Tos Datty EXAMINER,

NOVEMBER 24, i880, =e . . neat aaeeaetline Railway Items.

In answer to Mr. Heneberry we may say: The rule is, that express trains do not stop at flag stations; and as ‘‘Five Houses” is a flag station, the Station Master at Souris

should not bave suld Mr. Heneberry a

ticket *o go to that Station by an express train. But, as the mistake of selling the

ticket was made, the Conductor might, we think, for once, have held up ata flag station, and allowed Mr. Heneberry to get the worth of his money. Mr. Heneberry is not correct in calling the railway ‘‘a farce.” Nor isit farcical, because a blun- der has been made, tomake aman walk five miles. Public officials. should be as obligin:; as they can, consistently with the performance of their duties, : We have lately heard many complaints

about late and irregular trains. Persons who ar» delayed in the trains, persons who, are delaved waiting at the ‘ stations, and the friends of persons delayed— ali complain loudly. The explana- tion is gratifying im one respect. It appear: that never before has the traftic of

the real been so large; never before has

the roiling stock been required to do so much; and the fact is, the locomotives are’ insufticient for the work.

The two new engines which arrived by the ‘Southport’ on Saturday (just before

the storm commenced) will, no doubt, affurd some relief. They were manufac- tured by the ‘‘ Canada Locomotive Engine

Company” of Kioyston, Ont. ; and for heavy freight work are supposed to be superior to any now on the line. They are called ‘* Mason-Ferley” engines, and are of the sine kind, only larger, as engines which have given reat satisfaction on the New Beunswick Railway. There are three wheels coupled under each side of the steam truck, and three wheels under each side of the tender. The greater number of wheels, it is said, will give greater adhe- sion to the rail, and allow the locomotives to draw heayier trains at the ordinary rate of speed. Messrs. Henry Nuttall and Fred k Clarke, representing the Kingston Company, are now here, making them ready ij or work, and it is hoped that one of them will be ready for the road by Satur day next.

These engines are, we hope, but the first instalment of new rolling stock and im- proven cuts required to meet the creasing demanis of the public. One cannot help contrasting the Isiand Railway with its trains ‘rundling along at twelve miles an hour and jumping and swaying about for want «f proper coupling and brakes, with the we | equipped trains of the Intercolonial runnin, smoothly at rates varying from twenty to forty miles an hour. We do of course. -though the fares are the same, and the rates of freight noarly as high—expect all the comforts and luxuries on the Island Railway which are to be found on the Intercelonial Railway. But we do think it would be well—in the interesis of the Island Railway, as well as of the people of this Provincé—to have passen er cars furnished with the Miller Platform and Air Brake; and in view of the risiug fame of the Island asa place of summer resort, weaiso think it would be advisal le to have new and better cars made and fitted up specially for summer tratftic.

With reference tu the reported resigna- tion of the train despatcher, it appears that it is necessary for the despatcher to stay on duty until the last train on the road has arrived at its destination; and that, in con- sequence, Mr. Hughes has, of late, been obliged to remain in his vftice from 9 v’elock in the wornings until 12, 1, 2 and 3 o'clock the flowing nights, with only intermis- sions utticient to enable him to get his meais; and that he found the constant labor .f the office, with these long hours, too moch for his health. We learn that before resigning he applied, without sue cess, foran assistant. it is not likely that any one will be found to take Mr. Hughes’ place at the low salary he is receiving. Mr. Grady threw up the office, and Messrs. MecNe li and Giaaford left it from conside- rations of hard work and inadequate pay.

ISLANDER’S DESCRIPTION,

We are always glad to notice the success ef naive talent at home or abroad. Miss Pope, eldest daughter of the late Hon. Judge Pope, bas written for MeGee’s Jilus- trated Weekly, a leading Catholic paper of New ‘York, a series of descriptive sketches of M. ntreal, past and present, which show that ' is talented young lady possesses de- script.ve powers of no mean order. The manrer in which she describes the archi- tectural beauties of the Catholic Churches she has visited in Montreal and the elv- quen’ biographical sketches she gives of the leading public men of that city, prove that ‘he writer is a lady of culture ana ob- servaiion. The letters are written from a Cath lic point of view, with a deep-seated feeling of religious conviction running through them. The following, which is takes from her last letter, is a description of Montreal as seen from Mount Royal, and in which Moore’s famous Canadian boat song is happily introduced :—

