Reply to ‘ Shellfish.”

Srr,— I notice a scribbler has eppeared in Tue Examiner of the 4th inst., signing himself **Shellfish.” It is the right jname forhim. There is neither sense nor argu- ment in any thing he has written. For in- stance, ‘‘Shellfish” says: ‘‘Suppose for the sake of argument that the Government siw fit to close up all the tailors in Summer- side for three years in order to efford the sheep an opportunity to grow more and better wool.” Lregret that “Shellfish” is so ignorant of sheep culture. Every one of common sense knows that sheep require to be shorn every spring, and if not, the wool will get very coarse and be a total loss if notshorn, “Shellfish,” you know, has no brains, and I would certainly advise him to keep as close to the shore as possible, for if he gets in deep water he will be sure to drowned or be gobbled up by a big lobster. He advises me to stick to my goose, If Andy Johnson had stuck to his goose he would not have been President of the great American Repubiic. Nor would ‘‘Stone- wall” Jackson been a great warrior, nor Lincoln a great statesman. Had Grant stuck to tanning his fame asa great General,and as a President would not have been known to the world. If the Hon. Alexander Me- Kenzie hed stuck to his tradeas a mason, thia great “‘Canada of ours” would have lost a great statesman aud reformer. But “Shellfish” sheuld have lived in the dark ages for his remarks to be appreciated. I wonid ‘advise “‘Shellfish’’ to hide himeelf under a gmail stone, near the shore, in order that he may be with congenial small fry. If ‘*Shelifish” will come out under bis own name and answer my first letter, I will then give him ‘*Tally Ho,” as my friend Brazil says, besides all the informa- tion required.

The young men of this section have been occupied for some time past in train- ing their horses for the Montaguo races, in which Mr, J. E. Buchanan’s Don Juan mare won laurels from all comers. J. 5. Poole’s Blackfoot stallion mainiained

The carnival in Georgetown ‘ occupied the attention of the junevile portion of the community, and profound regret was expressed when the weather proved un. favorable. We understand the carnival is to be repeated through the kindness of the managers, Messrs. E. Stewart and W. S. Easton. We wish them success in their undertaking.

The splendid skating during the past mouth, has afforded the young people a fund of healthful exorcise and pastime. Too many overlook the benefits derived from skating, when induiged in modera-

tion.

The scholars in this district are pro- gressing rapidly, under the very able management of Mr. W. A. Judson and

his energetic assistant, Miss Florrie Mc Phail. They manifest interest in attending to the respective duties devolving upon them. Our school saccommodation have been greatly increased by the addition of a@ spacious classroom, built to the north end of the old building. Thia showa the interest taken in school! affairs.

A beautiful Hall, finished and furnished by the Orangemen of this section, occupies the upper portion of the building.

A short time ago some of the young folks, armed with baskets laden with all kinds of good things, proceeded to the house of one of the neighbors with the in- tention of having an evening's amusement. The musfe was rendered by R. R. Jenkins, our genial Georgetown friend, who, with the violin, discoursed such sweet music that the young folk, finding it so eutrancing ‘* tripped the light fantastic toe’ until the ‘wee sma’ hours” put anend to the mer- riment. Thanking the host and hostess for their kindness, and well pleased with the enjoyable time spent, they quietly dis- persed afier singing “ Auld Lang Syne.’

Some persons who were present acted as reporters, and aided by professional! friends and vivid imaginations, have been exer- cising their poetical talents in a way that clearly expresses their ingratitude f.r kind- ness extended them.

We understand there is a counter poeti- eal production, which no doubt will be set music, as we aro informed a singing school teacher has taken a prominent part in the Shel'ey production.

A verse of one of Burns’ poems gives a clear description of the leading character who composed the doggerel effasion :—

to

Great is thy power and great thy fame,

Far kind and noted is thy name;

Aw’ though yon brown house's thy hame Thou travels.

An’ faith ! thou’s neither lag nor lame Nor blate nor scaur.

