The Poor House Doctors.

ee

Ix view of the fact that the official infor- mation given by the Opposition press i8 senevally lacking in ‘‘the essential,” the public will be surprised to learn that the Patriot's report respecting the Poor House dectors is correct. ‘The Government have displaced Dr. Beer and appointed Dr. Creamer. For some months after the late Government was in power, their whele duty seemed to be summed up in the words ‘‘ dismiss” and “appoint.” Mr. Hughes and dozens of other compet- ent officials summarily dismissed ‘‘ without cause.” And the Patriot ap- proved. The Patriot also approved of the summary dismissal, ‘‘ without cause,” of Dr. Jenkins from the pesition of quarantine officer, after he had been many years in office. It does not, therefore, lie with the Patriot now to disapprove of the dismissal of Dr. Beer.

In this Island dismissals have always been made for reasons political. When the late composite Government was formed, no effort was made to do away with the in- jurious system. A good opportunity was thrown away by the men who might easily have instituted so desirable a reform. In view of this fact, it is not wonderful that the present Administration, pressed on all sides for office by those who supported it, have yielded just a little te the pressure. They might, we think, have yielded more than they have done, and still not have greatly hurt the feelings of a large majority ef their supporters. It must be re- membered that the people have not yet given an expression of opinion in faver of retaining officials on _ their personal merits; and the Government do not know that the Province wishes them to do so. For ourselves, we own to a very strong liking for the English system. We think it best for the country, best for the party, and best for the seekers after office. But that system is not yet established on this Island; and we cannet blame the Gov- ernment for not adopting it without a dis- tinct expression of opinion in its favor by a majority of the people.

—

Ir is quite certain that an overwhelming majority of those present at the Market

Hall on Saturday evening were highly pleased with the rendition of “The Lady of Lyons,” by W. F. Burroughs and Mr. Nannery’s Co. The fair “‘Pauline” was well

represented by Miss Phosa McAllister. She was good as the affected rank-smitten young lady ; good as the enraptured bride ; splendid in her rage and disdain when she discovered the fraud which had heen practiced upen her, and very good as the loving aud true woman subdued by her own sorrows and the misfortunes of her father. Mr. Burroughs, as ‘‘Claude Mel- notte,” acted the part of that consummate actor with success. For ourselves, we should like Mr. Burroughs better if artificiality were not «uite so prominent a feature of his

acting. Shakespeare’s advice to the play- ers is the test by which we judge actors. But Mr. Burroughs is not,

apparently, of the Shakesperean school. We are free te admit that this is a matter of taste; and it was abundantly evident that Mr. Burroughs succeeded in pleasing— which was the great point to be gained. ‘The part of ‘ Col. Dumas” was well taken by Mr. E. B. Holmes, and the other parts of the fine play were well sus- tained.

The company labor under great disadvantages while acting in Charlotte- town. But their merits, generally, are auch that they well deserve large audiences while they remain among us. To-night the ‘* Ticket-of-leave Man” will be played; and, to-morrow night, ‘Our Poys” will be put upon the board.

THE ESCAPE.

DONNOLLY'S ARREST, SENTENCE, AND BSCAPE —HE IS ON HIS FLIGHT WEST.

An event, almost tragic in its character and results, occurred in this city on Satur- day. Some months ago’a young man who had served several terms ef apprenticeship in the stone breaking department of a well-

/knewn Government institution, resolved to 'spend his vacation in the country. He

wished to fly the busy haunts of men and to seek, in some sequestered retreat, the soothing blessings of repose. Taking up his abode at the residence of a respectable farmer, he passed the early part of the winter in comparative EASE AND RETIREMENT.

