On Friday evening last, a special train was employed to take a number of Conser- vative electors fron Summerside and St. fleanor’s to pay a friendly visit to their fellow-workers in Miscouche. Four cars were filled to their utmost capacity, On reaching Miscouche they found the village brilliantly Uluminated with bonfires. Al- though the roads were almost impassable, the Conservatives of that end of the Dis trict, including St. Nicholas and Muddy Creek, turned out en masse. The Mis- couch’ Hall is large, but it soon became so crowded that numbers could not gain ad- mittance. Mr. Archibald J. Gillis, Chair- ‘man of the Miscouche Board of the Liberal- | Conservative Association, occupied the chair, and in a neat speech brietly welcomed the visitors to Miscouche. David Rogers, bsq., Chairman of the Prince County Liberal-Conservative Association, replied, and read the following address :—

Miscovcuer, March 18, 1887.

To Messrs. D. Rogers, Charles B. McNeill, John A. Sharp, H. J. Massey, John Lefur- gey and others.

GENTLEMEN,—As members of the Miscouche Branch of the Liberal-Conservative Associa- tion, and electors of this end of our District, we desire respectfully to acknowledge the honor conferred upon us by your present visit to our Hall, and by the complimentary senti- ments contained in the address which you have just presented to us.

We have always endeavored to do our duty faithfully as electors who honestly believe im the superior merits of the great Conservative Party, and we recognize in you and your asso- eiates valued and honorable co-operators in the cause of good government.

While our etforts at the late Dominion elec- tion have been unsuccessful, yet with you we rejoice to know that the distinguished Premier of Canada and his able Ca: inet have received from the whole electorate a new lease of power, which is a guarantee that, for the next five years at least, the welfare, happiness and solid progress of our country is assured,

Again pledging you our cordial co-operation, we have cne honor to be, gentlemen, Your obedient servants, A. F. GiLiis, President. H. V. DesRocues, Secretary. STePHEN DesRocueEs, CLEMENT PorrRieR, Josepu Jas. DesRocues, Francis: DesRocues,

The square vote always given stands as an indisputable evidence of the confidence and true friendly feeling which happily exists between ws.

Although we may not have the privilege of increasing the large majority returned on Tuesday last, to support Sir fohn Macdonald, we have the proud satisfaction of knowing that we, of this District, cast a majority of one hundred and twenty-four votes in his favor, and in support of an honest, patriotic and statesmanlike Government.

We are requested to ask you, Mr. Chair- man, and the members of your committee, to convey the thanks of this delegation and the Liberal-Conservatives of Summerside, to their friends and fellow-workers in your part of the District for the confidence they have had in the electors of Summerside, and to express the hope that the East and the West may be jong united, and go forward in the future as in the past, shoulder to shoulder in the sup- port of every good cause,

(Mary Mackellar in the Edinburgh Scotsman. )

After the battle of Inverlochy, fought in 1831, between the royal forces and the follow- ers of the Lord of the Isles, Donald Dubh, Chief of Lochiel, was so oppressed that he had to flee for his life to Ireland, and the Lord oo! the Isles gave his lands to John Garve Mac- Jean, first laird of Coil, and brother to the fourth laird of Duart, Chief of the Macleans. The Cameronus fought bravely to keep posses- sion of their lands, and their Chief returned to defend them; but still the Macleans claimed Lochaber, or at least the extensive parts of it granted to them by the Lord of the Isles. John Garve died, and his son, the second laird of Coll, entered into possession, and he carried on the feud more bitterly than his father. At last they fought a decisive battle at Corpach, to which place they had recently come to reside, with the intention of keeping possession of the place. The Macleans were sorely defeated and slain, and among the fallen was their chieftan, John, the second laird of Call.

