Ocr telegraphic despatches to-day announce that the Ontario Liquor License Act has beea disailowed by the Governor-tieneral, It will be remembered that the Ontario Goveroment unler.ook to legislate on the Liquor Traffic, wt .a the Dominion Government contended was entirely within the legislative control of the Dominion Parliament. ‘The result is that the Act passed by the Ontario Assembly has been disallowed by the Governor-General.

Tue passenger travel on the Long Island Sound steamb»at lines steadily increases de- spite the shorter time used by railway in get- ting from New York to Boston. It is rumored that the Fall River Line intend building a still lerger steamboat than any yet used. The new boat is to be used for carrying passengers only, al) freight being seat by other boats, This division of traffic will, no doubt, be profitable in the end, as there is enough business of both kinds to war- rant it.

Tue by-law in reference to cattle, swine and goats has been suspended in Summerside until the L0th inst., aed the Journal most emphati- cally expresses its dissent from the action of the Town Council in allowing animals to roam about Summerside, at their own sweet will, until that ,time The other day, going to dinner, the editor s1ys, we encountered a convention of cows occupy- ing a portion of one of our principal streets, and we counted ten in the herd. These wander- ing cattle do great damage in gardens arid lawos, where they come in and destroy orna- mental trees and root up grass plots; and where a law exists against their roaming at large, the Town Council or no 6ther authority has the power of suspending its operation.§

Ose Hunprep axp Nine.—A Western correspondent of the Summerside Journal writes as follows regarding a centenarian, living near West Puint:—t ealled npon old Mrs. Graham the other day. ‘he resides with her daughter, Mrs. Vincent, and I * had the pleasure of some conversation with the venerable lady. She looks, as she is, very old and small, and is confined to her bed all the time; although hard of hearing she can be conversed with without difficulty, and she can see to reid. Her memory is very good; she can talk about past events and relate circumstances that happened 108 years ago, and can tell anything in connec- tion with them. I asked her to recite something, and she repeated, very distinct- ly, two pieces that she had Icarned at school when seven years old, It would interest anyone to hear her talking of old times from 80 to 100 years ago; she will be | 109 years of age on 2nd July next.

Seunn —lt was an admirable paper on “Sound,” which Mr. W.” A.” Weeks, law student, read ou Tuesday evening last before the Literary ‘and Scientifie Society. Mr. Weeks pluckily attacked a subject, which those who are alive to the sensation, mignt pronounce ‘‘dry,” the principal points of which were difficult to demonstrate for want of proper appliances or app»ratus. He showed that he had given the matter much close study and had grasped the theories of the science well. His illustrations on paper and his clear descriptions and general explanations, couvey- ed to those present much curious information respecting sound and its phenomena, — Dr. Leeming followed ‘with an interesting dis course én the prindiples of seund, and gave} some practical iliustrations t9 prove the points made. Mr. John Newson made a somewhat impassioned reply to the p»per an‘ Dr. Leeming, denying some of the propositions of writ rsom the subject of sound, which called forth a diseassion of considershle warmth. | M-.
