ISLAND, FRIDAY, AUGUSYD 16, 1878.

i ho ai i i ek “Corres onsciuee. 2 Ms do not hold ourselves responsible for the stalements or Opinion ; of Our Cor reapond nite.

To the Editor of the Heamiane;

Sirn.—~Lain happy to communicate the glad feeling that appears. to prevail im.this locality, occasioned, as it is, from the promising crops now nearly ripe. Harvesting is, this day, commenced by many, with tine weather to be- gin. Our only source of annoyance is the un- warrantable course taken ‘by your contem- porary the Patriot, in daily sending forth its false—and to us unwelcome doctrine—regard- ing Dominion politics.. That the Patriot can not—nor does not write in our interest—is now a weil-known faet. And how the Editor of that paper can devote all his ability and time tu Donunion affairs, te the exclusion of every- thing local, is becoming apparent, If the Pat- riot Was as much the people’s friend, as it allects to be, why doesn’t its Editor write with a view to remedying the Asylum, and causing our harbor improvements to be done inamanner that would be of some benelit to us; and also to vive us some explanation in regard to the Souris extension, ete., etc. These are matters of real interest to us,

Having a large acquaintance in this section of the country, [ beg to say, from all I can learu and know personally, that the se/f- styled Free Trading Goverament and its paid journals, are soon going to reap a very short harvest. Wehave just learned, with much pleasure, that the people’s party purpose hold- ing a big, soul-stirring Picnic at ‘Tracadie Har} bor, next Saturday. It is a fact that Messrs. Pope and Brecken’s friends are making them- selves happy and joyous all throughout the country, and will, no doubt, enjoy a good time at Tracadie on Saturday, and hear such good sound legislative language as will tend to put us through harvesting, etc., with ease.

Messrs. Sinclair and MeGill have made a tour through part of the country with but very little success. They called on their known friends (who are but few, indeed), only to learn that their chances are poor. And, indeed, there are some feeling men amongst us who could wish that Messrs. Sinclair and McGill would retire in time and save them- selves the painful effects of being defeated, or, otherwise, bring Hon. Alex. McKenzie & Co. down here to the rescue, who might unloose the big purse strings and deal out to us a small portion of misappropriated money, such as he dealt out in the Steel Rail affair or the Neeb- ing Hotel & Goderich Harbor Jobs.

Hurrah for the triumphant Candidates— Pope and Brecken—the people’s choice—the ablest men—-their sure success on election day, and a grand hurrah for the big picnic at Traca- (lie on Saturday next, where I hope ,to meet thousands of enthusiastic electors —- Free Traders in reality—(not one sided like the MeKenziecites), and prepared to hear for them- selves aud do thie right square thing viz: vote for Pope and Brecken. -

' Youra, &c., ' New Lonpow, August 14th, 187s.

~~ oa To the Editor of the Examiner :

Sirn—The following letter was picked up from the floor of one of our Post Offices last week. As it contains matter of interest, show- ing how despondent parties have become inthis locality, I venture to request that you give ita place in the next issue of your valuable journal

Yours traly, CONSERVATIAE.

Uld Saw Mill, Lot One, 10th Aug., 1878.

My-Dear Y—o: ..

I am disappointed at not receiving a. letter from you before now. | I am informed that you were up to Alberton on Tuesday last, and that you had a meeting with the officials there. How is. it you did not let me know? are you becoming suspicious of me or do you want to betray me? You must not be suspic- ious of me as [ cannot join the Conservatives now. ‘They do not waut me J acted so treach- erously before when [ left them and opposed H—lan. I wish [ had not done so as I find to my cost that the Grits are very deceitful. You know they have been promising me all along that if I stood by you and helped you all I was able, they would pay me well. > But now when they find I was so badly beaten at the Tignish meeting, when I thought I had such good sup- port, and that my influence is gone they want to shake me off. I hope you are doing well down in your own district and that yeu will have a majority there whatever, .

We cannot do much here. Called to Jing Jang’s last Sunday morning to have a glass be- fore going to church. 1 there met some of our leading friends around here who had called for the same purpose. Of course L had to stand treat. I am beginning to be ashamed of these fellows. They are a despicable hungry lot— not a man of intluence orstanding amongst them. Lam getting short of money. Do you think we ean get some of the secret service Fund or will our friends’make a ‘‘big push” to help us, It is too early to draw next session’s salary or I might do as I did last year, take half in advance.

But:l suppose they would not «co that for me now, seeing that my chances for being re turned are sosmall, | have nothing more to say at present; but I shall hold you to ‘‘ pacta conventa”—excuse the Latin, as 1 know you do not understand it. I cannot. refrain, how- ever, from making a learned quotation, some- times to show that I have been to school to some purpose. —

Thbelieve you never studied much. Iam always ashamed of you when you stand up to speak. You use such bad English. You de- yote too much of your time to learning Indian, which is not much use now, the oxen are so scarce. In conclusion | would say, ‘‘ ne code watis,” and remain

yours ** Entre deaur vins.” S. F. Perry.

NOW 875.

