SATURDAY. OCTOBER %. 1925,

Such is the prosperous condition OF fiar-
per's Ferry, and the energetic character OF
its inhabitants, for public improvements, that
during the present season, there were erected
not less than forty buildings; and the Editor
of the Free Press thinks, from appearances,
that an equal number will be built next sea-
son. The population is now about 1000 and
rapidly increasing. We learn that the place
is improving in healthfullness, and we can
speak from experience, Of the good breeding
and easy hospitality the prominent citizens.
A visit during the last summer to this roman
tic spot, convinced us Of the justice OF Mr.
Jefferson's early remark in relation to TT
is still more interesting now from the scientific
and nicalimprovements exhibited in the
numerous manufactures, and from the very
superior accommodations offered to the "a
tigued traveller.
The last number Of the Press says, that on
Monday morning last We were presented with
n scene which occurs two or three times a year
The mountain tops were covered with sleet'
and presented the appearance of the verna
blossoming season, while the valley was en-
tirely exempt from it. The change IN the
thermometer since the 9TH inst from so to
40, has given us foretaste of winter, and
caused us to draw round the fre-side, with al
eagerness not unlike that created during chill
December, while the passers-by are enveloped
in their tartan plaid and impenetrable drab
cloaks.

On Frida, the 7tb inst. about noon,
the inhabitants OF Fredericton were
alarmed by the appearance Of fire in
the woods surrounding the Surveyor
Generals new building, and hurried
with the fire engines to the spot, which
is about eight miles distant. At this
period, when the mos, active inhabit-
ants were at a distance, fire COM

very little property was saved. We

The public have already been inter

They set sail from Cape Stavanger, and
after voyage of fourteen weeks arriv-
ed in safety. We have learnt some
particulars with regard to the agent
who was sent over on this business,
calculated to set his character in We.
ry interesting light. Two agents were
originally sent over by this company,
and funds appropriated to defray the
expense. These funds, we understand,
were placed in the hands of man who
was afterwards unfortunate in business.
They then found themselves in
strange land, amongst a people Of diff
terent laws, customs and language,
with all Of which they were unacquaint-
ed. Determined, notwithstanding, to
fulfil the object of their mission, they
resolutely set out on their enquiries, Ia.
boring with their own hands to defray
their expenses. They proceeded in this
manner until one was seized with a ma.
lady which brought him to his grave.
During all the time Of his sickness, his
confederate, independent Of watching
by his bedside and performing those
kind Offices so necessary 10 the comfor,

dical attendance, still laboring with his
own hands for his support, and debar

engaging without any hesitation at any
kind of employment, to meet the cur

means he obtained knowledge Of our

ture. In this manner he secured the

journal from day to day, which in due
time he transmitted to the company by
whom he was sent to make the cxami-
nation. This repor, was so favorable,
