The Wolfe Island Ferry By-Law, St. Lawrence, June 18.--(To the Editor) s. I see in the Weekly British Whig a copy of a by-law to be sub- mitted to the electors of the town- ship of Wolie Island on July 2nd next, to raise. $20,000 by debentures, for 'the purchase of a ferry-boat, to be managed and controlled by the municipal council. Then it reads there is no existing debenture debt; which ix true, But if we are out of debt, how is it that there is over $1G§ .in- terest accumulated since January ist last? I think that if we would look intothe standing of the township with the county, we would find that all we would have left of ; would be a small amount, and then we would not he on a square account with the counfy."

When we lea® this world of changes, When we leave this world of care; We shall find our missing loved one In our Father's' mansion fair. We miss thee from our home, Tilly, We miss thee from thy place, A shadow o'er our life is cast We miss the sunshine of thv fac, We miss thy kind and willing hand, fhy fond and earnest care: Our 'home is dark without thee, We miss thee everywhere, One by one earth's ties are broken, As we see our love decay, And the hopes so fondly cherished Brighten but to pass away One by one our hopes grow brighter, As wa near the shining shore, For we know across the river Wait the loved omnes gone before. Peaceful be thy silent slumber; Peaceful in thy rrave so low, Thod no more will join our number, Thou no more our; sorrows know; Yet again we hope to meet thee, When the day of life has fled, And in Heaven with joy to greet thee, Where no farewell tears are shed.

THE NEW YORK STRIKE, A Former Kingstonian Writes Concerning It. New York, June 13.--(To the Edit. or): I mee in the Kingston papers that 100,000 men are on strike in this city. There are 19,000 carpenters on strike, or rather there are 10,000 lock- ed out. In fact, there are 120,000 men locked out in the building trades. The trouble started by the brother hood of carpenters striking against the amalgamated society of carpens ters. 1 the builders employed the amalgamated, others would not work. The amalgamated society advertised to toke men into their union at cheap rates, promised to get them em- ployment at $4.50 per day. The men left the brotherhood and joined in large numbers. The brotherhood saw they were barking up the wrong tree, and ordered their men back to work. The bosses did not want the bro- therhood, as they had signed a con tract for two years and broken it in six months. The board of building trades took into their association the Team Drivers' Union, which struck for more pay and shorter hours. The unions said if the lumbermen hired "scabs" to deliver their lumber the unions would not use it; so the lum bermen locked up their yards and would not deliver any material. The brickmen and other material furnishes also réfused to deliver any material, s0 120,000 men were idle. . The board. of building tradés fought it out for four weekj, and then the mechanics left the board and started a new board with. only skilled me- chanics. The lumbermen and other building material furnishers opened up business, but the builders thought they had a chance to kick. They say they will not go on with the work until the unions. do away with the walking delegates, declaring, with some reason,. that the delegate wants to run their business. The delegate has power to call the men off any job when he thinks he has a reason. The builders say the delegate calls on a strike and then goes to the builder and offers to put the men on to wor again for a sum ranging from $100 to $5,000, and they have been getting it for years. The men 'lose their time, and time is money. The men here have to pay their rent in ad vance or live on the street. A man with a' family has got some tall figuring sometimes, The amalgamated carpenters' so ciety was started in.England about sixty years ago. It is beneficial; it takes care of men in sickness, out of work, in old age, on strike, during loss of tools, etc. Some of the mem bers wanted to secede years ago. The society said to go ahead. Then they started the Brotherhood of Carpen tors some twenty years ago, and they have lodges all over the United States and Canada, with few benefits, if any. They will take most anyome into their union. The amalgamated umion will not take anyone but a good work man, and he must be of good moral character. It would surprise anyone to see 'the blocks of buildings, half- finikhed here--not a man working on them. They are worth many millions. Neither the men not the contractors are all angels. This is only one of the strikes we have here; new ones every day, and lote of broken heads. Twenty-five years ago all hands had good wages, were treated right, vin everything wene along quietly. Now, a man never knows what hour he ig off. -- OLD KINGSTONIAN. ' IN OUR OWN CIRCUIT News Ol The Districts On Roth Bides Of The Line.
