A CORRESPONDENT in last night’s Ex- AMLNER says he supposes the Loeal Gevern- ment and the public are aware that a fire- man is ranning the steamer H/fn on the Southport ferry. This is calculated to mis- lead’ the public as to the facts of the case,

which are as follows:—The regular engineer |

of the Elin, having been contined to his house by illness forthe past few days, a competent man who, although he did not . held an engineer’s certificate, has had con- siderable experience in running steamboats, was granted a temporary certificate to en- able him to run the Hifim until the regular engineer recovers from his illness. — Pa.

Enacann anp CatHonicism. —- We are well pleased that England has come otf with the lion’s share, Russia is tyrannized over by an autocrat who would desire nothing better than to see the Catholic Church ex- _. terminated; Austria is governed by infidel

no where is the Catholic Church freer to day than in England and her dependencies, and hence itis that we are satisfied with the result of the Berlin Cougress, by which the fifteen Turkish pro- vinces of Asia are placed under her protec- . tion and she eontrols more firmly than ever great highways to the East.-—Cutholic Tele-

If information obtaimed- by respectable New York journals can be relied upon, the Communists of Pennsylvania in concert with those of other Middle States and some Western ones, have selected the 15th of August for.a grand strike on the railways, at the mines and in the various factories and workshops throughout the region in which they are supposed to be powerful. With the strike, the stoppage of the railway tratlic and of manufacturing labor generally, a reign of terror is, it_is said, to be inaugu- " yated, and a reorganization of society on the Socialists or Communist pattern is to be attempted. It is reported that the fifteenth _ of June.was first selected for the mtroduc- tion of the new era; but that the ample pre- paration made hy the Governor of Pennsyl- Vania to stamp out the movement at its very

commencement in that State, disconcerted

the plans of the would-be regenerators of the world on this side of the Atlantic. It may be assumed that the conspirators against society as it is, will find themselves as the fifteenth of August draws near con- fronted by preparations equally as cflective and disappointing as before.

A New Enrerprise.—Newsery’s Fisu Vans.—Mr. E. C. Newbery has commenced a fresh and smoked fish business on Hen derson’s wharf, south of the Gas Works, on an improved style. Most of our citizens were notified by circulars of his project, which met with sufficient approval to war- rant his going on with it, and his arrange- ments are nearly completed. On the south side of the wharf he has his fresh fish mar-

» ‘ket fitted up with connters, freezers and.

refrigerators. On the north side are two smoke houses,packing and fish-curing sheds. He has built refrigerators on wheels to de- - liver all fish in its season atthe houses fresh and firm, and wants to educate the public to buy by the pound—his men cutting it ‘and splitting it as required. This is a vast eee on having to go to the market then having to pay some one to carry

it home, and no doubt many people will eat fish Oftener than heretofore, now that they can buy it cheaply and fresh at the door, Mr. Newbery has two Scotch fish curers, who turn out delicious finnen haddies, &e., which are sold very reasonably. Families not already subscribers can be accommo- dated by notifying the vans or addressing Mr. N., whose enterprise deserves the

patronage of our citizens.— Hr, Chronicle,

THis morning a resident of Malpeque Road left information at the Police Station to the effect that a woman. was lying sick and ina very destitute condition at the English Burying Ground. The City Mar- shal despatched a policemen to accompany Dr. Taylor to the place; and, on their arrival, they found that the woman was re- moved toa house in the vicinity. Near the place she was reported lying sick, they found a new-born child lying dead. The doctor examined the infant, and found that it was still-born. He also visited the woman, and found her comfortably provid- ed for by Mr. Richard Williams. Her name is Flora McNeill. She belongs to George- town Road. The child was buried by the Police in the English Burying Ground.

Tur Lingard’s excellent Dramatic Com- pany made their first appearance in the Market Hall last evening. The perform- ance commenced with a delightiul one-act comedy entitled ‘‘Delicate Ground.” It is idle to remark that the characters in this drama sustained their parts admirably. At different junetures they elicited loud ap- plause. A gentleman was heard to remark at the close, that if “Delicate Ground” was reproduced, he would strongly urge all the young married men of the city to at- tend in company with their wives. The

tions cannot be excelled. Mr. Lingard ap- peared severally impersonating as Napoleon, the Czar, Wilhelm of Prussia, Presidents Hayes and Grant, the Sultan of Turkey, Henry Ward Beecher, and the Prince of Wales. On each appearance he was greeted with applause. The entertainment closed with a comedy entitled ‘‘Naval Engage- ments,” in which Mr. Lingard did ample justice to the character of *‘Admiral Key- stone.” We can say, without the least doubt, that the entertainment of last night was the best ever given in this city. The Lingards appear again to-night, and as the price of admission has been lowered to fifty and twenty-five cents, the hall will be un- doubtedly overcrowded.