His pay was small, but his labor was light. He chopped the wood, watered the cows, waited on the swine, and,in short, perform- ed all the menial services of a farmer's masculine domestic. In return, he receiv- ed abundance of substantial fare, which his protracted periods of penetential seclusion rendered necessary to recuperate his jaded anatomy. At times, however, a feeling of loneliness overcame him; his duties, though simple, became irkseme; he had little taste for rural felicity, and little sympathy with the idyllic simplicity of the unsophisticated grangers. He longed to return te the

‘free and easy society of his former asso-

ciates, and he sighed for a resteration to the

ROLLICKING RECREATIONS OF ‘°° HELL STREET.” With him to determine was to act. The

journey was long, but his resources were equal to the occasion. To promote his comfort and facilitate his locomotien, he provided himself with a horse from a neighbouring stable; and, to avoid unnecessary disturbance, he quietly extracted the animal from its couch, whilst its ewner was paying his devotions at the shrine of his favorite Morpheus. The horse was well found in all respects, except his legs, and there he was well foundered. He had bone spavin in one joint and blood spavin in another, with an occasional ad- mixture of ringbone,—having passed beyond the stages of

GALLOPING CONSUMPTION ;

and during the chief part of his existence he had labored under a chronic attack of general debility. These physical mfirmi- ties, however, proved of great service to the rightful proprietor since they afforded unmistakeable signs of recognition, as the sequel proved. Having thus provided him- self with a steed, and appropriating a ceuple of well-conditiened geese which had been recently decapitated by the same accom- modating neighbor, he mounted the animal and proceeded at a dignified and becoming pace to the metropolis. It was

THE SABBATH MOKNING.

No impertinent traveller inquired into his business or interrupted his journey, fora wayfaring man, though a feol, might know that he was en his way tothe city, and bound to have a good time. Arriving at the suburbs he carefully ensconced the nag in the well filled barn of a popular ex- alderman and set out to reconnoitre on foot. The stery is soon told. The owner missed the animal and hurried in pursuit. The culprit was arrested, brought before a jus- tice, sent up for trial, finally convicted, and on Saturday last he was sentenced to

TWO YEARS IN THE PENITENTIARY.

He submitted to his fate with becoming re- signation, and listened te the solemn words of the Judge with stoical composure. He yielded himself without a murmur to the myrmidens of the law, and, escerted by two of the executive officers of the Court, he started for the prison. ‘The procession was imposing. Before him marched the

IRREPRESSIBLE JOHNNY MALONEY,

bearing in his hand the insignia of his eftice, and in his eye a look of settled de- termination. Behind him stalked the worthy Deputy Sheriff, ponderous in his immensity and lengthy of stride. Soon they appreached the dismal abode ef the condemned. But here the love of liberty and an impatience of restraint fired the heart of the prisener.

HE RESOLVED TO BE FREE.

He could not—nay, he would not—submit to further encroachments on his individual independence. He gazed for a moment on the insignificant proportions of the front rank and the unwieldy incumbrance on his rear. He uttered a shert but fervent ejaculation, and gathered himself up for a grand effort. § A VIGOROUS PUSH SENT JOA@NNY

into a state of bewilderment, from which he has not yet recovered ; and a sudden trip placed the excellent and confiding Deputy hors de combat. The latter is now struggling with a few sprained ankles ; but no injury ac- crued to either Johnny or the sidewalk. The prisoner obeyed the injunction of Horace Greeley and went West.

Cuear [nsurance.—A subscriber at Nap- anee in remitting says :—‘‘ I insured my house in the Canada Agricultural Insurance Co. They burst, and 1 lost two years on one and’ three months on another policy. I then in- sured in the Ottawa Agricultural, and I un- derstand now they have also reinsured their policies with the Watertown Agricultural In. surance Co, Can you inform me in your next issue if] am insured or not? I really don’t know, and there are others in this section who are equally ignorant. Please inform us, and oblige yours.”’-— Monetary Times.

_ The above shows the absurdity of insuring in weak Canadian Companies, which secure most of their business by cutting rates. Pro- perty holders might as_ well save their money as to accept cheap insurance, without. being guaranteed perfect security in the event of loss, This can be had, beyond doubt, by taking out a policy in the LwreriaAL Fire In- SURANCE Co., of London, which insures at

moderate rates.

