harnois, having become prejudiced
against Verendrye sent De Woyelles to
relieve him from command of the forts
and Verendrye returne ed to Montreal.
One of his sons remained until August,
1747, when we learn "he arrived from
Mackinaw at Montreal" In the fall OF
the same year he went with st. Pierre
to Mackinaw and brought back con-
voy TO Montreal.
In February, I74S, with five Cana
dians, Eve KrusteneauS, two Ottawas
and one Santeur he attacked the Mo-
haws, near Schenectady killed five
aud returned to Montreal with two
scalps, one that OF chief. On June
%, l74S he departed from Montreal for
the west sea and we hear of him no
more until 1861 when Margry tells us
he perlshed at sea November 10 by the
wreck OF the Augusta. Beauharnois
was succeeded as governor OF Canada
by Galissonere, who was a great lover
OF science, especially botany, and was
anxious to push the French discoveries
toward the Pacific ocean. This man,
though deformed and insignificant
in appearance was able, fair-mindcd,
and had the justice to restore the elder
Verendrye to the command from which
he had been deposed by Beauharnoi OF q
L
of the Order of st. Louis, and was di-
rected to resume his explorations in the
west. While planning tour up the
Saska tchewan in l749 he died Deccm-
Der 6. Galissomere dying he was sue
ceeded by Jonqulere as governor OF Can :
ada, who deposed the remaining lord of
Verendrye and sought to profit by his
fathers discoveries. Jonquiere wished
to send two expeditions to the Pacific
ocean, one by the Missouri and the
other by the Saskatchewan. He con-
suited Father Coquard. who had been u
companion of Verendrye, and asked
him If there was not q pass in the Rocky
Mountains through which they might
in course reach the great ocean beyond.
Two experienced oiiicers Marin and st.
Pierre were sent by Jonquiere to COM
mand his expeditions, the former to go
by the Missouri and the latter by the
Saskatchewan. st. Pierre excited the
hostility of the KnuteneauXs who at
tempted to kill him and burned Port
La Reive. His lieutenant, Boucher de
! Neverville who was sent to establish a
| post toward the source of the Saskatch-
evan failed on account of sickness.
| Some of his men, however,
| pushed on to the Rocky mountains and
| in 1853 established Fort Jonquiere. In
| 1853 De la Crone arrived and relieved
| st. Pierre from command of the posts
| of the vests. st. Pierre returned to
Montreal and was ordered to French
Creek in Pennsylvania, where a few
! days after assuming command he was
visited by a young man named George
J Washington. who brought letter from
Governor Dunwiddie of Virginia, COM
planning of the encroachments of the
French on the Americans. This Mr..
| Washington afterwards attained great
distinction in America and is to this
! day known as the father of his coun-
, try,o says this quaint old chronicle.
Saint Pierre was killed in September.
1855, in battle while leading u body of
hostile Indians against the Americans
near Lake George; Father Coquard:
writing from the battle field, says of
him: "We have lost this day a brave
officer in Nj. De st. Pierre"

The weather for the fortnight has been
favourable to reaping operations. The
DAYS have been bTght-the sun, indeed,
being unc0mfOrtably hot for those who
unfortunately were compelled to be ont
side-and the wind Of moderate velocity,
except at early mornings, when it has been
rather still. Good progress, we learn, has
been made throughout the Island in get
ting the ripe canes Off the land, The rains
with which we were blessed three weeks
ago, not only wonderfully revived tho
young canes, but added strength and body
to the Juice of the old ones. The conSe.
qucnce has been a great Improvement IN
Che Juice, and in the yield in the boiling
house. More rain fell three weeks ago in
the parish of ST. Thomas than any other,
and we heard IL gentleman from that par
iSh say that those rains would add 400
hhds. of sugar to the crop OF the parish.
Many of our wise.acres predicted the out
put of a larger crop this year than last.
We always doubted this and, from all
we have been able to learn, this crop is
likely to fall short Of the last by about
5000 hhds. Nevertheless, % good average
crop will still be made, and if We add to
this the improved prices which are ruling
at present, we have much cause for thank
fulness. Many of the smaller estates on
the black soils are rapidly nearing the
completion of their crops and too much
haste, cannot be made i'll the fat parishes
in getting the canes into hOgsheads, as
they are suffering terribly. The quantity
of produce exported to date has. been
1888 hhds. sugar, aud 1912 puns. mo-,
lasses, against 3,551 hhds. sugar, and
6,733 puns. of molasses at the correspond
ing period of last year. The prices in our
local market are $500 to $500 per. 100 BIS.
sugar, and $500 for hhd.; and molasSes,

planted early are looking vigorous and
fresh, but the lately -planted ones are lr.
regular and backward, Advantage was
taken of the showers three weeks ago to
put supplies; and these ar shooting un
very prettily. There has been scarcely
any rain for the fortnight the authorised
returns shelving only 10 parts all over the
island, whilst the record this week Will,
we think, be almost nil. AS fast as the, old
canes are cleared off, the trash is utilised
to cover. the banks of the young canes;

away as if he had never tasted food

hand appears to he dipping at once
into The innumerable dishes. Occa-
%sionaIly our host, with his mouth
half full, grunts Ont an entreaty that
we should taste some particular deli
cacy, and in twenty minutes all is
over. Iced rOsewater is poured upon
the fingers Of each guest from a

know that our fellow-guests and our

banks Of the river the eager crowds
collected to gaze upon what was
called originally a "MetalIurgical

seen from the corners of the Place

the behOIder with IDEAS OF might or

iron, glitteling here and there over

dismal, and unIovely, against a back

PAYNE'S DAUGHTERS.

In an old book written bya Yves
tern Congress sman, a contemporary
OF Clay and Webster, containing
"reminiscences of his time, story
is told of one of his friends, a
farmer in Kentucky named Payne,
who had six daughters, none Of
whom was blessed with beauty.
The Congressman knew them in
their homelA youth, and when he
returned a few wears later, found
them all married to good, infuen-
tial men, So great was his surprise
that he ventured to ask their father
why they all had been so sought
when other girls remained neg

'Yes, and you may say when
they had neither dover nor good
looks. Well, I'll tell you. When

Payne girls were kept apart from
the crowd, they thought their val
ue must be high. Young men came
TO break down the fence. They
like 10 break down fences"
The story was eoarsely told, per.
haps, adds the old narrator. But
there is more in ii than meets the
eve.
He was right. Every young girl
wishes, if it be Gods will that she
shall live a woman'S full life as
vile and mother, that some man
who is worthy shall some day seek
her, 10 make her his own.
The desire Is natural and right.
But il she hopes for this let her
keep up The fences.
The girls who tramps up and
down The village street, who runs
10 The shop or posioifice where
the men congregate, who tries 10
coax them to her side, is only
making herself common and cheap
in their eyes.
Lei her remember The Kentucky
farmers maxim, and be sure that
men, as cattle, like to break down
the fence, and view with contempt
that which is exposed upon the
open highway.
