She came in here for suppiieB, and left next morning for Club Island. The Harbor Master, with bis usual liberality, presented the Captain with a new hat. The Campana left at noon to-day for CoUingwood. The City of Owen Sound made an attempt to start from CoUingwood on Tuesday but after being two hours in the ice had to put back. We understand she is once more on her way, and will probably arrive here us we go to press, and go on her way north this evening. The Africa is also loaded, and expects to get oil to-night. The Facijic is also expected in this afternoon, on her fiirst trip. â€" 0. S. Tivies. Tobacco. Our Harbor. For some time past the scene along the docks at the river has been a lively one, with the various steamer and sailing vessels getting ready for the season's trade. Of steamers, we have the Campana, Frances Smith, Magnet, 4J'nca, Enterprise, W. T. Rubb, (1. A. There are some indications that tobacco using, in some of its forms at least, IS on the decrease in the United States. An extensive New York wholesale dealer says that cigarette smokinc; is fast dying out. He estim- ates that fourteen million less cigar- ettes were used in the country last year thun in '82. Have the people taken to using their tobacco in some other form, or is there a boom in this form of temperance Tobacco using is not one ot the least evil forms of intemperance â€" though it is certainly Lot the worst form. Millions of dollars are even yet spent unnecess- arily for tobacco in America every year, and the number of men who lose their health, or lose their lives in consequence of this unecessary indulg- euceiSmuch greater than is generally imagined.

Proprietor all fitted out besides a considerable number of sailing vessels. They are nearly all ready for sailing now, and most of them will take their departure in a few days. The season now commencing prom- ises to be a busy one in our harbor, and Owen Sound will be able to boast of a fleet of boats such as is possessed by no other port on the Georgian Bay or Lake Huron. Most prominent amongst them are of course the new steel steamers of the C. P. R. â€" the Algoma, Capt. Moore; the Arthabasca, Capt. Jas. Foote and the Alberta, Capt. Anderson. They are expected to arrive in a few days, and will torm a line from Owen Sound to Port Arthur, calling at no intervening port. Theii- days of sailing will be on Tues- days, Thursdays, and Saturdays, on the arrival of the fast express train from Toronto, and it is expected they will make the trip in much shorter time than has ever been done before. From the enquiries already being made at the office here, it is evident ' they will do a large passenger business. As the C. P. R. steamers will call at none of the entervening ports, the fleet of the Owen Sound Steamship Line will supply that service. The Spartan having been rebuilt at Detroit last season, and magnificently fitted up, will be here in the early part of next week to take her place in the line a«ain. Besides her, there will be the Maotiet, Frances Smith, Africa and City of Owen Sound. The Spartan and Magnet will form the local line to Sault Ste. Marie, and will l^aye every Wednesday and Saturday woiie the other three will take the Lake Superior route, calhng at the North au^ra nnrta. and their days of sailing than they do. Not only is it an intemperate habit in itself, but it certainly tends to other habits of intemperance, especilly to producing a crave for strong dring. How seldom it is that a drunkard is not a tobacco user also Horace Greely was a strong opponent of tobacco using. A memorable saying of his was that he did not believe that every tobacco user was a blackguard, but he never knew a blackguard who did not use tobacco. Horace Greely did not know everything, however.

(From the Guelph Herald, April 16th 1S84.) All who have the care or training of children know how fond they are of pictures and how pleased with stories when adapted to their under- standing and there are no stories that charm them more than the wonderful ones of the Bible. The stories of Joseph, Moses, David, Daniel, and Josiah the Boy King, and the best of all of Jesus and his deciples, properly illustrated with suitable engravings are the delight of childhood. Never before have these stories been told in such a simple connected ahd excellent way as in Charles Foster's Bible Stories now being published by the World Publishiag Co. of Guelph, Ontario. The Book cotains every story from Genesis to Revelations, illustrated by over 130 engravings so arranged that the story comes on a page opposite the picture illustrating it, thus mfUiing it an object teaching work and the many maps are an additional help. No mother with a family of cuildrtn can afford to be without this book to her it is of more value than a whole library of other books it meets and answers the thousand and one questions the children asks her, and teaches them the best knowledge. The following speaks for itself: The publishers are authorized to um tUe names of the following clergymen who cordially recommend the work (o those who denre their families to get a clear |urimary knowledge of the Saored Senj^res Bigb« BeT, Artiknt Swentmad^ Jk D., liQcil Bidiop of Tognrnto.

Farmers and others will kindly take notice of this and try to have their shopping done before seven 80 thai clerks, who have to stand in stored all through the heat of a long Summer day, may have a chance of engaging in some out door exercise and enjoying the fresh air. 190 94 Letter Heads neatly prin- ted and put up in pads at this office. -, •• â- ,-â-  "i ^•'•" ' "' M {â-  â- ' 'ill ' I. 1; • 1 â-  t lil '.J .. im -^â€" *^-' ^•-â- "'
