. The poor woman has been subject to melancholy turns of late, and it is supposed that while laboring under one of these she wandered away from the house and walked over the wharf. She was an honest,hard working woman and her sad ending is much regretted by all who knew her.

Coroner Conroy was notified of the find- ing ot the body, and the following jury were empannelled :—

M. P. Hogan, Foreman.

Thomas Hickey.

Peter Clerkin.

Daniel Macdonald,

John Slackford.

George W. Gardiner.

C. Howard Dingwell. After viewing the body the jury adjourn-

ed to meet again at 7.30 this evening, in the Stipendiary Magistrate’s courtroom, where the inquest will be held.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Howlett’s Statements Denied.

Srr,—I have neither leisure nor desire to ‘“‘war” with D. Howlett or any of the ** noisy crew,”

The paragraph in your issue of the 16th reads, ‘‘ several members (not offieers) of the Army were admonished.” This proves Howlett in error, and your statement (being unquestioned) correct.

You further stated that on Monday even- ing ‘‘the Army passed the same locality, viz.: along Kent Street. did not pass T, Chappelle’s (Prince Street ) on Monday evening. Suth quibbling on the part of this ‘‘ defender of the faith” is contemptible.

The public will notice that no attempt is made to ever question the accuracy of the concluding portion of your paragraph. Further evasion of the facts by any cham- pion of the Army can be made when the case is called for trial, as it is not a subject for newspaper controversy.

Yours truly, THeo. L. CHAPPELLE.
