of his peculations, too mealy-mouthed tot

_ pas got certain bilious-looking fellow, whom we could name if we chose, to write an impertinent letter which appeared in

Haszard’s Gazette of Wednesday, and the Islander of Friday

sat. k had considered it not improbable that Bearney might have escaped public notice until the meeting of the Supreme’ Court in January next, when his appearance 10 the criminal’s | dock — which, we presume, must be enlarged for his reception | —— will be positively his /as¢ appearance before the public. As | the letter referred to concludes with one or two matters recom- mended to us as subjects for the pen editorial, we will answer them briefly, though it may be, more to the point than the partnership of rogues antivipated.

With respect to the crime of perjury, and the dangerous

consequences to society of its going unpunished, we can

| jmagine no more awful instance of it than that of Bearney _ gwearing, as Ae has done, for several years in succession, when _ making his returns to the Government, that he honestly and

$

faithfully expended the public money, while, at the time he so swore, he was conscious of having fraudulently applied much of it to his own private purposes ; and the consequence of such evearing would, if the oath were credited, induce people to be-

' lieve that the sun rose at midnight, that white was black, and _ even that Bearney had paid Carroll for the oatmeal with his ) own funds.

As to the evil effecta on the human mind of drinking, and of delirtum tremens on an editor, Pat and his friend can get a

. full elucidation of that subject from the experienced editor of

Haszard’s Gazette; and should his memory be defective, we

| would suggest a reference to the publisher of the Islander, who | anid his books for drink, and some of whose connexions

occasionally affurd overflowing testimony to the ill effects of excessive absorption — which, in some cases we could mention, manifest themselves in a determination not to keep their friends ia suspense as to their fate, although so far from re- coguizing the necessity of their respective families hanging together, they are never so much cut up as just after having heen cuf down.

The third subject for meditation — female virtue and bas- tardy laws— can be beautifully treated by some of the more prominent of Bearney’s new friends —the Tories; and their illustrations eaa be drawn from the front ranks of the faction, If hastardy laws were in

NORMAL SCHOOL SOIREE.

Proceedings at the Soiree. held for the Inauguration of the Charlottetown Model and Normal School, on Wednesday, Ist October, 1356; and the speeches delivered upon the occasion.

( Reported for the Island Press by R. B. Irving, Esq.)

On our arrival at the building in which the business of the Charlottetown Mudel and Norma! School is to be conducted, we were at first agreeably impressed by the imposing dimensions

| ladies. lt was truly gratifying to all the friends of

THE

Edueation

wesent, who had been actively interested in securing success for the Soéree, but perticulasly to such of them as had been | the promoters of the legislative measures whith have led to the great improvement which has lately been made in the condition of our Island District Teachers, and to the creation of the Institution about to be inaugurated,—to mark the large and respectable attendance of Teachers, some of whom had travelled from 80 to 100 miles, to be present at the inaguration of an Institution, the operations of which, it is earnestly to be hoped, will, in the process of a few years, effect a most material change for the better in the daily routine of our public schools.

Tea being over, the company withdrew for some time to the pla y-ground, to allow the making of some necessary re-arrange- ments previously to the completion of the progamme of the Soiree, by the intellectual entertainment to be afforded by the speeches to be made in the submitting and seconding of certain Resolutions. On the return of the company to the principal room, they found a temporary platform occupied hy His Excel- lency, the Honble. the Colonial Secretary and two or three other distinguished gentlemen. His Excellency, on being

motioned to the Chair by the Hon. the Colonial Secretary,

assumed the same ; and the Meeting was duly organized, the Honble. the Colonial Secretary and J. Lawson, Esquire, the City Recorder, beingon His Excelleney’s left, and the Honble. | Mr. Lord and John MacNeill, Esquire, on his right hand. | The Resolutions submitted to, and unanimously and applau- | sively adopted by the Meeting, are as follows :—

Ist. Resolved, That the system of Free Education now in successful operation in this Colony, under which one-sixth of the whole population is receiving instruction,—and of which |the Normal Sehool is a necessary and vital element, is deserving of the support of all interested in the welfare of the ‘rising generation. Proposed by Honble. W. Swabey, and | Seconded by John Lawson, Esquire.

