This elegant picture has become deserved'y popu ar elsewhere, and Caunot fail to be- come so here.

Though the finish of our Photographs cannot be excelled, we would direct altea- tion to the beautitul

To the Editor of the Keaminer :

Dear Str,—In the Patriot of the 10th inst., jest at hand, I observe a paragrapa communi- cated, no douvt, by Mr. J. M, L. Duncan, in which that characteristleally modest individu- al blows his own trumphet very bravely. J. M. L., it appears from the paaagraph in ques- tion, is the teacher of a Sunday School Class in this city— which, when taken charge of by him about a year anda half since, only num- bered eight members ; but the membership of which, he says, is now fifty-three. John ac- counts for the increase ia the membership of his class, on the grounds of him being a train. ed teacher, aud understa iding the artot teaching and drawing a class together,” which. he mo

destly prociaims, gives him an ‘advantage over many” of his Sabbath co-workers. John says that nowhe ‘‘understands the artof teach

ing and drawing a class together! Well, if such be reclly the case,{ am very much pleased to learn that bis haughty and overbearing spirit has undergone “a change for the better. When J. M, L. taught school in this District, for a brief period, a few years ago, he was not possessed oi a very large stock of that kmd of magnetism, which is calevlated to draw either young or old toward him, However, if he has seen the errors of his way, and has turned over a new leaf, no person can be more pleased upon hearing of the fact, than

To the Editor of the Examiner :

Dear Sir,—I had not the slightest idea when I wrote a letter (containing a few gentis hints to the Rink Direciors) ia your psper for the benefit of the public generally, I would be the means of stirring up so much bile in that corporation, Itis very amusing to read the ditierent articles of the literary (?) Directors; how they almost one and all pour out the vials of their wrath on my poor devotca head. They are nearly all out now, with the exvep- tion of the ‘“‘literary light” of other days, who, it is supposed, has long since retired on his laurels as a ‘‘complete leiter writer.” *‘Director” is evideatly now the “heavy” men in the Board of Directors and correspondence line. He, too, graduated with honors in the H. B. C. (and appears proud of his ‘Alma Mater”), and weat up higher, and yearly takes his seat among the other luminaries in the Rink Council Chamber. ‘‘Director,” how ever, does not carry the same weight with him in the columns of a newspaper as he does when on the ‘‘walk.” The ‘‘heavy” man is touched with the H. B. C. mania; he flies the main point at issue, and goes into a rehash of the ‘‘tixplanatory letters,” and introdu es a lot of nonsence about ‘‘home-made pilates,” etc. Jam sorry, but I am compelled to be- lieve ‘‘ Director” has a silver plate in his own till Enough said of this H. B. C. business. The public were heartily sick and tired of the foolish transaction at the time, and the ‘*bril- liant series of letters” completed the abus:. ‘* Experience teaches,” etc. I feel sure some of them, i. ¢., Directors of H. B. C., would think twice about bringing over again a full regimental band without first counting up all the costs, etc., and seeing, as far as they knew how, whether it was likely that the assets would cover their liabilities. There is no doubt that, having to ‘‘pay for their piper,” then was the very best lesson they could have learned. But ‘‘ Revenons a nos moutons,” ** Director” may quibble as he likes about the 20 per cent. dividend—it makes very very l'ttle difference to me, or to the public, whethe: the Shareholders, i. ¢. Directors, past and present, divided the proceeds of the Ktink between themselves or allewed it to go towards liquidating the cost of the building. I still main the protita of the Rink were 20 per cent. In spite of the denial of the ‘‘Directors” I again say that theconductat the Rink towards the close of last season was rictous in the ex- treme, and that the Directors were spoken to ; and ‘‘for the benefit of the public” I repeat ‘the price of tickets is monstrously high.” My re- marks on the Citizens’ Skating Rink were not, as ‘‘Director” says, prompted ‘‘ by ill nature.” Almost every person I spoke toagreed with me that the young Directors were ‘‘going ‘t a trifle too strong.” They were young men of little or no experience (except the H, B. C. fiasco), only one or two of them were ever alarmed with having any brains at all ; and the public know that light-headed young men areall apt at times to get a little heady, especially if they are allowed to carry things too long their own way. Then a genile remonsirance does good, and mine will have that effect wth the one or two clear-headed ones. ‘‘A word to the wise is sufficient,” and they showed their sense by keep- ing out of print. ‘‘Only fools rush in, &e.” With regard to my other assailant, ‘Anti- Humbug,” he has thought fit to become the apologist for the old and experienced head? and says he has ‘‘ability” and ‘“ common sense.” I never said he hadn't, although I never knew that it was requisite for the ‘figure head” of a Bank to have much of either. ‘‘Anti- Humbug” evidently has not asingle idea in his head;(’) His letter (?) is a copy of my own. Ilock upon him as not two degrees re- moved from a tool (his friends know best.) In passing him over I simply give this advice to his friends, Never allow him (ifit can be helped) to play with ‘‘pen and ink,” as he will be sure some day either to hurt himself with the pen or dabble himself and friends over with the ink. In conclusion I would advise the Directors to act like sensible men and listen to the advice of “Skater,” ‘Paterfamilies,’, and “Father of Four Daughters,” men older and wiser than themselves. Keep oo temper,

