The Alley-Duchemin Case.

YESTERDAY we presented the manufac- turers’ view of the Alley-Duchemin case. To-day we present —! y the fc llowing letter— in an equally forcible light—the view taken by Mr. Alley and those whe sympathise with him :—

To the Editor of the Examiner :

Srr,—I notice in your issue of to-day, your editorial in the Alley-Ducheman case ; and it is very much to be regretted that you should allow yourself and your paper to be the medium of circulating a report of the case still pending in the Chancery Court, so extremely partial and so grossly inaccurate. I should have thought that your sensé of duty, as a public journalist, if not of fair play as a citizen, and respect for our highest Courts of Justice, would have caused you to pause before becom ing the partial advocate, and publicly misre- presenting the facts of the case now pending. Had you confined your publications to the, ye esc submitted tothe Jury, and the ver- dict or answers given to these questions, you would just have fulfilled your duty.

To convince you how absurdly prejudicial to the plaintiff your article is, let me trans- pose its sentences, A: looxed at from the other site, it would read thus :—‘‘It is considered by the owners of dwelling houses that if Alley is driven out of his property, under the cir- cumstances set forth by Messrs. Duchemin, all or any of them are liable to be treated in the same way, by any steam factory owners, who may choose to take the same proceed ings. Nor does their fear seem to be ill- grounded. Forif a steam factory owner may build a steam factory close up to the line on which a dwelling house has been a long time in existence, and by noise and tremor and snoke,render the dwelling house uninhabitable, and compel the owner of the dwelling house to abandon the same, no householder is secure in his possession. Every one of them is at the mercy of any fastidious or captious neighbor rich enough to stand a lawsuit, because every factory in which machinery is used, and smoke and noise issue is, of necessity, disagreeable— a nuisance—to those wholive adjoining it. Mr. Alley having, for the past 30 years, or nearly 80, enjoyed his dwelling house in peace and quietness, is now naturally disinclined to move away, and seek another dwelling place; and it is reported that he has full confidence in the ability and integrity of the Superior Courts of this Island to administer strict jus- tice in the case; andif any appeal therefrom be deemed prudent, he will, no doubt be found equal to the occasion.”

I was struck, Mr. Editor, with the very poor report you gave of the plaintiff's evidence, while you bestowed considerable attention to that of the defendants. I now perceive the reason. Hoping that your attention, or the attention of the Court, will not have to be called to this matter again, and that you will give this letter a place in your paper.

[ am, yours obediently, Fiat Josricta.

Charlottetown, Feb. 11, 1879.

To the charge that, in our report of the evidence in this case, we discriminated un“ fairly and invidiously between the plaintiff and the defendants, we give a flat denial. So impartially did we try to lay the facts before a very much interested public, that we are at a loss to account our cerrespond- ent’s mistake as other than the delusion of a biased and over-sensitive mind.

Regarding the propriety of commenting upon the case, we have only to say that we studiously refrained from doing so until after it had passed from the cognizance of a jury or of any one else who, in deciding it, would be likely, in the slightest degree, to be influenced by public opinion.

Our correspondent thinks we should have confined our remarks to the questions sub- mitted tothe jury. We hold a different opinion. The questions simply relate to Alley and Duchemin. Our business with the case is solely as it effects, or is likely to effect, the industries and the inhabitants of the City at large.

But we bend, for the nonce, to the judg- ment of our correspondent. And we re- mark that the jury say the working of the machinery used by the defendants in 1853 made as much noise as now proceeds from the machinery used in the present factory. We remark, also, that the jury say the noise and vibration felt or experienced in the house in which the plaintiff lived in in 1853 was not as great as the noise or vi* bration felt in the present house. We re- mark further that the jury say the smoke from the factory from 1872 to 1878 was a

greater nuisance to the plaintiff than the smoke issuing from the present factory. Therefore, the plaintiff's comfortable enjoy- ment of his present house must have been diminished only because he chose to build it closer to the site of the factory.

