did not recognize bow much g wd that boat waé Going until she stopped. That the Dominron (vovernment agreed to carry

mails and passengers, and it was to their

interests to carry freight as weil. He did not agree with Mr. Prowse in saying that | the people of the Island should have| nothing to say as to how the terms were carried out. He considered we should} make known our wants, and if we| speak loud enough they will be heard. |

He did not believe in petitioning the Local Government as a memorial had been for- warded by the Legislature in 1851, respect ing thie matter, and had done no good. He considered that a better boat placed on the route between Georgetown | and Pictou, aswell as better eccommodation at Charlottetown, Cape Traverse and Sum- | merside. He said it was reported the | “(Northern Light” was not fit the ice this year, and that was the reason | she had been laid up. Jhat the Department | knew it, and that we have a claim on the] Dominion Government for our losses on | that account. He considered the accom- |

should be

to ¢o into |

modation at the Capes very little better than it had been for the last forty years, and that he thought the contract there should | be let by publie tender. He said he be lieved the men who had the contract did | not do all they might do to make the pas- | sage agree able.

L. Kicxnam, Ese., M. L. C., Souris West, said, in supporting the resolution, that if we are not divided we will obtain our rights. He considered the present | leader of the Dominion Government too much of a gentleman not to fulfil our terms as he had distinctly promised to do. He said that Mr. Anglin told him that the Dominion Government intended to give us our share of the Fishery Award in Public Works, and, that in all probability they in- | tended to use us the same way respecting | our steam communication. He referred to the steamer ‘Valetta’ leaving Souris on | the 5th January, 1883, while the ‘‘ Northern Light” was laid up in Georgetown. lid | not consider that was the way they should | be carried out, If the Dominion Govern- ment will not fulfil our terms we must bring | them before the British Government.

James D. Dewar, Esq., Brudenell, con- sidered Mr. Prowse’s ideas on the Terms of Confederation, sound. Considered the Dominion Government should appoint men to say what kind of a boat was the most suitable. We wanted men to represent us who will look after our interest, and who will have the right ring.

Mr. Frep Hoxr, Murray Harbor, con- sidered this a que-tion that concerned beth parties mutually. That the Dominion and Island were in same position as Debtor and Oreditor. That the terms were intended to place the Island in daily communication with the Mainland as in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. That it is not the duty of the Island to point out the means by which the contract is to be fulfilled, as the terms were the free willing offer of the Dominion Government who should be com- pelled to fulfill them.

Tuomas AnnegaAR, Esq., M. L. C., Mon- tague, said he agreed with the demand for the literal fulfilment of the Terms, but did not approve of the petition now being cir- culated for signatures. He did not think we should dictate to the Dominion Govern ment. He would like to know how it was that when it was known that the ‘‘Northern Light” was not fit for duty this winter, that | she had not beer replaced? The Tenant League had its or'gin in Sturgeon, and from | small beginnings had done much good, and | we should now band together and demand | our rights. |

L. J. Westaway, Esq., defended the | “Nerthern Light” and said she had done | good service.

The resolution being put to the meeting | was unanimously carried.

It was moved by Hon. Mr. Prowse, | seconded by Wm. Sanderson, Esq., and carried :—

Resolved, That the Petition to the Dominion Government, as submitted to the people for signature, be disapproved of by this meeting.

| Their chief object is, we believe, to come

to an understanding with the Dominion Government about the maintainance of piers and wharfs on our coasts aud It is contended that Government, the

General Government should maintain these works. The decision of the Supreme Court of Canada in the

Holman-Green case, is that all such pro- perty belongs to the Dominion Govern- ment, and, if so, it seems but reasonabie that the Dominion Government should pay for its maintenance. The deputation will, no doubt, endeavor to get the authorities at Ottawa to take this view of the matter, and to refund the money the Local Government have expended upon piers and wharves since the Island entered the Confederation. They will also, we understand, call the attention of the General Government to the bargain contained.in the Terms of Unior res- pecting steam communication between this Province and the Mainland, and demand its fulfilment.

— The gross impertinence of the Patriot is worthy of note only because its pro- prietor and editor is a member of the Queen’s Privy Council and has occupied positions in which the amenities of civili- zation are usually regarded. It is pot necessary to reter to its attack upon the Commissioner cf Crown Lands; for that gentleman loses nothiog by the presump- tion of the Patriot that he is the writer of certain articles of Tue ExXaminer. Toe Examner’s statements respecting debtors to the public is quite correct ; notwithstanding the fact that the Land Purchase Act was passed in 1875. On further enquiry, we learn that about seven hundred farmers who purchased their holdings under the old Land Pur- chase Acts have not paid a single cent into the Land Ofiice within the past ten years, while, instead of dozens, there are hundreds who have _ been delinquents from ten to eighteen years. Among these latter are men who stand well in the community, talk high in public meetings, make long prayers for the congregation, and pose gravely as elders of the church. While quiet, unpretentious farmers exert them- selves and pay their instalments regularly, as honest men do, these “ respectable persons ”’ go about the country agitating agaiust the Government which endeavors to prevail on them to be honest like their neighbors, The Patriot has championed the cause of these delinquents. We shall see with what success.

Notes of a Naturalist.

Besides the migratory winter species, which come to us in November and leave in April, we have our permanent resident birds. These are few in number, but always residing with us and sharing every vicissitude of our climate, they possess characteristics of more than ordinary in- terest.

That most magnificent of all the hawks, the Gos-Hawk, stays with us all winter. [lis large and powerful form and savage temper, make him the terror of our wood- land scenes. He is never seen abroad sweeping the keen sky in grand circles, like the buzzard in summer time; but he keeps close under the shadows of the forest, where he pursues, as his quarry, rabbits, squirrels, jay® and smaller birds. Travelling in the woods, we may sometimes surprise him rest-

/ing on a snow-covered stump, or cateh a

glimpse of his dark lead-colored form, like a lurking demon, in the shade of the But more frequently some haire

of a rabbit or a few feathers of a jay, mingled with a bloody stain on the snow, /are the only indications we have of his } Vicunity.

He keeps the whole of the leeser wood- We have

birch and pour out half his lay to the wintery sky, while the little flock of chickadees would leave the fr shadows and wander freely in the open, wispering a soft concert of pee-dees. Suddenly a fierce

barking shriek would come trom the gloom of a deep spruce grove, Again it would sound, louder and nearer. jn en

instant the happy avairy dispersed and hid silent in the thickets. Even: oa gay squimnel, that sported near, skulks off to his dotard tree. On comes the noble hawk, scregshing and barking most fiercély, Only the silvery under parts of his plumage are visible as he floats majestically threugh the columned aisles of the naked trees, When he observes our presence, enraged at the in trusion, he makes a feint of a dash.right at ns, and then retreats precipitately to his solitudes, making the forest ring» with his yelping as he goes.

The Merlin or Pigeon-Hawkyjaemall, but fleet and powerful bird, may bé frequently seem “Scouring our snow covered fields. This. was the ladies’. hawk in the days of faleonry In Aprifithey fly in pairs; and thei bold and rapid flight makes them ex- ceedingly graceful objects to watch in their marauding expeditigns.

These sre the only Faleonidz which brave our winters. The beautiful and powerful Peregrine Falcon has gone south with the fleets of ducks on which he preys. The Brown, Eagle and the Buzzards are away to thémilder climate of the Middle States. Ard th@ Pdor, industrious Osprey, that all summer long scoured the s«rface of our bays for the finny treasufes of their deeps, has gone to pursue its winter's fish- ing where the Gulf Stream pours its tepid waters along the banks of Florida and South Carolina, B To His Worship the Mayor: of Char-
