SOURIS TEA.

Dean Sm;—On Wednesday morning last, at half
$ o'clock, I found myself snugly ensconsed on
eed the Heather Belle, en route for Souris. The
steamer was announced to leave the wharf at sharp
four, and as it drew near that time, crowds of anxious
excursionists—who had over-slept themselves—could
‘be seen struggling along with all possible speed; but
through the kindness of the commanding officers, few,
if any, were left, as those gentlemen kindly allowed the
boat to remain at the wharf for nearly half an hour after
the announced time for leaving. At about half past
four, the moorings were cast loose, and the lively little
Heather Dell was off with her living freight of about
40 anxions excursionists. The morning was dark and
, but about. 9 o'clock, old Sol shone out in all his
» flooding surrounding objects with Po veyomec
lending a charm to everything. We felt
, afler throwing off all cares of business,
‘bent on re, We quite a concert on board, as

lists. The refreshments served up on

allin their holiday garbs, and, as Scott would have it :—

“'T were worth tea years of peaceful life
One glance at Unelr array.”

At the wharf we were met by an, immense crowd, who’
gave us a hearty welcome to their thriving village.
There was also a large number of carriages in atten-
dance to convey us to the Party grounds. The field,
enclosed artistically with trees, contained six acres,
and within this enclosure were erected a large and
spacious eating saloon, handsomely decorated—a re-
freshment saloon, and two large booths, in which the
lads and lasses were eagerly * tripping the light fan-
tastic toe,” to the dulcet gtrains of the violin, Beyond
this enclosure, was another large field, in which the
lovers of athletic games and manly sports were as-
sembled—some throwing the hammer, others tossing
the caber—some leaping, others runuing; whilst many
of the more Juvenile ones were eagerly engaged In con-
testing a “ game of quoits.”

At tho entrance to the party grounds, was a hand-
somely decorated arch, bearing In Jarge characters, the
pleasing motto “ Wreicome!" Inside, was a carriage,
which the enterprising poople of the Head of the Bay
had constructed for the oceasion. The carriage was
large and spacious, and above it proudly waved, side
side, three of Old Britain's time honored flags, wi
numerous smaller devices. There was also a large,
beautifully decorated banner, with the motto, “ Nu.
DESPERANDUM,” In large letters, traced on it, The car-
riage was drawn by, I believe, six spirited horses,
prancing gally to the martial strains of the bag pipes.
The Tea, &c., was held on the grounds of the late Hon.
Donald Beaton—some five or six mivutes’ walk from
Souris village. ‘The Tea tables, at which some 2000
people sat, were handsome, aud reflected the highest
credit on the ladies superintending them. I was struck
very forcibly by the fact, that among such a large con-

five minutes’ walk of the ‘Tea grounds, yet, strange to
Say, not ono ninn could be seen, even half drunk, or the
leasttipsy ; not an angry,boisterous word could be heard;
no black eyes; no broken legs. This fact, in itself,
Speaks volumes for the people of King's County, and it
proves likewise the temperance and good moral deport-
ment of the many strangers Who Visited Souns on that
occasion. About 6 o'clock, the cakes were brought for-
ward and offered for sale, and a splendid sample of
handiwork they were.. The cakes were auctioned by
Mr. Austin McDonald, and, through the exertions and
tact of that gentleman,they sold very well on the whole.
The party was a decided success, clearing, I Welieve,
some £200. After the cakes were all disposed of, the
day, 80 pleasantly spent, was drawing to a close, and it
was thought pradent to conclude the merry-making with

priate—the speakers being Messrs. Austin McDonald,
W. C. Grant, J. Bowers, and D. McDonald.

We remained at Souris that night, and partook of the
kind hospitality of friends there. At half past four,next
morning we left Souris,en route for Charlottetown, which
we reached safe and sound about 3 o'clock Thursday,
well pleased with the excursion, and hoplig that the
time may soon come again when we shall have the op-
portunity and the pleasure of attending another such
Tea at Souris. By giving these hurried written re-
marks a space in your columns, you will oblige

PRINCE OF WALES COLLEGE EXAMINATION.

