' To tux Epivon ov tox Heravp,

Dear Sir :— Here I am, alter another’hard day's work,
sitting down by the fireside, smoking my old pipe, and
gazing intoesly ws the burning fagots. Susan is out vie-
ting to a neighbor's house, and the children aro safely
esconsed beneath the blankets, ‘ Being left alone in my
glory, I began thinking about what my political neigh-
bors, Sandy and Tom, were telling me. By the way,
Mr. Editor, Sandy is an out-and-out Jory, and Tom a
dashing, good-heafted Snatchr of the old school. Well,
Sandy been telling me, som» five or six months ago,
that we were going to liave a steamer coming to Souris
onee a fortnight, during tlie season which is now passed,
He said that our Hon, oy pierre from the Fast (the
dwelling-place of wild—I mean wise—men) had obtain-
eda grant of £300 for that purpose. My neighbor
‘Tom says, that Mr, McEachen was satisfied with £150
and that it was his representative (Mr. Hensley a

ve
strained my poor old eyes looking out for the Ep agers

as yet.
Tom says that the Government of which Mr, McEachen
forms a component part, never intendedsthat the naughty
“Snatchers” of the East would receive any such fair
play or justice from them. Tom calls it.the ‘three hun-
dred pound Bart,” and maintains that the said £300 was
bardly granted (not gwen) for the ostensible purpose of
purchasing the *‘ignorant” electors of the First Elec-
toral | istrict of yy? County. For my part, I cannot
believe this, a9 1 think thore was neither intelligence
nor wit enough in Charlottetown to ‘‘cod” our repre-
sentative so, Yet I do not know, as I am no politician,
merely relating what I hear from these two kcowing
neighbors of mine.

Sandy, taking advantage of Tom's absence, (who
went to Souris yesterday evening) came to my house
last night, and told me further, that clear of the £300;
‘grant’! for steam-dommunication, the amount of money}
“granted” us for other purposes has been liberal in the
extreme. Besides’ au enormous grant for the Souris
breakwater, that there was a very liberal “grant” of
£100 to another work of the same nature, commonly
known as ** Knight's breakwater." He told me further,
that there was another ‘‘grant” of £100 fora breakwater
at Campbell's Cove. This I considered to have been
liberal indeed. But, to my amazement, when I told
neighbor Tom this good news, he flew into * towering
passion, and threatened to wreak hi. vengeance on my
safortyoge informant. Ile told, me that the, £100

‘tgranted™ Wis withhelt from Knight's Siesiveier, on
adount of some una®cduntable whim of the Superin-
tendent (!) of Public Works! This seems very strange
to me, as I am informed, and I think correctly, too, by
the general public, that Mr. Knight's breakwater is, and
will be, of far greater benefit to the people of the east-
ern part of the country, than the breakwater at the. har-
bor. ‘The vessel bound for the Egst Point with material
for the Light House, had to seek shelter inside the said
despised breakwater, where she found sate anchorage
and a place of refuge from the howling storm; and had
it not for this same breakwater, a vessel belonging
to the Leader of the Government would have met by far
a worse fate than she did, and the lives of the crew
would have been endangered. Notwithstanding all this,
Iam led to belivve that the Superintendent of Public
Works would not, on & recent occasion, even condescend
to step out of lus carriage and look at it. Does he re-
ceive public money? In all probability, the £100 grant
to Campbell's Gove will be withheld, too.
But, fir. Editor, I must conclude, as the fagots

all consumed, and the pine torch, which is throwing li

I- trust, Mr. Editor, that you will{come to the rescue,

to Mount Stewart Bridge, whilst the men were pre-
aring the mooring lines, one of the deck hands,

-, Our readers seo to-day what Lord Carnarvon says
of the Delegates and of the state of Confederation.
it will amuse them to compare with that the state-
‘ments they make through their organs.

