eageee imMPROVEMENT.—Since the policemen have given more of their attention to the corner- loafing nuisance, a great improvement has manifested itself. It was assuring last even- ing to see a policeman at the general resoris for loafers, and the entire absence of the nuisance. Wehope the war will continue until the evil is removed effectually. png

There was no end of fun for about two minutes, and it all turned out for the best, too. The young man proposed on the spot, and the very next night he bought the bad boy a jack-knife and two oranges.

Anorner Bia Time.—lLhere will be a big time at Victoria, B. C., on the Queen’s Birth- day. O'Connor, Lee, Gaudaur, Hamm, Peter- son, and probably Hanlan will engage in a professional sculling match. There will be lacrosse, base ball and cricket matches, grand ball, athletic tournament, sailing. and other races, and a sham battle in which the militia and navy will take part. The celebration will last two days. Every place appears to be moving but Charlottetown. Why cannot we have a firemen’s tournament or some such at- traction here the coming summer?

Parsrun Accrent.—The Summerside Pioneer says : A boy named Richard, about 17 years of age, met with a painful ac- cident last Thursday, in the lumber yard at Messrs. Jos. Read & Co’s. steam mill. He was rolling logs off a truck, when the middle finger of his left hand got caught, with the result that the end of his finger had the flesh cleaned completely off to the bone. He was at once taken to the office of Dr. Carruthers, who took off the first joint of the finger.

Att Cram Hiw.—Says. an exchange : Three eloquent sermons were preached in New York city, on Sunday (St. Patrick 8 Day) each on the subject of St. Patrick. Atthe Catholic cathedral, Rev. Father

O’Connor depicted the saint as a great Catholic missionary. At the Thirty-third street Baptist Church, Rey. L. D. Temple brought évidence to prove that St. Patrick was a model Baptist, and at the Bedford street Methodist Church, Rey. Joseph Wardle, the pastor, found little ditticulty in substantiating his assertion that Ire- land’s patron was a true and consistent Methodist. —_.—_-

Tue Lannon-Asuton Ficut.—The Bos- ton Herald says : ‘‘The glove fight between Joe Lannon and Jack Ashton, which was to have taken place in Providence, on Tues- day might, is ‘off’ for the present, and even the parties ‘in the know haven't a well-defined idea as to when the meeting of the two heavy-weights will be called.

Creo English Opinion. : Lonpon, March 24.

Though the reports of the Commons de- bate on Sir Richard Cartwright’s reciprocity motion are meagre, comments: made here generally agree that the Canadian decision against the motion blocks the United States proposal to obtain exclusive commercial privileges on her northern frontier, just as the new __ treaty between England and Mexico excludes for ten years the chance of such privileges on the southern. It is difficult to see what Cauada or Mexico would gain politically or commercially by closer relations with their vast neighbor than with the Old World, while it is clear that both would ‘sacrifice much worth preserving.

fire in the Citadel.

Hatirax, March 25. . The main barracks in the Citadel were partly destroyed by fire last night. The fire originated from a defective fue. It was a large thiee story stune building with wooden rvof, capable of accommodating tive hundred men, and was occupied by three batteries of royal artillery. The men lost most of their kits, and their small arms were badly damaged, The burning build- ing was within forty feet of the ‘Magazine, in which about three hundred pounds of powder are stored.

The Dilapidated Fence.

Str, —As spring is so early I expect the ladies of Charlottetown will soon be on the move collecting subscriptions for the sup- port of _the ornamentation of the grounds surrounding the public buildings on Queen Square, but I am strongly of opinion that no more money should be expended for such a laudable purpose until the Domin- ionand Provincial Governments erect a decent fence around the grounds enclosing their buildings. The present broken down and dilapidated fence is a disgrace to both Governments, and an eye sore to strangers Visiting the capital of Prince Edward Is- and.

The Teacher

Who advised her pupils to strengthen their minds by the use of Ayer’s Sar- saparilla, appreciated the truth that bodily health is essential to: mental vigor. For persons of delicate and feeble constitution, whether young or old, this medicine is remarkably beneficial. Be sure you get Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.

‘Every spring and fall I take a num- ber of bottles of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and am greatly benefited.’? — Mrs. James H. Eastinan, Stoneham, Mass.

“TI have taken Ayer’s Sarsaparilla with great benefit to my general health.” — Miss Thirza L. Crerar, Palmyra, Md.

“My daughter, twelve years of age, has suffered for the past year from

General Debility.-

A few weeks since, we began to give her Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Her health has greatly improved.”—Mrs. Harriet H. Battles, South Chelmsford, Mass.

“About a year ago I began using Ayer’s Sarsaparilla as a remedy for debility and neuralgia resulting from malarial exposure inthe army. I was in a very bad condition, but six bottles of the Sar- saparilla, with occasional doses of Ayer’s Pills, have greatly improved my health. I am now able to work, and feel that I cannot say too much for your excellent remedies.””"—F. A. Pinkham, South Moluncus, Me.

““My daughter, sixteen years old, is using Aver’s acorns with ‘good ef- fect.’”— Rev. S. J. Graham, United Brethren Church, Buckhannon, W. Va.

‘¢T suffered from

Nervous Prostration,

with lame back and headache, and have been much benefited by the use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. I am now 80 years of age, and am satisfied that my present health and prolonged life are due to the use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.”’—Lucy Moffitt, Killingly, Conn.

Nrs. Ann H. Farnsworth, a lady 79 years old, So. Woodstock, Vt., writes : “After several weeks’ suffering from nervous prostration, I procured a bottle of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and before I had taken half of it my usual health returned.”
