A vew days ago Tur Examiner noted the return of Rev. Angus Macdonald, famil- iarly known as “* Father Angus,” who had been spending the winter in Montreal for the benefit of his health. To-day it is our sad duty to occurred at an early hour this morning. This news, which was not altogether unex- pected, will be received with deep regret by

The late lamented ciergyman was a son of Angus Macdonald and Mary Campbell. He was born at Fairfield, East Point, on the 4th Nevember, 1830, and was baptized in the Church of St. Columba, at that place, by the Venerable Bishop McEachern. He began his academic course at the Cen- tral Academy, Charlottetown, in 1845, and went to the Grand Seminary, Quebec, in 1852. He was ordained priest in 1855. After his ordination he was appointed rector of St. Dunstan's College, a position he held for some fifteen years, doing excel- lent work in the interests of Education. Upon his leaving St. Dunstan’s in 1871, he was appointed to the mission of Fort Augustus, where he remained some time, and during which period church of St. Patrick and parochial resi- dence. From Fort Augustus he was trans- ferred to Grand River West where he re- mained till his health began to fail, when he was appointed assistant to Rev. R. P.

loses

Recent letiers from England brought news of the death of R. B. Thomas, Es4., at his residence, Fowey, Cornwall, on the 4th of March last. Mr. Thomas came to this Island about twenty-three years ayo, and bought a farm near Montague Bridge, on which he resided til} failing health obliged him to give it up. He afterwards resided in Charlottetown till 1882, when he returned to England. Mrs. Thomas, who was in excellent health on leaving the Island, died on the 19th August last, and her loss was severely felt by her husband, who had for several years been an invalid, When Mr. Thomas came to P. E. Island he was in the prime of life, and exceedingly handsome. Being an intelligent man of good parts and address, he soon became a favorite; and his departure from the colony was regretted by everyone who knew him. He leaves many friends in this Island who mourn his death, and who will long remember him as a kind-hearted, jovial English gentleman.

Herring Fishing at Cardigan.

For some years past, a few American fishermev have been in the habit of getting herring for bait at Cardigan wharf, near the mouth of Cardigan River. This spring s number of Nova Scotian Bankers came to that place for their bait, and getting what they wanted quickly and cheap, it is likely that a most important business will be de- veloped. Enormous shoals of herring struck Cardigan River on Friday night, the 26th inst., and on Saturday twelve schooners got their supply of bait. As each vessel takes from 40 to 60 barrels of herring, there must have been over 600 barrels taken in the one night. There are about coe hundred Bankers sailing out of Lunen- burg and Mahone Bay in Nova Scotia, and it is supposed that they will all come to Cardigan and the eastern part of the Island for bait, instead of going to the Magdalen Islands as they formerly did. If this busi- ness can be followed up, it means large profits for the fishermen of the Cardigan River. One man named Bouchere, with his son, made $36 on Friday night. The herring were so plentiful that the fisher- men had to work all night hauling their nets, to keep them from being broken by the weight of fish.

—It is pleasing to learn that the New- foundland seal fisheries are very successful. A St. John’s depatch says that more than $1,000,000 worth of seals have been cap- tured by the seal hunters from that port within the past six weeks. The steamer Wolf was first vo return with a full cargo of 25,000 seals. Seals are worth $2.50 each, hence the value of the Wolf's cargo ia en Since the Wolf's arrival, the Ran- ger has come in with 38,000 seals, valued at over $100,000, She was out 19 days. The

Walrus arrived next with 15,000 seals. Then came the Neptune with 30,000, the Hector with 15,000, the Esquimaux with ee the Terra Nova with 31,000, the 4, con with 27,000, the Vanguard with — the Kite with 29,000, and the Pan- aa with 16,000. The latter vessel lost from her deck ia a heavy swell. In

Notes and Clippings.

~—A recent official return shows that be- tween 1882 and 1889 the assessed value of the counties in Nova Scotia increased from $42,500,000 to $52,750,000, or by ten and a quarter million dollars. During the same time the assessed value of the incorporated towns and cities grew from $20,750,000 to $29,250,000. The whole represents a value in 1888 of $18,750,000 more than in I882. These figures do not agree with the Grit theory that the country is perishing for want of a change of fiscal policy.

