\the absence of a number of the members,

tbeydoud the. appointment of a Committee, consisting of Mr. McKenzie, Mr. Munn and Hon. Mr. Wightinan, to prepare an address to Hlis Honor the Licutenaat Governor, in frenly to his Speech.

| ‘The Uouse met at three o'clock and ap

pointod the usual standiug committees.

Alr. Mokxnzin, from the Committee ap- pointed to prepare an address to His Honor the Lieutenant Governor, in reply to his speech, presented the following draft there- of, which was read and made the order of the day for Monday next :—

To His Honor Sir Robert Hodgson, Knight, Lieutenant Governor of the Province of Prince Edward Island, &e., d&e., de.

May tr PLEASE Your Howor,—We, the members of the Legislative Council, convened in General Assembly, offer Your Honor our thanks for the speeeh with which you opened the present session, and our congratulations on the measure of health and strength en- joyed by Your Honor.

We are pleased that your Honor has been enabled to callus together for the discharge of our Legislative duties at an earlier period than usual.

It is extremely gratifying to us to know that

he arrival of His Exeellency the. Marquis of

Lorne was hailed with acclamation, and we

rejoice at the universal manifestations of wel-

come which greeted His Excellency and Her

Royal Highness Princess Louise, showing i-

controvertible evidence of the deep fecling of

loyalty and attathment of the people of the

Dowinion to our most gracious Sovereign.

We hearti'y concur in the belief expressed by your Honor’s Government with respect to the right of this Province to a portion of the amount awarded under the Fishery Articles of the Treaty of. Washington, aud trust that the claim so promptly brought to-the notice of the General Govornment will be acknow!- edged.

We readily perceive. that, with decssasing revennes, strict economy is absolutely reces- sary to keep the expenditure within the re ceipts. ‘That important. retrenchments, have been made, is pleasing intelligence to us, and when measures providivg for tbe reduction of salaries and other, expenses are lal before us, they shall receive ouf.carnest attention.

When the bill providing: for an alteration ia the Constitution by establishing: one. Legis- lative Chamber instead of the existing we branches of the Legislature will be submitted to us, it. shail reccive our most. careful and earnest attention.

We hope the measure to be submitted to us having for its object the abolition of imprison- ment for debt, will be of sucha nature that we may be able to give it our approval.

We are glad to learn that a number of pro- priety estates have been purchased during the year, and that nearly all the leased lands are now vested in the Commissioner, of Public Lands, and that the occupiers are enabled to purchase at liberal prices... _ | -

We hail, with pleasure, the announcement of the satisfactory working of the Public Schools’ Act, 1877, and consequent gratifying increase in the number of schools in operation and inthe number of children attending the same. ‘The sincere.desire of the people in the country Districts for, success in the cause of education has be¢n amply proven by. the im- proved accommodation. provided, while the zeal and enérgy displayed by the Scliool Board

in Charlottetown. and Summerside in the matter of school buildings

have conferred a boon on the inhabitants.

A proposition to amalgamate the Prince of Wales College and Normal School, which, while retaining the efficiency of those institu- tions, will reduce their annual cost,shall receive our favorable consideration

It is a matter of regtct that the small-pox appeared in Alberton last autumn, and that the measures adopted by the local Board of Health to prevent the spread of the disease have proved ineffectual. The isolation of. the patients and the appointinent of a, medical gentleman for their special care at the public expense will, we trast, be suceessful. The establishment of Boards of Health and the appointment of Superintendents of Vaccination in the principal villages of Prince County were proper precautions for preventing the further spread of the disease.

We cordially unit? with your Honor in the earnest hope that o-: deliberations will,under Divine Providence, tend to’ the prosperity of the people of this Province.

Adjourned until Monday next.

Harl Dufferin.

The London correspondent of the Scots- man writes :—‘* The appointmert of Lord (Dufferin as British Ambassador at St. | Petersburg has disappointed some anticipa- tions. In political circles the expectation ee that Lord” Dufferin wo-'d go to Con ,stantinople, that Sir Augustus Page would succeed Lord A. Loftus at it. Petersburg, land that Sir Henry Layard would be trans- ‘ferred to Rome. It is well known that Sir H. Layard desires the Italian.mission. It appears, however, that.he has not quite finished Lord Beaconsfield’s work at Con- stantinople.”

A Constantinople dispatch © says «the Greek Archbishop of Adrianople has been beaten to death by some Bulgarians. The Greeks in Constantinople are indignant, and 3,000 of them have requested of the Patri- arch permission to attend the funeral.

; THE

Public Works Report.

