Whereas The present Executive have advised the Lieutenant Governor to introduce into his Speecd opening the present Parliament the ad- visability of building & Bailway through this Is- land: and whereas The building of such road would entail a beavy tax upon the inbaditante of the Island, without any corresponding benefi : and whereas ‘The building of a Reilway through thie Island wae neither discussed nor decided |g upon at the late General Klection: and whereas No government would be just.fed in attempting to furee such a measure through the Legislature without first teating the question at the polls, and allowing the people to decide on ils tnerits: Therefore Resolved, That it is the opinion of this meeting that any action by the present gov- ernment, cowvaitting the island to tne building of such a road, would be premature, and contrary to |

Christian Brothers school o% Weduesday evening last, was very aatisfactory to parents aod trieads who were present. The musie of the Band considering the youthful ages of the performers was very creditable, as were also the Dramas entitled the ‘ Babbler,” the «Harvest Storm " and the ‘ Three Sharpers.” The Recitations “Casabianca,”” and **Little Jim,” were well rendered.

Bourts.—An esteemed Correspondent Souris, writes us as followst—

We have started a * Reading Room,” and I firmly believe that it 1s a step in the right direc- tior, Such an institution has been much needed bere; and new that we are getting it nicely tuto running order, it will be a source of both in- struction and amusement to the Souris folks, and a large portion of thuse living in the vicinity.

There is also a large subscription list being circul:ted here tor the purpose of having the telegraph wires extended from Georgetown, There bas been quite a respectable sum sub- scribed already, with the prospect of a still lar- ger amount being added within a short time,

When we have the Railroad completed from Charlottetown to Souris, we can then hold up our beads and consider ourselves in a fair way to compete with our friends te the westward,

We also learn another interesting item, which

will be found in anvther column, We wieh our young friends all the bappiness and prosperity this world can afford.

Durie the debate on the Railroad para- graph in the Address in answer to the Gov- ernor s Speech an honorable member gave a shot, founded upon the following story, which 1s said to be true. A gentleman travelling from Shediac toSt. John, hap- pened to be some place near by where the passenger t:ain was passing along the Shediac line. He wanted to get on the train, and shouted out his desire to do so.

‘It did not wait; so, being one of those who have no need to offer up the Scotchman’s prayer, *°O! Laird, gie usa guid conceit o° oursels,"’ he shouted out, ‘* Stop the train! | Stop the train! I ma Memberof the Prince | Edward Island House of Asssmbly.” The train did not stop; and the honorable mem- ber has been disgusted with the very men- tion of Railroads ever since.
