AN informal meeting of the City Council was held this forenoon, when yesterday’s election returns were opened and accepted by those present.

A Terriric storm visited Toronto, On- tario, on the 5th. Hail stones, like broken ice, demolished windows in the churches and dwellings. The cellars were flooded, and the streets caved in all directions.

Ar the Stipendiary Magistrate’s Court, this forenoon, Thomas Ladner, drunk and lying on Queen’s Square, was fined $2 and costs or 8 days; Joseph Cameron, drunk and wandering about the street at 2a. m., was fined $1 or 4 days.

In St. John, on Monday morning, an old man named John Hennessy was discovered lying dead ina barn off Germain street. He was an inmate of the Alms House, and a few days ago took his discharge to visit his children in the city, but died before see- ing them.

In Halifax, the other day, the police en- tered a house on Maitland street which was suspected of being an illicit distillery, and seized two thousand gallons of partially dis- tilled liquor, thirty gallons of rum and a puncheon of molasses. It is believed that a large quantity of liquor has been distilled at this place and then removed.

Tue Patriot says: Our ingenious friend, Mr. Wm. McKenzie, of Lot 49, has invent- ed a wagon fender. It is very simple and very effective. It does away completely with the scraping and disagreeable sound made by the wheel against the fender now in use, and enables the vehicle to which it is attached to turn readily. We trust that Mr. McKenzie will get his invention pat- ented and make a good thing out of it. It is certainly a great improvement.

THe steamer Worgester, Hedge master, arrived from Boston this morning at six o'clock with a cargo of sundry goods and the following passengers:—Mr. Samuel Car- penter, Mr. G. V. Harris, Major P. G.

Tue hard times in the United States are, according to the N. Y. Times, giving a great impetus to the settlements of public lands. it says: ‘‘When the hosts of unemployed laborers who cling to the cities, despite their enforced idleness, shall have gone to tilling the soil, one of the serious troubles of the day willhave been naturally and permanently adjusted. Necessity teaches what argument and illustration never can. Political economists and newspaper scribes might advise the poor and unemployed to go West until they had grown gray, and all to no purpose, Four or five years of non- occupation and{need have set the tide of hu- manity flowing in that most wholesome and desirable direction.

We would call the attention of our read- ers to the extensive sale of Farm Lands and Pasture Lots, as advertized by William Dodd, the Auctioneer. The sale will take place to-morrow at Kenwith, about five miles from the city, on the Malpeque Road, and will commence at 11 o'clock. This property is civided into Farms of from forty to fifty acres each; and near the Wins- loe Road Station, into lots of from one to six acres each. The property is so well known as to need no description, and com- prises some of the best farming lands in the proximity of the city.

‘We have good authority for announcing that the general elections for the Dominion will come off in Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island in the first week of September next. Manitoba and British Columbia need not, under the provisions of the Statute, have their elections till later. Under the Act, the Government have only to gixe notice by proclamation eight days before the day fixed for the nomination of candidates. From present advices we believe that the Government intend to spring the elections upon us within a month. Our advice to the electors is ‘Be ready.’”

We clip the above from an exchange.

A sgEpy looking customer from the ru- ral districts entered the city this morning to witness the sports of the day, and to- ward noon became delicately steeped in liquor. He roamed about Queen street

viewing everything with curiosity, and at 2} ——

o’elock was standing at the corner of the “American Variety Store,” dizzy—every- thing seemed to be going around. _Present- ly something attractive in the window of the above named store drew his attention, and while in the act of scrutinizing its make-up, his head and shoulders were seen to disappear through one of the large panes. He gathered himself from that awkward ition and, shaking the broken glass from

is shoulders, sped down Queen street,

closely followed by the proprietor. A lively chase was witnessed by the residents o Water street. It was continned through

the East end, and when the police joined in ,

at Prince street there were no less than fifty urchins following. He was, however, cap- tured and brought to the Police Station, where he awaits trial.

