Annual Gathering of the Clans.

Lasr evening the steamer brought from Pictou an excursion party of two hundred and twenty; this morning the Heather Belle and Southport brought from Belfast and Mount Stewart four or five hundred more; eastern and western trains brought thou- sands from all parts—even from the ends of the Island—and large numbers came into the town in wagons and other vehicles.

At ten o’clock a procession was formed in front of St. Lawrence Hotel. It was head- ed by the pipers of the Clans in their gay tartans, followed by Galbraith’s Band. A huge genuine Scotch thistle was carried in the rear. As the procession marched to the soul-stirring music of ‘‘Auld Scotia,” with flags flying merrily in the breeze, it pre- sented a fine appearance. We noticed, with some regret, that few had donned the pic- turesque kilt, in which the manly forms of Scotland’s sons appear to best advantage. and by which the martial deeds of their gal- lant sires are called to remembrance.

The sports began soon after the proces- sion arrived upon the grounds; and were kept up with zest throughout the day. The competitors in athletic exercises were in greater number than last year. It is im- possible for us to enumerate all the Mor- risons (who stand Al this year) McDon- alds, McKinnons, McLeods, MclIntyres, Campbells, ete , who struggled for the va- rious prizes. We can only give the names of the prize winners, as follows :—

His Honor the Lieutenant Governor, Hon. F. Brecken, Hon. A. J. McDonald, Hon. W. W. Sullivan, Jas. E. McDonald, Esq., M.P.P., W. McKechnie, Esq., Owen Connolly, Esq., and many other prominent gentlemen visited the grounds during the day.

At five o’clock the rain stopped the sports. The remainder of the prize list will be given to-morrow.

A MEETING of the Business Committee of the Liberal-Conservative Association was held last evening. It adjourned till Fri- day evening.

Prof. Allison on the Yo-Semite Valley.

all heard more or less of the erand Yo-semite Valley, and we have all some idea of it. But those of us whe were in imagination taken to it last night by Prof. Allison received impressions of it which will never be effaced and can never be strengthened until they see it in reality. The Professor’s power to describe is extra- erdinary. His portrayal of the wild scenery, the wild men, the wild horses, the wild driv- ing, the gigantic trees, sublime heights and depths of California displays great art and not a little inspiration. The audience gave repeated evidences of their satisfaction while following the Professor to the valley, and when they arrived there they were car- ried away by his eloquence. Professor Allison lectures to-night on temperance. There will of course be an overcrowded house. On Thursday night he will lecture in Reform Club Hall under the auspices of the Ladies Temperance Union of this city.

Sugar Duties.

Tue Toronto Globe admits :—

“The total entries for consumption of sugars of the highest grades—Nos. 13 to 20 —in 1876-7—-were valued at $4,763,997, and the duty paid was $2,047,554, reprsent- ing an advalorem tax of a fraction under 43 per cent. Of the coarser grades—Nos. 9 to 13-—the entries were valued at $362,073, the duty paid being $153,438, or a fraction over 4.2 per cent.

Mr. Drummond says :-

“We hear a good deal of about 20 and 25 per cent. being a high tariff; but sugar such as I have imported is subject to specific aud advalorem duties amounting together to 60 per cent. ° . . At the present time | am paying upon iIn- ferior raw sugar a duty of three quarters

25 per cent., or something like 50 per cent. On slightly better sugar those duties amount to 55 per cent.; on a still better sugar 46 per cent.; on a higher grade than that, 45 per cent.; and on a better kind still, 42 per cent.; while upon American loaf sugar manufactured in New York, and imported into Canada in large quantities, the duty is not over 40 per cent., and upon English sugar of the same description it is not over 385 or 39 per-cent.”’

Yet the Grits would have us believe that no judicious readjustment of sugar duties

can be made !

Beaconsfield’s Policies.

The peroration of Beaconsfield’s _ re- cent great speech in the House of Lords is as follows :—

‘‘T have now, my Lords, laid before you the general outline of the policy we have pursued in the Congress of Berlin and the Convention of Constantinople. They are undoubtedly connected with each other, and they must be considered together. I only hope that the House will not misun- derstand, and I hope the country will not misunderstand, our motives in occupying Cyprus and encouraging those intimate re- lations between ourselves and the govern- ment and populations of Turkey. They are not movements of war. They are opera- tions of peace and civilization. We have no reason to fear war. Her Majesty has an army second to none. England must have seen with pride the Mediterranean covered with her ships. She must have seen with pride the discipline and the devotion to Her Majesty and Her Majesty’s Government of all her troops crawn from every part of her empire (cheers). The illustrious duke in whose presence I speak has himself borne witness to the spirit and the impartial

atriotism which animate the Indian troops is so recently reviewed. But it is not upon our fieets and our armies, however great they may be, that we mainly depend, but on that enterprise on which this country is about to enter. What I most highly value is the consciousness that the Eastern nations will repose confidence in this coun- try, and that they well know that, while they can endorse our policy at the same time, our empire is one of liberty, truth and justice.

do _— Opposition Candidates in Montreal.

We must congratulate our friends in Montreal on the very excellent candidates they have named in the three divisions of the city. With Judge Coursol in the East, Mr. M. H. Gault in the West, and Mr. M. P. Ryan in the Centre, there is the very best prospect of carrying the three con- stituencies. Of another gentleman who was named atthe Nominating Committee the Montreal Star says:—‘‘The eminent services, high talents, and acknowledged ability of Mr. White were put forward in eloquent terms by some of the speakers, and warmly responded to by the audience, but on Mr. Richard White stating that his brother declined to come forward and would work with all his might for the nominee of the party, his name was reluctantly with- drawn.”

