L. Orf.
Sm : Since my last report to
'our Excellency, thirty-one per
ons have been registered in this
ifice, and have found employment
n this State. There are now
wenty persons on the way from
ermany and Scandinavia, via
3altimore, and may arrive in a
ew days. The registries of lands
tow embrace 332,660 acres, in al
nost every- district of the State,
or sale at reasonable rates and
in- favourable* conditions; and
early 3000 acres of good lands in
alubrious sections of the State
iave been registered to be given
s a free donation to actual set
lers, upon reasonable conditions
f improvement.
I -am glad to perceive a more
avourable consideration ot our
;tate in Europe, And the indica
ions-ire, that as soon as We can
btai'n greater and- regular facili
ies for passagc, we shall certainly
eceive a shaie of immigrati6n.
tdeed, there would now be no
runt of well inclined labour for
s, if oir people could make the
rrangemeit for an outlay of the
6bt of'tranportation.

bould be our cons.tint aim to. ac
om-plish so -desirable an arrang
1ent, and I trust, when-oar poli-ta
:-a1 position is once more assured,
bat the State will liberally su.a
ain every effort that shall be <
lade in that direction. I had,<
esides, intended to have pub-.1
shed a suggestion for an indus

ited not only to be of great advan

ould afford facilities for the prof

) large numbers they arrive,
re already, before they leave t
urope, billeted for their destina
on in the Western States, andi
at only the worthless and indif
n.rn+. remain for local engage- }
ients. This agrees entirely with
my formerly expressed opiuions,
ilthough.it seems that some of
:ur planters have obtained labour
from New York. I had made ar
rangements with a gentleman in
Pennsylvan*a to furnish labour oft
iny kind, and of a superior char

were very reasonable-and when

1urnilied his address. But I still
ontinue to believe that our resus

incurring of an immigration of

Remarkable Pistol Shooting.
The "Turf, Field, and Farm," of
the 9th instant contains a report
of a pigeon shootinir match be
tween Captain JOHN TaAvIs and
Mr. HENRY CROSTHWAITE. The
match came off in Pennsylvania,
at Sharon, on the 25th ultimo, the
day being windy, and not favora
ble to good shooting. Ta4vIs
shot with a pistol, and CRosTH
WAITE,with a shot.gun. The pistol
carried 35 to the pound. CRosTI
WAITE was allowed 35 yards rise
and 10 yards boundary, TRA
vis having 10 yards rise and 10
yards- boundary. CROSTHWAITE
was thefiavorite, the betting being
100 to 20 on the shot gan, bets
being offered that Ta.Vls would
not kill four-out of the ten birds
to be shot At.. CRoSTIWAITE
opened the match. killing the first
four birds suc-,essively, miss'd the
fifth, -the sixth i'ell beyond the
boundarf, killed the seventh,, is
sed the eighth, and' :lilled the
ninth and tenth-making. seven
killed out of the. ten. TRAVIS
then took his stand. The trap
string was pulled; he missed the
first. bird, killed the second, third.
,ul fourth, nitsed be_fifth killed
ti-sixth, and missed th*6 seventh.
he had thr-e more chances, and
must kill every bird, or CROSTH
WAITE would be winner. The
,-Turf" closes the report of the
match in the following enthusias
tic style:
The word is given, the pigeon
rises from the trap, 'wings made
swifter and stroager by the hope
of freedom. Whiz ! bang! a little
cloud of smoke, a thud on the
ground of falling body, aid the
eighth bird is added to the score
of the killed. ~The'uin th rises, the
shar-p'report of th~e pistol is again
beard, and another bird drops like
a stone to the ground. One moie
shot! The last chance. The bird
must fall within the boandary or
Crosthwaite claims the stakes and
is proclaimed the victor. No tihie
for faltering no w. Pull the string.
The captive is free. It is leaving
its priso.n house behind. Fright:
enied, destierate, springs into t'h0
air 'with the swiftness of an airr w
speeding from the bow tigh 1;
strung by athletic hands. Ah !
feet indeed must be tlie me~ssen
ger that arrests its flight ! How
quiet, breathless are the spectators.
The only stoical figure of the .pic
ture is the man standing ten yards
from the trap, pistol in his hand.
The eye flashes along the short
barrel. Hark ! the report-and
the winged flight of fear is sud
denly arrested. T he aim was true,
and the ball has performed its mis
sion well ! The- bird falls within
the boundary dying-dead ; and
the winds keep. on its course, but
now freighted with hundreds of
cheers. Captian Travis- has killed
his seven birds, tied his opponet,
and the judges pronounce the
match a draw. Mr. Crosthwaite
distinguished himself. There are
but few men in the country who
can kill their- seven birds out
of ten, on a windy day, thirty-five
yards rise, and ten yards boundary.
What, then must be said of Cap
tain Travis' shooting? He also
killed his seven birds, but with a
pist ol ! The feat is remarkable, and
deserves to be classed among the
m >st marvellous trials of sk-il!.
Travis beat himself. .Another leaf

