Che Provincial Exhibition is now © an established institation.’ Every year secs an increasing aud spectators; and the results are evi- deut in the increased knowledge abroad | with respect to agriculture, and the steacy gro.th of a wholesome emulation among our farmers.

At this meeting, the Fishery Articles of the Washington Treaty were denounced ; ane a cemmittee was appoiuted to memorialize Cougress he effect that these articles had not been detrimental to the interests of the United States, but unjust and mon- é is to tbe valuation by the Halifax f missiou of the British shore fisheries, ericnce of ihe past ten years i own t re valuelesa to American len, and praying | it the operation | ry articles of the said treaty, i Ril Other treaty provisions relating Lo on the shores of Canada and ries Newtoundland be terminated, so that British and American fishermen may each in their own waters eajoy the right to take fish unmolested, and equal com- mercial rights in the waters of either ceu y The G: senipathe Syutery: Mr, Gamperra receatly paid a mys- t-rious visit to Germany; and some of the more speculative are looking for | siartling political effects. Travelling under his mother’s maiden name, he suc- sg visited Hamburg, Dresden, and Fravkfort. According to some accounts he has also been travelling in the direc- tion of Varzin, and it is of course inferred that he was at the time to an interview with the Varzio sphiox, F’rince Bismarck. A eorrespondent remarks that the people who have so ingeniously com- mevted on his late disappearance and re- appearance left oue thing altogether out ef their caleulations—the possibility of there being a petticoat in the case. It is stated positively this morning that a lady was seen with M. Gambetta in Ger- many. May it not be that the sphinx whom the French Gidipus went to meet waz a feminine one? Ths Great Northwest.

Tuanksarvine Day is observed by far too many as a time for feasting, and each one indulges his appetite till he can do longer. Such an observance de- grades the day, and often causes it to prove a curse rather thana_ blessing. The central, controlling idea of thanks- giving should be religious. It originated among a religious people, and was the manner chosen by them to express their gratitude, their thankfulness, for the re- ception of a very great blessing. It is }certainly becoming in us to perpetuate the observance of the festival at the close of the harvest, when our barns are filled to overflowing with the products of the field, and our homes are still bright and joyous with the presence, the voices and smiles of our dearly loved and cherished ones. Were each of our readers to sit down and write outa catalogue of the blessings Providence has bestowed upon him during the past year, many a one would be surprised at its length, though the half of them would not be recalled :— so no Come, list to a song of the harvest, Thanksgiving: and honor and praise, For all that the Bountiful Giver Hath gievn to gladdcn our days; For the grain and the corn in their plenty, For the fruit that were gathered with song, For pumpkins so brave with their yellow, Which Sal l lived upon sunbeams so long; For the sweet-smelling hay and the clover, That sweetens the breath of the kine; And the apples that lingered, as dreading The air and the light to resign! And not for the fruit-harvest only, We offer our thanks and our praise; Not less have the leaves and the blossoms Made brighter and better the days; The leaves that delight with their greeness, That soften the heat with their shade, And rustle so crispy in autumn, To atartle the lover and maid, For the blossoms that whiten at May-time The ground as with snow. as they fall: For the flowerets that whisper their meanings In cottage, and hovel, and hall. Aye, thanks for the harvest of beauty, For that which the hand cannot hold; The harvest-eyes only can gather Which only our hearts can enfold. We bare reaped it on mountain and woodland; We have gleaned it on meadow and lea; We have garnered it in from the cloud-land, We have found it in streams from the sea, The man who sets before him no higher aim than the making of money, may have experienced a sigt nal failure. Still, were he to put the true interpretation upon | the dealings of Providence with him, he cause for thankful- valuable lessonsare often learned in the schoo! of adversity, and he is the happy man who most profits by them. Notwithstanding the many ru- mors, circulated by designing men for selfish purposes, the earth has yielded an abundant harvest, furnishing in rich pro- fusion, food for man and beast. Only a short time ago, a dark cloud, like a leaden pall, hung over the commercial world. Men were quaking with fear lest, in a moment, they should find themselves bankrupt, without a cent they could call theirown. Black and threatening as was that cloud, it has been slowly passing away, till many a ray of light now finds its way into the haunts of business, strengthening hope and dispelling fear. Business has improved, and the times are no doubt much easier than they were some time ago. Let us all be thankful in view of this fact. Let none of us forget or be ashamed of the economy we have been compelled to practice in months that are past. The panic, the reverses, that business men have experienced, if rightly considered, will prove to them blessings i in disguise, for which they have great cause to be thankful. There are many families that are still anunbroken band. Sickness has spread his dark wing over some of them, but the hand of disease has been stayed, and the bloom of health restored to pallid cheeks. There are other families in which there will be vacant seats as they gather around the festive board. Some of their cher- ished ones have passed away, to mingle no more in the scenes of earth and time. | | would see abundant ness. ‘The most Is there no cause for thaonkthlieiees that | their last days were marked by so many blessings from above, and that they were permitted to do so much to smooth the pathway of their friends to the tomb! Some, young in days, have been removed leaving wounds in bereaved hearts, that om too deep ever to heal, Who will not be thankful, though with flowing tears, that their little ones have so soon reached the haven of rest, where sorrow and want can never intrude? As one by one our friends pass away——young in life, or full of years—the cords that bind us are being sundered, and our attach- ment to earth weakened, till at last, we shall feel a desire to depart also, and enter into rest. as well as pros- perity, has been the lot of this, and every other community. But the trial has been so tempered to the strength of every one that all for devout thanks- giving.

