He planted a colony at Ferryland, forty miles north of ape llace. and built it splendid house ill which ho resided sev eral years. The whole southern peninsu lar of the island was granted to him by royal charter. This immense tract of which he had obtained the lordship, he named Avalon, alter the ancient name of Iiie Biitis-n go\ i. i.a ut to iniluee ill an tn enael. law-- in lavin' -a this Hamm', 'llisli policy. iimr espre;,,||y as il accorded -.vitli their own views in mak ing the 1 fisheries a nursery of seamen for the roy.d navy \eeonUngly it heeume the fixed policy of Britain to prevent far ther settlement of Newfoundland. For tins purpose i: was ordered that the own er' of e-srls should not carry in their ship- any other persons tlian those actually employed in the fishery; and the masters of siieli vi sets were required to give bond of a hundi i d pounds t bring back such persons as they ink out. w hen the fishing season was ox er. Settlement within six mill s of the shot-" was forbidden. The ereetion of a house or the enclosure of ground, except for li-ln ry purposes, was made a penal offence. The existence of a resident population \x a- entirely ignored no governor was appointed, no laws for the protection ol lit*- or property were en acted the eomitvy w as to lie reserved as a place for drying ii-li in -'.matter, and was to lie abandoned in winter as a dreary wilderness. If any erections, other than temporary lints for fish* iam 11 were discov ered, they wa re ordered tn be burned or lorn down. But. strange to sav, in the teeth ol the-e unjust ami tv ran meal laws l tlie resident, population continued to iu oivase slowly, parity by natural increase, and partly by -eith i -from other countries making the island their home in spite, of Ball legal prohibitions. To no other colony nt Britain w as such hard measures dealt out. To unhappy Newfoundland. Eng land proved a harsh -tepmother. The people were too few and too poor to exer cise ‘'the sacred right of rebellion,” and so their wrongs remained unredressed. It is only sixty years since this stupid, sui cidal policy ended, and the restrictions on the ereetion of houses and the enclosure of land wile removed. Only forty-five years have elapsed since the first roads were laid down around the cpital. Talk about the wrongs of Ireland or the tyran ny that drove the New England States in to revolt: what w. re these compared with the wrongs indicted on Newfoundland! T'his wretched policy on the part of the mother countrv sufficiently accounts for the fact that with all the immense natural l eeourees, the country i- merely a fishing station, the interior unexplored, the fertile plains of the west without a settler, its mineral treasures almost untouched, and the people, as a whole, very poor, and de pendent on the precarious fisheries. The evil consequences of these unjust and op pressive laws are felt in many ways at. the present day. NEW FOFNIU.ANIV IN 1870. uuder all these disadvantages the colony slumld liav. made some progress, argues well lor the energies of the people. Indeed, si nee the repeal of the obnoxious laws, the advice of the people in material prosperity has been most satisfactory.— Gradually old abuses have been swept away: a governor, courts of justice, mag istrates. ami a legislature were conceded, after many struggles. The old obstruc tion- Hue', afti r a long-drawn battle, got rid of; the people learned to know and claim their rights. ‘•The mills or'the grinds sJon-Ir, lhit they griutl exceeding email.” The handful of-elfish monopolists, who so long held iti their grasps an island larger than Its land, and used it as a roek on which fishermen might spread their nets and drv their fish, while it-minerals, timber and fine lands were untouched, have been utterly suppressed. The right of self gov eminent has been conceded to the peo ple, and from that great results will now. Tlie inhabitants are awaking to the fact that splendid natural resources are all around them, vv hieli if duly turned to ac count. will secure prosperity and progress. Kilucation, though yet in a very backward state, i- attracting attention, and is promo ted by a liberal grant from the funds of the colony, lbiads are extended; a local -team service connects the out ports with the capital. mail -i. amcr plies fortnightly between St. Johns and Halifax in stumper, and monthly during the first three months oftlic year. The revenue last, year was sitfo.ooo; the value of the exports $ti,bU6, 71111; of imports, sG.-ol. to:.', showing a balance in favor of the colony of i*84;},647. Milling in the uortlien-t proceeds most en couragingly.

Here i- an opening for tile in vestment of American capital that Lean confiileutlv recommend tar more promis ing than the gold field- ot Nova Scotia, where the returns are rather scanty.— Numbers of person- have taken out min ing licenses tor localities where indications are most promising; but, from want of means, are unable to turn them to account. We want men vv ith capital to initiate op erations, and to open our mines. ht. Johns, the capital, is far from being u handsome town, but when it is taken into account that it has been three times burnt down during the la.-t fifty years, and has risen each time from its ashes improved and beautified, it will be eonifcs ,ed that it is a remaitable town.—QjrrcspcxUncQ S<m lurL i'ouk.

Two New York coroners quararreled over the body of Alderman Scanncll, one claiming the right to hold the inquest because he was first on the ground, and the other because of political affiliation with the deceased.

