A MARVELOUS STORY
TOLD IN TWO LETTERS.
FROM THE SON: “Aa8sSSsr
York, Oct. 28, 1882.
‘Gentlemen: My father resides at Glover, Vi. He has been a great sufferer from Scrof- ula, and the inclosed letter will tell you what a 1arvelous effect
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla
has had in his case. I think his blood must have contained the tumor for at least ten years; but it did not show, except in the form of ascrofulous sore on the wrist, until about five vears ago. From a few spots which ap- peared at that time, it gradually spread soas to cover his entire body. [ assure you he was terribly afflicted, and an object of pity, when he began using your medicine. Now, there are few men of his age who enjoy as good health as he has, I could easily name fifty persons who would testify to the facts in his case. Yours iruly, W. M. PHILLIPS.”
FROM THE FATHER: jicssce tna
s pleasure ang a duty for me to state to you the benefit I have derived from the use of
Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
Six months ago 1 was completely covered with a terrible humor and scrofulous sores. The humor caused an incessant and intolerable itching, and the skin cracked e0 as to cause the blood to flow in many places whenever I moved, My sufferings were great, and my life a barden. I commenced the use of the SARSAPARILLA in April last, and have used it regularly since that time. My condition began to improve at once, The sores have all healed, and I feel perfectly well in every respect — being now able to do @ good day’s work, although 73 years of age. Many inquire what has wrought auch a cure in my case, and < tell them, as I have here tried to tell you, AYER’s SARSAPARILLA. Glover, Vt., Oct 21, 1882. Yours gratefully, : Hrigam PHILLIPS.”
AYER’s SARSAPARILLA ctres Scrofula and all Scrofaious Complaints, Erysip- elas, Eczema, Kingworm, Blotches, Sores, Bolls, Tumors, and Eruptions of the Skin, It clears the blood of all impn- rities, aids digestion, stimulates the action of the bowels, and thus restores vitality and Strengthens the whole system.

The Lobster Trade.
Sir,—Probably very few people outside the lobster workers—and perhaps few of those take the trouble to ascertain—have any idea of the number of lobsters taken and packed in any one season on this Island. I hand you a memorandum show- ing the approximate number caught for packing, exclusive of those for local markets brought in in the shell.
The quantity packed shows the catch to be approximate in number to 230,235, and 297 lobsters fer each inhabitant, for years 1881, 1882 and 1884, and of valce for same years to $115,000, $117,000, and $143,000 to the fishermen, at one half cent each lobster, the price I understand they are paid, all after expense, as well as cutfit of traps, packing, come out of the packers, and their expenses for the season are heavy.
Previous to 1879 three lobsters would probably for some years fill a one pound ean.

E. L. Lyprarp,
A Contradiction.
Sir,—In the last issue of your weekly paper, under the heading of Vernon River Notes, we notice a report that a picnic was held in Vernon River in aid of buildings in course of erection by Messrs. Vickerson and Acorn. We may hardly say that such a report is as false as the scribler that aigued himself ‘‘Marmion,” is mean.
In connection with the picnic that was held in Vernon River on the 11th inst., we may just say that it was got up by the un- dersigned committee for an afternoon’s pleasure and recreation, and it is absolutely untrue that it was in afd of Messrs. Vicker- son’s and Acorn’s new buildings or anything else.
Mr. Vickerson lent us the grouad for the eceasion, bat that had nothing whatever to do withthe picnic. Mr. Acorn was re- quested by us to provide a saloon, which he did, and he was nothing more than re- munerated for his trouble in doing so.
We would have treated ‘“‘Marmion’s” notes with the silent contempt they deserve, only we thought it fair to Messrs. Vickerson and Acorn to contradict such a mean lying report.
Pur J. Lane, Joun A. McEacuern, Henry J. VicKERSON, Committee. Vernon River, Aug. 24, 1885.
A Correction.
Sir,—In your issue of 21st, under the heading of ‘*Vernon River Notes,” again appears the scribbling of the Mill-View crank, signing himself ‘‘Marmion.” Any rational being who reads his notes, must come to the conciusion that they are the romancings of an injured brain. Messrs. Vickerson & Acorn are able to finish the buildings they are erecting without the aid of a picnic or ‘‘Marmion,” who, no doubt, wrote the Vernon River Notes, thinking they would act as a suggestion to the public to get up a picnic or donation in aid of a cot for himself and his lately-abducted partner, who are living at present in rather @ primitive state.
If his Scriptural benediction to Vernon River Notes had been taken from 58th verse of 9th chapter of St. Luke’s Gospel, it would have been mere appropriate to himself.
Now, Sir, I think the public should not overlook ‘‘Marmion’s” intended suggestion, as harvest will soon be over and there will be plenty time to get up such for his bene- fit. Then he will be able te exclaim in sincerity, ‘‘our lines are truly fallen in pleasant places !”
J Ack,
Canada‘s Credit.
Mr. G. W. Yarker, General Manager of the Federal Bank, who has just returned from a visit to England, thus speaks of the improving credit of Canada and Canadien securities in the London market :
‘One of the most encouraging financial features to Canada is that the great bank- ing house of Barings, after, as I was in- formed, full consideration, unhesitatingly undertook to bring out the issue of £3,000,- 000 stg., Canadian Pacific Rrilway 5 per cent, bonds at the company’s own price, 95, and so great was the demand that the firm closed the lists at 4 v’clock on the second day of the publication of the prospectus. It is not satisfactory ex- clusively tothe Canadian Pacific Railway that their securities have a‘ last got a solid footing in London and atiracted the atten- tion of such an eminent banking honee, but the fact is brimful of importance to every Canadian interest in Great Britain, and it does not require a great reach of imag nation to foretell that the balance of the 1esue (£4,000,000 stg.) held by the Government as security for advances need not necessarily be locked up very long in the vaults at Ottawa. It was also gratifying to jearn that the £4,000,000 stg. Govern- ment 4 per cent. bonds were subscribed for three times over, and I heard that, although a leading Canadian monetary institution had the public spirit to bid for a round million sterling, it did not get a pound, owing solely to the outbidding of the investing public,”

