Hon. Mr. Strong said that when the railway was inaugurated, four or five aeres of land were purchased in Summer- side fora depot. Sabsequently the route was changed aud the field still remained unoceupied. There had been a public square in Summerside, but it had been been taken for county purposes. He hop- ed that when the bill would come before the House it would be favorably consider- ed.

Hon. Mr. Strong also laid before the House a copy of correspondence between the Minister of Justice and the Attorney General respecting the extension of crimi- nal law of the Dominion to this Island. Also a return from the Registry Office, showing the number of Deeds untranscrib- ed, the number of months in arrears, Xe. The number of Deeds untranscribed was 648, and the mouths in arrears 44

INDEPENDENCE OF PARLIAMENT.

A bill for further securing the indepen- dence of the General Assembly was again referred to committee—Hon. Mr. Reid in the chair.

Hon, Mr. Strong moved that the Coun- cil do not adhere to their suggestions. He had considered the suggestion reasonable, but the House of Assembly thought they went too far and had disagreed to them.

Hon. Mr. Laird, though in favour of the suggestions, did not consider them of such importance as to imperil the passing of the bill.

Hon. Mr. Balderston considered the amendment they had suggested very necessary, and did not see that they could lead to any inconvenience except it would be tothose who wish to practice dis— honesty. It was surely more dishonor- able for a lawmaker to break the laws than to become insolvent through misfortune.

Hon. the President regretted that the House of Assembly had not agreed to the suggestions. It was the duty of this House to endeavor to amend bills which they did not consider perfect,

The motion passed in the affirmative, and the bill was reported for committee agreed to, It was then read the third time and passed.

WHARFS AND BRIDGES.

Hon. Mr. Strong laid before the House a returo of wharfiagers for the year end- iag March 31st, 1876—showing the num- ber of wharfs and bridges let by tender, the number for which wharfingers had been appointed, the number and location ot drawbridges, Xe.

Hon. Mr. Dodd, on moving for the second reading of a bill relating to certain pasture lots, suid the object was simply to enable the trustees of the late hon, G. Coles vive a valid title of certain lots exchanged with the late Martin Dogherty. was passed through committee withoat amendment.

WHARFS AND BRIDGES. A bill relating to wharfs and bridges again referred to committee, and Hon. Mr. Laird moved that a suggestion, tormerly adopted, be reconsidered with a view of amending it so as to require the master ef a vessel to furnish the vessel's crew, instead of two men, to open a draw- bridge. The motion passed in the affirma- tive.

Hion. Mr. Balderston said that if on account of a drawbridge out of repair, more than the vessel's crew were required to open it, the Government should bear the expense.

Hon. Mr. Richards did not see why a distinetion should be made between new vessels and tradivg vessels with regard to pwssing through bridges. They should be placed upou the same footing.

lion. Mr. Strong said those who held the view that the Government had no right to interfere with the navigation of a river were not consistent. A man build- ing a vessel above a bridge had as much right to a free passage down, as these be- low the bridge had to go up. In one sense he had a right ; and when it was found that a railway bridge was to be built across the East River a man immediately laid down the kee! of a vessel, and the consequence was that the Government were put to immense expense to provide a way for herfto pass through. The financial aspect of the question must be considered. ludependent members could afford to be very liberal, but the Government should see that there was no unnecessary ex~ penditure, and that no legitimate means of obtaining revenue was neglected. The promoters of the bill had that in view. The bridges had all being built at the re~ quest of the people, for the benefit of those in the immedtate neighborhood of them, and at public expense. The people above the bridges, as well as below, had the benefit of them, and why should they demand free navigation for vessels ? Ile would not oppose the proposed amend- ment of the suggestion.

