Franklin's Expedition.
The New York Herald has some interest-
ing information concerning the Expedition
âot Captain Lall which started to find traces
of Sir John Franklin and his party, Some
important discoveries have been made, and
âour readers will peruse'the extracts given
below with interest. The information is
furnished by Dr. Goold, of Dublin, who
hhas been during tlieâpast two years in the
Polar regions :â
âDr. Goold artived at New London,
Conn,,a few days since, on board a whaling
ship, from Cumberland Inlet, and states
that in August, 1867, he spent some time
with Mr. fiat who was then at Repulse
Bay, Mr, Mall has traced the fate directly
of two of the lust survivors ot Sir John
Franklin's party, and has obtained value-
able information regarding the relics and
some records reported by the natives to
have been leit by the lost expedition in
King Williamâs wand, Captain Malllearned
from some of the Esquimaux, in 1866,
4hat abeut two years prior to that time,
Captain Crozier and one of the Kranklin
âcrew dicd in the neighborhood of South-
wunpton Island, while endeavoring to make
their way to that place, in the beliet that
they would be there able to mect a whaler
âto conyey them back to England, or, in
fact anywhere, to escape from their Artic
prison,
Captain Mall ts confident of the identity
ol Captain Crozier with one of the men as
described to haye perishea, as the natives
uot only gave Captain Crozicrâs name, but
were in possession of certain articles that
belonged to him und his companion. Mr.
Hall obtained from these Esquimaux Capt.
Crozierâs watch, a gold chronometer, made
by Arnold and Dent of London, besides
some small articles of silver and trinkets
belonging to their outlit, âThese relics
Mr, Hall now holds, and they haye been
seen and handled by Dr. Goold. Captatn
Crozierâs companion, who died with him,
is believed to have been astewart of either
the Frebus or Zervor, as the natives say he
Was a server of food, but could not recol-
lect his name.
âThe natives also states that they have
among them, near Southampton Island, a
piece of gold bullion which belonged to
apt. Crozier, and is believrd to have
formed part of one ot his equatettes. âThey
also stated that a number ot others had
wtarted with Captain Crozier trom a place
Very far north to reach Southampton Inlet,
âbut had perished one by one on the way.
They had been passed trom one band of
Enewits to the other, and when Captain
Crozier had passed through two wibes the
natives say all further traces were lost;
but Capt. Mall himself traced the remaind-
er there. Capt. ILall also says: âLhe opin-
fon most entertained is, that the natives
killed them.â âThey say themselyes there
was no diflicuity in Capt Crozier getting
through, bocause he was accounted among
the natives a first-rate hunter for that
âcountry, and could at all times keep him:
self in food.

No notice can be taken of annonymous com>
munications. We must know the names any
addresses of our correspondents as a guarantd
of their good taith. We cannot undertake to
return communications that are not used
THE UNITED STATES,
Tue approaching Presidential Election
in the United States is engaging the ac-
tive attention of that energetic people, in
every State of the Union. Vermont and
Maine have already foreshadowed their
decision in their recent State elections of
Governors and State legislators, in each
of which the Republicans have had large
majorities. âThe general opinion is that
Grant and Colfax will be returned, but a
large majority in their favor is not antici-
pated by their more judicious friends,
Doubtless the present contest, to a great
extent,is one between those who haye won
and those who have lost in the late civil
war. âhe Republicans are desirous of
completing the work of reconstruction,
to which they haye placed their hands,
claiming that none understand how to
set the national house in order, or know
how to cement the disorganized materials
so effectually. âThe Democrats, on the
other hand, are equally zealous in their
opposition, but in effecting their object
are likely to lose more than they will
gain by some of their auxillaries. As in
France a few years ago, it was found that
the prestige of a name carried with it a
great influence, so is it with the Republi-
cans of the United States, whe find in
the name of Grant good material for a
popular canvas, while the excellent pri-
vate and public character of Mr. Colfax
is favorable also to the same issue.
In the South the expectations of the
colored people have not been realized.
They say that the Republicans made pro-
mises to them which have not been ful-
filled, and doubtless at the forthcoming
election many of them, from an intuitive
sense, that to a great extent for a long
time to come they will be dependent upon
| their old masters, and no doult in some
instances, out of attachment, will be in-
duced to vote against the Republican
âVicket, and in favor of the planters, who
will suppert the Democratic rather the
Radical âVicket. That this will be the
case seems further probable from the fuct
| that already Democratic clubs, composed
entirely of negroes, are springing up in
various places in the South, with an ap-
parently settled determination to support
that party. But while this is what is
occurring in several of the late disaffected
| States, we notice that in Georgia, where
|the rights of the negro were supposed to
| be better understood than in some other
| States, advantage has been taken of
âan old clause in the constitution of that
State, by means of which the colored
members have been expelled from their
seats in the House of Representatives in
that State. âThese men are represented
as being possessed of respectable attain-
ments, and before withdrawing, united
in preparing and presenting, a moderate
and well written protest, in which they
remind the House how the colored peo-
ple stood by the whites in the South,
even unto death, during the war; deny
the legality of the decision arrived at;
express their willingness to retire rather
than resort to acts which might, in a
time of political excitement, produce
civil strife, and express a hope that an
ultimate appeal to Congress andthe jus-
tice of the American people, will in due
time rectify the wrong. It is worthy of
notice that in this protest they were
joined by twelve of the white Republican
members.
This action of the Georgia Legislature,
is denounced by respecteble journals in
several parts of the United States, and
repudiated by one of the colored members
before he retired, named âTurner, in an
able and effective speech, who by such
action, has, asa matter of course, been
driven into opposition. âThis man was
himsclf once a slave, but by dint of per-
severance and a diligent study of his
books while others slept, has qualified
himself to read fluently in Latin, Greek,
and Hebrew, und gave good attention
also to other departments of study. In
âhis address he is reported to have said,
that when he was a slave he had been
| tulken out of doors and flogged for reading
land praying by the bed-side of a sick
lfriend, In withering terms he reminded
the whites of their manifold acts of
| cruelty and oppression to his race, prov-
ling his assertion from facty in his own

