These statements are clear and conclusive. It i true that the consumption of intoxi- eating liquors is on the increase in this Province. Everyone knows that a great deal more liquor is now imported, *‘* duty paid,” from Halifax, St. John, Montreal, and other cities of our own country than was so imported in the Ante-Scott Act years. The imports upon which duty is paid here should, therefore, be proportion- ately less. But they are larger, very much larger, than they were before the Scott Act came into operation here.

This is a fact which should be known to our temperance men; for something should be done about it.

** The Church of England Institute Receipt Book,” edited by Mra. William Lawson and Miss Alice Jones, has been published at Hali- fax by|Holloway Bros. Ladies here who have examined the book, say the receipts are ex- cellent. The scope and object of the work

are found by a perusal of the ‘* Introduc- tion,” which is asa follows :

** When fair Mother Eve of Eden was queen,

With only one subject te vary the acene,

Her housekeeping duties eo light and so few,

For days and for weeks she had nothing to do;

So Satan, alert in all ages and lands,

With mischief, alas ! “filled ber fair idle hands

Nor left her alone till she took from the tree

Those apples so fatal to you and to me;

And Adam, like all his descendents, poor sin- ner,

His appetite ready for breakfast and dinner

Took the fruit from her hands with such inf. nite zest,

And ate, and enjoyed it—we all know the reat.

And woman since then fulfilling love's la Having lost man hia Eden dheoagh edibles on, Has been doing her best by gastronomic lore This lost Eden at least in his home to restore By sauces and = by roasting and broiling, Ky cayenne and curry and delicate oiling,

- soup and by stew, by chowder and salad, His heart she has won, and retained through 7 his palate,

or singing, nor painting, nor writing a book, Strikes home like the neuen, **Oh she

can cook |" :

So as cooking fills ap woman's daily exist- ence,

We have published thie book for her special aasiatance, She will find in its pages receipts in abun- dance, It will teach her to corn, to bake and to brew, How to utilize cold meat iu grill or in stew, it will guide her when over her dinner per. _ plexed, Will help her when hurried and soothe her _.. When vexed, Then buy it while Christmas with gladness illumes, And help us to furnish our Institute rooms, M. J. K. L.

—Her farmers prosperons, her shipping earning high freighta, ithe fisheries profit- able, mining in an encouraging condition,

_ and the lumber trade active, Nova Scotia enters the new year in about as good a position as any region of like size on the continent. Everyone should be happy but Longley. So says the Montreal Gazette,

—Though nearly a million Lebel rifles have been turned out in France, the Gov- ernment workshops are still turning out 3,000 a day more. The reason for this is

that, according to the plan, each soldier of tt line and the reserve is to have four rifig@® teady for him when the great mobiliz- ation CUMes.

THE DAILY EXAMINER,

Public Meeting at Mount Stewart.

Pursuant to notice, a largely attended meeting of the inhabitants of Mount Stew- art and adjacent districts was held in the Hall here on Thursday evening, January Srd, for the purpose of discussing the necessary steps to be taken for the con- struction of a public wharf or pier at Mount Stewart. Wm. J. Logan, Esq., was ap- pointed chairman, and the undersigned secretary.

Mr. Zneas McDonald (Allisay), was the first speaker, who, in 4 sound, practical speech, pointed out the numerous disad- vantages that the farmers and others of this section of the country labor under for want of proper wharf accommodation at Mount Stewart, aad referred to the fact, — as did also the speaker who succeeded him, that time and again, numerously signed petitions have been forwarded to the Do- minion Government, praying for the con- struction of a public wharf at this place, and that so far no action whatever has been taken in the matter.

Mr. McDonald was followed by W. H. Douglass, *Esq., Dr. Robertson, ie Lucius O. Kelly, Esq., M. P. P., James R. McEwen, Esq., Elisha K. Coffin, Esq., James Rose, Esq., and others, all of whom spoke in terms condemnatory of the ex- isting Governments for their culpability in this greatly needed public work.

