We regret that injustice was done

the City Council respecting the erection |

of posts for telephone wires. It seems

that the posts are being erected by the}

Telegraph Company ; and that Mr.! James duly notified the proper City Official. The official, however, failed to |

When

in the dark about the matter. therefore citizens complained to theCouncil | that the telephone company was improp- erly putting up posts, aud threatened to hold the Council responsible for dam- ages, the Mayor, as a matter of course, referred the case to the Recorder and the Recorder advised the meeting of the Council and all the proceedings which were taken. The difficulty arose out of a misunderstanding as to the Com- pany by which the posts were being put down ; and if the council are to blame at all, it is for not requiring their official to promptly report all notifications, such as that of Mr. James, to headquarters.

—The Patriot enlarges (sarcastically, we presume) ou the tremendous exertions put ferth by the Local Government ia the recent election ; and says that so far as the opposition were concerned, the battle was left to the electors alone. Why, in the second district of Queen's County, Ex-Governor Laird, Ex-Speaker Beer, and Ex-Member for Belfast, Mr. William Welsh, were all in the field urging on the fray. And there were cther leaders of the party on active duty for the occasion. There was Donald C. Martin, Esq., the honorable and astute

member for Belfast, and there was, we believe, the active, energetic, redoubtable Secretary of the Reform

Association himself; besides many more leaders of less consequence! On the part of the Government, the only mem- bers who were at all actively engaged in the contest were Hon. Messrs. Ferguson and Prowse; and both the Candidates they aided were returned. There is no evidence whatever that the Government co-operated in the organization of the campaigo,—several of their Candidates were not announced till the very day of the nomination, and they seemed to have acted, asa majority of their supporters acted, with a good deal of easy, but culpable, indifference. The Grits are at the Polls—ieaders and led—one and all—every time. If the Liberal Con- servatives were equally well led, equally well organized, and equally energetic, they would always be triumphant ; for they comprise much the largest propor- tion of the people, and, as a Party, they

are never—well hardly ever—io the wrong.

Fermers in this Island have little idea of the difficulties under which farmers in the Old Country labor. Here are two paragraphs from the London Live Stock Journal, (Nov. 3.) which will give an idea of what they suffer on account of the weather alone :—

‘* Wind and rain have combined to con- siderably retard farming operations In many districts. It ia difficult. to estimate the losses incurred by farmers, but the number cf cattle and sheep which have been drown- ed in flooded pastures must be extensive. At Stroud on Saturday a number of sheep were drownd ; and at Northampton Market the few farmers who braved the storm reported that the long-continued rains had very seriously affected agricultural operations All efforts to prepare arable land for future crops had been completely checked, while the pastures, especially the lowlying mea- dows, were so saturated as to be unfit for stocking. Many farmers have had to wade through meadows breast high in water in order to get in their cattle.”

And again, —

* Probably the greater half of the har- vest is still unsecured in the northern parts of Derbyshire and Staffordshire, and the chances of securingit are so far remote enough. Storms of wind and rain sweep frequently over the district, and the corn is being sadly injured. It was latter than usnal this year in ripening ; hence the de- lay, in port. Some of the older farmers, who have learnt wisdom by experience, al- ways cut their oats at a given time, wheth- er they are ripe or not, because the climate is risky after the advent of October. Much of the corn now ont is sprouting badly, and will be only fit for forage as it is. I[t is probable that tho farmers will have to cart it in as they want it, chaff it, and feed it to stock withoutthreshing it. It will make good forage this way, andthe oats are fit for nothing else.

Tue following story regarding the Joyce murder is current in the West of Ireland : Mrs. Joyce, one of the murdered family, wit- nessed the sinking in the lake of the bodies of Lord Ardilaun’s bailiffs, but was so terrified for some time she did not venture to tell any one What she had seen. One night, however, she could no longer keep it to herself and des cribed to her husband what she had seen cer- tain men do. This was overheard by her son, who shortly after being bullied at school by another boy, cried out, ‘‘I suppose you want to murder me and throw me into the lake as your father did the bailiffs.” The boy having repeated this to his father the latter and his confederate determined upon their dreadful crime of massacreing the whole family of the Joyess in order to put out of the way such awkward witnesses of their former guilt. Phe story seems too circumstantial to be fin- true, nor is it easy to see why it should have — vented. At any rate it offers a very sufficient explanation of the massacre, the

THE DAILY HXAMIN

i on . : The Storm and the Railway. The snowstorm of Sunday night and yes- terday was very seve.e over the whole road.

Snow was extremely neavy and packed into

ice quickly. Trains were stuck at various points on the lin lelegraph lines be- tween Mount Stewart and Souris were

broken in twenty places on account of the | snow and sleet accumulating on the wires. Telegraphic communication east of Char- lottetown w suspended until late in the | aftern: mn

several hours. No assistance could be sent | to them from here on account of the tele- graph line not being in operation.

Last evening the accommodation train |from Charlottetown for Tignish had two cars off the track in a snow drift a mile east of Summerside caused by ice forming on rail,

The express from Tignish for Charlotte- town, remained at Summerside all night, and the afternoon train from Charlottetown for Summerside remained at Kensington.

Men were at work nearly all night replac- ing the cars, Owing to the prevailing storm, it was a laborivus job,

Trains east of Charlottetown are on time this morning; those west are late on account of snow abd accumulated freight.

