The Minister and the Fiddle,

Half century ago, or less, the somewha

out-of- the-way village of A., in the
State of Steady Habits. The Doctors

OF his congregation nevertheless, he kept
on the even tenor of his way, and lsregar.
ded the prejudices of some of his people
He had son named Enoch, who, at an early
age, manifested a remarkable talent for
music, which the father cherished and cult
waited with care. In the same village resided
an antiquated maiden lady, who, having no
cares OF her own to occupy her time and at
tention, magnanimously devoted herself to
those of her neighbors. One morning she
called at the Doctors, and requested to see
him. When he entered the room where she
was seated, he perceived at glance that
something was amiss, and before he had
time to extend to her the usual chow dive

From the Chronicle Of May Il.

The FIRST BoAr.-On Wednesday last,
after continuous storm of near two weeks,
the winds ceased blowing, the clouds disap-
peared, and we were favored with q return
of the delightful spring weather common to
this northern region.
This change renewed the hopes and ex-
cited the anxiety of our citizens for the COM
ing of the first boat. Every one was raised
to the highest pitch of expectancy and I'M
patience throughout that and the following
day, and on Friday afternoon, after frequent
disappointmcnts, our ears were greeted with
the Gladstone intelligence of . steamboat !!
" steamboat % proclaimed by friend whose
over anxiety had elevated him to the top OF
a neirhboring house. This glorious news
was speedily heraIded throughout the town,
and our whole population, congregated along
the bav front, on house-tOps and elevated
points, were gazing intently at dim, dark
speck upon tho lake. Gradually it grew
larger and more distinct, and occasionally
puffs of smoke were noticed rising from it
and frightening out along the sky. Nearer
and nearer it approached, and the full form
of a steamboat was visible. A few moments
more. as it reached Minnesota Point, the
mast and single pipe of the old favorite Man
haitian was recognized. Entering the eapa-
cious Bay of Superior and passing throug the
c;rcuitous channel to Quebec Pier, she was
received with nine long and hearty cheers
by those assembled on the landing. to which
the passengers responded by similar demon
STATIONS.
ACCIDENT NEAR La Po.STE.-We learn
that quite distressing accident occurred at
the falls of the Montreal river, near La
Pointe, short time since, which resulted IN
the death of Mr.. Barber, a partner of Mr.
George A. Stunz who was engaged making
surveys for the government in that locality.
and a Frenchman belonging to the corps
The full particulars we have not been able to
learn, but are informed that the two unfor-
tunate men while examining the rapids in Q
canoe were drawn in by the eddy under the
falls, and both drowned before assistance
could be rendered. The body of the French
man had been found, but that Of Mr.. Barber
has not been seen since he sunk under tho
waters.
SAw-MILL BLOWN Up.-On "Wednesday
night last the good people of Superior were
startled by a tremendous explosion, the re
port of which could be heard at a great dis
lance. On proceeding in the direction of the
noise, we, found the saw mill on the Nernad
j river in ruins, and the boiler, the bursting
of which had caused the report, lifted some
six or eight feet from its bed, and thrown t.
some distance outside of the building. NJ
cause is assigned for tie acci lent. One O
the employees, the engineer, we believe, wa
standing within two feet of the boiler, ant
miraculously escaped unhurt. The loss o
a saw mill at this season, in this section @
country is a public calamity as those il
operation have not been adequate to suppl,
the pressing demand for lumber. We ar
not informed whether there was any insu
rance, and think it highly probable it is
total loss.
