A Bie Pay Day.— Saturday last was the pay day at the Walifax Co’s mines in Pictou county, and $16,000.00 was the sum paid to workmen and employees, ever the cashier's desk. This immense sum proves the absurdity of the Grit contention that our mines are in a depressed condition, through the ‘‘ malevolent ” effects of the N. P. In common with all other Canadian industries, the dawn of a better day for our Coal mines set in. The figures given above are sufficient proof of this.—-Pictow Stan- dard.

I need not say that I have no wish to enter into any con- troversy with such a writer as the editor of the Presbyterian, but as it has come to my ear that those who are aiding and abetting him in his present course of action towards me, are busy circulating his false statements, J am thus compelled, in self-defence, to contradict them publicly.
