Excursion Postponed.

1t was announced yesterday that the aNeur.
sion to AnacorIes, which is to embrate all
points from Portland TO Victoria, by both boat
and rail, has been postponed until February ..
and the sale of the Northern Pacifi, property to
February 3. in accordance with that decision.
The causes for this postponement are many. the
principal ones being that the large new hotel
Anacortes, can not be opened before that date
and although there are three large hotels In An
acorles now, they are barely sufficient for the
rapidly increasing demand for accommodations
Then again requests have come in from 50 MANY
people at distance who, wishing TO purchase
In the Northern Pacific property, cannot be pres
ent Ii the beginning OF February. The post
ponement will also allow mere time for the ex-
tensive Improvements now being made

A RELIC OF HENRY VIII,

An English River Changes it's Channel
witE Historic Results.
A most interesting discovery has just
been made at the old Clinque port OF
Sandwich The Stour, a river which
has perhaps more frequently changed
it's course than any other English river,
has lately cretor"dan. old channel near
its confluence with Peswell Bay, laying
bare wreck which has proD&5ly occu-
pied its present position for several
centuries,
The vessel is one of foreign build, and
the wood is in fair state of preserva-
ton, owing TO the fact it has for many
years been embedded in the sand. II
is matter of local history that little
over 800 years ago, in the reign OF
Henry Will, an Italian vessel belong
ing to one of the popes sunk at the en-
trance to the then fourishing port OF
Sandwich.
The sand sifted round it, forming a
great bank and blocking up the en-
trance to the haven, and it is recorded
that from the date the prosperity oil
Sandwich as seaport greatly declined
1t is believed with some show of reason
that the ancient wreck now discovered
is identical with the Papal caryke, OF
carrick, which sank at this port in the
reign of Henry VIII

FARM AND HOME.
NOOntide.

Noontide.
Sunshine upon the land,
And fields of golden grain
Where busy reaperS in q faithful Dand,
Toll on thro sun and rain
And swinging scythes that circle to and fro
Across the summer air,
Where rows of stately wheat in beauty grow
Resplendent there.
Sweet are the pastures green
Where the cattle Craze around,
And flow erS within the th1ckets bloom unseen
And babbling brooks resound.
Or in the topmost branches one by one,
Among the forest trees,
The merry birds sing out in joyous tone,
Tuned to the breeze
Sunlight upon the sea,
And snowy waves of foam
That scud along the level stretch of lea,
Torn from their ocean home.
Or dancing on the topmost waves that ride
The warm, blue, hazy deep
Merges within the ebb and flow of tide.
Where pillows sleep.
NOOntlde on sea or shore
When summer suns are high.
All /! rest thy weary footsteps evermore
Where fragrant grasses lie,
Ere silent night has come in solitude,
With stars of countless hue,
And shadows fall upon the leafy wood
Or cloud the blue.

Good Small Fruits.

A New England fruit grower writes as
follows to the CultiVator:
During the winter months we have
time to calculate our profits and loss,
and to find out What crops are paying,
which ones are doing SO poorly as to
warrant discontinuance of them, and
which ones will pay for more care being
bestowed upon them. In raising small
fruit for market, l always make the
practice of trying one or more OF the
novelties or new varieties to find out
for myself what they are worth. This
little experimental farm is conducted
along with the other work, and it often
yields me considerable study and profit
When a new fruit in this garden has
successfully passed the test, it is trans
ferred to the main garden and cultivat-
ed as crop for money. In this way /
always heed the recommendation OF
other growers, but never accept their
words as conclusive proof that it would
pay me to grow the same fruits. On
the other hand, it is not good policy to
avoid all new fruits until they have be-
come established as old reliables. Then
everybody is growing them, and great
deal of money may have been missed
by not raising them when they were
scarce. 1t is the first successful man
that makes the money.
In growing currantS | have always
found the following varieties, which are
all more or less new, worthy of careful
cultivation: Lees Prolific among black
currants. The berry is about the size
