— The Deputy Minister of Agriculture states that the report that Canadian cattle had arrived in England suffering trom pluro-pneumonia 13 unfounded, and that the report arose from the fact that one cow imported from Canada, contracted the dis- ease in a stable m England after arrival. There is no pleuro-pneumonia in Canada.
It is a well-remembered fact that our than when the Province, and were
roads were never worse
Grits were in office in this pimps and spies and tax-gatherers scouring the country at the public ex- pense. Yet when THe EXAMINER and its wide awake correspondents call attention to the good roads (and no taxes) of the present d iy, the Patriot has the audacity to accuse them of *‘ Tory Presumption.” The Patriot's impudence is unf athomabie.
The total paid-up capital of the char- tered banks of the Dominion at the end of September was 8$60,186,243.43; total am- ount of people's deposits, $124,766,764; total liabililies, $177.316,996.20; loans on stock, bonds and debentures, $14,020,250; loans
1 —) to municipal and other corporations, $24,- 667,832.38: current loans and discownts to the public, $149, 154,645.24. Total assets, $258.483.037.53; assets over liabilities, €81.166,041 33; total directors’ liabilities, $8,524,399.72.
The Canada Gazette reports the adop- tion of a revised freight tariff for the P. E Island Railway. The changes are numer- ous—some of them radical, and, on the whole, we believe, in the public interest We are glad to note that the railway authorities have taken into consideration ‘he conditions peculiar to this Province It is hoped that the revision will be mutu- ally beneficial to business men and the country at large. The new tariff will not be in operation for some time to come.
~The Patriot ** quite forgot” to record the triumph of the Conservatives in Riche- lie: County, until after Tae Examiner had
called attention to its omission,—then it
stated the thing which was not. Compare the following statements Toronto Globe, Oct. 22. Patriot, Oct 23.

The Patriot's statement is undoubtedly in accord with the principles of the Standard Elevators—it lacks the essential element.
We learn that the Exhibition and Driving Park Association have sold their land outside the Park fence to A. B. Warburton, Esq., for the sum of $6,000. We hoped that this land would have been held for the mutual benefit of the Associa- tion and the Eastern part of the town;— that, as the residents of the West End have Victoria Park as a place of resort in their hours of leisure, so the residents of the East End would have within easy reach, the great advantages of a health- ful place of amusement and recreation, and that the publicity aud attractions of the place would be made to inure to the profit of the Association. The land is beautifully situated, and could be made specially at- tractive at small expense, which might be recouped either directly by the citizens or in the form of rents and charges. An Eastern Park and Sea Shore Promenade, with bathing houses, flower gardens, ete., would be a valuable acy Ulsi- tion for all concerned ; and we trust that Mr. Warburton will not dispose of the land referred to until an opportunity has been afforded to devote the property to that purpose.

Mrs. E. J. Hodgsen’s Will.
she will of Mrs. Edward J. Hodgson was registered in Judge Young's Court to-day on the oath of Charles E. McKinnon, one of the witnesses thereto. The document is quite a lengthy one, and bears date the twenty-first of September, 1888, and re- vokes all former wills. A representative of the Patriot to-day examined it and made the following extracts. The bequests are as follows:
ist. —$500 to Mrs. Frederick Mitchell, the niece of Mrs. Hodgson
2nd.—$500 to her brother, Mr. Brecken
3rd.—$500 to Ralph William Brecken, ano- ther brother.
4th.—381,000 to the trustees of St. Peter's Church, upon trust to pay the interest towards sech purposes in connection with the church as the Priest Incumbent for the time being shall from time to time in writing direct.
Sth.—A bequest of $50 tor the benefit of the aged or sick poor, being members of St. Peter's Church.
6th. —The sum of $500 te the Priest Incum- bent of St. Peter's, “hurch to be expended towar st e .dornment of that editice or in it- repairs iu «i3 absolute discretion.
7th —The remainder of hr estate goes to her husband, Edward Jarvis Hodgson, tor his life, and after his death to and for such uses and purposes in connection with St. Peter's Church,fas he shall by his will appoint, and in default of his will, thea to the same uses and purposes as regards the $1,000.
The words *‘ uses and purposes” are to re- ceive the most liberal interpretation, and for
greater certainty, buf not so as to restrict their generality, the expression shall include all work by way of enlargement or repairing or rebuilding, or any aunex or for any school or schools, or for any sisterhood in connection with the church.
The trustees under Mrs. Hodgson’s will are her brother, Frederick de St. Croix Brecken, aad her husband, Edward J. Ho 'g-on,
There is nuh ng in the document to show
what the estate is worth. Our reporter made eayuirles a8 to its value but received no satis-

