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 : Se yoons ladies and gentlemen were aecom- lists. The refreshments served up on Mr. MeDonald, high ok a ye tebe ‘* w en every pains for the of the excursjonists, so far’ as - ments were e eatin on we on 70 or 80 excu all in for AC 8 aetock, p. m., We round- Sh aunt whee tonne ck far Sota we a view of the Tea Party or George and Star Banner waving SAE anaes ene ersaaen cesses ara proudly side by side--A Moving fell of human belies Wie ft to? 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 Yours, &e., &e., EXCURSIONISTS. Cn'town, July 22, 1868. Mr. A. Hf.

Che Herald. Wednesday, July 22, 1868. se me en resting 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 are due to the highly efficient Professors for their zeal to-day, tain if your relatives or friends had been present during course of people, with intoxleating liquors sold within | Your competition for the various prizes which you have so worthily obtained, they would have been delighted with your answering, and have felt satisfied that the education imparted here is of the highest order. and I urged them to further perseverance; for, some fifty years ago, educated men were the exception, now they are the rule. studies here now, in the race of life you will find swifter runners jostle you out of It, exert yourselves, you the advantages you possess of learning, as you com- mand such good Professors; yet, these are unavailing unless your own industry is shewn, the highest stages In life, in which I hope you will all succecd. some addresses. ‘The addresses were brief and appro- | on. quent sessions you must also exert yourselves, so that your progress may reflect honor on yourselves and on following prize list:— 2nd Arithmetic.—Ist, William Lochead; 3nd, Eddison Grammar—lIst, Joseph Brown; 2nd, William Davies, Spelling—1st, John Creamer; 2nd, Alfred Large.

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 and activity In pursuing their avocations with such good results and they are likewise due to Mr. Roche for having taken such pains with the examination of the students The facilities you have for perfecting your- selves in your various studies are greater by far than were to be obtained not many years ago; and I am cer- Ata very recent examination at St. Dunstan's College, I had reason to speak of the increased diligence of its students, So, unless you diligently pursue your Endeavor, therefore, to His Excellency has impressed upon Fit yourselves for Your examination has given us much satisfic- Recollect, that for next session, and for subse- this Institution.

Hodgson vs Thomas Dawson. a 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.
