FIRST CLASS CARS.
Rapid Development of the Country.
|
Montreal, Feb. 7.
I arrived here to-day. The train was about eight hours late, but when the fear- ful snowstorm, through which we came, is remembered, the wonder is that we got here at all. Coming along through the ‘Province of Quebec, between St. Flavie land Levis, | was surprised to see rows of what looked to be pins abont 6 or 8 inches long sticking in the snow. And when I tell you that this was all that could be seen ,of the line fences of the farmers, you will Ihave an idea of the snow fall. Fully twelve feet on | many places above the snow fences.
Starting from Pictou at 13.45, on Tues- day, the Sth, 1 found that we would have 'plenty of fun onthe run to Truro. The ' Pictou, Stellarton and New Glasgow Ourl- jing Clubs were on their way to Halifax, and | these devotees of the ‘‘ roarin’ game ” made {things lively. They were going to a grand | ** boaspiel ” of Maritime Province curlers, {which was to be held this week in Halifax. No doubt you have full particulars of it ere this reaches you.
At Truro we found the express for St. John, N. B., which left at once, taking us through to Moncton at a lively rate. In railway travelling little can be seen of the country through which you pass, and anyway, everything of interest on this route has been written about before. I eould not help remarking, however, the Jarge amount of passenger traftic between the growing towns alcng this route. As we go west, the improvement in- the appearance of the passenger coaches is noticeable. The cars that run from Pictou to Halifax are very ordinary —their appearance is rather dingy. On the St. John express an im- proved class of cars can ve seen, but when you enter the first-class coach starting for Quebec from Moncton you are struck with the beautiful appearance they present. Per- haps it is owing to the incandescent electric lights by which they are illuminated ; but certainly they presenta very bright and cheerful appearance. The conductor from Moncton to Campbleton was telling me— and he is not by any means an cld man— that he remembered the time when there was ouly one maila week from Amherst to Shediac—that he used to drive a coach on that route. Just imagine the enormous development that has since taken place in this country. Large towns. Ay! almost cities have sprung up every few miles. Trains two or three times a day rush along each way. Thousands of well-dressed, com- fortable looking, apparently happy people are coustantly on the move, and the very air itself seems charged with a species of electrical activity that is most stimulating. Who can despair of our country’s future / Who dare assert that we cannot live with- out obtaining assistance from our neighbors to the South.
MONCTON TO LEVIS.
We reached Campbleton early on Wed- nesday morning, and were here joined by a number of passengers, among whom were some friends. And what a noise they did make with their continual chatter. The difference between the French and English is very noticeable, not only in their appearance, but intheir manner and way of talking. They appear tu have so much to say to each other, and their viva- city was only equalled by a lot of school- boys and girls, who were on the train from Pictou to Stellarton. At Metapedia, I noticed the large building used by a Fish- ing Club from New York, that stands near the station. This part of the country is celebrated for sa'mon and trout fishing, aud the waters of the Restigouche and its branches have many visitors during the summer. At this season of the year, how- ever, very little but snow and rocks are seev, andthe number of covered snow- sheds show that the railway runs through a country difficult to traverse. At River du Loup quite a town has grown up. Here are two saw-mills, aniron foundry, the I. C, R. Railway shops and a number of other industries, dependent more or less on the road. The Superintendent of the P. E. 1. Railway was formerly located at this place, as foreman of the railway shop, and is kindly remembered for his geuial quali- tiss The “boys” at Rivcr du Loup wiss his leadership.
A raging snowstorm and blizzard was act- ively at work when we got along to this part of the road. The pufling of the engines— for we had two—showed the difficulty of getting the train along, and the starting up of the stoves in the cars, told us that the steam by which they had been heated, had to becut off. The I. C. R. cars have every modern convenience, and when the difficult nature of the country through which it runs is remembered, we must acknowledge that its officers deserve great credit for the way they performed their duties. The country is rocky and mountainous from River du bree to Trois Pistoles, and the inciemency of the weatlier adds greatly to the difficulty ‘of making time by this route. When the Short Line via Fredericton is completed, ivery few passsengers for Montreal will hew>-s this way during winter.
When we got to Levis we were six hours behind time, and although the Conductor had assured us that a train would go through to Muntreal after we arrived, yet
}

they started from Quebec in the ferry boat that runs across to Point Levis, but owing to the storm and heavy ice in their way the hoat did 1°% succeed in crossing until six- teen oc) The train for the Eastern Townships and Montreal left at the usual time, fourtee:: o'clock, and the Quebec pas- sengers had (» it until one o'clock in the morning. So vir readers, when they are delayed on the LP. E. I. R. for an hour or so, can console themse!ves by knowing that other people are sometimes put to just as much, if not greater inconvenience.
