Duncan C. Ross, the champion athlete of Canada, and William Miller, the wrestler, are to run and walk twenty-six hours, for $500 a side, at Baltimore, June 5.

A wumBER of gentlemen were summoned before the Stipendiary Magistrate this fore- noon, forthe non-payment of the Dog Tax. These are the first prosecutions attempted under the new bye-iaw. We learn the names of fifty Se of unlawful dogs” have been hanced in to the Clerk of the City Court, and, unless the taxes are immediately »aid, they will be prosecuted.

At the Stipendiary Magistrate's Court this forenoon, Francis Began was sentenced to 14 days’ imprisonment fur vagrancy, to be exact- ed on the next offense. George Henderson, George Davison, George Thorne, George W. Miilner and John Holman were summoned for the non-payment of thetr Dog Tax. Davison and Holman were dismissed on the ground that the dugs for which they were taxed did not belung tothem. The others were ordered ‘ imme liately pay their respective taxes or elwe they would be compelled todo so with costs.

Art three o'clock, on Sunday morning, a fire originated in achimney of a house on the corner of Pownal and Dorchester Street. The fire extended to some boards at the lower part of the chimney, and would, undoubtedly, have extended over and consumed the house, were it not for the prompt action of one of the oc- cupants who succeeded in extinguishing it with water which he carried from a pump in the neighborhood. The fire alarm was rung, and ‘‘ Rollo” engine was taken to the scenr, There are many complaints abcut the ineffi- ciency of the alarm. These are not without

ounds. We know of but few who heard the alarm yesterday moruing.

ANsiversary.—‘‘ Blooming Hope” Division celebrated its thirteenth anniversary at Alex- andra, on Saturday evening, the 22nd inst. The Chairman, Wm. Wood, P. G. W. A., had the honor of being one of the charter members. He was giai to say that after years of labor the Division had at last survived the liquor traffic in that District. The Chairman then introduced Bro. J. J. Chappell, Most Worthy Sentinel of the Order, who was warmly re- ceived. He was pleased, in response to the kind invitation of the brethren, to be present to-night. It was a matter of congratulation that the old Order of the Sons of Temperance was in a flousishing conition to-day, re. larly-in P. E. Island. However widely we may differ politically. religiously or otherwise, as Sons of Temperance we all agree in this, that the liqu >r traffic is au evil, aud that it is the duty of every good citizen to assist in re- moving that evil. Bro. William Burhoe briefly referred to his conne tion with ‘* Bloom- ing Hope."" and hoped to live to witness many gatherirgs of a similar nature. W. a. Hayden, P. W. P., ina few well-chosen remarks cougratu'ate! the Divisio i oa its thir- teenth birthday, and urged upon the young members to be true to their plelge. J. Bur- hoe, P. W. P., made the speech of the even- ing. He had takea a Jeep interest in ** Bloom- ing Hope” since its organization. It had out- lived the prophecies ot some of its enemies, and he believed it would yet become a perm- anent organizstion. He said he deprecated the fact that certain professed temperance men were, at the present time, canvassing Char- lottetown in the interest of a well-knowa liquor se!ler an'l brewer. He would not sac- ritice his principles for his paity. The addres. ses were interspersed with excellent singing by the choir, and with recitations, as follows: ‘The Wreck of the Schiller.” by Lizzie Bur- hoe; ‘‘ Tke Drunkard’s Wife,” by Prudence Wood; ‘*George Morgan's Life,” by Mary Jenkins. A dialogue—‘‘The Motto of our Order "'--was well rendered by Miss G. Jud- son, Frank Judson and Delia Judson. The meeting was brought to a close about

Orrawa, March 22.

Owing to the Minister of Militia being in attendance at a meeting of the Cabinet Council to-day, the deputation in reference +o the payment of the rations of volunteers called to Montreal last 12th July had to postpone their visit. ;

_ Wm. Flaherty, of St. John, safe manu- ‘acturer, is here to wait on the Minister of Finance relative to the duty on that article.

The hardware deputation which waited on the Minister of Finance complained that chere was not a proper classitication of their goods in the tariff, and collectors were al- ceady giving different interpretations to it. Even the Commissioner of Customs and Dr. Young gave different opinions as to the proper classification of some articles.

What the deputation desired was that a proper and uniform classification should be given to co loct. rs.

W. W. Darling and a deputation from the crockery and Glassware trades, Mon- treal, are in the city for the purpose of waiting on the Minister of Finance relative to the duty on these articles.

Advices from Cape Town, of the 7th, state thatthe Zulus have destroyed the road from Tugelda to Ekowa, and seemed deter- mined to do their utmost ta prevent relief from reaching him. Relief before the arri- val of further reinforcements seems aban- doned.

