Tus Darty EXAMINER.

JULY 17, 1883. The Fishery Exhibition. Mr. Inspector Duvar has shown Tne | ExaMINERK a private letter from the | Canadian Department of the Fishery Ex-| hibition of date 24th June, which con-|

tains several items of loterest to the | '

public. |

Lp to the date above mentioned, half| a million visitors are recorded.

Fourteen thousand is the daily average attendance, excepting on Wednesdays- which are the “‘half crown days’’—when the daily attendance is about 6,000.

The Minister of Marine and Fisheries, having met Sir Charles ‘Tupper and Sir Leouard Tilley, may probably return to Canada about the first of August. His ofticial position and sound practical sense have been of much service to the Can- adian Department, ia which he has persoually taken great interest.

At the date of the letter, the prizes had not been awarded; but the jurors were daily engaged in examinivg the different classes of specimens.

Mr. Duvar’s correspondent is under the impression that the Marine Prov- inces of Canada may be grouped together and receive one of the national prizes.

A large collection of stuffed fish have arrived from British Columbia; but, unfortunately, from the long sea voyage are in a bad coadition—a misfortune that happened in a lesser degree to the Prince Edward Island exhibit while on its way to Pictou, but which was remedied as far a3 possibJe on its arrival ia London.

The letter goes on to state that “oo the whole we may congratulate ourselves on the display that Canada hss made. In fact China aud Canada are frequently pronounced to be two of the best looking courts in the Exhibition, in addition to which the Canadian Exhibition has a particularly practical bearing—which is the best of all.

The officers of the Canadian Depart- ment are noted for their unwaveriug assiduity in displaying the selections under their care.

One of the most enterprising cities in Canada, rapidly growivg into one of the most important, has lately been visited with most disastrous floods. For over eight hours,the rain fell in torrents, while the fierce lightning, and deep toned thunder created a feeling of un- easiness avd alarm. And with good reason. In less than one hour, the waters in the River Thames rose fully five feet, and, overflowing, went thunder- ing down into London West, carrying everything before it. Houses were swept away in London West and Ken- sington like so much match-wood, bridges, iron and wooden, went down before the fierce tide, Railways washed out, and many human lives unhappily lost. Not only at London, but St. Thomas, Tilsouburg, Lucan, Ingersoll, East Saguinaw, and elsewhere, did these terrible floods rage. The damage to London alone amounts to $500,000, and falls heeviest on the workiug population.

Order and ‘emperance in the Northwest.

White murders, lynchings, etc., pre- vail in the Western States, the Canadian Northwest is orderly and law-abiding, though tribes of wild Indians roam over the plains, and thousands of rude navvies are at work on the railway. In a letter to an lowa paper, Mr. Boardman, of Langdon, ‘Shepard & Co., the great railway coutractors, explains the causes. He writes :—

“One thing they have in this country and that is law, and it is lived up to. When a man breaks the law here, justice is dealt out to him quicker and in larger chunks than he has been in the habit of receiving in the States, and he gets very little chance of appeal when guilt is fastened upon him beyond a doubt. It is not an old-time western lynch law, but a law made by the Queen, and lived up to and enforced by her people. Take for instance the matter of liquor. Nobody is allowed to sell any liquor, pain killer, Jamaica ginger, lemon extract, vanilla, or in fact anything that is prepared with a drop of alcohol in it, unless he has a permit signed by the Governor of the N. W. Territory; nor cana person bring into the country sach stuff without such permit, not even for his own use. All trains are examined, and should a man be detected, his first offence is $50 and costs; his second $200 and costs; his third, $400 and six months in a fort with ball and chain. Now, how do they enforce this law! When acowplaint is laid that a party is disposing of such stuff, about four or five mounted police appear at his door, ene man dismounts, steps in and takes Mr. Dealer in camp, he is provided with a con- veyance to the nearest fort, it may be 100 miles or more, and he then and there, en- tirely away from any friends, receives his dose, and you may rest assured that these police play no favorites, for, if they do, they get the same medicine that the dealer gets. 1 tell you there is a way of doing it, and they do it right from the scratch. In all my experience in Canada Northwest, I have never seen nor heard of a fight among men, and should there be whiskey sold in this country it would be almost impossible to build a railroad, as we would have a law- leas gang of men and a bad lot of Indians to deal with.

