The ground was dry, but farmers were putting
in wheat. River low, and no boats expected

rapidly, and vacant lands were in demand.-
With regard to labor, the editor says;
Brick are scarce and command high price.
We are very much in want ofbuilding capitalists
to erect good saw and honring mills. Stone
quarters and layers, brck-makers and masons,
milers and mil-wrghis, carpenters, 'oiners,
cabinet makers, wheel-wrighis and wagon ma
kers, blacksmilhs and coopers, painters and gla-
zers, farmers, teamsiefs and diichers, wood
choppers and every kind Of common laborers, en-
glneers, CLERKS, surveyors, linsmiths, silver
smiths, printers, tailors and shoemakers will
seldom fail to find ready employment. There
is also great scarcity Of female help, both for
service in needlework. They are now com

laborers are obtaining from SIS TO S25 per

arc many farms TO rent on shares, which offer

ARAB ODDITIES.


An Arab, entering his house, removes
his shoes, but not his hat. He mounts
bis horse upon the right side, while his
wife milks their COWS upon the left side.
With him the point of a pin is its head,
while its head is made its heel. His
head must be wrapped up warm even in
summer, while his fl ct may well enough
go naked in winter Every article of
merchandise which is liquid ho weighs,
but measures wheat, barley and few
other articles. He eats almost nothing
at breakfast, about as much for dinner,
but after the work of the day is done,
sits down to hot meat swimming in oil,
or, better yet, boiled butter. His sons
cat with him, but the females of the
house wait till his lordship is done. He
rides his donkey when travelling, his wife
walking behind; He laughs at the idea
of walking with lis wife, or Of ever va
eating his seat for woman. He knows
no use for tables, chairs, knives, or even
spoons, unless they be wooden ones.-
Bedsteads, bureaus and fire places, may
be put in the same category. If he be
an artizau, be does his work sitting, per-
haps using his toes to use whath bis hands
are engaged upon. Drinks cold water
like a sponge, but never hathes in it un-
less his home be on tho sea shore. Is
rarely seen drunk-too seldom speaks
the truths deficient in kindness to
his kindred-has little curiosity and no
imitatiop-no wish TO improve his mind
no desire to surround himself with
the comforts of life.

The Trinity times., 1855-06-09

will become the dominant creed of the era
On the issue ofthe siege, its fate, Tor good or
evil for glory or disgrace, for empire, exile
or death, unmistakably depends
No one to-day understands these facts
more keenly than the strange and dangerous
man who instigated the expedition, and the
world knows enough of him to conclude that
he will strain every effort to justify his ideas,
and bring the siege TO Il glorious termination.
England may pray, threaten, expostulate,
reason-but he will continue nfexible, and
move onward to his purpose as unerringly as
well directed bullet to the target. He will
turn neither to the right nor the left: he will
never remove that expressionless but unquail-
ing eye from Sevastopol until the French ca
giles have perched on its ramparts. Indeed
the scorn of France for Englands S vacillalion
and weakness is scarcely concealed. An in
stance Of the mercess sarcasm with which
the great French writer's and statesmen are
accustomed to treat their beloved allies can
be found in the proposition lately submitted
by Emile de Girardn, the accomplished edi-
tor Of La Presse, to The effect that England
should Immediately destroy Gibraltar for the
purpose of giving Russia good example 20
be followed in the case of SevastopOl This
sneering suggestion too clearly proves that
the affection between France and England
has not been intensified by their military al
lance.
In despite, therefore, of English views on
the subject we are inclined to believe that
no peace can be ratified before the Scvasto-
pol question is settled one way or another.
The conduct of the war is really in the hands
Of Louis Napoleon, and he will consent to no
terms which could bring dscredit on his aims
or defeat his original plans. Glory is tho
breath of the noslri,s of France, and she
would never submit TO the continued rule Of
one who had :alnished her military fame by
reckless and ill-adylsed policy. Louis Ma
roeon knows this, and knows also that the
fall of Sevastopol will be his only justification.
The war, therefore, must go on.
