A HEAVY snowstorm raged in the eastern part of the Island last night. The train which left Souris this morning has not yet reached St. Peter’s, and the train Georgetown did not arrive on time.

THe Moncton Times says: ‘* The Prince Edward Island Government does not go abhont the appointment of Justices of the Peace in that reckless manner which charac- terizes some legislative bodies that we know of (i. e., no doubt, the N. B. Government.) The Times then gives a list of six Justices of the Peace, recently appointed by the Island Government, and says : ‘* consider- ing that Queen’s, Prince and King’s County comprise the whole of the Island, the list would not appear so very formidable.” But the Times does not look to the fact that, previous to those appointments, there ex- isted over 600 J. P's. Besides this our tight little Island has three Judgesof the Supreme Court, three Judges of the County Court, two Stipendiary Magistrates, and a bar composed of over forty-eight members. Quite enough for a pepulation of 100,000.

A PLOT.

Mr. Harvir, County Jail, fortunately discovered a plot between four of the criminals which would, no doubt, ere long, have been carried out—

the Keeper of Queen’s

and that, if necessary, at the cost of life. The plot originated about a week ago be tween thefprisoners ©’ Reilly and Troy, who aré now in jail awaiting to be transferred to the Provincial Pemtentiary for shop- lifting. The facts of the case, as far as we can glean at present, are: A week ago Mr. Harvie overheard some conversation be- tween the prisoners which denoted that something unusual was ‘‘on the moeve.” About the same time a desperate fight (?) occurred between O'Reilly and Troy. Mr. Harvie, hearing the noise, went to the cell. Troy—the smaller of the two—who ap- peared to be badly beaten, en: treated Mr. Harvie to remove him to another cell as O'Reilly threatened to murder him. He was, accordingly, re- moved to the cell in which Patrick Lamb and John Cavanagh—two prisoners also awaiting to be transferred to the Provincial Penitentiary, for shop-lifting—are incarcer- ated. While the prisoners Troy, Lamb and Cavanagh were together, Mr. Harvie over heard them discussing plans for their escape. From that time he kept a con- tinual watch over their actions. A few days latter he discovered Troy attempting to pass a newspaper to O’Rielly—by means of a cord on the end of which was fastened a piece of coal and the paper. He was swing- ing them from his window on the outside of the building, so as O’Rielly might catch them in the window of hiscell. The paper, however, blew off the string, and fell in the yard. It was immediately picked up by the keeper. On its margin, we under- stand, was a note to the effect that Cay- anagh and Lamb were willing to agsist in carrying out the plans of their escape. The Sheriff and visiting Magistrate were immediately informed of the facts. Yes- terday the Stipendiary Magistrate and Sheriff Watson investigated the master. The prisoners implicated in the plot were searched. Troy, seeing that their plans were foiled, took a note from his pocket, tore it into small pieces and attempted to burn it in the fire; but the officers saved the greater portion of it--only a few pieces being burned. The parts saved were placed together by the Sheriff and Magis- trate. It was a plan of their contemplated escape, written by O'Reilly, and carried by Troy to Lamb and Cavanagh, that they might, no donbt, pass their opinions and

ee to asssist in the escape. In it OReilly stated that “he would sooner

have seven or eight bullets sent through his body than go to ; the Penitentiary ; that with a chisel

and a few other small tools he could cut his way out of Jail, and when out the ** good people ” of Charlottetown would assist in getting his chums—-Troy, Lamb and Cavanagh—out; that Paddy Cavanagh (brother of John, who is now doing a term for larceny) might, as svon as he would get-out, furnish him with the implements necessary; and inform him the best place

t> “get over the Jail fence and be ready to assist outside on the night he would escape ;

and thatif Harvie would come along while he (O'Reilly) would be in the yard he would ‘“vank him.” It is evident that the row between O'Reilly and Troy was nothing more than a piece of deception practiced by them inorder that the Keeper might re- move ‘Troy ; and that, when removed, he might lay their plans before Ca ranagh and Lamb for adoption. Luckly, their plans

are completely foiled, and the quartette have been placed in leg-irows, where they will remain until they are removed to the penitentiary at Dorchester.

Post says Arch- hishop Purcell’s indebtedness will probably veach $6,000,000. The Volksyreind, the German Catholic organ, estimates his in- debtedness at $5,000,000 and assets at $50,- 000. Recently a German sued the Arch- bishop for $31,000, money loaned. This is the first suit actually entered.

Count Motrxe has directed the General Staff to make the Afghan war a subiect of speciul study. The German War Office fol- lows the events in Afghanistan with unre- mitting interest, and a particular depart- ment has been instituted to take notice of what is going on, and to report regularly to Count Moltke upon the progress of the campaign.

CARDINAL GurIpI, whose death is announced by a cable dispatch, was born at Bologna, July 18, 1815; entered the Dominican Order, became Bishop of Frascati many years ago, was created Cardinal Priest March 16, 1863, Archbishop of Bologna December 21, 1863, and he was quite recently elevated to the rank of Cardinai Bishop. His Eminence was titular Abbot of San Sisto and Prefect of the Congre- gation of Ecclesiastical Immunity. At the Vatican Council he was one of the few Itahan Cardinals who endeavored, in his own language, ‘‘to attenuate the declarative terms of the dogma of Papal Infallibility.”’

Ix St. John, N. B., recently, a very serious case ended in a shake-hands all round. Jt appears that John White, of Portland, laid information at the Portland police court office against a young man named Alfred B. Scholes, for decoying and abducting from his lawful possession his daughter Jane. A warrant was issued for the arrest of Scholes, who was taken imto custody. The young girl is under 16 years of age, and left her father’s house clandes- tinely during the night of the last terrible srowstorm. Her father heard she was at the house of Schole’s mother, and on the strength of this he made the charge. The young ‘girl, on leaving her home, went straight to Mrs. Scholes, and remained there with her and her daughter all night. It is said the young man and the girl were engaged, but the attachment was against the wishes of her parents, and she says her home was made unhappy to her im conse- | quence. Scholes knew that his affianced thad been harbored at his home, and the only way, he concluded, he could get clear of acharge of abduction was to propose marriage. The girl consented, and they were married by a city clergyman. When taken before Justice Tapley, Scholes pro- duced his marriage certificate, and the father of the bride withdrew the charge and paid the costs. ‘* All’s well that ends well.”

0 The Death-rate of

Our country is getting to be fearfully al- arming, the average of life being lessened every year, without any reasonavle cause, death resulting generally from the most in- significant origin. At this season of the year, especially, a cold is such a common thing that in che hurry of every day life we are apt to overlook the dangers attending it and often find, too late, that a Fever or Lung trouble has already set in. Thou- sands lose their lives in this way every win- ter, while had Bosshee’s German Syrup been taken, a cure would have resulted, and a large bill from a doctor been avoided. For |all diseases of the Throat and Lungs, Dos- chee’s German Syrup has proven itseif_to be the greatest discovery of its kind in medi- icine. Every Druggist in this country will

tell you of its wonderful effect. Over 950,- 000 bottles sold last year without a single failure known.