Se

Tue examination of the Prince of Wales College and
Grammar School therewith connected, took place on
Tuesday morning last, and terminated on the evening
of same day, The attendance of the public was not
great. His Excellency the Licutenant Governor was in
attendance to present the prizes, which consisted of
money. Chief Justice Hodgson and Mr. Rochic assisted
the Professors in the examination of the students. The
boys of the Grammar School and the students of the
College were examined in the class rooms of the College.
We publish elsewhere a list of the successful competi-
tors. Mr. Arbuckle, master of the Grammar School,
and Mr. Roche opened the proceedings by cxamining
the pupils in reading, arithmetic, grammar, &c., after
which Professor Anderson and Mr. Roche examined in
the higher branches of geometry, spherical trigonometry.
&c, The classical department was presided over by
Dr, Inglis, the Principal, The method of teaching is
highly satisfactory. Lessons in arithmetic are intro-
duced by simple examples for the various rules, worked
out at length and fully explained, not forgetting exer.
cises on decimal coinage. In grammar, difficult sen-
tences were analysed, and applications to parsing,
punctuation and composition were given with case and
aceuracy. The Latin prose composition of the classical
students gave the different forms of subject and predi-
cate in English, with the corresponding forms in the
Latin, furnishing cxamples from Ciccro and Cwsar,—
supplying coplous lists of verbs, substantives and ad-
jectives—entering into the formation of the various
kinds of subject and predicate, treating of direct and
indirect narration, the construction of temporal, tllative,
casual, conditional and final particles, &c. Dr. Inglis,
in his teaching of French, makes his students follow
the natural mode in which a child learns to speak its
own language, by repeating the same words and phrases
in a great varicty of forms, until they become familiar
with their use, The students are well versed in History.
Thelr narratives are terse and clear, while the questions
put to them were well framed, and such as to exhavet
the subject. The authors of the text books are, or
were, men of no party,and had no end to serve but that
oftruth. Altogether, the management of the institu,
tion leaves nothing to be desired, and the test to which
the scholars were put, is a proof of the high efficiency of
the Professors and the studious habits of their pupils,
Atthe conclusion of the examination, His Excellency
the Lieutenunt Governor and His Lordship the Chief
Justice addressed the pupils as follaws:

Lievrexanr Governor Dunpas said,My young friends,
Lam sorry that pressing engagements Mave prevented
me from being present for a longer time at the examin-
ation to-day, as I am usually enabled to be once or
twice a year. From the little, however, that I have
seen and from what I gathor elsewhere, I rejoice to think
that not only has there been no falling off, but that there
has been a marked improvement in the progress you
have each and all of you made In the studies in which
you have been engaged. I ee noe you and con-
gratulate your friends on this result. I congratulate, also,
those gentlemen who have labored so assiduously to
promote your education, I am sure that it is un-
necessary for mé to impress upon you the importance of
the work you are here engaged in—work in which so
much of the happiness of your fatare lives depends. I
have, on more than one. occasion, enlarged on this snb-
ject, and endeavored to point out to you how much the
suecess of your several careers hung on the way you
spend your hoors In this institution. I had not then, as
I have now, examples taken from among yourselves to
point to. Such examples I have now, and as it is trnly
sald that ‘‘ Example fs better than precept,” I would in-
dicate, as striking ustrationa of the value of the /ad-
vice I gave, the brilliant success that has been achieved
by at least four young men who, the other day, were

your fellow students, young men wliose names It is un-
neceksary for me to tall, for you know them as well as T
6, These young men do the highest credit to them-
selves and to this institution, In all the colleges to
which they. passed, they have taken the highest places.
They have gained prize after prize, medal after medal,
and ir after honor, and several of them have gained
an which, I am sure, in their most
sanguine hours they could not have hoped for.

Are not those examples worthy of looking upto? May
not all of you gain the same sttecesses ? "WV hat did they

They did not owe It to their social position, ;
or to wealth, or rank, They owed it to their own in- ;
dustry, and to thelr indefatigable desire to excel. And

t, while Tsay that I must speak with some reservation,
hey owed a great deal to the guidance and instruction
of thelr masters and preceptors; and perhaps this is_
not an unsuitable oceasion to refer to an event which I
am sure you and Land the Chief Justice have heard of
with regret. It is ne secret that you are about to lose
the wise counsel and guidance of him who, for many
years, has presided over this institution, and has done
so much to elevate the standard of education here. I
feel that, in his presence, I cannot speak of his merits as
they deserve. 1 have never heard him spoken of but in
terms of the highest commendation, and when he goes
henee from among us, he will carry with him the! good
wishes and the regrets of the entire community, I shiall
not detain you any longer, my young friends, but wish
you the full enjoyment of the holidays upon which you
are now about to enter,

