Civic Meeting in Ward 4.

According to notice, a meeting of the electors of Ward 4 was held in McPhail’s Wareroom, for the purpose of discussing

civic affairs and selecting a candidate for |

the coming election.

Dr. Beer was called to the chair, and the |

undersigned appointed secretary.

The chairman opened ihe meeting by briefly reviewing the policy of the present Council —their irregularity in renewing the lease of the Bell Tower and Gerry- maundering in the letting of the Market stalls.

Councillor Chappelle spoke for some time in explanation of his conduct, as a member of the Street and Market Committees, touching upon other matters of general interest.

Councillor Lea was surprised to hear Councillor Chappelle taking credit to him- self for introducing white hemlock in place of refuse for street purposes, as this change was due to other members of the Council.

Mr. James Curtis, although not a voter in the ward, represented the general in- terests of the city as President of ‘‘Civic Protection Association.” He asked the Councillors present several questions, and warned the Electors that there is a ‘‘rod in pickle” which would be held over them if the opportunity presented itself.

Councillor Blake allowed several ques- tions which had been asked and vindicated his action as a representative to the apparent satisfaction of the meeting. He was sur-

rised to hear that Councillor Chappelle

ad signed the Market Committee docu- ment without reading it.

Mr. Ladner denounced the policy of dis- franchising holders of stalls in the Market House. They should have the same privileges as other tenants, neither of which contribute to the revenue. He had heard that parties were going to convert the ‘‘Athenzeum” into a public market, which would injure our interests.

J. P. Tanton traced the manipulation of Public Accounts and squandering of public money from the commencement to thecom- pletion of the enormous debt which the city is now compelled to shoulder. While exonerating Councillor Blake from all blame in the matter, he denounced the principle of renewing an unexpired lease or tampering with important matters on the eve of an election. He hoped the electors would make a general rout from Ward 5 to Ward 1.

General civic affairs were ably discussed by the above, and other gentlemen present.

Mr. Ladner was proposed by Mr. S. Mc- Rae; and Samuel Lowe was proposed by John McPhail. Mr. Lowe declined nomin- ation, and it being late in the evening, a motion of adjournment was put and carried and the meeting duly adjouwned until Tuesday, January 2nd, to meet at the same hour and place.

Secretary.

Reports have been received from Mr. Begg, of London, Eng., agent of the Cana- dian Pacific Railway, in which he says emi- gration promises to be very much larger next season than it was this year, and also predicts that a large number of settlers willcome from the Continent.

By instructions of B. R. H., the Duke of Cambridge, Field-Marshal Commander- in-Chief, the War Office has conveyed his condolence with the family and friends of Major P. O. J.

The communication con- tains a flattering reference to the deceased ofticer in the despatch from the General eommanding the forces at Cairo.

Sir A. Alison, who distinguished himself in the recent Egyptian campaign, is the son of Sir Archibald Alison, the author of the ‘‘ History of Europe,” whose auto-biog- raphy, edited by his daughter-in-law, Lady Alison, has recently been published. The present baronet’s distinction in his military career may be said to date from hia first meeting with Lord Clyde (Sir Colin Camp- bell), while doing trench duty before Se- bastopol. He and his brother were both then serving in the 72nd Highlanders, and one night when the elder (Sir A. now) was at the head of the column, being captain of the light company, and uncertain (uot hav- ing received distinct orders) where to place his men, ha asked Sir Colin what he should do. ‘“‘Dont ask me,” replizd the Gen- eral ; ‘‘I don’t even know where I am.” “Oh,” resumed Alison, ‘“‘]I think I can show you where you are,” and he drew from his breast a drawing of the trenches which he had copied on an envel- ope. Sir Colin then placed the men, and before going away said to the young officer, ‘**You seem to be a sensible fellow. Come to my chateau at two in the morning, when all is quiet, and we will have a talk.” The chateau in question was a little hollow in the earth, capable of holding two or three persons, just in the middle ef the trenches occupied by the Highlauders. The visit took place, and Sir Colin’s favour for the Alisons iasted until bis death, though, when their intercourse began, he had no notion who the young man who addressed him was.
