Tre Reform Club Singing Class was postponed until Saturday, the 6th inst., at 8 o'clock, p. m., in consequence of Mrs. Yeoman’s lecture in the Hall on Thursday night.

Frer.---The barn of Mr. Wm. Walker, Lot 17, was, on Monday night, burned to the ground. It contained two fine horses, all Mr. Walker’s crop, and many utensils. Liow the fire orignated is not known.

Tue semi-annual sbooting match of Capt. Longworth’s Company fur the Company’s Silver Cup, and other valuable prizes will take place to-morrow, Saturday, at 10 o'clock, a. m., sharp, on the Kensington Rifle Range.

Reaatra.—A number of townsmen met on Satnurdoy evening and appointed a Com- mittee to have a regatta in Geoigetown harbor on the 16th inst. A subscription list was opened and over $50 voluntarily subscribed to the fund. The list of prizes and other details will be found in another column. The names of the gentlemen composing the Committee are a sufficient guarantee that every precaution will be taken to make the regatta a success. The harbor at this place is unrivalled in the Gulf, and affords splendid facilities for having a first-class regatta ; and, as a num- her of fast craft are expected from other parts, we anticipate some lively competi- tion. — Advertizer.

A vTattormnc establishment in Dock street, St. John, has a card in the window with: ‘‘Wanted—Several steady Girls to help on Pantaloons.” Yesterday afternoon a countryman could be seen gazing earn- estly into the window, and reading this notice over. At last he mustered up courage to enter the store. ‘‘Mister,” he said to one of the clerks, “‘be that true,” pointing to the notice in the window. He was told that it was, and that if he hed any girls who understood the business, to send then. ‘‘Weel, darn my eyes if ever I heard the like,—a feller that can’t help on hia own pantaloons ought to be ashamed to ask help to do it,”—and he hurried out of the store, followed by the peals of laughter which were sent after him.--St. Johan Sun.

ADVANCE IN THE Prics or Porators.—A defective potatoe crop in New England,this season, has led to a sinart ddvatice in the

rice of potatoes. One. day last week, no ess than 20. cars, containing 300 bushels each came down the St. Andrew’s railroad from the upper country and went on direct to Boston. The rs of potatoes at St. Stephen and Calis lately have been very large. The lowest price for good potatoes at St. Stephen is $1.10 per barrel; the New England potatoe-growers being ‘ protect- ed” by a duty of 15 cents a bushel, the con- sumers in Calis have to pay $1.55 a barrel for the same article. This advance in the nrice of potatoes will do much to enrich the people of the Upper St. John, a locality that may be called the Aroostook of New Brunswick, It is quite as good a country as the Maine territory.-—St. John Tel.

Tas Hauirax Civic Exections.—The annual election of a Mayor and six Alder- men took place yesterday; and, as usual,

Japan.

Japan is a wonderful country, and she is at present engaged in some very costly and important public works. She has just com- pleted two railways, dne from Yokohama to Tokio, and the other from Piogo to Kioto. Telegraphic lines connect Hakodaty with Nagasaki. The mineral resources are being developed with better methods than before, while never was more attention paid to tle soil and husbandry of the country. coasts are now lighted by 34 light-houses, three light-ships, sixteen buoys and five beacons. Japansse steamers ey between the seaports of Japan and the China, Corea, and the Rio Kiu , and even make an occasional trip to England. Her postal sys- tem is also a marvel of practical utility, as is shown by the Japanese Postmaster Gen eral’s report for last year: Letters (ordi- naty mailed), 22,053,430; letters (regis- tered), “606,354 ; post cards, 6,764,272; newspapers, 7,372,536; books, patterns, etc., ,645; free communications, 856,-

Tyson’s Expedition.

STORY OF THE ARCTIC EXPLORER—THE SULT OF THE VOYAGE SATISFACTORY.

