Important from Hdi!far We received this NOR
ming the Nova Scotia Royal Gazette of the 27tl
Of Feb. together with letters from correspond
cn,s a, that place of the same date, which bring
US the following highly important intelligence.
Halifax, Feb. 81, 1889.
The late news from the State Of Maine has sucl
warlike appearance that it is the general opinion
that war cannot now be averted between the two
countries. We shall particularly lament if thu
good and kindred feeling that ought TO prevail
should nov be broken up, and hope that it may
still blow over. Our Legislature yesterday imme
ds,ely on the receipt of the intelligence, voted
sum not exceeding One Hundred Thousand. Pound
to be at the disposal Of the Governor to assist TIN
Mother Country to raise volunteers to go to the
sistance Of our Sister Province, and Eight Thous
and men will be raised Immediately
The vote was followed up with long and heart
cheers, for New Brunswick and the Queen of Grea
Britain. Boston .4tids.
