(Special Correspondence of The Examiner.)

Doubtless many of your readers will be pleased to learn of the continued prosperity # this well known institution. There is now alarger attendance than there has been cCurins the corresponding term of any previcus year. Present prospects indi- cate a larger increase than ever before fo: the opening term of ‘93. In anticipation fen ircreas d attendance the old gym. uasiun: has 5 en removed to the rear of the main college building, and converted into a large, commodicus dining hall capable of accommodating over 150 persons. Eight additional students’ rooms will be ready for occupancy at the beginning of next term.

A new and noteworthy feature of our college life is the daily physical culture drill. Init all the resident pupils are re quired to participste. Visitors who have been privileged in #itnessing the drill pro nounce it an ideal method of physical developement. Its various exercises, con- ducted by the accomplished instructor, Miss Landers, are embraced in the original system of the Emerson College of Oratory, Boston, and are now taught by graduates of this college in many of the higher institu tions of learning throughout the United States and Canada. The daily drili affords a most healthful and delightful exercise by which the nervous system is refreshed and invigorated before the regular mental work oi the day begins. Under its present skilful management the physical culcure depart- ment will, no doubt, achieve great success, and prove an additional attraction to the oldest and must prosperous collegiate school in the Maritime Provinces.

All the departments of educational work are here in a high state of efliciency. The musical department is in charge of an able and experienced staff of teachers. Mr. Mack, the efficient and painstaking director, has won for himaelt and his department a most enviable fame in the Maritime Prov- inces, where he is facile princeps among musical instructors. Miss Ayer, the ener- geiic violin teacher, has a remarkable faculty for training her pupils in the difli- cult art of violin playing. As might be ex- pected, her class is increasing rapidJy. Miss Ayer also directs an orchestra of stringed jiustruments—the viola, vielincello and violin.

ladies from the Island yearly avail them- selves of the sp'endid educational advanta- ges which this institution affords. In the musical department Miss Strong, of Sum- merside, and Miss Large, of Charlottetown, expect this year to complete the fall con- ‘secvatory course. Miss Alexander, of Stan- he pe, isa freshman, and Miss Vickerson, of Bedeque, 4 senior, in the regular B, A course. Seniors’ privileges are also enjoyed by Miss Mellish, of Charlottetown, who is taking the M. L, A. course. Miss Morrow, of Souris, has a junior’s status in literary work. Miss Wright, of Bedeque, devotes her time to the study of art and of literary subjects. It is hoped that there will bea still larger representation of lady students from the Island atthe beginning of the jubilee year, January, 1893.

Cardigan Notes.

Although no ice has made in the river, yet produce shipments for this year are about ended. The schr Soudan, DeCost, master, loaded by J F Norton, Esq, and the brigt Caspian, Gordon, master, loaded by James E) Macdonald, Esy, sailed on Saturday morning The Soudan carried 4,700 bushels potatoes, and the Caspian had about 10,000 aboard, and | will complete cargo at (reorgetown.

The social, tea and entertainment in aid of the new hall at Cardigan Bridge is advertized for the 29th December, inst, and the Ladies’ Committee are making energetic preparations! for the event, which will likely be a very suc | cessful affair.

Mr -F D McCormack, the mail carrier for! Montague Bridge, met with an accident on Thursday night by which he was seriously | injured. Oa the way to New Perth his seam | g edrightened at something on the road and) scarted to run near Mr, Alley’s farm. On! turning at Welsh’s corner Mr McQormack w 8 thcown out and seriously injured, and the! runaway team did not step uptil they got to | Roseneath Schoolhouse, where they got en- tangled with a post and batten fence. The wagon was serivurly damaged, but the horses were not much injured) Mr Josiah McNeill kindly took charge of the mails for Montague and carried them over on Thursday night and back on Friday morning.

