E. Island exhibitors and those intending to visit St. John next week. It must, there fore, be gratifying for them to notice by the lengthy list of entries now about completed, that nota small portion of it is occupied with the names of so many well known exhibitors of live stock, grain, fish and other articles, from the fertile Isle, and which must insure a good gathering from that portion of this Dominion. The time for rendering the buildings on the Govern ment Grounds ready for the reception goods is now limited, and much still remains to be done in order that everything shall be of in readiness for the opening day. The Commissioners finding the accommodation for agricultural implements not at al: sufficient for needed requirements, have decided to erect temporary buildings to serve forthe purpose. The several struc- tures and surrounding grounds command a fine view of the harbor, Forts Howe and Dafferin, with the adjacent hills, the Bay of Funday and Partridge Island, from which place is wafted by the S.W. wind, during the foggy season the dismal tones of the orchestra. The oceupation of the hour by a great number of the citizens appears to be that of endeavoring to secure suitable lodgings by the friends of intending visiters, and the crowding beds into their respective dweilirg houses by the landlords Rates demanded by the latter generally are as yet quite moderate, and range from one doliar and fif y cents to two dollars per day, including fall board, at which figures very comfortable lodgings can be obtained. There is, however, a disposition on the part of those of a more grasping nature, to con- sider the coming occasion their particular harvest. and consequently anticipating a scarcity of accommodition, are locking for exorod'tant prices Intercourse with the western side of the city will be rendered more agreeable and travel made expeditions by the much need- ed improvements going on at the Carleton Ferry. New iron toll gates of latest design are being placed at the head of the floats on either side, also comfortable waiting rooms for ladies and gentlemen have been arranged. It is intended to place two route, the largest of which is at present undergoing extensive repairs. Since the Western Railway has passed into the hands of the New Brunswick Company, a decided improvement is noticeable in the vicinity of the Carlton Landing. Travellers bound to and from the West and others having occa- sion to attend the trains, have hitherto been compelled to wait on an open platform ex- posed to all kinds of weather, unless they preferred the atmosphere of an eight by ten room, reeking with tobacco and frequently foul language. Now a spacious sehed covers the platform and it and the waiting rooms previously mentioned afford ample accom- modation for the patrons of this Road. The N. B. RR. Co. have also expended large sums in other buildings, and necessary improvements in Carlton for their increas- ing traffic, and this portion of the city is decidedly booming. The results consequent on the great fire of 1877 has caused a marked improvement in the appearance of Saint John, many lofty and substantial buildings of stone and brick occupying the sites of what were once mere wooden shells. The Custom House and Post Office built of freestone are probably as fine as any of the kind in Canada. Nearly all the city proper being destroyed at that time, those that have taken their places are chiefly stone structures, handsomely finished in the interior, among which may be mentioned, Trinity Episcopal, Centenary Methodist, and St. Andrew’s Presbyterian. The former has a very fine chime of eight belis rung by clockwork, sounding forth the time of day or night every quarter of an hour, with some well known hymn every three hours in the twenty-four, and on the Sabbath reminding with their metal tongues the various bands of worshippers of their duty towards Him to whom so many buildings have in this city been dedicated. [It isto be regretted that so many of these sacred edifices are encumber- ed with a debt which will occupy many years in being removed; but, not having the remedy to apply, it is probably of little use to point out the evil. Notwithstanding the attention devoted to the weightier matters pertaining to the great demonstration now in course of pro- gress, a considerable flutter is discovered in Civie circles, on account of recent rumors from the Capital, in regard to the displac- ing, by the Local Government, of a num- ber of important officials, The list in- cludes men who have held their positions for years, under both the Provincial and Civic powers, and who have given satisfac- tion to the public as well as to the party from whom they received their appoint- ments. Should these rumors prove true, a system will be inaugurated in this city hitherto anknewn, and render the life of an official a rather precarious one. The 8. 8S. ‘‘Sicily,” chartered to take the place of the ill-fated ‘‘Cedar Grove,’’ has mace her first trip, to be followed shortly by the ‘‘Juliet.’’ Both vessels are cunsid- ered in every way suitable for the require- ments of shipping. After a long season of cry weather caus- ing the immense fires, raging in different parts of the country, to spread more widely, the clouds have at last poured forth their pent up showers, and now the air is again freed from smoke and dust, and the trees and fields present quite a fresh appearance. An accident of a singular nature occurred to-day during the gale that succeeded the recent rainstorm, which will render a nice happy home desolate. A prominent ‘fire- man, who is employed in a lumber yard, while on tie top of the pile was together with the lumber precipitated to the ground. Ali hopes of saving the peor fellow’s life are despaired of by the atteuding physicians. e } ab of numberless now Peau.
