FISHERIES OF VANCOUVER ISLAND. - The
British Coonst is quite enthusiastic in its
descriptions of the fisheries of British Colum-
bia. 1t states that the coast of Vancouv, T
Island for many hundreds of miles swarms
with salmon, cod, herring, halibut and dog
fish, as well as seals and whales at the north.
These resources of wealth, says the Colonist,
will ere long be taken advantage Of Hun
dreds Of coasting vessels will engage in tax
ing and curing fish, or supplying Others oil

north to collect the bone and oil of the whale:
and our sealers for the skin and oil of the
seal. Our fishing fleet will rival in nun.

whiten the shores of Nova Scotia. Cape Bre

whale fishery Victoria from its admirable
situation will naturally be the warehouse for
all here our oil, fish, and skins will be
stored. Here will center the merchant

months, if not weeks, the entire sum will be
made up. Several gentlemen in Louisiana

cago, charged with cutting the throat of
his wife. The wound was inflicted on the
right side Of the neck, about an inch in
depth, and extending upwards and forwards
nearly two inches. The artery was not sew
cred. and the wound, upon examination by
physicians, was pronounced not fatal. It
is alleged that the doctor and his wife were
out walking when the affair occurred. He
positively asserts his innocence. however,
and his wife, who at first declared he did
it, subsequently exouerated him, and says
an unknown man ran up behind her and
inflicted the wound. The defendant was

intent to commit murder, in IS, 900 bail.

SIxpENcE A DAY A London paper fur
nishes us with the following interesting an
ecdote, which we wish our young friends
would read and think about. What is said
about sixpence spent daily for one thing
that is useless or hurtful, (strong drink, for
example, may be said Of the same sum
spent for other hurtful or pernicious things,
tobacco for example.)
There is now an old man in the aims
house in Bristol, who states that for sixty
years he spent sixpence day in drink,
but was never intoxicated.
A gentleman who heard the statement,
was somewhat curious to ascertain how much
his sixpence day. put by every year, at
five per cent, compound interest, would a.
mount to in sixty years. :.
Taking out his pencil he began to calcu-
late. Putting down the first years savings
three hundred and sixty-iive six-pences
nine pounds sterling, eleven shillings and
six-pence, he added the interest, and thus
went on from year to year. until he reached
the startling sum Of three thousand two
hundred and twenty-five pounds sterling,
nineteen shillings and sixpence. More
than fifteen thousand dollars
Judge the old mans surprise when told
that had he saved his sixpence day, and
allowed it to accumulate at compound in
terest, he might now have been worth the
above sum, SO that instead of taking refuge
in an alms-house, he might have comforted
himself in house of his own, costing three
thousand dollars, and fifty acres Of land
worth two hundred and fifty dollars an acre,
and have left the legacy among his children
and grand children or used it for the well
fare Of his fellow men.