THE DAILY i:XAMINHER,

Items F’rom Souris.

One of the pleasant things now-a-days is a trip to the Magdalen’s. The tight little ‘*Beaver” takes folks there and back during this month for single fare.

Sea-sickness is a blessing in disguise, it seems. Never having experienced it per- sonally, | am unable to extol it, but really it must be a blessing if the latest discovery is solid truth, Last time the steamer lay at the wharf a young lady was asked how she enjoyed the trip! (referring to a former occasion.) The reply was a sweet one: ‘‘Well really, we were so sick we couldnt even talk about our neighbors.” Sea-sick- ness scored one that time. That girl's head was level. You see folks who are not sea-sick talk about their neighbors. Who will take the next trip!

We have suffered a real loss in the de- parture of Mr. Domitian Gallant. This gentleman has left here for Rustico. His many friends, deeply regretting his absence from their midst, also wish him every suc- cess, which he thoroughly deserves.

We are glad to find that Tux Examiner is a general favorite in Souris. Your daily issue of the 12th inst , contained an article in reply to the Herald which the latter journal should “read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest,” and not raise sectarian issues in political matters. Representation and political patronage will always regulate themselves. Where properly regulated the best men generally win, irrespective of creed. Quebec, could have a Protestant Premier, and Prince Edward Island a Catholic one, and nobody would be pac- ticularly hurt by the arrangement. This Island is happily free from the bitter sec- tarianism which curses many another coun- try. Here Protestants and Catholics can be good neighbors, and may they long re- main so.

if our paternal government would grant us a Post Office building in Souris, we would be forever thankful. We enjoy the services of an obliging and efficient post- master. This hot weather, it is enough to roast an ox to have to stand for the mail in the Government box of to-day. We hope Mac won’t get mad about it, for it’s not his fault.

The fire fiend has been round again. Midnight was startled from its quiet slum- bers by the cry of ‘‘ fire,” and a terrible tire it was. Shortly after the midnight of Friday last, the premises of Mr. C. C. Carlton were found ablaze. People rushed to and fro arousing the inhabitants, and very soon stout hearts and ready hands went to work with a will. The water supply here is inexhaustible, as old ocean lies next door, but there is no fire engine, although it is said that a grant was made some years ago toward that purpose. There is something almost criminal in the negligence which leaves an important village like Souris without snch a necessary safe- guard. The fire lasted in all its fury for three or four hours. Large premises, and a valuable stock were completely destroyed, save a few barrels of flour. At one time, the flames looked dismaliy threatening, and several buildings seemed to be doomed, The large house next door (which is much damaged) belonging to Mr. J. R. McLean, caught fire. Mr. Carlton’s premises were past all hopes of salvation, and every nerve was strained to save other properties in the immediate neighborheod. Providence gave acalm night, or Souris would have suffered heavily. We have had little rain lately, everything was as dry as matehwood, and, had the wind raised to any extent, half of Souris would now be in ashes Those who rushed to the rescue, did their worknobly. They exerted themselves heroic- ally, and managed to keep the sea of flame within bounds, A line of men handed water incessantly from the shore, and hundreds of bucketfulls were poured upon Mr. McLean’s building. Others were upon the roof of the latter premises who worked vigorously and well. Capt. John D. Lavie was a whole team in himself. Priest and Parson rushed hither and thither, setting a noble example to others who readily font a helping hand. Even some of the ladies went to work downright in earnest, and only gave up, like the men, when danger was past. Thirty or forty men did good service. It is useless and unnecessary to name them—the highest praise lies in the work they accomplished. Mr. Carlton’s loss is considerable, and much sympathy is felt for him. The in- surance is reported at $3,000. The damage reaches to about double that amount. The cause of the fire is unknown. The damage to Mr. McLean’s building is covered by insurance. Mr. Dudley Wright lost $150 worth of furniture, which was stored on Mr. Carlton’s premises, which were the property of Mrs. Beaton of Charlottetown. The ruins were still smouldering yesterday (Sunday) morning.

