Secretary :

1 thank you sincerely for the address you have presented me from this important semi-annual session of the Grand Lodge,and for the fraternal greetings it conveys from your association and the societies it re- presents. I am pleased, indeed, to have this expression of your united gratification that a fellow worker in the great cause of temperance has been chosen to fill the honorable position of Lieutenant-Governor of this Province.

I have long known that the design of your Order, is to promote temperance habits and sentiments—to save the young from falling—to reclaim the iniemperate, and increase the respect for the law, which is such an important factor in enforcing its proper observation. Such objects aud aims have ever claimed my sympathy, and en- listed my support, and whatever increased influence my present position has given me. will I trust, on all suitable occasions, be used toenforce both by precept and ex- ample, those ennobling principles which your Order in common, with all other tem- persnce associations, is earnestly striving to practice and inculcate.

{ also thank you cordially, for your good wishes for Mrs. Macdonald and our family, who are all strenuous advocates of temper- ance in all things.

PKIZES AWARDED. ‘To-day Major Irving received from the Secretary of the Dominion Artillery Asso- ciaticn the prizes awarded to the Detach- ments from Nos. Land 2 Batteries of the Island Brigade of Garrison Artillery, at the recent meeting at Quebec. They are as follows:~— Shifting Ordnance.

Ist prize, ‘‘ A” shift, 875.00 4th prize, “‘ B” shift, 10.00 40 Pr. Rifled Gun Practice. 2nd Aggregate, No. 1 Battery, 25.00 Individual Prizes.

Lieut. Longworth, 00 Corpi. Connolly, 3.00 Sergt. Heartz, 2 00

Total, $140.00

It will be remembered that the forty pounder is a breech-loading, rifled gun, with the drill and working of which— —being rather complicated—the detach- ments were totally unacquainted, in fact had never seen a gun of that nature before. Everything considered, the Brigade are to be congratulated on their success,

The Governor-Genera!’s prize for general efficiency has not yet been awarded, and we hope yet to hear of its again being won by one or the other of the City Batteries, both ef which we learn were given very high points by Col. Cotton, the Assistant Inspector of Artillery, when inspected by him.

er The Tichborne Case.

The San Francisco, Cal., Examiner of the 7th inst., publishes a long interview with Edmund Orton, who returned on the last steamer from Anstralia, where he went at the instance of Miss Georgina Baring, danghter of one of the Baring brothers, celebrated London bankers, for the purpose of identifying Arthur Orton, who is con- fined in Parametta lunatic asylum at Sydney, N.S. W. He states that he did identify him as his brother, and is there- fore thoroughly convineed that the Tich- borne claimant, recontly discharged from prison in London, is really Roger Tich- borne, heir of the Tichborne estate. The real Arthur Orten, now in Australia, will be taken to London to further establish his identity.

the 3ist Dec. 1884. The statement | for trial to the Supreme Court. By it, a steady decrease of crime in the | city is shown. Only in one class is a! large increase noticeable, and that class | of offenses — breaches of City laws:— is petty. The Temperance) advocates will be pleased to} see the constant decrease ia the num ber of drunkards convicted since 1877. The year ‘77 Rppears to have been one) of remarkable inebrity, In that year no less than seven hundred and twenty-nine persons were convicted and fised for drunkenness, while in the year 1884 only two hundred and twenty-vine persons were convicted. The year 1881 was the most.femperate on record. Odaly ove hundred and ninety-three persons

bye- |

were convicted for being drunk during that ‘year. The crime of

jarceny has decreased from fifty-three convictions in 1877 in the Stipendiary Magistrate's Court, to nine iu 1884. In 1877 ten thieves were sent for trial in the Supreme Court, but in 1884 no serious robberies occurred, The offences committed came under the heading of petty larceny, aud were disposed of by the Stipendiary Magistrate himself. A steady decreas in actions of assault has also taken place. In the year ‘77 sixty-six convictions for larceny were made, while | in the year 1884 only twenty-nine came} before the court. In all other classes a steady and pleasing decrease in crime has taken place, as may be seen by this statement :—