Hon. Mr. Laird said that independent members were the proper guardians of the public interests, and should not be charge- ed with recklessness, It was their duty to see that there was no class legislation, and the bill was proposing to tax a certain class. The prior right to the navigation of « river was held by the crown for the people, and the right to build a bridge across a river was a secondary right. He would be the last to oppose any legitimate means of raising a revenue. The Goy- ernment built bridges, and gave the people the free use of them, and why should those who had the prior right be taxed ? Was that a legitimate and honest way of raising a revenue? No! it was class legislation worst type,

Hon. Mr, Strong said the fact that the bridges were free was an argument in favor of the bill. If the Government were to charge a fee for passing over a bridge, they could afford to be liberal to those who pass through it, and could better af. ford to keep persons te open it. Trading vessels going up the river were for the benefit of farmers for whose use the bridges were built.

Hon. Mr. Dodd did not see so much objection to requiring masters of vessels to pay a small fee, but men should not be required to work and pay also. It was an objectionable way ot raising a revenue.

was

Pub- |

| | ITon Mr. Bolger did not see why al master of a vessel should not pay some | tax as well as a poor farmer. Hon. Mr. Baiderston said the ship-

owner would caleulate his expense and it | would all come off the farmer. In many eases the people above the bridges did not apply for their construction and now they were to be taxed for the benefit of those below.

Hon. Mr. Strong was of opinion that his honor who spoke last had some par- ticular little bridge, where he had a few friends upon his mind. He (Mr. 8.) had no particular interest in those bridges. If the Government bad to find men to open those drawbridges the expense to the Gov~ ernment would probably be very consider- able, for men were generally fond of charging exorbitant prices for anything | | done for the government. | Hon. Mr. BaNerston said there were | three or four drawbridges in his district ; | land as for his friends many of them | | were neglected. As to the propose d

bridge across the North River many were | opposed to it on the ground that it would | impede navigation, and if this bill were | to pass in its original shape, they would | | have great cause to complain, Ie was | contending for principle.

Hon. Mr. Munn would repel the in-| sinuation that those who opposed certain | provisions of the bill were taking a very | narrow view of the question. If it would |

| be difficult for the Government to get |

inen without large expense, how would | a shipmaster get them in case of a draw- bridge was out of repair and a number were required ? If more than the vessel’s crew were required, the Government should fiod them.

The House was resumed and further progress was reported,

STOCK FARM.

Hon. Mr. Strong presented to the House the annual report of the Commis- sioners of the Government Stock Farm, for the year ending 3lst March, 1876.

Hon. Mr. Munn, according to notice, asked the Leader of the Government if he would lay upon the table an account of the different items for which the Rail- way Commissioners paid $32,380.60 during the past year.

Hon. Mr. Strong had not observed the notice. The original vouchers were be- fore the House of Assembly and a copy could be produced if required.

Adjourned until Monday next.

Tuesday, April 18th. CHURCH OF ENGLAND,

A bill to disestablish the Church of England in this Island was read the second time, and on moving that it be referred to Committee,

Hon. Mr. McGill said the bill pro- posed to repeal an act passed in the 30th year of the reign of George III, and also an act passed in the 43rd year of the same reign. It might be said there was no real grievance requiring the repeal of those acts, but there was at Jeast a senti-~ mental grievance. If there had been no real grievance it was because of the good taste of the gentlemen who had it in their power to enforce those acts. He might refer to a circumstance which took place at St. Eleanor’s last winter. The only feeling he entertained with respect to it was that ot commiseration for the cengre- gation over which a certain gentleman was presiding. He did not wish to say anything against that branch of the christian church, for he believed it cons tained mapy worthy men, but he was opposed to the principle of established churches. It had been thought that the bill would eaase some inconvenience in the discipline of the church of England, and a gentleman connected with that

The bill |

church had prepared an amendment which he intended to propose when the House went into committee. He considered it

| inexpedient that any church should be |

established on this Island. The bill said no person should be molested on aceount of hs religious opinions, and that w:s the grand principle upon which the constitu~ tion of the United States was based. An amendment had been prepared by a gent- leman of the Church of England, in high standing, but there was one clause which he considered inadvisable. It provided that the Lieutenant Governor could silence any person from teaching or preaching either publicly or privately who might pretend to belong to the church of England He was in favor of having a free church in a free State—of letting every man have his liberty to preach who felt that he was called upon to do so.