There is much suspicion as to the loyalty of the Finzors, who constitute a large and powerful tribe.

The sickness among the soldiers of the garrison at Hebmakaar is deplorable. Of the 5) Carboneers, 11 only are fit for duty.

Negotiations to detach Cefewayos bro- thers and followers from the Zulu Chief, have apparently failed.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

S1r,—In the Patriot of Saturday last, I notice a scurrilous letter signed ‘‘ Sen- tinel,” dated Murray Harbor Road, and headed ‘* Letter from Belfast.” My object in noticing it, is simply to let the author know that he is detected beneath the mask he so awkwardly bears. ‘‘ Sentinel” does not reside at Murray Harbor Road or any part of Belfast, butin Charlottetown. Thelate popular and talented representative of Bel- fast will not suffer by a comparison with his slippery assailant, either in ‘* com- plexion” or anything else. As for ‘‘ pri- vate life,” the less said the better.

To the Editor of the Examiner :

Sin,—The Leader of the late Govern. ment—Mr. Davies -is reported by the Pat; iot newspaper to have made the follow- ing statement, in the Market Hall, on the evening of the 20th inst., in speaking of monies paid to parties by the several De- partments of the Government, he says:

** Those persons who had a right to receive the monies due them, could have forced me to pay their just demands. If I had dared to refuse to carry out the provisions of the law, the Lieutenant-Governor would have dismiss- ed me as unfit to carry on the public business of the colony.”

And further on, in reference to the same matter, he says :—

‘* We left behind us no old debts to be paid three moutos’ after due. I think this talk about an empty Treasury is very curious, gentlemen, and I shall take good care to muke the Opposition give a strict account of every cent of the money we left there.”

Now, sir, in justice to the coming Gov ernment as well as myself, [ claim that the amount of $40 has been justly due and owing t> me for some time past by the de- partment of Public Works; and I have done all I could to collect the amount, and so far have failed. I have been told that I must petition the Governor-General of the Do- minion to grant permission to sue for the amount in the Supreme Court of this Pro- vince, as there is ne law on the Statute Books of the colony which will allow me to sue for the same. By giving the above in sertion in your paper you will oblige,

Yours respectfully, CuarLtes McGrecor. March 24, 1879.

To the Electors of Charlotte- town, Common and Roy- alty :

ENTLEMEN,—Having, at a large and influential meeting of the Liberal-Con- servative Electors of Charlottetown, Common and Royalty, been nominated a Candidate for your suffrages at the coming General Election, { have accepted the nomination, and now solicit your support for myself, as also for my colleague, the Honorable Neil McLeod.

In the late Government, as a Free Scheol man, I performed that which I considered to | be for the true interests of all classes, by assiat- ‘ing to place on our Statute Bouks a thoroughly non-sectarian School Act. This Act, although it may —like most others —require amendment, has, I am pleased to believe, proved generally acceptable to every class and creed in the Province, and all now cheerfully agree that its non-sectarian principle must be kept in- violate.

I rejoice that the harsh line of religious party differences has been obliterated, and that all denominations can henceforth stand shoulder to shoulder for the — of striv: ing in unison to carry out such measures of economy and retrenchment in the Administra- tion of Governmental affairs as the changed as- pect of commercial and other business matters in the Province have rendered absolutely necessary.

Should I have the honor to be returned to the Assembly as one of your representatives, an object of mine shall be to meet all reasou- able and. honest endeavors that may be made to lessen the burthen of taxation, which, in the present state of general financial depres- sion, is undoubtedly necessary; and to aid any legitimate legitlaiios that may tend to the well-being of every class in the commun- ity, and particularly of mechanics, who, as a body, through their own magnanimity, have aot in the Assembly a representative from among themselves.

I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, G. W. DeBLOIS. “ Ch’towa, March 20, 1879.-—he pres ar ne 2i

‘o the Electors of the Third Electoral District of King’s County:

GENTLEMEN,—The action of the late Government in retaining office for many months after they had lost the confidence of the House of Assembly, and their contention on the floor of the House that they still possess the contidence of a majority of the Electors, aaving necessitated an appeal to the consti- tuencies at this inconvenient season of the year, I beg respectfully to solicit a renewal of the confidence you so generously re in me in Junelast. In doingso I have also to ask for your endorsation of my appointment as Commissioner of Public Works for this Province.

Notwithstanding the heavy taxes imposed on the people by the late Government, their extravagance has been such as to place the Finances of the Province in a highly unsatis- factory condition, which demands economy in the public expenditure. To effect thir, measures for the abolition of the Legislative Council, the reduction of salaries, and other controllable expenditure, and the re-organiza-