His Quick Vengeance. THE GUARDS FAILED TO STOP THE ASSASSIN AND HIPPOLYTE HAD THEM SHOT,

The report of an attempt to assassinate President Hippolyte, of Hayti, is confirmed by reliable advices. The would-be assassin was arrested in the place and confessed he was from Jacmel, and that he had come to Port au Prince with the purpose of killing Hippolyte. He said there were hundreds ready to execute the same purpose in case he failed. The prisoner was defiant, and appeared to glory in the attempt, and said he only regretted he had not been success- ful. President Hippolyte was greatly ea- raged, and declared that if his orders had been carried out the assassin could not have gained entrance to the palace, and that the captain of the guard, as well as those who were on guard outside, must have been guilty of criminal collusion, or at least of criminal negligence. The prisoner, having openly confessed hia guilt, should be shot at once, and that the captain of the guard and the sentries who were stationed at the entrance of the palace, who had been obvious'y guilty of treasonable negligence, if not of deliberate treachery, should also bs shot. The crders were forthwith car ried out, and the condemned persops were shot in the garden of the palace. The sen- tinel who detected and seized the assassin was munificently rewarded aad promoted.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, ‘Here is the Rub.’

S1r,— Rather a funny article appeared in the Weekly Patriot of the 8th inst., headed “Tue Examiner's Rumpus.” It seems that because you said a favorable word for a branch railway through Belfast to Mur- ray Harbor, when discussing the question ot the transfer of the 1. C. Ra:lway to the C. P. R. Compauy, it is denounced by the Patrict as an attack on Mr. Davies by the subsidised press. ‘‘Here is the rub,” says the Patro. “Tae Examiner is trying to make capital for Mr. D. Ferguson as a caa- didate for eastern Queen’s County district, which includes Murray Harbor. Our con- temporaly may save itself the | trouble of flying such kites as this.” | Why should the Patriot be 80 frightened of Mr. Ferguson? | do not suppose that you or any cf your readers even thought of Mr. Ferguson when writ- ing or reading Tue EXAMiNneEr’s article ex- cept, perhaps, Mr. Davies, or Mr. Laird, in Mr. Davies’ interest. I .am inclined to} think that Mr. Ferguson, as a leading far-\ mer and as an elector in this district, has as great an interest in, and is as much in touc with the great body of the electors, as the writer of the article in the Patriot, and there is nc doubt that Mr. Ferguson, as well as hundreds of other tarmers in Eastern (Jueen’s, has as much right to aspire to represent his fellow far- mers and countrymen as any lawyer who livesin Charlottetown and whose only in- terest in the district is a few mortgages and lawyer's fees and the ‘‘refreshers” he is able to get from some unfortunate farmer. It does appear passing strange that Mr. Davies should pose as the future representative of Eastern Queen's without a thought or a word in favor of his colleague, Mr. Welsh. We always understood that Mr. Welsh more particularly represented the farmers of Queen's County in the Com- mons, particularly Belfast, where he has had such extensive dealings, and where he has for many years spent so much money for the farmers’ produce, etc. Bar, ac- cording to Mr. Davies’ speeches in the Commons last sessiomn, and the Pat- riot, he, and he ovy, is the man for eastern Queen's, Mr. Welsh’s claims to the contrary notwithstanding. Not only 80, but he ectusliy whined like a whipped child to have th.t Tory section of Murray {Harbor and ine still more objecticnabie Frenchmen of Kus i-o taken out of Eastern Queen's, because, forsooth, if these sections were left on it would only be a dastardly attempt to legislate him out of public life. Could misrepresentation and hypocrisy

left with » grit majority of three or four hundred. Evidently Mr. Welsh has dis. Eee his leader in some way and he must) edged out of the way so as to secure the) return of a more willing follower for Charlotte- town. The Patriot goes on to say that Mr. Laird ‘‘made no mistake whatever in not securing branch railways to Rustico and New London, | Belfast and Murray Harbor. Had branches’ Leen built to these localities by the Dominion they would have been charged to the Island in the Dominion debt account, and this Province would never have drawn interest | from capital at Ottawa.” Will not the Patriot admit that the very same argument holds good in regard to the branches to Souris and Tignish? Was Mr. Laird justified, |

while representing Belfast, in saddling the whule country including his own con-| stituency with the interest on the cost of | those branches, while it would have been wrong | to do the same thing for his own constituency ? If Mevers. Davies and Laird think that there was no mistake made at that time, I can tell then that very few men in Eastern Queen's toeday will agree to that statement. The feeling is almost universal that a gross in-