Hlon. Mr. Strong did not see that they were called upon to legislate upon this subject, as it had not come before them by petition or complaint, nor had it been introduced by any person seeking an al- teration in the laws which more particu- larly concerned a certain denomination. He did not see what they had to do with an old obsolete act, passed upwards of seventy-two years ago. Whatever cause of complaint there might have been in that act, was completely removed by the Emancipation Act- Before any church could be an established church it must have power to raise revenues by taxation, as in Ireland. By the Act his honor had referred to, the rmhts of dissenters were fully secured. All the churches here had acts of incorporation, and he (Mr. &.,) looked upon the act, proposed to be re- pealed, as the Incorporation of the Charch of England. That bedy had no other ; and it gave power to the Lieutenant Gov- ernor in Council to silence or remove any person who might come in pretending to be a minister of the Church of England. He was not aware that the Government had such power, but if the church choose to give it to them he had no objections. The act did not interfere with the rights of any religius body or individual, and he did not see why they should interfere with it. Jt had been said that dissenters were merely tolerated, but they were as free to build churches and meeting houses avd to wership God, according to the dictates of their consciences, as were the members of the Church of England. With regard to the circumstance which took place at St. Eleanor's, while he regretted it as much as any person, he was aware that the graveyard belonged to the Epis- ecpal Church, and they might exclude al] others. The bill would not remedy this. It would not liberalize men’s minds. He understood that it was the intention of that body to apply for an act of incorpora- tion next year such as had been passed in Nova Scotia, and he thought they would not be treating them with that degree of courtesy which other denomina- tions would claim, to interfere with their church business. It appeared to him [Mr. Strong] to be very much like im. pertinence, upon the part of his honor who introduced the bill, to interfere with matters pertaining to a church to which he did not profess to belong. There was nochurck established here, and the House might be better employed than in fighting a shadow:

lion. Mr. Laird had given very little attention ty the subject, and was disposed to look upon the bill as one of very little importance ; but he had just looked up | the act proposed to be repealed, and he found that a Minister of the Church of Kngland coming to this province was presented by a congregation to the Lieut, Governor, and if he produced proper testimonials from the Bishop of London or the Bishop of Nova Scotia, the Lieut.

| say that ‘if any other person pretending

himself a miuister of the church of King. land, shail contrary to this act, presume to teach or preach, publicly or privately, the Govornor, Lieutenant Governor, or Commander-in-Chief, and His Majesty 8 Council are hereby desired and empower- ed to suspend and silence the person so offending.’”? He looked upon such a law upon our Statute Book as a disgrace to

day when a man would have to present himself before the Civil Power and ask permission to preach, had long since pas- sed away. That part of the act was suf- ficient to call the attention of the House to the matter. If he (Mr. Laird) cupied the position of one of the Lieu- tenant Governor’s ce: stitutional advisers, he would feel very reluctant to act upon the section of the law he had just read. The bill proposed to re-enact the parts of the law considered necessary.

Hon. Mr. Strong would say, by way of explanation, that he had not studied the matter, and neither, he believed, had his honor who had just spoken. He (Mr. Strong) was a freetrader in those

/ matters, and was also of opinion that the

Lieutenant Governor in Council should not have power to silence any man from preaching; but his honor has not read fae enough. The Governor in Council could silence any man who might pretend to be a minister of the Church of Eng- land, just as the trustees of a Methodist Church could silence a man who might preach doctrines contrary to those held by that church. The act his honor re- ferred to went to say :—“ Provided never- theless, and it is the true intent and meaning of this act, that Protestants dis- cevting from the church of England, whether they be Calvenists, Lutherans, Quakers, or under what deneminations soever, shall have free liberty of consci- ence, and may erect, and build meeting houses for public worship, and may choose and elect ministers for performing divine service and administration of the sacrement according to their several opinions, and according to the provisions of an act of the General Assembly, made and passed in the thirtieth year of His present Majesty’s reign, intitled ‘ An act for quieting the minds of Llis Majesty’s dissenting Protestant subjects in the I[s- land of Saint John.’”’ It was therefore evident that dissenters had full liberty of conscience, and if the Church of England chosses to give powerto the Lieutenant Governor in Council to silence a preacher who might attempt to come into their churches without producing proper ere- dentials he (Mr. 8.) had no objections, though he would not like to submit to the authority of the Governor in Council in such matters.

