Tae pressure of the freight and passen-

of placing another steamer on that route—at least during fall and spring. ‘The Steam Navigation Com-

pany, with one boat, have done all they could do—have worked night and day,have oceasionally sent a second steamer to the

assistance of the one cn the route, and still have been unable to meet the require- ments of shippers; while, with the utmost care, they have not been able, when carry- ing large numbers of horses, sheep and cattle, to keep the steamers so comfortable as they should be for passengers.

A small, smart steamer, that would make the trip to Point du Chene in from two to two and a-half hours, is needed for the mails and passengers, and a larger boat is required for the carriage of freight as long as Summerside and Shediac harbors ramainj vpen for navigation.

The Government are, no, doubt looking forward to the utilization of the Capes route; but the building of piers and the formation of harbors will necessarily occupy some time—a very long time if the rate of progress is not more rapid than it has been in past In the meanwhile, a

Anniversary Celebration.

THE second anniversary of Hopeful Division, at Travellers Rest, was celebrated on Saturday evening by a capital entertain ment, consisting of readings, recitations and speeches. The schovlhouse at ‘The Corner” was packed. Thomas Townsend, Esq., occupied the chair. The following is the programme prepared for the occasion, and it was supplemented by short addresses from Messrs. James Car- ruthers, L. U. Fowler and Benjamin Rogers :—

The people of this Province should, in our opinion, try to place their products upon the market, not asraw materials, but as nearly as possible fit for use by the con- sumer. Having now a flouring mill, which will be ready for work in about four or five weeks, would it not be a good idea some of our people to consider whether or not it Would not pay to have a large oat- meal mill? Oats are a surer crop than wheat ; and while it doesn’t, under almost any circumstances, pay to raise large quan- tities of oats, we must grow a certain juantity, larger than is needed for home Would it not be better to send our surplus abroad in the shape of oatmeal, than sell our raw oats to thesship- pers for from 26cts, to 30cts We are a

Tue law of love and peace does not, at present, prevail in the Gritcamp. Mr. John Valentine Ellis, of the St. John Globe, and Liberal (?) M. P. for the city, representing the Annexation wing of the combination, has been of late voicing his pet scheme, and the loyal soul of the Telegraph is moved with indignation. The Telegraph calls upon Mr. Ellis to resign. It says :—

‘The Liberal party, hitherto led by and composed of loyal men, cannot afford to bear the odium of an annexationist among their representatives. We cannot conceive of Mr. Ellis again taking his seat among the loyal Commons, knowing what must await him there. Let him resign, and at once cnd the

itiful chapter. By so doing he will relieve 1is party of a load too great for any party to carry, save the Commons the necessity of applying an extreme penalty, and give St. John the opportunity to elect a representa. tive who will be ‘faithful and true’ to the sovereign in a sense that Mr. Ellis can never be. Does he await a requisition? If so, he can be accommodated.

‘* It is our misfortune that he speaks from the elevation accorded to a representative of the people, a relation soon, we hope, to be terminated. His'slanders of the people of St. John and of Canada in this regard will fall upon willing ears across the line, and there is danger that they may be believed. Whether that be so or not, the will to injure Canada, and so to further a traitorous scheme is doubly apparent in the time chosen for the assault. It is therefgre of the more importanee that Mr. lis Fapostary should be “promptly exposed an&®rebuked.”

—We have to thank the Patriot for pointing out the error which was made in adding vp the Bank returns which appeared in Tae Examiver on Wednesday last. The addition was, it is needloss to say, inad- vertantly inserted—the interition of Tuer EXaMIiNeR being merely to give Mr. Mac- leed’s statement with the figures from the Savings Bank added. The Patriot can eackle over the blunder till doomsday— that will not change the fact that Mr. Macleod’s exhibit of the standing of the Province at the Banks was, by an error of omission, wrong to the tune of nearly $2,000,000, which have been invested in Dominion securities since 1876. Had the Patriot desired to promote the truth as well as point out the error, it might have explained tha: our farmers care as little tu invest their savings in trade speculations as they do to deposit them in the chartered banks; and that the large increase of de-

posits at the Savings Bank does not indi-

California Tours.

