Loss of the "Hibernia."

110W HIE l'.\~’8l-LSOFJ!S WEIRD-i Sivllll.

It will be renlcmlu-rcd that when the Mt‘ﬂlllSltlp " Hibernia.“ tunndcrcd at sea. Nov. 2:3. tint a single lite was lost during the ciillnilkatiun of the passengers and ereivtin tlte small boats. although a severe do was blowing and a had ten running at the time. This. I believe is the ﬁrst time \iln-n. under the same cumstxini-cs the saute feat has been salclv accomplish- ell. and nit-tits some illvcs ' '\lltlll into the can c thereof. it seems that some H2 passengers and crew were pill. into the five boats itithoutaccidcnt. cxceptn slight one to one ot'ihe lite-boats.

I find by the (ilasgoiv papers that this result was due to the "so of oil. lit-love the boats were. l‘iunehod. the ship being hove tn. (‘nptain Munro had a quantity

of oil thrown over the lcn sidu of the ship. 1

upon the water. iiitlt inc happiest result. as although the shell was not lessened. the waves were prevented trout breaking. thus rendering; it easy for the boats to he lannchcd, and. moreover. for them to lie alongside the sllip nltcl‘ been liltllit‘lll‘tl. while bcing lilleil with their compliment of people. One fci-ls safe in saying that had it not. been for the use of tliisoil some, if not every one of these boats. would have becnstavcd against the iron sides of the dooltled “ Hibernia."

It is a well known fact that in all cases ol‘lnnn iingboats in aheavy sea this is the chief danger. and generally a fatal one. Each of tho lliberuia‘s honts w. s also furnished with it supply of oil. to be used when running before the sea.

It is to be hoped tllat the use of oil in there cases will be more gent rally pracv tised. and that each vessel will may it; supply for use ill case of need. This is n‘ subject that merits tlte attention of llll shipmasters and owners—11x Rep.

ln returning to the question " Why should not female teachers be paid the same amount tll llltlll‘b l'" or. in other words. receive just remuneration for their labors. there are sevcv rnl objections to be Incl. It is ilruuctl by lltule uppnsel to it. that woman duel not possess the power to govern. which ll doubt- leu true. admitting that children are govern- ctl tlironuh fear. or by the red; but we do not admit any Inch doctrine. but reply that. teachers who govern through felti- cannot re~ who the respect and love of their pupils. Again. it is stated that they do not pout-n the same amount of intellectual capacity. but this mite-neat renmial to be proved. in lookin. over the Visitor's report, we do not see any- thing to corroborate lllll statement. Taken collectively. this schools under the ears of female! present as favorable an appearance as their relbren in the profits-ton. Follow- ing them to the Normsl school. In its not In

Then it is asked. "Why do not females rise in the profession?" Because they havw u - inducement. Let our legislators give them- tlic lame advantages that the males ban-aunt. pay them in proportion to their work. and it.V will then be shown that the island ladies are not inferior in intellect to those of the Pro- vinch or even the United States.

The only palpable objection that canho ad- vanced ill defence of this question is, that, men have to pay a greater unisnnt for thei - hoard tltan women; but this is trifling when. compared Vl'l'll the difference in the salary.. and if females spend their time and talents in. order to become teachers—if they pass the

saute examination. and graduate at the lame

school. alid are con idcred by the Board of Education competent to teach the youth of our Island, then they should be paid in the

same ratio as males. and unless this be done

our system of education will remain iniper-. l'cct.

But all teachers. both male and female. should be paid according to their eolltpctcncy to teach.

"MUNICIPAL Gamma.

ll.\\’l.\'(l given the public it little breathing time, we will new resume the subject of a former article under the head' in; “ what Satimerside wants." Aill'. here we would remark, that. the ﬁrst 0-.2'. most important want is a iietcrlninu am on the part of the inhabitants that .heir Ton-n Sili'll. as far as their individual and collective excitions can accomplish it. become the model Town of the island. Without public spirit manifested, not only by liberality in pecuniary matters. but by those who have influence iind weight in the community coming cheer- fully forward lllltl setting it good cxumplo in taking upon themselves the burthcn of executing ilie duties which a neiv order nf'things will render necessary, Summer- side will make biit little progress. lie- t'orc enumerating these duties, and the manner in which they are to be perforat- cd. let us endeavor to ascertain what are the advantages which men L eel. to en— joy iii a well regulated town or City.

Security of life. limb altd property. without iihicii there can be no permanent improvement. comfort or satisfaction. has nln uys taken the lead in the formation of mutticipal institutions. A police force, therefore, becomes an absolute necessity, and. with this either a stipendiary magis- trate or a board of magistrates undertak- ing the duties in rotation. That one per- son, who being paid for his services would be always at band in case of clncrgency,‘ and who would make the duties of his station his constant study. would be more ellicient than any number uf unpaid oili- ciuls. there can be no doubt—tho only question in the expense. And this tie- ccssarily leads to the manner ilt which the requisite funds for thcprumpt admin- istration of the law and for sanitary and other purposes are to be raised. This power must be lodged somewhere. In. it Mayor and Common Council. or how else? That eventually it will be ncccl- sury to give to Suntmcrside the power of creatinga municipality with the requi- site olliccrs of Mayor, Recorder. the” there can be little doubt; biit is it pre- pared at the present time to encounter the necessary outlay? We rather doubt it. If. however, those interested iii the present and future prosperity ofthis toivn will lake the matter in hum] with, a do- ‘cll‘tlnﬂiiun 0i usCOl‘llllng not only the Inlungncss of tho community to provide the necessary funds. but also of finding, olit the most economical method ol'cnrl-y- ing the desired improvements into effect. it great point will have been gained. For this purpose we would suggest that a re- quisitiun to the senior Magistrate. Harry C. Green, limp. to call it public meeting of the frecholders. householders nnd loti- gcrs. of Suniltierside, for the purpose of taking into celtsidcriition the best Ind: most. effectual means of advancing the prosperity and good government of the town. should be signed by the lending inhabitants and presented. When the meeting is converted. the qucs‘ion as to whether a Municipal Government shall he adopted or not. may be freely dil- cussctl. lf determined in the Iliir~ mative. ii committee should be appoint- ed for the purpose of settling the details of the kind of municipality tbst may have been determined on, and having them cmbodyed in I Bill to be submitted to the Legislature.

We would suggest to those who may be inclined to adopt the plan proposed. to carefully comider whether some less expensive machinery than a Mayor. Coni- mon Council, 6w. might not be adopted. A certain number of persons. lay six or eight. might be elected by tho freehold- en, householders and lodgers. who. with a chairman. might be styled Trustees or flatulence-cit is little matter what the name—and upon whom would devolve the duty of Appointing. in the first place.