entlemen ; dower your prices all round ; and ne better order in the Rink, and you will be sure to give general satisfaction to the public, and instead of a dividend of 20 per cent this season, you will realize considerably over 25. I wish you all a Happy New Year.

Yours, &c., Fatuer oF Focr DavGurers.

PRESIDENTS ANNUAL REPORT.

We meet here to-day on the oceasion of the 23rd anniversary mecting of this Association, founded in 1854, and, first of ali, desire to recognize the good hand of God, which has led us hither and enables us, at the present mc- ment, to report onr success, and improved po- sition in very many respects.

The Executive Committee, appointed last year, haveall been spared to re-assemble on this occasion. Of the other members of our Association, one has, during the past year, been called from his earthly avocations ; not, however, without having given evidence of a sure and certain hope of future happiness.

In July last, Mr. Needham, the well-known Evangelist, visited Charlottetown, and held several meetings in our hall, which we cheer- fully placed at his disposa’. The interest taken in them was great, as evinced by a fv!) atten- dance on each occasion.

The Lecture course of 1876-7, was a very successful one; and we are pleased to be able to announce thit we have arranved a course for the coming session 1877-8, whicii, judging from the names of the lectvrers and the su djects se- lected, cannot fail to be brilliant aad success- ful.

The thanks of this Association ought to be given, and are hereby tendered to the various entlemen who have kindly already delivered ectures, or consented to do so hereafter.

Our Sunday afternoon prayer meetings have been well—and we may say—very fully attend- ed; and we are very thankful to observe a great and increasing interest taken in them,and we trust a blessing attends the efforis of this Association in that connection. The music and service of song at these meetings, has been very good and our thanks are due to those kind ladies and gentlemen of the choir, who have aided in this work.

We must particularly record our thanks to Miss Jane Morrison, who presides at the or- gan, and seems never to weary in her efforts to he!p us forward on every occasion.

The Bible Class on Saturday eveniag, is now regularly held, but ie attendances nev so large as it ought to be. We would cal] the attea- tion of our members to this, and invite them to co-operate in making so vzluable an oppor- tunity, of carefully studying the word of God, more generally known and useful, than it hes beea. :

Our Reading Room has been enlarged, and the numbers of those atiending it have. in- creased. This, in conjuoction with our com- fortable parlor, offers attractions to all who wish to sperd a rational and com/oriable hour. A poor-box, in conneciioa with our Associa- tien, has been placed in the Read'ng Room. ‘The contributions have amountesd 9 $15.50, of which $7.00 have been expended. We invite further contributions to this Chistian object, now at the commencement of our winter, as, no doubt, many worthy ways of spending them will be presented before the severity of the season has passed

The financial position of the Association is better than it has been for some years past, as will be seen on reference to the ‘l'reasurer’s accounts about to be submitted.

The number of members has increased from 206 to 270. Amount realized by tickets for members, from $353.25 to $477.

Sunday collections about the same—$127.56, Receipts f lectures, $108.89; last year, $79.98 cents.

Extracting from the accounis, ordinary re- ceipts and expenditure, we have a surplus on the year of $118.57 (or at least $103.87.)

This, however, has been practically taken away from us by the fact that we have paid off to Mr. Hales $206.92 of a very old debt, which he, too kindly, advanced end allowed to stand over for years.

We have yet a debt to provide for of about $107, on account of the purchase of an organ, which sum has b2en paid to the vendor of the instrument by two of our members.

During the latter part of the year we had the pleasure of heartily welcoming on our platform, on more than one occasion, on Sun- day afternoons, Mr. D. Banks McKenzie, the eminent philanthropist and euccessful temper- ance advocate. Our parlor furnished a place for a season where he met friends of the Re- form Club ; and still, weekly, the ladies of the Club meet there, and will elways be heartily welcome to do so. So if this great Reform movement did not originate in ovr Association, it has been and always wiil be welcomed there.

As a Christian Association, we heartily de- sire the success of ihe Charlottetown Temper ance Reform Club.
