A kind of old Hobgoblin Hall, j Now somewhat fallen to decay,

And chimneys huge, and tiled and tall.” Longfellow.

In 1764, Township Number Fifty-nine, |

in Prinee Edward Island, was granted by;

their establishing fisheries and making im- | provements on their grant. Of the three | srantees, the latter was a Captain in the} Kuglish army, shortly before to a daughter of Job Prince, !

Boston, Massachusetts. |

Some time after this grant was made, Captain Higgens obtained from his father- in-law goods and fishing supplies ta the amount of £6,000, including among them the frame and other materials necessary for the building of a house. ‘Ihe trame was dressed and fitted together in Boston, and then shipped, along with the other supplies, in a schooner chartered for that purpose ;_ and ona fine day in May, 1766, Captain

-Higgens and his wife, and a young man

named William Creed, who had been a clerk with Mr. Prince, set sail for Three Rivers, Prince Edward Island,

The voyage was uneventful, and the ves- sel and cargo arrived safely at her destina- tion, St Andrew’s Town, as the point was then called. This place had been an im- portant fishing station when the Island belonged to France ; but ali the buildings and other improvements had disappeared at the time our story opens, and noth ng remained to mark its former habitaticn excepting the graves of those who had here laid down **iile’s burdens.”

The work of disembarkation was speedily accomplished, and in @ short time the walls of the house at St. Andrew's Point formed a comfortable and commo- dious shelter for Captain Higgens and his family. The house was substantially built, as shown by the fact that after one bun- dred and twenty years, its brick-filled walls were as solid as they were when first erect- ed. The roof was covered with feather- edged pine boards, so closely jointed that without other covering, for long years it resisted the rain of summer and the snow of winter; and even when the house was dismantied in 1889, these boards had to be turn off by considerable effort, the old fashioned wrought nails then used, holding «s firmly as when first driven.

Captain Higgens, having built his house, other buildings, and store with the goods he brought with him from Bosten; and to St. Andrew’s Point came the set- tlers from all the eastern coast to sell their fish and furs. In an old account bovk of that time, that the writer has seen, can still be found the records of the business transactions of those early days, and the. names of:Chas. Gallong, Lazar Deblance, Jos. | Peters, Ephraim Chaisson, Nicholas Del-| orme, Paul Deagle, Paul Doucette, record-| ed in it, show that the French Acadians from Rolle Bay and other places traded at St. Andrew’s Point. From entries in this book the prices of staple articles, like molasses, tea and sugar, can be ascertained as follows: molasses two shillings per gal- lon, equal to 48 cents; tea, four shillings per pound, equal to 96 cents, and sugar, nine pence per pound, equal to 18 cents. For a number of years, until 1776, Captain Higgins carried on his fishing basiness with varying success. Schooners were employed by him in taking the fish to markt and iu bringing back the commodities required for trading with the fishermen; but after the outbreak of the American revolution, a serious interruption was given to the busi- About the end of August, 1776, Captain ‘Higgens went to Boston, leaving his wife and three sons at St. Andrew’s Point. With them also remained William Creed (the young man formerly referred to) who was left as manager of the business. The fishing had been very unsuccessful for a year or 80 previous to this time, and Captain Higgens was in peed cf another advance of money or goods; but when he applied to Mr. Piiuce for assistance, he was met witha stern refusal, and was compelled to give 4 transfer of his share of Township Number Fifty-nine as security for what he had al- ready received,

The war between the English and the Americans had by this time become serious, and Captain Higgens, fin ng he could get no further assistance from his father-in-law, determined to return to England to seek employment inthe army. In the mean- time his store at St. Andrew’s Point had been visited by an American Privateer and much valuable property had been carried off; and his wife, having sent her children to their uncle’s at Covehead, returned to Boston to her father’s house.

William Creed also returned to Boston about ‘he same time; for shortly afterwards we find that he had started a business, in connection with Mr. Prince, at Salem, Massachusetts. This business was for a time very successful. to these days, as in later times, the American coasts were blockaded by men-of-war, and those who succeeded in running the blockade made money rapidly. The business carried on by William Creed at Salem consisted princi- pally of the sale of West India goods—rum, sugar and mylaesses ; ome years

ia the tide came. One of his ships, Jaden vith a valuable cargo, was captured by the British and taken to Halifax, and other untoward circumstances rapidly diminished his capital. In 1784, at the end of the war, William Creed determined to collect the means still left him, and return to Prince Edward Island, where his former experience would be useful in conducting business. Accordingly, in 1784, we find that he had again commenced business, 4 short distance south of St. Andrew's Point, at what is now called Albion Bay. [ContinveD ry Our Next.)

