—Having adopted the **New Staodard Time,” some of the railways are still unhappy; end it is rumored that the Canada Southern will probably adopt the “24 o'clock system.”

—The Montreal Gazefte says that “‘if the gilt of noble rauk be a proper mode eognizing peeiic worth, no man lives or has lived on whom it could be

‘Tenuyson. —The Londonderry Iron Works,

which are uow temporarily in difficulty |

owing tothe purchase of a coal mine, the | cost of which was be nyo ud their resources, | employ 800 men and pay out for wages $400,000 a year.

—At the final meeting of the Com missiouers, Who mavaged the Dominion and Centennial Exhibition at St. John. a deficit of about $5000 was reported. The expenditures include about $20,000 ou exhibition buildiogs.

—In connection with the registration of several Clydesdales which were ex- ported irem Glasgow to America durisg the summer,two arrests have been made. It is alleged that several charges of forgery and uitering ful-e schedules will be preferred.

—The Canada Pacific Railray have now in operation over 3.000 miles of telegraph wire. These liaes extend from Port Arthur to the Reckies, and radiate to the chief points in the Northwest. Doring the mouth of September we are told has handled some 25,000 paid messages, which is consider- | ed good business for the first month of a new line in anew country. In October their there an iverease iv the number of me-sages by 5,000, with a corresponding increase iv the recep's; aud the same might be said of Novem- ber. Itis hoped the Company's lines will next year be carried across the tockies to Kamloops, where they will connect with the lines of the Dominiou Government, and enable Canadians to telegraph to apy point of their own country at rates much cheaper than those now charged.

—Professor J. P. Sheldon began his autumn course of lectures at the College of Agriculture, at Downton, near Salis- bury, oa the 19:4 November. As an iutroduction to the course, Mr. Sheldon chose “The Position and Claims of Dairy Farming,’ In dealing with this subject be pointed ont that ao important priceiple in dairy farming was to main- tain the fertility of the soil and promote

the company

was

the growth of vutritions herbage. Agri- cultuecal lands invariably deteriorace under a herd of dairy cows more than under a herd of fattening cattle. There are two ways of keeping up the fertility of land which carries live stock—namely, by feeding the stock

ou cake aud applying mauure to the soil. When land was much out of condition crushed bones formed a most efficient and permanent fertiliser. Mr. Sheldon also stated tha! all land inEngland had suffered a loss of fertility during the past few years, on account of the heavy rains aud floods h had washed over them. He poi a out hi ou taediuvm soils dairy farming wis cartied on With most ad

yantage. Siill, all soils had suffered more or less, nad on ihose whose fer

tility had net been maintained by arti- ficial manure, it has been found that the yield of mitk or of flesh has fallen off to a degree corresponding with the de- pression of the soil. He therefore ad- vises farmers to be careful in the manage- mevt of their pastures, as the future “of dairy husboudry and milk pioduction depeuds on the atteution they gave w the He woouvmies uf the farm.

Suakim. Baker Pasha will act on defensive only, the present Egyptian forse in Soudan being entirely inadequate to any aggressive movement. Jt is rumored that England is making preparations to fortify Assouan and to hold permanently. Assouan is situated near the first cataract of the Nile, and it is} believed that should El Medhi attempt to advance upon Cairo he will be opposed at this pot by English troops. The garrison | at Sinkat under command of Ibrahim Bey | has been abandoned to its fate. At last accounts the place was encompassed and | besieged by 5,000 rebels.

AND IRELAND—LAMENTABLE LOSS OF LIFE} AND PROPERTY. }

The violent gales which prevailed through- out England on Tuesday the 11th inst., caused much damage in London and the | provinces, Here are a few additional par- | ticulars: At Wolverhampton the exhibi- |

tien building, which was only partially) completed, was destroyed by the storm he gale was especially severe in Ireland, | Scotland and North Wales. In the midland |

| counties of England huge trees were torn |

up and carried away, There was great, destruction of property and personal injary | and also loss of lif2. The low lying dis-| were flooded. A| large gesholder near Bradford capsized. Two | large chemical works at Widnes were dam: aged. Fears are entertained for the | safety of the channel steamers which sailed | before the storm. A SHIP WAS SUNK

at the Albert dock, Thames river, at Lei- cester. Carriage works were destroyed at! Birkenhead. On the Mersey great damage | was done. The chief ines of a steamer | just arrived from Glasgow was blown upon | the quay and killed. In Liverpool cabs) were overturned in the streets and many buildings damaged. A ship was blown from her moorings in Belfast (ireland) harbor. At south Shields, near the mouth of the Tyne, vessels broke adrift in the harbor and three wherries sunk. The British ship Liverpool, Capt. Davidson, from Quebec Nov. 7th for Greenvck, is a total wreck near Gueanteue, Scotland.