Telegraph and Signal Service.

The important, advantageous scheme of Dr. Fortin—adopted by the Government last session—for connecting this island and all the other Islands of the € iulf, with existing lines of telegraph, is, we learn, be-

ing pushed forward with commendable energy. One contract has already been

let, and tenders are to be sent to Ottawa before the 15th instant for the construc- tion ef a submarine cable to Anticosti, and another from the Magdalen Islands to this Island, so that, in a very short time, we may expect to see the whole werk under contract. The ‘Toronto ‘‘Mail” says:—‘ It is to be hoped that the benefits te be derived from this work will be -fully recognized. Too often in the past have we had to re- cord wrecks and disasters which have oc- curred on these islands, and loss of life which might have been prevented had it been possible to summon aid at once. | Now that our system of weather prediction 1s improving so rapidly, vessels passing through the Gulf can be warned from these islands to seek shelter, whenever it is ex- pected that a storm will occur. The Gov- ernment is to be congratulated on having secured the services of Mr. F. N. Gisborne as superintendent of the telegraph and sig- nal service (which, by the way, must not be confounded with the storm signal sér- vice), and we have no doubt they appreciate the energy displayed by him in advancing this scheme. ” —~— eo ~

Mr. Wittram Henperson will, to-morrow, commence the erection of a rustic pavilion on Victoria Park, for the use of the Pheenix Cricket Club, as well as the public. © Judging from a plan of the pavilion—which we were shown to-day—we must say that it will be not only a credit to the club, but an oraament to the Park and an advantage and pleasure te citizens generally. The building will be thirty-six feet long by twenty-six -and a half feet broad, and will contain three rooms, viz: a refreshment room, a club- room, and a baggage room. On the south-east side, adjoining the building will be construct- ed a grand stand with seating capacity for over two hundred persons. The pavilion will be erected on the West Side of the field now used by the club. It will be completed on or about the first of August. The funds for its erection hasbeen raised by subscription of members of the Club. Any person wishing to assist, financially, in the work, will pass in their respective amounts to the energetic Secretary, Mr. John Yeo, jr.

- —a; Died. At Charlottetown, on the 3rd inst., after a month’s illness, of fever, Captain Samuel Murdoch McDonald, in the 32nd year of his age. In religion he was a Presbyterian ; and, before he was nineteen, brought a ship across the Atlantic to London. He was a dutiful son, a kind husband, a good neighbor and a quiet citizen. The deceased was son of Capt. Donald (Hector) McDonald and Flora Murchi- son, of Point Prim, where he was born, and the grandson of Hector McDonald, who came to the Island in 1802 with Earl Selkirk. He took ill in Boston ; on his way back he reached Hawkesbury, where he was, for ten days, under the attentive treatment and care of Dr. Visset, and was brought home in his bed, only to live a few days. We sympathise with his bereaved relatives and triends.

Ch’town, July 11, 1879—

To M. A. CAMERON:

Srr,—I have heard, on good authority, tnat you told several persons that you had refused to renew the Insurance “on my Dwelling House, which expired on the 10th inst., and also that you were heard to make hase insinu- ations against my character, and even went so far as to refer people, for proof of your state ments, to a certain gentlemen whom it is un- necessary to name,

Now, Sir, 1 here state, most emphatically, that you tried all that lay in your power to induce me to insure in your office, and when you failed, you took the mean, contemptible, and unmanly course of casting slurs upon my character behind my back, without having the slightest foundation in fact for such slurs, save that which originated in your own disord- ered imagination,

1 now demand, in public print, within three days from this date, a retraction of slander. Otherwise I will make you answer, in a Court of Justice, for your slanderous conduct.

JAMES LAFFERTY.

P. S.— You also stated that I (to use your own expression) planked down the amount of the renewal premium on your desk, and that you refused to accept it. This, also, is a deliberate lie. J. L.
