ALONG THE LINE.

Growth Out West.—(Continued.) SUMMERSIDE.

Tux improvement of Summerside is not so marked; and you will hear many good seople say, ‘‘ Oh, its all owing to the Rail- way!” The cars, crowded daily with men bent on buying and selling in Summerside, suggest some other cause. It is probable that to the remarkably rapid expansion of Summerside, we may more correctly ascribe the more than common depression said to exist there during these universally un- fortunate times. However that may be, do not, for truths sake, go way with the idea that Summerside has ceased to grow and improve. That the two newspaper offices of the town have recently received a fresh coat of paint is a very gratifying sign of general improvement ; and you have only to look at the splendid stores and ware- houses, erected within the past five years by Mr. R. T. Holman and other enter- prising merchants,—you have only to take a walk up Central Street and see the taste- ful residences recently erected by Messrs. Kelly, Muncey, Graves, and many others whose names you do not know,—to have the illusion that Summerside has ceased to grow effectually dispelled. The fact is that Summerside, like many other places on the Island, has been improving a little too rapidly—has been adding too quickly to her capital—-to admit of easy living at the pres- ent time on the part of her enterprising inhabitants. When, by dint of preseverance, her people have recovered from the effects of their extraordinary efforts to excel, Summerside will again flourish asa green bay tree. The Railway will, undoubtedly, to a certain extent, change the character of her business ; but her people have too much energy to permit the large business which she may legitimately transact to‘slip from their hands. They evidently perceive that a good education is a matter of prime im- portance ; for one of their latest efforts has been the erection of a very fine schoolhouse. This building is situated in the upper part of the town, and not—as the new schoolhouse of Charlottetown—in the boggiest part. Its length is seventy-six feet its width forty-two feet—with two flats’ The ceilings of the class rooms are thirteen and twelve feet high respectively. It hasa one story brick wall with a French roof. This latter, with two centre towers, give the buiiding an ornamental aspect in strik- ing contrast to that of the ugly pile recently erected at the west end of Charlottetown. The entrances are from the sidos, and a roomy corridor, sixteen feet broad, runs between them across the building. In this corridor are staircases leading to the upper fat, and cloak rooms lead from it to their appropriate class rooms. On each flat are four class rooms. Each room is 28 by 23 feet. The lighting of these rooms is from the back and left side of the pupils as they will be seated, so that no mass of light will come directly before the pupils’ eyes. The lower flat will be appropriated to the girls; the upper to the boys. The girls will have private entrance to their class rooms. The ventilating and heating arrangements of the rooms are ingeniously connected. Hot air will be produced by stove furnaces in the basement. The intention, we learn, was to produce hot air by means of steam or hot water; but, under a false idea of economy,

the trustees were induced to adopt the dry |

hot air method; and the lungs and brains the pupils are destined to be literally dricc up. However, the dry hot air will be con- ducted from the basement through tin pipes to each class room, and ventilation is effect- ed by means of openings in the floor be- tween the desks. These openings con-

nect with ducts leading up to the roof, and these ducts stand close to the hot air pipes. The heated

air, on entering the room, will rise to the ceiling and force the vitiated air, which col- lects principally about the pupils’ desks, down through the ducts in the floor, and thence to the roof, where it escapes, or, in windy weather, is drawn off by means of

| patent ventilators. Taken altogether, the

inew schoolhouse reflects creditibly upon the |

‘liberality and enterprise of the people of | Summerside, and upon the skill of the archi- | tects—-Messrs. Sterling & Harris, of Char- ‘lottetown. There are several other notice- | able objects of recent growth in Summer- |side, but we must haste away, for the train will soon be off.

The Attempt to Rob Weeks & Co’s Store.

