Beware! —Few people suapect that a system of adulteration of milk is taking a foothold in Charlottetowa. We saw to-day asample of mii which was not “the Simon pure.” Yet so much like the real was the bogus that the greater portion of the quantity purchased was used before its adulteration was discovered, Where milk is cheap an? plentiful, as it is on P. E. I-land, it is difficult to believe that certaic milkmen become adepta at its adulter- ation. It is, however, the case, and we advise housewives to put on their glasses and in future closely examine the milk taken from

vendors. ne

to Mr. Wm. Dingwe!l. The building is to | be 24 x 38 feet, with a tower 10 feet square | } at the base, 32 feet high, surmounted by a/|

spire 25 feet high. The front door is to

have a Gothic faalight, and each side will have fourjwindows, the end next to the spire | taree windows, all Gothic design. The | body of building will be 15 feet high. The | | site selected—near the Courthouse—is an | | excellent one, and work will be commenced | about the first of July next.

There is alall in active Temperance work just at present. The Alliance is taking a rest after the winter campaign, but next month will begin the good work again. Hickman Lodge is now one of our perma- nent institutions, and is doing solid werk in the Temperance ranks. The meetings of this Lodge are highly interesting, well | attended, and the members are fully alive! to the pleasure and advantages of their | weekly gatherings. Addresses and debates | are neaily always in order, making the | lodge an excellent training school in com- | position and public speaking. Good mem- } bers, excellent officers. and one of the best of Worthy Chiefs—Bro. Maskel!—have made the work which Cul. Hickman com- menced hee last summer, a thorough success.

Natural genius, in a noble direction, is something worthy of every enc: uragement. Miss McCabe, who resides at Souris Head, has wen much favorable comment upon her paintings. Without a lesson, and without patronage, she has produced | ictures, which, to say the least of it, point ta won- derful talent. Your correspondent.had the pleasure of viewing some of them. They possess every essential element, save that fineness of finish, which in most cases can only be learned at a school of art. Under more favorably circumstances, and with half the opportunities which some celebrat- ed painters have enjoyed, the Island might produce a painter, in Miss McCabe, fit to rank with any of them.

There was a dearth of public entertain- ments during the past winter, but the ever pleasant ‘‘sociable’ made its rounds once a fortnight. They afforded a happy way of spending many a long winter evening in pleasant intercourse, and innocent amuse. ment, brivging into play all the kindly feelings of friendship, which touch the picture of life, with an expression of glad- ness, we could never tire of.

The question of the hour is how did the Court House come to be granted for the meetings lately held therein?! That ‘‘Order in Council” seems to be an elastic kind of an arrangement. The Court House was refused for any further temperance meet- ings. Temperance is on the side of law and order, its object one of the noblest men and women have ever worked for, Uniting on agommon platform the respected priest of this parish, and the other clergymen of Souris, together with clergymen from a distance, have led on the rank and file of the Temperance Alliance; yet it seems the Court House cannot be granted for this work, a work which has for its object the suppression of drunkenness and the cause of it; a work which points upwards and heavenwards; for eternal truth tells us that a drunkard pannot inherit Heaven. It just amounts to this —Men’s souls may