The “other offenses” committed since 1877 are mostly trivial, but the list in- cludes a few serious crimes, such as arson, highway robbery, etc. In the year 1877 one case of assault with in- tent to rape occurred ; the assailant was committed for trial in the Supreme Court. A single individual was in that year committed for trial in the Supreme Court for riot. Three others were com- mited for trial in the same year for shooting§ with intent to maim; and two were sent up for burglary. In 1878 two eases of manslaughter were sent up for trial in the Supreme Court ; and in 1879 a case of highway robbery was similarly disposed off. In 1883 two cases of highway robbery occurred; and only one took place in 1884, During this period but two cases of arson—oue in 1882 aud one in 1884, and one case of embezzlement—occurred.

This statement is highly gratifying, first, because it shows a remarkable de- crease in all classes of offences; and secoud, because it proves that Charlotte- town, with its population of ten thousand two hundred and eighty souls, bas as few if not fewer criminals than any other city of the same size in the Domision.

The Trouble in Lennox.

Our advices from Lennox, says the Halifax Herald, are to the effect that the ‘*drover” or “mysterious stranger,” who has recently taken such an active part in the Ontario elections iu the Grit interest, did not come to time in the late contest. To his absence, it is asserted, the Leunox Grits are imputing their defeat, and are avgrily asking what delayed his coming. To this question no decided answer is being given, though it appears that some of the more iv- genious among the electors have a theory which may or may not be correct. It has long been asserted in “Tory” circles that the afore- said “drover” or ** mysterious siran- ger” was a P. E. Islander. Now it is well kuowu that in the crisis of the late contest Sir Richard Cartwright wrote a letter to Mr. L. H. Davies of Charlotte- town. By some mishap the letter got opened while passing through the post, aud Mr. Davies and his little pocket organ have beev frantic with rage ever since. The theory therefore is that the la‘ter in question was an appeal for an-

other visit from the m‘s-ionary “drover,” | |

that a clerk in the Kingston post office

cry it coutaived. At any rate no

'‘drover,’ muffled or otherwise, ventured ‘into Lenucx in the late contest, and the |

Grit party suffered in consequence. They had Blake, Cartwright, Patterson, Charlton, aud a host of others, working with and for them, but without the P. FE. L “drover’ with his five dollar bank his rallying cry. “remember Allison.” the Grits of Leenox were utterly powerless for battle. Blake's heavy oratory, Cartwright’s high falsctto

| cereams. and Patterson’s thunder fell ou theavy ears, who having grown accustom-

ed to the ‘“‘drover’s’” musical votes re {used to be charmed by any other. But ‘some one had bluvdered” and the “drover” feeling that recognition and arrest awaited him should he appear again on the old Concessions in the back townships of Lennox, refused to “go west.’ Like the lover of her in the Moated Grange he came not, and with equally sad results to those who awaited him

—The Minister of Finance has inti- mated his intention of bringing on legis- lation during the coming session to make Mutual and Co-operative Life Associ:- tions subject to the inspection of Gov- erument oflicers, and to compel them to make a deposit with the Government for the benefit of policy holders, the same as regular stock companies are to do. In view of this a convention of delegates from various associations of this char- acter doing business in Canada, both American and Canadian, will be held in Ottawa, on the 13th inst., to discuss the matter.

—Tue EXAMINER is condemned by the Halifax Chronicle avd the St. John Tele- graph! Weare undone. To throw a little ridicule upon their brother in arms, the Patriot, for pronouncing the Post Office clerks guilty, before trial, aud for publishing to the World the fact of Sir Ricbard’s private communications with Mr. Davies on political matters, because an envelope was accidentally or designedly torn, is a very grave offence in their estimation. We must hasten to eat ’umble pie.

Pictou Bank— The directors’ report and arnual statement of the affairs of the Pictou Bank has been issued. The state- ment (after retaining $14,840.16 for interest on deposits and notes and bills not due) shows net earnings for the year of $2).576,- 18, and the surplus profits on hand from

| last year $73,879.54, or, in all, $99,455.83.

Out of this amount the directors have made provision for losses in connection with the Logan Tannery amdunting to $90,000,