The many advantantages presented by the California Winter Trips, managed by Messrs. Raymond & Whitcomb, have made these tours exceedingly popular. To begin with they afford the passenger every pos- sible latitude in selecting his route to and from California, his time and place of so- journ on the Pacific Coast, and the time of his return. He can cover every day of his stay with hotel conpons, good at any of the leading resorts, or wander abeut at his own pleasure. When he is ready to return, he may either travel with a party on a special train, or go independently. His expenses are in any case, already paid, and the ** little red ticket books” will be found a passport to the beat that can be had on rail- ways and at hotels. In his homeward journey, the same as in his cutward trip, he travels on the t:nest cars ever built, and on which the most luxurious accommoda- tions are reserved for his special use. A special feature of: chese excursions is that Pullman palace dining-cars or Pulman pal- ace hotel cars are’ placed on every train, and run through the entire jovrney. Thus meals are insured at regular hours regard- less of time, place and circumstance. It will be seen at once that the patrons of these trips secure many special comforts and avoid many annoyances inseparable from ordinary travel. The same may be said of the Mexico tours, of which there are to be two this season, January 16 being the date of departure of the first. The California parties will leave Boston January 2, 12, 16 and 23. Desciiptive circulars of either the California or Mexico trips may be obtained of W. Raymond, 296 Washing- ton Street, opposite School Street, Boston, Tass.

THE CAUSK A MYSTERY.

B., Dee. 19. About 2 o'clock on Saturday afternvon a mixed train with a stack-house snow plough ahead, lett Caraquet for Bathurst in charge of Conductor D, J. Kearney and Engineer MeLamagan. ‘The train ran along without trouble or unusual delay until it approach-

ed the bridge at McIntosh, over the Caraquet River, a distance of about 34 miles from Bathurst, when the driver perceived a large bank of snow

in the cutting on the Lathurst or western end of the bridge which would need clear- ing. Mr. Lanagan at once whistled down brakes, reversed his engine, and brought the train toa standstill. The snow plough, detached

irom the balance of the train, which was leit stam! oe on the track, the intention being to run back for them as soon as the drift had been pierced. rey,

‘here were a number of hands

en the train who went along to assist In removing the snow. There was no snow cn the bridge and nothing but a clear track between the spot where the train had halt- ed and the huge drift on the other side of the structure. Under a good head of steam the snowplow, engine and tender dashed forward, the driver’s intention being to strike the obstruction with as much force as possible, but when about half way across the bridge, the snow- plow left the track and _ follow. ed by the engine and cab, mounted the guard rail, where they each seemed to Lang an instant, and plunged into the river, a distance of fiteen feet, hurling eight men into eternity and severely injur- ing five others. The sight was a terrible one to those who had been left behind in the cars on the other side of the bridge, bat hurrying to the spot they did all in their power to rescue the wounded. How the accident occurred is a mystery, even to those who saw the catastrophe. Of the five itjured men it is impossible to speak with accuracy, but it is feared that least two out of them will die.

Results of a Passion Feast.

Tuma, Ala,, Dec. 18.

Wm. W. Jordan, a crazy faith doctor living here azyear, has great influence over negroes and said he had come to re- deem the Jews. He arranged a passion feast at the house of two negro women this

morning and told them a_ sacrifice was necessary. Francis Driver said she Was willing tu offer her- self and laid her head ona table. Jor-

dan took a sword, struck her several blows ev the neck, and stabbed her a number of tiines, killing her instantly. The bedy wis then dragged into the street by two other women. A white woman vho wit- nessed the affair gave the alarm, and the police, after a terrible struggle, overpowered Jordan and conveyed him to the city prison. The negroes are greatly excited, anid threats of lynching are made.

Shortening the Distance.

Mr. Diggles, a New York capitalist, who is here in connection with the Calgary and Peace River Railway charter, has originated one of the most extensive schemes ever contemplated for reducing the passage between America and Europe to a mini- mum. His plan isa railway from Quebec to the most easterly point of Labrador, where safe harbors abound. He says the voyage could be made to England in three anc. one half days.
