EDITOR EDITOR PRINCE ALBERT, OCT. 14, 1869. HOW OUR MARKETS ARE RULLED Tle produce of the late abundant har vest might be said to have just commenced to pour into our markets, and , the prices though not high were highly remu- werative, especially in Barley ; the mer- chants giving all they could afford and the farmers accepting of the prices with a good grace and pouring their produce into the market; when all at once a leak in the Erie Canal brought the trade to a stand still, by prostratiug prices in the most alarm- ing manner. The cause of this is that Oswego is our principal, almost our only market for barley, and during the com paratively short time that the barley mar | ket continues it flows into that city in such amazing quantities that the market there would be completely glutted in a single day if the means of removing it were in- tcrrupted, and the Erie Canal beiog the great outlet for the grain which pours into Oswego market any interruption to that will in a single day materially effect the Oswego market, and through it the entire markets in this Province. Unfor- tunately such an occurrence has now be. fdllen the Oswego market; when least, expected, [and when time was uousually mlntusnsin semen MISSIONARY ANMIVERSARIES, The Prince Albert Circuit Wesleyan Missionary Anniversaries will be held next week, commencing on Sabbath, 17th inst.

The Reform Conveution of North Lanark, at their meeting on the 9th mst., pitched upon Mr. Scott of Almonte as their candi- date for the Dominion Parliament in place of Mr. McDougall resigned. Hon.

This 1s most credit. able. eet ee Hurricans, storms and floods have been the order of the day with our Eastern neigh- bors during the early part of the present month, of which New Branswich has got more than her share. A special to the Leader from New Brunswick on the 7th inst., says :i--. 3 On Monday night this place was visited by a tremendous gale and the highest tide ever known. The marshes were complete- lv covered, thousauds oftons of hay were destroyed, and thousands of Cattle and sheep diowned. The dykes on the marshes are all gone; the bridges all through the country are swept away; the Eastern Ex- tension Railway 1a torn up for eight or ten miles ; the telegraph lines connecting with tha cable and Halifax are obliterated. As far as can be asceriained the tidal wave has sused great destruction on beth sides of the Bay of Funday. [In and around St.John the tide rose to a great height, carrying away and destroying a great amount of properly -- wharves wero rained; ships, houses, barne and cattle swept away ; and the brulges of the European and Nonh Amertcan Railway destroyed. There have been no through trains from Shediae to St. John since Monday. The steamer New York, which left St. John on Monday for Boeton, narrow ly escaped being wrecked. = She arrived at Eastport! in a disabled condi- tion. The amount of damage 1s incalcula- ble. 1n une small parish alone the loss is estimated at over a million dollars. Aec- counts coming in every hour show the de- struetion to be wide spread. Further reports two days later, say :-- The late etorin was very destructive be- tween Fredericton and St. John. More than fifty barns and houses were unroofed or wholly destreyed, and orchards greatly damaged. Senator McClellan estimates the loss in Albert County at half a milion of dollars. The Western line was injured by [the storm ; but the Eastern. Extension road, which forms part of the Intercelonial, was almost destroyed. 'The 4ollowing from Eastport, Maine, shows how widly ihe disaster had spread. Ti gays: -- This town was visited by a fearful storm on the 6th inst. Vessels, wharves, stores and fish houses were smashed fo atoms. -- Great quaatities of fish and cil were destroy- ed. I'he steamer New York narrowly es- caped loss with all on board. She was dniven ashore and lost both her anchors and ber rudder. Twenty-seven vessels are ashore in Rumney's Bay. The schooner Rio was lost in St. Andrew's Bay with all onzboard. A barqne ai New River was lost with all on board, 17 in number. Grand Menan was swept with all the piers and smoke housva. The towns of Lubec, Pembroke and Perry lose heavily. Honses and barns were blown down. Tis tornado is worse for Eastport than the greal fire.-- All the smoke-houses are down and the smoked Herring and oil are lost. The lose cannot be less than $500,000. A large part of the town is a perfect waste. asters; we have another instance of the wise ones at home. From the first proposition lo cross the At- lantic by steam power down to the present time, some of the would be leading savans of Britain have continued to make them- selves ndiculous by venturing to criticise where they were completely in the dark themselves-- witness the Atlantic Cable~ ders; bat still they seem hard to be taught commen modesty, for we find them again airing their conceit al the expense as they suppose, of one Lieut.

There was considerable uneasy- ness manifested in and around the shed on Sunday. That the whole thing is a farce cantot be doubted for a moment. Had the Fenians numbers and courage sufficient for the task they lack means, and their state is net sufficiently desperate to cause them to court self-destruction. eee SUNDAY SCMOOL ANNIBERSARY, The Salem Sunday School in connec- tion with the Bible Christian Church, held their first anniversary on Sabbath and Monday, 10th and 11th inst. On Sab- bath the Rev. D. Cantlon preached an appropriate and impressive sermon to a large and attentive audience.