led back the|
the Scriptures correctly in the greatest
number of languages. His proposition,
however, met with no response, The
effect of this temporary triumph of the
whites in Georgia will be to increase the
number of yotes for Grant and Colfax
among the colored people in the South.
What is loudly complained of in most
of the States lately in Rebellion, is that
in atime of peace, and without any ne-
cessity for it, they have been and are yet
governed by martial law, and enumerate
many instances of despotism and oppres-
sion whieh have been perpetrated upon
them. âThe Democrats, though, have a
dangerous ally, which wiil stifle many
appeals that would otherwise meet with
a triendly response, it. the Ku Klux Klan,
whose acts of violence have only in mod-
ern times, been exceeded by the Sepoys
of India, âThe negroes in Mississippi
and Alabama may organize Democratic
Clubs, but itis not likely that they will
in Georgia, Florida, or Svuth Carolina.
âThe probability is, that the proceedings
against the negroes in Georgia will find
a response in the South, that will more
than counteract any influence which the
Ku Klux Klan organization can bring to
bear against the white Unionists on whom
in Kentucky they have reeked their veng-
ence in threats and acts which are dis-
grateful, crucl, and diabolically wicked.
The feeling in the South against the
Republican clement in the north is doubt-
less strong and bitter, and much remains
to be effected before a patriotic love for
the Unron will be again in the ascendant
in cach State of the American Republic.
This, however, is no more than what it is
natural to look for after the ordeal
through which the Republic has passed.
âThe Republicans, no doubt, havea sound-
er and nobler principle running through
their platform than their opponents, but
it is undeniable that its beauty has been
greatly obliterated by many of the acts
of those in authority, and as a result a
success is rendered doubtiul, that ought
to have been certain, and although the
Republicans may carry their Candidates
triumphantly through the contest, it will
be owing as much to the folly of the
Democrats, as to the strength and popul-
arity of their party.
Tue First Number of the Fourth Vol-
ume of the JourNnAL is this week usher-
ed into the world. âThe conception of
our mind three years ago, when we pub-
lished the first newspaper in Prince
County, is now one of the fixed, recogni-
zed fuets of Prince Edward Island's his-
tory. Our weekly sheet has taken its
stand among the indispensable comforts
of many Island homes. During the short
but eventful period of our existence, we
have ever kept before us the object im-
plied in our title. âThat title, as we have
gazed onit, has often suggested to us
the means of weekly instructing and pro-
fiting our readers. As a Journal, we
have striven to chronicle the carliest
news, and maintain an uninterrupted re-
cord of all things great and small, which
were interesting and useful. We have
spared neither pains nor expense to em-
ulate the spir.t and pravtice of the great
leaders of journalism, whose marvellous
success of first gleaning and then pre-
senting in an interesting form the earliest
intelligence from all quarters of the globe,
is one of the great features of the nine-
teenth century.
As a Vioncer Journal, we have striven
to direct public attention to the wants,
interests and resources of our Western
Country. âThere has been, we believe,
much already effected in this matter,
through the agency of our columns, and
much remains to be done. We have the
interests of our farmers and Mechanics
much at heart, and shall continue to ad-
yocate all measures conducing to the pros-
perity of these ** solid menâ of our coun-
try.
We herewith return thanks to the pub-
lie generally for the extensive âpatronage
we have received at their hands, Our
circulation has steadily increased, and is
now as large, ifnot the largest of any
paper on the Island; a fact which will
well shew the advantages possessed by
our columns for advertising the wants and
wishes of our patrons, ADVERTISING,
in this age of the world, is a paying con-
cern to those who thus call attention to
their businese, and we trust that the be-
nefit thus conferred by us on the business
prospects of the Island is not small.
Our thanks are especially due to our
good paying subscribers, through whose
prompt assistance we haye been enabled
so successfully to prosecute our under-
taking. Our terms evidently favor the
system of pre payment, being onÂź Dor-
LAR in advance, but otherwise NINE SHIL-
uincs. âTo all delinquents we would re-
spectfully say, âPay up.â We- have
given you our time and labor, mental and
physical, and we appeal to your better
feelings, and ask have we nota right to
our pay.
And now in commencing our fourth
yolume, we do so under auspicious cir-
cumstances, and with much faith in the
public good will. We are friends of all,
and enemies of none, and we hope to
labor well and faithfully during the com-
ing year to the instruction and profit of
all our readers. We will, at the same
time, never fear to expose the wrong and
maintain the right, whether that wrong
be committed by an individual or by a
government.

