or the next, and he would remain in jail I pay the debt honestly, While he was not an adveeate for the imprisonment, he was aware that the power of the creditor to imprison had a salutary influence upen ve debtors. His honor who had just kon had not as much « xperience in this matter as he (Mr. Strong) had. © The jail was vo place for an honest’ man, and it

was rarely an honest man got there, It was against the interest of the creditor to put an honest man in jail. The clause s partial and would operate against the very class whose necesities were greatest. if man were imprisoned for @20 and could show he had acted honestly he weuld be set at liberty, and why not allow the man who might be imprisoned for $25 the ime privilege ?

Hon. Mr. MeGill understood one of | their honors to say this provision was | daly intended as an expériment, and he | was afraid they would have to try further | riments next year. He had intended to intféddee a stevestion’ to amend the |

w.of attachment so as to give the credit- or power to attach” wages or income, ~but upon consulting the law elerk he found thatavery lengthy bill would be required. lle hoped the subject would be taken up

x session.

Hon. Mr. Dodd would support striking out the clause and hoped that next session a bill would be passed to abolish imprison- ment for debt altogether. The clause uld induce parties to go in debt for] re than $20 who could not get credit for lesser sums. The clause would be in- jurious to both creditors and debtors. Hon. Mr. Reid had been doing busi- ss for a number of years with good and 1 customers, but had never committed man to jail, except one, and that was r attempting to commit fraud. If the lause were passed he believed many would ke advantage of it and would perpetrate ; wud.

lion. Mr. McEwen had not heard any sound argument in favor of imprisonment for debt. He thought it should be abolish- ed except fraud should be shown. As their honors were in favor of abolishing imprisonment for debt he did not see why

they should be unwilling to pass the lion. Mr.Laird was disposed to support the motion, to strike out the clause and let the House of Assembly devise a mea- | sure to abolich imprisonment for debt al | together. A man who was in debt $25 uid have as much protection as his | neighbour who only owed $20. To be

Hon. Mr. Dodd said that during the present winter many of laboring classes in Charlottetown were out of employment, and if they could not get credit many of them would be in want. Many of them were honest men, but there were some who were only made to act honestly by the fear of the jail.

Hou. Mr. MeDonald said that every session a large bill was introduced to en- able the merchants to collect their debts. ‘Three years ago they passed a very large County Court bill, and every year since there has been an amendment to it, but here was another larger still.

Ion. Mr. Laird suggested an amend— nt with respect to confession of jude-

‘

t which was also adopted. Further progress was then reported and | Llouse adjourned for one hour. Che

Hlouse being again met, a bill to amend |

ct relating tothe running at large of | HORSES, CATTLE AND SHEEP,

certain school districts in Queen’s

inty, was read the second time, and on

lion. Mr. Laird said the Act proposed

(Jueen’s County, to prevent the running

t larve of horses, cattle and sheep,if they uld consider it expedient to do so.

| |

ple. Jt was a'step in the right direction though he would prefer making it binds ing, but it might not be applicable to

some parts of the country,

iTouse in committee.

Hon. the President was satisfied that a bill of this nature was required in the country, and he would support it, He had seen persons from the country who were opposéd to the bill when it was passed for Queen’s County, but were now asking for such a measure, It would be in the power of school districts to put the law in operation or not, as they thought proper.

Hon. Mr. Munn was aware that droves of cattle and horses running at large sometimes did a great deal of injury, for they often broke into fields and destroyed erops. A compulsory measure might be oppressive in newly settled parts of the country, but as the bill was permissve he would support it.

Ilon. Mr. Balderstou was glad to find that representatives from Prince and King’s Counties, who opposed a measure of this kind two years ago were now in favor of this bill. At amendment to in- clude geese was objected to by the House of Assembly two years ago, but he trusted that this bill, containing the provision to prevent geese from running at large, would be aceeded to. He considered the bill highly necessary, and those districts opposed to it could continue the old sys- tem.

Hon. Mr. Strong approved of the bill

}and thought there could not be any ob-

jection to it, but there might be some fifficulty in reference to geese. As they could fly he did not knew how'they could hg prevented from going at large,

Hon. Mr. Laird was well aware that zeese could fly and swiur also, but it was If two- thirds of those in a district qualified to vote for trustees were in favor of putting the act in force, a reeye would be appoint-

/ed whose duty it would be to enforce the

law by devising means to prevent animals from running at large. That, he con- sidered, was one of the best features of the bill. Many of our laws, though good

| in themselves, remain inoperative, because

there was no means of putting them in force. It was not pleasant for one neigh- bor to enforce the Jaw against another, but by the bill a man would only have to in- form the reeve, if animals were goiug at large contrary to law, and he would be bound to perform his duty. He had no doubt but an expert reeve would find means to prevent geese from flying.

