A LAD aged 14, named Alexander Matatail, waz found dead at Acadia Mines on the 6th jngt., in an empty and uaused dust receiver at the Steel Company’s blastfurnace. At an inquest held before Coronet J. D. Cook, it was showu that the lad just at dark bad drunk

a large portion of half a flask of brandy, and had then in company with other boys engdged in playing ‘hide and seek” round the furnaces. It

appears that the lad crawled in the dust re- ceiver t> bide and falling down was too much stapified with the liquor to rise, and in cou- sequence perished irom the combined in- fluence of gas, liqwor and exposure. No blame is attached to apy of the company’s e pployes Oe

“ApRaAgaM GEALEY” makes inquiries through the /Zerald regarding the arrange- ment made for delivering foreign mails in Summerside after the Northern Light ceases running. On inquiry atthe Post Office we | learn the mails will probably be transferred from the Northern Light to the Capes route at an early date. All foreign mails—-except the English—will then be made up direet en Summerside and expressed by teams to that place immediately on arrival at Cape Tra- verse. In. case the foreign mails arrive at UCape Traverse in time to make direct con- nection with the afternoon train, they will then be sent by County Line, ut not otherwise. Mails from Summerside will also be expressed by teame directto the Capes By this ar- rangement, only asmall percentage of Sum- merside mail matter will pass through the Charlottetown office, and in most instance citizens of Summerside will receive their mai matter éarlier than Charlottetonians,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,

The Illegal Liquor Traffic.

Srr,—Your issue of January 2nd contains a communication, apparently from some friend of temperance, over the signature of ‘*Good Templar,” requesting information as to the reason why the Scott Act is not enforced in King’s County. He asks that those of the Commissioners and Inspectors who are favorable to the suppression of the traffic come out over their own signatures, and let the public know why the law of the land is daily violated, and no honest effort made tu bring offenders to justice.

The answer to those questions is to be found in ‘*‘Good Templar’s” letter. He admits that it is a fact patent to everyone that a majority of the Commissioners and the Chief Inspector are in sympathy with those who violate the law. Now does any sane man suppose for a moment that any law was ever enforced where the officers of that law were in sympathy with its violators

At the time of the appointment of the Chief Inspector to the position which he now disgraces, I endeavored to dissuade my fellow Commissioners from appointing him, because I then believed, and I still believe, that he was recommended tothe Board of Commissioners by parties who were ino sympathy with the traffic, and opposed to its prohibition. Atarecent meeting of the Board, when | charged him with having divulged the names of parties who gave him information, he gave as an excuse, that he did not want to be called an informer, and the Sheriff also justified him in eo doing.

Now, under those circumstances, how can anyone expect the law to be carried out.

Yours troly, Epwarp Lane.

New Perth, Jan. 5th, 1885.

A Word for “Steeple Cleydon.”

Sir,—The last effort of your contributor ‘Steeple Cleydon” is attracting a good deal of criticism; principally of an adverse char- acter. Hitherto, persons who criticised the Island aud its ways have invariably doae so in e flattering manner, praising every- thing and condemning nothing. Now that a writer has adopted an opposite course, aud undertaken to point out afew of our defects, he is pounced upon by a set of literary vultures and metaphorically anni- hilated. ‘*Steeple’s” communications have always contained afew grains of wheat as well as a goodly portion of chaff, and if the noral attachedfto his productions were acted

morally and otherwise, than we are at present. It is very desirable’ thet we should occasionally ‘*see ourselves as others se9 us,” and if we cannot stand the test of the examination nor swallow the medicine of the examining physician without its being coated with sugar, we should try other remedies before our case becomes incurable. ‘‘Steeple” invariably strikes at the root of the evil, his epistles are sharp, and his arrows have evidently pierced ‘‘the inmost soul” of many in our midst. There. are always two sides toeverything and from what I have seen ef ‘*Steeple Cleydon”’ in the past his side will be ably attended to. Marine Spike.

A Repudiation.

Sir,—Permit me for one to repudiate the idea started last evening by the Herald that the Irish people sympathize with the Dy namiters. Though wronged = and oppressed for centuries they would scorn to use foul weapons, or to luok with a friendly eye upon the work of assassins who belong, tor the most part, te Germany, Russia, and America, and are the merest scum of the earth,

Yours, etc., An IRISUMAN, Jan. 8, 1885.

Tue Crryese Reputsep.—A despatch on the 6th inst. from Hanoi says after the defeat of the 6,000 Chinese near Chu, by Gen. Negrier, 12,000 Chinese arrived and resemed hostilities. Gen. Negrier attacked them, penetrated the positions defended by the forts and tiers of batt: ries, and repulsed and routed the Chinese, who, after active resistance, abandoned their position, The Chinese lost 600 killed and a large number wounded. The French captured two batteries of Krupp guns, a large number of rifles, a quantity of ammn- nition and provisions, and some Chinese standards and convoys. French losses—three officers wounded, nineteen men kiiled, and sixty-five wounded,
