Well, sir, fire has raged and done any amount of damage in many great cities better supplied with water than you are likely cver to have in yours.

Ch’town, Sept. 25

To the Editor of the Hraminer.

Dear Sizn,—In looking over the Patriot of the 18th inst., I noticed a short letter over the signature of ‘‘ One Who was Pre- sent,” in which the writer takes the Hon. D. Ferguson to task for uttering a false- hood froin his place in Parliament, with reference to the repeal er abolition of the Assessment Act, and in proof of his charges

refers toa public meeting held at Mount Stewart, prior to the late election, at which he says Mr. Ferguson, on being

questioned by Mr. Beer er Mr, Davies, as to whether the Sullivan Govermnent would, if sustained, abolish the Assess- ment Act, veliemently replied in the affirm- ative.

Now, Mr. Editor, | was also present at said meeting, and what Mr. Ferguson did really say was in effect that, if the Sullivan Government was sus stained, the Assessinent Act, as it then stood on the Statute Book, would be ‘ materially alterea” or ‘‘ re- pealed.” This assertion, of course, ‘brought down the house.’ The electors present, evidently seeing there were men at the helm of State, who had some regard for their interests, and, unlike their prede- cessors, Would iuake some move to carry out their well understood wishes ; hence

the applause waich followed.

I can tell ‘‘ One Who was Present’ that what Mr. Ferguson stated at the Mount Stewart meeting was literally cerrect ; «s any man of ordinary intelligence will know that the Suilivan Governinent, notwith- standing that they had to provide for the large deficit left them by the Davies’ regime, repair the damage caused by the great storm, &., succeeded in ‘‘ material- ly” lessening the amount to be collected under the Assessment Act, besides abolish- ing the obnoxious Poll Tax clause, thereby fulfilling the promise made by Mr. Fergu- gon at “Mount Stewart, that it would be ” materially altered or repealed.”

in conclusion, Mr. Editor, 1 would ad- vise ‘* One Who was Present” that in the future, before he characterizes the public niterance of a more honest and straight- forward man than himself, as deliberate lying, he should base his charge on ‘acts, and not, as in the present case, make him- self ridiculous i in the eyes of every honest, intelligent man who listened to Mr. Fer. guson ’s statements at the meeting in ques- tion.

Thanking you, Mr. Editor, for so much of your valuable space,

I remain, yours truly, ANOTHER WHO was PRESENT. Queen’s County, Sept. 24th, i880.

rary always endeavors to aggravate his Opp ovenis when one of his friends are pre- ferred, ana it would be unreasonable to sup- ;pose that he would now keep quiet when thwerted in his mischievous schemes. The

, appointment of : th political sup por ter so sel-

dom occurs under Conservative rule that anyone except a habitual grum bler would be ashamed to cast reflections whenf fone takes lace, but the ‘ Patriot” cannot avoid snarling at whatever happens. We are not familiar with the immediate cause of the by the Government in this inatter; but we hardly think any fair-mind-- ed person will blame them for overlooking ap ‘* Patriot’s choice of a candidate, owing o the provoking course he pursves when an wt ee is chosen from the opposition ranks, , as everyone else has rea- son to be satisfied with the selection, it is of very little importance what opinion the ‘ Patriot” entertains regarding it. But, under the circumstances, we hardly expected to find the ‘‘ Patriot” protesting against i Mr. Mulligan’s appointment when it is re- membered that he was ousted from office in 1876, u ‘pon religious grounds, when the - Patriot’s” frienda wished to reward one of their political adherents. Mr. Mulligan was a faithful officer, and it ill-becomes the organ of a party that ejected him from office for conscience sake to carp at his re- cent appointment. Indeed, it is more than probable that, the “Patriot” would again disqualify him for the same reason, not- withstanding his great liberal pretensions, And, strange to say, he pretends to be one of Gladstone’s disciples. —K.

Funeral adaves

Arithe funeral of William McLean, re- Nova in the

ceutly murdered at Bridgewater, Scotia, the Rey. D. W. Tere course of his address, said :-

‘‘What is the occasion of the Leatibie crime which has brought us here to-day? A strong men in health and the prime of life has suddenly been laid low in death, a wife has been left with a breaking heart, and a helpless family ; four little children have been deprived of the protection of their youth, their bread-winner has sud- denly been cut down, and they stand ex- posed to the dangers of life, from many of which he would have guarded them. Deep gloom has settled upon onr community for iniles around, business has bee almost en- prey suspended for a week, a white man has been raurderee, and a man with a black face, and a blacker heart, has been driven out, a vagabond on the earth under the execration “of men and the wrath of Goa. But what was the cause of all this sorrow and crime? I answer without hesitation —jit was rum! Rum raised the commo- tion, rum inflamed the passions, rum sharp- ened the assassin’s dagger, ayg&thrust the inurderous blow. Men and&ijrethren is this true! ‘This is no time to cali hard names, but lL must say this rum trattic is the most ignoble of all the base_occupa- tions of earth. ‘To see a cripple, with no limbs to support hin, with but one arm, and a slack brain, selling rum would be

bad enoagh; but what shall we say of stalwart amen of active minds, and arms

strong for work, standing behind a counter co deal out liquid puisen to the slaves of appetite, thus inflaming their passions, de- throning reason, and transferming men into sauvage beasts to the terror of the com- munity, and the death of useful citizens. Is it any wonder that the curse of God is pronounced against this traffic / ‘* Woe to him that giveth iris neighbor drink, that puitest ihy bottle to him and makest him drunk also.”

My,dear young men, iny brethers, if any of you have been addicted to intemperance, give it up to-day. For your own sake, for the sake of your loved ones, for the safety and defence of others, not only give it up, but league yourselves against it and rest not until it is banished from our land. If there is a rum seller here to-day, within the sound of my voice, | beseech you in the name of man, 2 the name of God, give it up. The curse of God rests upon your traftic, his curse will rest upon you, will rest upon your family, will rest upon you in time, will rest upon you in eternity, if you repent not, and renounce your body- pHing, soul Jetroying traftic. — Monitor.

Fins.—What might have terminated ina serious fire occurred at Cardigan Bridge on Saturday last, at a vacani factory owned by Carvell Bros.. When discovered the fire was burning rapidly, and as most of the male in- habitants of the village were absent at the time. a serious fire would cereainly have re- sulted but tor the assistance of the women of the place. Arranging themselves in a line, they passed buckets of water along to the few wen on the building, and thus suc- ceeded in gaining the mastery over the tiames, but not until two large holes were burned in the roof. ‘The fire is supposed to have been caused by a spark from an adja- cent Chingy ,+- Adee.
