SECOND EDITION

MARCH 12, 1880.

The Fishery Award.

TRE answer of the Privy Council is dis- appointing and very unsat isfactory, At first we were at a loss to account for the terms in which it is couched. The people of this Island, it is said, have no claim to the Award, which may not, with eguab jus- tice, be urged by any other Province of the What ! who live by the sea, whose livelihood and prosperity are, to a certain extent, depend- ent upon the products of the sea, and

Dominion. Have not the people

whose interests have been materially in- jured by che privileges granted to the fish- ermen of the United States, any better claim thaa the people of Outario or Mani- tuba, whose interests not been touched? The Privy Council have said it ; aud, surely they would not say that which is manifestly unreasonabie, or do that

have

which is inanifestiy unjust !

A carcful perusal of the records of the negociations anent the entry of this Island into the Union gives a key to the reasons which underlie the seeming strange decision of the Privy Council.

When, in 1873, Messrs. Laird and Hay- thorne left for Ottawa in the darkness of a February: night, to negociate fer our union with Carada, they were instructed by the Executive Council to make terms,—one of was that the Dominion should ‘allow che Prince Edward Island Local Governnient to retain any sum whieh may be awarded by the Fishery Commission under the Washingten Treaty,as an equiva- lent for surrendering the Fisheries of the

which

Colony.” : t

After negociating in Ottawa for some days, Messrs. Laird and Haythorne sent the following despatch to their colleagnes in this Province :—

(coPy.) Orrawa, Marci: 3, 1873.

Increase of annual allowance, tetal Rail- way debt, steam dredge conceded, Law Courts conceded with entire pussession. FISHERIES SAME AS OTHER PROVINCES, tf not settled before Union ; $800,000 for land, increas-d by interest on $100,000 ; $431,- 000 allowed, instead of difference on old debt. In other respects the better terms are to stand. We advise: dissolve on these terms. Do our colleagnes concur! In- mediat? answer required,

HAyTHorne. LaIRb.

To this telegram the following answer

was returned by the Lieutenant Covernor

of the day :— COPY. 6th Marcu.

Cownreil concur in advising dissolution. which will accordingly take place to- morrow. We hope six representatives will be conceded.

Signed) Witt1aM Ropinson.

It will be seen by this, that these gen- tlemen abandoned the right of this Prov- ince to any share of the Fishery Award, if not settled before Union, and that they came to ar understanding with the Donsinion Government that our fisheries were to be on the same footing as the fisheries of the other Provinces. In the they broug lit down it was, in reference to this matter, merely stated that the Dominion Government should assume and defray all charges for ‘‘ the Protection of the Fisher- ies ;’ and it does not appear that the un- derstinding then arrived at was ever after interfered with. Here we have a solution of the enigmatical dispatch, in which we are told that we have no claim which any of. the other Provinces might not put for- ward Messrs. Haythorne and Laird ab- andoned our rights in the fisheries and in the subsequent turmoil and agitation which prec: ded Confederation, that great fact was vverlooked. Nor dees. it seem to have ever been thought of until our claim, as pressed by our delegates of last summer, eame to be considered by the Privy Coun- cil.

We revert to this ‘‘ understanding,” not merely for the purpose of refuting the auda- cious statements made in the Patriot’s edi- toria! correspondence from Ottawa—pub- lished on Thursday morning,—nor to show

terms

‘how it is that such an apparently very

strange answer was returned us by the Privy Council, but to let the people of this Islaid know the position in which they stand with reapect to this matter.

St. Lawrence Marine Insurance Co.

EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT.

Your Directors in presenting their Kighth Annual Report, beg to say that they have ad- hered strictly to the resolution passed at the last meeting of Shaveholders, and no new risks have since been taken.

The lability of the Company then at risk under seven policies in force, covering $19,- 300.00, has been extinguished, the whole hav- ing run off or been cancelled without loss.

At the date of iast meeting there remained uncollected of Call No, 2, the amount of $5,- 041.25. Uf this amount $3,184.15 has been collected and all outside liabilities of the Com- pany have been paid,

As will be seen by the accompanying state- ments there remains still uncollected of Call No. 1 $100.00, avd of Call No. 2 $1,567.44.

