A CERTIFICATE OF CHARACTER,

Sed

| To the Editor of the Examiner. :

Str:—We the undersigned electors of

| Head St. Peter's Bay, have noticed in the ‘Herald’ newspaper, severalarticles reflects | ing on the political character of one of our | representatives, W. W. Sullivan, Esq., re |

| garding the school question and other mat; | ters; and feel that we’ would not be doing justice to ourselves or to Mr. Sullivan, as our representative, were we to allow said attacks to pass uncontradicted. With re- | gard to the school question, all we under- stood Mr, Sullivan to say, was, that he was in favor ofa fair and equitable settlement of it and would support such amendments as we required in the education act when;

|

ever there was an opportunity of accom- plishing the same, We believe that he was, and is, sincere on the education ques, tion, and the vest proof of that is that he spoke in favor of it in his place in Parlias ment, when the editor of the ‘ Herald,’ who now reviles him, was silent on the question. With regard to the local inters ests of the district, we believe that Mr. Sullivan has attended to them better than any representative we ever had. By publishing this ia the next issue of the Examiner, you will oblige, Yours respectfully, Anthony McCormack, J.P., Richard Dwan, David Lewis, Michael Mclsaac, D. Mclsaac John McInnis, E. Drain, John Summers, John D. Melsaac, Angus McAulay, James McKay. —_—K—X—X—__ LATEST NEWS.

MISCELLANEOUS,

Scarlet fever in an unusually malignant form prevails in England.

France has a public debt of nearly $5,000, 000,000.

The Emperor of Germany has conferred the ciyillian order of merit upon Thomas Carlyle.

The Unitad States’ Public Debt has ins creased nearly eight and a half million dollars during the past month

It was related that when the Duc d’-~ Aumale was a boy his life was saved from drowning by Marshal Bazaine, who was at that time a sergant.

An English jury recently valued a curl from a lady’s head at seventy-five cents. It was burned off by a barbor, who useda curlingsiron which was too hot.

A despatch from Madrid says Castelar has published a letter in which he protested against the burial coup d’ efat proposed. He says he could not accept a position created by bayonets.

The Newburyport Heruld says:—* Quite a number of men are employed in this city in catching frogs for the Boston frog-eaters. One man has taken 1,000 and another 600 this season. They are kept in tubs and fatted with meal,and skinned to order.

The illness of Emperor William is said to have been much aggravated by the death of his sister.in-law, the queen dowager, and by a scandal which has brought about the Duke Mecklenburg’s retirement from the army.

California has about 8,000,000 head of sheep. The woel crop in two shearings,at an average of ten pounds per head, would amount to_80,000,000 pounds, or 15,000,000 more than the total product of the United States in 1871].

A young married lady is the sensation in social circles in England just now. She is a Hindoo, from Madras, who, although be- longing to a high caste, has ventured not only to cross the ocean, but also to mix freely in London Society,and toe conform genera!ly to the social customs of the country. Ac- companied by her husband she has visited the chief objects of interest in the metros polis and in several provincial cities. She | is the first Hindoo lady who has broken through the barriers of prejudice and caste | in order bo visit England.

The Indian Government is putting forth | stupendous efforts to be ready for the great famine that is certain to fall upon the Pre. sidency of Bengal. The rice crop is to a | large extent a failure, and the natives have no means to provide a substitute. It is possibie that rice may have io be imported from America and the West Indies, to meet the emergency. The British people are prepared to contribute with all their accus« tomed liberality to relieve their fellow sub jects in the East.

The weather in Ireland—It would seem that people make fortunes in Ireland nows adays. A few weeks ago, the personality of a Dublin merchant, who had recently purchased the Irish estate,of Lord Derby, in ‘Tipperary, for $160,000, was sworn under £300,000, and now that of another, Dr. Findlater, had been sworn under £350,~ 000! The fruth is that Ireland is gradually growing arich country and if every agitator could be ‘caught up and thrown into the Atlantic, would in another century realize the dream of making Ireland like Yorkshire.

Messrs. Cates Gares & Co, Dear Sirs—l am gcing to give you this testimonial of my appreciation of your most invaluable medi- cines, and the wonderful satisfaction that I have experienced from their use. I was troubled with liver complaint for a number of years, and by times was not able to work. In March 1872 was taken very sick, was thought by my friends to be going with con- sumption. I was very weak with a bad cough, pain in my lungs and left shouider, was un- able to turn in bed; tried everything that was recommended, but found no relief; anel hav- ing a catalogue of your medicines in my house, sent and got two bottles of your Bitters and Syrup, and used them; and am happy to say that | am hearty and well, through the use of the same. They also-have cured me dyspepsia, which by times troubled me much. 1 have also used your Eye Relief,and believe it to be the best preparation for weak eyes in use. No famiiy should be without your medicines; for by their use they will escape a vast amount of suffering. You are at liber- ty to make this public if you wish, for the benetit of suffering humanity.

Believe me, yours, truly, Davin Freeman. Sworn toat Kempt, October 3d, 1872,before me,

Notices of the Press.

The ever-increasir.g circulation of this ex- cellent monthly proves its continued adapta- tion to popular desires and needs. Indeed, when we think into how many homes it penetrates every mouth, we must consider it as oneof the educators as well as entertain~ ers of the public mind, for its vast populari- ty has been won by no appeal to stupid pre- judices or depraved .astes.—Boston Globe.

The character which this Magazine posses- ses for variety,enter; rise, artistic wealth, and literary culture that has kept pace with, if it has not led the times, should cause its con ductors to regard it with justifiable complac ency. I[talso entitles them to a great claim upon the public gratitude. The Magazine has done good and rot evil all the days of its
