DECEMBER 29, 1880, Moncton Sugar. j —_——<—— i | Refinery are superior to those of the same | prices imported from abroad or manufac- ; turad in the Dominion. To be convinced of this, dealers and consumers have only to call upon Archibald Kennedy, Esq., of

this city. Mr. Kennedy will be glad to submit, for their criticism, very fine,

sweet, yellow sugar, manufactured at Moncton—jast across the way—and sold at 84 cents per lb., for twenty bbis and up- wards, and granulated white sugar of the best quality, in lots of the same size, for 9+ cents per lb.—with 24 per cent. discount for cash in each case. ‘his enterprise can- not but succeed. It is, indeed, worthy the patronage of all Canadians; and we hope its spirited promoters will, them- selves, make, as their reward, a fortune. Soon, the refinery in Halifax will be in operation ; and, then, there will be healthy competition, which is a guarantee to the consumer that prices will not be excessive. _--

The Monetary Times on the Pacific Railway Contract.

‘Tug Monetary Times and Trade Re- view,” one of the ablest and most inde- pendent periodicals published in Canada, very ably reviewing the Pacific Railway Con- tract,in its issue of the 17th December,states that *‘ On one point there has long been an agreement between the two political par- ties with respect to the Pacific Railway. Both have taken the ground that the work ought, if possible, to be in the hands of a private company. With this common ground to stand on, the honest differences between the two political parties are nar- rowed down toa question of terms.” On this point the same reliable authrity states that ** Any company prepared to build the road would be guided by business prin- ciples and out of the risk and uncertainty incident to undertakings of this magnitude they have to extract certainty. The only way of insuring this certainty is to get margin enough in the price. Upless we were prepared to give this margin we should never have got a company to build the road and to take the risk of running it when built. The opinien has been ex- pressed that the terms made. hy the Gov- ernment will prove a very food thing’ in- deed for the Syndicate. I¢ would be easy to take up the figures and pronounce them excessive, but the real question is, Could we have got the work done for legs? If the best bargain, in respect to price, which it was possible to make for the country has been made, there is no more to be said on that head. And it would be very difti- cult, we imagine, to prove that a better bargain could have been made with men who have the finaneial standing and strength to make good any obligation they may enter into. Such a fair, impartial, and Common Sonse view of this important question, as that presented ‘by the ‘‘ Monetary Times,” is refreshing, compared to the doleful and fearful forebodings of such violent and un- scrupulous journals as the ‘Toronto Globe” the Charlottetown ‘ Patriot’ and other lesser lights of the Grit frateenity.

T'o the Editor of the Kwaminer.

Six,—With reference to the paragraph that appeared in THs Examiner of 6th December, permit me to further add, as one perhaps more deeply interested than any other, that the successful efforts of the men of the West River in cutting out of the ice the schooner Neva, has been worthy of all praise. My indebtedness to them for so doing is so great, that any language which [ can employ fails to convey my real feel- ings. Living in the land of plenty, as they ‘do, and their industrious habits being worthy of imitation, they have shown in this instance, and I believe it is character- istic of them, a real sympathy with me in distress, exhibiting a most laudable effort to save valuable property. They came for- ward to cut out for phe ice-bouna schooner a channel which enabled her to pass out- ward to the ocean as successfully as they carved for themselves (some of them) for- tunes, and all of them a competency, from the smallest beginnings. They have liter- ally made the desert to blossom as the rose. ‘i'o show your readers the value of their pluck, and it required no small amount of it to continue for four days their toil in the face of a biting northwester, 1 need only say that had the schooner re- mained in such winter quarters, the loss of her cargo at the lowest calculation would be $1,500 ; besides, a portion of mext sum- mer’s business would be seriously inter- ferred with. As it is, she came ont un- seathed, the trifling scratching of her paint being of very little consequence. I may also remark that a similar exhibition of kindness and promptness was bestowed upon myself and all concerned when at Georgetown, by the Macdonald Bros,, te whom our thanks are heartily tendered. The Nera, before this appears in print, will have arrived in Boston, and I can only hope that those brave men, from thirty to forty m number, may continue to pros- per, believing that their virtues of fmend- ship and sympathy will, in the future, as in the past, be a source of perpetual en- joyment. When the voyage of life is end- ed, may they arrive at the Haven of rest,

Yours very faithfully, James Kray.

To the Editor ef the Examiner.

Dear Nix,—lIn yeur issue of the 24th inst., in commenting upon the Ceronor’s inquest, held on the body of MeKenzie, you say it is reported that this is the third or fourth murder committed at Souris dur- ing the last 30 or 35 years.

Now Sir, as | happen to be aware of all the premature deaths that have occurred at or near Souris for the last 30 or 35 years I feel warranted in asserting that not one of them has been the result of murder. © It is, unfortunately, true that a man was killed here some twelve years ago, but the rcause of his death could scarcely be char- acterized as murder, as the man charged with the crime was tried before the late Chief Justice Hodgson, and was sentenced to only nine months imprisonment in ex- piation of his guilt.

There was, unhappily, two or three cases of menslaughter in the vicinity of Bay Fortune, and one at Montague seme years ago; but a single case of deliberate murder has never been heard of in this county, much less at Souris.

The sole cause of all the melancholy acei- dents is rum; and so long as lawless and irresponsible ‘parties are permitted to keep this maddening poison for sale in dilapi- dated shanties along tle public highways, just so long will deeds of horror and vio-

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Sir, ~The semi-annual examination of Colville School, Souris East, took place in the schoolroom, on Friday, 24th inst. Quite a number of the residents were in attendance. The manner in which the

gross expenses of operating the Dominion railways exceeded the net earnings in| 1878-9 to the extent of $813,540.74, the corresponding year_in 1879-80 amounted to | only $112,352.01, leaving a difference in} favor of 1879-80 of $701,188.73. 2. On the! othes hand, the excess of revenue accrued in 1879 80 over the year 1878-9 amounted to $319,181.65, while the operating expen- /ses in 1879-80 were less than 1878-9 by the sum of $382,007.08, leaving a net gain in 1879-80, as before shown of | $701,188.73.

pupils acquitted themselves was highly creditable to the teacher, Mr. W. C. McKie. In fact some are sufficiently ad- vanced to demand a higher grade. The progress of the closing year isstriking. The examination on the whole, was a very satis- factory one. The deportment and discip- line of the scholars is well attended to.

Mr. McKie’s long experience in the pro- fession hasrendered him a standard teacher, not only in bringing along the young, but instructing the more advanced ones. His capacity is undoubted; while his strenuous efiorts will, no doubt, be amply re- munerated,
