D#ar Sirk,—Not long since in travelling

to the Westward 1 had oceasion to stop at O'Leary Station, where | renewed my acquaintance with Mr. John McLeod, the agent at that point, John, only a boy then, was for over two years in the family of Llenry Palmer, Esq., of this city, and it was with no little relucts oncy that Mr. Palmer permitied him to take his departure.

he people ot this vicinity ook upon John, their station master, asa sort of ‘*King;’’ and they may well be proud that so fine a young man has so long re- mained with them,

Mr. McLeod, like many other of the P. iu. Island Railway employes, possesses that businessslike politness which is always ap- preciated by the travelling public.

Although quite a young man, it is evi- dent that his services ure duly approved of by the Company, and as he has shown bhims self worthy, we think that the leading | officials will take measures to secure him even a better situation,

TRAVELLER, OA cect To the Editor of the Daily Examiner :

Deak Str,~—-The energy and ability diss played in the management of vour daily paper since its establishment augurs well for the future prosperity of jour enter~ prise. The fact that your telegraphic col. umns every morning contain not only the latest war news, but also the rates of ex- change, value of gold, market prices of flour, etc., at Montreal, New York, ete,, clearly demonstrates that your paper is a success.

lt seems, however, that you have opposis tion in the matter of telegrams—from the Y. M.C. A. and Reading Room--on the tables of which da'ly telegrams are placed, It seems that those telegrams are paid for principally by contributions from the three Banks in this city, amounting in all to $156 a year—a very handsome contribution’ towards the payment of the Secretary's sal- ary of the Y. M. C. Association... slow far it is just as well as ‘Christian to take from the monies of shareholders of every class and creed, and give to a sectarian institu- tion, is a matter that concerns only those interested in such appropriations.

Hoping that you will be able to keep up your daily telegraphic column of news, not- withstanding all opposition, even that of the Y. M.C.A., ;

Dear Sir,—I have been informed that gentlemen canvassing for tome of the candidates for the “Licensing Board ’’ have stated that I have withdrawn from the field. I begto state through your columns that | have not withdrawn. neither have the gentlemen by whom | was earnestly solicited to offer at the com- ing election, rexuested me to doso, | value their support too highly to retire from the contest without first consulting them on the matter. Whatever other candidates may do ip canvasaing I care not; but I will assure the citizens of Chars lottetown thatitis not my intention to resort to any unfair means to secure an election. I trust 1 have a higher apprecia-~ tion of the importance of applying the ‘License Law’ so ‘that the wishes of a majority of the people maybe met. [In order, then, to auseertain the mind of the citizens respecting the granting of licences. the question should be placed fairiy and squarely before them, and all kinds of improper Canvassing discountenanced, so that the election shall be secured of the men in whom the most dence can be placed to carry out the intentions and de- sire of the eiectors.

Dear Sir,—In Saturday morning’s edi- tion of your paper | feit slightly surprised at reading a letter signed ‘* Verax,” This truthful stranger imagines that he is quite a critic in matters relating to nature; Let him be addressed in the words of the good old Johnston, ‘‘ | admire your candor, Sir,’ but damn your manners.’ 1! have spent many a summer evening wandering by the banks or boating upon the waters of the; North West Arm of Halifax. It is des cidely a lonely spot, but anyone who has sailed along our winding Elliott and watched the .un sinking to rest beyond the far off hills of Bonshaw, or has enjoyed a jolly boatsail on the harbor by moonlight with half adozen more lovely giris than could be met within a month’s travel through Nova, will decidedly give the pre ference of pleasant scenery to Prince

Edward Island. Halifax is a very passable, sleepy sort of an old city, [f it had inhabitants able to appre}

of its natural advantages, it would, and ought to be, one of the most beautiful, wealthy and mercantile cities in the Do minion. A year ago, and I suppose at present, the first bit of the Dominion of Canada that an European has the misfor- fortune of beholding is the Upper Water Street of Halifax. Our beautiful red mud is like Brussels carpet compared with the filth that comes from this street in a rainy season. . The city is jnearly

The iaying out of the Park was entrus'ed to the superintendence of the Colonel of Royal Engineers, who Was « man of exceilent taste. In locating the new roads every advantage of natural scenery was taken hold of, and thus the Park was made. beautiful, but it is very far from being anything in the way of mag nificent, and J thoroughly believe that our Victoria Park, 1f tastefully laid out, would certainly equal if not be more beautiful than the Halifax one. At present it seems like a distant El Dorado. I crossed Goy~ ernment Bridge with the intention of goin

to the Park but was repulsed by a meek man, who solemnly proceeded from the Governor's lodge and bade me jump over the Bridge. ‘This | did and sought the El Dorado with muddy boots and a crestfallen spirit. The division fence, spoiling the outline of Government Point, was the first object of contempt that I met with. The next was a piece ot breastwork, that seem, ed like a huge iand turtle trying tomake its way into tle harbour.
