STEAMER SARDINIAN.-Mr. Farmer, agent
of the Allan Line, received yesterday afternoon
the following telegram from Messrs. Fl. & A.
Allan:
''The Sandman hiss been foated and will
shortly resume service" This will seem to
indicate that she was but little injured by the
explosion and siaking at Londonderry last
Friday.
The loss of this stea ner recalls the fearful
series of calamities which fell upon the Mon
treal Ocean Steamship Company-the liae was
then owned by Edmonstone, Allan & Co in
such rapid succession early in its history. On
the 2lst of November 1859, the Indian was lost
on the Newfoundland coast, with twepty-seven
lives; on the night of the 10Th of February
following, less than four months afterwards
the Hungarian was dashed on the cliffs of Nova
Scotia, not soul Of her 215 passengers, sailors
and fIemen escaping. On the 4th of June,
1871, the sorely-stricken line lost yet third
steamer, the Canadian, which struck an ice-
berg in the Straits of Belle Isle, and was lost
with thirty-fve lives, and finally on the 9th of
April, 1868, the Anglo Saxon dashed upon
Cape Race, where 237 of her lading of 446
souls were drowned. Since then, though we
believe the Messrs, Allan have lost one passen-
ger steamer in the gulf, their vessels have been
remarkably free from accident till the explosion
on the Sandman on Friday.

The Second PARISH Sunday School.
The following is the letter from DR.. Carruth-
ers to the Second Parish Sunday school, read at
last anniversary:
To the Superintendent, Teachers and Pupils of
the Second Parish Sunday School:
BELOVED FRIENDS, AS cannot personally
be with you this evening, beg leave in this
versay of our Sabbath School, 1t has been
prominently the nursery of the church, and
not few, perhaps the majority of you now en-
gagged as teachers, owe to this and similar in
situations your earliest and best impressions of
religious truth. As an auxiliary of parental
instruction-vhere such instruction is given,
the Sabbath School is invaluable, but how
much more when parents themselves have yet
to learn what be the first principles of the ora
Giles of God! The seeds of divine truth thus
sown in the spring time of life, have, in NUM-
berless instances, been productive of results
over which angels have rejoced, and which
have, in their tErD, been the occasions of in.
definite aud ever moltiplyingbenefits to multi
tudes OF the human race. Mr.. Liscomb is the
last in succession of Christian brothers, some
have had the satisfaction, as superintendents,
OF seeing the work of the Lord prospecting in
their hands.
Mr.. l.. IS sacrifices of time, labor and pecu.
mary outlay for the school entitle him to the
grateful ackno wledgements of all, and 1 am
we'll assured that time will develope more and
more of the fruits of his enlightened zeal and
untiring industry in behalf of this institution.
He has emptatically s'done what he COULD and
future years will show that his labor has mot
been in vain in the Lord"
10 the teachers of the school 1 can but re-.
peat what, on similar occasions / have often
said-that they occupy sphere Of activity and
influence, the importance of which can be
measured only by the worth of the souls COM
mitted to their care and the lasting benefits in
strumentaly conferred by their assiduous and
faithful efforts on the objects of their affection.
May God by his Holy Spirit, beloved friends
continue to prosper your work of faith and
labor of love, and enable you to persevere
ste adily and patiently in a course of active
service-the highest noblest and most endur-
ing in its issues of all human enterprises
Many of the punils of the school have al
ready, through grace, received the truth in the
love of it. May such of you as have chosen
"the good part cling to it with unrelaxed tena-
city, and exemplify in every present and future
relation of life. the blessed influence of the
love and law of Christ
1 trust and pray that those of you who ave
not yet exercised repentance towards God and
faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ, may very
soon be brought in penitence and hope and
love to the Redeemer's feet, and know expert
mentally the bessedness of sins forgiven and
of the souls salvation! May the school COL
lectively receive "the blessing from on high"
is the earnest and sincere prayer of your friend
and pastor. j. j. CARRUTHERs.