Takine Fruncn Leave.—Fairville boasts of its local excitement in the shape of an es- eapade by one of its business men, Mr. B., a member of a firm of boot andshoe makers. The gossip of the place says that on Sunday night last, at nine o’clock, as_ the special train with Murray’s circus was leaving the station, Mr. B. boarded the train, since which time he has not been seen by any of his friends. A letter which he left behind him, addressed to his partner, announced his intention of ‘* clearing out,” and telling the partner to do the best he could with the creditors. While on some point on the Time this side of Portland, Me., he address- ed another letter to his partner, stating that he would pay all the debts he owed, if he was ever able, and saying that he was bound for Red River. The objectionable feature about Mr. b’s departure is that he borrowed all the money he eould secure, in sums from $10 te $80, from his neighbors, besides owing other accounts. His liabilities will amount to about $500, all owed around Eairville. About a month ago his wife went to P. E. Island taking her three chil- dren with her. At 12 o’cloeck on Sunday night, Mr. B’s. brother-in-law took the fur- niture out of the house, sending it to Mrs, 3. The people of Fairville exhibit much feeling over the matter, and not without good reason.

GENTLEMEN, —- Having been requested by the electors of Ward Number 2, to put myself in nomination as a candidate for said Ward, in deference to their wishes | have consented to become such candidate. | am, therefore, gentlemen, a candidate for your saffrages for said Ward at the approaching Civie Election, on the sixth day of August next. If elected, as I reasonably presume I| shall, while I shall advocate economy and retrenchment in finan- cial matters, the vital «question: of municipal taxation shall have my special care and atten- tion, for I believe it to be our imperative duty to stay the appalling increase of the tax roll; consequent upon the reckless expenditure of the revenue by those now controlling our Civic atlairs.

As I am doing business and living in Ward 5, | have a knowledge of the wants of the Ward,

From a close observation of Civic affairs, 1 have come to the conclusion that retrenchment and reform are necessary, and if eleeted will do my utmost to carry out the wishes of elect- ors in this respect.

As the time of canvassing is short, it will be impossible for me to visit all the electors of the Ward, but I feel certain that all who are in favor of curtailing the City expenditure will give me their hearty support.

(Passed by the City Council 19th July, 1878.)

7] HEREAS, it is necessary and expedient

ing an Assessment on the rental of Freehold

and Leasehold Property in the City of Char-

lottetown. for City and School purposes, for

the current year ending on the twenty sixth

day of May, in the year of our Lord one thou- sand eight hundred and seventy nine,—

Be it therefore enacted by the City Council of the City of Charlottetown as follows :—

- 1. There shall be paid by the occupants or owners (of Freehold or Leasehold Property within the City of Charlottetown, for City and School purposes, the following sum, that is to say, the sum of Twelve Cents on every Dollar of the rental for the current year ending on the twenty-sixth day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred seventy. nine, according to the valuations entered against the names of each and every — in the Valuation Book of Real roperty made by the Assessors of of the City of Charlottetown, and returned by the said Assessors to the said City Council on the twelfth day of July, in the year of Our Lord One Thousand Eight Hundred and Seventy-eight.

SYDNEY COAL.

:0;-

REDUCTION IN PRICE!

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC!

fEXHE GENERAL MINING ASSOCLIA-

TION (Limited) beg to intimate to the Public that the price of SYDNEY COAL has been

L. 8.

Reduced to $2 per ton of 2240 ibs.,

a price which it is hoped will place it within the reach of all consumers.

The opening of the new winning at “ THE SYDNEY MINES” and the fact that the SYDNEY COAL now being shipped is ail from the DEEP taken in connection with re cent improvements in the process of screening, affords purchaseis a positive guarantee of the very superior quality and condition of the SYDNEY COAL now offered for sale.

It is a well-know fact that for many years past the prices of other Cape Breton coals have been regulated by the rates fixed for SYDNEY COAL; but while it is true that other coals, to get a sale at all, have been pressed on the market at-various prices ‘under the current rate of SYDNEY COAL, it is no les#*true that, taking into account the superior lastin qualities of SYDNEY COAL when compare with other Cape Breton coals, the advaitage, both as to economy and convenience, is in favor of SYDNEY COAL, even at a much higher price.

The General Mining Association (Limited) regret that they should again have to caution the Public against the attempts being made from time to time to induce them to buy in- ferior coals purporting to be ‘‘ EQUAL TQ, SYDNEY,” “SUPERIOR TO SYDNEY,” etc., etc., while some yet more unscrupulous vendors have not hesitated to advertise their coalas SYDNEY COAL (from some designated locality). All these efforts to sell coal by such means are only so many admissions oa the part of those who make them of the stanparp character of SYDNEY COAL.

It has come to the knowledge of the Aste- ciation that in frequent instances parties givin

orders to truckmen and others for SYDNEY COAL have been furnished with other and uuferior coal. The Public are cautioned against permitting themselves to be imposed upon in this way.

Every vessel loaded at THE SYDNEY

MILNES is furnished with a certificate of her}

cargo being Sydney Coal. Parties purchasing should satisfy themselves by demanding the production of this certificate.

The ‘* Sydney Coal” is registered under the laws of the Dominion, and unauthorized parties using the Trade Mark “SYDNEY COAL” are halle to prosecution.
