Small Pox

Wen a man moving in the position of Sir Francis Hincks dies of small pox, | it is pretty evident that the disease has) made heavy iuroads into Montreal; and |

whether or not vesse ls or steamers from | Montreal should be quaraptined, becomes a «uestion of immediate vital im- | Pp ‘tance

At the present time we are totally uvprepared for the attack of an epidemic disease of any kind. Our quarantine oflicer is, we regret to say it, very ill, atid not likely to be able to resume his duiies. No one has been appointed, temporarily, to take his place in case of need. Governor’s Pond is a mass -of stagnant, putrid, liquid, filth. Dead auimals lie rotting promiscuonsly about | Many sections of the town filthy state. Some of our| ‘ tenement are Bad smells abound. |

our loors are in a backyards and houses

with filth.

Malignant typhoid fever is carrying off its victims. And, worse than all, we are, apparently, quite unconcerned !

Surely it is time to wake up when we most prominent citizens of a sister city snatched away because of the neglect of precautiouary measures Can we longer remain listless, careless, and unclean? Surely no more time will be lost before providing means to apply the quarautive regulations, at any their application may be necessary, and cleansing the

Mount Stewart Political Meeting

Tue Conservatives of Mount Stewart have taken the manly course of calling a public poligical meeting, to which they have invited the strongest representative men of the Opposition. This is in striking contrast to the course pursued by the Grits at Marshfield, Belle Creek, Mouut Stewart and Clifton. It is to be h sped that the peo} le who attended the Grit Picvie will also be present at the publie meeting on Saturday. They will

then see whether Mr. L Hi. Davies will} I able to sustain, in the face of his OpP ts, the statement made by him} at the meeting at Clifton, on Weduesday ! evening last, that Sir J vhn. assi-ted by Dr. Jenkins, had disfranchised the y

— Pictou is struggling with a ‘‘new| Railway scheme.” What the merits of the scheme are, we are not told. But New Glasgow fears that, if adopted, it will tend to her injury. The Eastern Chronicle says :

“The new railway scheme if we under- derstand it proposes to make Pictou the terminus for the P. E. Island boats, to operate the Eastern extension from Stellar- ton instead of New Glaegow, as at present To take away the ferry across the harbor, to remove the workshops and offices to Stellarton and to convert New Glasgow into @ way station on the Eastern road. All the above is not openly asserted, but is, no doubt, aimed at. Is it any wonder then that the citizens of New Glasgow are alarmed. The success of such a scheme weuld very materially effect the future prosperity of our town and is not to be tamely submitted to. New Glasgow is now the chief markot of a large surrounding country whose interests are identical with those of the town. The recent rapid growth of this town and the establishment of so many important factories in this vicinity has largely aided in increasing the wealth and prosperity of the farming popu- lation both east and west, and any scheme which will retard its progress will ivjare the surrounding country. The country districta of east Pictou are beginning to see that by aiding to build up New Glasgow they are directly benefitting themselves and that any blow struck at this town must result in injury to them.”’

It is worthy of remark that the Eastern Chronicle, which is very strongly Grit, thinks the scheme will injure New Glasgow and also the farmers near it, because the important factories estab- lished under the National Policy will, if it be carried out, be placed at a dis- advantage.

—— Few people have any idea of the enormous annual loss to the country through the destruction of property by fire, a loss that is absolate, representing wealth completely blotted out of exist- ence. The New York Commercial Bul- lefty, in an estimate of the damage by fire in Canada and the United States daring July last, places it at $9 ,000,- OVO, an increase of one-third over the usval record for that month in other years. Ove hundred and seventy-three cases are mentioned where the loss was over $10,000; there were eighteen large

fires where $3,700,000 worth was destroyed. During the seven months of tne present year, the Bulletin thinks the

lire loss has been $60,000,000.

Sewerage.

MR. GAMBL'.S OPINIONS,

_—- ——— |

‘* Werner a complete system of sewer- |

' agee in connection with a system of Water |

Works is nee ssary /’ is a@ question asked | by our correspondent ‘* Citizen.” This question was put to Mr, Gamble while here. Mr. Gamble said sewerage was not abso- lutely necessary, but eventually it must fol- low the introduction of water works. With water works, water closets would come into general use, and in a city of over 1100 of a population, each family using one hundred galions a day (which is above the average), a proper system of sewerage would be necessary. However, at the present time, our soil being porous, would abserb any ordinary quantity of surplus water,

The cost of supplying Charlottetown with an efficient system of sewerage, Mr. Gamble | states, would be sma!l. Wages here are low, the streets are easily dug, and sewer pipes are cheap. A good system of sewer- age could be laid in this city for about

| $30,000, and Mr. Gamble would be anxious

to get the contract for that figure. a —

J. A., Lawson was chosen Chairman. The meeting was opened by the choir singing ‘‘Rescue the Perishing,” and Rev. J. 8. Phinney engaging in prayer.

The Chairman then introduced Mr. Shenton who spoke for an hour and a half in his usual eloquent way, treating the subject in a practical manner, thereby interesting and instructing his hearers during the delivery of his lecture.

At the close, on motion of H. McLeod, Esq., seconded by Hon. R. Munn, a hearty vote ef thanks was tendered to the Rev. Lecturer for his instructive lecture, to which he made a suitable reply.

