Wreck of the Algoma, Toronto, Nov. 10.

Further despatches rec: ived here, show that the steamer Algoma ran ashore on the Isle Royal while attempt- ms to make the passage between thet Isle aud Passage Island. The passengers rushed out of the cabin and implored the officers to tell them w'iat had vappened, “We are on a reef,” replied Captain Moore, “but if you will only keep

a calm as pessible, I trust all will be safely landed.” Just then oe of the crew reported the

steamer’s bottom punched, and that she was filling with water. Boats were at once got in readiness aud all started to leave, bot just as they were about to lower them the steamer slipped off the reef and disappeared with an angry roar. The water was quickly covered with strug. gling forma of wen and women, and then all was over. Forty eight lives were lost. Only fourteen lived to tell the tale. The Steamer was valued, for insurance pur- poses, at $510,000. She was insured for $170,000.

We cannot too strongly urge upon our readers the necessity of subscribing for a family, weekly newspaper of the first claes —such, for instance, as The Independent, of New York. Were we obliged to select one publication for habitual and careful reading to the exclusion of all others, we should choose unhesitatingly The Independent. It is a newspaper, megazine and review, all in one. It is a religious, a literary, an educa- tional, a story, an art, a scientific, an agri- cultural, a financial, and a political paper eombined.

LETTEES 10 THE EDITOF, |

A Contradiction.

Siz,— I beg leave to contradict a astate- ment published in your issue of the 10th, in the report of Council, and relating to the petition of assessors, asking for extra pay for their service, as the charge is false and misleading. The assessors did not petition for extra pay, but rather for the amount justly due them as per agreement. But as the Council have thought proper to ignore the official acts of committee the assessors must suffer. TJ trust future officials may benefit.

M. P. Hogan, Chairman of Assessors.

[It appears that the petition was simply the result of a breach of faith on the part of the Council, who now refuse to carry out the bargain made with the Assessors by their Finence Committee. Our report of the matter, as submitted to the Council, was s'rictly correct ;and Mr. Hogan is, no doubt, also correct. |

Cruelty to Animal».

Sir,—1 understend there is a Society in Charlottetown for the Prevention of Crnelty to Animals. Ido not know whe- ther their care of dumb animals is limited to the city ; [hope not, for I desire to call their attention to an act s» wicked end eruel that I think it may finally be claimed as an object of their attention.

I had a pet goat at my home in Souris, which annoyed no one and was a pleasure tome (On Monday evening two men went to the field where it was, and threw it over the steep bank on to the shore, breaking one of its horns. They then cut its throat, not sufficiently to take its life quickly, but so that it might slowly bleed to death ; and then, fearing that its piteous erie: might attract the atiention of some one not so hard-hearted as themselves, they crught and fastened it with stones to the ground, so that it could not move, and left it there to die. They had no seuse of shame in this, for they summoned about ten wit- nesses, who cheered them on at their work.

I do not complain for the injury done to myself, for nothing that I could say would induce these brave kind men (?) to believe that a poor newsboy who has to work herd every day, and often far into the night, has any feelings which they are bound to respect; but from them [ do make an appeal against this wicked act.

I have simply stated the facts as they ex pect, and I would ask, can nothing be dene to prevent an act which I believe (and I»m sure your readers will agree with me) to bo so cruel and inhuman that it appears mere like the act of fiends than of those who call themselves men.

Yours truly, James P, Conroy.

Importations from Montreal.

S1x,—There is so little known to citizens generally about the existence of a Board of Health in Charlottetown that the question is often asked, ‘‘Who are the Board of Health 1” The Mayor and City Councillors compose the Board of Health, end with the exception of the famous raid they made on a pig-sty and rotten fish on Lord’s Whirf some time since, nothing has been reported of their doings If the people are afraid to take Montrea! newspapers from Post Offices, how much greater the danger of purchasing readyma-ie clothing from that infected city } Cases of goods of every kind are being daily landed in our midst from Montreal without the slightest enquiry or precautionary measures taken in reference to such goods. Where are the Board of Health? Echo answers where ?

Yours, CrrizEN.

REID BROS. have purchased a large Invoice of ’ Fine Saxonby Ali-wool Tweeds from a Manu- facturer’s Agent, whose name we are not per- mitted to mention, at a great sacrifice to the mills, and we intend wiving our patrons the advantage of this purchase. These goods have never in the history of P. EF.

Experience has taught us that many persons have been driven away in disgust from houses who are continually advertizing goods et extra- ordinary prices, Which they are unable to produce when called for, and to meet this difficulty we ask intending purchasers to cal] and examine our stock and we are coniident that one inspection will satisfy the most skeptical that we never advertize a humbug.
