! ’ 4 (LETTERS TO THE
‘The Scott Act in
EDITOR. King’s County. |
S1rr,—In your issue of the 7th is ud appeared a communication over the signature of Chas. W. Vaniderstine, in which he attempts to defend himself from the imputation of not having faithfully dis- {' charged his duty as inspector of Licenses for King’s County, under the Scott Act.
In the first place Mr. Vaniderstine in- formed the public that he has collected for license fees, in five months, an amount almost sutlicient to pay his yearly salary. He apparently thinks that because these fees were paid into the Tre: usury, he has a/} claim to the forbearance of the public, for not discharging the duties of his oftice. ‘The Canada Temperance e Act specifies * That the sa'e of intoxicating liquor Exolisnively for medicinal purposes, or for bona fide use in some art, trade or manufacture, shall be
1
lawful only by such druggists and other |
Vendors as m iy be there sto spec tially licensed
Lieutenant Governor ir. Council, and when a license is granted, the fee would be paid into the Treasury, therefore the Inspector is not entitled to any credit on that plea.
The Inspector thinks he has ne business to look after offenders unless information is laid before him. I beg to differ from him on that point. He must be aware that the law is repeatedly violated in certain local- ities, and it is evident that it is his duty to visit those placesand ascertain the truth of the matter—gather such information as may be necessary regarding the offenders, and then take such steps “as may be advisable to bring the miscreants to justice, and uphold the majesty of the law.
Mr. Vaniderstine wonders why he should be singled out as the only Inspector on the Island who is not giving satisfaction. Is he not aware that the Inspector for Prince County is doing effective work. It is therefore no wonder that a cry should b raised against the Inspector for King’s for not doing likewise.
The illict tratiic has flourished wonder- fully in Three Rivers during the past fall. Six or seven dens are in full blast at Montague Bridge, and the quantity sold during the past four months, is fully equal to that of any previous season. CGeorge- town and Cardigan are about as bad, the vendors in these places being among the transgressors.
This sanalarming state ofaffairs. Drank enness and rowdyism rampant, the youth of the land are becoming debauched, reeling along the roads, lying in gutters; making the night hideous with oaths and curses, and there appears to be no remedy at pres- ent but wait the pleasure of the Inspector.
It would be advisable for the Govern ment to dismiss the Inspector, and appoint another, one who has the cause of temper ance more at heart, than to remain five months in office without doing anything to enforce the law which is so continually violated.
I am not writing ina spirit of personal animosity against Mr. Vaniderstine ; but, by his own showing, he has done nothing for the causo of temperance, and I feel called on in the interests of morality and justice, to utter my protest against the manner in which the law has been broken since he became lnspector,
Yours truly, MECHANIC,

Suseqinipetpeniineey The Pilot Matter
Sirk,—In Toe Examiner of the 3ilst_ uit. appeared another ‘etter from ‘* Farmer’ in reference tothe buoy matter here, in which he shows a good deal of ill-mature; and as buoy contractor for this harbor—and, therefore, the responsible party—I_ trust you will grant me space m your next issue for a reply.
‘‘ Farmer,” in his first letter, says he was informed the buoys were out of place when the George Harold was stranded ; and in his last he asks the question ** Were the buoys in their proper places when the the George Harold went ashore?’ and then positively asserts they were not. This is a bold assertion, and no doubt intended for a clincher to his lying insinuations | in reference to the whole matter; but I now challenge him for the proof; and L bere as positively assert that they were in their proper places, and for proof of the truth of my assertion, I refer him to the . farmer who brought in the schooner Iris less than two hours. before the accident, and who de- elared, in the presence of several parties, that the buoys were all right; besides I my- self brought out two deep laden vessels the following morning, the first of which |] steered close by the buoys to the = south, and the other | brought out in a like man- ner to the north of them to test their posi- tions, and thereby proved them to be in their proper places.
‘*Farmer” also threatens an uvestigation. Let me tell him that I covet it, and nothing would give me mere pleasure than to have the whole matter investigated before the Agent of Marie or any other gentleman, but not such a one as *‘ Farmer” who is utterly devoid of all trust and honor.
‘Farmer’ tries to invoke the sympathy of the people of Georgetown and also of his

he understood his client was ready at this very moment to marry the young woman, and suggested that His Worship should tie the nuptial knot. His Worship said it did not lie in his power, so it was then suggested by the clerk of the court that Mr. MeKilop perform the interesting ceremony. At this point the prisoner in the dock sprang out and said, ‘Maggie ? She said, ‘‘Willie, I am ready to marry you.” Wilhe then put lis arms around Maggie's neck and sealed the bargain with a kiss.

A Snowball Batile by 20,000 Men.
In January, 1864, while Confederate troops were in winter quarters at Dalton, Ga., there came a big snowstorm, and 20, 000 soidiers engaged in a regular organized snowballing. The Georgia and South Caro lina troops took one side of a small stream and the Tennesseeans the other. The Ten nesseeans formed a line of battle, their blowing, colours flying and officers mounted. Every soldier had a knapsack full of snowballs. The Georgians formed and prepared to make
