Tae Hectmers of the Charlottetown En gineer Corps have been received. They are something beautiful, being exactly similar to the helmets worn by the British Marine Ar- tillery at the naval review at Victoria Park on the occasion ot the vice-regal visit. Those worn by privates are brass mounted, with the Royal Arms in front, under which is the inscription ‘‘Charlottetowa Engineers Canada Militia.’ Major Dogherty’s helmet beggars description, being far more elegant than those we have seen at the British military veview en Victoria Park.

Weare pleased to see that the Province will this year be represented at the annual competition of the Dominion Rifle Association at Ottawa. A team of fifteen men will be selected immediately, and wili probably be composed of the following gentlemen, all of whom have shown themselves to be excellent shots: David Harper, 8S. Gay, James Dover, Vernon Longworth, Ewen McDougall, Ewen McGregor, Benjamin Hooper, Lemuel Hooper, R. Crawford, J. Cocmbs, Lieut. Alex. Horne, Lemuel Younker, Matthew Allen.

Ar the annual meeting of the Queen’s Co. Rifle Association held in the Stipendiary Magistrate's Court Room last evening; the following Council of the Association was elect- ed: Major Pollard, Pesident, (re-elected); Major Dogherty. (re-elected); Lieut Passmore, (re-elected); Lieut. Irving, (re-elected) Capt. F. Dogherty, Lieut. Kennedy, Sargt. Ewen McGregor, E. McDougall, Secretary. The regular annual prize meeting of the Associa- tion will probably take place on the Ist of October.

A Geu.—-The following appears in yester day’s Patriot: ‘‘The wharves and bridges are allowed to goto rack and ruin owing to the false notions of economy entertained by the Government.” Worcester gives: an instru- ment of torture, torture, torment, extreme

in, as the meaning of the word “‘rack.” The

ny of the unfortunate wharves aad bridges when they are subjected to the ‘‘rack” must indeed be fearful to contemplate. It is no wonder that Henry Lawson never rose above the rank of a third or lowest class teacher at a time when examinations were merely nominal.

Tuat Sea Serpent.—Mr. E. G. Fuller writes to the Summerside Jowrna/ in sub- stantiation of the story told by the Miminigash fisherman. Hesays: ‘‘Ihe same fish, or a similar one, was seea from one of Mr. Belyea’s boats a few days after. ‘There are numbers of men who have seen fish of this description, and although it may seem unusual to

ple residing inland, it is considered Co dehermen as by no means uncommon. In company with Captain Peter N. Mc- Donald, on board the schooner C. W. Lyle, and James Cantwell; both of Souris, I had the op. rtupity of viewing a fish of the same shape as described by my men, for two hours of a calm afternoon, about two miles off Cape Bear, in July, 1879. The one we saw was fully three times the length of the schooner, and not over one hundred yards distant. The iece that the men brought ashore lay on the lock for two or three days, and was seen by a number of persons in this locality.

Tue steamer Carroll sailed for Boston on Thursday evening with a cargo consisting of 721 barrels and 83 boxes mackerel ; 420 boxes eggs ; 512 boxes lobsters ; 57 barrels codfish ; 4 casks oil and 28 coops fowls—valued at $8267.00.

T’o the Editor of the Examiner.

Str—An advertisement appeared in your paper recently informing the public that the Hon. F. Brecken, one ot the Commissioners for this Province, had received ‘‘a few copies of prize lists,” &c., of the great Dominion Kx- hibition to be held at Ottawa commencing on the 22d Sept. inst., also stating that ‘‘full particulars’ could be had on application to Mr. Simon W. Crabbe, of Charlottetown.” Will you kindly inform your readers if any arrangement has been made to issue half fare tickets frem this Province for the occasion ?

Several leading agricuultrists from here are anxious to know what reduction of fares (if any) will be made. On former occasions of the same kind, tickets at reduced fares were issued. Perhaps Mr. Crabbe, acting for his honor the Commissioner, will publish the re- quired information. The hon, Senator Hay- thorne is also a Commissioner representing the interests of this Province. Mr. Hay- thorne has always manifested a practical in- interest in the agricultural welfare of our farm- ers. Will his honor, through your columns, throw some light on the question of cenvey- ance to the grand National Exhibition at Ot- tawa.

