During the last three years the Do- minion Government. has reneived over half a million dollars for the registration of letters. During the same period registered letters containing 821,702 have been lost, yet notwithstanding the disproportion between the profit to the Government and the loss to the individ- ual, the former assumes no responsibility for the money entrusted to its keeping, but only agrees to bc a little more care. fol.

A reporter of The Halifax Chronicle has paid a visit to the village of Terrence Bay on the Western shore of Nova Scotia, many of whose inhabitants are in a state of starvation. The fish have for several seasons failed to return to that coast, and as a consequence the peo;lc are now in abSOIutc want. The reporter visited their homes. The men , are fishermen. and havingV no land depend entirely on the sea fora livelihood. In one house he found a woman reclining in a rock- iu r chair made out of a barrel, who wa< ill for want of food. In another house a child asked her mother if the gentle- man had brought them anything to eat Gaunt hunger was there. “ That is all the food 1 have," one woman said, show- ing halfa loaf of bread. “ My husband is in Halifax looking for work, and God knows where I will get more bread when this is finished.” “ l have a ton and a half of buy,” a man said, “ and if I could sell that I could pull through." This man had nine children, and the hay would be worth about $15. The men haunt the sea, but frequently a week's labor will not result in the capture ofa singlefish. “ The fish will return some day, ” ‘is the hope that. makes the people - cling to their homes. Lower Prospect, a neighboring village, has been totally deserted. The houses are boarded up, and the inhabitants have. gone to seek bread on more favored shores. The writer in The Chronicle appeals to the charitably disposal people in the prov- ince to come to the rescue of the unfort- unate fisher folks. The same locality was similarly circumstanced in 1889, and a fund was raised for the benefit of the people, which titled them over that winter. The fishing bounty is of no use to these mom-as it is only the fisher- man who catches fish who gets the boun- ty.â€"-Glube. < -0 Alex.