WATERLOO DAY.

Sunday the 18th June, was the anniversary, of the battle of Waterloo. It was this day sixty-one years ago that the Iron Duke met and vanquished the armies of Napoleon and destroyed the powers of the ambitious Em- peror of the French. The following extracts from a voice from Waterloo may be interest- jng to some of our readers :—

“Just before the commencement of the battle, and afler taking a minute survey of his treops on the position, the Duke rode to Hougoumont and followed the footpath that traversed the woods, halted at the eastern boundary from whence he surveyed the enemy’s masses in the vicinity. He after- wards returned to the buildings, and, casts ing a hasty glance around, made a few ob. servations to Colonel McDougall, ordered a slight change to be made in the troops hold- ing the woodand outgrounds, and then rode away.

At about half-past ten o’clock, Ilis Grace was near the bit of hedge row on the road - side, marching between the Loire and Hou- gounout, in conversation with one of his staff, when a strong force of light troops of Prince Jerome’s division Commenced an at- taek in the woods of Lugoumont upon our ‘ight troops, who, being under cover of the hedge and trees kept them at bay for some time. The French,however, pressed on brisk- iv into the wood, and Jrove our troops back towards the buildings The rattle of musket-

ry was kepl up in the woods for some time, jand thus opened the memorable dav of | Waterloo, ‘Sunday, l8th June, 1815.) ‘CHE EVE OF THE BATTLE OF WATERLOO. (Saturday, [7th June, 1815) «Kneel, warrior, kneel; to-morrow sun,

May see thy course of glory run ; And batter’d helm, shiver’d glave

May lie neglected near tliy grave. Kneel ; for thy prayer in battle field May sanctify thy sword and shield, And help to guard, unstain’d and free, Our alters, home and liberty.

“Arm, warrior, arm; the hostile bands Now graspin haste their whetted brands, And seek the vantage of the height,

Ere the first blush of morning light,

And hark! the thrumpets stormy bray, God speed the warrior on thy way

The stirring word of onset be:

Our alters, home and liberty.

“Shout warriors,shout,che field's thine own The Emperor's ranks are all o’rthrown ; His columns dense, and squadrons vast Were but as dust before the blast.

In thunder; on Napoleon tes ;

And leaves again, unstained and free,

Y PARAPHRASED,

Below we give the ciosing part of S. I. Bartram’s speech in the Weible-Lefler breach of promise suit, which attracted so much attention in court last week. This peroration is worthy of being preserved, not only tor its beauty of language and thought, but also from its peeuliar novelty, the principal word of each parallel beginning with the same jet- ter a, and taking up each letter consecutivly toz. We give itas reported by J. A. Os- borne:

«Gentlemen, we have shown to you that in all his attentions to her he has been As- siduous and Artful, she, in her love for him, has been Affectionate and Artless,

‘ He was Brazen and Bold, she was Beau- tiful in her Bashfulness.

‘He was Continuous in his aitentions, she was Cheerfully Conscientious ia their accept- ance. ;

‘He has been the Deceiver, she the Decei- ved.

‘ He was Ever pleaiing, she Ever yielding.

‘ He was False, while she was Faithful,

‘ He was Garrulous and Gasconading, she was Guileless and Grateful.

‘He hardened his Heart in his growing wealth and pride but she was Happy in Her very Humbieness.

‘With him it was all I, all self; her very Individuality was swallowed up in him.

