LEFPERS TO THE EDITOR. { ~—-.e-

A School Suggesticn.

Sir -—lIt is the aim of modern educa- tionalists to infuse a spirit for rural pur- suits in the minds of children attending school in the country, and perhaps the city too. This is as it should be, as we are solely an agricultural province, The Board has done well. in putting a book in the curriculum bearing on this subject. What is necessary now i3 to go a step further and make this embroyo moveinent practical, by putting into the hands of the pupils, farm, garden and fiower seeds, so that they may experiment on the knowledge gained from the text book, and also create in their minds a love for agriculture. Furbell tells us that theoretical education is of little nse without the practical. Now, what I suggest is that seeds be distributed, at the expense of the Government, in the school district, among the pupile of each school, to be divided by the teacher about the first of May in each year. A nice selection of vegetable and flower seeds, sufficient for one school, would not cost more than two dollars, possibly less, The pupils, during the spring vacation, would have ample time to sow and cuitivate the seed gratuit- ously given them. A competition would spring up among them, one vieing with the other in growing the largest squash, turnip or tomato, or the most beautiful, hardy, annual flowers.

The Scots Act in Kino’s.

Sir,—For the encouragement of the Temperance party throughout the Island I sive below, as near as I can ascertain, a list of the work done by our prosecutor, since his appointment :—

At Souris—Sarah Cantwell, one case, convicted and fined $50 and costs; Allan Boisner, one case, convicted and fined $50 and costs; James Moy- nagh, one case, convicted and fined $50 and costs; Mary McDonald, two cases, convicted and fined $59 each and costs,

At Dundas—Alexander Martin, two cases, con- victed and fined $50 each and costs; Philip Francis, for tampering with a witness, convicted and fined #50 and costs; Ronald’ McKenzie, for tampering with a witness, convicted and fined 850 and costs.

At. Avendaie—Isabella McAuley, two cases, convicted and fined $2 and costs.

At Morell—Jane Dingwell, one case, convicted and fined $50 and costs.

At Georgetown—James Bourke, two cases, con- victed and fined $50 each and costs; John Mc- Kinnon, late Chief Inspector and Prosecutor, three cases, convicted and fined $50 each and costs.

At Montague Bridge—John J. McDonald, two cases, convicted and fined $50 each and costs; George Weatherbie, one case, convicted and fined 350 and casts.

At Sturgeon—James O°Connor, one case, con- Victed and fined $50 and costs.

Besides the above Mr. Clay has. finjshed up a lot of work begun by his predecessor; such as executing warrants of commitment and collecting fines, altogether, a pretty good showing, I should say, for three months. But whether he is ever to be paid for all this I cannot sey. But this I do say, that if the tewperance people do not exert themselves to sustain him by every lawful moezns possible, and at the same time see that he is in some way, at least, fairly remunerated, they cannot long expe~t his services, as, with all his ability, he is not able to live on the wind. We have evidently got the right man in the right place at last; and all that is now wanted is ‘‘a long pull, and a strong pull, and a pull altogether” to hold up his hands and sus- tain him in his arduous and diflicult task, when, I trust, by the help of the Almighty, we shall soon succeed in trampling out the dreadinl and blighting cause of intemper- ance in King’s County. Yours, Scorr Act.

Dundas Notes.

Your correspondent, “‘Wildfire,” of the Srd inst., is full of gross statements and not reliable, and should not be countenanced as such—; Itis a tirade of fabrications from beginning toend. ‘‘Mr. Stewart Hunter’ has not joined the army of benedicts, neither has Mr. Charles Clay any notion of starting a singing school. I guess, in his younger days he would be quite capable of doing so; but now, in hig declining years, he has not the least notion of such things. The next time your correspondent endeav- ors to enlighten the public, I hope he will stick to the truth and the truth will stick to him. ;

A grand literary entertainment was given at Albion Cross School House on the 3rd, under the able management of Mr Cameron, Teacher, who is very capable of conducting such; music and recitations were ably rendered, and able speeches interspersed with sweet ballads, delivered by Thomas Clay and C. E. Batt, Esquires ; and another is under consideration soon.

Revs. A. B. McLeod and A. 8S. Stewart preached abie and eloquent discourses on Sabbath, the 13th,to a large and respectable congregation.

Mr. Archibald McLean has opened out a ful! store of dry goods and groceries, and expects doing an extensive business, not- withstanding the NP.

ing a rushing business, and says that iron waa never so cheap, and the N, P. does not ipjure him.