Bank of P. E. Island. To the Editor of the Examiner.

.

Sir,—The result of the settlement of the affairs of the P. E. Island Bank is likely to be disastrous. The liquidators do not appear to be acting wisely. The writer will venture to assert that since they have been appointed, not counting the results of the sales of land and ships, they have not eol- lected enough to pay their current expenses. What we want in this business is a clever, bold business man—a mamwho knows what to do, and who will do it promptly. They should collect, or settle on the best possible terms, what accounts are fairly good; and not expend their time on the rest. These should be sold to people whose business it is to collect such doubtful amounts. Any appeal to them to stay legal proceedings should be peremptorily refused, unless it in| for the benefit of «the estate. It is wrong to grant any indulgence to a debtor ox account of private or political friendship A certair man in this city owes the estate about $900. A judgment has been obtain- ed. He asked the liquidators for time. They granted it. Now they know, as everyone knows, that it is a maxim with this man never to pay his debts until he is forced. They may regard it as an excuse that this man has transferred his property; but the debt was tramsacted before 1880, and consequently the man can be imprison- ed. If an execution had been served four months ago, the money would have been paid before this.

The Bank premises were sold to the Bank of Nova Scotia in the spring. There is some quibble about the title; but it can be arranged with a little expense. ‘Months have been allowed to elapse without com- pleting the bargain; and now itis the interest of the purchasers to back down, as, owing to their ‘amalgamation scheme, they can find suitable premises elsewhere. The liquidators should settle the title at once, and then compel the purchasers to close the bargain.

The worst of the whole business is the way in which the estate is being devoured by law expenses. For no con- ceivable reason they brought a lawyer from St. John. They had him here six or eight days, and paid him about four hundred dollars. Their own lawyers, if any were requiredy could . have done the very trifling business well enough. They have, also, constantly engaged a lawyer, who is engaged to de every trifling business. He has charged a retainer of $50, which is for the purpose of retaining his valuable ser- vices ; although it is known he was anxious for, and schemed to get, the business. He charged $20 a day for sitting beside Mr. Barker in the business above alluded to, although he did not work one hour a day. It was the duty of the liquidators to have directed him, after giving the necessary in- structions to Mr. Barker, not to attend the Court at our expense. He has now a bill of $1,100 and he wants this paid before the work is completed. Asa lawyer, he knows the importance of this step. This bill of $1,100 is besides the bill of $1,400 which he charged the directors. In the interests of the many people who are interested in this settlement, including many who are virtually ruined, we appeal to Judge Peters to stop this vulture-like business. It is said this law business is only fairly begun. If then, at the threshold, one lawyer alone has presented bills to the amonnt of nearly $2,500, what will be the result? The share- holders would, in most cases, pay the sums demanded of them, if they thought that the creditors would be benefited ; but when the probebility is that the money, so obtained, will be squandered in law and other ex- pences, itis imreasonable toask them. On every conievable point, law questions are raised, and long and tedious arguments will take place. Who is to pay for this? Surely, surely Judge Peters can and will check this law business.

it will be well for creditors to take advantage of the opportunity, which the law allows them, to hold a meeting under the authority of the Judge; and make arrangements to procure an ex- planation from the liquidators without any further delay.

The Bank of Nova Scotia—The Amalgamation with the Union.

Hacirax, Nov. 21.

On Monday, a special general meeting of the Shareholders of the Bank of Nova Scotia was held at its head office for the purpose of considering a proposition for the amalgamation of the Union Bank of Prince Edward Island with the Bank of Nova Scotia, and determining on the same if it was deemed advisable. The meeting was largely attended and was very harmonious. The stockholders generally agreed with the amalgamation scheme, and passed a resolu- tion authorizing that the directors have the necessary legislation enacted to effect the amalgamation. Another resolution was also passed. It was to the effect that the capital of the Bank be increased a quarter of a million for the purpose of amalgama- tion,

A Midnight Horror. {Lines written on the burning of the Poor

House Asylum, at Halifax, N. 8., Nov. 7th, 1882. }

‘Tis night ; the hour is twelve; The lights of heav’n hang in the briliiant dome; Night—sable night—enfolds each silent home In slumber’s arms; In sweet repose the midnight sleepers lie; Mortals awake ! awake! but ah, to die! Frantic alarms.

’Tis night; the brazen bells, In wild appeal, sound forth alarum notes, Shriek after shriek from out their rusty throats Falls on the ear; A living mass moves on the scene once more ; The pauper’s home is wrapt in flames, that roar In mad career.

‘Tis night ; the engines play ;

"Tis life or death—tive hundred souls are

there—

The lame, the blind are shrieking in despair ; The danger’s braved :

Blow after blow the stabborn door must bend;

Now men of heart the winding stairs ascend ; Thank God they’re saved !

Not al]! the flames arise Through slated roof, shooting athwart the sky, Piercing the clouds inawful mimicry,

As if to vie The comet’s flight; while ’bove the flames arise The shrieks of burning men—heart-rending

cries— O God ! they die!

"Tis morn ! and naught remains, Sosp, Saeheney walls and tarreta standing ign, In bold relief against the cold grey sky ; Sevulchral mound ! No piercing cry! burned ‘neath that fiery wave ! A pauper’s home—how changed! a pauper’s grave The dead have found. G. B, M. Flat River, P. E. L., Nov. 18th 1882,