-Toronto Empire : The rejection of

prohibition in Massachusetts was expected. The State had tried prohibition before, and was not satisfied, but of late years the liquor law is probably more stringent than that of any non-prohibition State in the Union. The lowest saloon license is now $1,000, and there is no maximum. The aumber of licenses to be issued is determin- ed yearly by vote of the people, and the New York Tribune says: “It is argued that this steady increase in the stringency of temperance legislation is largely due to the system of annually submitting the ques- tion of license or no license to the voters of each community. -St. John Sun: The Tororto Mai isa clever paper. It was sued for libel by Hon. Mr. Latlamme. It put in a plea of justifi- cation containing additional statements. The jury found a verdict of $5,000 for the original libel, and another $5,000 for the libel said to be contained in the plea. On appeal the verdict was reduced to $8,000, which has no doubt been paid. The Mail has now been sued for libel by representa- tives of the Jesuits. It has not engaged as its counsel the lawyer who permitted or ad- vised the proprietor to put in the $5,000 plea, but has engaged the man who won the $8,000. The Hon. Mr. Laflamme has shown that he knows something about libel law as applied in Quebec, and he has been engaged as counsel for the Mail.

—At a recent meeting of the Halifax City Council the following resolution was carried unanimously :

Whereas, The Couacil is deeply sensible of the painstaking attention which the retirin mayor has always brought to the discharge o the official duties pertaining to the office of Chief Magistrate of the city of Halifax for the past two years, and desires to place on record its appreciation of the impartial and able manner in which these duties were so prompt- ly and efficiently dischar ged.

Therefore Resolved, That this Council here- by tenders His Worship the Mayor its thanks for the faithful, able and impartial manner in which he has always discharged the high duties pertaining to his office, and expresses its regret that the relations which have exist- ed so long are now about to terminate. Resolved further, That the Clerk be directed to engross this resolution on the minutes and other records of the Council.

His Worship made a suitable reply.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

as An Explanation

Srr,—Kindly allow me space in your paper to make an explanation, with respect to a statement which has been made con- cerning the management of the Oddfellows concert, to the effect that seats had been specially reserved for certain persons, and that gross favoritism had been shown. This charge was fhade by a prominent citizen not only in the concert hall, but on the street since, and asa member of the committee having had charge of the seating arrangements | must emphatically deny its truth. The only seats specially reserved were those occupied by the Lieut.-Governor and suite, a mark of respect to Her Ma- jesty’s representative, which 1 am sure no one would object to. Many applications were made to the committee to have certain seats kept or re- served, but the reply in every instance was that such could not be done. In seating the hall, some seventy or eighty chairs which could not be placed in the ordinary seating space, were kept, to place in the aisles arid near the front of the stage, if absolutely necessary ; these were all used, and were given out without any respect of persons. Many of them had to be so plac- ed that the occupants could only see a small portion of the stage, and others so near to the foot-lights as to be very uncomfortable. Had the gentleman who made himself conspicuous by his talk and accusations of favoritism wished for one of-these seats he had only to ask for it in order to be ac- commodated. As the seat he occupied was a much better one it is just possible that it was not altogether the position that annoy- ed him. I make this explanation, as [ consider it due to the large number of citizens who every year patronize our concert, and who, { am sure, give us credit for trying to please them all. Yours &c.,

Cuester B, McN&ILL.

Queen Square Gardens.

Srtr,—I beg to correct the statement re- garding the cost of Queen Square Gardens, which appeared in your issue of the 26th inst., as it is rather misleading, inasmuch as it would appear that the sum of $845 was actually spent on the Square last sea- son, whereas, in reality,-that sum was the expenditure from Sept. 15th, 1887 (the date of the statement read last spring) to 26th April instant, being for work perform- ed in the autumn of 1887, taking in plants, &c., for the whole of last summer, and for the care of plants in the conservatory in the winters of 1887-8 and 1883-9, and also for cost of seeds and the work preparing plants, &c., for this season.

HE ABOVE HAS BEEN A SETTLED FACT FOR YEARS, and to keep before

the public what is so well known to every good dresser in this Province, may seem superfiuous. But as a good dinner tends to give a quietus to the disturbing influences within the inner man, so a thorovgh knowledge of vur capabilities wil! give a quictus to anyone who may Lave had the good fortune of being dressed by us. The sun rises and sets, and it appears to tle ordinary judgment that the sun revolves arcund the earth instead of the earth revolving around the sun ; so we, through the immense strides we have taken in our art, would appear to the uneducated to be moving around our many friends, instead of they moving around us; like the sun imparts its warm rays to revive drooping nature, so we are the benefactors of our people, by aiming high and attaining to a STYLE and FINISH in our Garments, which cannot but commend us as the MERCHANT TAILORING PHILANTHROPISTS of our day.

Are you anxious to test the foregoing? Come in, then, and see our line of Goods, which are superior, in every sense of the word, and we will fit you out with a Suit which will doubtless draw the loving remark from your best girl that she has ‘* the best dressed young man in town.” Call early, if you must have it belore Ist July.
