Doings in and Around Souris.

Politics are beginning to take a boom. Much speculation is rife anent the candi- ‘dates from the Grit camp for the elections next July, although, it may be consider- James R. MeLean will have for his colleague Mr. Frederick Morrow.Mr. Morrow should run a pretty good ticket, did he not have such powerful antagonists as John MeLean, Esq., and Charies McEachen, Fsq., late M. P. P’s.

|Two more popular gentleman could not ‘possibly be selected on the Conservative ,side. Mr. McLean is a successful business

jan, and can also give a very good account | of his stew ardship during the last five years in Parliament. It is true the finances of i\the Province were somewhat low owing no doubt to the absence of taxation, and consequently Mr. MeLean could not expend

‘as auch money in his district as he would | Wish,

still, the people have no reason to complain, and Mr. McLean’s chance for re- election is very good indeed. Mr. Me- Eachen having only enjoyed Legislative a faithful esti-

but, however, he is a strong card, and will

ibe a fitting representative of the honest |yeomanry of the northern portion of the

district. The fact of Mr. McEachen carry- ‘ing two districts last spring by « handsome mi ajority is ‘‘prima facie’ "evidence of

‘his popularity, Altogether two strong- er cards than Messrs. McLean and : McEachen could not be chosen.

| It is currently reported that Herman McDonald, Esq., of Hermanville, is the (probable candidate for the Legislative ‘Council. The electors will mani ‘fest their

| prudence by putting this gentleman forward | for election,

No more popular man could be selected. Mr. MeDonald is well and favorably known within the length and ‘breadth of the Legislative Council district,

‘and his election may be considered certain. | There are rumors of several other gentlemen ‘of Souris

having a desire for Legislative Council honors, but their good sense should ‘tell them, and their concern for party, that ‘three candidates from Souris Village is quite ‘sutlicient, which, after all, makes but a ; sm all component part of the district. Per- lhaps it would be well for the constituents of every electoral district on the Island to try a . few more farmers for their representa- tives in the Legislative Assemblies, _ and curtail, to some extent. the number of mer- chants and lawyers of which our Houses of Parliament are principally made up.

The barque William Owen is loading with oats at this port for Plymouth, Eng. She is six hundred tons burthen, and takes 48,000 bushels cats. The ice is still in Souris.

Mr. Brennan, our artist, has in course of ‘completion two other fine paintings of two

of our Souris magnates—Mr. F. Morrow and Mr. Boysner. The work on * these paintings is highly creditable to Mr.

Brennan. and would be fair for an artist of much higher aspirations. Uncie Tom’s Cain. rt re New Glasgow Notes.

Mr. Lamont has commenced work on the Bridge at this place, and we may expect a safe structure in a short time.

Farmers are very busy, taking advantage of the beautiful weather for putting in crops.

The temperance organizations here are doing good work, The anniversary of the Division was celebrated in April last by a most successful entertainment. Great pre- parations are now being made to celebrate the birth of Clyde Council by a grand Con- cert on the 8th of June. The musical por- tion are fully alive to their work, being determined to make it a first-class enter- tainment.

ee OD Oe — - An Electrical Submarine Vessel.

Some satisfactory trials have recently been made at Liverpool witha new electric- al submarine vessel, the invention of Mr.

J. F. Waddington of Birkenhead. The vessel, which is cigar shaped, is thirty-

seven feet long and six feet in diameter at the centre, tapering off to the ends, which are pointed. A conning tower is mounted on the top of the boat, and her depth of im- mersion below the water surfaee is regulated by external inclined planes placed one on either side, and controlled from within. She is fitted with a rudder placed aft, and has a se f-acting arrangement for preserv- ing her horizontal position.