Last year’s revenue of the German Cen- tral Exchequer was 15,000,000 marks be- low the estimate. All branches of customs and excise suffered from the continued de- pression of trade. The deficits were covered by the savings from the French indemnity. The coming meeting Kaidelberg for finance minister is intended to pave the way for an increase of revenue. The discussions will cover the subject of Excise and kindred subjects. Herr Hobesht, Prussian member of Parliament, is said to have devised a plan for a rapid increase of indirect taxa- tion.

A Bye-Law for Levying an Assess- ment on Real Property in the City of Charlottetown.

(Passed by the City Council 19th July, 1878.)

HEREAS, it is necessary and expedient

to pass a By-Law for the purpose of levy- ing an Assessment on the rental of Freehold and Leasehold Property in the City of Char- lottetown. for City and School purposes, for the current year ending on the twenty sixth day of May, in the year of our Lord one thou- sand eight hundred and seventy nine,—

Be it therefore enacted by the City Council of the City of Charlottetown as follows :-—

1. There shall be paid by the occupants or owners of Freehold or Leasehold Property within the City of Charlottetown, for City and School purposes, the following sum, that is to say, the sum of Twelve Cents onevery Dollar of the rental for the current year ending on the twenty-sixth day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred seventy- nine, according to the valuations entered

against the names of each and every person in the Valuation Book of Real

Property made by the Assessors of of the City of Charlottetown, and returned by the said Assessors to the said City Council on the twelfth day of July, in the year of Our Lord One Thousand Eight Hundred and Seventy-eight.

2. In cases where the occupant named in the Assessment Book of real property, made by the said Assessors of the City of Cherlotte- town, shall have left the premises so assessed before the time of giving the notice of assess- ment required by law, such notice shall be served upon the person or persons actually in possession ; and, if the premises be vacant, then such notice shall be served upon the owner or owners thereof, or his or their agent ; and such owner or owners shall be deemed, for the purposes of this law, the occupant or 5 occupants ; and such occupant or occupants, owner or owners in the cases aforesaid, shall be severally liable for the payment of the sum entered against the name of the original occu-

SYDNEY COAL.

70:

REDUCTION IN PRICE !

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC!

HE GENERAL MINING ASSOCIA-

TION (Limited) beg to intimate to the Public that the price of SYDNEY COAL has been

Reduced to $2 per ton of 2240 Ibs., a price which it is hoped will place it within the reach of all consumers,

The openin of the new winning at ‘*‘ THE SYDNEY MINES” and the fact that the SYDNEY COAL now being shipped is all from the DEEP taken in connection with re cent improvements in the process of screening, affords purchasers a positive guarantee of the very superior quality and condition of the SYDNEY COAL now offered for sale.

It is a well-know fact that for many years

t the prices of other Cape Breton coals have een regulated by the rates fixed for SYDNEY COAL; but while it is true that other coals, to get a sale at all, have been pressed on the market at various prices under the current rate of SYDNEY COAI, it is no less true that, taking into account the superior lasting qualities of SYDNEY COAL when compared with other Cape Breton coals, the advantage, both as to economy and convenience, is in favor of SYDNEY COAL, even at a much higher price.

The General Mining Association (Limited) regret that they should again have to caution the Public against the attempts being made from time to time to induce them to buy in- ferior coals purporting to be ‘‘ EQUAL TO SYDNEY,” ““SUPERIOR TO SYDNEY,” etc., etc., while some yet more unscrupulous vendors have not hesitated to advertise their coalas SYDNEY COAL (from some designated locality). All these efforts to sell coal by such means are only so many admissions on the part of those who make them of the staNDARD character of SYDNEY COAL.

It has come to the knowledge of the Asso- ciation that in frequent instances parties givin orders to truckmen and others for SYDNE “JAL have been furnished with other and inferior coal. The Public are cautioned against permitting themselves to be imposed upon in this way.

Every vessel loaded at THE SYDNEY MINES is furnished with a certificate of her cargo being Sydney Coal. Parties purchasing should satisfy themselves by demanding the production of this certificate. |

The ‘‘ Sydney Coal” is registered under the laws of the Dominion, and unauthorized parties using the Trade Mark ““SSYDNEY COAL” are liable to prosecution.