After some practical remarks by the Chairman J. A. Lawson, Grand Worthy Chief, assisted by Jhun. D. Ferguson, Rev. Mr. Shenton and Brehaut, then institiv&ed a Lodge of Good Templars to be called Union ae No. 24, with a charter membership of 57.

Sir Francis Hincks.

Sir Francis Hincks was the youngest son of the late Rev. Dr. Hincks, Professor of | Oriental Languages in the Royal Belfa t Institution, and brother of the late Rev. Edward Hincks, D. D., Rector of Kily- leagh, who was well known by his writings on subjects connected with Egyptiar, Persian ard Assyrian archeology. He was born in the city of Cork, 14th December, 1807, was educated at the Royal Belfast Institution, and was twice married—his first wife being an _ Irish lady, who died in 1874, and his second Emily Louisa, relict of Hon. Justice Sullivan, of Toronto. He founded in 1839 the Toronto Examiner, a Reform journal, which he edited for several years ; and in 1844 the Montreal Pilot, also devoted to the interests of the Reform party, of which he was for many years chief political writer. He was a member of the Executive Council and Inspector General of Canada from June, 1842, to November, 1843, when he retired from the Government with his political chiefs, Messrs. Lafontains and Baldwin, but held the same office again, first, from March, 1848, to October, 1851, in the cabinet of Messrs. Lafontaine and Baldwin, and, secondly, from the latter date to September, 1854, in the Hincks-Morin administration, of which he was leader. Sic Francis visited Wash- ington on several occasions to confer with the British minister on trade relations be- tween Canada and the United Sates, and was selected by the Karl of Elgin to accom- pany him as representative of Canada when he negotiated the Reciprocity Treaty of 1854; was a delegate to the Maritime Provinces in 1852 on the subject of the [ntercolonial Railway, and in the same year was a delegate te the Imperial Government to urge’ the repeal of the Clergy Reserves Act. and the grantof a guarantee for the Intercolonial Railway, during which visit he mode the preliminary arrangements with Messrs, Peto, Brassey, Betts & Jackson which re- sulted in the construction of the Grand Trunk Railway by Hoglish capitalists. He was Governor-in-Chief of Barbados and the

Governor of British Guinea from the latter date till 1869. He was created a Compan- ion of the Order of the Bath in 1862, and a Knight Commander of the Order of Sr. Michael and St. George in 1869. Sir Francis was first returned to the old

representing that constitutency for some three years, when he was defeatel. In 1851 he was again elected, and in 1855 was returned for South Oxford, and for Ren- frew, but he chose to accept the latter seat, which he filled until he temporarily retired from Canadian public life by accepting an appointment from the Imperial Govern.

ment, On again accepting ofilce is Canada, he was returned for North | , Renfrew in the Commons, October, i869, which he _ represented fill the lose of Parliament, when he _ was

returned for Vancouver, for which he sat antil bis relirement at the gereral election of 1874. Sir Francis was Finance Minister of Canada from October, 1869, until February, 1873, when he resigned, to be succeeded by Sir Leonard Tilley. He served in the Ontario Boundary Commis- sion with Chief Justice Harrison and Sir Edward Thornton in 1878, and was prom- inently identified with (Canadian matters of both sides of the Atlantic close up to the hour of his death.

Rt. Rev. Peter McIntyre.

(From the Montreal Herald. )

The twenty-fifth anniversary of the ac- cession of the Right Rev. Peter McIntyre to the Bishopric of Charlottetown was cele- brated in the capital of Prince Edward Island with great rejoicings, not by the Catholics of the Province alone, but by Protestants. Bishop McIntyre is deserv- edly one of the most popular men in the Province. While zealous aad indefatigable iu furthering the interests of his church, his urbanity and kindness of hexrt have won for him hosts of frends amongst Protestants of all denominations. The venerable Bishop is a native of the islaud. He has in the last twenty five years done as mach as any one man could possibly do to improve the religious and the social con dition of the people under his care. As an administrator he has but few equals. The number of institutions, educational and maintained is, considering the means at his disposal, really wonderful.

One Against Three.

AN IRATE FARMER WHiPS THREE TRAMPS BB- FORE A DELIGHTED AUDIENCE,

The residence of Nosh Lockable, on a farm near Brown’s Valley, Ind., was entered by tramps on Sunday night, the 16th inst. Lockable was awakened by the noise, sprang from his hed and closed with the one in the room. The burg’ar was re- inforeed by two others. Mr. Lockable is a powerful man, and flung the captured burg- lar against the two others in such a man- ner as to bring the three tothe floor. Then he went at them with a club. His wife brought the clothes line, and together they bourd the tramps, sat down and waited for them to recovery When the tramps re- gained consciousness, Mr. Lockable asked them which they preferred, to be taken to Crawfordsville and placed in jail, where they stood a chance of several years in the penitentiary, or to be led out, one at a

time, and receive such a whipping as he would administer. They chose the latter, and the farmer took them out severally, tied them

to the gatepost and administered 100 lashes to each tramp with a large new rawhide wag n whip. Each stroke of the whip raised a huge welt on the back of the tramp, and when the operation was completed a pool of
