It is said that at the recent election in LaPrarie county, P. ., twenty-seven dead and absent electors recorded their votes for the Liberal candidate,

Quebec advices report that the new Provincial loan of 34 millions has been floated at 34 per cent. premium, the Chemical Bank of New York being the suc cessful tenderer.

Atarecent meetingof the Halifax tem- perance league it was resolved to raise $1000, as a guarantee fund, for the purpose ol enforcing the liquor license law. Nearly one half of the amount has been already subseribed and paid in. This looks as though the temperance people meant busi-

ness.

An Ottawa despatch reports that steps are to be taken next year to induce the city to grant a prize for competition at the Dominion Rifle Association matches there, similar to the London corporation prize, annually competed for at Wimbledon. Riflemen will no doubt appreciate the

action.

A manifesto written in behalf of Prince Victor by Ciement Deroyer, was read at all the Bonapartist banquets in Paris on the 16th. In it M. Deroyer says : ‘* Prince Victor intends in future to be the sole chief of all the Imperialist committees of Paris and the different departments. Under his personal direction we shall achieve the concentration that is necessary to success. This policy is destined to re- store the empire.”

Water was struck in the second well at three mile run yesterday, at a depth of about twenty-two feet, and is now running at the rate of upwards of forty thousand gallons every twenty-four hours. The first well dug, on a second measurement yesterday, did not come quite up to the standard of the previous day. Mr. Trainor is now at work on another well in the same vicinity. Quite a number of prominent citizens have visited the locality duing the past few days.

The Toronto Mail’s London cable says that ‘correspondence is still proceeding between Sir Charles Tupper and Mr. Goschen, Chancellor of the Exchequer, re- garding the Canadian Pacific subsidy. It cannot, however, be said at present whether any resuit will be announced be- fore prorogation. Mr. Goschen and all other members of the government evince great interest in the proposal, and frankly recognize the great exertion of Canada in making the’trans-continental railway of such value to England.

—- An exchange says: ‘‘They have a new drink in Kansas, where prohibition is sup- posed to be in force, named clarigue. It is called a temperance beverage and is not intoxicating, but it has a curious effect on the eyes, giving one moon the appearance ot two, and it also affects the lower limbs in such a way as to make locomotion ex- tremely difficult. It is believed to contain an oriental sleeping potion, as people who drink it seem willing to lie down anywhere andtake a nap.” We have lots of ‘‘temper- ance’ drinks right here in Char'ottetown which have exactly the same effect. Singu- lar, is'nt it / is

-Mr. Westgarth, in the course of an able article in the The Colonies and India, makes comparison of the debts of the Aus- tralian and Canadian colonies, very much to the advantage of the latter. We quote: “Our Australasian group, which as colonies are but of yesterday compared, for instance, with the Canadian group, has, with its re- cent population of hardly yet three and a half millions, rushed already into a public debt of nearly one hundred and fifty millions (pounds) sterling, and appears to be still rushing on into fresh scores of millions with almost, perhaps altogether, the same speed as before. Our transatlantic Dominion, after a life of centuries, and with one-half more of population has only as yet about forty millions sterling of public debt.”

—From a supplement to the report of the Minister of Public Works for the years 1885-6, we learn that the total amount ex- pended in the construction, maintainence and repair of Public Works since confedera- tion amounts to $201,369,277. The follow- ing table shows the expenditure by pro- vinces :

— The reports of the famine in Labrador will require confirmation before they can be accepted as reliable. According to re- cent despatches to the American papers ** 50,000 people in Newfoundland and Labrador are in danger of speedy starva- tion, owing to the failure of the fishing season for three successive years, together with the summer droughts which have in- tervened. The situation could not be worse,and there is certain to be widespread starvation.” The Newfoundland corres- pondent of the Montreal Gazette, writing on the 10th inst., tells quite a different tale, This is what he says: ‘‘ There has been a marke? improvement in the shore fishery since the date of my last letter; hook and line men, our most numerous class, have been doing well during the last fortnight. There is now no doubt that the bank fish- ery this year will be decidedly successful, and, as we have about 250 vessels engaged in it, its prosperity wiil be widely felt.” Commenting on the foregoing the Gazette says: ‘‘From the Labrador fishery no late news had been received up to August 10th, but the last advices had been hopeful and no apprehension was felt. The crops have proved a parcial failure through drought, it is true, but certainly there is no such fail: ure as to justify the repurt of impending

starvation.”

Baptist Convention Notes.

As is known to many of our readers, the General Convention of the Baptist Churches of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and P. E. Island will be held this year, in Charlottetown, commencing to-morrow &t 10 a. m., in the Baptist Church edifice.

The Convention is the general and executive body ef the denomination, and legislates for nearly 45,000° conimunicants in the three Provinces.