SUPREME OOURT.
The October term of this Court was
opened at Saint Eleanorâs on last âTues.
day, Chief Justice Honason presiding.
In common with all classes of the people
of Prince County, we were pleased to sce
the venerible Chief Justice again in this
circuit, in his judicial capacity. His
Lordship appears hale and active, and
we sincerely wish that many years will
yet be added to his already long and un-
blemished life. Ilis Lordship delivered
the usual charge to the Grand Jury, notes
of which, we regret to say, we were un-
able to obtain.
As usual, our friends of the long robe,

good people of the County. In th ab-
aon
sence of the Attorney General, we, per-
ceive that Mr. Reddin, the Solicitor-Gen-
eral, with the Hon. Edward Palmer, are
conducting the Crown business. âThe
criminal calendar is somewhat more for-
midable than at previous terms; but we
are happy to say that the nature of the in-
dictmen's are not serious. Some four
or five Bills were found on the first day
ofthe term, against parties for assault,
larceny, &c,

QUEENS COUNTY EXHIBITION OF LO-
CAL INDUSTRY, &c.
Tue Queen's County Exhibition came
off, as advertised, in Holland Grove, Char-
lottetown, on âTuesday last Among the
many influential gentlemen of Charlotte-
town who were on the grounds, we may
name the Ion, G, Coles, Judge Peters,
Col, Gray, Pope, Beer, Palmer, Di. Jen-
kins and others; befide the Hon. Mr. Iay-
thorne, Laird, Mr, Hyde, Lawson, and
many whom we did not know, from the
County, who throughout evinced the most
lively and intelligently expressed interest
in the proceedings.
The stock was arranged on the grounds
thus:âOn the right, up about filty yards
from the gate, the sheep, pigs and calves
were nicely arranged in separate lots of
pens; at the head were the cattle, and on
the left the horses, A few of the cows
exhibited the previous week in this âTown
surpassed some that were brought on the
ground in Charlottetown; but while this
is true, yel there were cattle on the ground
in Charlottetown which far surpassed any
that were shown in this County. The
Clydesdale Entire Colt, from the Model
Karm, we were assured by a gentleman
present exceeded any he ever sw in the
Old Country; and a yearling heiter owned
by the Ifon, Mr. Coles was proportionate-
ly large. âThe cows sent in by the Lieut.
Governor were large, and we are>certain
were of that kind which is worthy the at-
tention of all interested in raising good
stock, Indeed there were a great number
of excellent cows on the ground, small,
thin necks being a characteristic teature in
them all, We particularly noticed a fine
bull, labelled to weigh 1382 Ibs., but were
unable at the time toa ain who owned
him, and the rain suppressed our further
enquiries, There were several heavier ani-
mals on the ground, but we question il
there was one better adapted to this Coun-
try. i
The sheep far surpassed any that were
brought on the grounds here, Phe pens
of lambs, owned respectively by Messrs.
Longworth and Wright, were really excel-
lent, while several others were almost
equally good.
Mr. George Gardiner of Bedeque, brought
on the grounds a horse lately imported vy
him from Canada, which was admired, we
think, by every person on the grounds;
and with one exception we heard him des-
eribed as being free from at least any no-
ticeable blemish. ** Lhatâs the horseâ was
2% common expression, Mr. iner
doubtless deserving of great praise for
importing so ling an animal. The horses
and cattle generally were not better than
those shown at Summerside, âThe Queenâs
County Cattle Show, taken as a whole,we
are certain may be safely regarded as
