struck was she who is now the wife of
your bosom; but your fears had
magnifed the blow. Catherine was
found by myself soon after the acci-
dent; and though she lost a little
blood, and was stunned for a time,
she soon got round again. Praised be
heaven for bringing about this bless
ed explanation
Amen, cried Catherine and her
husband.
Peace and happiness, as much as
usually falls to the lot of mortals,
were the lot of Catherine and her hus-
band from this time forward, their
great source of inquietude being thus
taken away. The wife even loved
the husband more, from the discovery
that the circumstances which had cas-
ed her distress, were but a proof of
his tenderness OF heart and conscience
and William was attached more
strongly to Catherine, after finding
her to be the person whom he had
unwittingly injured. A new tie. as
it were had been formed between them.
Strange as this history may appear, it
is ue.-Chamber's Misceiiany.

THE TEMPERANCE QUESTION.

The Belfast Age of last week, in pub
fishing Hon. Ebenezer Knowlton's note
Withdrawing his name from the list of
candidates for the gubernatorial chair,
says that the Age supposed Mr.. Knowl-
ton stood simply on the national Re-
publican platform, and ignored side
issues" and add, that the editor cannot
accept Mr.. knowton's definition Of
Republcanism. Mr.. knowlton replies,
stating his position more fully, as fol-
lows:
SOUTH MONTvILLE, April Is, 1870.
TO the Editor ofthe Pt'ogreSSire 1ge:
You and differ on the temperance
question. and as to the prominence it
Should have in the Republican party in
this State. We will not go into a news
paper discussion OF the subject; only
ask space to define my position more
fluffy.

platform. and upon the State Republican
platform also. The latter declares for

ment of laws to that end" This must
mean such iars TO enforce the same, as

am committed to nothing more, | shall
be satisfied with nothing less. am OPP
posed TO the third party movement. be
cause the Republican party having put
itself upon the prohibition platform, is
the real temperance party OF the State.
Sometimes unWl-c nominations NAV be
made. Sometimes 1.-The trumpet gives
an uncertain sound" from the lips of
some Republican editorial, or official
watchman. But, upon the whole, the
Republican party is undoubtedly doing
more Tor the cause ol temperance than
any party ot comC-outcrS would be
likely 10 do.
Last year refused to have nv name
used us candidate for Governor and
encouraged the use OF Mr.. Perhams ;.
This Year. the same issues are before u~,

standing that il was not to be used
against hi. My SENSE OF honorary
obligation bound Inc to this course,
though not a word ever passed between
Us oh the subject; and the day learned
he would be run again, | Withdrew my
name.
To prevent a construction some are
disposed to give TO my withdrawal,
say distinctly that being released rom
the conditional assent 10 the use ot my
maine, and having no desire for the office,
but an ardent desire TO stick to the APP
propriate work of my profession, shall
not consent to be a candidate i'll the

unusually productive and the impor-
tations above the average. Some idea
Of the resources of the country may be
formed from the fact that in 1867 the
value of the exports (fish and oil) was
S5,47l ,05l. besides S256, 900 worth of
ores. The quantity of dry Goldfish ex-
ported in 1868 was l,066,215 quintals
Ga quintal is IL pounds weight), and
3S9,e72 seal skins, and SLAP tons of
seal oil. The great drawback to the
colony is absenteeism. The merchants
make large fortunes, and retire to
spend them in their splendid villas on
the banks of the Mersey and the Clyde.
The poor fisherman has to toll on with
a very scanty pittance, and is often on
the brink of starvation when the pre-
carious fisheries turn out badly.

IScilODScOt.

The town of Penobscot, has no rum
shop, lawyer, doctor, or,-perhaps YOU
will say, "anything ele ofvalue." Some
think it is good town enough to be
born il, but poor town to Nce in.
What about this old town? Have the
people any resources? and do they ell
gage protitably in business?
The valuation of the town increased
the last decade $4,000. There are i'll
the town, eight stores, two brick yards,
two saw mills, two grist mills, one shin
gle and lathe mill, two stave mills, one
cooper shop, one blacksmith shop, and
two shoemaker shops.
They manufacture annually about l.
NJ. slaves and 1000 fish barrels-ship
to Rockland about 5000 cords of wood,
giving businc>, to five vessel, which are
owned III the place. One hundred and
twenty men are engaged in Bank fish
ing. In the town, are four meeting
houses, two religious societies, and one
Lodge OF Good Tomplars.
The School houses are not first class,
but the current sets in favor of improve
ment.
The people need better mail accomo-
dation,, and it is hoped that after July
lst, they will have a daily mail This
people are sober, and industrious, and
friends to good order.
Yours.

PoLIrICAL PosITioN.

Newfoundland, like nearly all British
colonies, IS in possession Of ''re,ponsi-
bic government. The Queen of Great
Britain appoints the Government.
whose power is but nominal, IS he
must carry on the government through
the majority III the House Of Assembly.
This House consists Of thirty rcpresen-
tatives, chosen by the pcople-ail
houscholders being voters. The Coun-
Gil are nominated for life hy the Ex-
ecutive for the time being, and are
limited to fifteen members. All acts
must pass both Houses and be approx
cd bv the Govcrnor-thc Imperial
government having aveto power, which
is rarely made use OF, and only in case
of some infringement of .hc prerogative
of the crown. The policy of the British
government is strongly in favor Of
uniting all the British provinces with
the Dominion OF Canada, under a
single government. \ strong party
in Newfoundland, among whom are to
be found some of the largest capitalists
and bcst-educated portion Of the peO-
pie. are strongly in favor of union with
Canada. Last wear. resolutions favor
able to such union passed both branches
OF the legislature, and deputies We're
sent to Ottawa to negotiate terms.
These terms We're most favorable to
Newfoundland, and it was confidently
expected that at the elections OF No.
vember last TIE unionists would have
had a majority. But part of the
mercantile body, who are afraid Of
'.interlopers" interfering with their
monopolies and throwing business into
other channels, formed a junction with
political party who were eager to
upset the existing government, and
obtain their places. This united party
..took to the stump" vigorously, and
not being very scrupulous as to the
means employed, they managed to
alarm the minds of the simple, Ignorant
fishermen regarding the designs of
Canada and to create among them a
wild panic about being drafted for
soldiers and taxed heavily. The result
was that the union candidates were de-
feated bv an overwhelming majority at
the elections. and twenty-one anti
unionists were returned am but nine
unlonists Thus, in the mean time,
the cause of confederation is lost but
as the present state of things is the
result of mere party warfare and tenn.
porary excitement and panic, it is con-
tidently expected that union with Can
ada will be carried sooner or later
Already reaction has set in, and the
next general election will probably see
majority returned favorable to union
|. The legislative session was opened OF
February by a speech from the Cover
nor, in which he strongly urged union
. His government, of course, were de-
feated on the first vote taken; and al
. anti union government was formed
with Mr.. c. +. Benet as premier. liz