The different boards and cominittees of departmental work hold their annual meet: inus during the sessions of Conveutien

Che Governors of Acadia College hold « preliminary meeting to-day, and during the session there will be several meetings of the Governors and senate of the University tu arrange for the work of the ensuing year.

The history of this Institution, founded forty-nine years ago, has been one of uain- terrupted success and prosperity, and the last year has been, perhaps, the most suc- cussful year in its history. The enrolled students in the full college course num- bered 91, and a class of eighteen fine young men graduated and received the B. A. degree in June last—a record which per- haps surpasses any college in the Maritime Provinces. The matriculation class which enters the College this autumn numbers thirty-seven, and the full attendance pro- bably 100. In Holton Academy, the pre- paratory institution of Acadia College, and under the management of the same Board of Directors, the number of students last year was ninety.

The Ladies’ Seminary, which is also fed- erated in University capacity, last year enrolled eighty-three students. The friends of the University claim that in all depart- ments of a full arts course and liberal edu- cation its curriculums and _ work is unsurpassed by any institution in the Dominion.

Dr. Sawyer, a native of the United States and a graduate of Brown University, is President of the College, Professor Tufts is Principal of the Academy, and Miss Wadsworth, a graduate of Mount Holy- oke Seminary, is Preceptress of the Ladies’ Seminary, and in each Institution they are supported by an enthusiastic band of Professors and assistants. Prof. R. Von C. Jones, a native of P. E. 1., has for many years occupied the most important chair in the College Faculty. Next year will be the fiftieth anniversary of the Col- lege and will be celebrated at Wolfville with jubilee ceremonies. A _ successful effort is being now made to raise a jubilee fund of $50,000 to add to the present endowment of the College. We might also add that the commanding locations and handsome buildings occupied by the Uni- versity of Acadia College at Wolfville, N. S., situated on the hills overlooking the Basin of Minas and the Grand Pre, made historic by Longfellow as the land of ‘‘Evan- geline,” is much admired by all tourists.

This evening the annual meeting of the stockholders of the ‘‘Maritime Baptist Puab- lishing Company” will beheld in the vestry of the Baptist Church. This Company was formed with a capital of eleven or twelve thousand dollars, for the purpose of pub- lishing the Messenger and Visitor, which is the organ of the denomination. It is pub- lished at St. John, N. B., Dr. Goodspeed is Editor-in-Chief, and it has a paying sub- scription list of nearly 8,000. The Convention will probably continue in session during the greater part of next week.

There is a large and active ‘‘Ladies Mis- sionary Union” in connection with the Baptist Convention. Last year it raised at least 25 per cent. of the foreign missionary funds of the denomination.

The Executive of the ‘* Ladies Union” will meet at 10 a. m., to-morrow in the vestry of the Baptist Church. And the business meeting, for the election of ofticers and other business will be held at 2. p.m. at the same place.

Among the arrivals last night of the dele- gates tothe Baptist Convention, we notice the names of B. H. Easton, Esq., Barrister, of Halifax, and President of the Convention; Dr. Sawyer, President of Acadia Col- lege ; Rev. C. Goodspeed, editor of Messen- ger and Visitor, and Hon. Dr. Parker, M. L. C., of Halifax. The latter gentleman is the guest of Senator Carvell.

The Lyceum.

Witson’s MINISTRELSs gave their opennig performance toa large audience last evening. The entertainment commenced with the re- gulation minstrel scene in which some good songs were sung and jokes cracked. Next came Mr. James Smith, ,the boneless won- der, who is an exceedingly clever contor- tionist, and who is apparently able to “‘ let ‘er go,” where ever he has a mind to. Messrs. Falkes and Semon, in their com- edy, ‘‘Mirth and Melody,” appeared to good advantage, playing with much accep- tance on a variety of musical instruments. Smith, Burke and Mantell, in their songs and dances, and Billy Bryant in his own creation, ‘* Trouble,” were very funny, the latter’s song, ‘* There’s no place like home,” tickling the boys immensely. Prof. Bur- ton’s Dog Show is alone worth the price of admission, The dogs are well trained, and show an intelligence almost human. Some of the smaller ones, dressed in female at- tire, came upon the stage and waltzed almost to perfection. Their high and long distance leaping was also good. The per- formance closed with a laughable after-piece entitled ‘‘ Don’t Notice it.” Taken for all in all the company may be said to rank with the best minstrel and variety troupe that has visited us for some years. _They, should, however, try to ring up at the advertised hour, and avoid a repetition of the prelimi- nary proceedings of fast evening, as well as let the audience home at least half an hour earlier. The performance will be repeated to-night, when those who can enjoy a good laugh should attend.