It is, we think, to be regretted that Mr. | Alley did not, before building his house, in ithe spirit of Abraham of old, go to Mr. Duchemin and ‘*Let there be no quarrel between us; we have plenty of land ; if you build your new factory on the. old site I will not build so close to the line} as I new intend to do—but perhaps you | will go a hittle to the right if I go a little to the left.” Had this been done it is not likely that there would have been any dis- agreement between the parties to the suit or any excitement among the manufacturers.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.

Bay :

We received further particulars to-day of the spread of small-pox in Alberton. A gentleman who arrived from that place yes- terday informs us that on Friday last a child of Mr. Allan McDonald died from a cause which was at the time of the death unknown to the child’s parents and also to the physician. On Friday night, between thirty and forty persons assembled at Mr. McDonald’s house to attend the child’s wake. Late in the night they were horror- stricken to discover that the deceased came to its death by small-pox. On the same night Mr. McDonald contracted the disease, and died on Monday morning. The deaths of Mr. McAlduff and Mr. Neil McLennan, who had also attended the wake, were re- ported yesterday. Young McLennan fell sick at his father’s house and was removed to Mr. McDonald’s, where ten patients are now lying sick of the contagious disease. Our informant states that McDonald’s house is very small, and that the patients are hud- dled together in an apariment of fifteen by twenty feet capacity. Mr. Michael Foley, accompanied by Mr. James White, is in the city seeking assistance for the patients from the Local Government. The Herald says: “Tf this be the condition of things in Al- berton, it is high time that our Local Gov- ernment was taking steps to provide for the safety of the people. With daily trains running to Alberton, and bearing passen- gers and freight hence, it is easy to carry the infection throughout the Island. This is a most serious consideration, and one which the authorities ought not to disre-

gard.”’

Our Export Trade.

Mr. Coomess, in to-day’s ExaMINER, offers some suggestions upon this subject which will, doubtless, receive attention from prac- tical traders. It seems to us that something might now be done in the way of exporting a cargo of fat cattle to the Mother Country. The cattle of the United States are not now admitted into England on account of the disease which is ravaging the herds of that country; and the export of cattle from Can- ada may therefore be greatly increased, to the profit of farmers, dealers and all con- cerned. Itis true that by reason of the length and severity of our winter, we may never be able to go largely into this trade; but we see no good reason why we should not participate in it to a certain extent. It strikes us there can be no more favorable time to begin than the present. The Prince Edward might, perhaps, be fitted to take a cargo of cattle from the Island at least once ayear. If the trade were onee opened, it would speedily result in a marked improve- ment of the herds of cattle on the Island.

The “Northern Light.”

We learn that the ‘‘ Northern Light ”— unable to get to Pugwash—has returned to Georgetown. Itis said that she encoun- tered ice thirty feet in thickness.

Tuz Duchess of Edinburgh, while she has been very frigid in manner on all cere- monious occasions in England, was very agreeable when among her own friends, serving them with her own hands as un- ostentatiously as though she were an Eng- lish Princess. Her great stateliness has hitherto made her unpopular, but now, it appears, she has altered her ways, is enter- ing into the local interests about her Eng- lish home, and is said to like it and to be liked very much better than before.

T'o the Editor of the Examiner:

DEAR Sir,—I have been living close to a factory for the last six years. During that time they have been running circular saw .: plavers and jigsaws. Strange to relate, unti the Alley and Duchemin trial commenced I never heard a sound of the machinery in my house, although during that time | had a great deal of sickness in my family, Since the trial commenced I am tormented with a continual noise during the day. I do not think the ngise is really any louder than it used to be; but it has beeame a nuisance to me, and un- less some means are taken to prevent me and my family from hearing it, I will take aac agred ings against the manufacturer. I — my neighbor into my house to witness the noise, and he pronounced my house unfit to live in, I have seen him since, and he tells me that or going home and listening the noise was equally loud in his own house, although he never no-

ticed it before. Yours, etc., — CITIZEN.