highly creditable, not merely to those most
interested, but to Prince Euward Island.
Tn the Drill Shed were arranged for the
free inspection of the publie, on âTuesday,
the poultry, grain, horticulture, fruit, but-
ter and cheese; textile fabrics in wool,
flux and knit goods, The poultry, in our
opinion, was hot su good as some displayed
in Summerside; nor do we think the grain
was any better; but with the exception of
cuuliflowers, tomatoes, and we may add
turnips and potatoes, all the articles ar-
ranged under the head of * horticultureâ
were much larger and richer looking than
those which were exhibited in this County.
The fruit, butter and cheese we did not
consider better than what was exhibited
here, The knit articles and hooked mats
were, We think, also, in a few instances
better, Mrs. Strong's oil painting was
quite equal, we should say, to any in the
Drill Shed on exhibition inâCharlottctown,
Our space does not permit us to dwell
longer upon the Exhibition of Local In-
dusury for 1868, in Queens County but we
have vo doubt but that the Exhibitions in
all the Counties this year fully justilies the
wisdom of the Legislature in the provision
made for holding them, and will simulate
to increased coinpetition in those grand
industrial pursuits which are destined to
add so much tu the prosperity of this Col-
ony.

KINGS COUNTY EXHIBITION.
We are happy to leain from the Patriot
of the Bd inst. that the Kings County Ix-
hibition cane off sv successtully.
Exhibition opened on Yoesday ihe 29th.
and was continued from ten until four
o'clock on Wednesday. but the attendance
on either day was perhaps not so large as
it it had been open tor but one day. But
tuken as a whole, the display in the various
departinents of industey was highly credit-
able to those who brought them to the
Exhibition, and refleet much credit upon
that County, he /atriot reters specially
tu the excellence and finish of the woven
and knit woolen goods displayed, many ot
which were equal, if not superior, in some
respects to many usually imported,
Some fine specimens of edge twols and
manufacturing implements were exhibited,
In wood, smuli casks, barrels and mea-
sures Were displayed; also, a handsome
selection of furniture, in Wwaluut, birch aud
maple.
âVhe products of the soil were various
and good, but on account of the backward:
ness of the harvest there was less grain
shown than would have been had the
weather for the previous weeks been more
favorable tor our farmers,
âPhe cattle show was the least successful,
although tine animals were on the ground,
âThe exhibition was doubtless a success,
and a good eanest of what will yet be
ieved by diligence and enterprise in

Franklin's Expedition.
The New York Herald has some interest-
ing information concerning the Expedition
âot Captain Lall which started to find traces
of Sir John Franklin and his party, Some
important discoveries have been made, and
âour readers will peruse'the extracts given
below with interest. The information is
furnished by Dr. Goold, of Dublin, who
hhas been during tlieâpast two years in the
Polar regions :â
âDr. Goold artived at New London,
Conn,,a few days since, on board a whaling
ship, from Cumberland Inlet, and states
that in August, 1867, he spent some time
with Mr. fiat who was then at Repulse
Bay, Mr, Mall has traced the fate directly
of two of the lust survivors ot Sir John
Franklin's party, and has obtained value-
able information regarding the relics and
some records reported by the natives to
have been leit by the lost expedition in
King Williamâs wand, Captain Malllearned
from some of the Esquimaux, in 1866,