The crew consists of two men, and there is a supply of compressed air for their use when the boat remains submerged for a lengthened period. The motive power is electricity, which is stored on board in fifty of the Electrical Power and Storage Com- pany cells. These drive a screw propeller, and it is stated that their charge is sufficient to propel the boat for ten hours at a speed of about nine miles per hour, either below the water or on its surface. The cells also supply light through glow lamps, and drive a pump for emptying the water-ballast tanks, which are filled for submerging the boat. A trial of the vessel in the presence of representatives of the Admiralty is stated to have elicited their approval.— ** London Times.”

North British and Mercantile Insu-

rance Company.

{From Edinburgh ‘‘ Scotsman,” 1886}

The annual general meeting of this Com pany was held in the Royal Hotel, Edin- burgh, to-day, Mr. David Davidson, chair- man, presiding. The report for the year, which elosed on the 3ist December jast, stated with reference to fire business :— In 1884 the premiums received amounted to £1,428, 830 fs. Td.; deduct reinsurances, £414,761 12s. 7d.—£1,014,068 13s. Dur- ing 1885 the premiums reeeived amounted to £1,430,145 16s. 3d; deduct re-insurances, £281,633 1s. 1Id.; net premiums, £1,148,- 510 14s. 4d—increase of net premiums. £34.442 1s. 4d. The net losses by fire have amounted to the sum of £615,228 Ls, 5d., which include a full estimate of all claims that arose prior to 3ist December,

29th April,

1885. After setting aside, as formerly, one- third of the net prennums of the year to provide for liabilities on current policies, the balance of the eredit of profit and loss account for

1885, including the unappropriated balance of £55,939 5s. 2d. brought forward from 1884, amounts to £303,429 6s. Lid. In ve- gard to the life business, the report said ; During the year 1885 there were issued 1,099 policies, assuring £895,290, the pre miums on which amount to £32,756 Ls. 3d. The net amount insured in 1885, after de ducting sums reinsured was £754,600; and the net premiums were £27,102 Zs. ‘Od. The net amount insured in 1884 was £749,- 562, and the net premiums were £27,371 3s. 4d. There was thus an increase in the net business in 1885 over that of 1884 of £5,088 in the sums assured, but a decrease of 3269 Os. 7d. in the net premiums, The income of the life branch from premiums and interest for the year amounted to £520,612 1s. 3d. The life assurance fund amounted at 3ilst December, 188), to £3,592,628 Is. 8d,, being an increase during the year of £134,032 2s. lid. The directors recommended that there be appropriated to provide the bal- ance necessary to meet pensions to present clerks the sum of £32.500; that a dividend of 20s per share, and a bonus of 25s. per share, be declared; that £80,000 be added to the reserve, thereby increasing it to the sum of £1,250,000; leaving a sum of £55,- 621 5s 4d to be carried forward. The divisible fund of the quinquennium was £396,919,4s 3d, one-tenth of which, or £39,- 691 18s 5d, fell to the shareholders. Baron Schroder. deputy chairman, moved the adoption of the report. He said that the business of the company was second to none in the world. If they dissected the business and compared it with the business of other companies, they would fing that, although in certain quarters other companies might have a larger business, yet taking it as a whole, there was no business so large as the North British and Mercantile all over the world. (Applause.) The last year had been an exceptionally successful one, and at no quinguennial period had they given such a large dividend and bonus. Mr. George Auldjo Jamieson, C. A., seconded the adoption of the report. He referred at some length to the continued prosperity of the company, which he showed from comparisons with the results of previous years. He said he aid not see any reason why their present prosperous condition should not be exceeded at another quinquennial period, and it was a matter of great satisfaction to the directors that, while they had redeemed every hope for the present, they had laid the foundations, he explained, of still brighter hopes for the future. The retiring directors and the auditors were re-elected, Mr. William Mitchell, 8. 8. C., gave notice of motion for next meeting to the effect that one of the shareholders’ auditors should retire every third year, and be ineligible for three years afterwards. Thanks were awarded to the directors, the officials and agents of the company,and also to the chairman.
