To the 04l3or of Tat: Posy, Dual Sm, -As one of your fair readers has requested me to give some account of this island as Canada's Quarantine Sta. tion, and to gratify what Horace calls the !"Cacoetbes soribendi," I proceed to my favorite task. I was led to accept the position of Government Chaplain at this station -partly from a desire to rest and recruit after years of arduous labor in an extensive missionary charge in the Dio- cese of Huron. In some respects I would vastly prefer the hard work of a rural miseion to this monotonous life of Chap- lain -where I have too little to do and not much pay for doing it. But to my story. Groese Isle is thirty miles East from Quebec, on the famous St. Lawr- enoe river, along whose banks aro many Frouoh towns and villages, with scarcely any English-speaking families. The island is about two miles in length, and nothing could be better adapted for quar- antine purposes uar-antinepurposes than its location-situ- •".tedmidway between the Northern and Southern ohannels of the St. Lawrence, where the river is from IO to 15 miles 'wide. It is about sixty years, I learned; since this island was selected as Canada's quarantine station. The Government has erected various buildings, from time to time, to meetthe public necessity, for preventing the spread of contagious die. ease by incoming vessels of immigrants from all parts of Europe. Besides the three commodious dwellings oocupied by the medical superintendent and his two assistants, at different points on the is- land, there are, at the Eastern end, an hospital, with all the necessary apparatus for relieving and healing disease, besides a tier of tenements, occupied by the offi- cials near by, suoh as the steward, his assistants, 000k, nurse, laundress, &c, On the Western end of the island, far removed from the patients in the hospi- tal, we have a building for disinfecting proposes, containing ample provision for shower baths, and also the latest im- provements for disinfecting the clothing and trunks of immigrants. Such is the complete arrangement made for cleansing and disinfecting, that you would not know the immigrants after they are here for a short time, and, when thoroughly cured, they are sent on their way "oloth- ed and in their right mind." Then, in addition to this, there are (1,) a: labor- atory, where all the modern apparatus and appliances are to be found for de- tecting microbes, which enter more or less into all types of disease, whether cholera, typhoid fever, measles, small=pox, or any other infections ailment, The process of examining those miorobes, or bacteria, which cause suoh deadly havoc in the human system, is something wonderful, and the microscope used horn for that purpose is capable of magnifying the in - soots 1800 times. Then (2,) We have three separate buildings -one for saloon passengers, where every facility is afford- ed for health and comfort, suoli as they would have on first-class oceeo steamers another for intermediate passengers; and a third for steerage passengers. The pains and expense to whiate Government has gone in guarding against the entrance of infectious disease into. Canada, as well as for the comfort' and our of invalids, is something wonderful, yet no ono who knows the bishoryof the past oan grudge or queetiou the propriety of this large expenditure for sanitary purposes.' Some years ago, when immigration wasgreater than 13 is now, and when cholera and • other types of disease were more preval- ent, therewere not only hundreds, but tbousande, of fatal oases on this island, including, (sad to relate) several physi- mans who had risked them lives to minis• ter to the sick and dying and whose graves are marked in the cemetery by a monument or memorial column erected, giving the dates, names, &c., of the medi- cal Hien whose lives were eaorifloed for the public good. There were thousands of immigrants who fell victims at that time to cholera and whose bodies had to be thrown hurriedly into trenches with. out Christian burial. 1 may state that for years past theta have been no serious eases of fatal disease, but no one knows the moment when the hydra-headed cholera or typhus fever froin foreign countries may invade our land. So "to I1 be forewarned ie to be forearmed?' V BRUSSELS, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, JULY Every incoming meet from aurees the oeoau has be be boarded by one of the physicians in the Govglean),neub glea• boat, the "Ohallenger," which 10 a' model of neatness and beauty, During the past week no leve than frolu 10 to 12 vessels have been boarded in the spaoe of. 24 ham's, Sometimes immigrant families suffering from measles or typhoid fever are brought in and oared for at Bee hospi- tal by the anthoritjes and Anally when cured, sent forward to their destination. We had a few snob cases lately, The system of telegraphy here is oomplste, by which constant commenieation is kept np between the island and Quebec and also with outlying signal stations down the St. Lawrence, which report the ar- rival of ocean vessels in blip o&iug, so that n0 ship oan pass up the river without medical inspection. There is also a tele- phone system in operation, by which the medical men correspond with each other or with any of the officiate, as to the wants of the institution, 13pt 1 mush close for the present.

In reports of this kind it is oustomary to gay something about the weather so to be in fashion we state that the king of light shone resplendent; the gentle breezes kissed the fair faces of the maid. ens ; andallNature smiled beamingly on the large gathering and the only harm done by all this wasthe sunburn on the neck and nose of the onlooker whose umbrella was at home. The townspeople had done considerable decorating which gave quite a holiday effect to the place, and the various Com. mittees were: bard at work getting every- thing ready for the day. Brussels Brass Band was early on the scene and were not at all parsimonious with the melody and harmony evolved from the combination of instruments. More than one compliment was paid them for their excellent music and Yankee good clothes. First on the program was a contest between 'members of various Gnn olubs with olay pigeons. Eaolx competitor had ten birds to shoot at, thrown from three traps manipulated by Messrs. Hooper and Brewer. Shooting was very good and resulted in three prizes coming to Brus- sels.

Sinclair 4th, A. number of sweepstakes matches were also shot in, which Brusselites figur- ed prominently as winners. A stubbornly contested game of foot- ball was played between the Clifford team and the stalwart "Ironsides," of Turn - berry, in which the latter won by 2 to 0. The result was never in doubt from the commencement as the eleven from the Northern village were clearly avermatch- ecl. The two teams were constituted as follows: CL5PPORB.
