TETOWN, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND,

f Written for the Examiner.

Cape Tormentine.

Lone Cape, how oft on sammer’s eve, | From yon fair Island’s red-clift shore, | lve watched the Gulf her blue waves heave— Far landward, with a sullen roar; And marked day’s dying light recline— Across thy brow fair Tormentine.

| Of't midnight watcher on lone barque, | Has seen thy bright light glint the wave, | As far out seaward through the dark tt reached —as warning hand to save— , Some crew, else hungry Death may line With sailor’s graves, Cape Tormentine. But Tormentine, on thy lone cliff, When Winter's breath swept o’er the Jand, And massive ice-fields surge and drift Upon the rough Northumberland; The friend I loved breathed his last breath, And yielded to the conqueror—Death.

He left his Island home one morn, He left it, but at was to die; Death watched that young and manly form, With cruel, unrelentless eye; And when he reached New Brunswick’s_ soil. Enwrapt hin in his icy coil.

*Twixt him and home ‘‘a great gulf lay,” And ice-bergs clashed, and fierce waves

rolled, While thickening storm, and high-tossed spray,

A sad and solemn requiem tolled, A mother dare not cross to press, A dying boy to her fond breast.

While he with death-dimmed eyes might see Through yonder lattice, far away,

The home where he with boyish glee Had whiled his youthful hours away;

His father’s home, his native land,

Just o’er the rough Northumberland.

And when he knew that he must die, He asked that in the sweet spring-time, Some flowers on his grave might lie, That blossomed in his native clime; A little blossom from Some dell On that dear Isle he loved so well.

A few short miles—yet, oh, so far; The brayest.dare not eross that Strait, The loving hearts, with Hope’s faint star; And tearful eyes the message wait Till by electric fluid sped— The direful words :—your boy is dead.

That. dying boy I seem to see, And saddened awe I can’at restrain, When’er my thoughts may turn to thee; At every mention-ef thy name Gloomy and dark seems “very line That marks thy bounds (ape Tormentine.

Sir John McDonald.

) GOLPWIN SMITHS “GPINION:

Goldwin Smith lately wrote a letter tothe Toronto Mail, in which he says :—

‘* Of the personal question between the two leaders, most people have had enough. The statesman whom the nation has. just, by .an overwhelming. vote of confidence, placed at its head is ‘daily denounced as a trickster, a liar, a perjurer, a coward, a man steeped ‘un every kindof infamy, by the personal organ of his rival; but the voice of such an organ is not the voice of history. The paramount ability ef Sir John McDonald no one can deny; and, when we are in serious difficulties, this is no small consideration. He is not a ‘coward,’ for he leads his party boldly in the open. field; and he is now, not delivering prolix narratives~of his own achievements in a past generation, but grappling vigorously with the present diffi- culties of the country. In the fierce strug- gle for power he has done things which, it is to be hoped, for the sake of his own reputation and the honor of Canada, he will never be led to do again. But he has done nothing so bad as the deliberate revival of the party strife for a selfish object, after Confederation, when all real cause for such divisions was at an end and the nation was united and at peace. From that crime-have flowed all the crimes which the reawakened spirit of party, on both sides, has committed since.”

The Vice-Rega! Tour.

The Moncton Limes says: His Excellency the Marquis of Lorne and the Princess Louise are about to commence an extended tour designed to enable them to become better acquainted with Canada and it§ people, His Excellency and. Her Royal Highness will first visit Montreal, where they will witness and participate in the celebration of the Queen’s Birthday. Thence they will go to Quebec, where they will remain for some time —probably till about the middle of June —and then visit the Maritime Pr>- vinces. We presume they will spend a few days in St. John and a longer peried in Halifax. They will undoubtedly be warmly welcomed everywhere, though we should suppose that the feeling in Quebec might be eflected. to'somie extent by His Exeellency’s action, soon. to be taken, no doubt, onthe Letellier difficulty.

We trust that the Marquis and. his ilk lustrious consort will have a pleasant visit} and of this we are’ sure, they will every- where meet with abundant evidences of the loyalty and deep-seated affection of -the Canadian people for the Throne ‘and Goy- ernment of the beloved Monarch whom they represent. wei cae

Correspondence.

