A Complaint. Srr,—The police regulations are by no | Means satisfactory to the tax payers in the | eastern end of the city. Had a policeman been on the rounds on Saturday night and arrested a couple of drunken, blaspheming rougs, the respectable residents in the vicinity of the Convent would have been spared much annoyance, and fences and other property would not have been destroy- © As a texp»yer, I claim that wa are en- titled to a fair share of prot ction. If the

' @utaorities h 1Ve mace up their minds that }

ye will not enforce the law against selling | liqu c i wat thy, trust that they will, at least, look | ®ter the patrons of these accursed piaces, | On Sunday evening, poor victim of run- was seen staggerin ast the C eer g Pe 2 Convent, aud had De Ted home. La writing these lines I do | not wish to cast any reflsction on the Scott | Act, for I believe if the Act was enforced | as itshould be, we should have less lawlesa- ness end fewer drnukards graves.

Cardigan Notes.

The favorable weather this season has enabled the farmers of this vicinity to put in one of the largest crops that has been planted for some time.

Mesers. Morson & Morgan shipped over 27 ,000 bushels of oats in the barque Isobel, this spring. The owners of the Isobel were put to considerable expense owing to the wharves at this place not having sufficient water to load ships drawing over 13 feet uf water. The necessity of having the services of the Dominion dredge was made evident in this case. The mud has accumulated at the Government wharf until very little over 12 feet of water can be found at ordin- ary high tides. Several petitions have been forwarded the Dominion Government, ask- ing that the dredge be sent to this River ; but up to the present time, although the people were promised that the dredge would be sent, nothing has been done to remedy this grievance. ‘The attention of Mr. A. C. Macdonaled is called to this mat- ter, with ine hope that he will use every exertion to give Cardigan this much-needed improvement. With so fine a River it isa great pity not to have accommodation at the wharves for large ships,

The schooner Lily A W has been employ- ed this spring by James E, McDonald, Esq., in carrying away cattle, potatoes and other produce, and sailed last Tuesday on her second trip. Among the cattle shipped were some very fine animals, especially those fed by William Gordon, Esq., Brudenell, and Frederick G. Bovyer, Esy., Georgetown Royalty. Mr. Gordon’s bull, weighing 2,050 pounds, was an excellent animal, showing good fi-rm as well as large size. Mr. Bovyer’s pair of under three year old oxen tipped the scale at 2,400 pounds and were choice stock. Messrs. Gordon and Bovyer are enterprising and successful farmers and are doing a great deal to improve the stock raised in this vicinity.

We regret that we have to report that several robberies of a daring and successful nature have recently been perpetrated in this neighborheod. The greatest loser is Mr. Donald Matheson, of 5‘. Peter's Road, Lot 53, from whom money to the amount of over $100 was stolen this week. The loss was not discovered for a day or two, the thief having left the pocket book that contained the money in the pocket of a pair of trousers which hung in Mr. Matheson’s bedroom. in which Mr. Matheson had placed it on Sunday morning. Suspicion has been fixed on one David Brydon, who was at Mr. Matheson’s residence on Sunday afternoon when the family were away to church. Bryden was arrested on Thurs- day morning, and taken before William P. Lewis and George FB. Owen, J. P.’s, but was released on bail until the 25th inst., in order that further evidence might be col- lected. A daring atiempt was also made on Monday, the 8th instant, at 1.30 o’clock, a. m, to break into the store of J. F. Norton. Mr. Norton was sleeping in the building at the time, and when the robber who had broken a pane of glass in one of the windows with a stone, found that the building had some one in it, he suddenly left. Mr. Norton waited until daylight, and then tracked the person to his home. No action has been taken in this matter as the same person who is accused of taking Mr. Matheson’s money, is believed to be the one who made this attempt at house breaking.

A Tracepy,—-A Bathurst despatch to the St. John Sun says: A fatal accident occurred at New Bandon on Wednesday, resulting in the death of Wm. Eddy, an old resident. It appears that after leaving dinner, Mr. Eddy

went out to work on his farm, and not returning to supper search was made, and his dead body was fouad

Made in the Dominion—no other mill having the machinery on which to make it.

Our Yarn is, consequently, very much superior for weaving purposes to any other in the market—a fact which is well known to those who have used it for the past TWENTY YEARS.