The Macgillonies of Strone, seem at this time to have acted against the interests of their chief, Lochiel, and to have secured the favor of the Lord of the Isles, for the names of their lands are notin the charter that was given to John Garve for the other places in Lochaber. On this occasion, then, when the Macleans were defeated, the young widow fled with her child to Strone, and placed him under the protection of the Macgillonies, who acted a most friendly part to him, and reared him carefully until in the course of time he was restored to his kinsmen. He became a stalwart man in the course of years, and was known as John of Lochaber. Iain Abrach, which term continued as the patronymic of the lairds of Coll until they ceased to exist as such,

Count Von Moltke is the direct descendant of this child so kindly sheltered in Strone ; in fact he is a Maclean of the house of Mac lain Abrach, his grandfather having been a son of one of the lairds of Coil. The grandfather and one of his brothers went as young men to Copenhagen, where they were successful in pushing on to good positions, and the Count has proved true to the war-like proclivities of his race. The Count is not the only distin- guished son of [ain Abrach whose name has been known to this generation, for the late Hobart Pasha was a great-grandson of the laird of Coll, whose daughter was married to the Earl of Buckinghamshire. The present excellent chief of the Clan Cameron the late M. P. for Inverness-shire—is also the /great-grandson of this descendant of the an- cient foe of his house, through his mother, Lady Vere Hobart ; and among the others we may mention the name of Commander Camer- on of African fame, who isa great-grandson of a lady of the house of Coll. This lady's husband was the son of Dr. Archibald Camer- on, the brother of the gentle Lochiel of the ‘45, and their son Hector, the grandfather of Com- mander Cameron, was born in Oban. This Hector was a distinguished soldier, and was Mayor of Paris during the occupation of the Alhes after the -capture of Napoleon Bona- parte. eres on ~~ hie +

Over-Study in the Scheoois.

'

The over-study question has_ three branches. In the first place the hours in the public school are too long, especially for young children; in the second place the stress of competition between pupil and | pupil is too great and too much encouraged. | Finally, the number and variety of studies is too great and the children are pushed forward too rapidly from one grade to an- other, involving too much evening study. From any or all of these causes danger may threaten and damage resuit.

There are some children who are not likely to be injured in health even by the high pressure in our public schools. The michievous child who iearns his lessons easily and doesn’t care to learn them too well when there is anything going on out of doors is, all things considered, the least likely to suffer injury. Positively stupid pupils, unless their stupidity is coupled with a too great desire to learn, are next most fortunate, because they don’t get along at all and don’t expect to. it is the pupil who combines intelligence with in- dustry and ambition—the pupil who is most promising and whose diligence the masters praise—who is most likely to suffer harm.

After all the fault does not lie wholly with the Board of education, though that body certainly should do its utmost to pre- vent loading the children in their care too heavily with studies. The parents can do much, even as things are now, by discour- aging undue exertions on the part of chil- dren. This is to be remembered always; it is better for a pupil to drop back a grade than lose his health.

mei + So + High License in Halifax.

The Halifax /Tera/d has interviewed a num- ber of liquor dealers as to the working of the new license law. J. P. Marr, who has done a large saloon business, says he has closed his bar and will give the system, which he be- lieves to be good, a fair trial. A. B. Sheraton of the Queen has a ‘tno admittance” sign over his bar, and reports a decrease of one-half in his liquor receipts. He intends to honestly carry out the provisions of the law, but hopes the clauses obliging guests to have liquor sent to their rooms instead of drinking at the bar may be repealed. The proprietor of the Hali- fax finds the law a great inconvenience. He has to pay a license fee three times as high as formerly, on a business tifty per cent. less, and has to employ six or eight extra hands to wait on the thirty ledgers, Phil, Colford, a well known ‘restaurant keeper, says his busi- ness is practically ruined. Persons desiring beer with their oysters can no longer have it sent from the bar, but must themselves go out

the street, enter the shop by another out-

de door, buy a pint of liquor, and carry it to the cating. room. Wholesale dealers inter: viewed anticipated no serious loss, but found it an inconvenience to be confined to such large quantities. The general opinion is that if the ew can be enforced. it will largely de- crease the amount of drunkenness. = a A LovisviLix paper says: ‘Should New- foundland secede from England and join the United States, it will be a big thing for us. Newfoundland dogs wil! be cheaper. And cheap dogs would be a great blessing to the »oor. As is well known, the poorer people bevvinws the mure dogs they require.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. The City Building.

Sirn,— Mr. W. C. Harris seems to be labor- ing under a delusion, In his letter of the 18th he wants to make it appear that the consider- ation of the plans for the new City Building was put off simply to allow us to embody his ideas in our plans, Such was not the case ; and we most emphatically deny and contradict his assertion as absolutely false.

