Vest India Trade -The recent
storms in the West Indies, appeared to
have been more extensive, as we'll as
earlier in the season than usual. With
out affecting to be familiar with the de-
tails of trade, either in the expectation
of our Staples, or as to return profits,
it does appear to us, that such gener-
al call, from the devastated Islands,
and from several ports on the northern
shore of South America, must be good
cause to justify moderate shipments Of
Provisions; especially Breadstnhs.
But our merchants, whose proper bust
ness it is TO understand these matters,
willnot overdo the thing to such extent
this season as they did to South Ameri-
ca last year.-Bah Cas.

Edingburg, June 5th, 1925.

2emarka6 l Echo--The Editor of the Bos
ton Gazette, who has lately been on a tour to
the north, gives the following particulars of a
surprising echo, which he had occasion to
observe in his rambles.
"When I was enjoying bath in the
cry stal waters of Lake George, after
the fatigues Of the day, | saw the flash
ola cannon s. heard the report, whi CHI
was attended with the most wonderful
echo ever heard or read of. The dis
charge was repeated several times,
which gives US fair opportunity to no.
tice more particular the phenomenon.
A three pounGer was loaded with a
pound cartridge, placed near the hotel
at the head ofthe lake, and pointed to
break in the opposite mountains.
The noise at the discharge was first that
of common discharge of such piece
of ordinance. The sodnd then entered
into the 1efile of the mountains like the
rushing of strong wind: then seemed
to turn almost at right angles, took
north eastern direction, along the base
of the range of mountains, and passed
through three distinct changes of sound,
each louder than the preceding. and at
length went off 10 distant but distinct
reverberations. The whole continu-
ance of the echo was more than a min
ute from the discharge of a gun-some
who took note, said nearly two minutes,
but it was certainly more than one. AT
ter the first report, there was nothing
in the sound like the distant discharge
of a cannon, but it was very much like
terrific thunder burst in the A legha-
ny Mountain.-The largest park of ar
tillery ever onBoston common discharg-
ed at once, would make but a faint
noise compared with this echo from the
report of single three FOUNDER. A
large number of gentlemen and ladies
from our city witnessed the phenome-
non at the same time with myself.
