ea eee ea The Rink Carnival.
Tur Rink Carnival is always anticipated
as one of the most delightful entertain-
ments of the winter season. [here 1s 4
fascination in the graceful movements — the fanciful dresses of the skaters, oo move to the sound of music through ‘a decorated gas-lit room, which ray wage draws mn and women alike from the cosy fireside into the chilly air. We were no surprised, therefore, to see—no atees ing tle stormy day preceding ; : ae well tilled with spectators. ndeed, t . bricht frieze of faces which surround . the s ene was perhaps the most pleasing feature of the occasion. We are quite oat tain that it was eminently pleasing to the Rink Directors, who could be seen regar\ - ing it in evident expectation of ; - peo spective dividend. We fee! tolers pn that it was pleasing to many of the sKaters as thoy i
** Glided by with upturned eye. seeking the admiring glance of friend or lover. Even to the not particularly in- teresiod spectator it must have been — ing ; for what more pleasing study : an the human face divine? And _ here there were hundreds of human faces, forming one
nd living circle! erin other adornments of the Rink were not, perhaps, quite so elaborate as those of past years. But, as a set-off to this, the desceiidants of
double force—the Band of the 82nd Bat-|
talion and St. Patrick’s Band vying with each other in friendly rivalry. The music was excellent.
The ice was in good condition, and the performers both larger in number and, on the whole, better dressed than at last years Carnival. But there were no gods cr god- esses. The unseen worlds were represent- ed by but one, solitary, wicked, but very attractive and tastefully dressed fairy. We are inclined to think that this fairy, witha perversity characteristic of “ the fair, called herself ‘‘a wicked fairy,” when
she should instead have called her- self ‘‘a witching fairy.” However this may be, ‘“ February,” appropriately
: 3 ? ait ritt Fea e 5 dressed in a handsome light suit, with feet)
only in black—we suppose to represent the ‘‘ February Thaw,”-—presented a pleas- ing appearance. The,‘‘ SilvergThaw,” too, came in for a large share of attention, and in the reflected light of the gas jeta, shed a mild radiance over the scene. Nor must we forget the deft and graceful ‘ Silvia,
and the beautifully trimmed ‘* Christmas |
Tres, —both much admired. After these come the Kings and Queens in goodly array. There was the ‘‘ Forest Queen,” to match, with ‘‘sweet attractive grace,” the fine, tall muscular appearance presented by the heroic “* Coeur do Leon.” ‘The brave ** King Harold,” all in magnificent attire, found none of equal rank to be his queen ; but the proud young ‘* Gipsy Princess’ seemed not unworthy of his love, and the **sweot little buttercup, dear little butter- cup’ was certainly good enough and pretty
enough to claim the admiration of any king. The miniature ‘‘ Earl of Essex” was
** just perfect”’—so the ladies say. ‘‘ An old Gentleman of the Last Century” and ** Some Eighty Years Ago,” are entitled to our ‘best respects ;” .and_ the little Quaker and Quakereas have an air of quaint and quiet self possession, which render them specially interesting. The young ‘‘ Indian Chief” and the ‘ Indian Girl” were remarkably well-dressed. ‘‘Me- thuselah’s Widow” was indeed a great mys- tery, and ‘* Rags” was as impenetrable as he was active and funny. The clowns were all excellent in their way. There were many other very good characters which we have neither time nor space to notice par- ticularly. 5 LADIES’ LIST.

Public Meeting at Lot 8.
' ;
LOCAL WANTS DISCSSED—-WHARF AND BREAK- WATER AT WEST POINT.
A meeting, called by the electors, ¢ nd and at which the different representatives | of the district were requested te attend, was jheld at the Springtield Schoolhouse, | O'Leary Read, on the 27th ult.,-for the | purpose of making known to Domimion end | Local representatives of the district the | peculiar requirements of the Vestern part. | = After choesing Mr. Henry Welsh Chair- ;man, and appointing a aecretary, reports 0 itwo meetings, held respectiveiy at Cape | Wolfe and West Point, were read, aiter | which it was announced by the Chairman ithat a petition for a breakwater at West
| names, lay on the table, but as neithe ‘ of | the representatives of the district in the | House of Commons was present, it need i not be then read.
