To the Editor of the BReaminer a

Srr,—In the Patriot of yesterday's date a letter may be seen over the signature of ‘Jack,” which, when read by any unbiassed man, will very clearly demonstrate the feeling of some of our *‘True Blues.” Now, in re- gard to the Hon. the Mia‘ster of Marine and Fisheries, it will also show very plainly the disordered state of ‘‘Jack’s’ mind, whilst it bespeaks the desire the Pafriot man has of en- deavoring to belittle Mr. Pope. It is not seceasary to rebut ‘‘Jack’s” charges in the order he places them (and has them on the brain.) Suffice to say that none of them are true. But, in justice to the public, I must be permitted to correct some of them. Jack, of the Patriot's staff of writers, says that whilst the 8. S. ‘Northern Light” was (to use his words) tred to the wharf at Gevigetown for sixieen days at a time—and during one week of this time we had no mails via the Capes; and that there was open water nearly up to the wharf. These and a host of equally un- truthful charges are sent broadcast by our modern ‘‘giant killer.” Theyare not true ; and why any man in his senses would write or pub- lish such glaring untruths, is queer to many, as every person who chooses to knowanything, knows that since the mails were taken by the ice-boats, they have been crossing most re- gularly and intend to continue so, and not be a week, or half a week, at any time, nor have they been without crossing. Some excuse could be made for the weak and venemeus attacks made by the Patriot and its friends during the campaign; but common respect should now forbid the Pet- riot’s correspondents and the editor also from showing their bad feelings. The fact of Sir John having been triumphantly called to the front, with such men as Messrs. Pope and Brecken to represent this Island, should closely and effectually seal their lips-—unless there were some grounds for, complaint. There are a few in this country who still con- tinue to bark and harp, and would fain ¢arry out their ‘dog in the manger” policy. They appear to dread the idea of the Northern Light being placed between the Capes, and hence the charges of ‘‘ Jack” having a double object in view—one to damage (if he could) the reputation of the M. of M. & F., and the other to mislead the people in regard to the successful chances of the Northern Light at the Capes. Jtis a well-known fact that if a properly-constructed and equipped steamer were at the Capes, she could speedily and safely cross the Straits on certain days every week ; and, until such a steamer is placed there, with the ice-boats—under tlie guidance of their experienced captains—our winter’ mail and freight arrangement will not be complete.

{n conclusion, permit me to tell ‘‘ Jack” not to repeat’such groundless charges.

Yours, &e., Care TRAVERSE, Prinee County, Feb. 21st, 1879.

County Line Notes.

John Mayne’s large barn was completely unroofed in the gale. :

A choice ball was held in the house of Mr. Michael May, on the night that the storm commenced; and the question was, *‘ How can we get home?’ and the question is :** How did they get home?’ With great struggling amidst the unfriendly snow-drift. Some: of the young lady's suffered sorely. Whilst many uneasy young couples remained and freely peron. of Mr. May’s hospitality during last

riday and night, and ethers had to betake themselves and escorts to other charitable ncighbors for shelter, &c.

The idea of a'starch factory on this stream is fast growing in the minds ofthe people in this vicinity.

There is now a good beaten road to Cape Traverse from here.

Dog Trains.

The deg in the Northwest is considered of more value and importance than is usually attached to that animal in a more civilized country. In order to reach places at a dis- tance the dog train is our only and most re- liable source of travelling at the present time. In general five dogs constitute a team, and they are valued at from fifty to one hundred dollars. The harness, when manufactured by a saddler, is worth twenty-five dollars per set, or five dollars for one single harness. A team when in good order, with a driver and one passenger, will average between sixty and seventy miles per day, and when loaded will haul six or seven hundred weight.

THe Frorr Cror.—Ex-Governor Furnas, of Nebraska, stated at a recent. horticul. tural meeting that the fruit crop.of, the United States, in 1877, was estimated at $143,000,000. If shippers to foreign markets will build up a reputation for sup- plying only the best in quality, the export- ing value of the crop will greatly increase.