Everything contributed 10 the success of the show--the delighifu weather, the rush of business heing over, and the satisfaction of an abundant harvest well secured, The Show was well ad- vanced ere we arrived, and everything was go'ng on with the greatest spirit while every oue appeared to be deeply interested, espe- cially in the dieplay of live stock, a very large portion of which would do credit to any township in the Dominion. The 'offi. cers and Directors were busily employed in keeping things in order snd accompanying 'the judges in the several departments. -- We were much delighted with the splendid show of Horses--it is really pleasant to see «0 many excellent young florses as are now being raised in this thriving township. We had not much opportunity to examine the other classes of stock--there were some good cattle and capital sheep, but we do no, consider that they are keeping pace with the horses. The display in the shed was most encouraging, he roots, fruit and other vegetables were first class, aud the good ladies and fasr daughters of Cartwright fully sustain their well merited reputation for skill and industry in the management of the dairy, the applisation of the neodle, and the execution of those oranameats! and fancy works which tend so much to make home attractive and comfortable. The results of this show ase of the most ancou:- aging nuture. The Officers and Directors are st no small trouble and at some considersble ex- penso in sustaining the society in the state in;which it now is, and the steady progress which the society is making ought, doubtless, in some degree lo recompense them for the toil and expense which at costs them ; but even now the results are not what they should be, for the membership eught to be increased at least three fold te what it is now.

The cat- tle shown in that large field opposite the Geutre House,and really we Jo not remem- ber seeing as many excellent cattle gather- ed together as were in that field on this oc- casion; as a proof of ihe very superior quality of stock we may state that upwards of onef hundred head passed from 1he hands of the seller to that of the buyer, and at prety lair prices. Over 70 of those which were bcught were sent south by the cenlre road, the rest were driven away in other directions. There were some_eiglit yoke of capital working oxen on the ground ; we heard the owner of one yoke aecking $1C0, and $80 was asked for another yoke. The cattle sold at good prices. Amongst the buyers present we observed Messrs. Bryan, Howard, A. Stone, A. Bongard, J. Stone, C. Crandell, -- Aud- erson, -- Becore, and several others. There was an interesting time while showing the Single Driving Horses ; there were some capital trotting races. Oue party sowed a regular 2:40, he was bitch- ed to buckboard, and carried 'a huge 1st prize ticket, obtained, we should judge, some 30 or 40 years ago. Mr. Willcox showed & handsome animal. Mr. Grah showed a large sprightly horse-- Mr. Nuble's racer was shown ; but the celebrated ¢ Billy Flin' which carried off the first prize from all competitors in the carnage stallion class at the late County Show, was here and wae a universal favorite, he carried away the 1si prize here aleo. He is decidedly a fine animal. The show al butter was highly creditable 4 10 the energy and skill of the good ladies of Saintfield and surrounding country, it was We obsetved ove of the judges 1n a proper di- lsmma, he remarked that if there had been a sufficient number of prizes offered, or if he had the power he would give every one of them a prize ; but to select two out of nine when they were all so good almost drove him desperate, and at them he went with a koife, and cut and slashed, bored, 1ased and squeezed, till he left the beauu- ful tidy rolls as if they had been put under a trip hammer.

Communications, "To the Editar of the Ontario Observer. Sir,-- After my return from Montreal I no. ticed in one of yonr. late issues a communi- cation from Messre. 'Wyait & Marsh & Co. in which they endeavor 10 make it appear that my statemeals lo the public are not correct. The reading - of their [certificate | reminded me forcibly of the old adage that iniquny and. injustice go hand ,in hand and both shall surely be punished. 1 now pro- ounce (and am prepared lo prave) the cer- tificate ! untrue--false to the .core. Mr. Wyatt endeavored for part of a day to find ,@ man to sign his false declaration and of .course failed in doing so, he was then under the disagreeabl essity of accepting the signature of an Jgnoramus, who for a pe- .qunizry consideration consented to trumpet his name at the foot of a falsehood. 'Below you will find the 'opinion of S. H. Cochrane, Eeq., the Co. Attorney, wherem he states in plain language, that after a jury is sent back to re-conmider a verdict, ceseary I could furnish you the signaigres of a score of men-- men of truth--who know that Mr. Wyatt was in the jury room svhen we were re-considering the .verdict, but it is so. well-known that it is not desirable to do so to convince ydiir readers that S. F. Marsh, Esq. !in gbmposing his certificate was actuated by the false dictates of a 8 chair, and after a proper introduction pro- |. ceeded to give the loyal toasts, afier which 1 Butter, 9 entries--1st Mrs Phillips, 20d | twelve must necessarily agree.
