PropLe of the country grumble about the Education Bill. But they possess at least ove privilege under it of which the people of Charlottetown are deprived. They can meet and elect Trustees who levy the taxes they may be called upon to pay. Citizens are denied that cherished right of a free people. They are to be feteed to pay taxes to men completely in- dependent of them.

Public opinion here is up to a fever heat about the Railway depot. It is difficult to find a man who can talk cooly on the subject.

GASPE ELECTION.

Tur election for the Local Assembly in Giaspe took place on Thursday last. The candidates were Dr. P. Fortin, late Speaker of the {louse of Assembly, and Mr. F. Flynn, a Liberal. The Padriot says that Dr Fortin was rejected, and that it did not look as if there were very solid grounds for Sir John’s boast that the Conservatives would, at next general election, make a nearly clean sweep of Quebec. Let the Patriot look before he leaps. The teie- grams of to~day confirm Mr, Fortin’s elec- tion by a good majority.

Editor of Daily Examiner ;

Siz,—Now that so much is to be done about the machinery of education, it may be hoped that some improvement will be eftected in education itself; and there is one point upen which I would offer a sug- gestion. It is that when teachers are ex- amined they should be tested so far on their knowledge of English as to see whether they know the difference between “shall” or ‘will.’ It is astonishing how people, fairly well educated, blunder about these words, and our ears are constantiy offended by their missuse. I[ am afraid newspaper editors are as much to blame as others ‘about them. There is scarcely a single number of any of our papers which do not contain some confusion of these words. [am thinking of making a noteo! these, and some day sending them to you. SHALL orn WiLL,

Reinforcements for Besika Bay.

(Special Dispatch to Daily Examiner. } Lonpon, July 9.

The Russians have recommenced the bombardment of Kars, and are forming en- trenchment camps on the eastern side of the city.

fhe Czar has determined to cross the Danube in person.

The abandonment of Montenegro by the

Turks is confirmed. The British Government 1s said to have

information that Russia intends occupying Constantinople, unless Turkey makes peace on the Czar’s term:.

It is reported that powerful reinforce. ments are to be sent to Besika Bay.

Lonpon, July 7.

The mili‘ary situation now appears as fol- lows :-— The Turks have changed fr nt and faced to the westward since the Russian entrance into Bulgaria. The Russian left flink rests on the Danube, facing the Turk~ ish line trom Rustchuk to Shumia. A gen, eral battle is expected, unless the Turks fall back to the Balkans or the Russians mark the whole quadrilateral and turn it by pase:ng the Baikans.

Erzerovm, Ju y 8.

The following 1s the actual position of the forces in Armenia:—The Turkish right wing confronts the Russian left at Utsch and Karissa. Talek Pasha has a fresh body of 12,000 Russians opposed to him near Biyxzed ; another Russian division of 29,000 meu is marching towards Ardahan. Mukh- tar Pasha’s advanced guard is within 14 miles of Kars. Bittles are expected at Utsen, Malissa and Bayazed. It is also be~ lieved that Mukhtar Pasha will be engaged soon. Provisioning of the belligerent aripies is now a matter of great difficulty. A Russian reverse kas occurred at Shumila.

ConsTANTINOPLy, July 8. tedif Pasha telegraphs from Shumla, on Friday: **The Russiims attempted near Biba, a redoubt, after five hours march from Silistria, to disembark troops with artillery, by crossing the Danube on twenty rafts, towed by three steamers. The Turks bombarded the rafte, which precipi- tately turned back. One large raft, with troops and stores, sank; the tugs were damaged,”

New York, July &.

London specials from St. Petersburg say that it is reported that the cause of the dangerous position in which the Russian army in Armenia was lately thrown, was chiefly that Persia allowed a Turkish corps from Lake Van to pass through Persian territory. This corps was thus enabled to surprise the rear Russians at Bujazid and jeopardize the position of a great portion of the army. Keprisals of a most serious nature are considered inevitable, and the position is likely to become further com- plicated. Lonpon, July 8.

