Being a druggist by profession, theugh he left that for the grocery business, he prescribed his own draughts, and when warned by his friends against the danger of using opiates, he would reply that he knew perfeetly well what he was about. On Tuesday night, he left the store about half- past eight and went up stairs. His manner was as usual, indicating neither depression of spirits nor the reverse. his son discovered that something was the matter with him and tried to rouse him, but failed; and,despite all the doctors

Montreal Exhibition.
We learn that there will be exhibited at the Dominion Exhibition, two splen- did horses and three very fine cows from the Stock Farm of this Province; alsoa carriage stallion owned by Thomas Rodd, Esq., Cherry Hill Farm, St. Peter's Read ; a carriage horse: owned by C. A. Mitchell, Village Green, Lot 49; a roadster horse,
owned by Norman McLeod, of Eldon, Bel- fast ; acart horse owned by Allan Boisner, of North River; and a carriage horse, the property of H. Craswell, St. Bleanor’s, Competent judges have pronounced these animals to be very superior stock, and say that they will compare favorably with horses in similar classes at any Provincial er Dominion Exhibition. The live stock and ether exhibits will be shipped by steamer ‘“‘St. Lawrence” to Pomt du Chene next Monday morning for Montreal.
The samples of grain obtained by the Advisory Board are also very creditable, considering the early season at which they ha to be prepared in order to be

HALES—THE
ANOTHER LETTER FROM F. W. EXPERIENCE OF TRUKO SOME FACTS AND FIGURES.
To the Editor of the Braminer.
Sir,—By the kindness of Israel Lougworth, Esq , of Truro, [ am now enabled to furnish your readers with furthet particulars and cost of the water works of that city. Ina letter just received from him, he says :—** By the original contract the works were to consist of 500 teet 8 inch cast pipe, 2/42 feet 6 inch cast pipe, 7,600 feet 4 inch cast pipe {all tested to 300 lbs, to the inch), delivered and laid five feet below the surface of the streets (rock ex- eavation extra) with all necessary bends, ties, specials, &c., for $10,068. Twenty five double anti-freezing fire hydrants, set four feet from mains, with specials, &e ; one complete set of water works machinery, similar to that put in for the town of Brantford, consisting of two pumps and two engines capable of being worked connected or disconnectel—that is, either one or two pumps as desired ; all set up and left running, and guaranteed to throw four one inch or five seven-eight inch in fire streams directly through hydrants and one section of hose to a height of 50 feet. Alsoa brick building of suitable size to contain ma- ehinery and for engineer to live in, induction pipe from river to well under building, one coal heater and connections arranged te keep water always warm in boiler, if desired—for $9,932, making a total cost of $20,000. These were our works as first established with 1000 hose and 600 feet cotton hose
feet rubber
at a cost of some $1,250 extra; also, one hand fire engine and two hundred feet rubber hose, aid reels for hose.
Subsequently the railway department gave $1,500,and a dam was made on Lepper Brook, below Truro Fallsabout a mile from ‘Trare,and pipes were laid from dam to street main near railway, which gave the town a supply of water for domestic purposes by gravitation from a head of 20 feet. By this arrangement the railway supply their engines with water and the street mains are kept full, which is a great advantage when steam pressure is ap- plied for fire purposes, making the combined system the most perfect in use in any town in America that I am aware of. The works have also been- extended in two or three other di- rections by laying pipes and setting up ad- ditional hydrants; and a system of fire tele- graph between the wardsef the town and the engine house has been erected, so as to ensure the engineer having sufficient steam pressure on hydrants for hese in from 8 to 12 minutes after alarm of fire.
The whole cost of .works to date comes to $29,400. The costof maintenance last year came to $915.40, covering salary of engineer, coal, fuel, oil, cotton waste, and necessary re- pairs to works. This year the estimate is $708.74 for same services. Engineer gets house, fuel and light free, and $400 per an- num. Our engine heuse is close to the Salmon River, and the cellar is deep enough to receive a supply ei water five feet deep by an induction pipe trom bed of river. And the inachinery and pumps are capable of pumping 500,000 gallons of water in twenty-four hours through the street mains, ‘Lhe werk was per- formed by the Waterous Engine Works Uo., of Branttord, Ont. ’
I do not know, Mr. Editor, that I can add anything of much value at the present state of this water enguiry. ‘
I have heard that some time age Mr. Mur- deck was commissioned bya fermer Civic Ceuncil to make investigations and prepare a report on the means of obtaining a water sup- ply for Charlottetown ; also, that the work was performed and the ieport prepared, but that it was withheld by Mr. M. because the civic authorities have declined to pay the bal- ance of the charge made ; viz., $200.
Perhaps, Mr. Editor, yeu can enlighten us on this matter, by pubiishing the reasons for this refusal to pay Mr. Murdock’s bill.
lt seems to me that if the order to do the work was given without any limitation as to price, it is too late now to demur. For, what- ever may be the epinions eatertained as to
‘the value of the services perfermed, or the
deductions and recommendations made, the city is bound i@good faith to pay the bill, and then let the citizens judge for themselves as to what is the peal course to pursue, We shall then know from where and how much water we may expect to get by gravitation, and the heights or water pressure that may be obtained ; and if those places from which a supply without steam power can_ be had, do not give satisfaction in consequence of ex- pense or other causes, then we shall be better able to come to some conclusion on the supply nearer home. I remain, yours truly, Frep W, HALEs. Ch’town, Sept. 10, 180. P —-—-
Pseudo Economy.
To the Editor of the Examiner.
Sir, —TheS& are times of retrenchment and economy, From the shoe-black up to the superintendent of a railway ; and still further up tothe generalissimo of an army, and the rulers of empires, the spectre on the brain of financiers is Economy !+Economy! Lop the salaries, but whip the workers!
It is said that extravagance is the opposite to economy, and Vice Versa. Well, I am not philologist enough to settle the truth of this maxim. But | know that penuriousness and overtasking workmen and workwomen have often murdered ; good cause.

To the Editor of the Hxamimer.
Sir,—On Thursday the 23rd inst. the elec- tors of Queen’s County will be called upon to say by their vote, not whether Pepe or Davies shall be our representative in the Commons of Canada, but whether the ‘‘ Canada Tem- perance Act, 1878,” Shall be adopted as the law of Queen’s County. This mest excellent
Act has been carefully worked out and be-}-
queathed to us by the leaders and suporters of the two great political parties of the Do- minion. It is essentially ‘‘a law by the people for the peopie,” and when once pro- claimed | have no hesitation in predicting that, so far as little Prince K:iward [sland is concerned, the law will be enforced as well, and a little trifle better than our farcical License Law, with all its alterations and amendments.