Yours truly,

FARMER. Lot 50, Sept. 4, 1875. ail delle titi MISCELLANEOUS.

The Governor of lowa being urged to pardon a convicted rumseller declined, say- ing, ‘‘ while I have great sympathy for Mr. Newton, | have alswu great sympathy for the wives and children who have been made sufferers by the sale of whiskey to the fathers and husbands by Mr. Newton,”

The following address is being numer- ously signed in Plymouth for presentation to Capt. Carey on his arrival in the screw steamer Jumna:—‘‘We, men of Plymouth, in welcoming you back to your native coun- try, desire to express our entire confidence in your valor asa British officer and your honor as a gentleman, and our sincere sym- pathy with you in the trying circumstances in which yeu have been placed.”

The Canadian Government is employing a considerable number of transcribers to copy what are known as the Haldimand papers, over two hundred volumes of which were acquired by the manuscript depart- ment of the British Museum in 1858. These papers are among the most important con- tributions to the eaaly history of the Dominion, being the literary remains of Lieutenant General Sir Frederick Haldi- mand, K. B., a Governor for many years previous to 1790 of the Province of Canada.

The Pope is about to carry out the re- commendations of his encyclical on the re- turn to the philosophy of Sir Thomas Aquinas. He begins first with reforms in teaching of the schools in the immediate region of the Vatican. A despatch from Rome to a Catholic quarter states that several changes are to be made among the professors of philosophy in the ecclesiastic- al schools of Rome. The same despatch gives an absolute denial to the reports cur- rent in English papers about the bad health of the Pontiff.

A strange and terrible accident, which happened to a worthy young citizen of Mill- brook, Master Dawson Hunter, second son of Capt. Hunter, Clerk of the Division Court, is thus recorded by the Messenger : For some time past, young Hunter has been getting sort of deaf, and his parents have been trying te do what they could to prevent deafness setting in. With this end in view they took him a few days ago to Sykes’ Eye and Ear Infirmary, at Oshawa. While in the air bath, the bath exploded, part ef which struck Dr. Sykes, who was passing at the time, breaking his leg in three places and otherwise injuring him, and covering him with the ruins of the wall. It seems miraculous that young Hunter was not instantly killed, as one side of the great iron box was blown completely out, and through a partition and the wall of the house. At the moment young Hunter thought he was not much injured, but shortly after he went‘into a kind of convul- sion, for a time being insensible. The shock has evidently been too much for his system, as the doctors give no hepes of his recovery. His spine is injured.

A Company or Zutus—an impi, as the correspondent would say— has come to sig- nal griefin Dublin. Encouraged no doubt by the sympathizing tone of the anti-Eng- lish press, these hardy warriors invaded the Ulundi of Ireland, and at one of the great public kraals displayed themselves, their ox hide shields and their terrible assegais to all persons possessed ef the desirable curiosity and the necessary shilling. Busi- ness becoming dull some of the ‘‘friendly Zulus” were sent out in a carriage by their enterprising manager to beat up a public, even as Little Nell was paraded through the town by Mrs. Jarley. Becoming thirsty they stopped like mere Britons at a beer seller’s kraal, and were practically esinpar-} ing the stout of Dublin with the laager of their native country, when along came an old woman whose son had been killed at the rout of the Twenty-fourth regiment. This simple-minded mother gathered an apronful of stones from the newly-macada- mized roadway, and as soon as the Zulu iimpi debouched from the kraal she began bombarding them with rocks, pouring ina musketry fire of curses at the same time with Hibernian vigor. The Zulu shields thus tested proved not to be made of ox hide tough as irou, but of mere painted canvas, and in spite ef the frightful assegais which, when on exhibition, the Zulus brandished so menacingly, they were use- less. The old woman routed the savages
