The land skirting the Bay of Fundy is ster

through the whole length of the Province.
It being surrounded on tivo sides by water the

Tlicrejis much excellent land at the bend of
the Buy. Here is situated the Great Tanta-
mar llarsli, so called which is dilied in, and
is iipit-'ai'ds of fifteen milt-s in length and
about four miles wide in its broadest tart.-
\-‘Vfien the Loyiilists first came to New
Brunswick in 1783. for a number of years

7l"he present popiilatton is about one him-
dred» and sixty ttioustind. There are several
causes which seems to have retarded the
growth and settleiricnt of the Province. The
systcm of making large grants of land to in-
dividuals and (‘.0m_DrllllPS has tended to en-
hmce the price ofthe hind to the settler, and
to loc.k'it tip from the market. The colonial
dep ntlencc upon Great Brittin, although in
some respects beneficial, is in others most
injurious to the b--st interests of the Province.
lii traveling through New England you will
find :1 siitzm-ssion of thriving villages, and if
you seek for the cause of their prosperity,
you will fiticl it to arise from encouragement
given to nianufactorhis. \Vlien smiill manu-
fzictorivs, such as tanncries, paper mills, iron
works, hat making, &c. are established, it
good itiarket is soon opened for the products
of the soil, real estate rises in value, the
iiriisuns find a plenty of business, and the
prosperity of the tit-igliborbood is advanced.
Every thing is innnufzictured in Great Brit-
uiti for the Province. Even the shoes and
nails for their horses and cattle are imported,
and as it natural result, you find but few
villages in the Province except such as arise
'I.‘l'l€l'(! IS also
a lack of enterprise and energy arising in
port, probably fom the character of their
French and emigrant portion of their popula-
tion, and in p=irt.from their form of govern-
inr-nt. With less tintiiral advaiitztges. Maine
has far outstripped the Province in Wealth
and population, iind will continue to keep
ahead oflter, until there shall be a radical
change from her present condition in the
character of her population and the form of
her political institutions.
The mineral resources of New Brunswick
tire very great. There are large beds of
gypsum at the head of the Bay and also on
the river Tobique. Sandstone abounds in
several places,'from which grinclstoncs are
qtiarried. Limestone of the best quality
abounds in almost every section ofthe Prov-
ince. It is manufactured into lime near the
city of St. John and at a place called Le
Etang, hen!‘ the Bay of Pt|SSfim=|qll0(l(ly,
from whence it is imported into the-States in
considerable quantities. Iron ore is found
in many places, and near \Voodstock there
is an immense deposit, sufiicient, it is said to
supply all North America for centuries; but
the great mineral resource of the Province
is found in her immense field of butuininous
coal. According to Dr. Gesne.1"s flCt‘Olll'llS
here is found a coal bed exceeding in its di-
mensions any found in great Britain, and is
one ofthe largest ever discovered on the globe.
It lies in the shape of a triangle, beginning
on the West side of the St. John river, near
the Oromoto Lake and thence continuing to
widen otit to the east line of the Province,
whence it embraces nearly the whole short-
of the Gulf, and containing an area of about
eighteen thousand square miles, and covers
about one third of the Province. A large
portion of this extensive field is accessible to
vessels from the several rivers and bays with
which it is penetrated in various directions.
It is worked to some extent in several places,
and the coal is found to be similar to that of
Nova Scotia.
As much of the Province yet remains in
a wilderness state, the price of wood for fuel
is cheap, and as coal can be imported from
GreritBritain at little expense, the timber
ships being desirous of taking it for ballast,
there has not been sufficient encouragement
to work these coal mines extensively. The
time, however, is not far distant whenlthis
coal will be wanted, and when the mines
will be extensively tvorireil, and will add
immensely totheimportance of N.Brunswick.
An unnecessary Question.---‘Will you
take this woman to be your wedded wife !’
said a magistrate, who was placing the in-
dissoluble knot of matrimony on a couple
mutually attached to each other, in the state
of Illinois.
‘Well, I stvar, squire,’ said the male part-
ner to the contract—a wolfish looking c_us-
tomer, by the way—‘Well, [ swar. squire,
-you must be a green one to ask sich a ques-
tion as that ar. Do you think I’d be such
a plaguy fool, old feller as to lose the sport
‘ofthe ba-r’hunt, and take this gal off from
the quilting frolic, if I wasn't conscripluous-
lv siirtin and detarmined to bitch on to her ?
' ‘ Drive on now with the business, squire, and
ask me no more such darn’d foolish ques-
tions as that.’
\Ve heard it suited, not_ long siiict-, that a
’B:ti'ikrttpt went into the shop of a-creditor, to
whom he oughtito have betn under great
oblyigmtions for iissistzince rentlertd, and with
it sitrggering air, said he had paid all ’lllS
dt-bts, —did’r.‘. owe ti ctn;t——lic' had taken
tlie.beni-fit ofthe biiiikrtipt act. If this re-
titarlt was made seriously it indicates loose
morality, in reference to the obligation to
pay debts cotitractcrl in good fiiitli, which it

not ntoially. It relieves him from the i-t~xa-
ion ofsheriffs and suits in court, but it does
not relieve him of the (low to pay his dt-his
if he ever is able. The (ll--rigti ol the bank'-
rtipt lawis good, benign. It is designed to

in debt; whose hands are tied so ‘light that

To relieve such persons bankrtip: laws are

For some weeks past the woods in the neigh-

literally S\\'2l|‘lll€J with them. VVithin the
past week or two they have crossed the Ni-