The uncollected Calls, together with the balance in hand, amounta to $2,941.53. A considerable number of the Shareholders whose Calls remain unpaid are in Insulvency, and it is estimated by the Board that the bal ance when coliccied, together with the am. ount in hand, will not yield more than suili- ciept to pay Shareholders a return of Fifty cents per share of the subscribed stock. The Call was made upon 2,635 shares, of which it is prebable 2,225 will pay in full.

A Chinese Rip Van Winkle.

Wang Chih, one of the patriarchs of the Taouist sect, was one day gathering fire- wood in the mountains of Ku Chow, when he entered a grotto where some old men were in adeep game of chess. He laid down his axe and watched them, whereupon one of the old men handed him what looked like adate stone, telling him to put it into his mouth. No sooner had he tasted it than he ceased to feel hunger and thirst. By-and-by one of the players said: ‘‘It is long since you came here; you should go home now.” Wang Chiah went to take up his axe, and found the handle had mouldered into dust, Undis- mayed, however, he went bome; but found that centuries had passed since he went out wood cutting. No vestage of his kinsfeik re mained, The -nd of this tale is certainly un- European; for Wang Chih retreats toa cell in the mountains, and deveting himself to religious exercises, finally attains immortal- ity.—Adl the Year Round.

Parrssoro’.—Reports arg still coming in of the large increase in the lumber business. Also a large amount of ship timber is being got ont for shipment.—On the 23rd of Feb. delegates assembled from Pugwash, Oxford avd Spring Hill, to meet with those of Parrs- boro’, to take into consideration the advisabil- ity of building a branch railway from Pagwash, to connect with Spring Hill and Parrsboro. This will shorten the route for P. E. Island folks, and open up a direct trade with the United States.—What is wanted is a large steamboat on the Basin, and the Port of Windsor will also benefit by the enterprise — Mr Jacob Miller has introduced a harrow for farm work which the farmers say beats all other inventions of the kind,-— Windsor Mail.

A MAniropa commission merchant, A. H. Barber, who committed suicide at Emerson, was in receipt of $2,000 a year from the old country, half of which he drew every six months. After getting his money last month, he went ona heavy spree, and spent about $800 in three days. Doubtless he felt very bad about it, which may have led to the com- mittal of the rash act. —Luchange.

A Good Account.

“To sum it up, six long years of bed-rid- den sickness and suffering, costing $200 per ‘year, total $1,200—all which was st»pped by three bottles of Hop Bitters taken by my. wife, who has dene her own house- work for a year since, withont the loss of a

day, andI waut everybody to know it for their benefit.” ‘“Joun Wrexs, Butler, N. Y.”

Divorce IN PHILADELPEL .—During-vaw~

tiarv and February 103 petitions for divoree have been filed in the Common Pleas Court of Philadelphia. 79 are of women who petitioned to be divorced from their husbands; 24 are of men. About one fourth of the petitions allege desertion as the grounds for divorce. It is be- lieved that at least 100 of the petitions will be granted ; the remaining three cases will probably be tried by a jury. ~evinnstenailiagpiiemmndall

PLACARDS were posted in prominent places about San Francisco, on the 8th inst., warn- ing emmpioyers of Chinese to desist from that practice and vaguely hinting at the terrible consequence of refusal.

Narrow Escaps.—Chas, S. Hunt, Esq, Deputy Sheriff of Prince County, while on his way home from Wilmot Creek, on Friday last, narrowly escaped drewning. As he was passing over Mr. Thomas Schurman’s creek the herse and sleigh broke through the ice. Mr. Hunt managed to get clear of the sleigh, and finding that one of the fore-legs of his horse pad mysteriously remained on the iee, he, with great presence of mind, took hold of it, and with a combined effort of himself and horse, succeeded in extricating the auimal from his perilous position.— Summerside Jour- nal,

A Royat Retince.—The retinue the km. press of Austria brings with her to England is enormous. ‘Twenty-five sit down in the steward’s room, and sixty-tive in the ser- vants’ hall, every day to meals-- ninety in the household. In the stables are about fifty horses, though out of these only six are for Her Majesty's own riding. So far she has never ridden a horse after he has once thrown her, which this year will be an expensive rule. The Empress’ carriages are very neatly

_ turned out ; the head coachman is English, of , course more than half the servants are Eng- ‘lish or Irish.