POSITION OF THE PACIFIC RAILWAY

FROM END TO END.

The most important paragraph of the

'report of the Minister of Public Works is

that which deals with the Pacific railway, and it is as follows :— “The Canadian Pacific Railway is projected to commence from a point at or near the south- eastern angle of Lake Nipissing. Construction has commenced at the Kiver | aministiquia, Lake Superior, about three nules from its mouth. Running in a northwesterly direction the line passes to the torth of Lae des Mille Lecs, whence it procccds to the north of Lakes Wabigoon and Vamiltion. The line then passed to the River Winnipeg,’which it crosses at Rat Portage, the point of dis- charge of the Lake of the Woods. Thence the line proceeds to Selkirk on the Red River. Beyond this point construction has not yet commenced. The. Pembina branch extends southward from the main line at Selkirk,-to Emerson at the boundary line, where, it ¢on- nects with the St. Paul and St. Vincent Rail- way in the State of Minnesota, 544 miles.. The works on the section between Fort William and English River, 113 miles, are so far _ad- vanced that rails have been laid to the 102nd mile, aud the line ballasted. to the €0th mile —December, 1878. The line between English River and Keewatin, 155 miles, has been_re- examined and its location amended. This work is now being placett under contract. From Keewatin to Cross Lake is 36 miles. This section is under construction. Half of the rock excavation and a large quantity of earth-work has been executed. . On the section from Cross Lake to Selkirk, 76 miles, the grading and bridging are com- pleted. At the eastern end a heavy em- bankment remains unfinished. It is antici pated that it will shortly be completed. The rails have been laid for 75 miles. A centract has been given out for the engine house at Sel- kirk. On the Pembina branch 22 mile is com. pleted, viz., from Selkirk to St. Boniface. On the remaining distance, 63 miles, to Emerson the rails are laid, but the river crossings have been effected by temporary structure ultimate- ly tobe made permanent.. In_ the , ensuing sumiper the line will be pallasted.

‘Qn the Ganada Central extension, 120 miles, 37 miles have been located. Of this ex- tent 25 miles are under construction and much of the work periurmed; the remaining, distance bas yet to be located: ‘This line extending from Pembroke to Lake Nipissing, . is.beu coustructed under a subsidy not to . excee $1,410,009... Tho Georgian. Bay Branch, 50 miles, extends from South diver, Lake Nipis- sing, to. Canim’s Bay, . French River.. contract for grading, bridging, track-laying and ballasting was signed on the 2nd NAGA, 1878. The coutractors have done httle beyon delivering supplies. we

{n British Columbia, in the summer of 1878, the location between Ezory’s Bar, 56 miles be- low Yale, and Savona’s ferry at the foot. of Kamloops Lake, a distance of 125. miles, was revised and improved. These examinations have established that the River Fraser.can be best crossed six miles below Litton. A con- siderable reduction of cost in the estimates has been effected between Spéncer Bridge and Kamloops Lake, The location survey has been carriéd north. of Kamloops Lake, by which the line has been’ shortened 3} miles, the curvature reduced, and the work light ened.” ge

A habitual drunkard’s bill has been. in, troduced. in. the British Parliament...1t gives to local authorities, power to license retreats for habitual drunkards, imowhich dipsomaniacs may be forcibly. retained: But the remarkable condition ‘of detention is that the applicant shall himself have or- dered and approved his own imprisonment. He must ¢o before a justice of the peace, prove that he is a habitual drunkard, es- tablish that he knows exactly what he is doing, and sign the command for his own detention, in the” presence of the magis- teate. He must. even, fix for himself .the term of his punishment. In faet, he angst use his liberty in order to resign it. Buty, once in, he is caged until his time is up, aw effectually as if he had been sentenced ‘to gaol by a magistrate. When the fit of re- pentance passes off, and the old thirst ré- vives, he will desire to leave again. But then he will be told that stone walls do make a prison. In this way experts believe that the alinest uncontrollable spirit of the dipsomaniac can be brought under subjec- tion ; but as yet no statistics are obtainable on the subject.

PO NI tt The Death-rate of

Our country is getting to be fearfully al- arming, the average of life being lessened every year, without any reasonable cause, . death resulting generally from the most in-, significant origin, At this season of the» year, especially, a cold is sueh a common thing that in he 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, Bus- ehee’s German Syrup has proven itself to be . the greatest discovery of its kind in medi- . cine. Every Druggist in this country will tell you of its wonderful effect. Over 950,- 000 bottles sold last year without.a single., failure known. os ne Ct, A heartless.