wunpton Island, while endeavoring to make
their way to that place, in the beliet that
they would be there able to mect a whaler
âto conyey them back to England, or, in
fact anywhere, to escape from their Artic
prison,
Captain Mall ts confident of the identity
ol Captain Crozier with one of the men as
described to haye perishea, as the natives
uot only gave Captain Crozicrâs name, but
were in possession of certain articles that
belonged to him und his companion. Mr.
Hall obtained from these Esquimaux Capt.
Crozierâs watch, a gold chronometer, made
by Arnold and Dent of London, besides
some small articles of silver and trinkets
belonging to their outlit, âThese relics
Mr, Hall now holds, and they haye been
seen and handled by Dr. Goold. Captatn
Crozierâs companion, who died with him,
is believed to have been astewart of either
the Frebus or Zervor, as the natives say he
Was a server of food, but could not recol-
lect his name.
âThe natives also states that they have
among them, near Southampton Island, a
piece of gold bullion which belonged to
apt. Crozier, and is believrd to have
formed part of one ot his equatettes. âThey
also stated that a number ot others had
wtarted with Captain Crozier trom a place
Very far north to reach Southampton Inlet,
âbut had perished one by one on the way.
They had been passed trom one band of
Enewits to the other, and when Captain
Crozier had passed through two wibes the
natives say all further traces were lost;
but Capt. Mall himself traced the remaind-
er there. Capt. ILall also says: âLhe opin-
fon most entertained is, that the natives
killed them.â âThey say themselyes there
was no diflicuity in Capt Crozier getting
through, bocause he was accounted among
the natives a first-rate hunter for that
âcountry, and could at all times keep him:
self in food.

THE UNITED STATES,
Tue approaching Presidential Election
in the United States is engaging the ac-
tive attention of that energetic people, in
every State of the Union. Vermont and
Maine have already foreshadowed their
decision in their recent State elections of
Governors and State legislators, in each
of which the Republicans have had large
majorities. âThe general opinion is that
Grant and Colfax will be returned, but a
large majority in their favor is not antici-
pated by their more judicious friends,
Doubtless the present contest, to a great
extent,is one between those who haye won
and those who have lost in the late civil
war. âhe Republicans are desirous of
completing the work of reconstruction,
to which they haye placed their hands,
claiming that none understand how to
set the national house in order, or know
how to cement the disorganized materials
so effectually. âThe Democrats, on the
other hand, are equally zealous in their
opposition, but in effecting their object
are likely to lose more than they will
gain by some of their auxillaries. As in
France a few years ago, it was found that
the prestige of a name carried with it a
great influence, so is it with the Republi-
cans of the United States, whe find in
the name of Grant good material for a
popular canvas, while the excellent pri-
vate and public character of Mr. Colfax
is favorable also to the same issue.
In the South the expectations of the
colored people have not been realized.
They say that the Republicans made pro-
mises to them which have not been ful-
filled, and doubtless at the forthcoming
election many of them, from an intuitive
sense, that to a great extent for a long
time to come they will be dependent upon
| their old masters, and no doult in some
instances, out of attachment, will be in-
duced to vote against the Republican
âVicket, and in favor of the planters, who
will suppert the Democratic rather the
Radical âVicket. That this will be the
case seems further probable from the fuct
| that already Democratic clubs, composed
entirely of negroes, are springing up in
various places in the South, with an ap-
parently settled determination to support
that party. But while this is what is
occurring in several of the late disaffected
| States, we notice that in Georgia, where
|the rights of the negro were supposed to
| be better understood than in some other
| States, advantage has been taken of
âan old clause in the constitution of that
State, by means of which the colored
members have been expelled from their
seats in the House of Representatives in
that State. âThese men are represented
as being possessed of respectable attain-
ments, and before withdrawing, united
in preparing and presenting, a moderate
and well written protest, in which they
remind the House how the colored peo-
ple stood by the whites in the South,
even unto death, during the war; deny
the legality of the decision arrived at;
express their willingness to retire rather
than resort to acts which might, in a
time of political excitement, produce
civil strife, and express a hope that an
ultimate appeal to Congress andthe jus-
tice of the American people, will in due
time rectify the wrong. It is worthy of
notice that in this protest they were
joined by twelve of the white Republican
members.
This action of the Georgia Legislature,
is denounced by respecteble journals in
several parts of the United States, and
repudiated by one of the colored members
before he retired, named âTurner, in an
able and effective speech, who by such
action, has, asa matter of course, been
driven into opposition. âThis man was
himsclf once a slave, but by dint of per-
severance and a diligent study of his
books while others slept, has qualified
himself to read fluently in Latin, Greek,
and Hebrew, und gave good attention
also to other departments of study. In
âhis address he is reported to have said,
that when he was a slave he had been
| tulken out of doors and flogged for reading
land praying by the bed-side of a sick
lfriend, In withering terms he reminded
the whites of their manifold acts of
| cruelty and oppression to his race, prov-
ling his assertion from facty in his own