William McLeod has invented a patent

for a new mud-digger, which he thinks will be a great boon to the lovers of the shell, Our popular Superintendent of Educa- tion is expected out here soon to establish a new school on the Launching Road, which speaks volumes for the able manner in which our educational system is carried out by him. Some of the black ducks are flying around here yet, waiting for the spring, and your correspondent, ‘* Wildfire,” is busy gather- ing their scattered feathers.

Black Bush Debating Club.

OLIVER.

The regular meeting of the Club was held on Friday evening last. Besides the mem- ‘bers, there were quite a number of ladies ,and gentlemen from adjacent districts in ‘attendance. ‘The subject for debate, ‘Who endures the more hardship, the Soldier or ithe Sailor ®” was opened by Mr. J. A. Mc- \Donald without taking any side, aftr which the envfferings of the Soldier were elucidated by James McPhee, Esq., Jas, Morrlaon, Eeq., J. J. McPhee (Teacher), Donald Leslie and the President. Theo hardships of the Sailor were described in glowing language by Clement McDonald, Esq., Alex. Montgomery, Esq., J. A. Me- Donald, Esq., Charles Morrison, Esq., and Jas. Currie.

On motion, it was decided by an over- whelming majority that the Sailor suffers the greater hardship. It is worthy of note that the minority consisted only of the speakers on that side,

A vote of thanks was tendered the stran- gers for their presence and hearty co- operation, after which the meeting dis- persed.

Scott Act Conviction.

On the 16th inst., before John T. Weeks and Henry Gordon, Esqs., Jastices of the Peace for Prince County, the Hon. Richard B. Reid, J: P., was fined $50 and costa for violation ef the Caneda Temperance Act, 1878. In the casa, Mr. Reid pleaded that the person to whom he sold the four bottles of whiskey on the 12th and 13th inst., re- presented that he wauted the medicine for one Donald McArthur who owned a medi- cal certificate; that the late Licence Com- wissioners lad not cancelled his licence, and that he would still sell on medical cer- tificates. But this plea only exposed one more of the dodges reserted to by Mr. Reid to evade the law.—Com.

*The Moon and Us.

+ ~~

The moon has always been a favorite subject of study among astronome’s, on account of its proximity, and because it is the only heavenly body, with the excep- tion of the sun, that exercises an op- preciable influence upon our planet. Prof. Young says that the lunar temperature is one of violent extremes. In the dark spots, under the shadow of the lunar Alps, it is calculated to be about 200 deg. below zero; while in the localities exposed to the sunlicht, the temperatnre of boiling water is supposed to prevail. Beyond her influence upon the tides, the moon has little power in earthly affairs, in spite of the popular belief in her disturbing actiun upon the human brain or her germination of the sown grain. Were she annihilated, the temperature of New York, Prof. Young said, would be reduced one degree. In her present orbit, however, she has absolutely no influence upon the weather. In con- clusion, the lecturer begged artists noi to paint their cresent moons upside down, as Hogarth has done in one of his pictures.

Wounded Thirteen Times.

In an attempt to capture David Shotly, an insane man, near Shirley, McLean County, Ill., om the 18th, Levi Shotly, a brother, was fatally shot in the breast by the lunatic, who also shot Mrs. Levi Shotly in the neck, breast and leg, and her daugh- ter in the wrist. The msane man then fired the barn with a match, destroying it, involving a loss of about $10,000. The whole neighborhuod was aroused and searched the woods. Next morning the charred bones of the lunatic were found in the smoking ashes with his revolver and a gun barrel beside him. His brother, Levi Shotly, is unhurt, the regolver ball lodging in his clothing. Mrs. L€vi Shotly received thirteen wounds in the neck from a gun charged with missiles ranging from bird shot to rifle balls. Sho will die.

Holding the Fort.

When the Chinamen were driven out of Snowbomish City, W. T., those who had property interests were made an exception, being allowed to remain. They were noti- fied at that time, however, that they must leave on Monday. On Monday last, when told to go, they refused, saying they intend- ed to remain. Late that night e dynamite cartridge was exploded under cheir house,

Our good Blacksmith, P. Francis, is do-| wrecking the building, but not ipjoring the

'Chinamen. The latter pluckily moved into | portion of the building that was not des- troyed, and reiterated their de‘ermination to stay. On the 19th a number of shots were fired into the house, but none of the loccupants were injured. At last accounts ‘they were atill holding the fort, and declar- ing they would not leave.
