The “Patriot” on Free Trade.

We are at a loss to account for the fury of the Patriot. We have not even noticed its inane nonsense upon the Trade Policy of the Conservative Party. The utmos! limit o7 our offending has been to sugges’ that the Patriot, which stoutly supports the Party that, in the most offensive manne? possible, raised the duties upon ever d itiable article we import ani in the saze brev'h bellows Fr e Trale at the to, of its gvnu', must be insinecr>. We have no quire] with the Pa'rio' about Free Trae. Its edi o: isafrve trade fanatic ; ani i's ravings are of no account ene way or the other.

Mysterious Death.

Mr. Wittram Moercn, of Rocky Point, came to a very mysterious death while at a hauling frolic at that place on Wednesday evening. It appears that a number of far- mers were engaged in hauling hay to a farm

house in that neighborhood. Mr. Mutch,:

arriving at the place a short time before the others who were so engaged, wept into the house to warm himself. His horse started f-om the door and he immediately pursued him. He had been some time away when those at the ‘‘frolic” followed, and a short distance from the house found the horse with his legs tangled in the shafts. They r ghted the team, and on moving it for- ward, found Mr. Mutch lying dead in the snow. It is doubtful whether an_ inquest will be held on the remains. The Coroner's fees have been so reduced by the present Government that it is said they will not go out of their way to hold an inquest. ae Oe

Passive Rounp tae Hat.—We learn that’some of the Grits of this City are aga n passing rouad the hat for the purpos: of getting the ‘‘wherewith” to send the Editor of the Patriot to Ottawa to report proce 3d- ings. If the learned editor does not em- ploy his time to better advantage than he did last winter, and if he continues to send bogus and unreliable telegrams, we think his friends might lay out their money to a more useful purpose, and for which there will be a more satisfactory return. We would suggest that the money be given to those who feel the pinch for bread, or to that very praiseworthy institution, the ‘Soup Kitchen.”

A Horse and sleigh driven by two young boys beloaging to Mr. Stephen Vanbuskirk, of Bradalbane, broke through the i:e on Holmes’ mill pond on the afternoon of tie 30th, and only for the timely assistance of Hector McDonald and others, the loss of a valuable horse and perhaps of lives, might have been the result, People owning trotting horses should be cautious after a lats thaw.

THe Christian Messenger has the follow- ing resolution which was passed by the Kentville, N.S., Reform Ciub. Kentville has—on account of its numerous grogshops —borne the name of ‘“the Devils half acre,” and if the club carry out the spirit of their resolution, wz will expect to see the name reversed :—

Resulvei, That the Reform Club pledges itself to shut up every rum shop in Kent- ville, within three months from date.

Dreruerta.—Another of Mr. McTague’s family has fallen a victim to this disease: We deeply sympathise with him in his be- r:avement—and the more se as the disease was con‘racted from parties whilst att -nd- inzto the duty of station at Mo ell, of which he is Agent.

Tug steancr Northern Light with the Colonial mails is stuck in heavy ice six miles outside Pictou hérvor. She is not likely to get clear to-day. This will pro- bably interfere w:t1 the arrangenents of some of our legilitors who purpose leaving for Ottawa to-morrow morning

By request of the Police Committee of the City Council, the Stipentiary Magistrate has allowed Policeman McKinnon to remain on the force. He wiil, for his offence, for

feit one months salary.

For that tickling in the throat, cough, or hoarseness, the Barley Sugar, Butter Scotch, and Hoarhound Candy, at “ The Confectionery,” are just what is wanted.

