I'VE NOVA sCOTIAS TIsHERNTS Starving.
TIE Haitian journal, says:
The starving condition Of our fishermen along the
coast ought TO engage the immediate attention OF the
Government and the Legislature. Everything else
should give way to this question OF life or death, Tor
resly il is already come 10 this. We will only ln-
stance the Of settlement, that OF Turns Bay
between prospect and Sanbro, where there are many
families who in absolute deetitution OF food and
clCtl ing. They don't know what it IS to have foil
neal Of victuals. In the last season, with the ex-
ceptiOn Of one man, who made fortunate haui OF
mackerel. they. literally caught nothing; lie has
helped his neg hbors beyond his means, and now they
are pei niles and femme starcs them in the face from
day to day. Other harbors may not be 80 totally des-
ttute but we fear are not much better 81 that We
but immediate action be taken. A few barrels ofmeal
iudicously distributed, will do something; and as to
clothing, again suggest the forming OF some depot
to which the thousands OF cas-oh garments now IN as
many houses, may he sent and resorted to by the
reedy. How distressing TO know that at this in
clement season. men, women and children are not halt
clad, and are suffering from piercing cold rs well a.
from pnchnS hunger. The public chest must relieve
