NOVEMBER 23, 1878.

More about “ That Glass.”

Tur facts known are, that Messrs. Dodd and Rogers, in defiance of the law securing the Independence of Parliament, contract- ed with the Government for supply of Chance’s No 1 Glass for the Lunatic Asylum ; that the glass was to be supplied and delivered on or before the Ist day of September last ; that long subsequent to that date an instalment of Chance’s No. 2 glass was supplied; that the EXAMINER ex- posed the fraud; that the glass was with- drawn and taken away; that no glass of the quality and weight specifled has been supplied ; that, in all probability no such glass will be supplied this year, and that the Government of which the Hon. Thomas W. Dodd—one of the contract- ing parties—is a member, has taken no steps whatever towards righting the flag- rant wrong done the competing firms and the public. No defence of the Government or of Messrs. Dodd & Rogers has been No explanation has been afforced a It was, in-

made. very much interested public. deed, whispered about among partizans easily duped that the delivery of the No. 2 glass was all a mistake; that it was in- tended for the new School, and was sent out to the Asylum without the order or the knowledge of anyone in particular. The unlikehood of thirty-two ounce glass being required for a school-house, and the fact that the glass actually required for the new school-house by the the terms of the contract, is the best twenty one ounce glass— and not Chance’s No. 2, thirty-two ounce glass—doubtless account fur the secrecy with which this excuse was circulated among the faithful.

But even the ‘faithful’ must doubt, when they learn that the glass supplied by Messrs. Dodd & Rogera for the new school- house,is not Chance’s No. 2-32 oz. glass— but that it is so poorin quality that the trustees and the architect have been obliged to reject a great part of it!

The Rifle.

ENGINEERS VICTORIOUS.

sone

Some few weeks ago ten members of No. 3 Company of active Militia of Charlotte- town challeged any ten members of active Militia of any other Company on the Island to shoot a match on Kensington Rifle Range, fora sum of not less than 350 or exceeding $100—Ranges 200, 400, 500 and 600 yards--7 shots at each range, and hoped that this laudable intention be car ried out. And to further this object ten ;members of the Royal Engineers accepted their challenge to fire a match on their own conditions cn Kensington Range on the 21st November, for a sum of $50 a side. The match accordingly took place on Tharsday, and resulted in a victory for the Royal Engineers of 17 points. The follow- ing is the score of each man :—

A WesTERN exchange says :—‘‘In view of the great success which has attended the system of business inauguration by John McDonald & Co., of Toronto, who employ no travellers, but depend solely on adver- tising, for the sale of their goods, it is sur- prising that more firms do not adopt the same plan. In Chicago, dispensing with travellers and and spending in advertising the money thus saved is becoming much more general than it has been, and the press of that city is jubilant over the state- ment made by the proprietors of one of the largest wholesale grocery houses, who some time ago discharged 10 travellers, who it had kept on at an expense of about $40,000, the result being that business ceased to pay. Last year, after the change in their system, they spent $10,000 in advertising, and claim ‘a profit on the year’s transaction of $130,- 0v0.”’

Now thriving settlements succeed each other from the Straits of North- umberland to the Gulf of st.

{We copy the above from the Scottish American Journal, one of the leading news- papers of the day, and especially an organ for the sons of the heather in this Canada of ours. ‘*£C.” has omitted a ‘ father,” whom, we think, he would like to have added to the list Mr. Alexander McMil- lan, of Little Sands—whose son is one of the leading mechanics of Pictou—died at 82, and sleeps with his kin at Wood Islands. He belonged to the able-bodied and good- looking McMillan family. The object of this notice was as hardy and conrageous as he was hospitable. He made ninety-nine trips from the Island to Nova Scotia with the winter mails, and once, on foot, he carried them to Halifax from Pictou on his back. He accomplished his laboriou; 100-mile journey in three days. He was son of the Callum Eachan above named. Such was the mail communication of half a century ago.

Mr. Malcolm MclIsaac—in whose house the late venerated Bishop MeEachern often officiated to Catholics and Protestants alike-—is a departed Highlander whose name is closely associated with the southern section of Queen’s County. We believe his remains rest in the Vernon River Cemetry.
