DISTRESS IN CAPE BRETON -- APPREHENDED
FAMlNE.—Summer is at hand, and what are the hus-
bandman's prospects? The cattle everywhere dying in
hundreds—the farm horses too feeble, from starvation,
to perform the labour of ploughing; and, lastly, more
than three-fourths of the farmers in the country wholly
destitute of potatoes or ain for seed. The conition
of the country is frightful; nor is the above pictured over-
coloured or exaggerated. The island is menaced, if not
immediately, at least prospectively, with the horrors of
actual famine. Upwards of 200 cattle, we
are informed,
have died from want of food in the settlement of Middle
River alone. many farmers in other parts of the coun-
try have lost their live stock.—cape Breton Spectator.