A friend says that if “time is money" lie is willing to exchange a little of his for ready cash. _ Water is being conducted, through Devine agency, into the (Jrnnitc Hank building. It is brought from the springs on the hill. A piece of meat that had been w rapped in a copy of the Standard was given to a dog. It was tile dog that died." The boxes formerly used in the post office in this city have been taken to Ilallowell, lor use in the new office there. We understand that there is one gentleman in this city who is in favor of a third party, lie will probably organize himself and call a convention. Mr. Ilammatt. the special post office agent for New England, pronounces the new post office in this city one of the best in New Eng land. (iovormnent hear" none of the expenses of fitting up the post office. 1 he entire work is done by (iranite Hank, (ioverninent simply taking possession and paying rent for the office. Mr. A. W. Scott of this city, will address the citizens of Vassalhoro" on Sunday alter 1,0011 next at three o'clock, in the Methodist church at Oetcliell's corner. Subject, •■Ntreot Scenes and Prison Life." Mr. Scott is ail effective speaker. A generous, noble-hearted citizen of Augus ta. a man high in ofli stone piers are already ready for the structure, and work is being pushed on the other. Cars will he running over the new bridge by the first of September. We are glad to have another instance to re cord of the husbanding of time and the profit able use of spare hours. Mr. P. H. Olys, employed in the railroad machine shop, now lives in a house which he has constructed this season without any outside help, digging the cellar, framing the building, and in fact ac complishing the entire work himself during his leisure hours. The house is situated on (Jreen street, and we advise our young, house less, married men to go and look at it and then imitate the builder's worthy example. Several of our citizens have received cir cular lettcis from New York from a gentle man who proposes to furnish them a large quantity of “Treasury notes i yueer,") per fect imitation of the original, which they ean pass without detection. l'he letter displays the outside machinery of one of those many confidence games that are gotten tip in that sink of iniquity and headquarters of demo cratic morality. If any Maine man gets caught on that counterfeit dodge it will not be because the object of the business is not fully revealed in the circular. Our correspondent at Canaan, under date of 14th, w rites "We have had one of the most powerful hail storms here this altcrnoon ever known in these parts. It commenced about two o'clock and lasted some twenty minutes, and the damage to crops must he great. 1 think it sate to say that there is more than 4000 lights ol glass broken in town. In my building (tile post office) there were broken 65 lights. At this writing, 1 o'clmik, the stores are having great calls lor glass, but the supply is short, and some will have to wait until more can he ordered.” Slone Murray's superb Circus will ex hibit in this city on Monday, the 25th ut Ju ly. Those w ho attended the recent perform ances of this company at Hallowidl. will need no invitation to attend on the occasion of their •performance here. The crowd drawn togeth er under the canvas at llullowell, was large and respectable ill character, and all went away enthusiastic in praises of the entertainment and fully satisfied in every respect. The cir cus hus created a genuine sensation wherever the pavilion has been erected, and lias there fore attained a popularity alike significant of the superior qualifications of the managers and the unequaled splendor of the entertain ments they give their patrons. The date of the performances here should he remembered —July 25th, day and evening. We notice that many of the youngsters are in the habit of taking frequent baths in the river. The following may he of use 1. Never go into the water less than two hours after eating—it is better to make it three. 2. Never go into the water when feeling much exhausted. It will do no harm to go in when you are warm and perspiring, if you are nut tired. 3. Never go into the water when you feel cold and chilly. 4. Never stay in long enough to make you feel chilly. 5. Swim and exercise vigorously while in the water. 6. Wipe dry before dressing. If the suu shines, expose the body to its rays a short time before dressing. 7. As a rule, do not go in more than once a day. There is now at the National Military Asylum at Togus, a veritable living -kcloton, a man, or the shadow of a man, from whose j frame all the flesh has wasted away y disease j and neglect, until now he is little more than 1 a ghost of his former self. The n t: of this skeleton is Henry Clark of Middle1 ro\ Yt. He was a member of the 7th Vcrm.iiit Regi i mer.t and served his country in the ai. Af ter h aving the service, he found I 'msclf in [►overly, di pendent upon public cha.iiy: and at last found a home, hut. as the rest.a proved, a desperately poor one, in the aim house in i Middleton.

The third »nd last conference on the Indian Appropria tion bill was cnncusj'ed in. The doors were i (-pern '1 at tit' jia-t two. and the President's message was received and read, after which the hill to neon rage the building of ships for 'foreign tr.»d.f ami for other purposes was take n up. J lie hill was opposed by Messrs. Morrill of \t.. Morrill of Me.. WiDon and Cameron, i the general opinion of the Senators being I that we had already unused ships sufficient I for all the clem ml.- of the mail and carrying' trade in the ev.nt ot a foreign war. and hav j ng be* n amended by limiting it to 4 months j time in which American registers may be issued to fort ign vessels, it was informally laid over. Mr. Wilson and (‘as«er!y in conjunction with the House, intormed the President that the House was ready to adjourn, and subse quently reported that tie* President hud no further communication to make.

