To-day we have seen the sun all day. The first
fair day for nearly two weeks. The wind has
been oasterly and southerly for upwards Of 3
weeks and consequently along shore and for three
short distance inland the fog has been thick.
The effect upon the crops has been marked. Po-
tatoes have rusted badly. Many fields look as
dead as they ought in October. Consequently the
yield will be short, as the potatoes are not fully

Grain is badly lodged as there has not been
sufficient sun to harden the stalks, and farmers
say the grain is not well filled.
Other crops, garden sauce &c, looking
nicely.

The temperance question is receiving some at
tention with US. So much that the better class
of people have determined that the ca
rousng caused by intemperance must be stopped,
and the Baptist weekly meeting Of last Thursday
developed the fact that church members N ust not
only let it be known that they passivcy on the
side Of temperance, but actively and progressively
on It's side.
We believe that two additional constables have
been appointed to preserve the peace. This is well
but we want not only law and its force, but we
want the morals of the people stirred up to its ne

lies in its reactonary power against evil
A few weeks since, Mr. Samuel Feaguc while
passing through what is called Anderson's woods
about mile from the village, about -, mid
night, saw two men emerge from the woods and
