\dvices from Digby, N. S., dated Jan. 12, are s follows: A large shipment of live bsters was forwarded by schooner to-day n Petite Passage to Weymouth, for Bosten | and New York markets via Yarmouth. The lobsters, which are packed in cases for the
lately con
purpose, were taken from the pond structed by the Harris fish mpany at Long Reach or Petite Passage. This pend, which is partially natural and covers at high water jabout twenty-five acres from ten to twenty feet deep and fifteen acres at low tide, with water betweeu five and ten feet ia depth, is connected with St. Mary’s bay by a canal some 150 feet long, 17 feet deep and 25 feet wide, walled up with squared timber. A {natural tide-way always existed here. Tie fish are drawn vy rue of water at tlow of tide through this canal into the pond, where they are detained when the water recedes by a sort of beeakwater. The pond has a capacity of half a million lobsters and was opened up |during the past year by the company as an | experiment, at a cost of some $19,000, to see if this curicus natural trap could be utilized.
Sufficient time has not yet been allowed to state positively whether the success which is expected will be attained, but enough has al- ready been seen tu indicate that at no very dis- tant time the company will possess a paying Some 40,090 lobsters are about taken from this pond for shipment to American markets. Westmorland is doing a good thing in the lobster business a'so. 150 cases of live fish were forwarded via Yarm uth to Boston and New York Saturdav by Capt
J. D. Payson and other like shipments are } soon to follow. - ~-_-.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Hew te the Line.
Srx,—It seems from the bad temper and worse logic of this morning’s Guardian, that the ‘‘cliyue” has been disturbed by the exposure of the HxaMINer’s article yester- d ay headed Jole and Corner Politics. Wo; are told with brazen effeontery by the, clique’s organ that the meeting to arrange preliminaries for the civic election was held in the Board of Trade Room Not much of ahole in the corner, says the organ of the Board of Trade Secretary! Trae, the members of the Board of Trade were pro- mised that their psid offisial, Secretary Higgs, would have the room cpan for the reception of members only during given hours, and not to be at the disposal of out- siders or ‘‘cliques” of any descriptios. No under that the Board of Trade members|} have become disgusted with the manage- ment and do not feel disposed to continue any longer to pay fur a furnished room, which is nothing short of a hole and corner fora favored few, at which you can rap as often as you choose but you will response from any hand or lf the “Ram Party,”—as

ne DS Mayoralty.
Sin,—-It is refreshing to note that citi- zans generally are alive to the more than ordinary importance of the approaching | civic election. The amendment to the Act of Incorporation passed during the last ses- sion ofthe Legislature, providesthatthe Gov- ernment of the city shall be vested in one} principal officer, namely the Mayor, and | eight common councilmen, in place of ten, | xs formerly, who shall bo severally elected | as follows. viz,, one councillor for each of | wards one, two and three, two for ward} four and three for ward five. Those radi- cal changes in the constitution of the city will necessitate the adoption of new by- | laws and other important changes in ovr} civic government. The fact that ia a'l| probability the greater pumber of the new council board will be inexperienced in civic matters, the greater, therefore, the neces- sity of re-electing Mayor Haviland, whose long experience at the bar and in the Ls- gislature of this his native province, to- gether with the fact that he has occupied the honored position of Mayor of Char- lottetewn for several years im succession, pre-eminently qualifies him for the im- portant position of Mayor at a time when his knowledge of constitutional questions and of the laws which regulate municipal affairs will be required in the reconstruc- tion of the civic government under the ict of incorporation. Under present cir- cumstances, therefore, it would be exceed- ingly injudicious to make a change in the oftiee of Mayor.