NINETEEN OF THE CREW WERE DROWNED. only one man and a boy being saved. The

ship has gone to pieces and the lcargo is washing ashore. A_ por- tion of the town of Porssmonth is} flooded. Navigation by ferry steamers nt | Liverpool was greatly interfered wiih. At Hartlepool many ships were damaged. At

Hull two persons were killed and several injured. At Birmingham two persons were kilied and a number of others injured. Three persons were killed at Manchester by a falling house. At Dewsburg three per- sons were killed. At Chester a man was blown down in the street and killed,

TWO PERSONS WERE KILLED

at Liverpedze, Yorkshire. The British bark ‘Carrie Delap,” ane Lewis, at Glasgow fom Bathurst, N ‘. B., was severely

damaged by collision. The British brig ‘Mary Johus,” at Bristol from St. John’s, N, F., lost bulworks and stanchions and apparently much damaged. A _ boat was wrecked while entering Galway harbor and four persons drowned. At Newry, Ireland, the gale was vory severe destroying much proporty and bendiog Iamp posts in the streets. A postal telegraph imspector was ent in halves at Leeds. ‘Several vessels docked in the Mersey were damaged. Two vessels were wrecked at Dunare, near Ayr, Scotland, and two men drowned. The Lowlands of West Lancashire and in the Garstrong district on the Wsre river were flooded. At Glasgow the damage to pro- perty was very great.

The result of the election in Boston, on Tuesday, for civic officers, was that Gen. Augustus P. Martin was elected Mayor for the : year begioning Jan. 1, 1884 by a major- ity over his opponent, Alderman Hugh O’Brien, of, io round numbers, 1,500 votes, in a total vote of about 53,500, the largest ever cast in a muncipal contest in that city by something like 6,500 votes. The citizens and Republicans secured a majority | v in both branches of the city government, aud they elected nearly ali the School Com- mitiee. The efforts of the temperance and the ladies to get a Nu-License vote failed, the city again voting to license the liquor traffic,

Notes from Souris West. The weather is unusually mild for this time of the year.

Oats are being shipped from Souris, and ‘thousands of bushels more await the same process had we vessels to carry them,

Rumor says that the branch of the Tem- ‘ance Alliance established in Souris East is ‘doing good work. Seizures of liquors and the arrest of law-breaking rumsellers are now in order. It is high time something was done to teach a lesson to such people. merchants of the locality should do some- thing to remove such a standing disgrace from their midst. People. want to kn OW, if half a dozen rumeellers are going _to be allowed to defy law and order mach longer. As far as we know of, Souris West has only one rumshop, But Souris East has lately opened another, with a shooting gallery, etc., combed, to lead youth to distruction. Heaven knows we have a suf- ficient number of such low disreputable places, and it is not to the credit of Souris East that they allow an increase in their numbers. It is Jittlhe wonder that Souris has such an unsavory reputation in many quarters, and leading merchants and some others are much to blame for their inactiv- ity against such places. Men who will not take tlie side of temperance in the present

| phaze of the struggle, are more injury than

good in a community.

happolie’s Island Almanac has arrived. It is yood and ciieap, and on the whole deserving of much praise. At the same | time there is some necesaity for an ‘‘erratta” jat the end, There are some omissions in | published lists, and we have the names of officials inserted who resigned long ago, and the change is not recognized, Just a little more particularity would have made the Almanac perfectly reliable. Even as it is it is well worth the fifteen cents charged or it.

To-day one or two other vessels entered the harbor to ship produce.

The Assistant Commissioners of Public Lands visited Souris East this week. Their receipts are reported satisfactury, though not very large here.

Itis to be hoped that storm signals, public buildings, fog horn, and Souris Rail- way station, frequently mentioned by your regular Souris correspondent, will not be forgotten. They are all necessary, and the Government has as much right to attend to this Province, as to British Calumbia or Manitoba,
