 aster-Probably a Barque.


 Halifax, N. S., Dec. 24.-The govern ment steamer Newfield returned to- night from a visit to Sable Island and brings advices of a disaster to an un- known vessel. The officials at the island believe that the vessel was barque of about five hundred tons, but nothing was found that gave clue to her iden- tity or the nature of her cargo. No boats were found amongst the wreck age, which all drifted ashore at the east end of the island. A strong gale is blowing and the sea is so heavy that 1t is impossible to launch a life-boat. The barquentine was partly dismasted, had lost her foretopmast and headgear, and was evidently in bad condition. Nothing more was seen of her after she got off the bar.

Berlin, Dec. 24.-The weekly journal, Prince BismarckFRAFRAF zullunft, combats the statement that Prince Bismarck has suddenly become an enthusiastic supporter of the Chinese expedition and that during his recent visit to Friedrichruh Emperor William confided to the prince his plans. It says: Emperor William and Prince Bismarck did not exchange a syllable as to politics and the Chinese policy is solely the emperor's. It Is the interest of both men that this fact should not be obscured and those zealous persons who are always trying to represent Prince Bismarck as a secret oollabora- tor in the changing experiments of a new course will assuredly get no thanks either from Potsdam or Friedrichs- ruhe."

Mr. Mac Burnett:-I received

We are all well satisfied so far, and
have about done planting corn, our
first planting is up. Wheat and
oats look well. Everything is get~
ting green here now. we feed our
horses only when we work them
hard. We have got 80 acres in
corn, 80 in cotton and. 40 in wheat
and oats, and have got 35 acres
rented cut in wheat and 40 in cot
ton and corn. We are g1ing TO

up in good shape SO far, though it
has been raining one of those old

days and nights, and it is still
