but little from him in relation to him.

where he was hurt; to both questions
he answered, Don't know" | gave him
some water, and asked him if he would
have some more, to which he said, IF
you please" This is all he said to me-
and as far as rcould learn, he said moth
ing further to any one. The real cause
of death, in my Judgment, which was
hastily made up, was internal hemorr-
hage. There was concusSion of the spine
produced by the fall, from which he raj
lied to some extent; but internal hem
orrhage was the immediate cause of
death. How he fell, or the distance he
fell, no person knows, as it was in a
large woods, timbered heavily with high
trees. 1t is painful aceident,f for which
no person is responsible, so far us l can
learn. | applied such restoratives as
had with me, but without avail; he had
all the attention that we could possibly
give him under the circumstances. We
sent for wagon. and carefully brought
him to town, but just as we arrived al
the hotel he expired. We are sorry
very sorry, that this accident happened
and you have our heartfelt sympathies
He suffered but little, and that only

To tile friends of the deceased:


desire to make the following state.
ment, that Mr. Cowen made the ascen-
sion, and striking tree fell, and lived
about two hours after he fell to the
ground. We did not know that he was
going up in the balloon. but we under.
stand fromother parties that he could
not be kept from going up. We think
Messrs. White Bros. did all they could
to keep him from going, but he would go
we are very sorry the accident occurred,
and think that no one is to blame for the
accident. / desire to make this expla-
nation to exonerate all parties. Dr. Hen
ry, who was there after the balloon came
down, will give you further explana-
tion of the matter. Resp'y,

"His E1cellency Sir A Musgrave and

DOMINICA.
From the Dominican we copy the
following notices in regard to two
important plants.
.'The Liberian Coffee we are happy
to add, has been successfully intro
duced into our Island, by the late DR..
Imray, and now promises to yield
lucrative fruits and profitable results
under the careful superintendence of
its cultivators, especially by the Pro-
prietor of the st. Armonant estate,
This valuable plant, we earnestly
hope, will be further extended, and
in time become one of our staples.
(Ertact from the Jamaica blue book
1879
Liberian Coffee-There has been
a great demand for seeds of this plant
which the Garden has been unable to
supply.
The Superintendent reports Of this
Coffee that 'taking equal numbers of
average fruit OF the two species (Ara-
bian and Liberian) grown side by
side On the same ground, the relative
weight of the Liberian was as eight
to three of the Arabian. It is slow
in maturing, taking fully twelve
months from the season of Towering
and it appears probable that it will
not be SO easily pulped as the ordinary
kind. Making due allowance for its
much more robust growth, the same
pruning and treatment as is applied
to the Arabian seem to be adapted to
the management Of the Liberian"

This is doubtless due to the develop
ment of the fruit trade with America.
People are beginning to see how pro-
ftable it is to cultivate this fruit,
which requires little capital in its
esta Enlistment, and is seen to meet

BARBADOS.
This island was healthy and the
weather was very dry. The Globe
has the following on the Telegraph
Company:
"lhe Conference between the Com
mitteo Of Commerce and the Council
Of the General Agricultural Society
on the question Of the increased Tele-
graph Subsidy, has been held, and
has borne somewhat barren fruit in
the following Resolution, Ingenious
ly formed" as a contemporary puts
it, ITO express nothing,"-''That this
meeting is of opinion, that it is all
important that the Island be kept in
Telegraph communication ; and they
trust the Delegates may be able, in
concert with Delegates from the
other Colonies, to propose satisfac-
tory arrangements to carry this out"
No one, Of course, denies that telegra-
phic communication is important, but
the question is, are the present Com
pany to dictate their own terms by a
threat that we must accept their
ultimatum or be cut off from telegra-
phic communication with the rest of
the world? We think not. The
advantages Of communication have
been reduced to a minimum, nay,
sometimes render mischievous and
damaging to trade by the wretcKed
manner in which the service has
been carried out and we believe
that it would be rather a fortunate
accident if the entire line could be
ir%retrievabIy lost, and make way for
a more healthy enterprise. As we
write, the now familiar notice lies
before us of, "break in the Gable"
between st. Thomas and San Juan,
and fortune only knows what other
announcements will be made between
the time that we write these lines and
the time that they reach the hands Of

Not long ego the Rev. Robert Col

Not long ego the Rev. Robert Col
Iyer told the story Of his life to the
students of Eastmar's Business Col
lcee. IN Poughkeepsie, drawing from
il many pointed morals. The "story'
IS we'll worth reading and pondering;
and we can not forbear giving our
readers one or two brief extracts from
the published report. Mr.. Collyer
mentioned four things which. Gas he
had learned his lesson, go to make a
man: good birth, good breeding, your
own good endeavor, and that good
fortune which is but another name for
the goodness of God" He described
the simple home in Yorkshire, paying
his mother a tender tribute for the
cleanliness and wholesome regiment
that secured perfect health, and for
the training that repelled vice and fos-
tered self-impovemezt. In conclud-
ing his "talk," Mr., Collyer gave the
following characteristic and sensible
advice "When you get through with
the college, and take hold your life's
work, do not think of making a for
tune as the one grand aim of your lite,
but of carving out home, finding a
good, true woman for your wife, and
raising, please God, a good family. l
do not cry down money. l think it
IS good servant and good friend,
but 1t is about as cruel master IS ever
used a whip. A shrewd farmer said to
me once, Never marry for money, my
lad marry for love but if thou finds
nice girl that has money, try to love
her. | would not say that to you, but
this: If you find the nice girl, some
such match for you as my mother was
for my father, and if you love her,
marry her, if she will have you, though
she has not dollar to her name. This
is sore evil under our American sun.
that there should be such misery and
disaster in the welded life. 1t lies in
this, that in the most momentous thing
We can do we so often use the least
Judgment. We who have had our
turn want the young men of your birth
and breeding to raise a generation of
a nobler and better type, boys and
girls strong of arm and sure of foot,
deep-chestedy sunny-hearted, full of
faculty, and wholesome to the inner
most nerve. and to do this you must
do two things: give them noble moth
ers, and don't Finger shivering on the
brink, and fear to launch away but
when you know you can takeeare ofa
home in a simple, wholesome fashion,

The Duke Of Sutherland has just
placed himself at the head of con-
pany for the purchase of sixty square
miles OF land on the line of railroad
10 Omaha, for the purpose of found
ing a colony Of Scotchmen. This
step IS supposed to be taken III antici-
patton of some great changes about to
take place in the administration of the
Dukes estate in Scotland, consequent
on observations made on his recent
visit over here. Some years ago the
world was disturbed by the departure
for New Zealand, from his grand
mothers estate, of whole clan, with
its young chief at its head. leaving the
land untitled and rntenanted, to be
used for shooting moors. The young
chief has returned an aged man, but
the children will remain settled in the
land of plenty to which they were
driven, and in which they have found
new tics.-N. Y Sun.