Davies, Esq.— | Resolved, That the thanks of this Meeting are due to His | Excellency Sir Dominick Daly, for his able conduct in the Chair. | [N. B.

Barrinore, Sept. 21.——A shoeking affair occurred last night at Lomesberger Hill, at the eastern extremity of Baltimore. Two Italian organ-men were found secreted In the ice-house of Col. J. Moybury Turner, by Turner, and a neighbor named Thomas Wollen. Supposing the designs of the italians to be robbery, Turner treated them accordingly, when one of the Italians drew a dirk, and stabbed him and Wollen in the left breast, the instrument entering their lungs, and producing, probably, fatal wounds. Another friend of Turner was_also stabbed in the arm, producing a serious wound. Intense | excitement prevailed among the residents, and it was dificult _to restrain them from lynching the perpetrators on the spot.

yf the presence of the ever-active spirit of improvement anungst us will be a lasting eredit to the Colony ,

We next remarked, with much pleasure, the very excellent arrangements which had been made for the reception and accommodation of the expected company at the tea-tables. these reflected much credit on the Committee of Management. There was nothing about them of extravagant or _needjess display ; but every thing was neat, appropriate and strictly 4a conformity with good taste.

At half-past three the eompany—or rather as many as could be accommodated at once—were summoned to the tea-tables, fourteen 4m all. At eaeh of these a lady presided; and, in acknowledging the services of these presiding gent of the Soiree—if we may be allowed most respectfully so to term them——it is awarding them but a scanty tribute of respect and gratitude, to say that they—one and ae renee themselves of their temporary functions with a grace, politeness and con- descension truly engaging to those to whom they ministered the delightful, soothing and cheering beverage of tea.

As soem as the first section of the company had left the tea- tables, another was summoned in its stead; and the members thereof were received and served by the fair hostesses in as courteous and pleasing a manner as had characterized their teception of, and attention to, their first guests.

The ladies who gave their services and countenance on this

_ Sceasion, have thereby—considering the vast, the inestimable

importance of the object to be promoted by the Soiree—entitled themscives to the grateful consideration and resvect of the whole community.

Upon this oceusion, the prominent services of but a limited number could be accepted ; but, from the well-known philan- throphy and public spirit of the Ladies of Charlottétown and is vicinity, it cannot be doubted that many, besides those who Oficiated at the inauguration of our Model and Normal! Sehool, would have been proud and delighted to have had equal oppor- tunities, with the ladies above referred to, to manifest their tegard for right edueation, and the interest which they take m every thing having a direct tendeney to promote it.

Before the arrival of his Exeellency Sir Dominick Daly, the teutenant Governor, many, both ladies and gentlemen, had sssembled irregularly in the principal room of the institution ; wm His Exeelleney, on his entrance, was received by them with silent but marked respect.

On Monday, the 29th September, as a young man, named Charles Macdonald, son of Mr. Donald Macdonald, Charlotte- town Royalty, was leading a young horse—which was drawing ;a cart—on his father’s farm, the beast took fright, and the man lost all control of him; he still, however, retained his hold, in hope of checking the animal; after a while, passing . between a stack and the barn, he shyed, and the unfortunate |young man was jammed between the end of the shaft and a

corner of the barn. The ribs on the right side were literally crushed in pieces; medical aid was promptly on the spot, but | the internal injuries received were mah that no hope of recovery | was held out.

Liver Complaint.—Mr. James Alderton, cf Three Rivers, was for 18 years afflicted with a disordered liver, nausea and a foul stomach; in addition to these distressing complaints, he was visited by frequent bilious attacks, rendering him entirely unfit for business; he was told nothing in the world would thoroughly cure him, although he had spent a complete fortune in medicine and advice. At last he was recommended to try Holloway’s Pills, which he commenced using; gradually the worst symptoms of his disorder disappeared; and after eight weeks steady ad- herence to the direstions of Professor Holloway, he was entirely cured, and admits that he never before throughout his life enjoyed such good health as he does at present.
