“Davies Crushing Reply to Ferguson,” is still “‘te be continued” in the columns of our contemporary the Patriot. It is the same old ‘‘tale of woe” that has done duty in other elections, and is harmless. In the meantime Mr. Welsh’s sailor ‘‘yarn” is being prepared for the press.

Awame called “ gossip” is played in New York with carte de visite photographs. You shuffle and deal them out, and then everyone in the party tells overything mean that can be thought of about the persons repre- ented in the photographs. It makes the play as lively and interesting as a sewing circle.

A corresronpEeNnt at Summerside writes:— “Since the weather has cleared up and roads become good, business has very much im- proved. The town has daily a large number of country people in, both by rail and sleighs. The town people themselves are making the most of the fine weather in sleigh drives, sn0w-shoe tramps, tobogganing, etc. The ice rink is well patronized, last night being the best of the season; there was Over one hundred skaters on the ice, enlivened by good music from the band. Preparations are being made on an extensive scale for a grand carnival, to be held in the rink on the second week in February. It is expected that this will be the most’ picturesque and pleasing turnout of the kind ever held on the Island.”

CHATHAM, Jan. 22.

Snowball and Mitehell have completed the bargain they have been dickering over

for some time, and signed articles. The Liberal Association was called last night, when the trade was concluded, and Sprowboll tendered his

resignation and nominated Mitchell. One gentleman told him plainly what he thought of his double-dealing, and Burchill, in a moderate speech, gave the meeting to undefstand that, failing Snowball, he had expected the nomination. Mitchell made a speech, promising everything that was required of him, and was nominated. The (lisgusted gathering, every man of w*om has been denouncing Mitchell for years, retired in silence, and look ashamed of themselves to-day.

“@rocodile Tears.” Sir,—-The Patriot tells its readers ~ that Mr. Wm. Campbell shed ‘* Crocodile tears” of sympathy for Dr. Jenkins. We would like the Patriot, under its new manage- ment, since Mr, Laird has been driven by party necessities from its sanctum, to tell what kind of ‘‘tears” does Mr. Wm. Welsh shed for David Laird. If the Patriot wants anything more ‘‘farcial’” or more humilia- ting than the banishment of Mr. Laird from the ranks of his party in this Pro- vinee to seek refuge on the banks of the Saskatchewan, we think he will seek in vain for a case in point. Poor David Laird, sent to sing Grit songs in a strange land, after his Jong and weary services performed in the interests of his party here, and Mr. Wm. Welsh, owing to party necessities, taken in preference to the Hon. David Laird. What a commentary upon party ex- igencies !
