Mr. Archibald’s Departure. Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Archibald left here this morning, by way of Piefouw. Mr. Archibald will proceed, withowt delay, to the scene of his future labors, followed by the best wishes of all connected with the Railway service. Jt was, we learn, the in- tention of the employes to have tendered Mr. Arghibald a complimentary dinner at the Rankin, on Saturday night; but the very limited time be had at his disposal in which to transact a Iafge amount of busi- ness, rendered it impossible for him to ac- cept this token of their f:vor. On the evening of the 12th, the employes resident of the city, assembled in the Saperintend- ent’s Ottice, and presented him with an address, to which he made an excellent extempore reply, which was well received. The address will be handsomely illuminated aud forwarded to him It reads as fol- jows:—

To L. B Arcaipatp, Esq., Superintendent

P. E. Island Railway.

Dear S1r,—It is with mingled feelings of pleasure and tegret we have learned that you are about to relinquish the management of the P. KE. Island Railway, for the purpose of accepting a More important position in the service of the Canada Pacitic Railway. While under your control, the affairs of this road have been administered with @ degree of efliciency so marked as to merit the highest commendation ; end we may be pardoned for giving expression to the opinioa—an opinion borne out by faets and fizures—that at no former period of its history the Road enj yed so larze & measure of prosperity or has been regarded with the same degree of pooular favor, as at present In the new and enlarged sphere of labor to which you have beea called, we have no doubt that you willedisplay the same energy and ability which have character- ized your management of this Railway. And while you have discharged the duties apper- taining to your office with strict impartiality your conduct has been such as to merit the approbation and respect of all occupying subordinate positions im the service. Though absorbed, as you will be, with the duties of your new position, we feel that the Prince Kdward island Railway. and those at present connected therewith, will not seon be for- gotten by you; and rest assured that wherever your lot may be cast you will ever occupy a green spot in our memories

With deep regret we b d you farewell, and trust that you will long live to act a prominent partin administering the affairs ef the great public works with which you are about to be- come identified.

Wishing yourself and Mrs, Archibald tho fallest measure of happiness and prosperity in your new home,