**D. not let us linger in the little towers to rest ly the way; but come oo, on to the very sum :t, where is placed an inviting green benc!), on which we sink exhausted, and awed by ths prospect at our feet. The grand pano- rama of the vast town, with its avenues -of twink ting lights, like jewels, gleaming as far as th: «ve can reach, lighting up the tin roofs of Hoclelaga on the east, and throwing grim shadiws across the many tall chimueys cof Poin: St. Charles on the west; lights dancing in @ ‘housand grotesque ways, gleaming in color from shops and street cars, glancing from ‘he wiadows of brilliant saleons, flashing fromm the lanternsof haadreds of carriages;

lights repeating themselves on the glassy sur- |

face «{ the placid river, casting shadows over Nun ‘sland, beaming from st. Helen’s for.

i

tress, and shining afar off in Longueil. In the hazy distance the mountain peak o Beleuil keeps guard over the scene, and the river steamers flash along like fairies on the rippling waves; while above, the pale moon rising, throws a flood of silver light across the unsightly abutments of . Victoria Bridge, and “moves like a spirit upon the face of the waters.” Then, while we are thinking of Montreal and Montrealers, let us turn, and looking along the river to St. Ann's, at the extremity of the isand, let our thoughts dwell on him whe once visited this spot, and immortalized itin verse; on the Irishman whe loved America, and whom Americans love; he whose laurels never fade, whose memory 18 ever green, the king of Irish poesy, Thomas Moore, whose pen has given to Canada what has served for years as a national soag, & song that will alwavs find an echo im Canadian hearts: —

‘‘ Faintly, as tolls the evening chime, Our voices keep tune and our oars keep time; Soon as the weedson shore look dim, Well sing at St. Ann’s our evening hymn. Row, brothers, row, the stream runs fast, The rapids are near, and the daylight’s past.

. * « e * *

_Uttawa’s tide! this trembling moen

Shall see us float o'er thy surges seon,

Saint of this green isle! hear our prayers, Oh, grant us cool heavens and favoring airs; Blow, breezes, blow; the stream runs fast, The rapids are near, and the daylight’s past.’”

Storm Notes. °° *

Tus schooners Scud, Margaret Jane, and another, are ashore in Summerside harbor.

The brig Hetty Ellen, ashore at the en- trance of Summerside harbor, is likely to remain there for the winter at least. It is said that she isthe vessel which first con- veyed Livingston the explorer, to Africa. She is owned in England. Both vessel and cargo afe it is said insured,

The large shed under which Mr. Angus McMillan was wont, at Summerside, to build his vessels was blown down on Sunday night.

Mr. Robert McLeod, of Summerside, had five car loads of potatoes out in the storm. It is supposed that they were damaged.

A frame barn at Lot 16, belonging to Mr. James Yeo, jr., was laid even with the ground by the storm of Sunday night. Innumerable stacks were blown over, and telegraph wires were broken in very many places.

Lolly drifted-into Summerside harbor to the depth, it is said, of about three feet. On Tuesday, two men crossed from Sum- merside te Bedeque en the ice which formed over it. The steamer Princess of Wales found much ditticulty in getting out of Summer- side harbor on Tuesday.

The schooner Maud B. Wetherrli, Capt. Honivet, of New Hampshire, N. S., partly loaded with potatoes, is frozen in at Sum-

merside. The Capt. wants to leave first chance. He doesn't care fur any more potatees. :

The schooner Hiawatha, bound for Bos- ton, loaded with potatoes, is frozen in at Summerside.

The following vessels, which were at anchor at the entrance of Summerside har- hor, rode ont the gale in safety, viz :— barques Lizzie Cameron, John F. Rebert- son, M. J. Foley, and brigt Brenda. —

A small schooner from the Westward is stuck in the ice at the entrance of Summer- side harbor. It was thought she would try to get inside by the track made by the Princess of Walesa in going out.”

A vessel belonging to Hon. John Yeo, loaded with produce at Grand River Bridge, is said to be ashore at the North side of Grand River.

The barquentine Beta cleared from Port Hill on the 20th with 25,870 bus. oats, 250 pes deals, and 1000 ft. boards, shipped by Hon. John Yeo, for Queenstown, for or- ders.

There is no accounting for the perversity of human nature. The enforcement of the provisions of the Scot Act is said to have developed in many Summersiders an un- quenchable craving fur strong drink ; and persons who were abvve selling liquor when it was lawful to do so, now sell it on the sly just for the fun of the thing. It is re- ported that the idea that stolen drinks are sweet, possesses the minds, not only ofindi- viduals commonly knewn as men, but also of those angelic creatures yclept women,’ and some of these abandoned creatures say they will sell in spite of all the laws in the | universe.

{. O. O..F. Supper to the M.W.G. M.

A supper was given at the Rankin House last night, by the Oddfellows of this city, in honor of John Richards, Esq., Most Worthy Grand Master of the Order for the Lower Provinces” It was one of the plea- santest social gatherings we attended for some time. About fifty guests were pre- sent.
