A very sad drowning accident occurred off Cape Bear, Murray Harbor, at noon on Thursday last. A large coal-laden boat, owned by Mr. Abraham Stewart, of Mur- ray Harbor South, was coming from Pictou to Murray Harbor when she sprung a leak, became water-logged, and sank in six and a half fathoms of water, about three-quarters of a mile from the shore. Besides the owner, there were on board at the time, Mr. John Brenan, of Murray Harbor South; Miss Glover, daughter of Mr. David Glover, of White Sands, and Mrs. Edward Haberlin, daughter of the late Andrew Bell, of the same place. Stewart and Brenan saved themselves by launching a dory which was on deck, but, sad to re- late, the two females went down with the ill-fated boat. It is feared that the men did not put forth sufficient effort to save their more helnless companions, and it is supposed that the latter were in the cabin when the boat went to the bottom, quite unconscious of their impending fate. The top of the boat’s mast can be seen at low water, and a diver has been sent for to search for the bodies of the unfortunate women. Miss Glover was only 21 years of

and. Mrs. Haberlin but 24. We sym- ize with the families of the deceased their sad bereavement.— Argus.

T'o the Editor of the Hxraminer.

Sir,—Can you inform me whether the Local Government is gntitled to receive rent for the public budines on this Island, or whether public officers are allowed to rent such buildings and appropriate the money for their own private purpose? I am informed on good authority that acertain JarLor has rented a portion of the jail for an armory, and

4 pockets the nice little sum of forty dollars per

annum rent for said armory. Now, if the Local Government is entitled to this money (which, I believe, it is), I hope they will make this character, commonly called fom, disgorge this amount at once. What is the Commis- sioner of Public Works doing that he cannot look after these things. Yours, &c., VINDEX. Georgetown, Oct. 28, 1878.

Civic. To the Editor of the Examiner :

Str,—Through the indefatigable exertions of the member from Ward 2—Councillor Byrne—the independence of the City Council \is about to be preserved. He denounces, night after night, the Councillors who violated Section VIII. of the Act of Incorporation. This section says that no person shall occupy \ seat at the Council Board ‘‘ during such time as such person shall hold any office or place of profit in the gift or disposal of the said Coun- cil, or during such time as he shall have, di- rectly or indirectly, by himself or his partner, any share or interest in any contract or em- ployment with or on behalf of the Council.” For years men sat in the City Council who were contractors with the City. This, per haps, may account for some of the selfish civic legislation experienced by our citizens.

At a meeting of this body held on the 21st inst., Councillor Morris requested the Corpor- ation, from his seat in the Council Chamber, to notify Morris & Hyndman that the cottage on Brighton Road, of which the City of Char- lottetown was the tenant, was no longer re- quired. This was an admission of his Cosine been a contractor with the city. Councillor Byrne stated in the observations which fell from him that the charter by which they were governed compelled all Councillors who were contractors with the city to resign their seats. He presumed they would resign and fight the battle over again.

Last night his Worhisp the Mayor said that several disqualified Councillors were sit- ting at the Council Board. Whereupon Conn- cillors Morris and Heartz resigned. His Wor- ship stated that the seat of another Councillor who was then absent would be declared va- cant.

Yours, etc., FAaIRPLAY. Ch'town, Oct. 29,°1878.

Napoleon Bonaparte loved not Rousseau. At Ermonville one day he said to a friend who praised the philosopher, ‘‘No, he was a bad man; without him France would have had no Revolution.” Observing that his friend smiled, the First Consul added : ‘‘You wish to say that without the Revolu- tion you would not have had me? Per- naps not; I believe so; but France would have been all the happier.’”’ When asked if he would like to see the hermitage, the cap, the table, the arm-chair, and other relics of the philosopher. Napoleon said, ‘‘Kah! I have no taste for such follies ; show them to my brother Louis, who is worthy of them.”
