LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

——o———— That Phenomenon.

Srr,—I notice in the last EXaMINER, an attempt to solve the singular phenomencn, seen by me on the 25th of January, in an ironical manner. If Mr. Neil Stewart had come out over his own sigpature, and gave a reasonable account of thé light, we would have felt much obliged; or if he had said he was in search of stock that had gone abroad, it would have appeared a very probable ac- count; but he says he was going to Mr. Jas. Barus’, seems peculiarly strange. both for the hour of the night and the direction he took. How he should take an angle in the very opposite direction, passing through the widest part of the woods on Apple Tree Farm, and returning on an angle of some chains to the eastward of Mr. J. Burns’ house. I can’t understand how he came to make such a curve in his road, as he only lives about forty chains from Mr. Burns’, and { live abont a mile and a quarter and we had no diffienlty in seeing Burns’ and McGregor’s houses from our door with the brightness of the night.

It appears that Mr. Neil Stewart must have been bewildered either by natural or ph ys:cal causes.

My account of the light was by circum- ference, not by squares. Mr. ‘Lantern’ must have as little knowledge of the difference between circumference and squares as Mr. Neil Stewart had of the direct coursa to Mr. Burns’ house,

Yours &c., James STEWART.

A Falso Report.

Srr,—In a recent issue of your journal I notice @ communication signed ‘* Temper- ance,” purporting to be an account of an intelligent sociality which was enjoyed by the members of Fidelity, Western Star and Guiding Star Divisions, 8S. of T., with the brethren of Perseverance Division, at their Lodge Room, Brae, a few evenings ago. Had the writer signed himself ‘‘ In- temperance,” I would not have been under the necessity of contradicting his lying report. It isevidently the production of a faithful worshipper at the shrine of Bacchus, of one whose name is not associated with the cause of temperance. With the first of his epistle, in which he describes the meet- ing and those who took part in the even- ing’s entertainment, I have not much fault to find, except those of whom he made spe- cial mention were no more deserving of it than several others whose names he doubt- less did not learn, as representatives of the class to which he belongs are never found in temperance societies.

‘*Temperance”’ writes that when the evening’s enjoyment was over at the Elall we were invited by Mr. D. McLeod to his house to partake of a supper prepared for the occasion, after which the remaining hours Were spent in dancing, ete.

At the close of the meeting we respoeded to an invitation extended to us by Brother McLeod, to partake of a supper at his house, prepared for us by his estimable partner, after which we returmed to our} respective homes, feeling that we had spent an evenivg which could be justly classed among the happiest of our lives.

The writer well knew that on account of a family bereavement Mr. McLeod would not allow, even if the company were favor- able for it, dancing, and he evidently wished to circulate a report to injure the feelings of our kind host and hostess, and several good Christians that composed our number.

Hoping you will find space for this in your next issue, I remain,

Yours, &c., J. K. Ramsay.

Cornwall.

Sir,—I observe over the above signa- ture that some slave of the Patriot clique is endeavouring to make himself acceptable to his masters by maligning the character of those who have been for years faithful and esteemed servants of the public. The crouching sycophant pretends to be trem- bling in terror of a disease which, in Corn- wall at least, was numbered with the things of the pasv six weeks ago. On Dec, 30th, the Medical Health Officer declared every suspected house in the settlement free from infection. And subsequent events prove the propriety of his decision. But the Patriot correspondent tells us that the keepers of the Cornwall Post Office conceal- ed their knowledge of the smallpox being in their house. This is directly false. On the contrary, whenever suspicious of its presence, they instantly made it known to the proper person. ‘Their house, on their own information, was quarantined two separate times. They suffered great loss and inconvenience, and instead of being made the victims of political spleen and malice, they deserve the sympathy and kindly good will of every well thinking member of the community.

The esteem in which the present keeper of the Post Office is held fmay be gathered from the fact, that when on one occassion she wished to resign, the settlement volun- tarily raised a subscription in addition to the Governmont allowances, and insisted upon her retaining it. And we are confi- dent that no other keeper in Cornwall could command the esteem and confidence which she does.

Meeting at New Haven.

The meeting held here on the 3rd inst., was a success. Mr. H. McMillan being appointed Chairman, expleined that thie object of the meeting was the building of an abutment to the West River Bridge, for the accommodation of the steamer South-

some twenty miles in a single trip to Char- lottetown, that Hon. Wm. Campbell had anticipated the object of the meeting by calling tenders for the work, that this sec- tion owes a debt of gratitude to our faith- ful representative, D. McKay, Esq., as well as to Mr. Campbell, for these improve- ments, which are of immense public benefit.

