Local and Other items,

Tue Princess of Wales arrived from Point Du Chene and Summerside at noon yesterday.

Tus steamer Prince Edward sailed for Pic- tov at noon to-day to discharge the balance of her cargo and take a supply of coal.

We had a new moon yesterday morning. The weather then being unusually mild, we will, no doubt, have open weather till De- cember.

Tus steamer ‘* Princess of Wales” brought over from Point du Chene during the past week, two thousand four hundred and forty four barrels flour. :

Mr. Eowarp Wyatt, of this city, passed a very creditable examination before John Caven, Esq., preparatory to entering the office of Messrs. Hodgson & McLeod, as a law student.

We learn that Mr. J. J. Chappell has been appointed to the office in the Railway Department vacated by Mr. J. W. McLeod. Mr. Chappell will, we have no doubt, prove a worthy and painstaking official.

Tue steamer M. A. Starr arrived from Hal- ifax yesterday with a cargo of general mer- chandize and Mr. W. A. Hutchinson, wife and child, and five seamen, passengers. She will take freight and sail on her return trip this evening.

Mr. ALEXANDER McDOoNALD, sub-editor of the Argus, was early this morning united in matrimony to Miss M. A. Ryan. We cordially congratulate the happy pair, and wish them every earthly happiness, as ‘‘hand in hand through life they go.”

‘“‘BeTrER late than never” was not alto- gether applicable to the case of a newly-mar ried young man who was about to start on his bridal tour this morning, and who had the misfortune to see the 6.25 train glide off with his bride, and he unable to overtake it.

A Crry correspondent asks us to ‘‘ kindly comment on the conduct of two or three girls who walk up and down Queen street after tea and insult ladies who pass there.” He says his wife and sister have been insulted several times by the same parties, and if it happens again he will publish their names.

Waite Mr. William Noonan, of Albany, Lot 27, was returniug from Crapaud with a horse aud cart on Tuesday night last, his horse took fright,andran away,upsetting the cart and throwing Mr. Noonan out. The Progress says the box of the cart fell upon the man’s body, aud when found in the morning, he was dead. Deceased leaves a wife and smell family.

Perer McNett, who killed Hector Mce- Neill, in such a brutal manner recently at Washabok, Cape Breton, is in jail at Baddeck. The prisoner is a perfect specimen of a man of violent nature. His manner of speech is coarse and brutal and he is said to have de- clared that he is ‘‘sorry he had not the chance to kill his man two or three times over.”

DrowNeEp AT ALBFRTON.—On Friday last as,

the master of a bark owned by John A. Mathe- son, Campbellton (whose name we have been unable to learn), was out shooting in company with a man named Wells, in Cascumpec Har- bor, the boat accidentally upset. Wells, in attempting to swim ashore, was drowned. The othet man climbed upon the bottom of the boat and was rescued in an unconscious condition.

“A Bricur Ovr.oox,” ‘Brisk times,” ‘‘Business tushing,” etc., are phrases the weight of which have been seldom felt, or their meanings properly understood within the past five years. But now, when we hear of ten marriage publications in one Church of a Sunday, it is impossible for us to continue without feeling the weight and know- ing the meaning of the first, if not the remain- ing of these phrases.

Tur Great Nortu Westr.—The well known traveller; Dr. Lauchlin Taylor, of Toronto, whose Lectures on Eastern travel are well remembered in Charlottetown, will deliver a Lecture next Monday evening, December 2nd, in the Hall of the Young Men’s Christian As- sociation of this city, on ‘‘Manitoba, Sas Katchewan and the Great-North West.” Dr. Taylor is at present in Halifax as one of the Special Committee for the Reception of the Marquis of Lorne; and during his visit to the Maritime Provinces will deliver several lec-

tures. t

Wit11AM Moorg, a native of this city, was horribly mangled on the railway track between Boston and Worcester on Tuesday night last. He was employed by the Boston Waterworks Company at Farmingham, Mass., and was run over in that town. One of hislegs was carried 24 miles on the track beam of the passenger train, from Boston to Worcester. His body was terribly mangled and portions of it were strewen for 30 feet along the track. The

oung man is, we learn, theson of Mr. Joseph ‘Moore, pensioner, St. Peter’s Road.

On Saturday evening about half-past seven o’clock, a daring attempt was made to rob the store of Messrs E. & B. Smith of a case of boots. The robber entered the front door of the store, and seized a case containmg three or four dozen pairs of boots, and made off across Queen Street. A girl who was in the shop at the time, quickly followed him, shout- ing lustily for the police, There was a large number of people on the Street at the time, and the thief, in order to make his escape, dropped the box, and disappeared in the dark- ness of Richmond Street. No trace of him has yet been found.

