has done to offend the Canada Government that her people should be systematica!ly put aside. Why are Nova Scotia men, or New Bruaswickers preferred for important public offices within her borders? What business has Dr. Tupper, or any one else, to go outside the Island for a man to fill a position on our railroad / Why was the place not given to some one at present connected with the Railroad? It can’t be said that none are qualified. What excuse ean be given for this scandalous violation of our rights. Was it for this we joined the Dominion! Was Mr. Pope, Mr. Brecken, Mr. MgDonald, Mr. Muttart er Mr. Hacket consulted? What have they to say? We should like to hear from them. Yours, &c., Prince County. Summerside, Nov. Ist, 1880.

Rev. Dr. Leeming delivered his popular lecture on ‘* Mary Queen of Scots,” in the Court Honse, at Souris Kast, on Saturday evening, Oct. 50th, Col. Jamies McDonald in the chair. The Chairman on this occa- sion, made a few preliminary remarks, and introduced the Lecturer,

The Rev. Dr. on this occasion, mounted the platform with an extra spark of vitality and grace, which always characterizes his orations. As a master of elocution he ranks first in America, which, on reference to the Press can easily be verified. His language might be compared to a mighty river, sweeping on, and on, carrying with it the purest sentiments, that the hnman mipthis capable of wrestling with. Hiwcalibre aS an orator is undisputed, while his voice, forrich-

will derogate the enconiums he has hitherto received, in other towns or cities of America, but rather supplement to the panegyrics he has so well merited. The peroration was grand, where the unfortunate<Jneen was led to the Executioner’s bleck to be sum- moned into the wide eternity. We must not omit the recitation of, Shamus O’Brien, Which was exceedingly well rendered, and which also created much applause.

AUDITOR.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Sir,-—With reference to the County Court for the fourth cireuit in Queen’s County, I desire to make a statement of facts and leave the matter in the hands of the Legis- lature to deal with as they think best. Firstiy. The County Court Act says that ‘‘the Court is to be held at the Ten Mile House,” St. Peter’s Road,” whereas it is held two miles further West on the said Road.

Secondly. The Fort Augustus people are situate nearer to Mount Stewart than to where the Court is held; and although de- siring to have it located in their own settle- mené, would rather have ‘it at Mount Stewart than where it now is, for in attend- ing the August, October and December terms they have either to travel round by Mount Stewart—a distance of at least fif- teen miles— or ferry across the Hillsborough and then either walk or trust to chance to get a ride to the Court. Nearly always in the month of Deceinber it is impossible to cross the the river on account of the ice being bad on it.

Thirdly. The principal place of business for not only the Eastern part of the Dis- trict, but for the inhabitants of Townships $8 and 39, is at Mount Stewart, whicre nearly all the business men reside, except a few at Fort Augustus ; and there is not one merchant living in the vicinity of the Court, and four-fifths of the suitors in said Court have been from the south side of the Hills- borough and the settlements near Mount Stewart, who have not only to put up with a much greater distance of travelling to Court,but have also to pay the bailiffs costs for travelling nine or ten miles further than if the Court was at Mount Stewart.

As it is, the sound principle that the few must yield to the many, the case cited by ‘Elector’ of a person living at Cove Head or Tracadie, in this instance must not allow the many to be inconvenienced and put to loss for the sake of the few, I may here add that a great many of the Traca die people deal at Mount Stewart, and would be benefitted by the change. The statement in “‘ Elector’s” letter, that the petition sent to the Legislature had on it more names than those that signed it, is an untruth, as well as the one that the agita- tion for the removal of the Court is kept up by these anxions to get the clerkship. The petition was written at the request of the merchants of Mount Stewart, and a .copy of it left at the several stores, where

it was signed as the people came to do business; and I am certain if it had been

N. W. T., Canapba, Oct. 2nd, 1880, To the Editor of the Examiner.

Dear Sik,—Believing that a brief pen and ink sketch from one who has lately ‘* gone over the road” between P. E. Is- land and the great North West, would be of interest to your readers, J drop you a line or two for your popular journal.

We left Sarnia (in number about 40 and odd) on the night of the 28th of May, and made Duluth in five days, and then took train at Duluth for Bismarck, a village on the prairie, about a mile from the Missouri. The country betweea these places is neariy all prairie, well suited for farming, but not much settled. The train reached Bismarck in 24 hours, where we stayed a few days and then proceeded up the Missouri in one of the many flat-bottomed steamers that navigate those rivers. It took the boat ten +} days to get to Fort Benton, a distance by water of 1200 miles; and nothing, I might say, tu be seen but the crooked, muddy and barrow river, with unsettled prainie on both sides. The fuel used by the above mentioned sieamers is wood, a strip of which may be seen growing close to the river in many places, and I was teld that the wood used in our round trip cost $1,100. The time taken te go down from Benton is about four days. We took a horse train from Benton, and after six days slow travelling through poor looking prairie, 160 miles, reached Fort Walsh and camped outside the stockade, where we stayed until August 5th, when all hands, with the exception of a guard and a few tradesmen, camped abaut. two miles from the Fort. to escape the mountain fever which was pretty bad last year, although there has not been one case of it this

ar. ae We have been pretty busy drilling three times a day, doing guards, (and out in camp during night) but Norman, myself, and five or six others came to the Fort a few days ago to do some work and fix up a little, as all hands will be moved in soon, - There were very few Indians here until September, when a pretty large camp of Crees came in, (non-treaty | think) md they have been botherirg the ofticers a good deal about grub, ete. They havea dance

in and around the Fort sometimes, shooting off there arms on _ horse- back and on foot making threats

and a great deal of noise. However, they had a long talk yesterday with the ofticers and the chief Indian agent, at the end of which they shook hands and went away in very good humour. The Indians, with the exception of a very few, wear nothing on their heads and very little else than a blan- ket on their bodies. In fact, they can’t bny much with their money from the agent, as he charges horrible prices for their wants especially, and he does most of the Indian trade, 1 think. Ve saw one large herd of buffaloes when coming up in the steamer, but none since. We had one snow storm on Sept. 10th, which knocked down a few of the tents. Fort Walsh is in a narrow deep valley, with hilly uneven land on either side, and a small river or brook close by the stock- ade. The buildings are all made of logs, with the bark on, and white mud in’ the seams. The roofs are nearly all made of sticks and clay, and most of them leak pretty badly. The country here is hilly and stony, with nuwerous brooks and patches of scrubby wood in the hollows. The weather, which was pretty change- able, is now very fine, and we are mudding up for the winter. Yours truly,

Joun Lesuie, Janr.

| Fever and Ague.

Are you troubled with Ague, Chills and Fever, Bilions Fever, Remittent or Inter- mitting fever, Night Sweats or any disease that comes from Malaria or disordered Liver and Hot Suns! If so, procure a bottle of Green’s Ague Conqueror, which is an acetic extract of strong tonic roots, com- bined with Sulphate of Magnesia, ete , and positively contains no Quinine, Arsenic or other poisons. It purifies the blood, cleanses the liver, spleen and other secre- tive organs so effectually that the chills will not return. We have never found any case of Fever and Ague it will not cure. Price 50 cents and $1.00 per bottle. One large bottle has cured as many as five in one family. Sold by all druggists and dea lers every where. -