Ba” We do not hold ourselves responsible for the staements or opinions of our correspondents.

County Courts.

To the Editor of the Hxaminer.

Sir,—- In your last evening’s issue I see a letter by a Mr. H. ©. McDonald. I regret that “he should have theught it necessary to rush into print as an apologist of the Courts, for certainly nething was further from my thoughts than of attacking the County Ceurt or any of its officers. The remarks in my letter were werely made with the view for the public convenience, that as in New Brunswick an inferior jurisdiction should exist here, so that many of the trifling cases that are now thrown into the County Court —swelling up the numbers to some eight hundred— (many of them not requiring a legally-bred Judge), should not be taken there, and thus inconvenience all concerned—the Judge, clerks, plaintiffs, defendants and witnesses. What I stated respecting the County Court being a charge on the Provincial revenue, I made from memory. But I am quite sure that I saw published by authority a state- ment showing that the receipts at the Treasury were not equal to what was charged as paid ont for these Courts. Pos- sibly in this amount might be ineluded some incidental charges which Mr. McDon- ald rmght not have knowledge of, or per- haps he is right that the returns for the last quarter of the year might not have been paid in when the statement I allude to was published. But I still adhere to what I stated, that as the County Court was

established to take up all the cases heretofore disposed of by the old Small Debt Courts, and also of

the cases disposed of in a summary manner by the Supreme Court, which cost nothing to the revenue ; that not one dollar should be taken from the Provincial revenue to uphold these Courts, particularly as the Is- land had, on entering into Confederation, thére is no doubt, deducted from its sub; sidy the.sum that the Judges’ salaries

amounted to-;,and therefore that the sub- |

sidy to this Islatid was less by. that sum ; and besides the Provititial revenue has been dipped into to the tune of ‘some thousands of dollars for houses for the a:-conmedation of these Courts. This I do not object to," as these buildings are frequently used for public meetings, and I suppose the Magis- trates use them for their courts occasionally; but I would remark that no such accommo- dation was provided in the olden time for the old Small Debt Court, for it is within my recollection having to attend some of these Courts in the country as a witness more than once ; and I remember on one occasion the Court was held Jin the kitchen of a long room in a goud old farmer’s house, and while judgment was being administered in one end of the room, the old lady was preparing dinner (I suppose for the Judges) in the other ; and the noise being made by the servant stirring up potatoes with a broom handle preparatory to washing, I could not but think the Court must have been considerably interrupted by it. 1 therefore think the erection of Court Houses at the expense of the country was a necessity that ought to have been provided for even in the days when the courts were not presided over by a legally bred Judge. Yours, etc., A Crvizen.

Ch’town, May 20, 1879,

P. 8.—The remarks made as to the cost of these Courts and receipts from them are not intended to apply to the County Courts of Queen’s County, but of the whole three Counties. Yours, ete., _

Rev. D. G. McDonald, the popular Pastor | :

of the Baptish Church of this city, took his departure this morning for Wolfville. After spending a few days there he intends travelling through parts ef the Dominion and the United States, on business in con- nection with the denominotion, and will, we understand, be absent for one year, when he will D. V., return and resume his charge here. The Rev. gentleman carries with him the affections of his church, as well as the esteem of the various denomina- tions of this city and Island generally. We feel sure that the denomination on the Island will deeply feel his loss. Rey. H. Foshay accep's the charge of the church during Mr. DicDonald’s absence, and will enter upon the charge on Sabbath 8th June. In the meantime the pulpit will be supplied ou next Sabbath by Rev. J. B. Woodland Pastor of the Baptist Church at Cavendish, and the following Sabbath by Rev. F. Kidson :-—Patriot.

A Farat Miszaxe.—Dr. Rose and Mr. Canfield drank two glasses of whiskey in a drug store in Alliance, Ohio, and found it so good that they called for more. As they raised the glasses again the physician said, ‘‘ Here’s your good health.” ‘Oh, don’t say that,” said Canfield, ‘‘ consider your business and wish this stuff may make me sick. They drank, and within an hour both were dead, the druggist having given them poison by mistake.