Chief Justice Hodgson remarked—I am only sorry
that the Lieut. Governor has not been present during
the examination of the different classes In English,
Mathematics and Classics, for he would then have enjoy-
ed another of many similar proofs that our education-
al establishments are on a level with kindred institu-
tions in British North America. As I have had the
pleasure of being present, I can bear testimony to him
that great progress has been made by the students in
their different studies during the past term. Our thanks

Richard Heartz, sworu—Shortly after W. B. Dawson
left the Island, I went with deft. to plil’s. house. We
examined the notes alleged to be endorsed by deft. Deft.
looked at the endorsements, and did not deny the genu-
ineness of any of them. On examining two notes, made
by 8. Prowse and Wm, Findley. he said that he did not
remember endorsing them, but hat the signatures re-
sembled his own very closely, Plff's father was pre-
sent, and remarked that he feared that deft. had too
much confidence in his son, and that he signed what-
ever paper was put before him. Deft. replied that
‘‘ such was too much the case.” Mr. Heartz was sub-
jected to a long cross-examination, principally in refer-
ence to his former dealings with Dawson.

Daniel Hodgson, sworn—lIs father of the piff. Was
present at the interview between plff. and deft. deserib-
ed by Mr. Heartz, and corroborates hisegtatements re-
specting it. Deft. examined the endorsements on the
notes in his presence,and doubted the gennineness ot the
signatures on Prowse’s and Findley's notes only. Wit-
ness told deft. that the makera of these notes were rafe
men, which appeared to eatisfy deft.

This evidence closed the case on the part of the Plain-
tif. The Court then adjourned,

On Wednesday, the Court opened, Chief Justice
Hodgson, presiding. His Lordship stated that Judge
Peters was unable to attend on account of severe indis-

ition, and adjourned the Coort fill Friday. His
ordship remarked that as the Supreme Court would
sit at Georgetown on the 2ist inst., and as it would be
a pra to finish this trial before that time, it would,
in his opinion, be necessary for the cause to stand over
till January. The Counsel for the defendant contend-

ed that it would be illegal to adjourn the trial till after
the Georgetown sitting. The plaintiff's Counsel argued

| that as the jury Were impanneled, the statutes authorized

an adjournment,

On Friday, the Chief Justice informed the bar and
jury’ that the continued illness of Judge Peters, prevent-
ed him from proceeding with the tral this term, and
that the Court had decided that it should stand over till
January, then to commence de novo.

W. B. Dawson, who had pleaded guilty to two in-
dictments for forgery, was then brought into Court to
receive sentence, .

Mr. Thompsop, on his bebalf, hoped that thé Court
would deal leniently with him, as he had volantarily sur
rendered himself to the law.

Hie Lordship, addressing the prisoner, said, that he
would have wished that the unpleasant duty forced up-
on him, had devolved upon some other person.
He ge Bae ape to see one whom he had known
from bo ; Who possessed so many advantages, and
who had always borne a good eharacter forsobriety and
energy, pl in sucha position, In England, ry
is a crime, and tho punishment usaally is feaprivea ent
for tify. In thie Island, fortunately for the aceused, it
is onlya misdemeanor. It was liie duty, however,to
such a eentence upon him, as should not only punish Cin,
bat should deter others from comm'ttin vatlar eftedecs’
He st that after he would have eater
purgation te which he would be stibjected, he would re-
turn to society a wiser and better man. His Lordship
then sentenced the prisoner to four years imprisonment,
being two years for each offence. After some unim-
portant busincss was tranpacted; the Court adjourned

RECIPROCITY AGAIN,

Ow the sixth instant, Gen, B. Butler, one of the Re.
presentatives for the State of Maseachusetts, succeeded
in having passed and referred to 2 Committee of both
Houses, tor investigation during the recess, the follow.
ing, to us, nghly important resolutions:

Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of Americain Congress assembled.