THs McCA 27THY MURDER. DorncuksTeR, Aug. 14, lion. Mr, dlanington, having sufficiently re- covered, is present this morning.

‘The tirst witness was A. H. Chandler, M. D., Dorchester. He graduated in Pennsy?- vania, stadiet im Kugland, Franee and the United States. He was examined some two hours on professional ideas, probabilities, pos. sibilities aud theories, the position the body would occupy under water, ete.

Hion. Mr. Hanington then eross-examined the Doctor on cases of putrefaction, saying it would make a great difference in a body lying in the water ali winter. Several other que:- tions followed, but nothing particularly new or varied was elicited.

‘The next witness was Mrs. Annie Clark, of Point du Chene, hotel keeper, who said that Allen (the midnight visitor) was at her hotel last fall, but she did not think it was in Oc- tober. He riever was there after dark. He came there about 2 o'clock, p. ta, and said he hal come over in the boat. He left there about 3, and if he (Allen) said it was 11 in the evening, he said what was false.

‘To Dr, Tuck— Witness said she was a widew. She knew Allen at Baie Verte. The day he was there was wet and cold. There was no one ,in but she, her daughter and servant. Witness does not know how to play cards, and never saw Mrs. Brown play cards in her house. Squire Deacon, Seely, Bell and others. told witness about Allen’s testimony, but she can’t tell just what day.

Re-examined by Mr. Palmer—Allen left

his mitts at, her house, and they are there yet. _ Mrs. Harriet Steeves, widow of Allen Steeves, Coverdale, was sworn... She had a conversation with Mrs. McCarthy a year ago about. her husband, between Moncton Station and Painsec Junction.

ir. Tuck objects to this, as Mrs. MeCarthy had not been interrogated outside of last fall.

Mr. Palmer maintained she was, and that she denied having any conversation with the witness. His Honor referring to his notes allowed Mr. Palmer to interrogate witness on the time and place, but not the words of the conversation.

Witness then said she aiso conversed with McCarthy about her husband in November in front of Harris’s store in Moncton. She was a neighbor to Mrs. Osborne for some time and knew her to have the name of a kind, mother. ly neighbor, especially in sickness. Eliza stopped with her once and was kind, indus- trious aud honest. ,

To Dr, Tuck.—She has a mortgage en cer- tain property given her by Osborne,

To Mr, Paliner—He gave it without asking; she would have taken his: word.

Rev. J, D. Murray, of Buctouche, testified to burying Mrs, Lucas on on the 13th of Oc- tober last.

Thomas Kinread, undertaker, Moncton was the next witness sworn. In getting a coat on a dead body he often had to cut the coat in the back. He then spoke of the impossibility of a boy like Harry handling a dead hhody over 200 lbs. weight. lt wonld take four men to put such a body in the coffin,

Duucan Bartlet, Bethurst, sworn. He said Annie Parker threatened him as the father of her child. She was called Peltier, Peltier Borie. When hé saw her at Osborne’s she told him she swore it on Ferguson and got

aid. ;

' To Dr. Tuck—The witness said his father is dead, and his name was Robert Bartlett. It was two years last wiuter since he saw Annie. He knew Dan White, Osborne’s son-in-law. He told him what he was.going to swear to. White told him to tell the trath. He guessed White got the sabpeena. He worked some for White, but did not board with him.

William Warman, Shediac, was employed in rafting, and found some three dozen black hairs on a post of One of the coffer-dams under thn Scadouc railway bridge. on the 20th of June. The hairs were about one.and a half or two inches long, and he threw them down on the rait. He would not swear it was not dog’s hair; did not see any dog there.

To My. Paimer—All that were with hiw said they were human. He. told Stephen about it, who wished he had saved it.

To the Court—He never found any more there. The hair was straight, and the roots were all on,

Wm. Allan McDougall, Scotch Settlement, Moncton, sworn. He said he was in Shediac and took dinner at the Waverley on rainy Thursday; he knew it was Thursday by the mail running that day, and no other. He then produced an account of some apples and other things charged to him that da > Smith and Barnes. ‘The item agreed with his own memorandum, and was @ctober llth. He was in the smoking-room at the Waverley that day, and heard the tree agents engage for their board with John Osborne, who looked quite feeble,

Cross-examinued——He went home the same night, and had not seen the agents since,

Mr, Palmer thinks ke will be through with the defence to-morrow.

>to ———

WE notice a breastwork built for James Peake, Esq., across his premises, extending about one hundred and fifty feet along the shore, and returning up Kent Street about fifty feet, the whole being about twelve feet high. This piece of breastwork reflects great credit upon the builder—Mr. David Palmer—of this city, who has laid the tim- ber so evenly, and fastened it securely with tie beams in every alternate course, the whole being fastened with iron, so that it looks like one solid piece. We would re- commend the Commissioner of Public Works, and his Engineer, to take a leaf out of Mr. Pahner’s book.

Tilley, who has “‘ gone astray,” is some- what amusing. When Messrs Tilley, Tup- per and Pope come to Ottawa after the elec- tion with a majority of between 20 and 30 at their backs from the three Provinces, the sympathy wifl be on the other side.—
