Calumny Defeaied.

'‘aF unanimity and cordiality with which the ¢lectors of Cardigan stand by the Hon. Donald Ferguson, and the thorou h way in which they denounce his slanderers, are 2s ga land wormwood to the Patriot and its m:rmidons. But a good man, who does hi: duty, always in the end, triamphs over hi: calumniators. It is somewhat signifi- cart that not one of the slandering clique had the courage to face Mr. Ferguson at CO: rdigan.

The Patriot tries to make a point out of the fact that the electors of Cardigan asked the Government*to provide certain wharfs, bridges, etc., required in the District. But in this the electors of Cardigan only availed tiemselves of the privileges accorded all free and intelligent men in this free coun- try ; and they showed their wisdom in pre- ferving their requests at a time when the Provincial affairs are managed by capable men who have Provincial interests at heart.

When off Murphy’s Point, and about three- quarters of a mile north of the Block House, the right runner of Mr. Finnigan’s sleigh broke through the ice and sank; Mr. Finnigan fell off; and, in an instant the load of brick slid on top of him. Im- mediately before this Mr. Murphy, witha view of keeping more closely to the hushed track, drew his ho se to tha right side of Mr. Finnigan’s sleigh, and as Mr. Murphy did not perceive the accident, his horse fol- lowed on ond went down throngh thie ica

escaped the fate of his unfortunate cemrace. Mr. Murphy says he did not see Finnigan for a few minutes before the sleigh runner broke through the ice. He heard him call when the brick fell en top of him ; but, in an instant after that, he (Murphy) was pre- cipitated into the water. It is supposed that when Finnigan fell off the sleigh, and the brick fell on top of him, that Murphy’s horse drove along side, and all went to the bottom. Mr. Murphy, on escaping from his perilous position, called lustily for help. A number of men arrived and released Mr. Finnigan’s horse, but were unable to take Mr. Murphy’s from the bettom. No trace of the deceased’s body was visible, and those whe went io Mr. Mutphy’s assistance left with the expectation that they would, this morning, find the body on the bottom under the brick which fell off the sleigh. But this morning when they went to the scene of the accident, their expecta- tions were not realized. Neither hody of man nor horse, could be-seen. All. were carried of by the strong onrrent But a number of bricks remained to be seen on the bottom.

The deceased Mr. Finnigan was an in- dustrions and ebliging person, who merited the respect af ail whe knew him. He was about forty-five years of age, and leaves a wife and five children to mourn his untime- ly death. .

Friends of the higher education of women will be giad to hear that a Miss Charlotte Angas Scott, of Girten Cellege, Cambridge, has this year passed an exami- ination which, but for her sex, would have placed her in the pesition of 8th Wrangler. This is a very high henour, even for a clever man.

MEMORIAL TO THE LATE ¥RINCE IMPERIAL,

A memorial has been drawn up for signa- ture and will be shortly presented to the Dean of Westminster, with reference to the proposed erection in Westminster Abbey of a monument to the late Prince Louis Napo- leon. The memorial protests against the erection of the proposed monument on the two grounds that in itself the proposal is wholly ont ef harmony with the national and historic character of the Abbey, and that it would give rise to needless and un- fortunate misapprehension in a friendly natien of the intentions of the prometers and of the fecling of the English people,

‘Two days ago I received a leiter froma friend of mine, who isan officer of long standiny, and now serving in Afghanistan. He tells me that the quasi-oflicial telegrants which appear inthe Press respecting the eampaign excite shonts of laughter when the uewspapers containing them reach Afghanistan, owing to their impudent in- accuracy. If we are ever to‘engage in an European war, he says, with any chance of success, we must have other soldiers than those in the ranks, and another command- erthan Sir F. Roberts, who, it is con- considered, has taken to himself all the credit due to General Marcy. '

Much the same opinien of our troops is entertained by almost all the officers who have ssrved in Zululand, and I believe thet Dr. Russell’s strictures are not a whit too strong. The non-commissioned officers had no contre! over their men,and the men were ainere mob. In Zululand there were countless scares, and so soon as the Natal frontier had bean recrossed nearly one- half of seme regiments were undor arrest for drunkness, pillaging, and disobedience to oflicers.

Tho Skating Rink.

Vo the Editor of the Hraminer. )

Dear Sirn,—-Yesterday’s Herald contained

ashort account of a skating match which took piace in one of the Montreal skating rinks abéut ten days ago, in which one of eur Islanders, Mr. Williston Brown, figured conspicuously. Now, sir, why isit that we never have anything of the kind here! In the ranks ef healthy, pleasant exercises, skating takes a foremost place, and should be encouraged in every possible way. Soe far as ] can see, the only reason we don’t have skating matches here is, that the young men have not sufficient ‘‘vim’’ to take hold ef the thing and work it up. In other places the rink directors make up prize lists themselves and are more than ; repaid by the admiesion fees of spectators. ‘There is nothing in the world to prevent ‘eur rink directors advertising a skating match of one er two hours duration, and offering a prize list. I am quite sure it would be a success, for we have a number of very good skaters, and they would be all (sure to enter for the match. It is quite time we had something of the sort, and there is no time like the present. In two ‘er three weeks more theice will be quite ‘soft and almost unfit for skating on. _Hoping that the Directors may see fit to take this matter up and bring it to a satis- factory conclusion, I remain, yours truly, SKATER.