R. B. Stewart, Esq., referred to the dif- ficulty experienced by them for want of vessels, etc., to Bonshaw, and considered the Dock at the Bridge a great convenience to those living in his vicivity.

Mr. James McNeill expressed the injus- tice to the people living on this side of the river, having to travel a circuitous route to Shaw’s wharf, and that they were entitled to a dock at the Bridge for accommodation of the steamer.

Mr. Cyrus Crosby said the building of a dock would be a great boon to the people of Bonshaw, New Haven and other dis- tricts, as they now had to travel to Shaw’s wharf to meet the steamer,

D. McKay, Esq., M..P. P., spoke of the abutment, said he urged the prayer of petition last winter, and again urged it this winter, and wasjhappy to state that the Hon, Wm. Campbell had advertised for tenders, and the work was to be under- taken at once, explained other matters in his connection as representative, and re- ceived the applause of the meeting.

D. Farquharson, Esq., M. P.P., said the abutment was only a matter of about $500, and was not a matter of great im- portance and then referred to matters re- specting Dominion and Local Govern- ments, etc.

Hon. Wm. Campbell was then called upon, and said that the plan and specifica- tion for the abutment to the bridge was ready, and tenders advertised, compli- mented the district in having such a faith- ful and energetic representative as Mr. McKay, and that the Government hadSdone more for West River than all preceding Governments, as witness, the dock and steamer at Rocky Point; instead of a sail- boat at all seasons; and also the ferry at McEwen’s, and what is and will be a boom to people of Lot 65 as well as his own con- stitutents at Argyle Shore, viz. : the bridge at North River, which saves a long distance on hilly roads round Bonshaw in getting to Charlottetown ; made reference to expenili- ture of present and previous Governments, and made a most efiective speech which was well recoived, Mr. Campbell being frequently applauded.

Mr. Allan Mclean asked a question re- specting McEachern’s wharf.

Mr. Farquharson then said that the wharf in question should be repaired, and as the Government hai repaired Red Point and other wharves, to leave McEachern’s so long was disgraceful; and made other charges against the Government.

Mr. Campbell replied with telling effect and said that not a cent was spent by him on Red Point Wharf or any other save fer steamer Southport, that the wharves be- longed to the Dominion, and it was their duty to repair them, answered Mr. Far- quharson’s charges in other respects and showed them to be groundless, the meet- ing frequently applauding Mr. Campbeil.

A vote of thanks was then tendered Messrs. Campbell, McKay and Farquharson for their attendance, also to the Chairman, and the meeting dispersed.

Black Bush Debating Club and Literary Institute.

The membere of the Black Bush Debating Club and fuiterary Institute assembled in their Club Raom on Monday evening, 8th inst., the foUowing imteresting subject being under divcussion : *‘ Should Women be granted the Privileges of the Franchise?” The members were there en masse, conse- quently the arguments were very sharp on both sides. After discussing the subject a division was called, the majority (one) was unfavorable to women haviug the privilege of voting.

The following is a list of the members who spoke :—James McPhee, who opened the discussion, was of the opinion that women should be granted the privilege of the franchise; John A. McDonald, was of a different opinion, and brought forward many arguments to substantiate his asser- tions; James McLean, Joseph Morrison, Herman McPhee, Bernard McDonald, H. T. Gillis, Joseph Currie, Hugh J. McDon- ald, Joseph McCormack, Allen Gillis, Misses Agnes McDonald, Theresa McCor- mack and Maggie A. Morrison also spoke.

Quite a noticeable feature of the proceed- ings was the addition of the ladies as bona fide members enjoying the same privileges as the gentlemen in the participation of the debate, and voting on the question under discussion. Their intelligence and zeal are to be commended in so materially assisting the interests of the Club.

At Ketton, England, last November, a young man suddenly diswppeared one night, and was believed to have been drowned in

the river. Dragging irons were obtained and a search made, but without success. At the request of the youth’s mother a loaf of bread charged with quick ilver (said to have been scraped from an old looking glass) was cast upon the waters and it came to astandstill in the river. Here the grap- pling hooks were put in and the corpse was brought to the surface, having been in the water seventeen days. The river at this point had been dragged several times be- fore.

Early Monday morning, Bolling Parker, arespectable farmer of Nansemond Co., Va., made a deadly assault with an axe upon his wife and sister. The latter was instantly killed and his wife was fatally wounded. Parker says he had no quarrel with his wife or sister, but conld not resist the power that prompted him to do the deed.

It is said that young seals utter « ery

port, etc.

Mr. A. C. Shaw, being called on, review- | ed the progress of public improvements’ here, stating that the bridge alone saved

wonderfully like the sobbing of a child in pain. Now we see why women are so fond of sealskin sacques. It is that feeling which women alone possess,
