On the ‘‘ Local Situation,” the George- town Advertizer remarks : ‘‘ It may seem hard to see good fat offices ‘ going a beg- ging,’ still, we think, with the prospect of a good harvest before him, no member of the Opposition will take the ‘ bait.’ That's what's the matter.”

How tue Barrie ts Gorne.—As an in- dication of how the great political battle to be fought out out on the 17th is going throughout the whole Dominion, we have but to say that the Opposition have regular candidate in the field for all but eleven con- stituencies, while the Government party have yet some thirty nominations to make.

STaNLEY is claimed by his mother. A Mrs. Eastaway, of Liverpool, England, writes to Every Saturday, a Baltimore literary journal, that she is Stanley's mother, and that she can identify him by peculiar Indian marks upon his arms and a mole on his neck. He was born, she says, in New York on October 25, 1843. His father was a sea captain, and died fifteen years later.

Tue report that the supporters of Mr. Howatt in Tryon, Cape Traverse and Be- deque are going to split their votes in favor of Yeo is simply libellous—a reflection upon the honor and intelligence of the people of those districts.

A very melancholy accident occurred at Lot 48, yesterday evening. Mr. Robert Lund, a respected farmer of that vicinity, was returning from this city with a team. He was sitting on the side of the cart, and when passing the residence of Mr. Alex. Stewart, he was seen by his daughters to fall headlong from the cart. They immedi- ately proceeded to the scene of the accident and found their father lying insensible on the roadside. He was removed to the resi- dence of Mr. John Driscoll, where every effort was made to revive him. Shortly after he fell he said, ‘‘Send for Dr. Jen- kins,” These were his last and only words. Dr. Jenkins was sent for, but before he ar- rived Mr. Lund expired. There was no in- quest held onthe body. It is the opinion ef Dr. Jenkins that his neck was broken by the fall. We deeply sympathise with the bereaved wife and family of the deceased.

Lorp Cotin CampseELt’s ELEcTION.— The contest in Argylshire, Scotland, result- ed in the election of Lord Colin, brother of the Marquis of Lorne (Whig), over Mr. Malcolm, Jr., of Poltalloch (Tory), by a majority of 255. The Scottish papers ex- plain how the election was carried. The people of Argyle nearly all speak Gzeelic, and Mr. Malcolm was imprudent in saying that the Gelic was a borrowed language, and that he would oppose the teaching of Gelic in Highland schools. Lord Colin took advantage of this mishap, and printed 20,000 copies of his address in Geelic, and circulated them broadcast over the county. At his first meeting with the electors, he spoke to them in Gielic,—said he would defend that fine old language in and cut of Parliament ; and said he felt proud of the Highlanders and of their language. This took like a charm, and hence the result of the election.

Tue ‘“‘scupper breezé” which blew from the north-east to-day, was taken advantage of by the Judges who were appointed to de- cide a suitable day for the match race between the yachts Surprise and Agate, owned by ©. Lund, of Charlottetown, and H. C. McLeod, of Georgetown, respectively. Half-past twelve was appointed for the time of starting, and, at that hour, a large crowd assembled on Pownal Wharf. Artemas Lord, Esq., was appointed referee. The word *f go” was given at a quarter to oneo’clock. Quickly the sails were set, and the boats sped off under a mainsail and driver towards the first buoy. Both proved to be clippers before the wind, and until the buoy at Brickmaker’s Point was reached it was impossible to say which boat led. However the Surprise turned a minute ahead and led off in lively style towards the buoy at West River. On pass- ing Rocky Point a slight squall carried off her topsail and flying jib, and she was ob- liged to finish the race under a mainsail and standing jib. Agate kept at close quarters, and turned the second buoy two minutes after the Surprise and did some fine sailing across the mouth of North River. The beating for the buoy at the Asylum Point now commenced. In this the Surprise proved to be more thana match for her opponent, and on every tick a slight gain was perceptible. She turned the buoy at Asylum Point and began the home stretch eight minutes before the Agate, The Surprise maintained a gcod lead, sailed splendidly over the course and finished ten minutes ahead of her opponent,

‘* Ruin or Prosperity ?”

The London ‘‘ Evening Herald,’ in re-

futing Mr. Cartwright’s opinion that the policy of a Government has no effect on the condition of the country governed, aptly quotes the following extract from *‘ Junius”: ‘* The ruin or prosperity of a State depends so much upon the administration of its gov- ernment that to be acquainted with the merit of a Ministry we need only observe the condition of the people. ; . lf we see a universal spimt of distrust and dissatisfaction, a rapid decay of trade. i ; we may pronounce without hesi- tation that the Government of that country is weak, distracted, and corrupt.” And, the Herald adds : ** Had ‘‘ Jnnius” been | writing of the present Canadian Adminis- taation he could not have painted it in truer colors, or given a more graphic description of the condition of the’ country under their rule. Onur manufactories ave closed, our ar- tisans driven out of eimployment, and even the farmers themselves elbowed out of their oun markets.” ,

SYDNEY COAL. REDUCTION IN PRICE !

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC!

FEXNHE GENERAL MINING ASSOCIA.

TION (Limited) beg to intimate to the Public that the price of SYDNEY COAL has been

Reduced to $2 per ton of 2240 Ibs., a price which it is hoped will place it within the reach of all consumers,

The opening of the new winning at ‘‘ THE SYDNEY MINES” and the fact that the SYDNEY COAL now being shipped is all from the DEEP taken in connection with re cent improvements in the process of screening, affords purchasers a positive guarantee of the very superior quality and condition of the SYDNEY COAL now offered for sale.

It is a well-know fact that for many years ast the prices of other Cape Breton coals have een regulated by the rates fixed for SYDNEY

COAL; but while it is true that other coals, to get a sale at all, have been pressed on the market at various prices under the current rate of SYDNEY COAL, it is no less true that, taking into account the superior lasting qualities of SYDNEY COAL when compared with other Cape Breton coals, the advantage, both as to economy and convenience, is in favor of SYDNEY COAL, even at a much higher price.

The General Mining Association (Limited) regret that they should again have to caution the Public against the attempts being made from time to time to induce them to buy in- ferior coals purporting to be ‘‘ EQUAL TO SYDNEY,” “SUPERIOR TO SYDNEY,” etc., etc., while some yet more unscrupulous vendors have not hesitated to advertise their coalas SYDNEY COAL (from some designated locality). All these efforts to sell coal by such means are only so many admissions on the part of those who make them of the sraNDARD character of SYDNEY COAL.

It has come to the knowledge of the Asso- ciation that in frequent instances parties giving orders to truckmen and others for SYDNEY COAL have been furnished with other and inferior coal. ‘The Public are cautioned against permitting themselves to be imposed apon in this way.

Every vessel loaded at THE SYDNEY

i MINES is furnished with a certificate of the

cargo being Sydney Coal. Parties purchasing should satisfy themselves by demanding the production of this certificate.

The ‘‘ Sydney Coal”’ is registered under the laws of the Dominion, and unauthorized parties using the Trade Mark “SYDNEY COAL” are hable to prosecution.
