At a meeting held last Monday evening, it was decided to make preparations through the coming winter, and to commence the new structure in thespring. It is intended to; have the outside completed next year. The handsome sum of $500 was subscribed at the meeting.

Apvicz To MoTHERS.— Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup shoald always be used when children are cutting teeth. It relievos the little sufferer at once; it produces natural quiet sleep by relieving the child from pain; and the little cherub awakes as “‘bright asa button.” It is very pleasant to taste. It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays ail pain, relieves wind, regulates the bowels, and
is the best known remedy for diarrhcea, whether arising from teething or other causes. Twenty-five cents a bottle. Be
sure and ask for Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Svrup. and take no other kind, [April 1 ‘28 mencotliinelial
Cranks.—On last evening, in Oddfellows Hall, Mr. Theo. L. Chappelle delivered an interesting address on the subject of ‘*Cranks.” The peculiarities of these eccentric individuals were vividly portray- ed, and although at times their objection- able features were most discernable, yet it must be admitted that they fill an import- ant place in seciety. Too harsh judgement should not be entered against them, for although extreme in their opinions and actions, when presumably in the wrong they invariably become our mos* level headed and zealous citizens—-when a re- formation takes place.
ANOTHER Fire.—Says the Summerside Pioneer:—Mr. Arthur Owen, of Hamilton, came nearly losing his dwelling house last Tuesday night. Mr. and Mrs. Owen were away in Cavendish visiting friends at the time, but the rest of the family were at
home. All the young people slept up stairs. During the night one of the child-
ren got up and went down to his father’s bedroom, which was on the ground flat. When he got to it it was full of smoke and he was nearly stifled, but he succeeded in getting out and immediately ran up stairs to give the alarm. Miss Ross, the Hamil- ton teacher, who boards with Mr. Owen, immediately got up and ran to a neighbor's to secure help, but by the time this came one of the grown up-sons of Mr. Owen had succeeded in getting on to the roof with water and the fire was at last put out. Some kindling had been placed too near the kitchen stove and it caught fire. The fire reached the partition, worked its way up, burning the posts that supported the flue, which was only built from the beams, and then gp alongside the flue and got to the roof. How it didn’t spread in its course seems a mystery. Had they been ten min- utes later knowing of it the house would have been burned to the ground, and pos- sibly a loss of life been the result. —— ee = GTS

A large and influential meeting of the in- Naufrage and surrounding country was held on Wednesday last in Bear River School House. Clement Me- Donald, Esq., occupied the chair, and stated briefly the object of the meeting convened.
For some time back, the road west of St. Margaret’s Church has been almost impass- able owing to great piles of sand having drifted in on it from the shore. A new road was determined upon some months ago, but difficulties were in the way. At the meeting were G. W. Bentley, Esq., Commissioner of Public Works; John McLean, Esq., M. P. P., and J. C. Underhay, Esq., M. P. P. After a full and animated discussion, in which the farmers present took a leading part, it was decided to open a new road, beginning at Feehan’s, on the Bear River Road, and leading through to Naufrage Bridge. This will necessitate the building of a new bridge at Naufrage, a little to the south of the old one. The new bridge will cost, it is said, in the vicinity of a thousand dollars, and will be built as soon as possible. The old road is to be left open.
We congratulate the peopie of that sec- tiom of the country upon the fact that the road in question is to be opened at en early day. Local representatives, Messrs. John McLean and J. C. Underhay, deserve the thanks of the community for having ob- tained this boon for the farmers of the North Side

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. False Verdicts.
Sir,—I tully agree with your correspon-
dent ‘* Enquirer” in his remarks upon the
unreliability of verdicts, rendered by Coro-
ners’ juries. The Coroner, | admit, is him- self sometimes open to censure for not in- vestigati: cases that come before him, more tho: .ghly. But it must be remem- bered that, in the majority of cases, he has a very difficult duty to perform, and unless assisted vigo:.)’:'y by his jury, the verdict is apt to be vv.» far from what it ought to be. A Coroner, as inquests are now con- ducted, is expected to actin the triple ca- pacity of of judge, lawyer and detective. In the Jast named capacity he is supposed to ferret out witnesses for the case. Very often those witnesses turn out to be very unwilling ones, especially if a suspec- ted party happens to a friend ora neighbor of their’s. Then again the jurymen may be neighbors of the accused.
In summoning the jury, the Coroner is required by law to summon the neighbors, who are supposed to be the best judyes of the facts to be inquired into. Now, this neighborship, in my opinion, is one of the chief sources of so many bad verdicts. The liquor seller, for instance, is the juryman’s neighbor. He sells his vile stuff to all who ask and have the money (or the credit) to pay for it. Occasionally some one is poisoned by it—and is found dead. An inquest is held, and a verdict of either ‘*accidental death,” of ‘‘cold and expo- sure,” or of something else equaily mild and ambiguous is found bythe jury. Or perhaps the liquor seller himself is the vic- tim. He sells toa crowd of fellows, who kick up arow after getting drunk on his liquor, and gets roughly handled himself. If he should die, and a jury be summoned, their verdict would probably be ‘* accident- al death,” but not one word would we hear about the cause of the trouble —Rum !
A juryman is solemnly sworn to inquire ‘“*when, how and by what means came to his‘death.” If he fails to inquire ‘*by what means” the deceased came to his death, he is guilty of culpable derelic-
tion of duty, and unfit to render a true ver- dict. The first duty of a juryman, upon being sworn, is to see if there be any marks of violence onthe body of the deceasea. To do this, the body should be denuded of all clothing. This is not done in one case out of a hundred. Jurymen, as a rule, merely look atthe body. How can they know anything about the cause of death when they don’t even attempt to discover whether there are marks of violence visible or not /
And as for endeavoring to find out by what means an unfortunate came to his death, they simply pass that over—and hence the guilty party is allowed to go Scott free. Unless Coroners’ juries can be made to do their duty, it would, as you say, be better to do away with inquests alto-
gether. Enquizer, No. 2. February 11, 1889.