| A unanimously signed petition, praying |fer the opening of the Locke Road, was | brought to the notice of the meeting.
| Mr. Samven Minvey said an extension ito the wharf at West Point was needed. About fifty feet fram the end of the wharf
'a bar prevented a schooncr
irom coming ; hearer the wharf, for fear of grounding. |The wharf is therefore avoided by vessels ; | whereas, if 100 feet were added to it, the | difficulty would be removed.
| Mr. Joun Yeoinclined to the opinion | that Dominion Government should ‘ West Peint wharf. Its having been begun as a local work is the great obstacle in the way of inducing that Geverament to take it in hand. Whatever additions to the wharf are necessary tor the business of the coun- try must now be made by the Provincial Government. Its having stoud the storm of last October proves its suitable situation. Notwithstanding the difficulties in loading referred to by Mr. Kinley, he knew that several schooner loads of produce had been shipped from that port last fall, and, had the people the shipping facilities asked for, the exports would be much increased. ‘The delay in opening the Locke Road is not only a serious inconvenience to those who are settled on the road, but also debars many others froma privilege of consider- able importance.
Mr. James Ricwarps said the construe- tion cf a breakwater at West Point, and the extension te the wharf at the same place would not interfere with each ether and might be carried on at one and the same time. He had called the atten- tion of the Commissioner of Public Works to the sand bank blocking up the read lead ing to West Point wharf, but was lately in- formed that nothing his yet been done to remove the obstruction. ‘he people being so far from the Railroad are entitled to some compensation for being excluded from the privileges enjoyed by those living nearer the line.
Kix. Bentamin Rooers referred briefly to the local wants of the district. He said a very important measure was discussed during ths last session ef the Local Legis- lature, and the same will probably be a subject for the next session. He referred to the question of the abolition of the Leg- islative Council. He voted against the House of Assembly Bull because it did not provide sufficient safeguard to property : was so dangerous a bill that the gentleman who introduced it inthe Upper House, ex- pressed himself as having no faith in it, and it was vastly inferior to the Legislative Coiincil’s Bill, in an economical point of view. The House of Assembly was not elected as a whole Legislature, but they endeavoured to arrogate to themselves this exclusive authority, and wanted the Coun- cil to assent to this usurpation, and resign the confidence reposed in them, into the hands of men who were not elected for the purpose of being so trusted.
Several electors present addressed the meeting, after which the following resolu- tions were passed. On motion of Mr. J. Currie—
Resolved, That it is the opinion of this | meeting that the Constitution of the Island, remain unchanged. On motion of Mr. John Crawford—
Resolved, That a vote of thanks be ten- | dered to the representatives of the district | Present for the manner in which they acted | during the last session of the Local Legis- | lature, S. McKacurrn, Secretary.

STOGK-TAKING.
K hereby inform the pub-
lic of this city, and the Island generally, that previous to Stock-taking, we have re- solved to clear out as much of our Winter Stock as possible. We are aware that at this season it is hard to get people to buy even at reduced prices; but in the face of this difficulty we have made up our mind to adopt full measures, and sell our Wool Goods and Dress Goods at a sacrifice.
Our Goods have been very cheap all winter, as the run of trade we have had fully testifies. Our store has become the resort of those Ladies whe know how tomake a penny go a long way, and who know a cheap article when they see it; and when we say we are going to reduce the prices of our Dress Goods and Trimmings, we know we shall be believed. We are particul- arly anxious to clear out our present Stock, in order to intro- duce as much of the newest style
of Dress Material as possible, }
and at the very lowest prices. We shall make special prices on Black Cashmeres, Black Meri- nos, Black Cords and Lustres, Lustrines and Brilliantines.
Our Fancy Wool Goods will be sold at less than cost. Our Stock of this class was the larg- est, most select, and finest in the city, and the remains of it will be sold at a great sacrifice.
Blankets, Quilts, Horse Rugs, &e., will be cleared out at great Bargains.
We make no apology to the Tea-drinking public for drawing their attention to our fine flavored and rich Teas, 32, 36, and 40 cents per lb. They are receiving the highest praise, and those who use them, strongly recommend them to others. Our trade in this article is growing rapidly. Tea appeals te the most subtile of the senses, and as the proof of the pudding is in the eating, so the proof of the Tea is in the drinking. Friends, try it.
