We were amused this forenoon at the
efforts Of an Indian teamster, assisted
by half a dozen Of his fellow reds. to
mako q pair OF diminutive ponies haul q
load Of wood up the steep pitch on Sixth
street FROM Main to Court. There vas
no brake on the wagon, and no sooner
would the willing little animals get 1t
hauled up q few feet, than II would get
the best OF them and roll backwards.
The Indians tried to prevent the wagon
from going backwards by pushing on
the hind end but it was too much for
them, until the brilliant idea OF 'crook-
ing the wheels struck one OF them,
when little by little the horses managed
TO draw the wagon TO the easier grade OF
Court street. r
A rich strike was made in the Grove
mine on Saturday last. The ore body
10 from twelve 10 sixteen inches In width,
carrying ore Of q very high grade. We
were shown q piece which was q mass OF
ruby and sulphurets, and which IL was es-
timated would go 5000 per ton. John
Grove has been In bad luck In his min
ing operations for some time, and we
are glad to know that he now has a
chance to get even and lay up a few shil-
lings.

Two whale stor,s..

The Boston Herald relates the follow
ing: The brig Tropic. which arrived At
Belfast, Me-, on Sunday from Turks
Island, had q remarkable experience on
the passage. Captain Baker reports
that n morning. while ON the edge Of
the Gulf Stream, the brig going about
Ave knots an. hour, she stopped with q
shock as though she bad struck q rock.
II wa discovered that there was q whale
under the bow that made Of furiously,
lashing the water and spouting' The
briggs cutwater and chain bob-stay were
carried away, and q piece OF the whales
skin was left hanging on q projecting
belt" rrr-
The following IL credited to the Hall
fax Chronicle: ''The captain OF the AMIR
lean fishing schooner Sultan. which ar
rived on Monday night, states that on
the Grand Banks, on the Esd Of Novsm-
Der. his vessel was riding at anchor with
$50 fathoms Of cable ont. Two OF his
dories, with two men In each, were away
tending their travis. The remainder Of
the crew. who were below, observed
that the vessel was moving. On going
on deck they found the schooner going
through the water at the rate Of ten or
twelve knots an hour. Shortly after an
immense whale rose just ahead OF the
vessel with the anchor caught either in
his jaw or blow hole. After the vessel
had been towed for an hour by the fish.
and finding that the dories were already
out OF sight. tho captain cut the cable.
The Sultan then returned, picked up
her dories, and sailed for this port to
procure q new anchor and cable. An
incident OF an almost similar nature
happened to the American schooner @.
II. Price, Of Gloucester, on the Banks,
about eighteen months ago. She was
towed by q whale for aday aud q hall,
when the fluks Of the anchor broke, and
the vessel was released from her novel
predicament."

absentee. But all of us know how difficult it
is in such a case to dispose Of the property,
which is to be left behind, either by sale or in
the hands of an administrator in both cases
confidence is to be put solely in one man and
the experience has too often been, that the abb
sent mortgageholders or owner has only too
late got any information of a declined state of his
property, whereas a Credit Association as the
proposed one would not only facilitate sales Of
properties at any time, but at the same time
establish a common control with all properties
that have been mortgaged to the Credit Asso-
citation that they are kept constantly in good
order according to the appraisement upon which
the loan has been raised. The borrower OF a
loan becomes at the same time a member Of
the association and has as such not only the
right but ever the duty to call attention to a
defective state of any property that has been
mortgaged to the Credit Association this com
mon interest will necessarily produce the above
mentioned Common Control in the most efec-
tive manner and in absolute favor of the alb
sentees as we'll as Of the general Credit of the
Island.
Mr.. McD9moU agreed with Mr.. MelchiOr
that unless we get better manufacture, bet
ter produce, the Island will go down, and
properties will sink in value more and more,
and if something is not done, in 10 years time
no sugar estates will exist. With regard to
the absentees whom he represents, he had
written to chem and represented the whole
matter and the state of affairs. He had
written to the parties in very strong

from which the parties would deliver canes to

have been collected, it would not be possible

Their. 1t is desirable to have this part of the
matter settled as soon as possible And he
hoped the Assembly would not misunderstood
MN when now mentioning those Gentlemen
Whom ne would suggest for Members of the
committee, as being persons who will be able
TO ascertain and to represent, the different
views and sides Of the matter, namely: Chief
Judge Rosenstand, Major Moore, Messrs. W.
ID. Heyliger, T. Coulter, P. Mc.Dermott, II.
Farrelly and Alex. Latimer. He had had an
opportunity of speaking with those Gentlemen
and they had all expressed their willingness to
accept the trust.
The Chairman said that if no proposal
were made for any other mode Of election, he
would take it for granted that the Assembly
accepts the proposal just made by His Excel
lency.
AS no one expressed any contrary desire,
the said Gentlemen were considered as being
taeitly ell .cted for the Committee III question.
The Chairman felt sure he was expressing
a general feeling of this Assembly, when now
thanking His Excellency for the deep inter
est he takes in this matter, so closely connect
ed with the welfare Of this Island.
All the Gentlemen present rose from theiE
seats.

as we'll take the risk, rather than losing the
whole thing.
Major w. F. Moore: The average crops for
the last 10 years is 5000 hogsheads, repre-
senting $640, 900, leaving AZ cts. pr tb sugar;
the little that has been sold this year has been
for less (Mr. Melchior: but the Rum and Mo
Iasses ?)-the calculation includes all in all,
and ever Estates as General Newton's
would cease to exist as sugar estates if the
produce were to continue to be sold at the
present years prices. On the whole the Mus
covado Sugars of this place are not used in
the groceries, while the Porto Rico and Deme-
rara Sugars are sold across the counter readi-
ly. The sugars from those places have no
m~olasses, and have no loss on the way, ours
lose 10 p. CT. before it reaches the consumers
The Chairman proposed to ascertain the
general sentiment of the Assembly in refer
ence to the question and requested those, who
were in favor of establishing Central Factories
through the means of a Credit Association
to rise from their seats.
Almost all planters present arose.
The Governor then proposed that this meet
ing would elect a Committee TO act for the fur
therance of the two points that had been under
discussion. The task of that Committee would
be to receive from the different parties a mani
~festation of their desire to see Central Fact0-
ries established here by means Of a Credit-As-
ISOLATION, and to receive proposals or rather
announcements of the amount Of loan they wish,