‘He knows no Justice, she knows no Joy.

‘He Kept her affections, for she Knew not his estrangement.

‘He Loathed her poverty, she Loved his very footsteps.

‘He Manifested love whilst Meditating villainy, she fond, true and trusting girl that she is, expected Marriage.

“He, by his professions, would from her Nothing withold, but from him she Nothing received—to herjhe Nothing gave.

‘He Oversruled all objections, she yielded herself his One, his Only.

‘He gave up to Prudence as taught by Pen- uriousness ; she Paid the Price and must submit to Providence and your verdict under this petition.

‘He carried the Quiver, she received in full quartum its darts,

‘It may be that at some time in the be- ginning of their acquaintence he had been worthy of her Jove, but she was not, and is not deserving of her present Woe.

‘A DROP OF JOY IN EVERY WORD.’

Fiemixaron, Hunterdon Co., N. J., June 26, 1874.

Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buftalo, N. Y., Dear Sir— Itjis with a happy heart that I pen you these lines to acknowledge that you and your Golden Medical Discovery and Purgative Pellets are a blessing to the World. These medicines can- not be to highly praised, for they have almost brought me out of the grave. Three months ago I was broken out with large ulcers on my body limbs and face. I procured your Golden Medi- cal Discovery and Purgative Pellets, and to- day 1 am in good health, all those ugly ulcers having healed and ‘left my skin ina natural, healthy condition. [| thought at one time I could not be cured. Although I can but poorly express my gratitude to you, yet there is a drop of joy in every word I write. God’s blessing rest On you and your wonderful Medicines is the humble prayer of

Yours truly, JAMES 0. BELLIS.

When a medicine will promptly cure such terrible eating ulcers and free the blood of the virulent poison causing them who can longer doubt its wonderful virtues ?_ Dr. Pierce, how-~ ever, does not wish to place his Golden Medical Discovery in the catalogue of quack patent nostrums by reccommending it to cure every disease, nor does he so reccommend it ; but what he does reccommend is this, that there is but one form of blood disease that it will not cure, and that disease is cancer. He does not re- commend his Discovery for that disease, yet he koows it to be the most searching blocd eleanser yet discovered, and that it will free the blood and system of all other blood poisons, be they animal, vegetable of mineral. The Golden Medical Discovery is warranted by him to cure the worst forms of skin diseases, as all Pimples, Blotches and eruptions, also all Glandular Swellings, and the worst form of Scrofulous and Ulcerated Sores of neck legs and other parts, and all Serofulous diseases of the Bones, as White Swellings, Fever Sores Hip Joint and Spinal Diseases, all of which belong to serotu-

TOTWITHSTANDING the Dull Times, the demand for my make of Carriages, Sleighs, Threshing Machines, Fanners, &c., in King’s County, has rendered it necessary, in order to sapply the rapi¢ly increasing demand, that | should extend my business into that County. Ihave, therefore, at the request of a large number of my friends ard patrons, opened a BRANCH FACTORY AT CARDIGAN BRIDGE, which is conducted by a competent mechanic, who served his time in the ‘‘ Nonpareil,” and has since worked for several years in the United States—a mechanic who knows his’business, and has such an interest in the work as to allow nothing but a faithful job to pass. He and several competent workmen will attend to the wants of the public in that County.

‘The stock used in the construction of the

work will be of the best imported, viz :— American Hickcry, Oak, Ash, Elm, Bass, Whitewood, ete., ete. The iron will be of the best English refined; and Norway and Swedish iron will be used for the parts re quiring extra strength and durability. Also, in connection with the said branch is a PAINTSHOP, which is conducted by a first-class carriage-painter, who will attend to the painting of new and second-hand work for the public.

N. B.—Persons wishing work done in the Carriage, Sleigh, or Farming Implement line, will please call,and they will be treated courteously and fairly dealt with. All kinds of REPAIRING, including Mowing Machines, done. Prices Moderate; Terms Easy.