See the traveler. Does duty call himfor
a season to leave his beloved circle ? The
iniage of his earthly happiness continues
-vividly in ‘his reiiteiiibranct-. It _quickeiis'
‘him to diligetice; it cheers him under diffi-
cultivs; it makes him hail the hour which
sees his purposes accomplished, and his face
turned towards home; it communes with
him as he journeys; and he bears the prom-
tsewliich cause-s him to hope “thou shalt
visit thy habitation and not sin.” 0, the
joyful reunion of a divided family—the
pleasure of renewed interview and conversa-
tion after days of abscence.
Behold the mart of science. He drops
the labor of research, closes his volume,
sriiothcs his wrinkled brow, leaves his study‘

Yonder comes the laborer. He has

leads. The companion of his humble life is
ready to furnish him with his plain repast.

Happiness ofPigs.—‘Pigs are happy peo-
ple. We may talk disparagingly about liv-
ing like a pig. To live like a pig is to live
like a gentlt-titan. Although it is not per-
mitted by the order of nature that pigs should
‘laugh, or even smile, he enjoys the next best
blessing“ of humanity, the disposition to grow
fat. I-low easily he goes through the world!
He has no fancy stocks to buv—no bank
notes to pay—no indignation meetings to
attend-—no log cabin assemblies to hold--no
Chepachet wars to wage. He has no occa-
sion to take the benefit ofthe Bankrupt Act.
or to have his estate confiscated to defray the
expenses ofthe settlement. Free from all

earthly affairs, as was the citizen who was

being told day was breaking, ‘well,’ said he
as he turned to his rt pose, ‘let Day bi'eak, be
otvs me nothing.’
When we look at the comparative condi-
tion ofthe human race and of the swinish
multitude, we may come to the conclusion
that ifa man will not be a man he had better
be a pig.
A Dutchman, in proceeding to a place
from whence he heard the cries of distress,
discovered one of his neighbors lying under
a stone wall which had fallen on him. and
fractured his legs. ‘Well, den,’ said Honie
‘neighbor Vanderdiken, vat ish do matter

conditions vid all dish pig stones upon me,
and poth mine legs proke offclose by mine

you was got de tooth ache.’ "
An interesting Scene.—The \Vasbingto-
nians had a mass convention at Medina Ohio,
last week. During its progress, Judge
Smith, who had, about a year previoiis, been
divorced from his wife, for his intemperate
habits and brutal neglect and abuse of his
family, made a speech, at the close of which
lie was re-united to his wi_/e—the minister
exclaiming. 'VVhat God hath re-joined, let
' neither manner alcohol sever!’
among us, most of them destined to lives of
idleness, from their natural inaptitude to the
legal profession. It is not every one who
hasa ready flow of words or a quick wit
that is calculated to excel as a lawyer. The
large proportion of those who are educated
for the bar are ‘mentally disqualified for its
duties. Unable to scale the loftier paths of
the profession, they are compelled to resort
to every kind of trickery and chicane to ob-
tain support, and at last sink broken hearted
not so much from their want of industry and
efiort, as from their natural incapacity. We
are astonished to witness the great number
of young men who are rushing into’ the
crowded ranks ofthe bar, while there are so
many honorable ptirsuits open where fortune
may be acquired, a reputation gained, or a
distinguished position in society attained.-—
'I‘o us, and the world in general, nothing is
less enviable than the character of a captions
and law-peddling attorney, withotit any noble
aspirations, with neither eloquence to glaze
over his supcrficiality, or mind to dignify
his meagre attainments.-—P/iilad. Forum.
Sing-ular efiect of Mortification.-\’Ve
nnderstnnd (says the Boston Daily Mail,)
that Dr. Whitney of Newton, Upper Falls,
was called upon a short time since, together
with a student in his office, to make a post-
mortem examination of a woman who had
died in ii neighboring town. Mortification
had set in before the subject died, and in the
exaniination, the iiiortified parts, it is suppos-
ed. came incontact with a small scratch on
the hands of both the operators. Both Dr.
W., and his student were soon taken sick,
under circumstances which left no doubtthat
they had imbibed poison from the dead body
during the post rriottem examination. The
student died in a fetv days, but Dr. W. al-
thoiigb fears were entertained at onetime for
his life also, has become convalescent.
The English papers announce that Boz is
engaged in writing a book upon the Ameri-
cans to be published this fall. In the Pick-
wick papers, by the same writer, a plot is
formed by the ingenious Mr. Weller senior,
for getting Mr. Pickwick out of prison, and
smuggling him off to America, until he
could reitirn in safety. - In urging the plan
to his son Stnnivel, the old ’un makes the
following very sage remarks:
“The ’Merikens vill never give him up,
Sammy, ven vunce they finds he's got money
to spend, and ven he returns he can write a
book about the ’Merikens as i’ll pay his ex-
penses, and more too, lie only blows ’em up
enoug .”
'Tis a chance if Boz does not act on this
advice.—Bufi’alo Commercial;