Concerning the situstion on the Danube there is no new information, except the des nia.s of the first hasty reports of the rapid advance of the Russians. Tinorva is not in their hands. The fighting thus far reported cannot amount to more than outpost affairs

‘jhe Turkish Danube flotilla remaw su- pine while a single pontoon bridge supplies the large Russian force wita provisions end war material. An ironclad in determined hands might place the Russian army ina desp rate pasition for,the country along the Turkish side of the Danube would not maintain them many days if deprfved of commissariat. It was reported recently that Hobart Pasha contemplated an oper- ation of this nature on the Danube, under \ his personal supervision, but thus far has been restrained by jealousy on the part of Turkish Pashas,

A despatch from Shumla states that the report of the battle at Biela and the repulse of the Russians remains unconfirmed. A

BE NOT DECEIVED BY THE

CHAMPION,

Buli~ you Want to Get Vulue Jor Your Y%oney, Buy a

Walter A. Wood Combined Machine,

a |

MHE CHAMPION AGENTS feel rather sore avout the defeat they got at Cape Jraverse last Seplember by the CELR- BRATED Water A. Woop Macuine, and they took the trouble to go all the way to Cape Traverse to get Mr. Bell to sign a paper they had all ‘‘cooked and dried” be- {ore they showed it to him, containing an uutruth (not on Mr. Bell’s part, but on the part of the Champion Agents), concern- ing the trial of Reapers that took place i his fleld last September. Mr. Beli’s Jetter (not Written by him but by others) says that he had no idea there was to be a trial. If he did not know, his son did, and was oue of the parties interested in getiing up the trial. And it is the son who always drives the Machiue, and who drove it at the trial. The old man don’t drive the Machine at all,

I don’t know how long a time a map wants lo put a machine in order. Mr. Bel) had from merning till two o’clock to pre

pare it. The old man says that he made

ne preparation. It did not want two per- sous,—one was enough to prepare sor the trial. He could prepare an old mowing machine in that time. He says, **I did not notify you [Mr. Booth] of the trial.” He had no cceasion to notify Mr. Booth, for he haa the Agent from whoim he bought the Macniue on the ground; and he knows more about a Machine, and can work it better, than Mr. Booth.

Mr. Bell says bh: was “quit: surprised when he saw Mr. Horne and the Agent of the Wood Machine and their friends coming into the field’ 1 dou’t kuow where my friends were, for | did not kuow one farmer on the ground when I went into the field; aud I ai sure that the Agent of the Wood Machine did not either. I did not know anything about the trial till about 9 o'clock tue evening before.

Mr. Beil says that it was a new Wood Machine that competed against the Cham- pion. It was not anew Machine. It was the very same Machire that the Agent of the Champion paid A. Miller to condemn, aud to take a Champion; s0 you see it was a condemued Machiue that beat the Cham- pion!

Now for Mr, Beil’s own words at the close of the trial; and I can get over twenty farmers to bear me out. Mr. Bell said, the Champion is ‘ta good Machine, for,” said he, “I can cut hay and grain with it; but, if I was going to buy another Machine. I would buy a Walter A. Wood Machine.” He says he is sure that he can gel a good many farmers lo agree with him. Ican tell Mr, Booth t!a:, for every one man he can get, who was at that rial, to say that the Champion wag the best, [ can get ten to say the same thing for the Wood Machine. How was it that two men who had Champions, gos up by daylight next mcraiprg and went to their neighbors (who they heard wanted a Machine), to try and sell them their Champions, before the news got around that the Champion was beaten by the Wogp MAcnine.

Why does not Mr. Buvih get some of the Farmers who were at the fi-ld trial to sign his paper? tle comes out with the name of one single manto his paper, ani fhal nol

The Russians fell back in an orderly manner from Uichkillisa to Ipeak, folow. ed by ‘he Turkish right. ‘Tnere were fre- quent cavalry skirmishes, and a regular en- gagement commenced at daybreak of the 4th, and lasted until two o’clock in the afternoon: ‘The only tact concerning it is that the Russians maintained their posi- tion at Ipek.

The Russians have recommenced, and are continuing the bombardment of Kars, and Dervish Pasha telegraphs from Batoum that a regiment of Russian cavalry, sup» ported by infantry,attacked Ziban on Wed- nesday, and was defeated with the loss of 50 killed and 100 wounded.

That is another of Mr. Miller's good ones, Mr. Miller asked wwe if we had an agent up around Mount Stewart, and I said no. “Well,” he said, “I have a large store at the R. R.

He told me hat his littie boy could drive the Machine betler than he covld. QO, what a man to lest the fairness of a Machine!

Mr. Miller says that the captans cost fim eight dollars apiece. I don’t think he ever paid for ihem. Lf he did, he never paid us.

ALEXANDER HORNE,

Mr. Mitter,—When you sigu your name to paper again about tesiing Machines, you had better learn to work Machiaes bevter than you did last summer, and write your own letters Don't get others to do it for you, and briug you into trouble.
