the means adupted by the Davies-Stewart

ombination to cook the public accounts in Mr. W. D. Stewart’s letter to Mr.

ce 18738. James W. Richards throws a flood of light

on the way the bnusinoss was transacted :

‘*IT WOULD BE-WELL TO CARRY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE FORWARD.” ‘TELL HIM TO DRAW FOR THE CONTKACTS, BUT TO DO So sLowLy.” The amount of the con-

tracts here spoken of was one hundred and

fity dollars. Yet the Government was so

coinpletely ‘‘ strapped” that the pompeus

Commissioner had to beg Mr. Kilbride in

13

drawing for that sum, ‘‘to do seslowlyv!

What makes the matter worse is that, at

this date, they had drawn the full subsidy from Ottawa for the year, collected over $25.000 from the Land Office, besides other revenues, and used up over 338,600 which they had drawn from capital at Otiawa!! And they Kilbride to readers

quarters salary to teachers for 1878. They opened their famous. suspense account, paying the more importunate public eredit ors in 1878, but only entering these pay- ments in private memoranda until after the New Year. Altogether, they carried for- ward the sum of $52,000, making the total

OTOGK-TAKING.

7 EK hereby inform the pub- W lic of this city, and the Island génerally, that previous to Stock-taking, we have re- solved to clear out as much of our Winter Stock as possible. We are aware that at this season itis hard to get people to buy even at reduced prices; but in the face.of this difficulty we have made up our mind to adopt full measures, and sell our Wool Goods and Dress Goods at a sacrifice.

Our Goods have been very cheap all winter, as the run of trade we have had fully testifies. Our store has become the resort ot those Ladies who know how tomake a penny go a long way, and who know a cheap article when they see it; and when we say we are going to reduce the prices of our Dress Goods and Trimmings, we know we shall be believed. We are particul- arly anxious to clear out our present Stock, in order to intro- duce as much of the newest style of Dress Material as possible, and at the very lowest prices. We shall make special prices on Black Cashmeres, Black Meri- nos, Black Cords and Lustres, Lustrines and Brilliantines.

Our Fancy Wool Goods will be sold at less than cost. Our Stock of this class was the larg- est, most select, and finest in the city, and the remains of it will be sold at a great sacrifice.

Blankets, Quilts, Horse Rugs, Xe., will be cleared out at great Bargains.

We make no apology to the Tea-drinking public for drawing their attention to our fine flavored and rich Teas, 32, 36, and 40 cents per lb. They are receiving the highest praise, and those who use them, strongly recommend them to others. Our trade in this article is growing rapidly. Tea appeals to the most subtile of the senses, and as the proof of the pudding is in the eating, so the proof of the Tea is in the drinking. Friends, try it.