One of the delayed passengers, the wife of a prominent local politician, was indig- nant at being so long delayed, and tele- graphed, at a cost of forty cents, to Mr. Wainwright, the Superintendent of the G. T. R. at Montreal. But it did no good. She had to wait, but, doubtless, some one will catch it for her delay.
Another passenger, however, helped to while away the hours by his pleasant re- marks, and it is wonderful how little will amuse the ordinary human when he has little to do, and is idle perforce. We got to Montreal at 14 o'clock and found a different atmosphere from what prevailed on the Island when we left. It was freezing sharp, but people did not seem to mind it. What a place Montreal is for handsome furs! Gentlemen wear caps and coats ; ladies have collars and tippets and coats and muffs. The sleighs are covered with
furs. In fact everything has a fur-eign look. (Don’t tell the Diamond Bookstore man. ) G. F. O.
Entertainment Last Evening. The Entertainment in St. Peter’s Schoolroom was held last evening, as advertised. A large audience was present, who listened most atten- tively to the different items. A selection from the Boys’ Band opened the programme. A piano duet by Messrs. Watson and Earle, and songs by Mr. Maynard, Miss Palmer, Mr. Carvell and the Misses McMahon, were well rendered and received with ap-
plause. The readings by Miss Lawson and Mr. Cotton interested and pleased the au-
dience. Mr. Vinnicombe played charmingly, with his usual taste and skill, a selection that delighted his hearers. A piano solo by Miss Green proved her an accomplished performer. Two dialogues were given by members of the Band of Hope. The first was very well acted, though the mismanagement of a tall hat and small cigarette, on the part of Mr. Nice, was painfully apparent. Of the other dialogue, ‘** Apartments,” we must say that a little more practice would have benefitted some of those taking part, though ‘‘ Charlie” and his wife afforded plenty of amusemett to the smiling spectators. The Toy Symphony was given at the close of the entertainment, and, in the opittion of many present, was even bet- ter rondered than at its first production in the Y. M. C. A. Hall.
Death of a Deaf Mute.
There died at the residence of Mr. Alex- ander Dingwell, of Bay Fortune, on the 26th ult., a deaf mute named Harry Cross, aged 65,so0n of poor old Betsy Connolly, who died in the Insane Asylum not long ago. Harry, from infancy, was brought up in the family of Mr. Dingwell, and wase faithful and industrious man. He was never educated, but was, nevertheless, a keen judge of eharacter, and in the practi- cal bearings of every day life well informed and observant. In his own silent way he led a good life, never neglecting, with signs and sulemn gesticulations, to pray on rising in the morning and before retiring at night. When he found death approaching he seem- ed fully conscious of his condition, and as long as he was able to raise his hands to- wards heaven kept signing in prayer. The funeral was largely attended, the services being conducted by his pastor, Rev. J. G. Cameron.
th Music at Georgetown.
A correspondent at Georgetown writes:
‘“‘The Boys’ Rrass Band of Georgetown played at the skating rink last evening for the first time. Their music gave quite a buoyancy of spirit to the skaters, who glided around far more lively than usual. The firiends present were not many on account of the snow storm, but among them we were pleased to see a few from Montague and Souris. All appeared de- lighted with the display of youthful talent. Two or three of the pieces’ were exceedingly well played for amateurs. The band is organized only a short time, and Mr. Worth has been instractor for the past month. Their progress reflects credit on themselves and him. At the closing strains of our Imperial anthem, the boys were grect- ed by three ringing cheers.

Have a System.
Whoever you are, whatever your line of action, reduce your life toa system. This is the open secret of all smooth and rapid work. It is always the systematic people who get over the most ground with the least friction. Watch this successful business man; observe that thrifty housewife ; mark yonder pastor as he manipulatesa hundred interests. Vull of aftairs, how do they contrive to clutch from the grinding whirl co many serene intervals of leis. ure? The answer is, system. "Tis a sad and common thing when one would sit down and draw. a long breath, or when one might enjoy geome otherwise legitimate pleasure, to be clamored upen by duties undone. Why make alumber room of your life, full of* odds and ends of unsorted things? Some folks are animated oonfusion.
