Tue TemPerRaNce Dramatic ENTERTAIN- went, which took place last evening in the Raform. Club Hall, passed off favorably. Notwithstanding a great lack of scenery, the different characters were pretty well sustained. We were agreeably disappointed with the inanner in which our young coun- try friends acquitted themselves. The drama will be reproduced this evening, for the benefit of the Reform Ciub.

Sr. Pace’s Cavron Bazaar was opened im. the Market Hall to-day. The tables are bountifully supplied with one of the finest assortment of faney and useful goods ever displayed in the city, and the refreshments are in the hands of an eflicient committee who will bestow the greatest hospitality on those who give them liberal patronage. The attendance this aftetnoon is large, and dales are very brisk. Don’t fail to attend.

THE annual meeting gf the Phcenix Cricket Club of thiscity was held last even ing, and the following officers were elecied for the ensuing year :—George McLeod, Esq., President; F. 8. Longworth, Esq., Vice-President ; Frederick Mitchell, Esq., Secretary and Treasurer; Messrs. Neil Me- Leod, W.C. Hobkirk, and 8. D. Fitzgerald, Committee of management. Wednes- days and Saturdays were appointed for regular practice. The first match will be played on the 24th of May.

A CORRESPONDENT from Souris complains of the manner in which the contractor of the Souris Court House is neglecting to perform that work. He says ‘“‘he com- menced the cellar last fall, and, according to contract, should’ have completed the building in January ; but all that he done was to dig the cellar‘and wall it. The wall is now falling in, and .he is only repairing it in places. The whole cellar wall should be taken.” If, this is the case, we recom-| med the immediate and earnest attention of the Government to the matter.

OvprELLows’ HyrerTarsmEnt— We would direct special attention to the advertisement of the Oddfellows’ Natal Day Entertain- ment, which will come off on Friday even- ing next. Judging by the programme, we should say it promises to be the best of the season. We notice that the Charlottetown Orchestral Club are to perform, and would advise all who wish a rich musical treat to go and hear them. Our friend Herr Her- mans, with his grand bass solo, and Mr. Hill, who not long ago so well pleased a Charlottetown audience with his reading, até to take part. Lovers of fun will also have a chance to grow fat, as the coiic ele- ment is well represented. Last, but by no means least, the contestants for the cham- pionship of Summerside, Messrs. Muncey} and McSween, are to sing on the occasion.

‘“Eventnes mv tHe Liprary.”—The news- papers all over the Lower Provinces are unani- mous in the praise of the book named above. The St. John Daily News, in its notice of a re- markable lecture delivered in Portland by R. F, Quigly, Esq., L.L. B., refers to the flatter- ig manner in which the lecturer alluded to Mr. George Stewart, jr., its author :—

“The presence in the audience to-night of one gyho recognized this truth” (an adverse criticism on some of Whittier’s poems(, ‘‘and gave it an expression, so publicly and perman- ently recorded, demands from me a hearty de- claration of appreciation. I refer to Mr. Geo. Stewart, jr.—our own author, New Bruns- ack author par excellence. * * * The debt of gratitude we owe to the author of the ‘Evenings in the Library,’ Mr. Stewart, isthat he in-that book kas indited a protest against the acceptance of these poems as a criterion of the nobility and grandeur of Whittier’s poetic character.” *' * * Yn this he shows hisown poetic inspiration, ‘that his eye glances fro earth to Heaven—that the intmite is his home.’”"""* ,

' And the St. John Weekly Herald says :—

“We regret to learn that Mr. Stewart is about leaving his native city to take up his residence in Toronto, as editor of the Belyord’s

Paris journals state that invitations to a Congress to examine changes necessary in existing treaties have béen semi-oflicially communicated to several Powers. All ex- cept England deciared their readiness to accept the invitation. England still insists on the conditions that all great changes in the East, suchas those proposed by the Treaty of San Stefano, shall be treated as European, and not merely as Tarko-Russian questions. Lowxpon, April 23.

The Duily News leading article says that thé policy of the British is becoming a mat- ter of growing importance. Referring to the present military preparations, it says : ‘* They may be mere precautions ; but there is not one of them which does not mark our progress to a state of war. They are so understood abroad, and every one of them increases the difliculty of maintaining peace. It is exceedingly doubtful whether the full purport of some of those so-called precautions is yet realized.

**The most important of ail—the despatch of native treops from India—has_ been passed over with very little remark, al- thongh the measure marks a_ revolu- tion in our Indian Military policy. Of its effects on India there will be only too many oceasions of speaking. ‘The Indian Government was wise to gag the vernacular press before calling the natives of India to the aid of a nation which holds their coun- try by right of conquest.”