Mr. Arbuckle, Inspector of Schools for Prince County, examined the above school on Friday last, 6th inst. There was quite a large number of the ladies and gentlemen of the district present, who manifested a very lively*interest in the proceedings. The junior department, under the tuition of Miss Hall, was first examined. The pupils in the different classes acquitted themselves well and showed thorough drill in the branches taught. In the examina- tion of the advanced depariment, taught by Mr. Fraser, the Inspector was assisted by Mr. West, of the Centreville Grammar School The higher branches, as Latin, Algebra, Geometry, &c., were taken up by Mr. Arbuckle, whilst Mr. West conducted

in the junior grade, the scholars here re- flected credit upon their teacher by their prompt replies to the questions submitted to them. It may be here remarked that Mr. Arbuckle thoroughly understands his business as Inspector, and epends the neces- gary time with each class to satisfy him- self of its standing. At the close of the examination, complimentary remarks werg made by the Inspector, followed by Mr. West and Alexander Laird, Esq., who, by the way, is one of the trustees.

—i>- <> Publicity of Marriages.

The Albany Law Journal cites a remark that fell from the lips of Judge Deady, ina giving his opinion in the famous Sharon- Hill divoree suit, recently decided by the Cireuit Court of the United S'ates. The Judge observed that he could not “ refrain from saying, in conclusion, that a commu- nity which allows the origia and inteyrity of the family— the corner-s!oue of society — to rest on no surer or better foundation than a union oi tiie sex-s, evidenced only by a secret writing, and unaccompanied by any public recognition of each other as hus- band and wife, or the assumption of marital rights, duties and obligations, except fur- tive intercourse, more befitting a brothel than otherwise, ought to remove the cross from its banner and symbols, and replace it with the crescent.’

This was said with reference to ceriain letters, purporting, on their face, to have been addressed by Mr. Sharon to Miss Hill, in which he spoke toand of her as his ‘‘wife,” and on which she mainly relied as proof of the marriage ehe alleged. Both Judge Sawyer and Judge Deady, who held the court, were of the opinion that these leitera were forgeries, and hence en- titled to no consideration, They were ac- companied by no adequate collateral evi- dence, tending to show what was sought to be established by them. The conduct of the parties toward each other, as known to the general public, had not been such as ordinarily marks the marital relation. The marriage, if it ever tock place, had not been publicly solemnized in any way, but was wholly a secret affair between the par- ties themselves.

What Judge Deady says in regard to this case implies that, in his opinion, mar- riage should, at the time of its occurrrence, have some formal and public recognition and solemnization by which it shall be known beyond all dispute, and that the Jaw should so ordain and provide. We thor- oughly believe in this doctrine. It is true that marriage, regarded simp!y asa legal institution, is a civil contract, in which the parties, by mutual consent expressed to each other, agree to take each other and live together as husband and wife, with all the reeiprocal rights and obligations in- volved therein. It is, however, different from all other civil contracts, in that it is the basis of the family ; and in that, as Judge Deady justly remarks, is ‘* the corner-stone of society.’’ For this reason the law, in all civilized and Christian coun- tries, supplies special regulations applicable to this contract, and that, too, in the inter- esta of the family and of society at large,

_—-—___ ——ail>-<<> > ~<a Outrage on Board a Man-of-Wer.

Letters from the Pacific station contain particulars of a serious sta’e of things ex- isting ow board the Pelican, Commander Richard W. Hope, which was commissioned at Devonport in April, 1884, and is now at Vancouver Island. The relations between the officers and men are of ench a character that already no less than 40 of the crew have deserted from the ship, and it is ex- pected that others will follow. A short time since, while the master-at-arms was discharging his duties below, a large shot, weighing 30 lbs., was deliberately thrown down upon him from the lower deck. The shot struck him with such force that he was dangerously wounded. The surgeon of the ship ordered his immediate removal to the hospital, where he will be confined for some time, and it is feared that he will have to be invalided home. Although the Pelican has been only two years on the Pacific station, she will shortly be relieved by another veasel from England.

Tho receipts siuce the last meeting @re announced to be $30,600. Davitt denied that outrages were now of frequent occur- rence in Ireland. If any were committed the League was not responsible for them. He charged the enemies of homs rule with conspiring to injure the League, and de- clared that the so-called outrages were mere inventicas of their malice. He urged that arecord of evictions be published weekly.

Canada’s Mining Interests.

A delegation of twenty members, repre- senting mining constitutencies, waited on the Minister of the Interior, on the 4th inst., urging the collection of wining statistics, as frequent complaints reached them from persons in other countries, de- siring to know about the mineral wealth, The deputation did not spare Dr. Selwyn, the head of the geological survey, thinking he and his staff should be able to supply the information wanted. While promised to give the subject his fullest consideration, but pointed out that matters of such kind belonged to local governments.
