Some of them, however, had been away to +he States, and had returned for a summer vacation, and notwithstanding the injunc- tion of thejr priest, resolved tu have a ‘good time.” have a dance in one of the farmers’ houses, and gathered together the young folk from ali around. They employed a fiddler and provided eatables and drinks, and were in the midst of their hilarity whon the priest, uninvited, walkedin. A check was at once put to the gaiety, and many of those present began to get out by the back door. The priest then walked deliberately up to the
fiddier, and guietly took from him the violin, sayimg that he did not allow such doings in his parish ;
and giving those preseut a lecture on the sinfulness of their couduct in disobeying hig commands, walked off with the fiddie to his own home. There was no more frolicking in that parish; and, although some grumbling was afterwards heard, yet the people had sense enough to know that the priest had acted for their benefit.

This infuriated Pierce, who began to see that it was to get some excuse to take away his horse, that Abe) had refused his former tender, and losing all control of himself, he rushed inte his home, snatched from the hooks an which it hung, a musket with a bayonet on it, that had, no doubt, been left when the man-of-war landed the emi- grants, and rushing up to Abel ran him through the body, killmg him almost in- stantly. Tie constable jumped on the horse’s back and fied for Bay Fortune, where he told his melancholy story ; but by the time the settlers gathered and proceed. ed to Pierce’s house, no sign of the maur- derer could be seen. The body of the un- fortunate agent was found lying stiff and

that flowed unstaunced from the desperate wound he had received; and no sound could be heard about the place. An en- quiry was immediately instituted as to the whereabouts of Pierce, and a reward of £50 was offered for his apprehension ; but the settlers, hearing the right of the story, had sympathy for the unfortunate man and connived at his escape ina boat to New Brunswick.

A little to the eastward of Bay Fortune is the point known as Abel’s Cape, a place that has quite an interesting history attach- ed to it. | About the year 1810 an emigrant ship, ‘with a number of Irish settlers on board, bound for Quebec, was wrecked on the Nova Scotian coast, near Halifax. An English war ship was sent to their assist- ance and took the emigrants to Halifax.
Upon their arrival there, an effort was ‘made ta persuade a number of them to settle in Prince Edward Island, instead of | proceeding to Quebec, and they were offer- ‘ed farms situated on the estate of Mr.
Townsherd at Rollo Bay. It was also ar- ranged that the man-of-war that rescued
them would take them to their future home. An interesting account of the | voyage and the rescue is given in Captain Marrayat’s ‘* Life of a Naval Officer,” and although that book is a work of fiction, yet there is good yeason for believing that the
incidents reldted in connection with this /

Who advised her pupils to strengthen their minds by the use of Ayer’s Sar- saparilla, appreciated the truth that bodily health is essential to mental vigor. For persons of delicate and feeble constitution, whether young or old, this medicine is remarkably beneficial. Be sure you get Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.
“ Every spring and fall I take a num- ber of bottles of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and am greatly benefited.’’— Mrs. James H. Eastman, Stoneham, Mass.
“I have taken Ayer's Sarsaparilla with great benefit to my general health.” — Miss Thirza L. Crerar, Palmyra, Md.
‘“‘My daughter, twelve years of age has suffered for the past year from P

His farm was originally of a rather medium quality, being principally covered with fir and juniper; but now, owing to the judi- cious use of lime and large quantities of manure, few acres yield heavier crops.
As we journey through this part of the county, what particularly strikes the eye and arrests the attention of the observer is the iarge quantity of forest and unucultivat- ed land. A little to the eastward of the fortune Road is a place called Gros Haut, aod from a high hill on the road that runs past this locality the view obtained is one of wide extent—in fact, from this point a large portion of four townships can be seen and thousands of acres are visible to the naked eye. The great extent of forest, with the differing shades that mark the various kinds of trees, shading from light- est green to darkest olive, makes a picture most pleasing to the artistic eye; but the satisfaction felt at the beauty of the land- scape is marred by the thought that this valley should be the home of hundreds of indvstrious settlers. True, it may be that these lands are taken up and owned by private persons; but the fact remains, nevertheless, that they could be better oc- cupied by thriving settlements than by the ‘* forest primeval.” Forests shch as can be seen were, no doubt, common when the earlier settlers first made the welkin ring with the sound of their axes on the solid beech-wood trees; and there is no good reason why the smiling homesteads and prosperous settlements of other parts could not be reproduced in this section. : Here aud there in this landscape, a soli- tary white patch shows where some settler has begun in the greenwood to build him- selfa home, and the dark columns of smoke, rising towards the sky, tells of his efforts to clear his land.

!owaed by a Mr. Conohan, and is still stand- | ing.
| Patrick Pierce, after he got his land, | went energetically to work and made con- | siderable improvement ; and in the course} of afew years became the owner of some) live stock, among which was a very fine black horse.
Mrs. Abel, the wife of the agent, hap- pened to see this animal one day, and; greatly admired it; and having a great wish to become its owner, persuaded her husband to try and buy it. Pierce, when! asked to sell his horse, refused, it being; the only one he had, and being, besides, a great favorite with himself and his family. Mrs. Abel, however, was not to be denied ,an object when once she resolved to obtain ‘it; and she concocted a scheme by which the coveted animal should become her own, and induced her husband to carry it out. The rent that Pierce had annually to pay ‘came due in the fall of the year, and he always was prepared to pay it when called on. This year—lI think it was 1822—Abel demanded the rent as usual, and Pierce was not unprepared. He had gathered the five pounds that was to be paid, and taking itto Abel tendered him the amount. But Abel refused to accept the money, be- cause it was not in English coin—Spanish dollars being at that time the principal money in circulation—and again offered to ta buy the horsefrom Pierce. This offer was indignantly refused, and Pierce de- parted to get his money changed. Settle- ments were few and far apart in the Island in those days; and settlers with five pounds in English gold were even scarcer; and it was not until the poor tenant had reached Mr. Coffin’s, at Savage Harbor, that he was able to get the requisite amount in Eng- lish money. The journey tv and back from Savage Harbor took some time, and when Pierce returned to his home on the after- noon of the following day, he was both footsore and hungry after his long tramp.
When he reached his own house he was
astounded to meet Abel with a constable in charge of his much-loved animal, and his feelings were aroused and intensified by seeing his family crying at the door for the loss of their favorite. Hurrying forward to meet them he held out the glittering coins that had cost him so long a tramp, saying, ‘* Here is your money in English gold, here is what ] owe you ; let go my horse.”
