SEPTEMBER 5, 1885.

Hditorial Notes. —It isgproposed in Montreal to erect a statue of the late Sir Francis Hincks in the Parliament grounds, Ottawa, similar to that of the late George Cartier.

—President Cleveland could have turned out 2,500 Postmasters and put in Democrats in their places. He has only removed 193. He has appointed 467, the remaining officers being vacated by

sickness, death or resignation. o —They have been trying biennial sessions of the Legislature in New

Hampshire, and the result is described thus by one of the journals there :— ‘* Biennial sessions have not brought the millennium in this State, but they have saved the State $75,000 annually.”

—When we re-consider our remarks made a few days ago of the grass growiug by the side of sidewalks,we see two good qualities in this untidiness. In the first place it shows strangers how wonderfully fertile our soil is,* and secondly it certainly counteracts the bad air of the town, for plant’s food is man’s poison.

—The Prince of Wales has sent a letter to Sir Charles Tupper requesting that “the display of live fish and the hatching of fish common to the Dominion of Canada, and the various appliances relating thereto, may form part of the exhibits of that colony at the forth- coming Colonial and Indian exhibition of 1886.

— Those Montreal physicians, says the Toronto Globe, who refuse to report small-pox cases in order to conceal the true extent of the epidemic are, besides being euemies of the public, traitors to their profession. As the recognized

guardians of the public health, their eonduct is disgraceful. The law should provide stringent penalties for such

criminal contempt of duty.

—-It would not be fair nor true to say that the Street Committee of the City Council have done anything towards repairing the streets and sidewalks, but one serious neglect demands mention. Queen Street is in a very lamentable condition, especially between Dorchester aud Grafton Streets, where it is im- possible to derive any pleasure from driving, aud where it is doubly difficult for heavily laden horses to drag their Joads. We tremb'e when we think what it will be in the winter, and trust our City Fathers will agree upon at least this point: That it is essential to the welfare of a commercial centre that its principal street be in good repair, and that for pleasure-seekers the most fre- quented street ®e not so rough that¥a carriage can be driven only at snail's pace over it.

—I!t is characteristic of the presen® inactivity of the City Council in the matter of making the city and suburbs at least not pestilential, that in our report of a late meeting we had to dismiss the subject of the nuisance at Spriug Park Bridge with the words “no action was taken in the matter.”” We read how Montreal is affected by the smallpox, we shudder as we read of the ravages of cholera in Spain and France, we are in fear and trembling lest we, too, be visited in like manner, aud we see with indifference that fevers are so prevalent among us; yet it is deemed sufficient that a few yards are cleaned out.while such a plague spot as the brook at Spring Park Bridge pollutes the air, and bears disease to man and beast alike. The Woollen Factory took steps to remedy their pollution of the brook, but here the subject rests, for ‘“‘no action was taken inthe matter.” We presume the families of the neighborhood pay their taxes, (if they do not they should be forced to) and though their road is perhaps the most disreputable approach to town from want of police vigilance and street improvements, they deserve at least this much from the City Council—that such a death-breathivg scourge as that vitiated stream is, be attended to before it is too late.

—The following statement of the earnings and expenses of the Canadian Pacific Railroad for the month of July, audefor the seven months ending July 31st of the present year, shows that the business of the road is rapidly increasing, and that it is daily growing in popular favor. The corporation statement be- tween the profits of the road this year and those of the corresponding period of last year proves beyond the possibility of contradiction that the road is in a flourishing condition and warrants the conclusion that as « commercial enter- prise it is bound to succeed.

Hallelujah Wedding. STAFF-CAPT. WYATT AND CAPT. GUBBINS, SAVED ARMY, UNITED—-TWO SOULS WITH BUT A SINGLE THOUGHT, TWO HEARTS THAT BEAT AS ONE—AN EVENT FOR WHICH rHERE WAS GREAT PREPARATION—-A PRO- FUSION OF BUNTING, FLORAL OFFERINGS AND KISSES.

(British Whig, Kingston, Ont.)