led back the|
the Scriptures correctly in the greatest
number of languages. His proposition,
however, met with no response, The
effect of this temporary triumph of the
whites in Georgia will be to increase the
number of yotes for Grant and Colfax
among the colored people in the South.
What is loudly complained of in most
of the States lately in Rebellion, is that
in atime of peace, and without any ne-
cessity for it, they have been and are yet
governed by martial law, and enumerate
many instances of despotism and oppres-
sion whieh have been perpetrated upon
them. âThe Democrats, though, have a
dangerous ally, which wiil stifle many
appeals that would otherwise meet with
a triendly response, it. the Ku Klux Klan,
whose acts of violence have only in mod-
ern times, been exceeded by the Sepoys
of India, âThe negroes in Mississippi
and Alabama may organize Democratic
Clubs, but itis not likely that they will
in Georgia, Florida, or Svuth Carolina.
âThe probability is, that the proceedings
against the negroes in Georgia will find
a response in the South, that will more
than counteract any influence which the
Ku Klux Klan organization can bring to
bear against the white Unionists on whom
in Kentucky they have reeked their veng-
ence in threats and acts which are dis-
grateful, crucl, and diabolically wicked.
The feeling in the South against the
Republican clement in the north is doubt-
less strong and bitter, and much remains
to be effected before a patriotic love for
the Unron will be again in the ascendant
in cach State of the American Republic.
This, however, is no more than what it is
natural to look for after the ordeal
through which the Republic has passed.
âThe Republicans, no doubt, havea sound-
er and nobler principle running through
their platform than their opponents, but
it is undeniable that its beauty has been
greatly obliterated by many of the acts
of those in authority, and as a result a
success is rendered doubtiul, that ought
to have been certain, and although the
Republicans may carry their Candidates
triumphantly through the contest, it will
be owing as much to the folly of the
Democrats, as to the strength and popul-
arity of their party.
Tue First Number of the Fourth Vol-
ume of the JourNnAL is this week usher-
ed into the world. âThe conception of
our mind three years ago, when we pub-
lished the first newspaper in Prince
County, is now one of the fixed, recogni-
zed fuets of Prince Edward Island's his-
tory. Our weekly sheet has taken its
stand among the indispensable comforts
of many Island homes. During the short
but eventful period of our existence, we
have ever kept before us the object im-
plied in our title. âThat title, as we have
gazed onit, has often suggested to us
the means of weekly instructing and pro-
fiting our readers. As a Journal, we
have striven to chronicle the carliest
news, and maintain an uninterrupted re-
cord of all things great and small, which
were interesting and useful. We have
spared neither pains nor expense to em-
ulate the spir.t and pravtice of the great
leaders of journalism, whose marvellous
success of first gleaning and then pre-
senting in an interesting form the earliest
intelligence from all quarters of the globe,
is one of the great features of the nine-
teenth century.
As a Vioncer Journal, we have striven
to direct public attention to the wants,
interests and resources of our Western
Country. âThere has been, we believe,
much already effected in this matter,
through the agency of our columns, and
much remains to be done. We have the
interests of our farmers and Mechanics
much at heart, and shall continue to ad-
yocate all measures conducing to the pros-
perity of these ** solid menâ of our coun-
try.
We herewith return thanks to the pub-
lie generally for the extensive âpatronage
we have received at their hands, Our
circulation has steadily increased, and is
now as large, ifnot the largest of any
paper on the Island; a fact which will
well shew the advantages possessed by
our columns for advertising the wants and
wishes of our patrons, ADVERTISING,
in this age of the world, is a paying con-
cern to those who thus call attention to
their businese, and we trust that the be-
nefit thus conferred by us on the business
prospects of the Island is not small.
Our thanks are especially due to our
good paying subscribers, through whose
prompt assistance we haye been enabled
so successfully to prosecute our under-
taking. Our terms evidently favor the
system of pre payment, being onÂź Dor-
LAR in advance, but otherwise NINE SHIL-
uincs. âTo all delinquents we would re-
spectfully say, âPay up.â We- have
given you our time and labor, mental and
physical, and we appeal to your better
feelings, and ask have we nota right to
our pay.
And now in commencing our fourth
yolume, we do so under auspicious cir-
cumstances, and with much faith in the
public good will. We are friends of all,
and enemies of none, and we hope to
labor well and faithfully during the com-
ing year to the instruction and profit of
all our readers. We will, at the same
time, never fear to expose the wrong and
maintain the right, whether that wrong
be committed by an individual or by a
government.