Hion. Mr. Strong approved of the bill but thought there should be some seale of eharges for taking up animals found at large,

Hon. Mr. McDonald said he was glad to see geese included in the bill. They were a greater annoyance than any other

| animals running at large, and would de- | stroy more in a grain field. Almost every |

farmer suffered from their depredations. |

[t was easy to keep them from flying if their owners desired to do so, were not included he would be very eareless about having the bill extended to King’s County.

Hon. Mr. Bajderston observed that there was a provision to prevent bulls from running at large, aud allow oth«~ cattle to be at liberty. Ifa district should so desire, and also to prevent cattle from running at large at certain seassns, It required a two thirds wote to put the Jaw in force, and wheu that was obtained the minority should submit. All those liable to pay school agsessment..would have a right to vote.

Hon’ Mx. Laird submitted an amends ment feqtiring notices to be posted in distriets adjoining those in which the law was put in force. Cattle often strayed from ope district to another, and it was simply au act of justice to notify districts adjoining those in which the law was put

in force. The bill-wotld give the people power to say how long they would have

the law in force, and what months of the year. That provision was not contained in the former act.

The amendment was adopted and -the bill was reported from. committee agreed to without an amendment.

A bill in further amendment of an Act to Incorporate the City of Charlottetown was brought up from the House of-As- sembly by Mr. L. H. Davies, and read

BANK RETURNS,

Ilon. Mr. Strong presented to the Hlouse copies of returns of the several Banks of P. i. Island for the past year.

COUNTY COURTS.

The County Courts amendment bill was again referred to committee.

Hon. Mr. Strong observed that the chief clerk in Charlottetown had to provide an office at the expense of $100 a year,Avhile the clerk at Summerside had an offiee pro- vided for him, He thought this was unfair.

Hon. Mr. Munn considered it strange that a member of the Government should condemn himself, The Government should place all the chief clerks upon the same footing.

lion. Mr. Strong said the matter had only been brought to his notice yesterday. Ile did not think it could be said, strietly speaking, that the Government had found an office for the clerk in Summerside,but there were rooms to spare in the new Court house and the gentleman was occupying one of them. It was just as well to have those matters brought to light.

Hoa. Mr. Dodd said it just reminded him of what Ms honor from Alberton (Mr. Reid) had said, that the Govern. ment were negligent of their duty. Some clerks received $200 for doing very little while others who were toillng from morn- ing till night, and day after day, received nomore. He had no personal knowledge

of the matter just brought to light, but

it was like many more of the actsof the Government. It was very unfair ond should be remedied at once,

lion. Mr. Balderston did not know that the- Goverument were to blame, though he was not the apologist. The

If geese |

to |

lerk |

law did not require the Government find offices for the clerks, but if thee . in Summerside could get an office free of rent he could no not be blamed for t ik | ing it.

Hon. Mr. Strong said it was creditable to | Prince County that there were rooms to spare | in the building referred to, His honer from Fort Augustus (Mr. McGill) proposed to fill the building with some of his children, but he hoped he would not succeed. He (Mr. Strong) hoped there would always be room in the jail in Prince County. \

Hon. Mr. McGill said it was gratifying to | hear his honor’s open confession, and hoped hig soul would derive all the benelit | from it whichtit was calculated to afford. Ile thought the Government should allow th clerk for Queen’s County an oflice in the new

It was not the design ‘}had been asking for a measure of this| of the framers of the bill that any awards kind, though not by petition this year, | should be set aside on account of technical

objections, but that they should be sent back to the Commissioners to be amerded, The Supreme Court, however, had thought pro per to make them null and void, and to re quire, in some cases, thatthe work should be gone over again, by the 28th section olf the Act, certain things had to be taken into account by the commissioners in making their awards, but they had not been fairly and fully set forth and expressed, and there- fore, according to the finding ofjthe Supreme Court, the law had not been literally com- plied with, though in spirit it was. The bill was intended to remedy that defect in refer- ence to future awards. Then, the judges bad thought proper to make certain awards in- valid because the boundaries of estates had not been defined and fully described, In the case of the Montgomery Fistate the awards was not completed when one of the Commis- sioners resigned and the work would have to be gone over again. Then there had been some delay in notifying certain proprietors on account of difficulty in ascertaining who the owners of the Jands were. Al! those de- fects and omissions were intended to be remedied by the bill.

