St. Patrick's Day.

Tue celebration of St. Patrick’s Day in this city closed with a dramatic entertain- ment in the Lyceum. The popular three- act drama, ‘‘Jessie Vere, or the Waaderer’s Return ” and the laughable farce, *‘ Tarn Him Out,” were capitally played by the Lyceurs Comedy Co. ; indeed, the manner in which some of the characters .were sus- tained would have reflected credit on pro- fessionals: “There was a large audience present, who, Sjudging fromthe loud ap- plause ‘and laughter with which the per- formers were greeted, thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the mem- bers of the Benevolent Irish Society of Souris, to the number of about sixty, head- ed by the Souris Brass Band, marched in procession to St. Mary’s Church, where a solemn high mass was celebrated, and an appropriate sermon preached by the Rev. D. J. Gillis, of St. Columba, East Point. After mass they re-formed and merched through the principal streets of the village. With their new regalias, and their hand- some banner painted by one of ther mem- bers, Mr. James Brenan, who is @ msing artist of no mean ability, they presented a very fine appearance indeed. On the pre- vious evening an excellent entertainment was given inthe Court House, particulars of which appear elsewhere.

The entertainment in Emerald Hal! ong

Patrick’s eve is described as a grand success in every respect. The hall was packed with people. Rev. P. Doyle oc- cupied the chair. The programme consisted of vocal and instrumental music, songs and dances, comic sketches, and an address from Mr. W. C. DesBrisay. The proceeds were in the neighborhood of $100.

St.

Rev. P. Doyle celebrated High Mass in St. Paul’s Church, Summerside, on Satur-

day morning. There was a large congrega- tion? “

An Important Mevement.

A mEETING was held on Saturday even- ing, in the office of Davies & Sutherland, called with the object of discussing a pro- ject for the securing and fitting up toa suit- able site for exhibition, trotting and other purposes connected with the improvement of out horses and stock generally. It has ‘been proposed to purchase or lease a site near the city, enclose it with a high fence, erect thereon a large, substantial industrial building for exhibition purposes, with a rand stand ; near this there would be laid a half-mile track, on which the horses could be exhibited to great advantage. This track, during the year, will be utilized for the training of horses.

False Witness.

A great sensation was created in Yar- mouth, N. §., last week by a confession of perjury made by a witness in several Seott Act prosecutions, The man, whose name is Lambert, was suspected of per jury, and was examined before a Justice of the Peace. During the afternoon the proceedings were suddenly brought to a close by the accused himself announcing that he wished to make a statement. Every- body was taken by surprise, and Mr. Pelton, counsel for the defence, said he did not know anything about the statement to be made, and the accused was acting on his own responsibility. Lambert then stated that he had been led on by Joseph Burrill, the local Scott Act prosecutor, offering him money, paying him money, and promising him money. He had promised him money to convict one party after another, and paid him for one con- viction, but had not paid him for another which failed, and the aceused had not gone into the third. Burrill went to Lambert’s house and offered him ten dollars to con- vict McCallum, a druggist. Lambert said he had only obtained alcohol, and Burrill told him to convict McCallum and he would pay him. Lambert carried out his bargain, swore he bought rum from. Mc- Callum and got his money. Without further evidence Lambert was committed for trial in the Supreme Court. Burrill is a butcher, living in Cheggogin, and has been a Scott Act prosecutor for about three years. The night previous to the startl- ing confession the local temperance societies passed revolutions commending him for his zeal.