We not only were sitting in a place at the Council meeting the night both sets of plans were exhibited, where it was almost impossi- ble to see them, but those who did see thein and bad them explained to them could tell us very little about them, even if we desired it. We are not indebted to Mr. Harris for any suggestions or ideas whatever in planning the new City Building, and all reports to the contrary—come they from Mr. Harris or any other person——are positive falsehoods, We know not, sir, and care less whether the ideas we have arranged in the plans of the new City Building can be found in the engine houses of Chicago or in the plans of Mr. W. C. Harris, but would simply say that Mr. Harris nor any other architect cannot de- sign and carry out in a substantial manner, a building suited to these requirements for a smaller sum of money than the amount of the tender accepted. Mr. Harris claims that he has been unfairly dealt with in this matter, he also should have stated that he was not requested by the Council to prepare plans for the building, and if he chose to prepare them of his own tree will he has a perfect right to take the consequences without complaining.

We will state as briefly as possible for the benefit of your readers the facts of the case from the commencement. When the idea of building the City Building first came up it was proposed to purchase the Johnson lot and build on that, We were accordingly instruct- ed to prepare plans for the proposed building which we did, and submitted them with a probable cost of $8,000. But just at that time the idea was suggested to purchase the Love property and build on that, so the plans had to be of course thrown up.

The next order we received was to plan a suitable bnilding for the Love property. We aceordiugly prepared pencil sketches for the ‘proposed building as directed, with the-game identical arrangements that we have embodied in the plans of the building now to be erecied —with this difference: The building showed three full stories in height, and was covered with a flat roof with central pediments to each street front, and the addition in rear for horses, etc., was carried up two stories. With this exception the,building was the very same as our last plan,

The plan was submitted to the Council with a probable cost of $12,000. Some of the Coun- cillors objecting te the cost, we were ordered to modify the plans and arrange a building to cost about $10,000.

This we did by making the building two storys high, with mansard roof, and making the extension in rear, for horses, &e., one story high; also making the corner tower smaller, and some other slight alterations. Up to this time Mr. Harris or his plaas-were never heard from, at least by ws. ~~

After we had the last modified plans ready to submit to the Council, we were intormed that plans were to be submitted the same night by other parties. To this we replied that we were the only persons instructed to prepare the plans, and we thought that should end the matter. However, we sub- mittod the plans, with a probable cost of $10,- 000, and attended the meeting and were surprised to see Mr. Harris submit and explain a set of elaborately colored plans of the proposed building. After the Council carefully examined both sets of plans, it was almost unanimously carried by a vote of the Council to accept our plans and cali for ten- ders.

Our drawings being only hurried pencil sketches, and not being in the habit of designing work that we know cannot be executed or carried out for the money, we have no doubt they showed to disadvantage. We have every respect for Mr. Harris, and have no wish to do him a wrong, and respect- fully ask the same of him ; and not having the time nor the desire for-airing ourselves in the public press, we consider we have nothing more to say about the matter, we will not notice any more communications «2 the subject.

Yours truly, Puitires & CHAPPELL.

Those “Very Dangerous Holes.”

Sir, —I noticed in your paper of yesterday the remarks of your correspondent ‘‘Travel- ler,” referring to certain holes in the ice, and having since had an opportunity of noticing particularly the holes in question, I desire to describe them to your readers more correctly than ‘* Traveller” has done.

The small hole which your correspondent says has ‘‘only four sapling fir trees denote it,” is the place from which three blocks of ice were taken, leaving an opening about four feet square. Considering the small size of this opening, and that it is surrounded by four sapling fir trees six or eight feet high, [ do not regard it as a “‘ very dangerous hole.’

The largest hole is about 50 feet long by 40 wide. Itis surrounded by about twenty sapling spruce and fir trees six to eight feet high, standing about ten or twelve feet apart, and on these trees are stretched two lines of rope extending completely around the opening. This opening is on a part of the ice not very much travelled, being quite a distance from any of the tracks leading to the city.

The size of the hole is not now ‘‘increasing daily,” in fact, it stopped growing several days before ‘Traveller's’ letter appeared. A light is now kept burning at the place by i night.

It is well known that there are many holes eut in the ice on our rivers at this season, Travellers ave aware of this, and do not go wandering about with their eyes shut, And to persons with their eyes open and any com- mon sense left the holes just described are certainly not such ‘‘very dangerous holes” as your correspondent would have people be- lieve. I think reasonable people will say that they are amply protected.

Yours, ete., IcEBERG.
