Local and Other Items,

W. Breeze, a prominent merchant of St, John, N. B., attempted suicide on Thurs- day last, by jumping off Reed’s Point Wharf.

Hon. Mr. Bowrit was tendered a dem- onstration on his arrival at Belleville. The torchlight procession was the largest ever seen in that city.

Tus Marquis of Lorne has directed Col. Littleton to inform the Mayor of Quebec that he will be unable to visit that city on his way to Ottawa.

A LARGE quantity of potatoes arrived in the city to-day. he Early Rose are sell- ing for 45 cents per bushel, Blues for 36 cents, and Whites for 40 cents.

Ir is said that Sir John McDonald does not agree with Mr. Todd in the opinion that he does not require re-election, and that he will be again returned for Victoria, B. C.

Iris rumored at Ottawa that Deputy Buckingham, appointed Minister of the In- terior by the late Government, will be re- moved, to be succeeded by Col. Chamber- lain.

THERE was no business transacted at the Stivendiary Magistrate's Court this fore- noon. Three prisoners, who were arrested for being drunk, were admitted on bail till Monday.

The shipments of potatoes by various shippers from this port to the United States to-day, will exceed eight thousand bushels. On the 24th Mr. John Hughes shipped a cargo of over five thousand bushels for Bal- timore.

A Fkw nights ago some unknown persons entered the cabin of the schooner Farewell, at Peake’s Wharf, and stole therefrom the Captain’s trunk, containing a lot of cloth- ing and all the vessel’s papers. No trace of the thieves has yet been discevered.

CoRRECTLY CHARACTERIZED.—The New York ‘* Sun” correctly characterizes the clamor of the Reform Party for the imme- diate production of the National Policy in all its details, when it saya that they ‘ ex- hibit an almost childish impatience, as if it were a thing as easy of accomplishment as eating their dinner.”

Sr. James’ Cirurcu.—The pews will be free to all to-morrow (27th), both morning and evening, at the usual hours of service. The selection of pews and sittings will take place on Wednesday evening next, in the Church, at 7.30 o'clock, as will be seen in our advertising columns.

Tus New York Times’ Philadelphia spe- cial says Admiral Jones, of the British Le- gation, recently visited a Bussian man-of- war at Philadelphia on a forged permit, and was ejected, amid the jeers of the Rus- sian officers. He had previously asked per- mission to inspect the Vimbria and been re-

Mr. Anatrn, in the St. John Freeman, speaking of the Hon. Mr. Langevin, refers to him as having been ‘‘ unquestionably one of the ablest men in Sir John’s former Government.” This is the opinion of a man who had excellent opportunities of judging, and who certainly had no party motive for forming the favorable opinion he expresses of the Postmaster-General.

A comPLarnT has been laid at this office that a letter from the United States, re- ceived at*the Post Office on the 28th of August, was not delivered to the person to whom it was directed until the 25th of October. The aggrieved person should re- present the matter to the Post Office In- spector. Blunders of this kind should not be allowed to pass unheeded.

Ir gives us great pleasure to note the prosperity of successful Islanders abroad. Judging by reports in the American papers, Mr. Davis—son of ‘‘ Mine Host” ot the ** Osborne House”—is one of these. In an extended notice of the firm of which Mr. Davis is a member—which appears in the Providence (R. I.) Journal—their enter- prise is very highly commended, and their success is considered worthy of remark.

A very sad drowning accident occurred off Cape Bear, King’s County, yesterday. A coal loaded sloop containing two men and two wemen was coming from Pictou to Gooner. When of Cape Bear, she was struck by a squall and capasized. The men were saved; but the women—one of them named Glover-—were drowned. Miss Glover is a daughter of Mr. William Glover, of Georgetown.

Tue Montreal (Gazette says: ‘‘Mr. Pope, of Prince Edward Island, is undoubtedly the leading man of his Province. He has deen from time to time connected with the Government of the Province, and has had, therefore, an extensive official and parlii- mentary experience.” The Patriot will, of course, say that the Gazette does not pay a high compliment to the people of this Prov- ince. he people will appreciate the nT estimate of Mr. Pope, neverthe-

_A Runaway, which resulted in the demo- lition of a valuable wagon belonging to a farmer named Stewart, occurred on Rich- mond Street yesterday evening. Mr. Stewart’s horse which was left standing alone on the street, took fright at some un- known object, and ran toward Pownal Street. Both sides of Richmond Street being, at the time, strewn with vehicles, he did not go far until he came in collision with a heavy cart ~hence the above result. Another horse which was carelessly left standing on Kent Street, took fright and ran away. He turned on Queen Street, and, when passing the ‘‘ Farmers’ Arms,’ ran over and severely injured a country- man. The horse was caught at S. W Crabbe’s store,

The Fair Way.

In marked contrast to the nonsence which is daily appearing in Grit papers, which call themselves leadiug journals, is the fol- lowing from the St. John, N. B., Globe: —

** One of the first duties of the new Min- istry will be to endeavor to satisfy the pop- ,ular feeling. We may, therefore, look for an early sitting of Parliament. By this we do not mean that a session will be called immediately. The Ministers will have to come back for re-election. It will then take some time to get into official harness. They will have to bring together from the distant ends of the Dominion the threads out of which they are to weave the cordage with which they are now te rig the Minis- terial ship. This cannot be done in a few days. It is not too much to ask of the Government that they address themselves to this task promptly and earnestly. To change the fiscal policy of the country as they will have to do to at all meet the pop- ular requirements, is not a task to be un- dertaken carelessly or without due prepara- tion.”

That, as every one will admit, is a fair way of putting the position, and the Grit press would earn a larger share of public re- spect if they took a leaf out of the book of their St. John confrere. The Montreal Gazette aptly remarks that the humiliating result of the clap-trap which appeared in those journals for weeks before the election, should teach them its uselessness as an in- fluence with an intelligent and well-in- formed people like those of Canada.
