UniYersalist Conference.

NEW GLOUCESTER. Sept. 3, 1878.
The quarterly conference of the York and
Cumberland Association of Universalists COM
in this town. The morning services were fairly
attended, the numbers increasing, however, in
the afternoon. Rev. G. Titus. Jr., Pastor of
the West Waterville Society, preached very
interesting sermon in the forenoon, from the
words found in Hebrews Kills, his theme be-
ing the "Samepess of Christ" The central
thought was that the work and mission of the
Saviour was the same to-day that it was in the
outset
After the service most bountiful collation.
was spread in large tent erected by the side
of the church.
In the afternoon, Rev. George w Bicknell
of the India Street Church in Portland preached
from the words of Solomon in Eccl. i . He
believed such wall was the result of an evil
and not good life He believed earth-man's
existence here-the opportunities enjoyed-the
rewards attending faithfulness-the spiritual
treasures one may gain if he will-were far
from being vain He made an earnest plea for
higher and more Christ-like way of living
A most spiritual conference meeting was held
in the evening, presided over by Rev. Mr. Titus,
which was participated in by many, and was
indeed very happy season.
The singing blythe excellent choir has added
a great deal to the enjoyment and interest of
the meetings of the day. The conference is to
be continued through to morrow.

q The Nova Scotia Gale.
More Horrors fseported-Grent Destrne-
tioa of PrOperty-The Losses at Sea ,ete.

The telegraph continues to afford further par
ticulars of the great gale. A letter from Guys
boro says the late gale inflicted its full measure
damage upon that town and surrounding To-
calities. The loss to the inhabitants of Guysbo-
70, mostly to traders, is about $4,000. 1t is
opposed that no less than one hundred barns
have been blown down in the settlements
around Guysboro, and the crops are completely
destroyed. The fishermen have lost their nets.
A similar story comes from Fourch& c. b.,
where lumber, barns, fishing stages. trees, fen
ces, etc., are piled up in I immense drift in
the road, for the distance of a mile OF more,
from Fourche to Grand River. There are only
three barns standing, the remainder being
ruins. To give an idea of the fury of the bur-
ricane, out of two acres of hard woodland at
Fourche. there are only ten trees left standing.
The fishing schooner Thetis of Lahave, Capt.
Corkum, was wrecked on the north side of
Prince Edwards Island; all the crew, number
ing twelve men, were lost. Among the crew
were three brothers named Corkum, one of the
owners, and three brothers named Stenkel
Capt. Goodrich of the schooner Wixande, saws
of the storm at Magdalen Islands, that h is
schooner was thrown high and dry upon land
there, and will be total less. Fifty-two fish
ing schooners, the names of which it is impos
sibe to obtain, were driven ashore and will
each be a total loss. Up to the time the cap
tain left however only; three dead bodies had
been recovered. Among the vessels which went
ashore was barque with two hundred men on
board, passengers from Labrador. A barque
was driven high and dry upon the land but not
a soul out of large number was lost. A Que
bee schooner was at Eutre Island. and landing
material for the light house there. The mate
rial was in an exposed position. and was nearly
all destroyed, and the schooner suffered severe
ly.
At Cow Head, whea the gale was at its fierc-
est there were twenty sail of French tishc rmen
and it is supposed that every vessel went down
with all on board, for not the slightest vestige
of any Of them was to be seen when the sea
moderated. A brigantine with seventeen on
board, was struck by sea and was overturned.
When she righted her spars were gone clean out
of her. Her hull was driven on the rocks and
every soul on board persisted. The name of
the vessel could not be ascertained.
At Magdalen Island the tide rose eight feet
higher than was ever known before, and the
destruction of property on land has been almost
as great, if not greater than the loss at sea

The Canadian Railroad Scandal.

The following from the Toronto Globe of
September list, shows the present feeling of the
opposition in regard to the railroad lnvestiga-
ton:
From the utterances of the ministerial pa
pers we judge it is the intention of the Execu-
tive to instruct the commission to proceed with
the inquiry in spite of the refusal of Mr.. Hunt
ington to appear before it. The object, doubt
less, is to gain time We may expect MANY
delays and much outlay of money in bringing
witnesses to Ottawa, who will know little or
nothing about the matter at issue. The Cover
nor-General, however, promised a session of
Parliament within ten weeks OF the time he
met the House deput9ton, 18th August, and it
remains to be seen whether he will break his
pledge TO the peoples representatives. There
is some talk of petitioniug him to fulfill his
promise, but it seems to us that the people,
having intimated their wish that the Governor
should consult Parliament at the earliest DOS
sble moment and having been promised.
through their representatives, session by the
middle of October or beginning of November
should wait in patience the fnlfilment of that
promise If it be broken, 1t will be time
enough to get up fresh petition, but it is evil

We shall have it in our power to hear the justi-
fication of ministers hitherto obliged to keep
their months shut, and in judging on the evil

sentatives what course they are to pursue and
being prepared for the battle, all the necessary

GooD-The Maine Farmer evidently intends
a hard rap for somebody, in the following:

There are persons who yearn for military
titles especially in times of peace but the chew
ron of the corporal as the reward of bravery in
action, is more honorable than the gilded star
of the general when bestowed for political or
personal considerations, to be sported on mock
battle fields. There are those whose modesty
prompts them to decline unmelted honors;
there are others whose vanity impels them to
seek them.

THE DAMAGE TO THE GLOUCESTER FLEET
A correspondent OF the Boston Advertiser gives
an account Of the disaster to the Gloucester
fishermen by the storm on the Nova Scotia
coast:
The number of Gloucester fishing vessels
already reported disabled in the gale is thirty
six. OF these six are supposed to be total
losses, representing aggregate tonnage of
355.22 tons and $4,000 in value. on which there
was insurance to tn amount of S24, PSI; twenty
five others were stranded, but are reported as
slightly injured, and; will probably be got off;
five others were dismasted or met with loss of
sails, cables, anchors, etc. A moderate esti-
mate of these partial losses, including expense
of launching and repairs, loss of time, ETC.,
would be two thousand dollars per vessel
$4,000 in all--which would give a money loss
to Gloucester of 100000 in the gale, with prob
able other disasters to be reported To this
must be added the loss of life which can enter
into no financial computation, the crews of the
schooners Angie S. Friend and C. G. Dane,
and two men from the Fanny R., thirtv-fve
