LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Searcity of Game.

Sin,—It is generally admitted that the scarcity of game, especially of partridge, at this present season has been unprecedented in our P. E. I. history. In view of that fact, I hope that our Fish and Game So- ciety will, at the coming session of the House, move in the matter of obtaining a close season of two years at the least for that species of game. If our partridges get a reat of two years, it will be the means of keeping them on the Island for many years; and if they do not, it is only a matter of four or five years when not a single bird will be found in our woods. I do not think any sensible man wili oppose the granting of sucha respite. Everyone must see how much it is to ovr advant«ge.

Another measure that ought to be put through is one to prohibit the snaring of hares on the Island I do not want to deprive the farmer's chil- drvn of the smal! profit they secure from this; but, at the same time, they, by so do- ing, are ruining all sport for others, The number of hares shot is very small in com- parison with those snared, and where the difference between netting trout and snar- ing rabbits comes in is hard todefine. If sleigh-luads of snared hares are allowed to come to market for two more years, that will settle their existence in this country; and I sincerely hope that our sportsmen will protest, and by their united influence succeed in stopping all this poaching.

Some information as to the method of proceeding in the case would oblige yours truly,

CREEL.

4 STARTLING REPORT FROM TRACADIE BEING LOOKED INTO.

An Ottawa despatch says :—Enquiry at the Agriculiural department elicited the in- formation that Dr. Smith, superintendent of the lazaretto at Tracadie, is still having trouble with alleged leprosy cases. The correspondent of the Is'and Reporter, pub- lished at Sydney, C. B., charges Dr. Smith with criminal negligence, and states that well-known victims of the malady are stil! at large near Englishtown. ‘* All of these except one,” according tothe Island Re- porter, *“‘move about the neighberhood and come in contact with those who are not affected. The affected also make and sell batter to merchants of Euglishtown. These merchants, of course, buy the article, and they in their turn either use it themselves or sell it.” In reply to this charge Dr. Smith, in an unofficial letter to the depart- ment, says that thorough search has been made in the vicinity of Englishtown, with the result that two persons suffering from some cuticular disease were examined, but he did not believe them to be lepers. He says, however, that he has not legal power to compel euspects to submit to an exami- nation, and he cannot therefore pronouace upon cases with absolute certainty, so he will not risk his reputation and his patients’ happiness by committing them to the lazer- etto for life. In his last report he says : ‘* Instead of leprosy making headway it is steadily disappearing. In the early history of the institution it contained twice the present number of inmates. Here, as else- where, segregation is stamping out disease.” But the question is whether strict segrega- tion is being effected, and on this point Dr. Smith complains that the law does not give him sufficient power, and urges that the act be amended. This is likely to come up at the next session of parliament.

were reunited, ovly to be separated again ip a few hours by his disappearance. The daughter now advertises. In 18:9 the father left for the gold fields of California, leaving his wife and daughter behind, Ten years sed and he was pot heard from. The wife died when the girl was 10 years old. James Newcombe, a prominent member of the Norfolk st-eet (New York) church, adopted her. His grandson, now living at 894 ‘ites Avenue, tells the following story: ‘Four weeks ago a cousin of mine in New York was visited by a young woman calling herself Miss Terry, who said she knew Miss Bennett's father. She was willing, she said, to pay $200 for bis daughters address, The daughter is now married, and 1 perfer not to tell her name. The address was given and the couple met, Mies Bennett giving undeniable evidence that she was the daughter. The arting was an affectionate one, and the father agreed to return the next Sund«y Three wecks passed and no hing has beea he rt ef him. Hence I inserted the advertisement. The daughter is almost prostrated with grief and fears that some one is restraining her father from coming to live with her.” A Le ee Hore ror Consumptives.—A Berlin de- spatch says: Prof. Hahn has opened the side of a consumpaive patient who had been

‘under treatment by the Koch method, and

removed from a deep cavity in one of bis lungs some necrotic tissue. The case was one of long standing, but, notwithstanding, the operation was a success. This is the fourth instance on record of such an oper- ation being performed with favorable re- sults.

