ve it will be, discussion and the rela- | ot experiences will still further oread the desire to grow fruit, and that,

1, in the most intelligent manner. Growers will diseover what kinds to propagate, and what sorts fo discard ; what kiuds our soil and climate will

hring best to perfection, and what are

‘uitable or profitable to cultivate. Che display of fruits at our Exhibition | showed that we cau produce most excel lent varieties, aud with profi. This is the case particularly 19 the apple exhibit As fiae specimens of autumn varieties of apples are shown as can be found almost auywhere. In the United States they produce summer, fall aud winter apples. We notice that Mr. Benjamin Wright erows one of the best American varieties of summer apples, the Red Williams, quiie a red apple, as it name indicates, and shaped like the Porter apple and Bishop Pippin. The flavor is spicey aud aad pleasant, and the flesh partakes somewhat of a reddish color. Here, iv climate, it becomes an early tall apple, and judging from the quantity whieh Mr. Wright disposes ef every tall, we thiak it mast be prolitie.

Our great apple raising forte is the production of autumn varities. Judging from the samples at the exhibitions, the raisiug of winter varieties will never prove a marked success, as our scason is too short to develope and mature them sufficiently. But for fall varieties, our climate and soil seems particularly ad apted, and we believe that the time is not far distant when very large quantities of mauy choice sorts will be produced here and sold by the barrel instead of being peddled out by the dozen aud half peck as is now the case. The varieties we speak of may be divided into early and late fall apples. Some of the latter may made to keep by proper storege through the winter. We would uot discourage the rsising of the Russett and Ribston Pippin, but we be- lieve they cannot be grown profitably. Of the eutamo kinds, the Emperor Alexander, seems to flourish here par- ien arty; if we may judge from the may samples at exhibitions. The show

’ }.ew Brunswickers is increasing, aud

lie only afew as yet have exhibited ‘+ravensteins, yet the samples have been very fine. ‘The Gravensteiv, here, beeomes a late fall or early winter apple. ihe e are also several varieties of seed- or native apples, of excellent flavor,

ating and cooking purposes. A taste for this home fruit has been culti- vatel, and we think some steps should be t.ken to propagate the best varities,so ‘ appearance, flavor aud abundance Those of our readers in-

Holstein Cattle.

The firat importation ef Holstein ¢ at tle

: 1 } . 2 i made to the Province reached tnis city on |

Wednesday night. It consisted of three yearlings—a bull and two heifers—specially selected by a London agent Heartz, Esq. They were exXan day and to-day by the leading st: ck raisers of Charlottetown Royalty, who one and ali

rer

itre d vester-

pronounced them to be the finest speciuens of live stock they have see: here. The Holstein will be a valnable addition to the

Island stock. They are first-class milkers, and not much inferior to the Durhams as beeves. Those imported by Mr. Heartz seem well adapted to the climate, as they do not appear to be affected by the long fall voyage. The Halifax Herald says :—

‘The steamer Boston City, which arrived on Sunday from London, G. B, brought, besides other cargo, three thoroughbred Holstein cattle—a bull and two yeerlings Tiey are owned by Mr, Benjamin Heartz, of Charlottetown, and will be the first Hol- steins ever imported into P. E. Island. They are fine-looking animals and are worth about $1,500. The stock coutes from a pedigree of great prize-winners, the sire and grandsire of the buli having car- ried off a large number of prizes. The Boston City has also on boarl forty head of the same breed of cattle for Boston.”’

Mr. Heartz is to be congratulated on his enterprise, and also on his endeavors to im- prove the stock of this Province.

time, but a sixteen year old girl named McPherson was also in the shanty. Welsh arrived there after mid-

night, drunk. There had been some quarrel- ing between the women and men previous to this, and after the arrival of Welsh some fighting took place. According to the evi- dence of one Peter Cowie, at the coroners ‘inquest, Welsh accused the party of abusing ‘his woman, and said he could whip any three men in the house. Cameron replied | that he himself was as good as any man 1p | Manitoba, and Mat Ward said he was a toot shorter than either of them, but could whip either of them. Welsh then rushed into a room, as they supposed, to get a revolver

but Cameron. They went a short distance

up the sidewalk, when one of them sug- vested going back to get Cameron. Andrews and Ward went back and the

others sat down onthe sidewalk, They cat there a short sime and he got up and walked towards the house. Welsh came ‘ut and ordered him away and gave similar instructions to Ward. They retorted that they were minding their own business and were not interfering with him, but waiting for some friends who were inside. He said they had insulted the woman in the house, but if they would be civil they could go back. They told him they would go back, vet the boys and go home. They went back, remained half an hour or 80 and then started for home. They got outside of the house, leaving only the women inside. The others tried to get Cameron avd Ward to go home. They would not go and Ward said he would go home and leave them, and did se. He spoke to Cameron and Ward and seeing that they did not intend to go home, followed Ward. He had got about half way between the house and the railway track and then start- ed back and when he got back Cameron had hold of Welsh and Welsh and Ward had hold of one another, Ward got away from Walsh, whom

and struck acouple of times. Welsh then got up, and Cameron told him that he must not strike his chum. Welsh replied that he could take any one of them alone. After talking a few minutes Ward stepped up to Welsh, who hit him in the face. Cameron then made for Welsh and fell down, and Welsh ran for the door, which was locked. He called to the woman to lethimin. She unlocked the door, and all started away but Ward, and the witness caught hold of him and drew him along. They all got pretty close together, and after getting about twenty-five or thirty yards, a shot was tired from behind. Cameron shouted out that he was shot, and ran a short distance and fell. They picked him up, and he was ap- parently dead. He heard the revolver click before the shot was fired, but did not see the shot fired. He believed Welsh fired into the crowd without taking aim, Ward, Cameron, and Andrews were drunk, and the witness and Alward were sober. Welsh was drunk when he came home. The shooting took place about half past three o’clock. There were no threats of shooting made during the night.” AFTER THE MURDER

Welsh returned to the shanty, threw the revolver on the bed and lay on the floor in a drunken sleep He was awakened two ‘hours later by the bluenose chief of police, , Murray, and jailed. The girl McPherson | testified that Mrs, Welsh loaded the revol- | ver and gave it to Welsh. He went out of ‘the shanty, and immediately afterward she heard a shot fired, The last previous ‘murder committed in Winnipeg was two | years ago, when an Kimsdale man named McDonald was murdered by an American rough in a liqnor shanty kept by a Cape Bretoner named Munroe. Welsh has been committed for trial for wilful murder, and the woman for aiding him by loading the weapon,
