Thursday evening, about eight o’clock. The deceased gentleman was a son of Joseph Dingwell and Margaret McKie. His life had been extended beyond the “three score years and tien,” having been born on the 27th of July, 1805, making him almost 79 years old. On the 15th of January 1829— fifty-five years ago—he married Mrs. Sarah McEwen, who survives him. His family gives six sons and two daughters—all alive but one—and his youngest daughter ie married to the Rev. Allen McLean, of Crapaud.

As a father, husband, neighbor and friend, his life had been an exemplary one. Trusted and honored by his fellow-country- men, he filled several important public offices, such as High Sheriff of the County, Commissioner of smal] debts, Justice of the Peace, etc.,— giving general satisfaction in the discharge of his various duties, and winning well-merited credit for himself.

| Our most gracious Sovereign, the Queen, called him to the Legislative Council of this Province, in the year 1852. The following is a copy of the Royal warrant, which is somewhat unique in its style and wording, and bears the autograph signature of Her Majesty :—

‘Victoria, GREETING :—

Right Trusty and Right Wellbeloved Cousin, We greet you well. We being well sati ficé of the loyalty, integrity and ability of Our Trusty and Wellbeloved James Dingwell, Esquire, have thought fit hereby to signify Our Will and pleasure that, forthwith upon

_the receipt of these—Jamcs Dingweil, Esquire, to be of the Legislative Council of Prince Edward Island—-presents, you swear and admit him, the said James Dingwell, to be a Member of the Legislative Council of Our Island of Prince Edward. And for so doing this shall be your warrant, Given at our Court at Buckingham Palace this Twenty third day of April 1852, in the Fifteenth year , of Our Reign.

| By Her Majesty's Command,” ete.

The above was registered at Charlotte- town on the the 15th day of May 1852, and/ had been forwarded by Her Majesty. | Jo Our Right Trusty and Right Well-

beloved Cousin, James, Earl of Elgin and Kincardine, Knight of the Most Ancient and ‘Most Noble Order of the Thistle, Ovr Captain General and Governor in Chief in and over our Island of Prince Edward, or in the absence .to Our Lieutenant-Governor, or the Officer ‘Administering the Government of Our said Island,” | During his Parliamentary career he was ‘connected with several important measures, the principle of which was ir 1852, the Fres Education Act, which has been such a blessing to our country; im 1853, the Franchise Act; and in 1854, the Recipro- ‘city Treaty, the population of the Island | being at that time 71,496. Early in 1863 the Legislative Council became elective, when he was elected to a seat in the House. Besides the Acts enumerated and others of less importance, he took a prominent part in the Land Question, during which he identified himseif with the interests of the the tenants. The last great measure with which he had to do, was the Railway ques- ‘tion; and no doubt Souris owes a branch to his vote in the Council. Altogether he represented this district for over twenty ‘years. | His character as a Christian won and merited high esteem. Around his death- bed every living member of his family— | with one exception, absent through sickness |_was assembled to bid ‘farewell in time” | to a much loved earthly friend, recollec- ‘tions of which will ever remain. He lived a good life, but believing that words from ‘a dying man would have good effect, he ‘sent for his neighbors, and with clear. un- | clouded intellect, and heart inspired by the ‘approach of eternal joys, he spoke to them of the importance of salvation, and the future before each one of them, in language never to be forgotten. He wished to ‘impress upon their minds that they should ‘value eternal interests above all else, and his actions in his dying hours brought ‘forcibly to mind the sacred words ‘‘Remem- \ber the words which I spoke unto you, |while I was yet with you.” Peacefully ihe fell asleep to wake on the resurrection imorn. ‘Till then we can only say

“Sleep! thou who wast weary of the march of life,

Sleep on.”

| On Monday, the 19th inst., at ten o'clock, 'a large concourse of people gathered to pay the last sad tributes of respect to his re- \mains. The Pastor of the Church to which ‘he belonged—the Rev. J. G. Cameron— preached an impressive sermon in eloquent and appropriate language, from the text, **Father, I will that those whom thou hast given me, be with me where Iam.” He alluded in feeling words to the past life of the deceased, and urged upon ali present |the necessity of preparing for the great _change from time to eternity. At the grave short services were held; the scene was full | of solemn warning—this laying to rest the dear departed friend, By the mouth of the preacher, all present were thanked on be-

ess they had shown to the deceased, and themselves, during his last illness.

