It is worthy of note that since the Island entered Confederation the deposits at the Savings Bank have mere than doubled.—On the Ist of July, 1873, they amounted te about $249,° 11.10.

The Deastitute.

No MORE PRAISBWORTHY AcT can be per-|

formed than the act of relieving the worth) poor, whe are so numerous ainoug Us. I'v years church societies have labored on behalf of thepoor; and they have done geod service in a multitude of cases. But the increase of destitution in this city the present winter is startling. Day after diy we hear of cases which demand the atten- tion of our wealthy and charitable citizens. Mechanics and laborers are every fall cast out of employment, having no prospect of supporting themselves, their wives and families through the cold and bitter win ter. Money they have none. Labor there is none to be had. What is there to be done under present circumstances! They must live on charity—er starve. flecting upon these facts, no doubt, Mayor Dawson summoned our representa- tive citizens to discuss the question of ‘* Labor for the wurthy poor.” ‘The meet- ing of these citizens took place on Wednes- day evening the 14th inst., in the City Council Chamber. Present : Mayor Daw- son, Messrs, (wen Connolly, Robt. Long- worth, F. T. Newbery, F. W. Hales, L. L. Beer, A. Stronach, and D. Farquharson. The question was briefly discussed, and several plans for giving cheap employment to the poor, were suggested. All present seemed anxious to do their best to relieve the distress of the

unemployed. The meet-

ing a journed until Monday night, when plans 2 prespective good work will be laid efers the meeting.

Hints to Farmers.

The American Agriculturist, for January, makes the following practical suggestions, which, if adopted, will be of great value to farmers :—

How do You Stand ?—One cannot lay ont his work to advantage, without koowing pre- cisely how he stands with regard to nis vusi- siness . ’ ° . " ine beyivuing of the year is the appropriate time for ascertaining 1t. irequently aa account vi business is kept ior a month or two, and then negiected. If it is oviy to encouray habits of regularity and perseverance, it will be time well speut to keep au account, not oily of moucy affairs, but a record of events jor every day. This tends tv beget promptuess ani system in every detail of farm work, and in business affairs, that foresight and economy which are everywhere the prime essentials to success,

Keep a Record of the events of each day's work, and farm-life. One of the bovs or girls should do this. A book will be needed, ruled with plain lines, on which to make the en- tries ; put down the condition of the w ather, the work done, aud by whou ; pucchases and sales mule, indiecd, everything that may be needed for future reference, or that sheuld be entered in the account book, whick will thus beco ne a valuable aud interesting record of the farm.

Mase an Inventory :— Put down every thiny you possess, from the farm itself, to tlie sma! tvols and utensils, and value each item fairly. Kuter the money on hand, and also every debt owed. ‘This is the first work in b gi ning an acon t The property « wuaed, @ud imouey on hau, will be ou one side of the account, andthe debts on the other. The bal ance will show just how the farmer stands This account wili be the ‘‘ Account of stock.”

Purchases and Sales, are entered in the daily record, and from that into a purchase and sale book ; except the cash transactions, which gointo the cash book,

The Cash Book.—Every payment and re- ceipt of money for purchases, sales, or for

wages, should be eutered ia the cash book;

this should be done every eveuing. and befure it is forgotten ; all these entries are transfer- red toa ledger to the proper aecoints. The

work is very simple aud easy, and there are} land. . re? ory sae, a)! i ra? : 1 } g farmers’ yirls who keep all their fathers’ ac- | der wheat or various grains, and produced 15!

The editor of the Herald and Third Pro- fessor of the Prince of Wales Cotlege now declares that he had, before this picture was drawn in the Examiner, said ‘* all that 4 meant to say” against the Government and Senator Carvell. We are glad to learn that his intention was so geod. But we cannot be expected to divine the intentions of so multiplex, intricate, and wonderfu ly changeable a nature; and from the fact that. without the slightest provocation, he kept ap for two weeks the attack upon the Govern- ment and the Senator, we inferred that he intended to persist, in the hope, per- haps, of obtaining some additional emo.u- ment or advantage in the excitement which would be created. But, however, this may be, if the editor of the Herald and Third Professor of Prince of Wales College imagined that THe ExaMINER would: ve- frain from taking pe’! against him. while

We are gratitie to note that the editor of the Herald Chird Professor af

Prince of Wales College is beginning to

and realize his true position. . In his article of yesterday he is careful rather to find excuses for his own seurrility than tu denounce aad slander others. His innuendos are so gen- eral in their character and of so neutral a tint, that it is impossible to apply them to any particular person ; and noue of his al- lusions are drawn from the classics of the So remarkable a change is

To the Hditor of the Examiner.

There is a matter I wish to bring to the notice of the public and the P. O. vuthorities through your columns. On Mon- lay last a lady inthis city, who has been in the habit of calling regularly at the Post Office within the last month, received at the Pr, & delivery a letter which had remained in the office for over three weeks. She also received at the same time a card for registered matter, and went to the stamp wicket. She was informed by the Clerk in charge that a letter to her address had been in the ofliee for over a month, and that it was returned last week to the party who sent it. ‘This money letter was expected, and constant visits were made to the. P.O, but the answer each time was, ‘‘ Nothing !’’ This is only one of many cases where parties in this city have had to wait days, and even weeks, after. arrival of mail, before they covld get their letters. Should the Postmaster feel disposed to investi- gate, the name cf the party so shamefully treated, avd referred to above, will be handed him. Yours, &c.,

ONE oF THE DISAPPOINTED.