[t becomes us all, as we enter the Sanctuary on the approaching day of Public Thanksgiving, and as we gather around the social board, to recall the many rich blessings a kind Providence has bestowed upon us, and this highly- favored “Isle of the Sea.” And while we are surrounded with enough, and to spare, let us not forget that the poor are with us always, and that we have an opportunity of doing them, and ourselves also, good, if we but improve it. Let us see to it that none of the sons and daughters of want are neglected, or have not the means of spreading their tables with a substantial, bountiful Thanks- giving dinner. Thus will their hearts as- cend in thankfulness to their Lord and Master, and their prayers will call down richer blessings than silver or gold upon those who bestow of their abundance, thankful that a kind Providence has given them means wherewith to gladden the hearts of the poor and needy. <n New Books.

Charlottetown --T, L. Chappelle, Diamond Book Store. As a rule, people like to hear what’s said about themselves and their country. This book will, therefore, be read with interest by the peeple of Canada. The writer passed from Newfoundland through Nova Scotia, P. E. Island, New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario en to Manitoba; and he relates,in a very pleasing style, much that he saw; heard and read while on the While the book does not contain a way. vreater number of inaccurate statements than others of greater pretensions, it gives, in small space and in English which it isa pleasure to read, a large amount of valuable information. “In fact, “it gives one a good idea of the country, and is specially full in its deseription of those specially interesting parts of British North America—England’s oldest colony and Canada’s youngest pro- vinee—viz., Newfound’and and Manitoba.

Mr. Lynch who has for a mouth been in- troducing the above utensils showed the sincerity of his claims for them by obtain- Ing créam under difliculties and churning in the Market Hall on Friday. From three gallons of cream he brought 9$ Ibs. of butter, and took it from the churn quite free from but‘er-milk. We have been handed a sample of the butter, and we notice that the grain is not broken, and the color isgood. The time of churning was nearly an hour, but when we consider the conditions under which _ the test was made, we cannot but believe the time short, and the quaniity ef butter large fer the amount of cream. ‘Rhe cream churned on Friday was brought in by Capt. Holman, who stated at the Hall that it was not "nearly ripe enough, about one-third of it having just been skimmed and mixed with the rest. As to temperature the cream was churned at 55 degrees, or seven degrees toolow. Capt. Holman expressed his surprise that under the conditior, so short a time was§required. All were pleased with the fine pebble ap- pearance of the butter in the churn, and with the new process of drawing off the butter milk, while it was in a granulated state. Weare in hopes that these churns wil! be introduced among our dairymen, and that our own enterprizing manufactur- ers will he the ones to reap the harvest, that awaits the introduciion of really good dairy appliances. It is stated in St. Shihicstihiien court cir- cles that preparations for the Czar's journey to meet the Emperor Francis Joseph has been countermanded and that the interview will not oceur for months. Sad bieath of Capt Dauncey. STRUCK WITH A GAFP AND INSTANTLY KU.LED. This morning a sad and fatal accident occurred on board the brigantine Joseph which lies at the head of Queen’s Wharf. The victim wae Capt. Join Dauncey, who was well known by the mereantile men of the city. The Joseph arrived from Pictou on Fri- day last, hauled into the above wharf and cominenced to discharge coal trom the for- ward hatch. On Siinrdey morning the Captain (deceased) gave orders to the crew to raise a gaff above the mainhatch so that a quantity of the caryo should be taken fromthe midship. ‘Two of the men, named Whittell and Lourie, performed the work, which, aceording to the evidence taken at the inquest—befere Dr. Jenkins —this foreioon was satisfactory te the Captain. When the gaff was raised the Captain ordered the hoisters to commence work on the main hatch. This they did at 11 o'clock a. m. on Saturday, and continued up to the time of the accident this morning. At a quarter past nine o’clock Captain Dauncey aud Mr. James Burns were stand ing in couversation a few feet forward of the main hatch. A tub of coal had been |safely emptied into the cart on the wharf -and was again descending to the hold of the vessel. The guyman sung out to the men in the held, “ Stand from under.” As his last word sounded, Captain Dauncey stepped to the left from Mr. Burns. Then the gaff gave away and in an instant Capt. Dauncey was struck en the head, fell motionless to the deck, and in less than five iniuutes ured, The deceased was an exemplary person, and his sad and untimely death wiil be mourned by a large circle of friends on the Island.

The captain superintended the fixing up of the gaff himself, and told the men how to doit. CuarLtes Wairret (sworn) — Saturday morning the captain told myself and sea- wan Lourie to fix up the gaff for the pur pose of hoistin; outthe coal. He remainedon deck himself and directed us how to do ir. He was satisfied with the ropes that the gaff was made fast with. I believe the cause of the gaff falling was that the iron hook chafed and cu‘ the rope thron:h.

The Captain superintended the rigging up of the gaff himself, and when it was finished he said “ all was r eady.”’ James Burns (sworn. ) The captain and I were talking at the fore hatch when sud- denly the galt gave way. Dauncey had taken a step away from me and the gaff came down and struck him in the head I said, ‘‘ Heavens! Captain Dauucey is killed!” He fell forward, and never spoke afterward. The jury, after a short deliberation, re- turned the follewing verdict :— We, the jury on the case of John Dauncey (the decesed) tind that the cause ef his death was by the breaking of the rope which was in- sufficient, and which was placed on the gaff or mast head under his own direction and super- vision, and we find that there was no negligence on the part of any other person.
