‘Hard Up!

We have lately had many significant in-| dications that the Opposition Party are| pretty * hard up” for political capital. But, | than the following Grit papers in stronger proof is needed :

“Yeo, of P. E. 1., who has just arrived, reports the Isianders terribly exasperated at the terma of the contract.”

Now, in the first place, Mr. Yeo left the {sland on the 15th December ; the Pacifie Railway contract was not published in Prince Edward Island until the evening of the 14th !

In tho second place, the Island is not terribly exasperated at the terms of the eontract. They are, in fact, greatly relieved by the news that the contract has been made, and by the assurance that

ratified by Parliament. Shey are relieved!

A Public Meeting.

Tue decisiun of the meeting of the Re- form Club held last evening, will be seen in our advertizing columns two-day. If the ** discussion” be fairly conducted, and if both sides of the question be equally weil presente we have not the slightest doubt that the terms of the Pacific Railway Con- tract wiil be endorsed by the public meet- ing to be held in the Market Hall on Thurs- day evening.

Ability of an Islander Recognized.

We are in receipt of a vory interesting and instructive pamphlet entitled, ‘* Ad- dress to the Geographical Section of the British Association by Lieutenant-Genera! Sir J. H. Lefroy, C. B., K.C. M. G., R. A., F. RB. 8., F. R. G.S., President of the Section. After dilating upon the vast additions made to Geographical knowledge im recent years, and to the discoveries of surveyors in the United States, the dis- tinguished gentleman says :—

‘‘Very different in their character are the sarvey operations of the Canadiana Govern- mentin the Northwest, where the problem presente’ is to prepare a vast territory, wholly wanting in conspicuous peints, for being laid ous in townships of uni- form area and farms of uniform acreage.

The law requires that the eastern and western) Thanksgiving for the blessings temporal and boundari+s of every township be true astron-| spiritual of the past ycar, and prayer for-their

emical meridians; and that the sphericity of the earth s figure beduly allowed for, so that the northern boundary must be less in mea- surement than the southern. All lines are re- ‘qured to be gone over twice with chains of nn- equal length, and the land surveyors ehecked |. y astronomical determinations. In earrying out this operation, which will be seen to be one of great nicety, five principal meri- dians have been rigorously determined, and in part traced—the 97th, lW2ad, i06th, 110th, and 114th; and fourteen base-lines, connect- ing them, have been measured and marked.

Une of these, on the parallel of 52° 10, is 183}

mileslony. Kleven sstronomical stations have been fixe since i576, and from these sixty- six determinate points have been fixed in lat- titude, forty-five in longitude, often under cenditiors of no little citticulty from the severity of the climate. Theclaims of Messra Alex and Lindsay Russel!, of Mr. Aldous, and Mr. Kin, the ofsevverr, to rank as scientific travellers, will, 1 am sure, be warmly recog-

mized by i is Section, -

Terrible Accident.

THE FRONT FALLS OUT OF A BUILDING —oNnB | MAN KILLED—THREE MEN SEVERELY INJURED. :

Ar 10 o'clock this morning a terrible ac- cident occurred at the store of Messrs. tf Prince and

Kent streets, which resulted in the death

of Mr. Patrick Trainor, a well-to-do farm-

er, of Johnston’s River, and the injury of

Messrs. Patrick Trainor, (uephew of the

deceased) also of Johnston’s River, and

Francis McNutt and James Gillan, of this

city. The men named were all in the

store when they heard a loud noise above

Mr. McNutt was behind the counter, and we were standing around the stove. We heard a loud noise up atairs. ‘Ve all madea rush forthe door. The three of us were caoght together in the debris.

will be all right in a few days.