The Presbyterian Church and the Press.

At the last General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of the United States, the following resolution was passed : ‘‘That the General Assembly recognize with great satisfaction the enterprise of the secular press in obtaining and publishing religious and ecclesiastical news, and also the ability with which it discusses and advocates measures in promotion of education, sound morals and good forder. At the,same time the Assembly beg leave to call the attention of those who ,control the secular press to the propriety and duty of giving less prom- inence to the details of crime, especially of all forms of licentiousness, as their publica- tion tends to wound delicacy of feeling, te corrupt the public mind, and to make that familiar and less repulsive which should al- ways be viewed with abhorrence.”

+ <-> -- —

At a meeting of the Catholic Academia, held at Cardinal Manning’s house, his Emi- nence read a paper upon the relations of the Church to modern society. He took occasion to remark upon the abstention in past years of Catholics, as such, from all in- terference in civil and political life, not merely in England, but also in Continental countries, and especially in Italy. He pointed out that this conduct left the field entirely in the hands of the opponents of the Church, and urged that the use of the franchise by Catholics would not be so much an acceptance of the triumph of revo- lutionary principles, as a fighting of what he called the revolution with its own weapons.

A Mystery of the Great Lakes.

There is a mystery about the American lakes. Lake Erie is only 60 to 70 feet deep. But Lake Ontario is 592 feet deep, 230 feet below the level of the ocean, or as low as most parts of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the bottom of Lakes Huron, Michigan and Superior, although the surface is much higher, are all from their vast depths on a level with the bottom of Ontario. Now, as the discharge through the river Detroit, after allowing for the probable portion car- ried off by evaporation, does not appear by any means equal to the quantity of water which the three upper lakes receive, it has been conjectured that a subterranean river may run from Lake Superier by Huron to Lake Ontario. This conjecture is not im- possible, and accounts for the singular fact that salmon and herring are caught in all the lakes communicating with the St. Law- rence, but no others. As the Fall of Ni- agara must have always existed, it would puzzle the naturalist to say how these fish got into the upper lakes without some sub- terranean river; moreover, any periodical obstruction of the river would furnish a not improbable solution of the mysterious flux and reflux of the lakes.— The American Ship.

The English Language Good Enough.

The English Janguage may seem to inhab- itants of the British Isles to be good enough for anybody, but on this side the ocean we have some thousands of persons with pre- tensions to education and culture who make incessant complaint of the vernacular. Ac- cording to these authorities, the language lacks elegance and expressiveness, so at the slightest excuse they drop into some other tongue, that of France being, for some in- explicable reason, preferred. But new comes a learned German, who, having for fifteen years studied the language with that systematic persistency whieh is a pe- culiarity of the Teutonic mind and the terror of all others, pronounces the Eng- lish to be the most expressive, logical and generally satisfactory tongue of mod- ern Europe. Unfortunately for the fancies of the literary diletantti, Dr. Weisse, the authority alluded to, has written a book upon the language in which he details his reasons so distinctly, and with such an/' array of linguistic facts as corroborative | evidence that no denial is possible, and there is nothing left to do but to make faces at this ruthless disturber of softspeech. It is to be hoped that the able linguist’s| opinion may be spread so widely that young men of education and leisure will begin to study the literature of their own language’ instead of continuing their affectation of | giving themselves to. speech which is for- | eign to their tongue, their associations and their nature.—N.

Dear Str—It is now two years since your ‘Constitutional Catarrh Remedy” was intro- ‘ duced tome. I have waited this long to see if the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy effects seemed to me to be ‘‘too good to be truce.”

1 was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular I saw my case described in many par- ticulars. The inward “drop” from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, I would feel like smothering and be compelled to sit upin the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third, I quit taking it, feeling quite cured of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some for a cold in my head.

A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper. Yours truly,

W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister.
