Tare Methodist General Conference at Montreal conelnded its labors, and adjourned on the 23rd inst.

Mr. Lanervin.—The Canadien, Mr. Lan- gevin’s organ, says : -We learn that several deputies of the district of Quebec have offered to resign their seats to make place for the Hon. Mr. Langevin, who will cer- tainly be called to form part of the new administration.

Streamsuir ‘*Prince Edward,” Robert Fraser, to Peake Bros. & Co., with a cargo of genera! merchandize from Liverpool, ar- rived here on the 26th inst., 135 days. Captain Fraser reports having experienced very heavy weather, with strong head winds, during the whole passage.

A complimentary dinner to Mr. Thomas White, M. P. was given at the Windsor Hotel, Montreal, on the 23rd inst. It was conducted on temperance principles. Mr. White’s speech, it is said, was a mas- ter'y exposition of the principles and policy upon which the elections were won.

Now it is the St. John Telegraph which says ‘‘Mr. Pope, of P. E. Island, will doubtless be a member of the new Adminis- tration.” The Moncton Times, too, says : ‘We think that Pope, of P. E. Island, wili have a seat in the new Cabinet.” Mr. Pope’s ability and the Island’s right seem to be generally recognized.

Ir is stated that Judge Wilkins has resigned his seat on the Nova Scotia Bench, and that Hon. P. C. Hill and Robert L. Wetherbee are applying for the vacancy. The appointment of either of them would be most offensive to the great majority of the people of Nova Scotia. The Gover. nor General will probably refuse to assent.

I. O. O. F.—A number of the Oddfellows of this city and Portland are making ar- rangements for paying a visit to Summer- side and Charlottetown on the occasion of the opening of the Provincial Exhibition in Summerside, on the 4th of October. The fare from St. John to Summerside and re- turn being only $2.50, a great many will, no*doubt avail themselves of the oppor- tunity to visit the Isiand.—St. John Tel.

Excurston TO SuMMERSIDE.—The people of Hillsboro have arranged an excursion from Hopewell, A. C., and St. John, to Summerside, P. E. I., to take place on Wednesday, the 2nd October, at which time the Provincial Exhibition of P. E. Island will be held. It is understood that the Odd Fellows are considering the matter of joining in the excursion from St. John on that occasion. The fare from St. John and retarn is only 82.59, and excursionists may return either Thursday or Friday.—St. John News.

Cricker.—The match between the Garri- son Club of Halifax and the Pheenix Cricket Club of this city, is now going on. The Garrison went in first and scored rapidly— only four wickets falling for 94. The re- mainder feil as quickly, and the total score at 12.30 came to 115, of which only 4 were extras. The highest scores on Garrison side were: Capt. Loughey, 39, and Mr. Cummings, 31. The Phenix sent Disney and Yeo tothe wickets, but the former was bow!ed shortly for one run, and at 2.30, 3 wichets were down for 20. McLeod and Yeo are in at the time of writing.

Here in Canada, where labor has hither- to been scarce, we have heard very little of the co-operative principle, the association of laborers and mechanics together, in order to carry out great works, but in Europe, where the principle has been successfully embodied. in action, it has a prominent place in the possible dynamics which shall control the future. ‘‘ Stronger than the sword,” says a writer in the Nineteenth Century, ‘and loftier than charity, co- operation gives to iabor an abiding grasp of its fruits, and supersedes benevolence by rendering the tsulmateiods independent of it. _ It seeks that organization of labor and intelligence in which it shall be impossible for the industrious to be depraved, or mean, or poor, except by their own choice or their own act, which can bring no scan- dal and no remorse to society, which pro- vides that neither baseness nor misery shall be any longer the necessity of their condition.”

Opirtvary.—li is with sincere sorrow | that we have to record the death of our true friend, Alexander McLean, Esquire, of Portage, Belfast, which occurred on the 19th inst. He was born in Snizort Parish, Isle of Skye, Scotland. Thence to this Island he emigrated in August, 1829, From 1843 onward for eight or nine years he represented Belfast im the House of Asséimbly. For a number of years he also, with ability, filled the positions of Magis- trate, Custom-house officer and Coroner. His remains were followed to their last resting-place by a large number of friends on foot and in 150 carriages. A large- hearted and talented man, he was a kind and affectionate husband and father, a good neighbor and a useful member of society. The poor will miss and long remember a charitable friend and kind benefactor. He was for many years up till his decease a member of the Presbyterian Church. He leaves a sorrowing widow and eleven chil- dren to mourn their loss, ‘‘ but not as those without hope.”

