A Smuggier’s Difficulties.

!

A correspondent of the Lunenburg, | N. 8. Progress says :—Last winter & philanthrophically dispesed skipper at Lallave sought to enlighten the natives thereabouts, by addressing on the “Evils of Intemperance.” That the value of these addresses might be en-

hanced by illustration, he recently pur- chased, while at St. Pierre, three casks of vin, which, with thoughtful care for the ease of the Customs Officials, he |

sought to land at Conquerall Bank, on | Saturday night, 16th instant., without | their aid. With cruel disregard of our! skipper’s considerate kindness, Official | Racolf assisted at the landing, and now | those three casks ingloriously repose | in his cellar, instead of turning a penny, though they may still point a moral, for | our honest captain.

Sir Rowland Hill Dead.

‘he press despatches this morning! announce the death of Sir Rowland Hill, | the author of the penny post system. | Sir Rowland was born in 1795, the son of « Birmingham schoolmaster, and consequently was eighty-four years of) age. Ie agitated a reform of the old) postal and franking systems for several years, before he, in 1542, succeeded in getting his cheap postal system, which has conferred such inestimable benefits on civilization, carried into effect. In 1856 the British public recognized his work by a testimonial valued at $67,- 000, and in 1864 he was voted a sum of $100,000 by Parliament, the Albert gold medal of the Society ot Arts, and the degree of D. C. L., in recognition of the benefits he had conferred on his country. Sir Rowland was also the

originator of the money order system ail el ar of the post office savings bank. He} ‘ ST R ly was Knighted in 1860, and has led an '

active public life. He will be remem} bered as one of the great benefaciors of a common civilization, of whom Great Britain has been the home of so

many.
