An old and respectable cow of this city, owned by our fellow-townsmen—Mr. Pat- rick Sweeney—took violently ill on Queen Sqyvare last evening about 7 o'clock. The cause of its sudden sickness, it is said, was owing to the confiding cow swallowing some loose paper—Grit organs no doubt—for, as they are known to lie fearfully, the cow imitated their bullying example, and lied on the Square several hours.

TERRIBLE AcctpENT.—As the schooner George F. Hatheway, of St. John, was passing through the Federal street bridge,

-at Boston, on Saturday, the mate, John W. Steves, standing near by, had his left leg caught by the vessel's hawser, and be- fore he could extricate himself his limb was cut completely off. The leg was caught near the ankle and the flesh terribly torn up to the thigh. Officer Clough of Station Six, took the unfortunate man in charge, and had him conveyed to the City Hospital for treatment at once. It is thought that the accident will not terminate fatally.

Srrancr tidings come from England in connection with the Fisheries award. The French Government claims to share in the $5,500,000 awarded by the Halifax Com- mission. The ground of the claim advanced is that French tishermen have, by the treaty, the right to take fish in the shores or rivers of a portion of Newfoundland, and the right to cure the fish taken on the shores of that portion. The Treaty of Washington grants a like right to American fishermen, and the French Government contends that as the value of the French right must be lessened by participation therein by Ameri- can fishermen, a certain proportion of the amount awarded for that participation ought to be paid to France. Lords Derby and Salisbury, successively English Foreign Secretaries, have refused to entertain the claim. But ithas not been withdrawn. The claim seems a ridiculous one, requiring a good deal of cheek to press it; yet it may give rise to trouble by-and-by.—St. John News.

(Passed by the City Council 19th July, 1878.)

Be it therefore enacted by the City Council of the City of Charlottetown as follows :—

1. There shall be paid by the occupants or owners of Freehold or Leasehold Property within the City of Charlottetown, for City and School purposes, the following sum, that is to say, the sum of ‘Twelve Cents onevery Dollar of the rental for the current year ending on the twenty-sixth day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred seventy. nine, aceording to the valuatious entered against the names of each and every person in the Valuation Book of Real Property made by the Assessors of of the City of Charlottetown, and returned by the said Assessors to the said City Council on the twelfth day of July, in the year of Our Lord One Thousand Eight Hundred and Seventy-eight.

SYDNEY COAL. REDUCTION IN PRICE !

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC!

HE GENERAL MINING ASSOCIA-

TION (Limited) beg to intimate to the Public that the price of SYDNEY COAL has been

Reduced to $2 per ton of 2240 Ibs., a price which it is hoped will place it within the reach of all consumers.

The opening of the new winning at ‘‘ THE SYDNEY MINES” and the fact that the SYDNEY COAL now being shipped is all from the DEEP taken in connection with re cent improvements in the process of screening, affords purchasers a positive guarantee of the very superior quality and condition of the SYDNEY COAL now offered for sale.

It is a well-know fact that for many years past the prices of other Cape Breton coals have been regulated by the rates fixed for SYDNEY COAL; but while it is true that other coals, to get a sale at all, have been pressed on the market at various prices under the current rate of SYDNEY COAT, it is no less true that, taking into account the superior lasti

cooked

. a. 4

qualities of SYDNEY COAL when com with other Cape Breton coals, the advantage, both as to economy and convenience, is in favor of SYDNEY COAL, even at a much higher price.

The General Mining Association (Limited) regret that they should again have to caution the Public against the attempts being made from time to time to induce them to buy in- ferior coals purporting to be ‘‘ EQUAL TO SYDNEY,” “SUPERIOR TO SYDNEY,” ete., etc., while some yet more unscrupulous vendors have not hesitated to advertise their coalas SYDNEY COAL (from some designated locality). All these efforts to sell coal by such means are only so many admissions on the part of those who make them of the sraNDARD character of SYDNEY COAL.

It has come to the knowledge of the Asso- ciation that in frequent instances parties giving ‘orders to truckmen and others for SYDNEY

COAL have been furnished with other and | inferior coal. The Public are cautioned against | permitting themselves to be imposed upon in | this way. | Every vessel loaded at THE SYDNEY | MILNES is furnished with a certificate of her cargo being Sydney Coal. Parties purchasing ‘should satisfy themselves by demanding the

production of this certificate.

The ‘‘ Sydney Ceal” is registered under the laws of the Dominion, and unauthorized parties “SYDNEY COAL”

are hable to prosecution. CUNARD & MORROW, | Agents G. M. A., Halifax, N. s.