The hallelujah wedding occurred in the Ontario Hall last night. The building was very elaborately decorated with bunt- ing, bannerettes and mottoes. The thing to catch the eye was the ‘‘Welcome to All.” The sides and back of the platform were ornamented with the Stars and Stripes and Union Jacks. A little after & o'clock, when the hall was nearly filled, Mr. McLauchlin, confectioner, ran up the centre aisle and deposited a handsome hree-story wedding cake on a little stand. He did this amid the ‘‘Ohs!” and smiles of the ladies. The cake was flanked with elegant bouquets, and they grew in beauty side by side. The people now craned their necks in quest of the bride who had not been seen to enter the hall. She had arrived early, occupied a most retired spot, and carried herself modestly, Rev. Mr. Shortt at last arrived and the proceedings began with singing and prayer. Gen. Lindsay addressed the audience briefly, commending the contracting parties who were about to be married. Rev. Mr. Shortt called for the bridal party. Staff Capt. Wyatt and Capt. Gubbins rose up and slowly stepped upon the platform. Private Hornibrook and Capt. McGregor followed and wheeled up on the left. On the right of the bridal party stood Mr. W J. Moore and Mrs. Wyatt, the latter the mother of the groom. He isa good look- ing and well conducted young man, and appeared exceedingly well in his handsome dark suit.¢ The coat was profusely braided and the gold braid stripes on his pants was an inch in width. On his breast and looped through a silver emblem of the Saved Asmy was a pond lily. The bride was attired in army costume and she car- ried a bouquet of highly perfumed flowers. She was pretty and intelligent. and her responses were clearly and firmly made- |The ceremony over Staff-Captain Wyatt | kissed his bride and then she was kissed by his mother and Mr. Moore.

Staff Capt. Wyatt is a native of Char- lottetown and visited here last summer in the interest of the Army.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Contradiction.

Sir,—-In the Weekly Patriot of last week there appeared a communication headed **Another Cow Story.’? The writer charges some person living not over 100 miles from the Tullock Farm, with obtaining prizes for cattle as thoroughbreds, which had been purchased without pedigree. The public knows that this insinuation is false, but it is no secret that a farmer residing in the immediate vicinity of Tullock Farm entered for prizes at our last exhibitton two pens of young pigs, representing one pen to be pure bred Berks, and the other to be pure bred Yorks, while they all belonged to the one litter.

I am yours, etc., THomas BERRIGAN.

East Royalty, Sept. 11, 1885.

Government Pond.

Sir,—-That horrible nuisance known as the Government Pond, in this city, is jast now drained and presenting a very revolt- tng appearance. The proper authorities should teke immediate steps to fiil this pond vp with brush and clay, leaving a water course in the centre to carry off the contents of the tanneries, woollen mills, ind othor deposits. Thus converting that which is now a nvisance into a_ valuable piece of ground; and as it joinsihe exhibi tion field, it could*be utilized for exhibition purpores to good edvantage.

It is hoped that in the interest of the general pnblic this putrid spot will soon be made available for useful and ornamental purposes.

A Widow's Vengeance. SHE KILLS THE MAN WHO ASSAULTED H2R WITH CRIMINAL INTENT.

A terrible story of wrong dene and swift retribution therefor comes from Bellville, Ont., in which a widow is shown to have used an axe with deadly effect. Martin Archibald, a farmer in the township of Huntingdon, became influenced with liquor and breke into the house of a widow, Mrs. Mary Adams, who lived with her son on the side of the village road. The man who has a wife and family of his own, tried to get into the house and was warned off by the woman. He persisted, and breaking down the door seized Mrs. Adams and threw her to the floor. Helpless in his strong grasp she called her son to her asaist- anee. He quickly responded, and struck Archibald with an axe with such force as to compel him to loose his hold of the pros- trate woman. At that instant the widow breke from her prosecutor, regained her feet and seizing the axe rained blows upon Archibald’s head and body until he lay at her feet dying. She then left the house und gave herself up to a neighbor, saying that she had killed Archibald in her own defence,

Dr. Boulter endeavored in vain to save the man’s life. He found no less than seven wounds upon Archibald’s head and five upon his*shoulders. Archibald cannot recover. He is fifty years old. As his family is widely known the affair has caused a sensation in the neighborhood. Opinion

applauds the widow’s desperate defense.
