Sir Richard Cartwright said the debt of Canada has been incurred solely for public works, which have served to open up and develop the country, and the St. John Sun remarks that these works will suffice for 40,000,000 of people almost as well as for 4,000,000; so that as our pupulation increases, our debt per head is likely to decrease.

—The Board of Trade, at St. John a few days ago, took into consideration the projected Ship Railway between the Bay of Fundy and Bay Verte ; and by an uvavimous vote, endorsed the plau of H. J. C. Killam, C. E. It is claimed that by means of the Canal the dangerous navigation of the Altantic off the Nova Scotia shores will be avoided by vessels sailing from ports on the St. Lawrence to St. John, Boston, etc ., and the distance wil! be shortened some six hundred miles. As projected, it will carry laden steamers aud vessels of 1,000 tons dis- placement , and should it be built, it will certainly be a great advantage to our agricultural, fishing and shipping inter- ests. It is to be hoped that the Com- pany formed for the purpose of building and working it, will be successful in their undertaking,

—Professor Huxley said in a recent lecture: ‘I said before, | repeat it now, that if a man cannot get literary culture of the highest kind out of his Bible, and Chaucer and Shakespeare, and Milton, and Hobbes, and Bishop Berkeley, to mention only a few of our illustrious writers—I say if he cannot get it out of those writers, he cannot get it out of anything, and [ would assuredly devote @ very large portion ov the time of every English child to the caretul study of the models of English writing of such varied and wonderful kind as we possess, and what is still more important, and, still more neglected, the habit of using that language with precision, with force, and with art. I fancy we are almost the only nation in the world who seem to think that composition comes by nature. The French attend to their own language, the Germans study theirs; but Enoglish- men do not seem to think it worth their while.”

—With reference to the failure of the Exchange Bank, the Monetary Times snys that no one ought to have been sur- prised atthe suspension. If a person ignorant of navigation is put iu charge of a ship, he is tolerably certain, sooner or later, to make a wreck of it. No attention to the business on the part of directors can save them from the conse- quevces of such a blunder as that. There are some things directors can do, and others which it is clearly impossible for them to attempt. Directors are, gener- ally, men of practical intelligence, and quite able to exercise good judgment in the selection of their chief officer. In Canada, at present, they have a large class of men with professional bank training to choose from. The antecedents and character of nearly all the men in prominent pusitions amongst the banks are perfectly well known, or may be easily ascertained. They are not all heaven-born geniuses by any means. ‘There is, in fact, a very con- siderable diversity of ability amongst them. But there are plenty of men of proved ability and intelligence in their ranks. It is therefore entirely inexcu- sable for a board of directors to select a person to take the chief mauagemeni of a bank who has had no bank training at all. Whatcould they expect but trouble?

—It was understood by his friends that Lord Salisbury was the author of a rather remarkable article on politics which appeared in the latest issue of the British Quarterly Review. A specially large edition was consequently issued, and at once fell so far short of the demand that the Conservative clubs re- printed the article, and pampbletered the kingdom with it. The article is very striking, principally for its extended political allusions to the United States. The barden of the story is that the dis- integration going on in the Conservative party is ove of the most ill-timed evils that has ever befallen England, especially since it tends to deprive the country of the services of the only organization which has ever shown itself capuble of guarding the government against the worst evils of Democracy. The supre- macy of Liberalism, it is contended,

means the predominance of Communism, |

shown all such

by present radical schemes as those intended to over- throw the land system of the country, aud encourage agrarian discon- tent. The writer says that, while England ig thus tending towards Communism and all the dangers of extreme Dem-

Ocracy, the puople of the United Stutes

| are surely but rapidly retreating from jthe ground Envland was opproaching, }and moving tow a:ds that which Englard ;was deserting, The author deplores the jfact that the American Republic has ; taken the place of England as the best ttype of Conse vatism in the world. | Now, atter the Tories have circulated ‘this article, it turns out that it was the |production of a citizen of the United | States, and was merely revised by Lord | Salisbury for the Review. Lord Salis- | bury s friends are consequently having a wood deal of fun poked at them. They ure esked why they have to go to the American Republic for campaign litera- (ure in a crusade ayaiust Republicanism, ‘and why Lord Salisbury should be sorry that the United States is pot in the same state of ruin as that which he ascribes to England.

The Cricket Match.