Solemn Services of the Catholic Church were held immediately after Mass, in the Catholic burying ground, on last. Thursday morning. Father Burke left on Saturday. l¢ is understood that the Mission com- menced at St. Peter’s Bay yesterday.

The Shatier Swiss Bell Ringers performed before a geod house to-night. The audi- ence was delighted with their really excel- lent entertainment.’ The programme was all that could be desired, and the Company deserves every praise for the manner in which it was filled. There is but one opinion here, which classes the entire per- formance as a rare treat.

A sail on the bosom of the waters by

moonlight, is one of the most enjoyable’

things in creation. The silvery moon, and golden stars, send something of heaven to earth, as they cast their shadows on the ocean wave. We mortals seem to glide among them, in a living dream, surely not forgetful of the Author of all true beauty, whose love isas boundless as the ocean, and whose power is as limitless as eternity.

The genial proprietor of our Temperance Hotel is on a business visit to Nova Scotia. Our local barber has taken advantage of the ‘‘Beaver” excursions—Tom is ‘‘one of the bhoys,” anda general favorite. Mosquitos are vicious, very vicious sometimes, and sting like fury. They took a particular spite at one of our quietest lads last Satur- day, and increased his size immensely. He is now a heavy swell.

The Accident at O'Leary. DEATH OF MRS. MCDOUGALL-~GALLANT RES- CUE BY DRIVER ARMOUR.

Tur accident at O'Leary Staticn yester- day was, it appears, the result of imprudent driving on the part of the husband of the unfortunate victim—Mrs. McDougall. It, appears that the couple left their home in Miscouche to visit their sonin Lot7. They were accompanied by their grand-daughter, | a little girl nine years of age. When | crossing the track at O'Leary Sta-| tion No. 1 Express Train, Conductor McGowan, approached. The horse was wild, and the driver—a man of seventy— who appears to have lost his senses, in the excitement of the moment, drove him recklessly across the track in front of the engine. ~Driver Armour, sceing that a serious accident was about to take place, put on the vacuum brakes and reversed the engine as quickly as possible. Notwith- standing this, the locomotive forged fast ahead and struck the wagon, breaking it to

ieces and lodging two of the occupants, i McDonald and grand-daughter, on the cowcateher. Driver Armour having lefi everything secure in the cab, shot through the lookout, and reached the front of the engine in time to rescue the little girl who was about to roll off the cow-

' ! |

catcher and meet a terrible death. The engine soon stopped, and the result of the accident was ascer- tained. Mrs. McDougall, who had

been struck on the head by the connecting bar of the locomotive, lay Jmotionless above the cow-catcher. Her husband, who was thrown violently on the road, was uncon- scious by excitement, while the little girl, so gallantly rescued by Driver Armour, was apparentiy unhurt. Mrs. McDougall was removed to O'Leary Station House, where Conductor MeGowan, Mr. McMahon, Station Master, and others did all in their power to revive her; but the unfortunate woman expired within an hour after the accident. Her husband ‘received slight injuries about the head, but has since fully recovered. The deceased was sixty-eight years of age.

To-day an inquest was held at Miscouche in view of the body, It was attended by James Coleman, Esq., Superintendent of the Railway, E. J. Hodgson, Esq. , Prack- master McPherson, and the train hands. The following verdict was rendered ‘—

“Phat ‘deceased met her death by in- cautiously and imprudently endeavoring to cross the track in front of the engine when approaching the platform, and that the con- ductor, driver, and men on the train were entirely free from blame.”

Tue large lobster factory of McDonald, McDonald & Co., situated at St. Columbia, Lot 47, King’s County, was consumed by fire at five o'clock, yesterday evening.

The factory was one of the largest in King’s County, and employed between fifty and sixty hands during the fishing season, We leatm that the factory was insured im Northern Fire Insumnce Co., F. W.