| ‘This is the age of strikes, but the most | extraordinary strike of allis that of the school boys of certain Scotch towns. Their programme is no cane and no home les- sons, short hours and better teachers, to which, in some cases, is added, probably rather by the parents than by the boys no fees. And schoolboy like, they are also striking for free meals. The School Board, it is said, have no funds with which to sup- ply the latter demand, but a judicious ap- plication of the cane would, very probably,
thoroughly meet all the others. = @
A very good story is told of an Eastern visitor who was taken to see a cricket match. He evinced the keenest interest in the game ; but, as can be easily under- stood, he preferred slogging to finished cricket, and he paid a great deal of atten- tion to the umpires, whom he regarded as personages of power and position in the national sport. Lt transpired that he as- sumed the umpires to be chieftians and the players to be their serfs, and he was great- ly disappointed on discovering that the urapires were merely hirelings, and that the greater persons were the men who worked
so hard in the field. * +
Spiders are the most murderous animals in creation. They have nets and traps, caves, fangs, hooks and poison-bags—all the paraphernalia, in fact, of robbers and wssassins When a spider attacks a hapless fly, he plunges his two horried flangs down into it, pouring out his poison into the wound, whereby he soon kills his miser- able victim. That this poison is a powerful acid is proved by its power of turning lit- mas-paper red ,for a considerable distance round the place struck. The fangs shut up like the blade of a knife into its case when not used or required, and open and erect themselves when the creature is savage and wantsto usethem. His eight eyes are like globes of polished diamond, and curiously follow the necessities of his situation. When the creaturelives at the end ot long tubes or underground,they are cluster- ec forward on his forehead, for then he not only wants to look straight before him, but t. look before him intently ; when he lives iv. the centre of an open web they are more divergent still, and set in slight prominen- ces so as to have a freer axis ; and when he is of the wandering tribe, they are scatter- ed so that he can see every way and all around at once. The nocturnal species have no ark pigment like the rest, but have, instead, a curtain which zeflects a brilliant metallic lustre, so that their eyes shine like cat’s eyes inthe dark. Spiders’ webs are made of two kinds of silk; the one forming the cables and radii, simple and innocuous, the other fe rmjng the concentric or special threads, closely studded with minute globules of fluid like small drops of dew. These globules are in- tensely viscid, and by them alone is retained the fly, and even the bee, the gnat, and the pretcy little moth. A fat old spider, bask- ing half asleep in the middle of his treach- erous net, yet never so asleep as not to be on the alert if but the wind shakes its moor- ings too roughly, is more like ene of Bun- yan’s giants than anything else; he is the tyrant of the garden, the butcher, the as- sassin, the oppressor of the weak, the wily circumventor of the strong. He gives no quarter and deserves none, for after he has gorged himselt with the fat of his thousands he haply falls a preyto some tyrant over him, and so the whele circle is complete, ftom the centre to the circumference.