able to obtain.
As usual, our friends of the long robe,
scem to have bags full ot writs for the
good people of the County. In th ab-
aon
sence of the Attorney General, we, per-
ceive that Mr. Reddin, the Solicitor-Gen-
eral, with the Hon. Edward Palmer, are
conducting the Crown business. âThe
criminal calendar is somewhat more for-
midable than at previous terms; but we
are happy to say that the nature of the in-
dictmen's are not serious. Some four
or five Bills were found on the first day
ofthe term, against parties for assault,
larceny, &c,
The Grand Inquest is composed of the
following gentlemen :â

QUEENS COUNTY EXHIBITION OF LO-
CAL INDUSTRY, &c.
Tue Queen's County Exhibition came
off, as advertised, in Holland Grove, Char-
lottetown, on âTuesday last Among the
many influential gentlemen of Charlotte-
town who were on the grounds, we may
name the Ion, G, Coles, Judge Peters,
Col, Gray, Pope, Beer, Palmer, Di. Jen-
kins and others; befide the Hon. Mr. Iay-
thorne, Laird, Mr, Hyde, Lawson, and
many whom we did not know, from the
County, who throughout evinced the most
lively and intelligently expressed interest
in the proceedings.
The stock was arranged on the grounds
thus:âOn the right, up about filty yards
from the gate, the sheep, pigs and calves
were nicely arranged in separate lots of
pens; at the head were the cattle, and on
the left the horses, A few of the cows
exhibited the previous week in this âTown
surpassed some that were brought on the
ground in Charlottetown; but while this
is true, yel there were cattle on the ground
in Charlottetown which far surpassed any
that were shown in this County. The
Clydesdale Entire Colt, from the Model
Karm, we were assured by a gentleman
present exceeded any he ever sw in the
Old Country; and a yearling heiter owned
by the Ifon, Mr. Coles was proportionate-
ly large. âThe cows sent in by the Lieut.
Governor were large, and we are>certain
were of that kind which is worthy the at-
tention of all interested in raising good
stock, Indeed there were a great number
of excellent cows on the ground, small,
thin necks being a characteristic teature in
them all, We particularly noticed a fine
bull, labelled to weigh 1382 Ibs., but were
unable at the time toa ain who owned
him, and the rain suppressed our further
enquiries, There were several heavier ani-
mals on the ground, but we question il
there was one better adapted to this Coun-
try. i
The sheep far surpassed any that were
brought on the grounds here, Phe pens
of lambs, owned respectively by Messrs.
Longworth and Wright, were really excel-
lent, while several others were almost
equally good.
Mr. George Gardiner of Bedeque, brought
on the grounds a horse lately imported vy
him from Canada, which was admired, we
think, by every person on the grounds;
and with one exception we heard him des-
eribed as being free from at least any no-
ticeable blemish. ** Lhatâs the horseâ was
2% common expression, Mr. iner
doubtless deserving of great praise for
importing so ling an animal. The horses
and cattle generally were not better than
those shown at Summerside, âThe Queenâs
County Cattle Show, taken as a whole,we
are certain may be safely regarded as
highly creditable, not merely to those most
interested, but to Prince Euward Island.
Tn the Drill Shed were arranged for the
free inspection of the publie, on âTuesday,
the poultry, grain, horticulture, fruit, but-
ter and cheese; textile fabrics in wool,
flux and knit goods, The poultry, in our
opinion, was hot su good as some displayed
in Summerside; nor do we think the grain
was any better; but with the exception of
cuuliflowers, tomatoes, and we may add
turnips and potatoes, all the articles ar-
ranged under the head of * horticultureâ
were much larger and richer looking than
those which were exhibited in this County.
The fruit, butter and cheese we did not
consider better than what was exhibited
here, The knit articles and hooked mats
were, We think, also, in a few instances
better, Mrs. Strong's oil painting was
quite equal, we should say, to any in the
Drill Shed on exhibition inâCharlottctown,
Our space does not permit us to dwell
longer upon the Exhibition of Local In-
dusury for 1868, in Queens County but we
have vo doubt but that the Exhibitions in
all the Counties this year fully justilies the
wisdom of the Legislature in the provision
made for holding them, and will simulate
to increased coinpetition in those grand
industrial pursuits which are destined to
add so much tu the prosperity of this Col-
ony.

