| In Memoriam.

It is with sorrow we have to record the death of Donald McLeod, Esq., who departed this life on Monday morning, the 3rd inst,, at the mature age of 88 years. He was a native of Invernesshire, Scotland, and emigrated to this Island about 50 years ago, and settled on a farm in the district in which he died. His kindness, integrity, and cheerfulness gained for him the love and respect of all his neigh- bors and acquaintances. He was a consistent member of the Presbyterian Church, but of late years was unable to attend the public worship of the sanctuary. Prepared for the end, resting on the finished work of Christ Jesus, he departed this life to be with Christ forever. He leaves a sorrowing widow and three sons to mourn the loss of a kind and loving husband and father, but their loss is ‘his eternal gain.—Com.

Foolish Litigation.

S1r,-—The utter folly of going to law and spending large sums of money over 18 inches of land, as instanced of the Johns- ton’s River farmer in THe Examiner of the 16th ult., must be patent to every sensible man. The case, however, is not without a parallel, and although slight the cause, slighter still have engaged the wis- dom of our courts. [ shall mention but oue. A farmer in repairing his line fence cut the tops of afew small trees growing up in the line, and forthwith his neighbor has, or fancies, he has a case of trespass. Some two years have passed since venerable judges have honored this ** bauble” with their solemn deliberations, and already large expenses have been incurred by both parties. In the meantime, the trees—the better of having been trimmed—have so grown and flourished that almost all traces of the original cause of litigation have been obliterated. It is thus nature makes use of the cloak of charity. It would be well if Christian men would imitate ber in this respect by not only forgetting their little wounds, but even so covering the impres- sion themselves as to almost conceal them.

It is to be regretted that men are so blinded by passion as to heedlessly plunge into expensive lawsuits over mere trifles ; but what are we to think of the legal ad- visers who encourage them? I have no de- sire or intention to cast reflections on the honored profession of the law, but 1 cannot torbear thinking that an honest, upright lawyer could do much, if he so willed, to avert ruin from the door of the misguided farmer who seeks his direction,

A few days in court, however, and the ‘* bauble bursts.” The *‘* scales” fall from the deluded man’s eyes when he sees the price of his hard labor transferred to the pockets of his lawyers, or quietly absorbed by the court. As he quits the scene of his discomfiture a poorer, if not a wiser man, 4 thought still remains from which he may derive some solace. It is that he has vin- dicated the character of ‘‘ plucky ” ascribed to him by his astute adviser.

A REMARKABLE CAREER.—the annals of crime do not contain anything much more re- markable than the story of a woman who has spent twenty-two years of her life in Eng- lish prisons for theft, the sum total of which do not amount to more than two dollars @nd a half, or twelve and a half cents per annum during the time she has been deprived of her liberty. Thirty years ago, when a child, she was sentenced to a years imprisonment for stealing a few cents worth of butter. Short- ly after her release she was again arrested, and this time was sentenced to seven years’ imprisonment for a similar offence. Ono her release she was again arrested, and this time got seven years with hard labor for taking a small quantity of butcher’s meat. That term expired, and a third term of seven years was inflicted for stealing a duckling.

New London Notes.

On the evening of the 30th December last, a number of the leading horseman of New London and vicinity presented Mr. Robert Fitzsimmons with a beautiful set of track harness and an address, showing their ap- preciation of the valuable services rendered in establishing, by his careful and intelli- gent breeding, a family of horses second to none in the Maritime Provinces, and placing their services so low that a!] could reach them, while more than twice the amount is charged for inferior horses. After speaking of the great opposition Mr. Fitzsimmons had to contend with through the combined efforts of newspapers and in- terested horseowners, and that though he stood alone he had achieved greater success than ever fell to the lot of any other indi- vidual {in the history of our Island, the address went on to say: ‘“‘It is not our in- tention to enumerate the many victories on the turf of this noted family, or even men- tion the inestimable advantages P. E. L. has derived from your valuable horses. But we cannot omit speaking of that last and brilliant victory at Charlottetuwn last October, when the best three-year-olds in the provinces were to start—when the honor of our Island horses was at stake—it afforded us very much pleasure to witness the gallant victory of your game filly, Island-bred to the fourth generation. She not only easily defeated all comperitors, but made the best three-year-old record ever made in the provinces.” After offering their congratulations and asking him to accept the gift, not judging it by its intrinsic value but as an evidence of their esteem, they concluded by wishing him many, many victories and blessings.

Mr. Fitzsimmons said they had taken him so much by surprise that he feared he could not tind words suflicient to express his gratefulness. He thanked them in a two-fold manner, first for his country and secondly for himself. He said that until lately an Island bred horse however great, received so little encouragement to what the imported ones did (that was no better perhaps far inferior) that he ofter thought of the proverb: *‘A man may be a Prophet anywhere save in his own country,” but he was happy to stand contradicted by to- night's proceedings.

This should encourage others as well as himself to greater effort in keeping up the name of our Island horses. He said though the means taken by some to injure his horses were very unjust, still, they did him some good, for were he left to himself he would scarcely ever leave his farm-work long enough to prove the speed of his horses. It also proved their greatness, for no one ever went to such trouble to cry down horses of no merit. The only injury they did him was in keeping away the best blooded mares. In this they lost no opportunity, for they knew the success of any stallion depends greatly on the kind of mares he was matched with, and that the horse that produced so many fast trotters from draft mares could not be kept down under more favorable circum- stances. But the hounding down of great horses can only last for a time. People begin to see for themselves true merit will assert itself, ‘‘and the fittest will survive.”

He was glad to find that his horses had done for the country all he had advertissd them todo. Mr. Fitzsimmons concluded by wishing that each and every one of them might drive faster horses than he had yet driven.”

In the meantime Mrs. Fitzsimmons, who is always ready for emergencies, had some fine turkeys and other good things served up in her usual gvod style, to which it is needless to say the party did ample justice.

After spending a sociable evening the visitors wended their way to their respec- tive homes.

Marpi Gras.—The Mardi Gras entertain- ment at Bloomfield parish this year took the shape of a musical and dramatic soiree, held iv St. Anthony’s Hall. The whole parish at- tended, as well as the parish priest of Alber- ton and some other friends from neighboring sections. The programme was an excellent one. A French drama, ‘Le Pater,” @ work of great merit recently played in Paris, was the piece de resistance. Mr. Brennan, of Coleman, read an interesting paper on Richard the Lion- hearted. The solos and choruses were splen- didly rendered. Mr. F, Peters was musical director and Miss Gaudet organist.