Lord Melgund’s Views.
t oe
The Nineteenth Century for August hos a timely paper on the Northwest Rebellion, accompanied by a map, from the vigorous pen of Viscount Melgund, the Governor- /General’s military secretary. Lord Mel- jguud treats the subject from a military ean point, and his contribution on that account, to the literature of the episode in our history, is especially interesting and useful. The campaign in the fer West, he says, was undertaken ata day’s warning, and brilliantly bronght to a close in a few weeks. He begins his narrative back at the events of fifteen years ago, when Louis Riel placed himself at the head of the in- surrection of 1870, aud made war on the Government of Canada. The story of that emeute is truthfully told, and matters are brought down to March, 1885, when ‘almost without warning, we found our- selves face to face with an organized rebel- lion.” The cause of the uprising is stated fairly and clearly. As our readers are familiar with the story, we shall not stop to recount it here. Lord Melgund thinks that, looking behind the scenes, we may discover much white sedition. ‘We shall see,” he says, ‘“‘that Riel and Gabriel Dumont were not counting only on their half-breed and red-skin rifles, but on the support of white men, who they had been gulled into believing would stand by them. Riel put his fighting men in his first line, but in his second line we may perhaps find the disappointed white contractor, the dis- appointed white land shark,the disappointed white farmer. There have been much bigger interests at stake than Metis claims.”
We may print here the concluding para- graph of Lord Melgund’s able paper. It will be seen that his Lordship is of opinion that, on the whole, rebellion will not prove disastsous to Canada.
**One the whole, the rebellion will do good, It will render necessary a searching inquiry into the system of government of the Northwest, the system of Indian agencies, and the means to be employed for the future ruling of the country. Im- migration may be checked fer a year or two, but in future the immigration will be safer than it hasever been before. Prince Albert and Battleford have no doubt suffer- ed heavily, but settlers genera/ly will have heveticted by the visit ci the troops, while the insurrection hae unilel] in one common cause all the Provinces of the Dominion ; battalions from Manitoba, Ontario, the Maritime Provincea sand Quebec, have served side by side in the field ; and while French-Canadians mey reasonably hope that their blood relations may bave a fair trial, they have as loyally condemned the rebellion as the people of Ontario.
‘The military experience gained will be valuable. When the campaign commenced the militia départment knew nothing of the capabilities of its officers in the field, now many reputations have been made, and it will know in future what command- ers it can rely on. The faults of the militia system have been brought into relief, and every good Canadian soldier must hope that the department which has done so well will seize the opportunity of disallowing, once for all, the unmilitary outside influences, which through custom have so often prevailed in purely military questions.
‘*It has been General Middleton’s lot to command the first volunteer or civilian soldiers who have been in action. And most gallantly have men and officers done their work. The men of his force were almost universally of the same class as our English volunteers—clerks in offices, mechanics, tradesmen. They were not soldiers by trade. Excellent meterial, splendid marchers, apt to learn, possessed of much handiness and ingenuity, espe- cially with the axe, but unaccoustomed to the work required of them, and with no time allowed them to gain experience, they went straight from their homes into action. The risk of much loss of life in a force so composed is an exceptionally heavy riek for a commander to incur, and no man in Gea, Middleton’s column is likely to forget their chief's generuus solicitude for the safety of his troops. An unseen enemy is always a trying one, especially for an inexperienced force.

The Cardwell Election.
(Montreal Gazette, Aug. #1.)
The nomination of candidates for the re- presentation of Cardwell, rendered vacant by the acceptance of office by Mr. Thomas White, occurred yesterday. It was thought that the Minieter of the Interior would be elected by acclamation, but it ap- pears that a contest is to be had after all, not caused by opponents of the, Govern- ment, but by a local Conservative, who, for some unexplained reason, deems it his duty to enter the field, Our advices from the county are to the éffect that Mr. White will be elected ky at least as large a majority as in 1882, on which occasion it all but reach- ed three hundred and fifty, im a total vote of twenty-one hundred. It is impossible to say whether or not the Liberal party is be- hind Dr. Aliison, but we rather incline to the opinion that he has thrust oimself for- ward of his own accord, and there is no doubt that he will fail to make any serious inrcad into the Conservative vote. The re- port of the proceedings at the nomination yesterday intimates the currency ol @ story that Dr, Allison contemplates rotiring, and his failure to appear on the piatiorm yester- day may be teken to eupport this view. Whatever may be lis intentions, there is no reason to doubt Mr. White’s return by an emphatic majority.