KINGS COUNTY EXHIBITION.
We are happy to leain from the Patriot
of the Bd inst. that the Kings County Ix-
hibition cane off sv successtully.
Exhibition opened on Yoesday ihe 29th.
and was continued from ten until four
o'clock on Wednesday. but the attendance
on either day was perhaps not so large as
it it had been open tor but one day. But
tuken as a whole, the display in the various
departinents of industey was highly credit-
able to those who brought them to the
Exhibition, and refleet much credit upon
that County, he /atriot reters specially
tu the excellence and finish of the woven
and knit woolen goods displayed, many ot
which were equal, if not superior, in some
respects to many usually imported,
Some fine specimens of edge twols and
manufacturing implements were exhibited,
In wood, smuli casks, barrels and mea-
sures Were displayed; also, a handsome
selection of furniture, in Wwaluut, birch aud
maple.
âVhe products of the soil were various
and good, but on account of the backward:
ness of the harvest there was less grain
shown than would have been had the
weather for the previous weeks been more
favorable tor our farmers,
âPhe cattle show was the least successful,
although tine animals were on the ground,
âThe exhibition was doubtless a success,
and a good eanest of what will yet be
ieved by diligence and enterprise in
gs County.

SUIOIDE.
Ox Friday morning last, about 7 o'clock,
Dr, Uasey, of this place, committed suicide
in his office. Ile inflicted a deep wound
on each side of the neck. and when found
lite was extinct. A Coroners Inquest was
held before âthomas Hunt, Esq., and the
jury returned the following verdict ;â
âThis Jury consider that Kitson Casey
came to his death, by committing suicide with
a knife, whilst laboring under temporary in-
sanity, induced as they suppose by typhoid
fever,â
Dr. Casey had been practising mediclad
in this âLown for the lust twelve months,
and was well and favorably known,
te Our neighbor, Mr, Joseph Rogers,
caught a half barrel of mackerel inâ the
harbor on âTuesday last, in about tive
hours. Pretty good, this.
The Market prices to-day are Oats 28 6d.

The Steamer Princess of Wales took from

Sheep, 20 head Cattle, 80 bbls, eggs, aud
about 200 bbls, Oysters.
âThe Steamer SĂ©. Lawrence has arrived in

Captain Lundâs name should have ap.
peare commander of the Steamer
Princess of Wales, instead ot Capt, Burke's,

has sailed for many years on this coast, and
we believe he is fully competent to fill the
oncrous post assigued hin,
Presi nratrion âLust evening a depu-
tation from the young men in connection
with Rev, Mr. Irameâs congregation in
Summerside, waited on him and presented
him with the handsome Overcoat made by
Mr. Join McKenzie, of this Town, and
exhibited at the Prince County Exhibition,
valued at ÂŁ7 10s., uceompanied by an ad-
dress expressive of their regard for hin as
their Pastor, to which he made a suitable
veply. Such tokens of kindness and con-
sidvvation from the young men ot a cons
wry
gregation, are worthy of praise, and will
no doubt be prized by their Pastor Jar
above the mere intrinsic value,

on. âIn Prince Edward
Island. tor many years, there has been living
asailor of whom the public have heard but
little, but of whom professionally much might
be said that is highly commendable.âWe
allude to our fellow-citizen, Captain John
Salmon, who has been crossing the Atlantic
regularly since 1818, and who, in the last
thirteen years, took home as many as thirty:
six brigantines, brigs, barks, or ships, He
has slways made quick passages. During his
50 yearsâ sea-fearing life, Capt, Salmon never
lost a boat, spar, or vessel, nor ran one on
shore. Ile has often been despatched to
save vessels lost by other master-mariners
Once only he had the misfortune to see a
Nand washed overboard, Such a âlog,â pro-
bably no living sailorin the Merchant Service
can produce. It gives evidence ofa care,
fidelity, and good seamanship, which should,
and, we think, would, it properly represented,
clict the favorable notice of the Board of
âTrade, and the Lords of the Admirality, âLo
say nothing of the vast amount of property
he has saved to his employers, how many
thousands of pounds has he not saved to the
Marine Insurance Companies of Great Brit-
ain, a fact which la s them under heavy un-
requited obligations to the subject of this
paragraph, Many men, for contributing far
less to the preservation of life and property,
have had their services handsomely acknow-
ledyed and liberally rewarded. The Captain
is still hale ind hearty, and intends to sail in
afew days for Liverpool.âJâatriot,