To the partner of his life, left to linger a little longer on the road to eternity, the heartfelt sympathy of the community is ltendered. In her widowhood, in the midst | of her bereavement, He who feels all our

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

—o_—

The Fishing Bounty.

Sir,—Your remarks in referefice to Dr. McIntyre's speech, delivered in the House ,of Commons last session, would appear to ifie to be more severe than the circumstances would warrant. Dr. McIntyre was quite right in saying that there were ‘‘not many regular fisher- men in his County.” Probably the district between Souris and East Point produces more fish than any other district of equal extent on this Island, and J thirle you would find it difficult to find a dozen ‘‘regu- lar fishermen” among the lot, where there are from two to three hundred boats er- ployed. What the Doctor said about the scarcity of blanks was perfectly just and to the point. The writer of this is slightly inter- ested in fishing, and last season caught sufficient fish to entitle him to the Bounty, but, like several others whom | know, on making application for blanks, were in- formed by Mr. Foley that he had none, and could not get them. I know enough about the red-tapeism of Ottawa officials to teach me that applications made otherwise than on the proper forms would receive no attention; hence attach but little import- ance to the remarks made by Mr. A. C. McDonald in reference to using written forms of application. If myself and others in thie locality were entitled to the Bounty, it is unjust that we should lose it through the negligence of the Agent of the Minister of Marine and Fisheries for this Island. Yours tru! Jos. Bothwell, May 20, 1884.

The Taxation of the People.

MacVane.

Sir Leonard Tilley points ont that the receipts from Customs, Excise and Bill Stamps—during fhe period between July 1879 and July 1884, based for the latter year on the Estimates, would be 8124,990,- 460. Deducting from this amount the five years’ surpluses, $20,723,835, there remains the sum of $104,266,625. On an estimated average population, the same as that given in the census of 1881, viz., 4,324,810, this would give as the average taxation per head $482 -per annum The taxation, viz., receipts from Customs, Excise and bill stamps, from July, 1874, to July, 1879, was, as per Public Accounts, $93,285,779. Add to this the amount of the deficits during the Cartwright regime, $5,491,314, and we have the sum of $98,787,084 as the amount of the taxation required to meet

¢he actual dxpenditure during that period.

This is a yearly average taxation of $19,757,- 419 or $4.88 per head of the estimated average population of the country during the period, The estimated taxation for coming year 18845 is $25,500,000, out of which must be deducted the estimated surplus of $2.000,000, leaving as the net taxation requisite the sum of $23,500,000. With the large immigration of the years since the spring of 1881 when the census was taken, and the known fact that fewer people have left the country since we ‘* turned the corner” in that respect, it is fair to assume that the population will be 4,700,000. At that rate the taxation will for that year be 5 a head. This is twelve cents per head of the population more than the average taxation during the period of 18749. This additional taxation will go to the treasuries of the provinces under the arrangements regarding the Provincial Sub- sidies and giving Quebec the subsidy for the North Shore Railway. Notwithstand- ing that the Dominion Government expended or will have expended between July 1879 and July 1885 the sum of $67,- 000,000 on the Intercolonial, the Canadian Pocific Ru.ilway and Canals, the increase of taxation in 1885, as compared with 1874-79, will be but twelve cents per head of the population. The net interest paid last year was $271,717 less than in 1879-80; and as the saving of interest through the redemption of the five per cent. loan is esti- mated at $225,000, there is a net saving of $596,717 for which the country could borrow $15,000 without being under the necessity of increasing the taxation. The financial economies of the Finance Minister have been so snecessful that when com- ple‘ed it may eafely be asserted that though the debc will be increased the net interest to be paid in the future will not exceed per head of the population the average amount paid in 1878-80.

New Rovre to Nova Scotia —About the Ist of June a new line between Boston and Nova Scotia will be opened, end will, it is thought, prove attractive to tourists, The Mt. Desert branch of the Maine Cen- tral will be opened from Bangor to Mt, Desert ferry, and in connection therewith the New England and Acadia Steamebip Company will run a boat between the ferry and Annapolis, N. 8., touching only at Eastport and Digby. The steamer Francis, formerly of the New York and Stonington line, has been purchased by the company and will make tri-weekly trips as above designated.— Boston Herald.
