Mr. Loughran was born in the County Monaghan, Ireland, in the year 1821; aod came from Manchester, Eagland, to Canada when he was twenty years of age. He resided for two years in the County of Richmond, Quebec, and eame to this Island in 1843. He was married in 1848 tothe eldest daughter of the late Hov. Francis Kelly, of Fort Auguatus. His wife and seven sons and daughters now mourn their great loss. When first he came to this Island, Mr. Loughran settled io Mill View, Lot 49; but after afew years he removed to Orwell, where he, at one time, did a large produce and mereaatile business.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

askin |

My Dear Siax,—I observe in your paper | a letter from the Rev. Mr. Frame, with an) account of his j »urney and voyage to Ber- muda. He and I met at Truro, I being on

his way to ‘the Land of the South,” where- in the happy inhabitants and visitors can,

Enliven their palates, their eyes, and their noses, With oranges, gooseberries, lilies and roses.

1 very much wished that I were ina position to accompany Mr. Frame, instead of returning to spend such a winter aa this city affords; but no such good fortune can befal him whose property is invested prin- cipally in mortgages here.

In departing from Traro, without hesitation,

I say we departed from civilization.

Our Pictou adventures were **Weil?” some- what queer,

Instead of describing, I'll just say: ‘Oh! dear |”

To remain for the night, we soon gave up all notion,

And walked, right away, to the shore of the Ocean,

To Aurora Borealis we went for our beds,

For warmth and for rest to our bodies and heads.

Next morning the sun brought a beautiful day,

As pleasant as any in June or in May.

| From Truro the train came along at full trot,

And then our Aurora steamed off like a shot;

Quite warm was the air, and quite pleasant

thize with his family, bis many friends, |

and the community iu the loss which, by his death, they have sustained.

—Very great disappointmeot was felt last evening, throughout the town, in cousequence of the non-arrival of the “Northern Light.” The weather fine: there was no ice worth speaking about—no apparent reason whatever for not making a round trip. Moreover there was no public notice given that she would stay at Pictou over night. officials of the Post Office fully expected the mails as usual. Tue Examiner reporter was informed that she would be at Georgetown at the usual hour ; and made the information public. When it was found that, without a word of intima- tion, and for no earthly reason that could be discovered or divined, steamer was held at Pictou all night, the

was

surprise and annoyance of our citizens)

may be imagined. Certainly there ought to be a very prompt and clear explava- tion of this glaring lapse of duty. cannot afford to let the “Northern Light” and her officers and men take their ease in port, upreproved, while the public re- quirements are unfulfilled. The public demand no unreasonable service. When the weather is stormy,they do not com- plain if communication with the main- land is not regulaaly kept up. But when the weather is fine they expect a ronod trip to be made to and from Pictou each day. This can and must be done,—or we must know the reason why. If we cannot have ‘continuous communication” we ought at least to have communication as often as possible.

Success in Business. (Winnipeg Commercial.)

There is no doubt but that the specula- tive mania which has swept over the land during the past two or three years has had the effect uf somewhat discrediting in the minds of many the old fashioned methods of thrift and slow accumulation, by which our forefathers amassed their fortunes. | No place under the sun ever suffered | more from this curse than Manitoba, and | especially Winnipeg. An idea was allowed ) to take root in the minds of many that | the qualities which were formerly deemed essential for acccess in business, have been superseded by others more in keeping with the fast age in which we live. Some fortunate individuals have by speculation within a comparatively brief period raised themselves from poverty and obscurity to wealth and fame, and itis not surprising that their example should have an influence on weak heman nature, and iead many to believe in the existence of ashort and easy road to fortene. But this class of people seem never to stop and consider the whole question. If they would look back upon the history of the past they would soon find out that in the speculative arena that has been a termble record of wrecks as compared with what have been successful.