It was moved by W. H. Douglas, Esq., and seconded by Mr. Aineas McDonald, that the following committtee be appointed to wait on the Local Government and ascer- tain if they intend making any move in the

Mount Stewart, and to report the result of their interview ata meeting to be held on the Slat inst.

Committee:—Elisha K, Coffin, Jas. Ross, Richard Egan, Aneas McDonald, James R. McEwen and W. J. Logan.

Letters, expressing their regret at being unable to attend, were read from Dr. Mc- Intyre, M. P., L. H. Davies, M. P., and J. C. Underhay, M. P. P.

The thanks of the meeting were ten- dered Messrs. Robertson and Kelly for their attendance, and also to the chairman, after which the mecting adjourned to meet again on Thursday, 31st iat.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

—_—»-

A Contradiction.

Srr.—I notice in your issue of January Srd, a communication signed ‘* Gustus,” which purports to be a turnout of the Hor- ribles. Said account, Mr. Editor, would perhaps lead some to think that those who eomposed that body were indulging in the forbidden beverage, which is, (owing to freeness of the Scott Act) obtainable. Such an opinion mnst not go without a word of contradiction, as all who composed that body were strictly temperate at the time of parade. ‘* Gustus” also makes an attack upon a young fellow in the band, named White, in his capacity as operator on the kettle-drum, which, Mr. Editor is hardly a just one, as I know that the said member is not in the habit of indulging in strong drink, and is on the whole, a very harm- less and inoffensive young fellow, who has never harmed anyone, least of al] ‘* Gus- tus.” Thanking you for your valuable space,

I am yours &c., ViRivis. Souris, Jan. 4,1889.

SPECIAL DESPATCHES TO Tue EXAMINER.

Au Important Gathering. i: 55 8 © Toronto, Jan, 4. The Board of Trade Dinner held here to- night in the Pavilion, at Horticultural Gardens, was one of the most important events in the history of Toronto, More than half a thousand sat-down at the tables, not counting a far greater number seated in the gallery to hear the speeches. The rd Stanley,

guests of the evening were lx Sir John Macdonald, Hon. Mr. Foster, Sir Fred. Middleton, Hon.

Oliver Mowatt, Mr. Vanhorn and Hon. Geo. Drummond, President of the Montreal Board of Trade. Lord Stanley's speech was important, from the fact that it was his first speech in public on Canadian pub-

lic affairs. In his remarks he fully upheld not only the national but the fiscal policy of the country, and concurred in those ideas that have placed Canada in ;the position which she now holds. Hon. Mr. Foster spoke in high terms of the commercial progress of the country. In answer to the toast of the army and navy, Gen. Middleton said that, while Canada wished no unfriendliness with any nation, aay hostile movement on the part of a foreign power, would tind her fully prepared to take her own part. Sir John Macdonald and Hon.

Mowact spoke against Annexation.

More Eviction Scenes.

Dusiin, Jan. 4.

continued to-day. The evictors went to the house of a tenant named Doogan and found the place defended by a score of men arm- ed with rifles, intrenched behind the loop- holes and walls. The priest who accom- panied the evictors entreated the defend- ers to leave the house, but they refused. The riot act was read and the soldiers were about to firewhen the magistrate stopped them and novtitied the party he would give them an _ hour to reflect upon the course they would pursue. After the expiration of the hour the defend- ers announced they would not use rifles. The bailiffs and;police attacked the house, and after a desperate struggle wore re- pulsed. Finally the priests persuaded the men to surrender. During the fight Police Inspector Badey was wounded and a dozen baliffs and policemen were injured. One of the offenders had his jaw fractured, while another was buried beneath a barri- cade and sustained severe injuries. There were 13 arrests made.

Montreal, Jan. 4.

A man named John Scallion, who was arrested to-day for passing counterfeit bills of one and two dollar denominationa and pleaded guilty, is believed to have accom- plices in the neighboring parishes.