The cricket match played yesterday after- noon on Victoria Park grounds, between a team from H. M. S. “Griffon,” and a Phoenix team, resulted in a victory for the latter. The Pheenix having won the toss sent their opponents to bat. The first five wickets fell rapidly, and the first stand was made by Hanrahan and Davis. Hanrahan got a nice hit to leg, scoring six runs off of it. Soon after he was clean-bowled, and Martin following, another stand was made by him and Davis. The latter was well caught by Yeo, after having scored eleven runs. Weale came next but before long was caught nicely by Carvell at long leg. Martin, with eleven runs, and not out, se- cured top score, the whole side out for forty. For the Pheenix scoring was very rapid. T. LePage with 54 runs to his credit, Car- vell with 26 and not out, and Wyatt with

22, alone scored double figures. The hitting was hard and telling. Han- trahan bowled well for the Griffon,

being straight on the wicket,. pitching a

|good ball and tolerably swift. The Phoenix team was captained by L. Yeo, and the Griffon’s by Heywood. A little

sun on @RMe occasion and Jess wind would not have been by any means out of place, but as it was the game.was a very pleasant one indeed, and was enjoyed by all hands. The foilowing are the scores :—

Suicide at East Point.

A farmer named John Leo McDonald leommitted suicide by hanging himself on Wednesday last, at East Point. The de- ceased, we learn, recently returned from the United States. Since his return he has been quite melancholy, but on the day he committed the rash act he was uausually bright and high‘spirited. Previous to his suicide he spent a short time with a farmer in a field adjoining his farm, after leaving him, he went direct to his barn. He there procured a codline, and doubling it several times, adjusted a noose round his neck. Then climbing to the top of the barn he tied the rope to the line rafters and deliber- atly suspended himself in the air. Death by strangulation followed. The body was found shortly afterwards. An inquest was held and a verdict of suicide by hanging rendered.

SAD CASE OF SUICIDE~-FULL PARTICULARS.

A sad case of self-destruction has taken place quile recently not very far from here. Mr. Jolin L. Macdonald, of Munn’s road, Lot 47, hung himself last Monday—the inquest was held on Tuesday. He was very much respected among his neighbors as a quiet, industrious, peacable and sober neighbor. He was a_ carpenter by trade and had been away to the States recently, returning again about the Ist of last month, since which time he has been employed at his trade at home. He sometimes visited Souris, and friends here noticed nething unusual about him. He looked like the best of health, at the same time, when spoken to, he would

say despondingly that ‘“‘ he did not feel well.” The morning of the day on which he suicided, he looked

as if in his usual good health and spirits. Nothing particularly strange or unusual was noticed in his manner or appearance. He was not known to be in any embarrasing financial circumstances, and his family relations were said to be comfortable and pleasant, yet he ended his life in a way seamingily most cool and deliberate. There can be hardly any other opinion than that his suicide was the result of the reckless coolness,sometimes displayed under tempor- aryinsanity. He went out during the day and not returning at the usnal time, his wife thinkivg him at some neighbors, went after him. Not finding him she became uneasy, and in company with others a search was commenced. During the search—lantern in hand, for it was late—they went to the barn, and there just inside of the door, they found his boots, coat and vest. Searching further they found his body suspended by three strands of cod- line to one of the rafters. When he was taken down life was found to be extinct, and the body was quite cold. The whele atlair has cast a gloom over the entire neighborhood. The greatest sympathy is felt for his wife and three little children.

Everything wears the appearance of fall. A visit to our various stores reveals com- plete fall stocks. Mathew, McLean & Co.,

J. G. Sterns, McDonald, McDonald .& Co.. J. Morrow, Doyle & MeBride, McLean _ Bros., Sterns Bros., M. Foley, and the various other shops

display varieties to suit all classes of cus- tomers, and make the money go round.

The premises of Mr. J. R. McLean, M. P. P., are rapidly approaching a complete state of repair. All traces of the late fire will soon be wiped out.

Scott Act cases are finished in court, at present. It is to be hoped that Souris cases, will be tried in Souria for the future.

A few mackerel are still caught, but for the most part our small craft have given up the business for the season.

Mr. Marshal Pacquet, the newly appoint- ed Postmaster, locates his premises in Chapel street.

M. Foley, our custom house officer, is preparing premises for the purpose of eus- toms business.

Potatoes are being shipped, and oats are arriving to our merchants.
