A DRINKING FOUNTAIN AND CITY

ORNAMENTATION,

To the Editar of th Dai ‘i feamine Ps Sir,—Some time ago % communication appeared in f

the Aryjus, signed ‘‘ A friend of humanity,’’ which went om to show the

necessity of having a drinkipg fountain erected on Queen's Square, where all that Wero atlirst might come and drink and

thus have no excuse for the now prevalent habit of going to the publicshouses, and there, perhaps, for the fist time imbibing the seeds of intemperance. That article, no doubt, was a timely one and treated on amatter of very great importance. It was one that should interest all. V'ben we go to other cities we find there those public conveniencies and comforts that very ma. terially show that the citizens of the place take a pleasare in having things nice. If @ city has nothing in the shape of public parks or squares, where the fair ones cen exhibit their delicate handy-work in plant- ing a rose-bush or training a vine, and vie with each other in seeing who can do the most to make their public thoroughfares entertaining and beautiful,—that city has the least in it to make the citizens proud of it, or the stranger to have a very exalted Opinion of those who are the inhabitants. What can be more beautiful and gratifying to the weary pedestrian or to the poor in health, after being in the bustle and dust, or ili.ventilated dweliings—to turn aside into one of those delightful enclosures, or city parks, and, beneath the gree foliage of the shady elm, lime, or locust tree, sit on one of those seats prepared for ail, surs rounded by Nature’s richest gifts of roses and all kinds of flowers, sending forth their perfumes and rich fragrance? Until we have a good healthy public opinion on those matters, and until we can get all to take an interest in the public good, 1t will be of little use for the City Council to try to satisfy the public. It is a mitte: of re- gret that the Sons of Temperaice do not put forth more effort in this matter. They mayask the question ‘ What have fine parks and fragrant flowers to do With tem- perance societies and temperance men ?”— Much, “every way. Does not a beautiful and happy home have a tendency to keep a family there, rather than to take pleasure in a gin-sshop? Anddo not those beau. tiful and ornamental resorts have a ten- dency to cultivate the goad and not the evil propensities? It is not man’s nature tobe alone. Therefore, if places are pre- pared for society, society will resort where they can meet with others beside the bad; where, if they desire, they can act and be like those who are patterns of society. Then, could not the Sons be the movers in the matter of having a fountain erected and have fresh water to drink at all times? And especially is this wanted for the coun - try people, who are accustomed to pure water, The water in our wells is not goo}, not fii to drink. None know this better than the people from the country. The citizens might erect the fountain and the Corporation supply the water by con- tract. This much itself wotttl take away some of our reproach, and perhaps would help to remove the stigma that has been cast on us of Charlottetown being “ Sleepy Hollow.”’ I know attempts bave been made to lay out the squares and paint them: but those works have gone the way of all the earth, long ago. Another thing, children should be taught not to meddle with trees that are, or may be planted, as removing bark from a tree, however small, generally spoils its appearanee,

It is no use finding fault with the Coun- cil because those things are not done. They have not got the means at hand to do ali. Although some of the city revenue may be spent foolishly, yet if they placed the whole of the revenue in the hands ot a committee for ornametal purposes, it wguld not be a great deal too much, The citi- zens Will have to go to work themselves,

I am, Sir, yours as ever, A Son or TEMpRRANce.

THE INDIAN TROUBLES.

PortLanp, Oregon, July 5.—The follow- ing despatch has been received from Lewis- ton, via Walla Walla, dated July 2nd:— “Colonel Whipple and his command had an engagement with th» Looking Glass band on Clear Water. Four Indians were killed and Jeft on the field; many others wounded. Tie squaws and children took to the river and several were drowned. Fighting was still going on when the courier left. The Looking-Glass bind is estimated by the scouts to number 400. A courier arrived this morning, having lef{t General Howard’s camp on the night of June 29th. The troops had made a crossing that day, and the scouts who had been out on the hills found stock but no Indians.”

A private letter states that the body of Lieut. Sheiler and several other bodies had been found,

— Of the officers of the .ron Duke’s army who participated in the battle of Waterloo, on the I8th June, sixty-two years ago, there are twenty six still drawing full or half-pay. In 1875-6 five deaths only were reported. There are two officers whose united time on the half-pay list amounts to one hundred and forty-four years,

Eight actions for damages, $2.00 in each case, have been entered against the Semi- nary by the counsel for the Oka Indians for

false arrest.
