To Mr. and Mre.

LEPTERS TO THE

Stipendiary Magistrate

UDG TOR,

and Police.

Mr. Eprror,—Observing in a late issue of Tue Examinrr, that on Tuesday next, the Chief Magistrate of Charlottetown will deliver his charge to the police in reference

to their sworn obligations -to carry out the present laws of our city, the friends of temperance dare hope, that the Stipendiary may so emphasize

his charge in referenca to the Canada Temperance Act, as shall lead to very different results to those that have been the outcome of police efforts and conduct for years past.

Now, Sir, every citizen possessed of or- dinary perception can see, that while the sole direction and control of the police are entrusted to the charge and responsi-

Stipendiary rests the responsibility of the carrying out of the duties of the police. If the police will not act, replace such by men that will.

In the notice referred to it is intimated that suchlike charges have usually been given to the police. Are we to have simply a repetition of the charg*s, and nc- thing further and more effective? If so, then we may readily conclude, that ar, the same cause fever has and ever will produce the same effect, under the same circumstances, the same results must in- evitably follow. We hope for better things. Weask forthem. We are deter- mined to work for them. Our citizens have been called upou—several times called upon, to assist us with their contributions, in carrying out the laws. To the call the citizens readily responded; and hundreds of dollars have been expended in fighting the very evil# which have been the outgrowth of neglect of duty somewhere— most surely on the part of those who are paid and sworn tocarry itout. With euch,

sir, patience is ceasing to be a virtue. We wait a little longer, and watch ! Scotr Act,

Scott and Indian Act Convictions.

S1x,.—On the 6th inst., Edmund Wallace, of Alberton, was brought up on a warrant before John T, Weeks and Henry Gordon, Hsqrs., J. P.’s for Prince County, for violat- ing the Scott Act. Refore he went to bed that night he was convicted for two offences against the Scott Act, and fined $100 and costs or five months’ imprisonment, and also convicted for selling intoxicents to Indians and fined $50 and costs or three months’ im- prisonment. He took a free trip to Summer- side, ou the following Monday, to inspect the Summerside jail and perfect his appeal

Sad Drowning Accident, WITHIN A STONE'S THROW OF THE SHORE, (From the Digby Courier, March .)

.

A most painful accident happened here on Monday, which has filled two houses with sadness, and casta gloom over the entire community. Between the hours of twelve and one on Monday afternoon, Joho Walker, a young man of seventeon years of age, cousin of the Rev. J. S. Brown, while standing on the shore shot a duck, and being anxious to get it, asked Huestis Burnham, a friend of about the same age, and eldest son of Edmund Burn- ham, Esq , to go with him. They launched a small punt and pushed off on their fatal errand, The day was very cold, and the weather set in so thick and blustry that objects « short distance from the shore could not be seen, and in a little while they were lost to sight. As the young men did not return, within a reason- able time, fears began to be entertained for their safety, and towards evening boats started out in search of them, but no traces of their whereabouts could be discovered. Early on the following morning the tug boat David Duncan continued the search, coasting the shores of the Joggin and Bear. Island, but with the same fruitless results. All hope of their being alive was now given up, and a boat with apparatus for grap- pling, manned by Messrs. Daley, Rice and Hains, proceeded to the place where they had been last seen—-directly opposite the spot where young Walker’s gun was found resting against a rock on Hawkesworth’s Point—and in a short time recovered the body of Huestis Burnham.

As soon as the state of the tide permitted, several boats continued the search for the other body which has, up to the present time, proved fruitless. The punt was sub- sequently found among the ice at the Racquette, where it had drifted with the tide.

Few events so sad as this have occurred among us. John Walker was, about a a month since, received into the Baptist church, end was intending, during the present spring, io go to his father in California, Huestis Burnham had but recently returned home from the United States, where he had been during the winter. Both were just on the verge of manhood and had apparently before them many years of active life.

The body of John Walker has since been recovered,

[The John Walker referred to above was anative of this city, and gandson of the late Rev. John Davis. He left here for Digby, N. S., about five years ago, where he resided until he met his untimely death. |