Francis McNutt, Esq., states: I was in the store near the front window paying the deceased Patrick Trainor for oats. A young man named (illan, aed another young map named Trainor, (nephew of the deceased) were in the at the stove. | heard a roar above my head, and looking up, I saw the whole front of the building failing. Various small articles fell on my head. My leas were caught in the debris. I saw Mr. Elijah Pardy passing, and asked him to assist me out. He didso. My head was badly eut, but | am otherwise uninjured. , Lemuet Warient, Esq, made the follow- statement: About 10 o'clock [ was in the office in the rear of the building. Mr.

He was bleeding about the head, apparently cut by glass. The men were fastened in the ruin. The deceased —Patrick Trainor—was taken out and carried for treatment to Dr. Jobn- stons. The other men were liberated after- wards.

It must have been the weight of the flour and oats on the second and third stories that caused the accident. here were two hun- drvd and twenty barrels of flour on the second story, and one thousand bushels of cats on the third story.

The cellar wall of the building was a good one. The basement floor is supported by four pillars of brick, and the foor of the sec- ond story is supported by two iron pillars which rest on the pillars of brick. I believe the accident must have been caused by the weight ou the upper floors.

The building which is of brick was erect ed by its present occupants in July last. It is three story high by about thirty feet broad and fifty long. From the exterior it had a very substantial appearance. Asit now stands it ronsists of three walls and roof. The floors of the second and third storeys having fallen to the base.

The cause of the accident cannot be rightly ascertained, but it will doubtless come out during the inquest on the body of the deceased man Trainor.

The information conveyed in this para- | ¢o Christ. graph is interesting ; but, to us, the recuog- |

nition (from so high aquarter) of the ser- viess of ir. Mont Aldous, is t y far the most satisfactory part of it. Mr. Aidous has, we hear, very decidedly and emphatically, made his mark as a surveyor in the employ of the Department of the Interior. He isa rising member of the staff; and we hope some my! to hear that he has arrived at the head t.,

The Peace River District.

Sir J. H. Lefroy, in his address (before alluded to) says :—

**I can add my tostimony to that of more recent travellert, as to the rema kable ap-

nt fertility and the exceptional climate vi the Peace River Valley.” ;

{t was recommended that a collection be taken at the close of each meeting for the benefit of the poor. The Alliance then adjourned to meet in the same place on January 10ch, 1881, at 4 o’clock p. m., for the election of oilica bearers and other business.

“Always With You.”

Ow Sunday evening a public meeting of St. Vincent de Paul Society was held in St. Pat- rick’s Hall. At this meeting reperts of the officers were read, showing the work perform- ed by the Society during the first year of its existence. The chair was eccupied by Profes- sor Caven. After the usual routine business, the Treasurer—Hon. A. A. MeDonald-—came forward and read a lengthy report which clearly showed the Society, though yet in its infancy, did a power of good in relieving the peor. For the twelve months just ended, we learn, ‘from the report, that appropriations were made by the visitors of the Society in six hundred and ten cases, {n three hundred and seventy of those food was supplied amounting to $322.95. In ninety-nime, coal was supplied amounting to $78,42, and Cash was contribu- ted to the amount of $170.65, while the work ing expenses of the Nociety for twelve months

tions a large quantity of second hand clothing and provisions Was distributed wmich are not embraced in the Treasurers report. The Cash receipts of the Society for the year were $644. - 35 made up frem the proceeds of lectures, charity sermons, donations, and collections, taken at the varions meetings of the members, and the Treasurer has on hand at the close ot | the first year’s operation the sum of $52.70.

We may here state that the Society of St. Vincent de Paul was, a year ago, organized, with the object of relieving the poor, by the Rev. A. MeGillivray, P. P., who is aow its Spiritual Director. lt has a membership of thirty, with an average attendance of twenty. The charity dispensed by it is not contined to any particular denomination. Onthe appropria- tion list are the names of members of every denomination in the * city—Episcopalians, Methodists, Presbyterions and others

That the Soviety has fultiled the object for which it was organized is demonstrated by the above report, and the officers and mem- bers are to be congratulated on the success of the work.