John Cavanagh and Patrick Lamb,

the persons arrested on suspicion of entering the store of W. A. Weeks & Co., on ‘Tuesday evening, appeared before the

Stipendiary Magistrate this forenoon for examination. ‘Twelve witnesses were ex- amined in the matter viz: Messrs. W. A. Weeks, James Patton, Benjamin Holden

-|(watchman), Sergeant Cameron, John Mc-

Phee, Albert Stephenson, Officer McKinnon, Arthur Amos, Wm. Hughes, H. Mathews,M. McMahon and R. Dewan. The testimony of the first four witnesses related to the manner in which the store was entered,and how the would-be thieves escaped. Their statements were nearly identical with the report in our issue of yesterday. The other witnessessaw the prisoners afterthe window was burst flee- ing from the place. Albert Stephenson was standing at Mr. M. Stephenson’s store. He testified to hearing the crash caused by bursting the window; and, after hearing it, he ran toward Weeks’ corner. On the mid- dle of the street he was passed by two per- sons, whom he identified as the prisoners. The smaller one (Cavanagh) ran down Sydney Street, and the other (Lamb) ran down Queen Street. He _ told Officer McKinnon the way they ran, and the officer followed. Ofticer McKinnon tes- tified to following the one who ran down Queen street, who, to the best of his knowl- edge, was Cavanagh. He followed him to the corner of Dorchester and Pownal streets, where he left his sight. When the officer arrived at the corner of Pownal and Dor- chester streets, the prisoner Lamb was standing there ‘‘ out of : breath, as if he was after a run.” He seemed excited. He asked Lamb if he saw any one running by, and he (Lamb) said, “there was a fellow passed there, jumping mountains high.” Arthur

Amos identified Lamb and corroborated Mr. Stephenson’s testimony, saying that it was the taller of the two

(Lamb) ran down Queen Street. William Hughes, who is better acquainted with the appearance of the prisoners than either of the witnesses, identified both and said that Lamb ran down Sydney and Cavanagh ran duwn Queen Strect. Messrs. McPhee and Mathews’ evidence was unimportant. They could not identify the prisoners. The witnesses McMahon and Dewan had some little conversation about the attempted robbery. McMahon swears that Dewan told him in Peake Bros. blacksmith shop yesterday morning about 7 o'clock, that Cavanagh and Lamb attempted the rob- bery. Dewan swears that he did not tell McMahonanythingof thekind ; but says Mc- Mahon told him that ‘‘Paddy Lamb would have a new suit of clothes on Wednesday night.” One swears directly in opposition to the other, and from appearance they know more about the matter than they wish to tell. Both were slightly under the influence of liquor at the time of the con- versation. There are a number of other witnesses to be examined, and therefore the prisoners were remanded for eight days. McMahon in the meantime remains in cus- tody.

(We are informed by one of Mr. Weeks clerks that the key was not left in the outside of the rear door. He thinks that one of those who entered mast have done so through a broken fan ight and opened the door.

I ne

( Written for the Examiner. ) A Canadian Stream.

There is a stream in distant lands, That through the wild wood floweth,

Greenon its banks the maple stands And lithe the alder groweth ;

And gleaming birches fleck the shade

Where solemn pines obscure the glade.

Through the long summer days no sound But nature’s woodland voices

Disturbs the dropping silence round, While the soft stream rejoices§

Adown its leaf-embowered way

With peaceful woodland roundelay.

And when the falling night glooms creep O’er all its pleasant places,

When dark, mysterious shadows steep In black its silver spaces,

Still with that sweet accordant song It murmurs through the night along.

In memory seated by its marge Life’s devious road seems clearer; All beauteous things are writ more large, And all things good grow nearer; All constant things and true I see Reflected in its purity.

Type of a calm, confiding soul Accepting ways before it,

In joys whose waters constant roll, Or when fate’s night lies o’er it

Cheered on by airs which never cea3e

The music of a mind of peace.

Paris, 1878.

Notre Dame has lost an ornament which was, perhaps, her most conspicuous one. A fortnight ago high winds swept over Paris and one of the strongest gusts blew away from the spire of the church the gilded weather-cock which surmounted it. The dethroned bird is nowhere to be found. Whether he plunged headlong into the river or was picked up from the pavement by some unpatriotic and sacrilegious pedes- trian, man knoweth not. Within the outer frame of that bird was concealed a heap of minted metal. The collection included every French piece of money current in France, whether of copper, silver or gold, from a centime to a hundred franc piece. There were in addition coins of one de- nomination or another bearing the faces of

all the sovereigns of Europe.