}

| xl, au i the street passing the Drill She cou

| cinued along the edge of Government Pond itll it runs lato the one from St James Churec’, | and thence across the ond and into Brighton }oad, ths arrangement will make the e- icrance to aud retura from the Park in this | aatu rally beautiinl situation. The Govern- meat Po: d would thus be formed ixto an oval- shaped lakelet, and the banks might be plated with trees. The street passing along the edge would clear away many of the httle hovels in this quarter; and if the street was opened in this manner it would form a pleasant walk from the Brighton Road, the mouth of the aarbor and Government House lodge, (a deli- ious spot for a good bit of Gothic architec- iure), shewing above the bridge. The lower satrance to Brighton Road would be just below cho angle of Rochfort Square, thus miking a short cut into the heart of the city and open- ng very good building sites in the vicinity of che soup kitchem Now, if a large ugly brick xducational factory is to be erected here, it will immediately render all the surroundings common place and ugly as itself, and very pro- vably have the same effect upon the iamates, 20 matter how intelligent, graceful or culti- vated the teachers may be. ‘This structure will rise, with its dreary rows of windows and sjuare walls, high above any buildings about + like a huge monument of ignorance aud un- southiness, instead of being ove of education ind refinement. If this building is ever com

oletec’, we will attempt to invent—for the speciai use of the institution—a new educating machine that siallbe driven entirely by steam, and fitted with grinding, moulding,and punch- ing arrange nents after the most approved pat- seras; we would also have a thrashing ma- chine in connection with the same. Our idea for a sign board would be something of this sort: ** Educational steam mill, refining and polishing the raw material done here.”

On entering our harbor, one of the most beautifu spots in it is the cove, stretching from Govern- ment Honse round to Mr. Davies’. Next sum- mer the eyes of tourists will, perhaps, be de- lightel by a heap of brick and mortar jammed up into this corner and towering, in stupend- ous uglines3s, above a around. It will be a perfect act of vandalism, if the autho- rities allow an ugly building to be placed in this sitaation. People may say that a brick box, with holes in it, is qulte good enough for the people of Charlottetown ; but such people are mightly mistaken, for we do not believe that there is a single mechanic in Oharlotée- town who does not derive a certain degree of pleasure and ben fit, every time that he looks at a well proportioned building.

itis wellknown what an effect outward appear- ances have upon themindsofchildren,and that a well prop oriioied oblect that comes very often befor their eyes will, ina very strange man- ner, gradually create in their minds a co- rect tast2 - and fondness for beautiful things. The opposite is also true, that child. ren who are forced to look very often upon an agly object accustom their minis so much ta its general appearauce that it becomes not at all offensive to them, and thus they are robbed of the pleasure of thvroughly appreciating beauty. They, however, certainiy become gain- ers in one way, namely, that ugly objects, of which, through life they will be doomed to see many, will not be at all unplessant to them. ‘Where ignorance is bliss ‘tis folly to bs wise.” Children who receive an education of this sort become able-bodied travellers, rush through Florence and Rome and wonder what a set of cli fools the men are who write such sentimental nonsence about Rafiel and Michael Angelo.

In fifteen or twenty years the town will have become richer and the youngsters who are growing up now will certainly, by having the venefit of better education, be more refiaed in their tastes than the generation who preceeded then. ‘These children will ask for meat, aad mighty hard-looking old stones they will find provided for them in the shape of public buiid- ings. A structure that is to last for a hundred years or so ought certiinly not to be erected in such a manner that the people living tweuty years hence will be ashamed of having if in any public portion of the city. One of the hest arguments for a well-proportioned building is that it raises the value of all the land in ita vicinity. It has an effect upona neighborhood ai ni’a: to that of beaut:ful trees cr other natu- ral objects. If a good building is erected for the school near Government Pond it will cer- tainly have the effect of clearing all the dirty, old shanties in that neighborhood away, and giving to that portion of the town a decidedly West End appearance. By all means, Mr. Ed tor, us? your influence against the erection of this ugly building, for if it rears its slate brains up into the air of heaven then fever, mud and immorality will stiil confound the in- haLitants of the West Bog.

Wasurnerox, D. C., Jan. 23, 1878.

