Protection of the Fisheries.

Our fishermen ought to be well support ed in their demands that the use of the and the ‘*

hibited in Canadian waters. The history of the fisheries shows that these things are utterly destructive of the profits as well as When they are used Where they

Currents on our Coasts.

We are glad to learn that the importance of making systematic observations, with the object of determining the unknown cur- rents in the coast waters of Canada, is being urged upon the Dominion Govern- ment. Professor MacGregor, of Dalhousie College, shows the importance of this in a letter to the Halifax Herald :—

** A shipmaster befogged on our coast has at present only two methods of finding out the

miJect of currents on the position of his ship. weemay (1) take soundings; but owing to

tide Tables for ts.’ These tables, give not only the ag the change in the

t» the rise and fall of the tull information about the cur- waters round the British islands, uue to the tides or to atmospheric such as winds. To make use of this in- mation it is only necessary that the naviga- tor shoald know his position before the fog came on. From his table he is then able to determine the state of the tide, and kaowing the state of the tide to determine also the direction and rate of the current and the change it will produce in the position of his ship. This information is found to be of the utmost value by ships navigating the coast waters of Britain, and as the same information may be obtained for the coast waters of Can- ada by a comparatively small expenditure, it is obvious that the committees referred to above should receive the support of all our shipping people in urging its importance upon the government,” The people of the Maritime Provinges ought to be deeply interested in this mpve- ment. What says the Charlottetown Board

of Trade?

6<co<«d oro

—Advance sheets of the trade returns for the fiscal year euded June last, show the exports to be $89,000,000, the imports $115,250,000, and the duty collected $23, 750,000. The increase of trade has been princip lly with the United States, West Indies and Svath America, and aggregates nestiy six millons a3 compared with th previous year, A new table has been added, showing «ie value of foreign goods trenshippe i tireugh Canada, amounting Jast year to con and « qu ater onliions, an inceease of one hundred per cent durin: the past four years. The percettage ci duty on tots! im ort» is 20,60 ; the customs duty per capital 4.68; the expenses of cui- jection 3 G2, the latter being a littie more than half what it was at Coniederation.

Hon. James Clow, Murray Harbor, was at the Osborne to-day.

Mrs. John Lefurgey, Summerside, and Mr. William Lefurgey are in the city en route to Pensacola, Fia,, where they will spend the winter,

A Lizarp Near Her Heart.—Robert Barr, of Barr's Settlement, Nova Scotia, noticed about the first of September that one of his cows showed signs of iilness, decreasing the flesh and the amount of milk lessening. The owner did all he could, but despite his efforts the animal grew worse, and about two weeks avo she died. As no one seemed to be

able to tell what had been the trouble with the cow, Mr. Barr made an examination of her and outside the lining of the heart he found a live lizard 5$ inches in length. The heart was tice its normal size and grea ly discolored.— Yarmouth Times,

Last Night's Concert.

The Christmas Entertainment by the children of the Methodist Sunday School attracted a full house last night, as it always does.

The anthems by the choir were well rendered considering the small number of singers, and the weakness of the male parts. Surely this was not the whole choir of such a large church. The children were much helped in their carols by a small orchestra under Mr. Vinnicombe.

The gem of the evening was the ‘* Ave Maria,” played on violin, piano and organ, by Miss A. Moore and Messrs. Vimaicombe and Heartz. We have rarely heard Mr. Vinnicombe to better advantage than in this piece, and also in his violin solo last night. It did one good to see the eyes of the delighted children follow every move- ment of his magic-working bow.

The sextette by young ladies of the school was a pretty piece and very sweetly sung.

Mr. Fletcher's cornet solo without valves was unique, and pleased the little ones amazingly.

The recitations were good, Little Miss Pope said her piece to perfection.

The management was not all that could be desired. The various parts of the pro- gramme were crowded on one another without mercy, as if the great object were to get through with things in the shortest possible time.

It was also the general opinion that a response should have been allowed to some of the many encores that were called for.

A vote of thanks-was tendered Mr H. L. Heartz, the musical director, for the time and pains he had given in preparing the concert. The good effects of his training were plain, especially in the boys’ singing. It isto be remarked that all the boys and girls were not on the platform, A _ promi- nent corner was occupied by a group, old enough to know better, whose loud talking and ill-bred conduct during the Concert was anything but pleasing to those around them.

The piano was kindly furnished by J. F. Willis & Co.

Beautiful and Costly Altar.

By Tuesday’s boat Mr. McNeill, of Cintrab & McNeill, Montreal Marble and Granite Works, arrived in the city and went to Alberton yesterday to erect the beantiful and costly altar in white marbie recently purchased in Montreal by the Rev. Father Burke for the Sacred Heart Church. The altar is of white marble with pillars and panels of colored marble, and is from the chisel of the late M. O’Brien, of Montreal, the most celebrated worker in marble in the Dominion. Mr. O’Brien has executed the most elaborate and expensive altars for many of the beautiful churches of Canada and the United States. This one is gothic in style and magnificently designed nd finished. We are assured by Mr. Me- Neill that it couldn’t be made in America to-day for $1800. By singular good fortune it was secured at a much lower figurg™ from the executors of the Y*Brien estate and thus Alberton comeg-into possession of the mons _ beautify “and valuable altar in the Maritimy, frovinces. Having been recently Onyefied and painted Father Burke’s Church with its commodious and well-appointed new vestry, magnificent altar and fine new Stations of the Cross is the handsomest wooden church in the diocese. We con- gratulate both pastor and people on the good work they have done during the past year.

Examination of New Glasgow School. The semi-annual examination of New Glasgow Grammar School was held on the 23rd inst. The parents and visitors present tovk a lively interest in the proceedings. At the close of the examination, remarks were made by the Trustees and others, who expressed themselves as well pleased with the progress made, and the manner in which the pupils had acquitted themselves, and made special mention of the excellent order that prevailed and the pleasant rela- tions that manifestly existed between teachers and pupils. A prize to the best student, awarded by the Principal, Mr. Morton, was won by J. H. Stevenson. Fruit and confectionery were then liberally distributed among the pupils by the visitors. VIsIToR.

maintenance and improvements which are all enjoyed by the citizens generally. Nay, further, our merchants have their bills for light, wages, &c., to pay for? twelve months, while our itinerant visitors concentrate their catering to the wishes of the public into one manth’s expenses; hence it is manifest that a high license to hold such-gaies even if conducted by local auctioneers, should be imposed upon all other than bona fide citizens. One must speak with delicacy about those of our JEWEL CASES merchants who take up this line of busi- ie ness at this season only, for different opin- ’ ions may be entertained as to the propriety of the proceeding, but certain it remains that some action ought to be taken in the near future to protect the legitimate trade of the city, or it may happen some year that our citizens will depend upon the regular shop keepers ior their holiday goods, and find that, disheartened by unprofitable investments, they have not imported stock and no peddlers are at hand to supply the deficiency.

To charge those who already pay taxes a further expense of a license and leave them the onus of protecting themselves by prose- cuting adventurers, would be manifestly unfair and only intensifying the grievance; but a civic regulation should be framed of such discrimination and comprehensiveness that all visiting oppositionists to the regu- lar trade of the city could be visited with such an imposition of expense that they would find the place too hot for them in the genial warmth of the Christmas festival.
