and though it may not be enforced| by the officials of other Canadian ports they must do their duty; that their attention has been specially called to this partien- lar requirement by a circular from | Ottawa ; that trade has not been at all

hampered by the enforcement of the law, for on reeeiving a sufficient guarantee that the required certificate would be produced within a reasonable period, the goods have invariably been released ; that unfortunately the number of persors

who seem to thiuk it no harm to eheat the revenue is larger than is generally supposed; and that while honest men have little trouble in producing a certified iuvoice, the rogues find it difficult to get tirms abroad to deliberately participate, in a forma! way, in a fraud.

On either hand, there seems to be force im what :is urged. Certaioly the Collector ot Customs here ought not to be blamed for enforcing a requirement of thelaw which is laid before him tor his guidance.

Bat, is the law necessary? Is it not merely obnoxious, seeing that there are Appraisers whose duty it is to value im- perted goods. The very fact that it is net enforced in Montreal and other large ports shows that it is not considered neces- sary; and it not necessary, it should, | when Parliament again meets, be erased | from the book.

In the meantime, it is but fair, either | that the law be treated here as it is else- where—as a dead letter, or that “cer- tified invoices’? be required’ in other ports as well as in Charlottetown ; for their requirement here, and notin the other ports, is practically a reflection upon the honesty of Charlottetown im- porters in particular—such a_ reflection as, we feel sure, the Dominion author- ities would be sorry to muke.

Mail's.

Some important changes have recently been approved by the Postmaster Gen- eral in the mail service of this Island. The mail routes have been rearranged

iSt

to meet the wants of the public, new) offices opened where required, and ad-| ditional service allowed where the in-| creasing revenue of the locality seemed | to render this desirable. We have obtained a list of the changes | which take effect on the termination of| present contracts on the 30th inst., and} they include the following additions : Tri-weekly mails to Orwell Cove, Kelly's | Cros, Lot 30, Bear River, Clear Springs, | St. Margaret's, Covehead Road, Stanhope, Western Covehead, Brackley Point, Har- | rington, and Union Road, in place of semi- | weekly service. Little York has been constituted a for- warding office for the offices in that flour- | ishing district, and will exchange daily | mails with Charlottetown by railway, in| place of present semi-weekly service by | stage. Pisq' id Road (Avondale) and Winsloe | Road to have a semi-weekly service in place of weekiy Northam to be removed from its present } site to the railway station, now becoming a} business centre, and receive daily mails in, place of semi-weekly. Belfast and Orwell to baye. a daily ser- | vice from Vernon River in place of tri-| weekly. Morell to have a daily service in place of } tri-weekly as soon as present contract ter- | minates, | Victoria has been constituted a money} order office, business to open eon [st | October. Clear Springs and St. Margaret’s are to| be served from Bear River Station in order | te shorten the north side route from St. | Peter's Bay, which will not hereafter ex- | tend beyond Big Marsh, se that the courier | on that route can now connect with the re- | turnipg mail of game day at. Head St. | Peter's Bay. | Kelly's Crass and Lot 30 are to be served | from Wiltshive Station insiead of connect- | ing with Crapaud. | New offices with semi-weekly service have | recently been opened at Head Hillsboro, | Piusville, and Rocky. Point. The time allowed for travel on various | stage routes has been shorteued wherever | practicable, and every means taken to | secure despatch and security under new| contracts. :

- — ' A case involving the right of Chinamen, | claiming to be British subjects, to land in | the United States has come up for final de- | cision before Justice Field of the Supreme

Court held at San Francisco. © Having ex- | amined British law governing’ naturaeizn- | tion of aliens, Judge Field will dacide that

Chinamen, when naturalized British sub-/ jects, are only such within the limits of the | colony wherein theit naturalization took

place, and that a Chinamen born in Hong | Kong must establish that fact under a pass- | port issued under authority of the British | Governor before any rights claimed by such

ean be properly considered in the courts of } in the city, at the Di Wuaen Siew

Storm Notes.

About four o'clock yesterday morning 4 moderate gale sprang up from the South, which increased to a heavy gusty gale in a short time and veered round to the South- west, from which quarter it blew heavily until eight o’clock in the evening, when it began to moderate. By midnight it had quieted down to a fresh breeze. The rate of the wind occassionally reached 40 miles an hour.

The storm warning which left Toronto in time to arrive here Monday evening was de- tained till Tuesday morning.

Yesterday in the afternoon, about the! time that the wind blew heaviest, the storm

aud was totaliy wrecked.

The ‘*Heather Belle” broke loose from her moorings yesterday and drifted a short distance up the river. Little damage was done her, however, and she proceeded on her regular trip this afternoon.

The schooner ‘‘Sylvanus McDonald” dragged her anchor from off Connolly’s wharf as far up as the Ferry Wharf, to which her owner, Capt. Paoli, managed to secure her. She received no damage what- ever,

The yacht ‘Carita’ was completely dis- mastéd by the storm yesterday, and re- ceived other injuries as well. The ‘‘Clara Bell,” belonging to Mr. R. F. Quirk, was also damaged, though not so badly as the “Carita.”

Meeting of Presbytery.

A pro re nate meeting of Presbytery was held in St. James’ Hall on 25th inet., for the purpose of receiving answers to calls from Georgetown and Montague, and from Peter's and Brackley Point Roads, and making arrangements for the ordination and induction of Mr. Mahon.

Mr. Lord, having declined the call to Georgetown and Montague, the Presbytery accordingly set the call aside, and expressed their sympathy with the congregation in this disappointment.

Mr. Mahon having intimated his accept- ance of the call to St. Peter’s and Brackley Point Roads, the Presbytery agreed meet at St. Peter’s Road on the 4th Oct, at 11 o'clock, to receive his ordination trials, and at 3 o'clock for his ordination and induction. At this meeting Rev. K. McLennnan, M. A., was appointed to pre- side, Rev. John McLeod, of Strathalbyn, to preach the ordination sermon, Rev. Wm. Scott to address the Minister, and Rev. Wm. P. Archibald to address the congrega- tion.

Rev. Hector McQuarrie was appointed to preach in Woodville and Little Sands during the month of October, and Rev. Alex. Ross in Georgetown and Montague, and Rev. J. K. Bearisto in Tignish, Mont- rose and Elmsdale, for the game month.

Death of a Respected Citizen.

On Sabbath morning, Sept. 23rd, Mr, James Parkin, of Union Road, passed away at the advanced age of eighty-one. He was a mati of kindly, benevolent disposi- tion. He endeavored to do his duty both to God and man. While firmly attached to his own church he was a_ lover of all good people. Possessed of a strong, active physique, it seemed as if he would rally from the sickness which produced his death. Funeral took place on the 25th. The ministers who took part at the house were Revs. Messrs. Steel, (deceased’s pastor), Tredrea and Lord. Mr, Steel and Mr. Tredrea conducted the service in the Bible Christian Church and atthe grave. The funeral was very large.