In 1872 Dr. Bell had a private school for deaf mutes in Boston. Among his pupils was Howard Giyndon, who is_ well-known in American literary cirles. One day, while this lady was walking, she noticed that whenever street cars were passing, and the muff in which her hands were plac- ed was pressed againgst her body; she ev- inced peculiar vibrations, On informing Dr. Bell of her sensations, he proceeded to construct what he called a sound-box, hav- ing drum shaped heads, which was to be worn in tront, under the clothing. Dr. Bell experimented with sound-boxes until ie struck upon a new idea. The idea ex- cited him very much, caused him to work all night, and at length resulted in the tele- phone. Dr. Bell now needed capital to push his idea. He was poor, having no- thing but his salary as teacher. The way cho Beil telephone became a_ suc- ces was due to causes wholly outside of its own merit. Gardiner Green Hubbard of Cambridge, Mass., had a deaf-mute daughter at school in Germany. Becoming dissatisfied with her progress, he had her home, and employed Dr. Bell to teach her. Ihe young lady was very lovable, and Dr. Bell soon discovered that the feeling he had tor her was very different from the ordi- uary feeling existing between teacher and pupil. He felt compelied ty hopor to re- sign his position, which hedid. But the mischief was done. The affection was mutual, At first the young lady’s parents opposed the union, but when they found their daughter’s happiness at stake they gracefully surrendered. Dr. Bell had won « charming wife, and obtamed as a father- in-law a wealthy business man. Gardiner Hubbard had every inducement to push the telephone. From this time it was a success.

Respecting symbols, Carlyle thus writes : ‘* In asymbol there is concealment and yet revelation; here, therefore, by silence and by speech acting together, comes a double significance. And if both the speech be it- self high, and the silence fit and noble, how expressive will their union be? Thus in many & painted device or simple seal em- blem the commonest truth stands out to us, proclaimed with quite new emphasis. It ig in and through symbols that man conscious- ly or unconsciously lives, «orks and has ns being, those ages, moreover, are ac- counted the noblest which can the best re-
9 a
highest. For isnotja symbolever,to him who has eyes for it, some dimmer or clearer re- velation of the Godlike? Highest of all symbols are those wherein the artist or poet has risen into prophet, and all men can re- cognize a present God, and worship the same; I mean religious Symbols. Vari- ous enough have been such religious Symbols what we call Religiohs; as men stood in this stage of culture or theother, and could worse or, better body-forth the Godhke; some symbols with a transient intrinsic worth ; many with only an extrinsic. If thou ask to what height man has carried it in this manner, look on our divinest symbol ; on Jesus of Nazareth and his life, and his bio- graphy and what followed therefrom. Higher has the human thought not yet reached ; this is Christianity and Christen- dom ; a symbol of quite perennial infinite character; whose significance wil] ever de- mand to be anew enquired into, and anew made manifest.”’
Marriage Bells.
St. Paul’s Church was, this morning, the scene of a fashionable wedding. The prin- cipals were Mr. A B. Warburton, a well- known and popular member of the legal fraternity, and Miss Isabella C., daughter of the late Hon. John Longworth. The bridesmaids were Misses Pen. Longworth and Daisy Hobkirk. Mr. Fred Green, of Summerside, was the groomsman. The ceremony was performed by the Venerable Archdeacon S. Weston-Jones, in the pre- sence of a large number of invited guests. The bride was given away by her brother, Mr. Brenton F. Longworth. Both bride and bridesmaids wore very becoming t*a-
velling suits. Mr. H. A. Tanton pre- sided at the organ. After the cere- mony, Mr. and Mrs Warburton,
amidst showers of congratulations and good wishes in which Tae EXAMINER heartily joins, took passage in the St. Lawrence for Pictou, en route to Halifax, where they will take the steamer for Eng- land. They will be absent about three months.
Mr. Herbert McGregor, of Lea’s Planing Mills, Moncton (formerly of Charlottetown) was married on the 22nd to Miss Cassie Duffy, of that place. The ceremony was performed at the bride’s residence by Rey. W. B. Hinson, in the presence of about thirty guests. Mr. and Mrs. McGregor were the recipients of numerous presents, among the articles being a useful article of furniture from the employees of the mill, by whom Mr. McGregor is held in high esteem.