We are very sorry to hear of the death by diptheria of another of the sons of David McClure, Esq., Murray Harbor North. ‘The two young men of high pro- mise were cut down by the fell destroyer within two weeks. The sorrowing parents

QUEBEC, Sept. 23.

The greatest triumph in the Quebec dis- trict was Caron’s reception, which took place to-day. He was escorted through all

/ the county by at at least two thousand five

hundred vehicles. Caron’s reception in all the parishes was a series of ovations.

In Strochs, the chateau fort of the ranges, an immense and enthusiastic meeting on the return of Mr. Caron’s friends was held. Speeches were delivered by M. M. Caron, Blancher, Vall and Valin, the Conservative ‘elect member for the county of Montmo- rency.

The Elections and the United States.

UNITED Srates papers generally regard the result of the Canadian Elections as a misfortune to their country. respecting it are briefly summed wp in the following paragraph clipped from the Boston Advertiser :—

‘* Americans are somewhat interested in the result. So far as itis a mere question of interest and not of principle, we stand to Canada in something like the relation Eng- land bears to us. No doubt the present Ca- nadian tariff is to a_ certain extent in our favor. That is, it is in favor of all countries trading with Canada, and in our favor es- pecially as her nearest neighbor. We have largely increased our salesin the Provinces, particularly in recent years, and as prices now stand we can gain largely upon Great Britain in the contest for that market. The Conservative papers term the present scale of customs duties ‘ the pro-American tariff.” It would be for our advantage, in some respects, that it shouid be reduced stilllower. Yet, it has worked injury to Canada. It has shut up many factories al- ready established, and has prevented the establishment of others. Trade has lan- guished. A part of the depression has been due to sympathy with our own markets,but even that has arisen partly out of the work- ing of the tariff. Asa new country, need- ing to build itself up without the injurious competition of near or distant neighbors, Canada will be compelled to revise her tariff, or to press, as she has often done be- fore, for trade treaties, which will be still more favorable to her.”

~ aD ee - - A Horrible Death.

A more horrifyimg accident than that which happened at the Intercolonial Railway Station, St. John, recently, has seldom occurred. Shortly before the Moncton special train left, the conductor, asusual, called out ‘‘all aboard,” and a number got on the train. Just after this the engine bell rang, and at this time Samuel Pine, of Moacton, was sitting on the rail of the first-class car, next the van. Im- mediately after the sounding of the gong the engine started, and the usual rapid movement of each car occurred. By the sudden motion Pine, who was sitting on the rail of the car, was precipitated between the cars, falling with his back on the rail. His fall was observed by several persons in the depot who rushed fran- tically towards the engine shouting ‘‘stop.” One person on the train perceiving the cause of the commotion, pulled the rope and the train came to a stand-still, but not until the last car had passed over Pine’s body, When Pine fell he was thrown on his back and the wheels passed from about the knee of the left leg across the right leg andabdomen. As each wheel of the cars passed over the uwun- fortunate man’s remains, the sound. of cracking bones was heard with painful distinctness, and many of the horrified spec- tators were rooted to where they stood. When lanterns were brought to the scene of the accident a most shocking and horrifying sight was presented to ti

Their ideas

he view of all. Stretched across the rails lay Pines mangled remains nearly severed in two, his legs being in the position in which he had fallen, while the body, from the thighs upwards, was turned over, face downwards. Between the rails ran a large poo! of blood, which was also plentiful on the outside of the rails. Large pieces of human flesh were scattered along the track in a horrible manner. The spectacle was one that wil! never be forgotten by any who were present. _- —— —--— ~--——— 4¢- Dee 9 — -—— Enjoy Life.

REDUCTION IN PRICE! NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC!

TEXHE 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 opening 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,

very superior quality and condition of the SYDNEY COAL now offered for sale.

it is a well-know fact that for many years past the prices of other Cape Breton coals have been 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 COAT, it is no less true that, taking into account the superior lastin qualities of SYDNEY COAL when compar 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 agaimst 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 SY DNEY 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 sTanpAaRD character of SYDNEY COAL.

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

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

The ‘* Sydney Coal-” is registered under the laws of the Dominion, and unanthorized parties using the Trade Mark “SYDNEY COAL” are liable to prosecution. CUNARD & MORROW, Agents G: M. A., Halifax, N. 8.