Says Lord Carnarvon on Octeber 11th :—~

Says the Journal—

“ Our.Eoglish letters by last mail express4he tis
gratification of the friends of confederation & re
satisfactory and earnest utterances of the members -
of the Government at the Liverpool aud London

they would not make such statements whon they

The Lamariade case, which our Canadian Orgates:
affected to regard as 0 trivial, is now makiug much
noise in Eugland and much trouble in Canada, The
Imperial Government have sent out for all papers
connected with it, and Lord Monck, it is likely, will
be rebuked as his unbounded confidence iu the mem.
bers of his Government deserves,

Francis McPhelim, Esq., Sheriff of Kent County,
N. B., died recently at Richibucto. The breath was:
hardly out of this gqutleman, whou Livingston, of the
St. John Zelegraph—who would like'to be a sort of
Bismarck if he could—lectures the Government as’
to who should be appointed to fill the office. This
individual appears not only to be bereft: of the cha.
ractor of a gentleman but is lost to, all the finer. in.
stincts of humanity ; and if nothing.else; asense of
delicacy and respect for the feelings ‘of the friends of
the departed, might have iuduced him to withhold
what appears to us very uncalled for remarks, Tho
Globe says :—

‘‘Mr. MePhelim represented Kent for a number of
years in the slative Assembly, was associated at
one time with Messrs Gray and Wilmot, in the Execu.
tive, and was tho first Postmaster-General of the Pro-
vince, who held a seat in Council. He was a man of
considerable natural ability, a fluent talker, and a cléver
debater, In opposition he was fair and honorable, and
had a keen contempt for the ‘' tricks" of politicians,
A man of a generous disposition and warm heart,
who could be wise and witty by turns, and both to-
gether, he was naturally very much, liked by both sides
ot the House, and his former associates in every A awa
of the Province will hear of his death with sad feelings
of regrot.”

Leatuen Trape wita Canapa.—Oue pf the
rongest arguments used by the oa edabrae
against a Confederation of Prince Edward Island
with Canada is that we have nething in. the shape
of manufactured articles that we can send from hero
that will pay. The following extract from a letter
received by our much esteemed fellow towosmasn,
W. B. Dawson, Esq., proyes that at least in one
branch of our manufactures, we can compete favor-
ably with the Canadians :—

** Montreal, 10th October, 1866.

‘Dear Sm,—I enclose you account sales of Leather
consigned by Mr. W. B. Dawson; sales have been
made for i hope the Ft obtained ma
further busmess. The Wax and Grained
Leather was fi gont quality, and will always command
the highest market price.

. The leather exported by Mr. Dawson not only
commanded the highest price,.but was pronounced
® superior article. It was shipped as an experi-
ment, and, from what we can. learo,..has proved
successful, Mr. Daivson’s exteusive steam teetory
is now in full operation, preparing {urther supply
for export before the navigation closes, and this in
icon pg of a tariff of, we believe, 20 or 25 per cont.

Burtpixos 1x Tue Burxt Distaicr.—The lower
part of the City, devastated by fire in July last, now
presents a more cheerful aspect than we expected it
would assume in so short a space of time. The
buildings erected and in progress are quite numer-
ous. We are indebted to the Patriot ef Saturday
last for the following interesting particulars of these
evidences of private enterprise :—

On Rote evening last, the mason-work being
aompienes, ossrs. W. R. Watson and Alexander
MeKenzie, as a mark of approval of their conduct,

entertained their workmen and laborers—about thirty
in number—in their new four storey brick building on
Queen Street. nents of a substantial Gina
were provided in abundance. The party was a most.
pleasant and social one. Before b ig up, they
we three hearty cheers and one more for their em- —
ployers, who reciprocated the complingent by
three for Mr. Heartz and his men. Both
pressed themselves highly pleased with the other, an
concluded the festivities of the evening by singing that
loyal old tune, ** God Save the Queen.” , . .. . ..
Victoria Building—for such it was named—is ©

and reflocts great credit enterprising owners,
Messrs. Watson and MoKenzie. We th that ere
