Tue L. J. Westaway arrived in this har- ! bor yesterday and was met by a messenger who ordered her to sail immediately for Boston. The captain disobeyed this order, and the vessel was shortly after boarded and seized by the official assignee for the benefit of the creditors of James Duncan & Co.

Some mischevious person, concluding the celebebration of Hallow-eve last night, re- moved the seat and cushion from Mr. Richard Coady’s express wagon, which, up to the present, has not been found. As these articles are valueless{to anyone but the owner, it is to be hoped they will be res tored without delay, and thus make ‘‘Richard himself again.”

THe produce shipments from this port to-day were as follows: Emma _ Brown, Boston, 2,000 bush. potatoes, by W. H. Farquharson; brigt. S. W. Colymore, New York, 5,490 bush. potatoes, by J. Hughes; achr. Alice Reymond, Baltimore, 2,800 bush. potatoes, by J. Hughes; brigt. Al- pheta, Queenstown for orders, 24,750 bush. oats and 450 pieces deal, by Peake Bros. & Co.

A young man of this city who, it is said, can appreciate a joke, practiced one recently which for the life of him he cannot now ap- preciate, viz.: From Montague a short time ago he telegraphed the agent of the Canada Fire and Marine [Insurance Company that the store of Mr. Johnston, of Annandale, was burned to the ground. As the store of Mr. Johnstone was insured in the above company, the inspector was telegraphed to the effect, and he immediately left Mon- treal to settle the insurance with Mr. John- stone. When he arrived in this city he dis- covered that the affair was ahoax. The young joker has been discovered, the mat- ter has been left in the hands of an attorney and this joke will cost him one hundred dollars at least.

In accordance with the provisions of the new License Law, the saloons, taverns, etc. , of this city, were last night closed at nine o'clock. This provision remains in force un- til the first of May next. From our own knowledge, the new system has, since its inauguration, worked like a charm. The fact that not one saloon or tavern-keeper has been fined for a breach of its provisions, speaks well for its promoters; and al- though we every day chronicle an over rate of drunkeness for this small city, yet since the act has been enforced, there has been an apparent falling off in that vice. This may j attributed to the stand taken by temperance men at the time of its in- troduction ; but be this as it may, there is one thing certain that the stringent pro- visions of the act has served to decrease both the number of taverns and drunkness.

Ovr correspondent at Pinette informs us of a narrow escape which a young man of this City experienced on the Pinette River on the 30th ult.:—John Shea was proceeding alone down the river in an open sail boat. While on his way the river was visited by a violent gale, and when pass- ing Murcheison’s Cove a heavy squall struck the boat. She capsized, filled with water, righted again and began to sink. Death was staring him in the face, and the only visible m2ans of saving his life was by re- moving the ballast from the boat. The boat sank gradually, and Shea, with extra- ordinary presence of mind, was removing the ballast. He continued to do so by diving till he was up to his neck in water. When at this depth the last of the ballast was re- moved and the boat rose to the surface. Immediately as the sails came above the water the wind struck them and dashed the boat on her side. He righted her several times, but the wind again struck the sails and she repeatedly went over. At length he succeeded in getting the mast out of its place. The boat then righted; and he, after remaining in her for a short time,

was taken off (much exhausted) by three | brothers named Delorey.

You Can't Do it this Time, Mr. Dodd !

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Sir,—It is a matter of regret that a man like Mr. Thomas Dodd should lend himself to Messrs, Davies and Stewart to prop up their detestable Government. After their own friends have left them, and after they have compassed sea and land to make proselytes, of- fering them offices and honor; and failing, they then turn and offer the (I was going to say) sop to Mr. Dodd, that they may have a little longer lease of power and tyranny. But I can

romise Mr, Dodd that on the day of election

e will find himself just where the candidates whom he supported found themselves on the 17th Sept. last. What can Mr. Dodd expect? Can he think that his popularity is going to re- turn him to the Councii? Does he not know that his actions are diametrically opposed to the welfare of the tradespeople and laboring el ss of Charlottetown? Can he not see that, supporting that thing called a ‘‘Rump Gov- ernment,” he is shouldering their unpopularity and wrong doing? Is he not supporting a Government that has impoverished the very class of townspeople that deals very largely with him? It may seem all right, in Mr. Dodd’s eyes, to lend his aid to crush out the tcadespeople of his own native country—I will not say for the sake of furnishing No, 2 Glass to the Asylum or for anything else that h might sell te the contractors, either for the new Schoolhouse or for the Asylum. But when he or his partner goes security for Outsiders, does he not help to destroy the chances of our own mechanics? Most as- suredly he does. And, Sir, while no person would charge Mr. Dodd with wrong doing in his private business, he certainly must ac- knowledge that his political actions of late can scarcely be called right-doing.

If it is a matter of very great importance to Mr. Dodd and the rest of the Rump Govern ment that the Asylum should be finished and the profits and pickings should be secured be- fore giving up the Government. Perhaps it would be a very great saving to the taxpayers if they (the Government) would make out a certified memorandum of what their share would be, and the country pay it on condi- tions that the Government would ‘‘get up and get.”

I am glad, Sir, and so is every tradesman of Charlottetown, that we have an able ad- vocate in your very much esteemed paper; and I hope you will be always found battling for the right.

Yours respectfully, ONE OF THE VICTIMS.

Ch’town, October 31, 1878.

Sanitary.

Tue following letter is published by re- quest :-

—_—--—- —— —

Crry Court, Ist Nov., 1878. To His Worship the Mayor :

Srr,—In answer to the resolution of the Buard of Health, this day transmitted to me, relative to the frequent removal of night soil in the daytime through the streets of the city, I beg to inform you that when- ever a breach of the City Bye-Law in this particular is reported to me, the offender is invariably punished.

If your informant would kindly mention one of the many “‘hourly” and ‘‘daily” of- fences he speaks of, the Magistrate would then be in a position to punish the culprit. General statements in matters of this kind are worthless; while information given to the police of the specitic offence complained of is of real assistance in preventing its occurrence.

For the information of your Board, I may state that in no matter am I more par- ticular, both in instruction to the police, and in the punishment of offenders.

In closing, I may say that had the resolu- tion of your Board been directed to their in- former, requesting him to furnish at least one instance of the offence he complains of, it would have had a more practical effect than addressing it tome, who need no re- minder of my duty, at least in sanitary matters.

Yours most respectfully, R. R. FrrzGeratp, Stipendiary Magistrate.
