Ho just spoke of country, and townsand men and things as he saw them while on his trip. His course lay through Salem and Boston, New York and Niagara, Lake Huron and Lake Superior ;

Carruthers and L. W. Watsen, Esq. The Rev. J. Read presided. The first resolu- tion, which was as follows, was proposed by Fred. E. J. Liyod, seconded by Weston-Jones, and carried

What's Wanted,

ForTUNATELY it is not now necessary that the whole town should turn out to a fire ; and, therefore, it is not now absolutely necessary that the whole town should be larmed by the fire bell. What is wanted in this regard is an alarm which will rouse quickly the most active of the firemen— particularly those who live in the vicinity of the fire for which the alarm is sounded.

'o place a few active and trained firemen tipea the ground in the shortest possible this is the object to be attained.

For this parpose we must have an electrical

time

lire alarm, the firemen must undergo some special instructioa and drill in the use of implements required tu turn on the water at the hydrants and in laying and connect- ing the huse; and we ought to have—be- sides a good supply of hose and reels at the

central

station—a few hose with

wrenches, etc., and men to operate them, in or hear the outskirts of the town, at pomts which cannot be quickly reached from the ceutral station. When these are procure!, our Fire Department will be as periect as need be, and only care and ac- tivity will be required at the pamps and on

he part of the firemen to render the city tas safe from fire as need be.

n ak The Opposition papers are crowing about ‘the victory in Haldimand.” <A

consideration of the facts will show that there is nothing to crow about. In 1872 amd in 1874 Haldimand elected Grit candi- lates by acclamation. In 1878, with two Grit candidates in the field, the Conserva- tive candidate was 166 votes behind. In is62 this Gmt majority was reduced to 156. in Sept., 1886, there was « by-election which again gave a Grit majority of 115. At the genera! election of February, 1887, young Dr. Montague was returned by a Liberal-Conservative majority of one over Mr. Colter, the Grit candidate. This elec- tlon wag voided by the courts; and at the second by-« lection in November, 1887, Dr. M ntague was again elected by a majority of ¥ . un the ground that a farmer's son, wio had since the revision become pos- wased of property, had no right to vote for ‘y- Montague as a property holder, this sition was also voided by the courts. At bleViird by-election held on Wednesday, remolter was elected by a majority of 39. mai* humen devices” by which this little delpity was gained have mot yet appeared,

ating such an imstitution.

Moved by the Rev. W. A. Crawford- Frost, seconded by D. M. Fraser, and car- ried after a good deal of useful discussion, that

‘* This meeting having adopted the principle that a permanent Musical Society is of the greatest advantage in furthering artistic taste, etc., itis hereby resolved that such a Society be and is now formed, of which as many of those present as may desire shall he charter members, and shall proceed to select provi- sional officers and a committee to make all preliminary arrangements, such as the secur- ing of rooms, etc,, such committee to report toa subsequent meeting of the Society at a date named by themselves.”

Reference was made by some of the gen- tlemen present to their experience of Choral Societies in the past, and it was clearly shown that unless the proposed Society was formed upon a firm basis it would share a fate similar to theirs.

A provisional committee, in accordance with the requirements of the foregoing resolution, was then appointed, consisting of the following gentlemen :—Rev. W. A. Crawford-Frost (Convener), and Messrs. W. E. Dawson, H. Haszard, J. Logan and Prof. McLeod.

More Indian Troubles.

ALTHOUGH this was Scott Act day at the Police Court, there was but a very small at- tendance, and no interest seemed to be taken in the cases. The Prosecutor was late in arriving, and the witnesses were later. The first case called was one that has been before the court for some months, and which has been adjourned owing to the absence of a witness whom Mr. Henderson from time to time undertook to produce **next time.” The witness in question is, or was, an Indian, and the defendant’s law- yer some time ago informed the court that there was nu use postponing the case as the Indian had gone to Shediac to visit his friends for the winter. The Magistrate re- fused todismissthesummons, andgtated that he would continuethe case until the Indian returned home. This morning the matter came up again, but the witness was still absent, and Mr. Henderson asked for an- other adjourument, whereupon the defend- ant’s lawyer moved to dismiss the prosecu- tion saying this was the otenth time that he had been there which had put his client to considerable expense and annoyance, and also that there was no hope of obtaining the witness ‘‘ in person”, as, since his departure for Shediac, he had gone to another place known among his brothers as the ‘* happy hunting ground,” whence he could not return if he desired, and he therefore thought that the case should be dismissed unless Mr. Henderson would per- emptorily undertake to goafter the Indian, in which case he would consent to another adjournment. Mr. Henderson declined to do this, stating that it was the policemen’s duty to execute the processes of the Court. The Magistrate asked the learned Counsel by what road the witness had gone to his new abodo, and if it was quite certain he would stay there. The counsel stated that he had gone by water via @ crack in the ice and had gone the night before last. The Magistrate granted theadjournment, saying that, in his opinion, the Indian had not been gone long enough to justify him in believing he would stay. He had been called upon a short time @go for a subscrip- tion to kelp bury an Indian boy who his father said had died. Quite a number of other gentlemen had also subscribed and a goodly sum was collected for the. bereaved parent to defray the fuveral expenses, but strange to tell, the dead boy must have come to life again as he was seen in town last week. The Indians being curious people, whom one could not depend on etay- ing dead, he would adjourn the case for one week to give the witness a chance to come back.

Several other cases were then called, three of which were dismissed and one ad-

matter of a tire alarm should be the ques- tionof an hour. Why not the Board of Firewardens cause a meeting of the City Council to be called at once for the purpose of discussing the necessity of a proper alarm ?/ or let a deputation from the tax- payers do the same thing. Special meet- ings of the City Council have been called ivr far less important business. I do not see the reason why, with a copious supply of water and a body of tiremen willing at any moment to answer the call of duty, the Council should hesitate one moment from taking immediate action. In fact it is but a small measure of justice due the firemen and the citizens as well. I hope, Mr. Editor, that the work of suggesting and agitating is over and that the Council will take immediate steps to remedy this griev- auce. Thanking you for your valuable space, | remain, ‘ A Fireman.