RE-

New York, Oct. 1.—A despatch is print- ed, dated St. Johns, N. F., Sept. 30, from | Captain Tyson, stating that he arrived in Cumberland Gulf (from New London, Aug. 2, 1877, aftera voyage of forty-one days.) ) All the Esquimauxs had been engaged and he secured only one boats crew. He sailed thence to Anatook harbor, where he passed last winter and spring, collecting quite a number of skins to be made into clothing for the projected Howgate Arctic expedi- tion. On breaking up of winter quarters he went to Greenland, and arrived at Dris- co on the last day of July and waited until the 22nd of August, 1878, for the Govern- ment expedition, which of course did not reach there, not having been sent as expect- ed. They left and arrived in Cumberland Gulf again, discharged the Esqui- maux on the 2nd of September, and started on the return to the States. Captain Tyson concludes as follows :—With the result of the voyage there is every reason to be sa- tisfied, though the accomplishment of its immediate purposes led to no practical end, Scientific gentlemen, Kamlin and Sherman, are much pleased with their discoveries. Of the more interesting results may be mer- tioned the finding of meteoric iron in the trap rock, the addition of five species of birds to the fauna of Atlantic sea-board, and procuring of a whale’s skeleton. We have escaped sickness of any kind during the entire voyage, and procured one fine head of whalebone weighing about 1800 pounds. Mor than this, in the whaling line, it was impossible for us to do and at- tend to other duties, even had the season been an unusually good one in this respect, the fact being that it has been almost the entire failure at Cumberland.

Free Trade in Ireland.

When Ireland was in the agony of famine in 1846-7, her exports of food, of wheat, flour, oatmeal, and of cattle, were enor- mous; as Mr. O’Connell said in the Impe- rial Parliament, ‘‘ the country produced in abundance while the t_habitants were starv- ing, 80 blessed was she by Providence, so cursed by man!” Now why this terrible anomaly? Simply because Ireland had to send this produce to pay her debts to ab- sentee landlords. Soin our case; we are sending a vast bulk of produce out of the country to pay our debts. This is the way an adverse balance of trade works; it takes the production of our industry, and leaves an utter blank behind; and so a country may go on and drain its life blood away without one ounce of gold going beyond its borders.

Take another illustration. That famine which so desolated Ireland was a direct con- sequence of Protection to her native indus- trie being withdrawn in the interest of the English manufacturer. As a matter of his- tory we know that Irish manufactures having their home market secured by Pro- tection were flourishing ‘‘ to an _ extraor- dinary degree,” said Mr. O’Connell, but they were squelched to give English manu- factures the [rish market Now, Free Tra- ders, mark what followed. The people of Ireland were thus driven to agriculture as their sole employment, and her people over- stocked that field until reduced to the direst poverty, the poverty which invited the famine and fever which blasted that beautiful land, as Canada will be blasted if her people are shut up for ever to agricul- ture and her capital and capitalists driven away.— Mail.

There is no medicine prescribed by physi- cians, or sold by Druggists, that carries such evidence of itssuccess and superior virtues as BoscHEr’s GERMAN Syrup for severe Coughs, Colds settled on the breast, Consumption, or any disease of the Throat and Lungs. A proof of that fact is that any person afflicted, can get a Sample Bottle for 10 cents and try its

REDUCTION IN PRICE! NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC!

Public that the price of SYDNEY COAL has been

a price which it is hoped will place it within the reach of all consumers.

The opening of the new winning at *‘ THE SYDNEY MINES” and the fact that the

cent improvements in the process of screening,

very superior quality and condition of the SYDNEY COAL now offered for sale.

It is a well-know fact that for many years

ast the prices of other Cape Breton coals have

en regulated by the rates fixed for SYDNEY COAL; but while it is true that other coals, to get a sale at all, have been pressed on the market at various prices under the current rate of SYDNEY COAL, it is no less true that, taking into account the superior lastin qualities of SYDNEY COAL when compare with other Cape Breton coals, the advantage, both as to economy and convenience, is in favor of SYDNEY COAL, even at a much higher price.

The General Mining Association (Limited) regret that they should again have to caution the Public against the attempts being made from time to time to induce them to buy in-
