We clip the following from the Patriot of Ti ursday :- “To the Bdilor of the I’resdyterian. “Srr, —I observe in the last issue of your aper, under the headiug of ‘Facts for the

‘lectors of Belfast,’ the following: ‘That the late Provincial Auditor, Mr.

Frederick WV. Hyndm.n, prepared a statement showing that the actual deficit fur 1378 was $73,364.’

“I must inform you that your statement 1s incorrect. T never prepared any such docu- ment, anil may add that it was impossible that I could do, as no such deficit existed.

‘Yours, ‘ “FF, W. HyspmMay,.

On reading the above, we referred to eur past copy fyles, and easily found the fol- lowing, which is in Mr. Hyndman’s ewn handwriting, and the original copy of which can be scen at the office of the Examiner by the curious :—

A cutro belonging to Captain Maxwell, R. N., met with a serious accident this fore- acon. We learn that the nurse, thoughtlessly, left the little one sitting on a high chair near eu window in thesecond story of the dwelling, and while she was absent from the apartment it crawled over the window sill and fell to the p'atform in front of the house. It was insensible for several hours after the fall, but is now recovering. :

ONORS 'f0 SIR JOHN MAC- . ‘DONALD!

A Magiuificent Banquet in Quebec!

(From the Moncton Times.)

The dinner tendered to Sir John A MacDonald by the Conservatives of Quebee on the occasion of his return from Englan af-er being sworn in as a member of Her

Music Hall, in Quebec City, last evening. Sir Jehn, accompanied by Fon. Hector Langevin and Mr. Plumb, arrived at Que- bec on Tuesday evening, and have since been the guests of Mr. Caron, M. P. Sir Charles Tupper proceeded from Halifax to Quebec on Tuesday to take part in the demonstration. A Quebec despatch says :—

‘The decorations were evidently the work of skilled hands, so artistic and beau- tiful was the cffect. The tables wero ar- ranged with a view to make the most of the space, without sacrificing appearance. Sus- pended in the centre of the stage were the arms of Sir John Macdonald, between a French and Irish flag, surrounded by the Union Jack and Dominion Ensign. Over this was the motto, ‘‘Welcome to the Chieftain,” in English and French. The other mottoes were, on one gallery, ‘‘Suc- cess to the National policy,’ and en the other, ‘‘Nos institutions notre longue et nos lois ;’ while over the band who eccupied that portion of the gallery facing the stage, were the words, ‘‘God Save the Queen.”

‘* At half-past nine the ladies arrived and were received by the gentlemen with enthusiastic cheers, and whose presence, en- hanced by their rich and varied costumes, completed the beauty of a scene unsurpass- in the annals of Quebec.

‘‘The chairman, Hon. P. Garveau, then proposed the toast ‘‘Our Guest,” the Right Hon. Sir John A. Macdonald, K. C. B. He said he was sure they were all happy to welcome their Right. Hon. friend on the occasion of his being sworn inas Her Majesty’s Privy Councillor of Great Britain; an honor she had never before conferred on a Canadian, but honor well earned and well merited by him. Judging from the number then present he supposed the next time they gave a dinner to Sir John A. MacDonald, they would have to give it at Dufferin Terrace. He then proposed the toast, which was received with the most enthusiastic cheers.

“Sir John A. Macdonald, who was re- ceived with great enthusiasm, expressed the great emotion he felt at receiving such a demonsiration in this old city, in which a quarter of a century ag» he had first taken office in Canada. His speech, which oc- cupied an hour and a quarter in delivery; owing to the late hour, could not be given this evening.

‘The foilowing toasts were then pro- by the Chairman —

‘*Her Majesty’s Ministers.”

‘Our Sister Provinces,” with which was

coupled the name of Sir Charles Tupper.

‘‘{n reply to the toast, ‘The Legislature of Quebec,’ Hon. J. A. Chapleau, Leader of the Opposition in the Local Legislature, rose and was received with tremendous cheers. The next toast was ‘Our Indus- tries.’ Mr. Dobell returned thanks on be- half of those engaged in the various indus- trial interests of the country.

‘‘After this the following toasts were pro- posed and suitably responded to :—‘Our Conservative Clubs,’ by Mr. Mantel, presi- dent of the ‘Club Cartier’ of Montreal; ‘The Ladies,’ and ‘The Press.’ ”’

Jon BEvAN was summoned before the Sti- pendiary Magistrate this forenoon on two sep- erate charges of selling liquor without license, and was fined $20 and costs for each offence. A VERY GooD MARKET to-day. Sales very brisk, with prices same as Tuesday last.

Tus Duchess of Edinburgh was prematurely delivered of a still-borm child on Monday, but is now progressing favorably.
