GROSSE ISLE.
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

also with outlying signal stations down
the St. Lawrence, which report the ar-
rival of ocean vessels in blip o&iug, so that

DOMINION DAY
AT WROXETER.•
Last Monday the 28th anniversary of
the Confederation of various Provinces
into the grand union designated as the
Dominion of Canada was duly and fitting-
ly celebrated in the tidy village of Wrox-
eter by its inhabitants and the many
visitors hailing from North, South, East
and West..
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. The following is the snore card's

The winners were D.. C, Ross, 1st ; Young,
2nd ; R. Watt, 8rd, and W. M. 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

Next carne two bicycle races 19 miles,
which were very tame for the reason
that the contestants had to ride into the
country and back and very little was seen
of them except at the start and finish.
In the open race there were six entries
and the winners were :-Toner, of Gerrie;
Willis, of Wroxeter, and Woolner, of
Harriston. The local was won by Ber-
nard, of Wroxeter.
After dinner Harriston base ball club
crossed bats with the junior team of
Wroxeter. Only four innings were play-
ed the visitors winning quite handily
having practically won in the iirstiunings
when they scored 6 runs. The following