Patients inoculated with the Koch lymph in Toronto are doing well. Second injec- tions were made on the 7th. The doctors are satisfied with all the symptoms which have so far resulted from the treatment. They expect shortly to receive a turther supply of lymph.

ene anita Letter From Rev. B. Chappelle.

THE LAUNCHING OF THE SHIP,

As I write, the heavy cannoa are thun- dering forth a feu de joie, and between the booming of the guns, 1 hear the music of the band. It all says, **The Emperor has just opened Japan’s first parliament.” **Then the Master,

‘* With a gesture of command,

** Waved his hand ; ***

‘** And see! she stirs!

‘* She starts,—she moves,—she seems to

feel ; ‘** The thrill of life along her keel, “* Aod spurning with her foot the ground, ** With one exulting joyous bound, **She leaps intu the ocean’s arma.” Few, if any, events in Japan’s history, have been more epochal than that which has just happened. It is scarce less than a miracle of history that, in twenty short years, Japan should have advanced from isolation and feudalism to representative government.

The contrast may be illustrated by a cere- mony which took place in Tokyo a few days since. in November, 1840, a Mr. Wat- anabe, an artist, who had chanced to see some foreign pictures, been charmed with them, and in some mild way incorporated some of their features into his own work, was, for this crime against the nation, sea- tenced to commit seppuku, and faithful samurai that he was, oveyed unflinchingly bis lord’s command, (to the fiftietu anniversary of his death, Mr. Suruki, a wealthy oil; merchant of Tokyo, had at one of the temples religious rites and an exhibition of the artists work, and had, in the meantime, erected over his grave an immense slab bearing these words : “‘Disloyal unfilial Watanabe.” To pass from such a condition of society, when almost to look at anything foreign meant death, to the event of to-day might well have taken cea- turies.

Christian missionaries find in the personeile of the legislature much that indicates the working of the Gospel leven. Of the forty millions of Japanese, one in a thousan4 ise Christian; of the three hundred mombers of the House of Representatives, one in twenty- two isaChristian- Further, of these fourteen, three were nominated for high positions, and (special cause for rejoicing), one Mr. Nakashuis, has been elected to the highest office in ite gift, the presidency. This shows that while, in Japan, the Gospel does reach the end i penne it does not oe thern only; also, that there is not among this peuple, a strong feeling against Christianity ; and it also reminds-us of the edict that until lately might be read upon the highways: ‘‘As long as the sun shines and water runs, should any Christian or the Christian's God dare to set a Japan, he will pay for it with hie

e.

The ship is launched, but what shall its future be? When this question is asked, some shake their heads ominously. But we do not fear.

‘In spite of rock and tempests’ roar.

“In sles of false lights on the shore,

**Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea !

“Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our

tears,

“Our faith triumphant o'er our fears,

“Are all with thee,—are all with thee.”

Aoyama, Tokyo, 29th November, 1890.

Holidays in the Schools.

A meeting of ratepayers of Alberry Plains and Vernon River was held in the Alberry Plains schoul house on the 7th inst., to take into consideration the changes that have been made by the Board of Education regarding the hulidays in country schools.

Mr. Martin Hynes was appointed chair- man and the undersigned secretary.

After a few remarks from different speakers opposing midsummer vacations, the following resolution was moved by Thomes P. Richards, Esq.. of Alberry Plains, and seconded by James McDonald, Esq, V rnon River, and unanimously adopter

li} om, the chief superintendent of Educa ion has issued circulars changing the vacations in country schools ; and

Whereas, the said changes would deprive the children of farmers of at least six weeks education in the year, thereby caus- ing a deficiency in the average of scholars, which would result in an increase of taxa- tion, —

Therefore resolved, that this meeting dis- approve of the action of the Board of Education in making these unneccessary changes without the consent of the people ; and

Further resolved, that this meeting ask other districts to express their opinions through the press.

Moved and seconded that the report of this meeting be sent to Tae Examiner to publish, with the request that the Patriot and Herald please copy.