The gay season may now be said to be at its height. Receptions, balls, dinner parties and entertainments of every sort are of nizht'y occurrence, and oftentimes many pleasurers divide an evening into thirds and quarters, lending their presence for a necessarily limited time to various scenes of gayety. ‘This was the case on Tuesday evening of last week, which was the opening night of Italian Opera with Misses Kellogg, Cary and Roze (all prima }donnas) and other noted artists. It was also ‘the occassion of President Hayes’ first public ‘levee; that of a grand ball given by Mrs.

A Brave Bangor Woman,

The brigt. Dora Green, Captain Collins, of Bangor, left Petit Goave, Hayti. Dee. 7, with a eargo of log wood for New York. While in port one of the crew had been taken with ma larial fever, but recovered without the aid of a physician. Three more of the crew were stricken down with the same discase just be- fore they left thes anchorage, but it was not thought necessary to delay, so rapidly had the former case being cured. Having rounded the northeast promontory of Hayti they were suddenly ieteck by a northeasterly gale, and were compelled to put beck and lay to under the St. Nicholas Mole. Here they were detained ten more days in add:tion to the three they liad lost in vain attempts to make headway. Then other vessels lay to with them. ‘Twice they tried to weather the gale and each time were driven back. .Un the 12th Captain Collins was taken with the fever, and after lingering for eight days, died. Soon after another seaman fell sick, and only the Captain’s wife, one seaman, and the mate were able to be about. The woman was compelled to act asa seiman, and three nights stood at the wheel while the two men reefed the sails. On the 22nda heavy gale was blowing and the vessel was headed for Key West, 430 miles distant. The two men became thoroughly ex hausted and the woman wa3 compelled to keep on deck several nights while the men slept. On the 29th Key West was reached ; the owners were telegraphed and the vessel ar- rived in New York last Wednesday.—Pertland Press.

“Murder Will Out.”

Aman named John H. Robertson died at Newmarket, N. H., last Friday, and on his deathbed disclosed to an intimate friend a mur- der in which he was concerned some years ago in Caala. A young man namel Jewell sud- denly disappeared, and this vonfession of Rob- inson throws the first light on what has during all these years been a mystery. The tragedy occurred in the Langford Road School District in Candia, a locality noted for crimes which have been committed within its precincts. Jewell was a native of Derry and twenty three years old, Fora number of yeaas he was a pedler, in which oceupation h¢ was supposed to have accumulated quite a sum of money. Dur- ing the winter of the murder he was at work asa shoemaker. One bitter cold Saturday night three acquaintances of Jewell called at Mr. Langford’s and asked him (Jewell) to go with them to Mr. Burbank’s on the Jersey Road. Jewell at first hesitated, but finally consented to go, and as a result thereof was murdered. Robinson says that the crime was committed with an axe, and that the victim’s body was sunk in a pond.

Cures for Diptheria.

A correspondent in Halifax kindly sends to us two receipts for Diptheria, which he alleges have been very successful. One of them, dealing with Dr. Field’s sulphur cure was published by us some time ago, but if anyone wishes it reproduced, we will meet their wishes. The other we give below. The ravages of the disease are so great that it seems a wonder that the physicians do not compare notes, and give the public the benefit of their united wisdom, some of them being, no doubt, more successful than others. It is painful in the extreme to chronicle the mortality through diptheria ; and what must the suffering be to tHe fa- milies? If the physicians can direct the general public, some of whomhave no medi. cal men at hand, they would do well to do so. The receipt sent, of the merit of which we know nothing, is as follows :—

The sulphuric acid cure for diptheria. Tie disease is declared by Mr. Greathead to be ot hydatid growth, and that the germs of it float- ing about in certain impure atmospheres were inhaled by human beings. For a grown per- son he prescribes four drops of sulphuric acid diluted in three quarters of a tumbler of water, with a smaller dose for children. The effect of this treatment was said to be instantaneous— the acid at once destroying the parasites, and patients coughing up the obstruction. For weeks since the promulgation of the specific, the papers have teemed with accounts of sut- ferers who had been recovered in a few min- utes by adopting the Greathead treatment. Children previously in almost dying state de- clared to be playing about and asking for some- thing to eat within ten minutes. —St¢. John Tel.