To Contest the Will.

THE HEIRS OF WEALTHY SAMUEL 8, SAWYER DISSATISFIED.

We learn from the Boston Globe that Sarah E. Powers, Charles A. Sawyer, Samuel J. Sawyer, Frederick H. Sawyer and Agnes H. Coffin, heirs of the late Samuel S. Sawyer, of Gloucester, whose

the English Government to Messrs. Mill, will was probated at Salem, Mass, on the Cathcart and Higgens, :n consideration of 90:h January, ult., have filed an appeal

from the decree of the Probate Court, which wil be heard in the Supreme Judi- cal Court.

Samuel 8S. Sawyer wasa millionaire and bequeathed over $350,000 to public and

Esq., a wealthy West India merchant of} charitable institutions, Gloucester receiving

some $240,000, Rockport a generous dona- tion, while religious and _ charitable organizations Of Boston received about $120,000. His private bequests were also princely, but it is alleged that his will makes but scanty provision for certain heirs while others are entirely ignored. Spicy and startling evidence, it is stated, will be introduced at the hearing.

Mr. Sawyer was as we!l known in Boston as he was im his native city of Gloucester, having been engaged in business under the tirm name of Sawyer, Houghton & Co. The firm was burned out at the big fire in Sawyer retiring from active business at that time, very wealthy. He also made a big fortune during the war on the sale of army blankets. His permanent home was at the old family homestead at Fresh Water Cove, Gloucester, where he died some three months ago. He also had a suite of rooms in the Tremont House, Boston.

In regard to the petitioners, Sarah E. Powers is a half sister or the late Samuel

'E. Sawyer, and is not named in the will,

Charles A. Sawyer is a nephew, and receives under the will the income of $12,000, to be used exclusively for the maintenance of the Brookbank estate, and the said nephew also receives the income of $8,000 for his use. Samuel J. Sawyer, Frederick H. Sawyer and Agnes M. Coffin are nephews and niece, who receive the income of nine thousand dollars in equal proportions. Mr. Frederick H. Sawyer is well and favorably known in Charlottetown. For many years past he has been the purser of the steamer Worcester, plying between this port and Boston. Agnes M. Coffin is, it is said, a relative by 1aarriage of the Coffins of Mount Stewart, The case is all the more prominent from the fact that Gen. Butler has been secured as counsel for the aggrieved heirs, which is a& guarantee that everything will be done that can be,’to break the will and satisfy the claims of the petitioners.” ;

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

———--<> —

Ledger Influence at the West.

Sir,—There appears a communication in| the Farmer of this date, over the signature | of “Grit,” in which he is pleased to char- acterizes in toto my letter to THe EXAMINER of the 6th inst. as ‘ta base fabrication.”

Now, I had no desire to misrepresent “Grit” or his friends—nor did I do so—} when I penned the letter in question; but, in justice to the electors of this district, [ deemed it advisable that an intelligent pub- lic should be made acquainted with the tyranny of the Liberal Party managers here, sothat they would be enabled to understand why the result on election day turned out coutrary to our expectations—something I believe [ succeeded in doing, despite the loud contradictions of “Grit.”

I reiterate my former statement re ledger influence being su disreputably used, and ||

defy ‘Grit’ to disprove one word in my | tormer letter, as he claims he can; and fur- |

ther, short a time as has elapsed since the

election, | know of instances at this end in.

which electors who had the manliness to record their votes, according to their con- | scientious convictions, for the Conser-— vative candidates, contrary to the expressed | wish of men who, because they were their cr: ditors to the extent of a few paltry dollars and who possibly held alien ontheirgoodsand chattels, would arrogate to themselves a claim on their conscience as well, have re- ceived notice from those parties to settle their respective accounts forthwith. While on the other hand, Iam credibly informed that men who stifled conscientious scruples and voted the Grit ticket, have been enabled to arrive at settlements which, to say the least, are very satisfactory to them. With regard to physical force being em- ployed in the western end, out of respect to some of the parties concerned, who may, in the excitement, have done things which they now regret, and for other reasons which can beappreciated bynubody better than by “Grit,” I wilicontent myself with simply stating that the charges in may last letter are substantially correct. However, if “Grit” desires that IL should particularize and furnish proof that cannot be gainsaid, 1 sha!l be only too happy to accommodate him. Now, Mr. Editor, (unlike ‘* Grit’s) these are not empty assertions, for the proofs are hand, if there be any attempt at contradiction, and J) now leave the :ublic to judge, and have no fear of the verdict. Jn his concluding paragraph, ** Grit” re- joices at what he is pleased to term ‘‘a
