BRAVE RESCUE AT SEA. Crew of the Slaking Schooner Ellte Saved Front !tenth—Exhausted With Exposure and starvation. The Bristol City line steamer Ex- eter City, which arrived at New York on Tuesday morning from Bristol and Swaneea, on November 24th, fell in with the British schooner Elite, this - masted and in a sinking condition and rescued tbe crew of five men and brought them safely to port. Ceptain. Watkins reports that last Wednesday he sigb,ted a supposed wrerk. The vessel proved to be esmall schooner evitb signals of distress flying. A lifeboat was laun-hred, in charge of Chief Officer Samuel Bache and four seamen, and, although it heavy sea was running, the lifeboat was quickly along- side, and within the short space of ten minutes had rescued the crew. Captain Hargrave of the wrecked El- ite stated that he sailed from Cadiz for St. John'sNfld., on Nov. lath, with a cargo of salt; Use littie schooner ex- perienced very bad weather shortly af- ter leaving port; the wind blew steadily from the west and gradually increased in fore untilit blew &strong gale, ac- companied by heavy seas, which caus- ed the vessel to labor so heavily that she sprung it leak. The leak ttecessitated, the conetant working of the pumps, and the crew were soma worn out with work and exposure. The supply of pro- visions had almost ran out, and the little crew suffered greatly from lack of food. On November 18th thelaritish stea-ner Rossmore, from Liverpool, for Baeeimore, fell in with the schooner. A heavy story was raging, and it was in - possible to launch it lifeboat, but the Rossmore succeeded in throwing soriane food by means of it line. These lirovis- ions lasted but two days, and alt hands were put on a short 'allowance. Sunday, the 21st, the wind freshened, and blew a strong gale from the'south- west, and a heavy squall struck the vessel, carrying away the spars, with all attached. The leak increased'rapidly, and she soon became waterlogged. The OreW were exhausted from lack of food, exposure 'arid constant pumping, and was unable to clear away the wreckage hanging over the side. For, three days not a sail was to be aeon:, Fortunately, on Wednesday, the 241ea, the steamer Exeter City, front Bristol, for New York, observed the sinking vessel's distress signals. Sbe bore down and rescued the crew 'of five men. (1 There was one death aboard' the Elite during the storm of the 21st. Soon af- ter tin vessel was dismasted a Spanish sailor named .7exan Erraseras, who bad shipped. at Cadiz, died, and was buriei at sea. . STORM AND SHIPWRECK. DISASTROUS GALES ON THE COASTS OF ENGLAND. dimly Vessels and Crews test - The Sear. borough Seawall Washed Away — Many D I ' nets Floaded—sroliSarnroored. The gale which swept the English coasts on Sonday, dieing much damage itt Holyhead and other places, raged all night long anti had not abated, in fury on Monday morning, when it amount- ed almost to a cyclone in many places, and. was aecompaoied by snow and hail. A long list of fatalities, wrecks anct dionage to property has already been received. All the coast towns have suffered and. a score of bodies lia.ve been washed ashore. Falleng walls and. flying debria have added to the loss of life. • Vessels are reported ashore on every part of the coast, and many -ships are known to have foundered, with the Sands, loss of all hands.

The latest reports from various points along the coast !how that the gale whirl' swept English waters, was 2118 of the worst storms of reoent years. In nutny places it was almost cyclonic in its violence, and the long list of disasters inoludes a LARGE LOSS OF LIFE, many wrecks of large vessels, and the loss of scores, if not hundreds, of smaller craft, with s.eritius damage to property asbore, itt many important towns. In thie north the wind was aecomponied by blinding snow and hall that hid the lights and immensely in- creased the difficulties of navigation. Many ships are known to bane found- ered, in, most oases, it is feared, with all on board, Scarcely a ;own on the coast has eseaped without more or less ine jury, falling walls and flying debris adding to the loss of life.

