Itis needless to say who were driving these teams, for nearly every person knows that it was some of our gentlemen and members of the legal profession from Charlottetown, out breaking the game laws.

A Correction.

Sir,—In the Summerside Journal of recent date there appeared an article relative tu the Brown Block, in this city, stating that the cost of the Block Was about $60, - 000. As the designers and superio- tendents of the construction of the gaid Block, we cannot allow such misstate- ment to go about without contradiction ; and for the instruction of the person who penned that article, and the public, we will state that the actual cost of the Block, exclusive of land; is about $26,000, instead of $60,009. By put- fishing this as a correction, you will oblige .- Respectfully yours,