The only reliable basis on which to conduct business is the old one of prudence and economy. These are

essentials to prosperity, and can never be dispensed with. There is nothing in the present condition of trade or mercantile affairs to warrant a departure from the old standard principles adopted through the past; and those who follow them out the more carefully will as a rule be the best off in the long run. Careful, oconomical | management is sure to bring success, and will always be found to be, in the long | run, the best policy to pursue. ~~.

disgrace of dictation from rumsellers, and fasten upon itself licensed destruction in the shape of whiskey taverns. Surely there are enough men and women of christian and temperance char- acter in our sister county to ren- der such a disaster impossible. Temperance men of Prince County be up and doing! Your clergymen of every de- nomination, and acknowledged leaders, will surely point you to victory, Teach the rum dealers and drunkards of the County that respectable people can do without them, and want no places among them to be reeking dens of infamy, where men can be robbed of character, health, wealth, home, natural affection and immortal happiness, and receive only strong drink in return for all. Yes, ‘‘be up and doing,’ fight the enemy to the bitter end, watch closely the polling, for it surely cannot be that Prince County has become so utterly degraded as to furnish a sufficient number of voters so disreputable and lost to every sense of sober reason that they would turn round and vote for the repeal of an Act whose object is the moral, religious and eternal welfare of the people. Upon the decision of the election, hangs the character

of Prince County. Which shall it be; that Prince County is in favor of temperance, prosperity, law and order,

or in favor of rumshops and intemperance, with all their attendant evils? It mast be either the one thing or the other. In all seriousness the writer prays God grant that our Island may be spared the disgrace of having a country which would vote in favor of drink, drink-selling and drunkenness; for that is just what a repeal of the Scots Act amounts to.

years.

Report says that Souris Methodists are about building a new parsonage. They have a neat little chnrch there, plain enough on the outside, but quite comfortable inside. Their present clergyman is one who takes deep interest in every good work. He is beloved by his people as a christian pastor, and among his other public duties he takes a firm christian stand on the side of temperance.

The Rev. Dr. McDonald, V. G., George- town, has been out among his old friends of East Point. A new bell has been con- secrated for the use of the East Point Catholic Church.

Christmas passed off pleasantly and quietly in Souris, Midnight Mass was held in St. Mary's Charch, and two morn- ing masses. The altars were tastefully decorated. The weather had been stormy, making bad roads blocked a good deal with snow, causing the congregations to be not very large. Lam informed that the Rev. D. F. McDonald, P. P., preached an earnest and impressive sermon upen the

words, ‘‘Peace onearth to men of good will.” Service was also held in the Methodist Church. Outside, sobriety

seemed to be the order of the day. Rev. J. G. Cameron had service also at Grand River.

The petition for a Branch Railway from Harmony to Elmira—already noticed in other Souris correspondence— was forwarded to the proper quarter. Our old representa- tive; Dr. Muttart, had charge of it, and received the following reply a few days ago :—

DEPARTMENT OF RAILWAYS AND CANALS,

Orrawa, Dee. 21st, 1883,

Sin,—I am directed to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 7th inst. enclosing a petition from the inhabitants of Lots 45, 46 and 47, asking for railway extension from Harmony to Elmira.

I am, Sir, Your Obedient Servant, A. P. Bravpuey, Secretary. E. B. Muttart, Esq., M. D., Souris, P. FB. Island.

Certainly the above reply does not go any further than to acknowledge receipt of petition, bit I think we may safely say that there will yet be a Branch, or an extension, from Souris, I noticed some time ago that Tue Examiner advocated ‘‘ Souris exten- sion,” instead of a Branch from Harmony, and that your regular Souris correspondent expressed public sentiment ia the same direction. There can be no mistake about it; a line extending from Souris would be preferable to a Branch from Harmony, but I suppose, when the time comes, we must take the best we can get. It is a pleasure to see that Dr. Muttart still takes an inter- est in such public matters, and we hope that he will yet occupy his proper position as our Parliamentary representative.

So the people of Prince County are to have anotherelection anent the Scott Act.
