A rEMrBsTUoUs VOYAGE.
The Ste amship Montrears Hard Expert
ence.


The steamship Montreal, Capt. Bouchette, of
the Dominion line, made her first trip from
Liverpool to Portland, arriving yesterday
morning. The Montreal is a fine ship of the
same size as the Toronto, being, in fact, sis
ter craft. The Montreal brought four cabin
passengers 10 this port, three intermediate and
fifteen steersge. She also brought large
cargo, including lot of valuable stock for the
Corcoran rancho, which were left at Halifax
to go west via Quebec, and all landed in good
condition.
The ship, when she arrived, was badly iced
and showed signs of hard treatment. The
ever had, and, we understand, he is corroborat-
ed by Capt. Bouchetse. The Montreal left
Liverpool Feb. 8th at p. m. On the 10Th and
18th heavy gales were experienced with high
seas and rain. Monday the gale became terrific
with heavy cross seas, which swept the decks
These seas washed four of the main hatcles
off, tore. the covers off the hose-pipes and
washed the anchors adrift This terrible gale
was accompanied with binding snow. By
Wednesday morning the gale had increased to
a hurricane. The squalls were fearful and
seemed as if they would blow the ship out Of
water. The great seas washed away No 5 boat
stove No. boat, washed away the matches
which had been secured with great effort, tore
away the ladder leading to the saloon house,
and smashed the saloon skylight letting
heavy sea below. In the afternoon the gale
moderated somewhat, but still the winds blew
with great force the remainder of the week.
Monday the squalls were very heavy with tre-
mendous showers OF hail. The officer declared
the hailstones were large as marbles.
Tuesday the ship fell in with large fields of
ice and huge icebergs in lat. 40 So long. 47e
so. From thence to the westward of Sable Is
land there were moderate winds and snow, but
on Wednesday, The 21st, very dirty weather
was encountered, and Friday Halifax was
reached. From Halifax thither the ship ex-
perienced the usual weather. The Montreal
was off Half Way Rock at 30 O'clock Mon
day evening, but had TO wait for pilot, and
therefore was not locked till 8 o'clock Tues
day morning.

ter consultation, the surgeons decided
that the only way to prevent his death
from starvation was to cut an opening
into his stomach and feed him to the
stomach direct. A hole was accord
ingly made under his fifth rib, the
stomach was opened, and now he is fed
in this novel way. One Of the sur
geons told me that he thought that the
mans life could be prolonged for a
year. He has no pains, and his men
tai faculties are strong and active, but
he will gradually die from exhaustion,
since the food which his stomach is
able to digest is of the lightest kind,

THE USUAL RFsULT. 1t is not to be de-
MED that good sewing machine is one Of
the most important appurtcnanccs of the
modern household.
We thought we had good machine in
our household until one day the agent of the
Nc,o Home presented himself at our door
and proceeded to deliver an Grafton upon its
characteristic merit.
But" we answered. "our machine serves
us nicely and suits US well, and we do not
care for another"
The agent, however, begged the privilege
of leaving one of his machines with us, 'tor
the ladies to try"
The request was not unreasonable so we
granted it-but more to oblige the agent
than anything else; for really we did not
want the machine, and had not the remotcst
idea of buying it.
The machine once in the house, it was nat
ural that the ladies should look it over; they
did so, and as consequence fell in love
with it. They say that without the slight
est wish to decry or disparage any other
machine this, all things considered, is, in
their opinion, the most desirable one to be
had
The upshot of the whole matter was that
the old machine was disposed of, and the
Light Running New Home" installed in
our household. 1t is pronounced genuine
beauty and real comfort, and ''our folks"
wanted us to tell other folks about it.
This unrivaled machine is manufactured
by the NEW HOME SEWING MACHINE
CO., 30 Union Square, New York, who wish
us to say that all who will send for their new
| illustrated catalogue and enclose their adver-
tisemcnt (printed in another column,) will
receive set of fancy advertising novelties,
of value to those collecting cards, &c.