The Government party are all at sixes- and-sevens. M. Jeite is in England, and it is said will be made a judge on his re- turn. Noone thinks of ‘‘my cook and I” Workman ; and Mr. Deviin is sv disgusted with the Government, or doubtful of its popularity, that he is going to run as an Independent candidate. M. Laurier had better pay the city a visit and explain what he understands by ‘‘human devices.” —Mail. >

THE McCARTHY MURDER. Dorcuester, Aug. 5.

TO-DAY'S PROCEEDINGS.

The first witness this morning was D. B. White, teacher, of Shediac, also bookkeeper for KE. J. Smith. He said the storm re- ferred to by Warman was on the 13th ; he testified to seeing the man by a horse and wagon on the 15th near the road above the railway where Warman saw him. The horse was in the field with the man leading him in a zigzag course; he has not seen them since. He then exhibited a measurement of the depth of the Scadoue where it is said the body was put, showing first five feet from shore water was nine inches deep, and last five feet, making 140 feet in the chan- nel ; the water was 103 inches deep.

To Mr. Palmer—He said he did not think it possible for a horse and wagon to go out near the channel the way the tide was on the 12th. He also thought it impossible to go to the channel as it was when he measured it, and that farmer Atkinson’s dogs were very annoying, especially the ‘black one. He also stated that the boy he saw in the wagon could not be Harry and the man could not be John Osborne ; also he had seen people cross the bridge often.

The next witness called was James Far- rel, who keeps the Waverley House since Osbornes’ arrest. He testified that he had moved the bedstead from the spare bed- room to Annie Parker’s room. (When the Jury visited the Waverley last Monday they found the bedstead that the cord was taken from in Annie Parker’s room, and to show the Jury how it came there this witness was called.)

Dr. Legere, of Shediac, was sworn, and testified to being in the Weldon House bar- room on the 12th of October, going in about 10 o’clock in the evening; drinking five times with McCarthy and leaving him and Chip. Smith there about half-past ten or a little later.

James E. Linkletter, Mcncton, sworn— He referred to a conversation which took place between him and Mrs. Osborne, when she told him the Moncton Times had been an injury to them in Shediac, and she asked if they could do anything with them sup- posing McCarthy’s body was found with the clothes, watch and money all on it, and he said no, and asked her where she thought he was, and she said she thought he had fallen over the bridge and was in the Scadouc. This was three days before their arrest.

To Mr. Palmer— Silas Rand offered to bet that there was not a word of truth in Annie Parker’s statement, and witness said he would bet there was, and that is all the bet there was. Witness says he did not talk to Osborne’s children about the case.

Andrew 8. Foster, policeman, of Monce- ton, was sworn, and gave account of the prisoners being in his custody, of conversa- tion with them, cautioning them not to say anything to him, and Miss Osborne agreed and spoke to Jehn aside.

Andrew S. Foster says that Mrs. Foster said that the statement of Annie Parker de- scribed the locality along the Scadouc river correctly, and what happened on the 12th October up to 10 o’clock was also correct. Mrs. Osborne also said that she and Eliza went to the Scadouc river on Sunday after- noon but saw no bushes where Annie Parker said they were. Eliza said, ‘‘Yes, mother, there are bushes between the field and the river.” Mrs. Osborne said Annie Parker must have seen the place. Eliza then spoke up ‘‘Mother, don’t you recollect Annie go- ing out ona Saturday afternoon to get a dress made, and perhaps she went up the river then.” Mr. Osborne also wondered how Annie Parker knew they had sent money to pay for the piano. Hada con-: versation with Mrs. Osborne afterwards, when she said that if Dr. Campbell had only some of her pluck they would get very lit- tle out of her. John Osborne said at the time that Dr. Campbell was arrested to pre- vent his giving evidence in their behalf, he being the best, they had us. He boarded at their house. Mrs. Osborne further said that if they will convict us there will be others convicted too. Witness then goes on to tell how he happened to find the rope. It was while walking in company with a Frenchman and another along the eastern bank of the Scadouc river last spring. Wit- ness says when found the rope had on one end a loop two inches in diameter. After looking at it we rolled it round a stone and threw it into a tree when the stone flew off taking with it the part having the loop and about a foot in addition. Around one of the knots witness saw what he thought had the color of blood.

Mr. Palmer cross-examines the witness who says he did not give evidence of the conversation with the Osbornes before at the Moncton investigation. He says he has no recollection of giving an opinion that the Osbornes murdered McCarthy. He never said to them that the Parker girl and Dr. Campbell did it. Mr. Palmer reads the testimony of witness at Shediac to show the difference in wording conversa- tions at that time and to-day. Witness says he gave the exact words as far as he could remember on both occassions.

Question— Did you not tell Mr. Hol- stead on the 15th of February, that Annie Parker told you she saw another man mur- dered ?

Answer.—I did not, ner to any body else that Iremember. Witness, with some hesitation, says that Annie Parker never to his recollection, told-him she saw another man murdered. Mr. Tuck proposes to re- call R. A. Walsh, who gave evidence on Saturday as it has turned up that he can give evidence of further conversatien with the prisoners, of which he at that time did not know.

Mr. Palmer objects very strenuously on the ground that it would be most danger- ous for his Honor to allow his discretion to

being off the stand for two or three days, to come forward now and swear to a further conversation.

His Honor in accordance with Mr