The rules were not MUpi nded. Mr. fox of N. V.. sought the floor to otter a resolution in relation to free ships. Mr. Logan of 111., moved to suspend the rub s and pass the Senate joint resolution for fie relief ot certain contractors for the eon-' -truetion of vessels ol w.ir, and of -team ma chinery. which was rejected ,,s to M. Pending the vote the President’s message was received, and at minutes before two o’clock a messenger from the Senate arrived almost breathless, and amid the laughter of tin House managed to gasp out that tin S*-n :t had concurred in a re.-ulution postponing the adjournnu nt until o’clock. The President’s message was referred to the Com. on Ways and Means with instructions to consider it forthwith and report it at as early a moment as practicable, and the re-dutiuii i tor free ships offered by Messrs.

The complaint was the Kulnev.**” and “‘Bladder.” I ha\e been .**ometimes from twelve to fourteen hours, and wanted to make water every minute but could not. Have consult ed doctors* both in Massachusetts and this State, and taken pills, 1 may say. by the quart, also liq uored medicines, but found no relit*! from any, and got worse the last six months. I was so that if could scarcely get about. 1 could not rest night or day. It would soon have been “all uu” with me if I had not seen your advertisement in “The Berkshire Courier” headed -Kulnevs.” 1 read it through ami thought 1 would try it. I purchased a bottle, but mind you. had not much faith in it. Why should I. w hen I had been trvmg so many things and cost me so much Well, I began taking it. and before 1 had taken the first bottle 1 felt bad; but 1 finished it and got another. By the time 1 took half of the second 1 still got worse’(apparently). When I walked it seemed as if my right kidney was falling from its place, and I felt really bad. I felt so, before I had 1 finished the second, that 1 had made up my mind it was of no use trying any' more—and all this time the “Buehu” w«% doing its work, but I did not know it; so I gave it up and went to Hartford on >.iturdav to see one of the bc-*t doctors in the cite. He said It was the neck of the bladder, and 1 should have to undergo au operation. He gave me med icine, and I went home tp'ite downhearted. On Sunday I w as unable to go to church. 1 had not taken any ofhis medicine, blit on my return contin ued using the “Buehu,” ami In the afternoon I had a desire to make water, but could not About one hour afba this 1 tried again, with the -nine result; but the next time 1 took the ve.-sel it was the same as turning a faucet and stopping it «»tf again. It w as so for three times,aud the llurd time there w as something came through the passage and struck against the side of the vessel. 1 examined it, and it is the ugliest stone or gravel you ever saw cov ered over with little poire.- which eollcted together. It look-the color of a mud turtle, and is as hard as a flint. you see the Buehu” w as doing its work although I was feeling so l a Uy I procured an other bottle thinking their might bo some more be hind, but since that has passed, which is eight works ago last Sunday. I have been as well as ever I was in my life. 1 ha\elite stone securely wrapped and those who have^cen it in this place are sur prised. I cannot tell you all, hut this i> a true story of mv ease, and you are welcome b» make such use of my name as you think proper. I am pretty w ell known in Berkshire; also in Connecticut. The ad vertisement saved me. Why not publish more? The Springfield Republican is a w ide spread paper.

You are aware, a-wa ll as myself, that it ha- been extcii-ively employed in the various diseases «*1' the bladder and kidneys, and the reputation it has ac quired, in my judgment, is warranted by tin* facts. 1 have se* ii and used, as before stated, everx form of Ihe hu -the powdered leaves, tincture, Uiiid ex tracts—and I am not congnizant of anv pr'eparation of that plant at all equal to voui>. Thvclvc years’ experience ought. 1 think, to give me the right to judge of its merits; and, without prejudice, or par tiality 1 give yours precedence over all others. 1 value your itucliu for its effect* on patients. I have cun d w ith it. and seen cured with it, more disease* of the Madder and kidney* than 1 have ever seen cured with any other Hucnii or any other proprietary compound of whatever name.

Druggist—Dkaii sirt: I have been a sufferer for upwards of twenty years with gravel, bladder and kidney affections, during w hich iiine 1 have used various*medicinal preparations, and been under the treatment •»i' the m*»>t eminent phy~i ■i.iii.-. experiencing but little relief. Jhniug seen your preparations extensively ad vertised. I consulted imv family physiean in regard to uning your Kqtract Bueiiu. 1 did tbi' beeause I had Used all kinds of adver tised remedies and had found them worthless, and some quite injurious; in tact, I de-paired of ever getting well, and determined to ime no remedies hereafter unless 1 knew of the ingredients. It was this that prompted me t«> use your reinedv. you advertised that it hii- compost'd of Inichu. eubebs and juniper berries, ir oeeurred to me and my j'hvs ieian as an excellent combination and with his ad vice, alter an examination of the article and con sulting again with the druggist.

I- rom the lirst bottle 1 was astoiii-hed at the ben di-mi effect, and alter using it three weeks was able to walk out. 1 felt much like writing to you a lull statement of my :at the time, but thought my improvement might only be temporary, and therefore concluded to defer, and see it it would effect a perfect cure, knowing that it would be ot greater value to you and more satisfactory to me. 1 am now able to report that u cure is effected, after using the remedy for live months. I have not used any now for three montl and leel as well in all respect.- as 1 ever did. Your Buehu being devoid of any unpleasai t taste and odor, a nice tonic and in vigor’atm* of the s\ stem.
