Home From a P,sasaAl Vtc,tion In
the pr. VICES.

Miss Hannah Pratt has r.taru from he,
recent trip to the Provinces, where size en-.
joyed a most delightful visit. She speaks
enthusiastically of the cordial hospitality of
the people Of st John and Of the many de-
lightful scenic beauties of that section. In
company with a lady frieni she visited
Moucton to enjoy view of the very high
tides which come up the Pettiicodiac river
at this point. The tide here rises to the
enormous height Of sixty feet. Vessels
which lie in the mud at one p)riion
this incoming torrent. Miss Pratt also had
steamer ride upon the boistercus waters If
the Bay Of Fundy. Had there been no
such thing as seasickness in the world, she
would have resped a rich harvest of en-
joyment and treasured memories from This
event. One of The amusing things noticed
by Miss Pratt upon her Moncton trip was the
"blue nose" way of reckoning time. They
have the same old course Of Sisyphus aud the
stone with twice a. high 4 hill. Instead of
be ginning from IL to count again. they con-
tinue on to "a so that the church notices
read "a o'clock, IS o'clock. etc. etc.
Miss Pratt i, looking quite robust after
her veil carmel respite from her arduous and
wearing work Evidently she fau d the briny
breezes of Old Fundy OF the res. invignrating
kind Last Sunday Miss Pratt preached in
three different toU ns to large aud appreciative
She will remain quietly at
her hume in this cits for few days ard
will not preach again till the 18th inst,
when she will begin series of meetings in
the Con srezational church at Winthrop.
The many and warm frien "a Of Miss Pratt
will be giad to see her again and will unite
in the wish that her vacation has been both
an enjoy able and beneficial one.