A Canadian Miracle-A Man
Fed by the Virgin.
A Canadian paper, the Unis
des Cantons, relates the following
curious story:
A young man, naried Joseph
Le Clere, son of a farmer living
in the township of Somerset,
Eastern Township, - aged about
thirty years, and dumb from his
birth, wha is described as a "mod
el of piety," though a little imbe
cile, left his father's house on the
-2d of May, and; to the great alarm
and solicitude of his parents, could
not be found nowhere up to the
18th of the same month.
On this day ten men went out
in search of the truant, and, after
some search, found him -on the
banks of the Riviere Noire, not
far from its junction with the
B-canour. He was without
slces, and lightly clad; but al
though the weather for some time
previouls, had been almost, wintry,
he did not seem to have .suffered
from cold. To the eager ques
tions put to him by- the discover.
ers, he gave the following ac
roant of himself: Seeing that he
had lost his way, he lay down
and considered how he might best
employ himself.
-He then set to work to clear
the hush, and had actually sut
ceeded in making about a. quarter
of in acre of ground tolerably
presentable. He averred that be
had never sufferred from hnge'r;
that -a tall lady -in white, very
beautiful and ainiable, had every
day brought him two supplies ef
food, consisting of a sort of lArge
round biscuits, far better than any
fs~itish~1iid ever -e' bef6r'e.
She came to him, flying, and at
night covered him carefully wit'h
a- large quilt, which kept him
quite warm. All this be related
in a simple,'natural^manner, witb
out any sign of deception.
The article concludes thus:
These are the certain facts.
Who can explain them otherwise
than by a mysterious protection
of Heaven? If not we mi'st start
many suppositions, and it is more
natural to believe that th~e Holy
VirgFin condescended to take care~
of this young man), and to resto're
him in safety to his family as a
reward for his virtue. .
The Two Merchants.
I.
When trade gre w slack and notes
fell due, the merchant's face grew
long and blue; 'his dreams were
troubled through the night, with
sheritf"s bailiffs all in sight. A,t
-ast his wife unto him said: Rlise
up at onec,get out of bed, and get
your paper, iik and p)en, and say
these words unto all men:
*My goods I wish to sell to you,
and to your wives arrd daughters,
too ; my pricas they shall be so
low, that ch will buy before
they go.
He did as his good wife'advised,
and in the "papers advertised."
Crowds canie and bought of all he
had ; hie notes were paid, . his
dreams made glad; and he will tll
to you this day, how well did
printer's ink repay. He told~ us
this with a- knowing wink, - how
he was saved by printer's ink.
II.
The other in-a -place as tight,
contented was the press to slight;
and did not let the people know,
oif what he did or where to go.
His drafts fell due and n ere not
paid, and a levy on his goods was
made; the store was closed until
the sale, and for some time he was
in jail. A ban krupt now without
a cent, at leisure he can deep re
pent, that he was foolish and un
wise, and: did not freely advertise.
If you think the moral of this
story wise, you should not neglect
to advertise.

is very simple. A hollow tube is.

has also been grar'ted by the New

pected that a large tabe will soom
be laid between Jersey City and
Newark for transmittin, both

line should prove successful, the
company will build a passenger
pneumatic railway throughout the
State. It is said that cars can be
safely run by this method at the
ra teng forty or fifty miles an hour
