We are pleased to learn that the Charlotte- town Woolen Factory has been obliged, owing to a rush of orders, to run day and night for some time past. This industry, it will be re- membered “was established 1881, and has since grown rapidly under the fostering intluences of the N. P. Every year improvements In the buildings and machinery have been made, Last year some $8, (#00 worth oi improvements were effected, and this year, in addition to the building of a new warehouse and coal shed, the Company propose monies the mills half as large again as at present. 5 1ould this idea be carried out, the mills will, we are informed, be the largest and best in the Lower Provin- ces. The manufactures of the Company are in great demand throughout Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, as well as on the Island, and as the wool soason is now approaching 4 large increase in trade is anticipated. The Com- pany altogether employs about fifty persons, and the weekly average of wages isin the neighborhood of $490. Ve wish the Company continued success. ————-

lad, about nineteen years of age. It appears |

that some three years ago, while at play

with some other boys, DeCourcey’s knee

| The Under Secretary add@ed that ‘* when

came in contact with an iron bar. The!

injuries received were severe and painful, but he did not pay much attention to them at the time. About eight months ago, how- ever, the knee and surrounding parts became very much enlarged and _ painful. Medical aid was called into requisition, and everything possible done to benefit the lad, but without avail. A short time ago De Courcey was taken to the hospital where the knee was examined by the attending surgeons. It was then discovered that the bones Were so much diseased that amputa- tion of the leg was necessary, which was done at the knee joint. The patient is, we learn, progressing favorably since the operation. ——--> Anovt two o'clock Sunday morning a man named Gresham who keeps a small grocery store on the Lower Malpeque Road, was aroused from his slumbers by hearing a noise next door. He got up and opened the shop door and saw three or four men up the road near Euston Street, and a woman standing a short distance down the road. He spoke to the woman and accused her of being the cause of bringing men about the neighborhood causing disturb- ances. She denied the charge and called the men back, Gresham becoming alarm- ed at the approach of the men shut and barred the door. The door was soon broken in and sev@gal of the men entered. Gresham seized a revolver which was lying on the shelf. The men grappled with him and soon secured the weapon, one of their number firing it over the head of Gresham. One of them held him while the other beat him about the head and face with the butt of the revolver. A young man was arrested Sunday ferenoon as being the principal assailant. He was arrainged be- fore the Stipendiary Magistrate this fore- noon and remanded for eight days. A Gay Adventurer.

Axovt three months since there arrived on our hospitable shores a person represent- ing himself as an ex-French Cavalry ofticer of wealthy parentage and distinguished connection. Society received him with open arms, and he was the ‘‘lion” of the day. Attentions were showered upon him, and in return he was prodigal in his hospi- tality. Many little eccentricities were looked upon as evidences of his “high breeding.” whilst his reckless extravagance was buta sign of his unbounded wealth. The notice of our citizens was attracted by his many and elegant costumes, the elegance and number of the equip- ages he drove and the sang froid with which he lost (7?) what to our people seemed immense sums of money but to him were ‘“‘trifies light as air.” Hotels, livery stables, saddlers’ stores, jewelry stores, clothiers, gent’s outfitters and restaurants were taxed to the utmost for supplies deemed good enough to be in keeping with the style assumed, and all went merry as a marriago bell—until Saturday last.

For some little time, however, reports have been in circulation that all was not right from a financial point of view and various and many were the conjectures made as to what the outcome would be. By a process peculiar to reports, the total amount of liabilities and assets were not mly discovered but almost any one could give in detail the various items which went to make up_ each individual bill. A report that the ci-devant officer was negotiating for a passage in the steamer Clifton, which sailed for England on that day, aroused suspicion and a stil] hunt was begun for ‘‘spot cash,” or its equivalent which culminated in the arrest and inearceration of the individual just as the shades of night began to fall—and the Clifton to get up steam, A concise accotint of the various creditors who presented themselves, and their claims would occupy more space than we care to give it; buta curious aggregation of queer facts was re- vealed. The one salient point brought out was that all the style had been kept up ‘‘on paper,” and that some one other than our hero would have to pay the piper. A mad rush to ‘‘cover” shorts ensued, and hitherto indulgent creditors were glad to seize whatever they could lay their hands upon in lieu of the cash. In this rush some were successful and some were not. More jewelry changed hands than has so done in Charlottetown for ‘‘ many’s the day”; while riderless saddles told their tale of woe. Clothiers were seized with a ‘tight fit,” and bankers looked askance at anything in the shape of a cheque that was not gilt-edged. Curious stories of bogus telegrams concerning mythical remittances were afloat, and as the stories grew the claims grew, and are still growing. What the end may be no one at present can tell, put, while the matter is in abeyance, it will suffice to say that, having been consigned to the tender mercies of the Hotel-de- Harvie to avoid ** leg bail,” our hero re mains there to ruminate on ‘‘ what might have been,” while his creditors take what solace they can from the saying ‘‘a bird in hand is worth two in a bush.”