SUMMARY OF A STATElYIENT ABOUT TO BE ISSUED. Large nod of Fall Wheat el Good UatLiiy - Potatoes Injured by the Blight — Fali Ploughing Delayed. Following is a, summery of the No- vember crop report about to be issued by the Ontario. Department or Agri- culture: The yield of fall wheat has been large, and much of it is of first-class quality, bat a portion of the crop is not Op to the standard in either weight or qual- ity, as some of the( grain "sprouted" during the wet harvest mailer. A large area of newt fall wheat has been sown, but owing to the dry condition of the soil much of the seeding WM done later than usual. Spriug wheat was rather poor in, the i west, bat good in the remainder of the: Province, 'al- . though =eh shrunken grain is re- ported in. some quarters. Rye and buckwheat are evidently being restor- ed to favor, and both were splendid crepe this year. Peas have been a great disappointment. A few hare good returns, but the yields generally were light, and there are menyi small peas. The "bug" was unusually destructive, It was one of ths worst year for our Parley pea-gni:Were. Reports regarding clover seed are OW the whole unfavor- able, although some report doing well. Tim midge was very active. Young clo- ver, however, looks promising. Corn was a splendid yield, but some got nip- ped by frost. Potatoes were struck by a blight or rot in September, nearly all the older seotions of the Provineo suffering raoro or less. In some places about 50 per ceat. of the crop was lost, Since being taken. up, however, the ROT HAS BEEN STAYED, and farmers are hopeful that there will not be it return of the attack. The beetle was freely at work, and many small potatoes will be tbe result. Tur- nips are fair in yield, but are riot so good in quality. 1Vtangel wurzels have done well, both in yield and quality. The yield of carrots has been good, but this crop dos not seem to be increasing in rumor. All the root crops were well housed. Much of the fall ploughing was de- layed. on account of the drouth rend- ering the soil dry and hard, and also to more time than usual being required to thresh and handle the various crops. Good rains at the beginning of Novem- ber started thousands of ploughs go- ing all over the country. Except in the extreme east and west pastures have been from fair to good most of the season. Live stook are in fine condition, less disease than usual being reported. The movement of cattle and hogs to market has been steadier than in former years, espe- oially in the case of the latter, which are fattened all the year around. The season has been a prosperous one for the dairy. Cheese factories have Leen weU patronized and the butter trade hasshown an improvement. Several correspondents allude to the good ef- fects of the visits of the travelling dairy. Fruit trees are ingood condition. There is not the usual surplus of pears, and apples are scabby and scarce in most pants of the Province. Grapes were abundant, but late clusters were caught by the frost.

Say That the, Food Supply 15 Diving Out and Crowds Are Pouring In, A despatch from Seattle, Wash., says; -Twenty-five men arrived hero on Saturday, on the City of Seattle, direct from Dawson City. They were divided into two parties, the last one of which left Dawson City, Oct. 16. They came out over the Dalton trail. They are reported to bave am.ong thera sixty thousaud dollars in drafts and tor hundred thousand dollars in gold dust. All tell stories of it food short age in Dawson that, is almost a fa mine. Tbe last person to leave Dawson was Jae& Dalton. When Dalton. left the ateanier Alice and Bella had reach- ed there loadea lightly. It is said that the Bella's cargo consisted of whiskey and billiard balls. She brought no provisions. The Canadian Govern- ment mounted police chartered the Bella and gave all who. wished it free passage to the Yukon. The Belta, is reported to havo left. about Oat, 12 with 200 men. Aecording to the state- ments made by merabers of the Dalton party-, there is liable to be trouble of the most serious kind this winter in Dawson. Billy Leak told ono of the men in the party ahead of him whom he met at Dyea that all the people talk about at Dawson is the food fam Inc. Men were gathering in groups and cursing with might and main the new comers who were constantly ar- riving in the Klondike loaded with scarcely any provisions. THE MOUNTED POLICE, were offering free transportation to the grub placers further down. the ,Yukon, to Port Yukon, but to the countless hundreds who had labored hard. all through the summer accumu- lating a, grub stake the prospect was uninviting to say the least. The meg figured that it. would take all their earnings in gold to pay their living expen,ses at Fort Yukon during the winter, and that in the spring they would not even have enough left to pay passage money back to Dawson, to say nothing of purchasing enough food to subsist on until they could get started again. To these poor fellows the offer of the mounte& police was no better than the prospect at Dawson of being compelled to live on half rations until the supply boats could reach the dige gings in the spring. John W. Brauer. the United States mail carrier, who left Dawson on Sept. 27, said: -"There is only one salvation for the miners ivho are now at Dawson City, that is Lor them to undertake the awful win- ter trip froxn Dawson to Fort Yukon, a distance of 400 miles. Thoth is no food at Fort Ylukon, there is none ab Dawson, and. just as sure as the stars shine terrible auffering will be the fate of the Dawson miner unless be leaves there before spring. I will make the statement that when I left Paw - son the men who were there had. on an average forur months' supply. Some did not have a month's supply and some had four or five.
