A Peevitan Case.—Says the Halifax Herald: An able-bodied manis confined in jail for debt. Thedebt amounted originally te one dollar. The debt and costs now aggre- gate $3.50. The original debt was for school tax, and, rather than pay it, the follow lies in jail at the expense ofthe country. Solitary eonfinment would be much more effective than detention in the long room.

He died in the penitentiary and was quietly buried in potter's field, after serving tifty of his seventy-five years of life in a convicts cell.

President,

’. EL, Jannary 30, 1884. To day is one of the gems of winter; for The sun shines out and the air is clear and sharp Away out beyond the stretch of ice, the open water sparkles like a field of diamonds, its gentle murmur singing of spring, when the earth will receive the seed, and bud into new life: when nature's voice will soften the heart of the frozen ground, and bid it be ready for summer swtiles in feld and garden plot. When the mantle of white will have rolled away with its storms and chills, and emerald gems giisten everywhere. Then old ocean itself will burst through the icy coldness, which a feud between itself and the shore, and greet us with the warmth of an

Diptheria is working its ravages at Bear River,arid death is doing his work. Medical skill, in the hands of Dr. McLean, is sutc- cessfully fighting the epidemic. Several

cases are reported and four or five deaths,

among the younger members of the com- munity. It is a terrible and a fatal disease, and here, as everywhere it visits, it carries with it sorrow aud desolation, making strong men weep and wringing mothers’ hearts. Everyone with a heart will feel for and sympathize with those .so se verely afflicted.

The sensation of the hour is the appoint- ments of Chief and Sub-Inspector under License Law. As your readers

and Mr.

the new are aware, Mr. John McKinnon Audrew hi voney are the ¢ fiicers referred to, Your correspondent happens to be ‘person- ally acquainted with both gentlemen, and has nothing whatever to do with their appointment or otherwise. At the same time the appointments have caused com- ments anything but temperate, and given correspondence anything but mild. [ft seems as if the whele fuss is hard'y worth a bottle of smoke, and to say the least of it, the personal attacks upon Mr. McKin- non are somewhat unmeanly, Your corres pondent thoroughly sympathizes with the temperance movement, and feals it to be his duty in every way, personally and

otherwise; to advance the cause.’: It is a shame to be intemperate; something lower

than a brute. But it strikes me that there is a manly and open way of advocating temperance, by which we can avoid bitter personalities and a spirit of vindictiveness which smells something like a cut-throat policy. It is all very well for the Alliance to pass resolutions; that is something open and above board, whether mistaken or otherwise. That resvlution has been met in the colamns of THe Examiner, signed, over his own name, by John Mc- Kinnon, in a manner which does him credit. This policy of condemning a man upon his acceptance of a new position, and before he has had any fair trialin that posi- tion, is unmanly in the extreme, and looks more like the work of a sneak and a coward than that of a true-hearted temperance man. I refer here, not to the resolution of the Alliance, but to certain correspond- ence which has appeared. There is a class of rumsellers in existence who will always greet you, hail fellow well met, you may go in aud out among them, get “‘as drunk asa lord,” and knock the ten command- ments ‘‘higher than a kite,” but so long as vou fill their c: ffers, little or no fault will be found; you will be ‘‘a good fellow, only a little too fond of the drop; one of the best fellows ever was, only a little fo lish for yourself,’ ete. ; but let tliat ‘‘good fellow” see the error of his ways, and become a total abstainer, and oppose the liquor traffic, and he becomes suddenly transformed into something terri-

bly bad,. and ¢he charity that covers a

multitude of sins is all lost through empty tumblers. Such’ is the policy of men who support intemperance, but temperance hen should look to what you are, not te what you were. What of it, if Mr. McKinnon was all and everything which ‘‘An Elector’ and others have called him, he is now Chief Inspector, sworn to faithfully dis’ harge certain duties. I, for one, telieve that those duties will be performed faithfully

and unflinchingly. Mr, McKinnon may not be a total abstainer—and 4 hope

earnestly he will be—but his reputation is that of aman who, when he undertakes a duty, performs it like @ man; and it is to be earnestly hoped that total abstainery from intoxicating liquors, will also abstain from flinging attacks upon bim, which may

amper him and injure eat dalien Give him achance. It will not be long uatil the general public, as well as tewperance men, will be able to
