Aw Entertainment will be given under the auspices of St. Patrick’s Total Abstinence Society, in St. Patrick’s Hall, to-morrow (Wednesday) evening.

Dr. O’Brien will deliver an adiclress, which will, in itself, be a pleasing feature of the entertainment.
We understand that the people of Belle Creek are petitioning the Dominion Govern- ment for a grant of money to complete a break- water which has been begun at the mouth of the Belle Creek River. The Argus says: from all that we can learn, we believe that such a work would prove of incalculable benefit to the people in that much neglected section of the country. The prospects of making this place an excellent shipping port by means of a breakwater. are good We would, therefore, recommen that the matter receive the care- ful attention of the Government. Everyone knows that the people of this section of the country are badly in need of a good place for the shipment of produce, and if two or three thousand dollars will accomplish the object desired, it will be well and judiciously expended.
AN addition is being built to the Railway Wharf at Summerside. A block of timber and brushwork 630 feet long and 12 feet wide, is being built along the east side of the wharf. A foundation of brush will first be laid and the superstructure of timber built upon this. A space of five feet is left between the side of the wharf and the new piece of work. This space will be planked over, and the
harf thus made some seventeen feet wider ne formerly. The addition will also be ex- teaded around the outer end-of the wharf. The Progress says these repairs have been rendered necessary in order to prevent the eating away of the timbers of the whart by worms, which has been done to such an extent that the wharf is constantly sinking. Quite a number of men and horses are engaged in hauling brush, and this work will furnish em- ploymert to a number of laborirg men.

Notes by a Traveller.
Diptheria is still the unbidden guest of some of the Hreadalbaners. It has proved fatal to twelve in that vicinity.
The popular and obliging Conductor, D. McDonald, was warmly greeted along the Railroad to-day by friends at every station, on the happy occasicn of his marriage. He has carried out Greeley’s adyice by going ‘‘ west.” The locomotive and first-class car were taste- fully decorated with joyous flags. We sia- cerely wish Mr. McDonald and his fair part- ener a long life of unbroken pleasure. As a conductor on our Railroad, he bears an excel- lent name as being a good officer and always ready to oblige and assist the travelling pub-

The people are anxious to know if the ‘‘Fish- ery Award” money has come down yet, as we notice a big interest is being put forth by some of our newspaper men in Charlottetown. It is a pity they cannot have it now, a8 money 1s a ‘kind o’ tight” on the Island. You had better order 1t down, as we fear the other editors can’t fetch it in time for immediate wants. It is now very strongly hinted that the much needed branch railroad from Cape Traverse to County Line Station will be con- structed with a portion of the fishery money. A portion couldn't be better expended. The distance distance is Qonly eleven miles through a level country. This news has the right ring in it.

On the 19th of February a fall dress bal! vill be given at Ridean Hall. It is not ikely that a fancy dress ball will be given this season, Their Excellencies and suite left to-day on a trip to Niagara Falls, which are ex- ceedingly |} eautiful at present. They de- sire to go quietly out and to avoid any dem- onstration along the route. This morning the Governor General ad- ministered the oath of office to Chief Jus- tice Ritchie in the Council Chamber. A writ for a new election in Charlevoix has been issued ; nomination on the 6th of February. The candidates will be Messrs. Cimon and Pelletier. To-day the South Ontario election peti- tion was dismissed with costs. The Liberal member, Mr. Glen, therefore retains his seat.

A despatch dated Candahar, Jan. 10, says that Major St. John, of the British army, was fired upon in the streets of that town by a fanatical native, but not mur- dered. The man was arrested. ‘ A Lieutenant of the Royal Artillery was severely wounded and two other persons
were slightly stabbed by a religious zealot, who will be hanged to-morrow. EpinsurGH, Jan. 20.
The trial of the directors of the City of Glasgow Bank began to-day in the High Court of Justiciary before Lord Justice Clerkaff and Lord Moncrieff, assisted by Lord Commissioners Muir and Craighill. The prisoners are charged with fraud, theft and embezzlement.
Executions.
There has been in the papers recently a surfeit of accounts of hanging. The New Year has been inaugurated by a series of those judicial executions which show our connection with the past, and which de- monstrate that modern civilization has not yet fully asserted itself over past preju- dices and past beliefs. Within a week there have been executions at Quebec, St. Andrews, at Camden, in New Jersey, and at that fearful slaughter-house of human ity Mauch-Chunk, Philadelphia. Perhaps it is necessary that men should be hung. But, certainly the punishment does not seem to prevent crime. Side by side with the des- criptions of the executions have been pub- lished accounts of that dreadful double crime at Norwich, Cono., in which both a man aud & woman appear to have been deprived of life to enable the participants in a guilty passion to escape from all restraint. In New Bruns- wi:k within the past few years we have had a o>ideal of hanging, and pet the crime for which itis the penalty seems to be on the in- -rease. We do not propose to enter upon the discussion whether or not hanging sh.ull be abolished. It is worth while, however, to point out that hanging does not prevent murder. The community is shocked with accounts of sume dread- ful murder. It is still more shocked by the account of some dreadful execution. It might be very difficult to show that the abolition of the death penalty would decrease crime; but certainly humanity is neither elevated nor improved by ac- counts of such dreadful spectacles as have followed each other in rapid sxecession, al- most before the close of that holiday seasen which renews the promise of peace on earth,
good will to men.—St. John Glode.

Why Will You
Allow a cold to advance in your system and thus encourage more serious maladies, such as Pneumonia, Hemorrhages and Lung troubles, when an immediate relief can be so readily attained. Boschee’s German Syrup has gained the largest sale in the world for the cure of Coughs, Colds and the severest Lung Diseases. It is Dr. Boschee’s fameus German prescription, and is pre- pared with the greatest care, and no fear need be entertained in administering it to the youngest child, as per directions. The sale of this medicine is unprecedented. Since first introduced there has been a con- stant increasing demand and without a single report of a failure to do its work in any case. Ask your drugyist as to the truth of these remarks. Large size 75 cents. ‘Try it and be convinced.
