How did the managers feed 100 tons of hay, raised on the Farm? Surely five horses and a handful of sheep did not use it.

Orrawa, May &.

In the House of Commons yesterday Mr. Davies asked if it was the intention of the Government to have a lighthouse con- structed at Eastern Harbor, Inverness Co., Cape Breton, during the present year, and had Dr. Cameron, M. P. for Inverness, the authority of the Government prior to the general Provincial elections in Nova Scotia to promise that such # light-house should be constructed; if so, when was he sv auth- orized ?

Sir C. H. Tupper said in reply that the subject of the light-house was under con- sideration, upon recommendation of Ir. Cameron; that Dr. Cameron had not been authorized to make a promise, on the part of the Government that snch light-house would be constructed; and that he had Dr. Cameron’s authcrity fur saying that he had not done so, (Cheers.)

Mr. Davies also asked when and why was John McLeod removed or dismissed from the position of inspector over the repairs at Broad Cove Marsh Pier, Cape Breton, and who was appointed in his place.