Hon. Mr. Laird was sorry to find that a bill passed with the unanimous approval of the Legislature, passed with the best inten- tions, and designed to meet the whole ques- tion, had not been entirely successful, and that it was necessary to pass a bill ancillary. It was to be supposed that the Judges of the Supreme Court knew their duty, and ac- cording to the British Constitution they were held as above suspicion. There was no rea- son to suppose that they had not carried what they conceived to be their duty, but their decisions had necessitated further en. actments, and additional expenses would be incurred, He presumed there would be no opposition to this bill. He observed that there was a clause requiring the titles of land pur- chased under the act of 1875 to be placed in- disputably in the Government, There was a possibility of disputes arising, for there were some lands held by adverse possession. When large proprietors held their estates by possession it was not surprisng that their éxample..was. followed by parties holding small tracts of land. He wasof opinion that it would not only be diffleult, but decidedly wrong to attempt to disturb those parties. If the government would attempt to act up to the strict letter of the law there would be cases of great hardship, and perhaps tnjustice would be done. There was no doubt, how- ever, but the Gouernment would be disposed to favor the-occupiers of land, and if there was any danger it would be of going to the opposite extreme. He thought the Governs ment should not sell land which had been acknowledged by the neighbors to belong to certain parties though those lands were notall enclosed by fence. This might not be aceording to the decision of the Court of law, but if the Goverument received land tax from those parties it would be hardship to disposess them. It would not be adv able to introduce any amendment to meet those cases, as the introduction of any new matter might obstruct the passing of the bill. He was satisfied that ne Government would be found in this Province who would attempt to take Jand from those whq heid it by mere possession. The tendency of former Govern- ments had been too lenient in that re- spect. Large amounts of arrears of rent were due to the Government,and instalments from those who had purchased their land from the Government. He thought this matter might be safely intrusted to the good sense and generosity of the Government.

THE INVALID—A PEN PICTURE.

See her pallid countenance, but a short time ago the picture ci ruddy health, the envy of the school and the pride of the household. She was always welcomed by her schoolmates, for her little form and pleasing disposition carried cheerfulness irto their ranks. Diligent, punctual and ery obedient and graceful at home, she won the hearts of all. But, alas, we are.sorrowed. Those rosy cheeks and ruddy lips are blanebed by consumption. The voice once so enchan ing in laugh and song is feeble husky and supy lanted by a hollow cough. Let us approach he couch gently and take her hand. Do not shudder because of the feeble and pas« ‘sionless grasp. The hand once so hearty aud plump is emaciated and shows bony outlines, while the cords and tortuous veins are plainly snapped upon the surtace. The pulse that bounded with ae and imparting life, beauty, vivacity, health and strength, is deli- cate to the touch. The feeble heart cannot propel the thia, seanty blood with force. Must we lose her while yetin her teens ? Companions and frfends gather around with words of cheer and consolation and depart with moistened eyes and quiet steps. Must we lose her? No! there is relief! We can stop this destroyer of our happiness and not suffer the loss of so bright a

em. Something more ig required now than

ietary and hygienic observance, for nature calls for and she shall have it. ‘Take this pleasant medicine. It is invigorating. How it allays the irritable cough, improves the ap- petite and digestion, and sends a healthy tingle through the frame. The blood is enriched, nervous force increased, and the heart bounds with a new impulse. See her face brighten by degrees, the colour is returning, her voice is get- ting clearer, and pleasant words are spoken. The strength faJters yet, but is gaining. Let us take her out in the warm sunshine. In a short time she will be able to go without our aid, a cheerful girl. This delightful medieine must be God-blessed. It is restoring health to our loved one. She isemezging from her sickness sweeter and nabler than betore, and Dr. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery must have the — Reng raised her. . R.

I have, therefore, at the request of a large number of my friends and patrons, opened a BRANCH FACTORY AT CARDIGAN BRIDGE, which is conducted by a competent mechanic, who served his time in the ‘‘ Nonpareil,” and has since worked for several years in the United States—a mechanic who knows his business, and has such an interest in the work as to allow nothing but a faithfal job to pass. Ile and several competent workmen will attend to the wants of the public in that County.

The stock used in the construction of the work will be of the best imported. viz :— American Hickcry, Oak, Ash, Elm, Bass, Whitewood, etc., ete. The iron will be of the best English refined; and Norway and Swedish iron will be used for the parts re quiring extra strength and durability.

Also, in connection with the said branch is a PAINTSHOP, which is conducted by a first-class carriage-painter, who will attend to the painting of new and second-hand work for the public.

N. B.—Persons wishing work done in the Carriage, Sleigh, or Farming Implement line, will please call,and they will be treated courteously and fairly deait with. All kinds of REPAIRING, including Mowing Machines, done. Prices Moderate; Terms