That the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized ang
directed to admit into the several Ports of the United
States, free of duty, the aetual- of Prince
Edward Island, including-fish, when accompanied by satis.
factory vouchers of the place of prodgction, under sach
regulations as he may deem necessary, Whenever the Co.
lonial Government of P. E. Island shall provide by law,

First: Free admission of all productions of the United
States to that Island. :

Second: To admit to its bays, porte and harbors, for
shelter, to obtain supplies, and: to refit, free of duty of
impost, all American Fishing vessels,

Third : To give Nedise'to teh in the Waters adjacent

to said Island upon such terms that the license fee shall
not exceed five dollars for any one vessel, or such less
sum as may be demanded by the Canadian Dominion as q
per centage of, or excise-on, licenses granted by the Co-
lonial Governthent, of said Island.
A mere glance at them, will convince our readers
that if reciprocial legislation of the nature embodied
in the resolutions cau be effected between the United
States and this Colony, apart from the Dominion of
Canada, no effortshould he ‘left unttied te accomplish
it by the Government and people of Prince Edward Iy-
land. We learn that the subject has been under the
consideration of the Government; and we.are glad to
find that the Charlottetown Board of Trade, which we
fancied was defunct since the Detruit fiasco, has shaken
off its lethargy, and taken up thig mattor lu 4 vigorous
manner. Marine Insurance Office on Monday Inst, at which
resolution fayormmg reciprocity with the States, wag
unanimously adopted, and a Committeo of five appoint=
ed to correepond with Boards of Trade, and others in,
terested in the matter in the Union, offering such infor-
mation as may tend to bring about free trade. We re-
gret that our space does not permit us to enter into
this subject this week, but we may expreas the opin-
ion, that if the Government and people of the Colony
take up the question, prudently and determivedly, we
will have reciprocity with the United States next sum-
mer. :

Tur Weatner anp tue Crors.—The exhilirating and
grateful showers which have fallen at intervals duringthe
past month of unusually warm weather, are not without
beneficial results on every description of growing crops.
Since we have had the copious showers of Wednesday
night last, a ceclded improvement has set In, and the
general aspect of the cereals Is such as to give strong
hopes of an early and plentiful harvest. The turnip crop
has been greatly improved by the rain, and farmers are
sanguine that it will prove a good average one. Up to
the present, potatoes are doing splendidly, and we may
only hope that its rabid enemy, the ‘“ blight,” will, by the
merciful hand of Providence, be totally averted, and a
bountiful and abundant. harvest ensured for the people,

Samples of carly potatoes were last market day shown
us-the specimons are ofan extraordinary size and weight,
belng on the average 13 oz., In some instances a good deal
more: Accounts from different parts of the Island, and
reliable ones from Summerside, convince us that the ag-
riculturist has no reason to complain this year of the
‘peace, plenty and pleasure.” We regret, however, to
learn that the hay crop is an exception, giving every In-
dication of being light.

We have much pleasure in atnouncing the arrival
here, of Mr, Joseph Jacobs, travelling agent for Messrs.
Tilton & McFarland, proprietors of the Barglar and Fire
Proof Safes, with extra thick walls, which gained such
celebrity at the great Portland fire, a couple ef years
ago, Mr. J. is prepared to take orders for these safes
from our business men, and as we have examined the
highest testimonials of their excellence from personal
friends in the neighbouring province of Nova Scotia,
and elsewhere, we have no hesitation in recommend-
ing this most essential article to the notice of those of
our readers who need them. Every one knows that no
well-conducted business establishment should be with-
out a good safe; the very possession of one produces a
feeling of security which is of itself worth the price of
the article, and as many spurious imitations of the genn-
ine ‘tin protector” are frequently introdaced to the
notice of the public, our readers will find it to their ad-
vantage to consult Mr. Jacobse, who is staying at the
Osborne House for a few days only.

PRESENTATION OF Paizes.—On. Monday evening
last, the victors at the recent shooting matches at Ken-
sington, assembled, with their compatridts, in the Drill
Shed, and were presented withthe prizes which they
won, by the Hon. Col. Gray. When he got througl
with this pleasing task, the Colonel addressed the nen
in an eloquent speech of over an hour's Jength, in
the course of which he gave expression to some whole-
some truth with respect to the,importance of adequately
maintaining 4 small force of well-drilled-and well-armed
men, capable of repelling any such raiding party, as,
from the smallness of the Colony, might be supposed to
be sent against it in time of war. We regret that we
cannot do justice to the Colonel's speech in this week's
paper, but in our next issue we hope to give a detailed
report of it.

On Monday last, the Shooting Match betweer the all-
comers, was held at the shooting-ground, Kensington,
and resulted as follows : '