Tue bird’s-eye view of Charlottetown is now completed, and Messrs. J. J. Stoner and W. R. Patchen will immediately commence the delivery of the copies subscribed for. .We have examined the picture, and find it to sur- pass in neatness, correctness of, plan and gen- eral duty, anything of like nature that we have had brought before us. Charlottetown should indeed feel proud of this lithographic

roduction, and every house in the city should ve hanging on its walls a picture where all the buildings, streets, avenues, ete., are so correctly and fimely located. The sum of $500 waa expended in order to bring this view to its perfect condition, and our citizens will not fail to appreciate the labor that has been done for them. Mr. Patchen informs us that only a few extra copies were printed; so if. anyone who is not a subscriber wishes to obtain one, he will have to procure them at the present time.

City Council! To the Editor of th SIR

Kvaminer: *.

; Can not the City Fathers do some- oning to prevent those itinerant vendors of shoddy fancy goods, &c., from prosecuting their business in this City, at a great loss to uur own citizens? About this season of the year we are visited with persons of this class, who are anxious to dispose of their bank- rupt (?) stock at low prices.

{s it not too bad that. our own merchants must suffer the loss of trade occasioned by the tlooding of the market with worthless trash ? "he times have been, goodness knows, bad enough during the past year or two, and it is only right that our own people should be ** protected ” against impositions of this kind ? Why will not our worthy Mayor and Council levy a tax upon those temporary sellers and compel them to pay into the City treasury an amount similar to that exacted in the other Provincial towns ?

The Civic exchequer is sadly in need of funds, and it is to be hoped it may be slightly replenished in this manner. Yours,

A SuFFERER. Ch’town, Nov. 25, 1878.

Parson Brown: His Talk; or Evenings with Parson Brown. By an old acquaintance. Charlottetown, 1878.

This work has just been issued from. the Nonparieil Printing Office. It is a neat pub- lication. It deals with great mysteries of humanity and Christianity. In style it is very peculiar. It will, doubtless, be widely read. We have not yet had time to peruse it atten- tively ; but we note that the Rev. J. V. Jost certifies that it is ‘‘not a rehash of other men’s opinions; but the result of the authors deep, vigorous thinking, and is eminently original.’,

Ar the Stipendiary Magistrate’s Court this forenoon, Frank McLeod, drunk and incapa- ble, was‘fined $2 and costs or eight days. S. McKinnon, drunk and sleeping in a yard on Saturday evening, was fined the same. Michael Began appeared on summons for as- saulting Joseph Hogan while he was at work on the Boston steamer, on Wednesday last. Joseph charged that Began struck him with a potato in the eye. His witness failed to sub- stantiate the charge, and the case was dis- missed. Joe protests that that witness was bribed. :

Tae English papers just arrived say that Dr. Newman is to be made a Cardinal, as Dr. Cullen’s successor. But one writer says :—‘* Those who do know something on the subject believe that the late Cardinal’s assistant, Dr. McCabe, will be his succes- sor, and that no sensational appointment whatever will be made. Dr. MacCabe is, I believe, a very good type of the respectable lrish Parish Priest, and nothing more. He has never been accused of intellectual bril- liancy or undiscovered greatness of an kind; but he is a good administrator, and was the protege of the late Cardinal, which may not be much in his favour with the Dublin priests, but may be a recommenda- tion at Rome. Failing him, the Cardinal’s nephew, Bishop Moran, is named as the, new archbishop. Dr, Moran was the execu- ter of the Caréinal’s policy in the country, and has earned favour by his energy in sup- pressing the well-known Father O'Keefe.”

Tae St. John Telegraph remarksthat the coming of the Marquis of Lorne as Governor General of Canada, and of the Princess Louise, recalls the Governorship of the Duke of Richmond, who was, in one sense, connected with royalty,and who was of higher rank than any of his predecessors or successors. Indeed, he finally succeeded to two other Dukedoms, that of Lennox, in Scotland, and that of Aubigny, in France. This Duke was descended from an illegiti- mate son of Charles U1., and he won some notoriety while he was simply Col. Lennox, by his duel, fought at Wimbledon with the Duke of York, one of the many sons of George II. The Duke of Richmond had been Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and bee came Governor General of Canada in 1818. He died suddenly on August 28th, 1819, of hydrophobia, caused by the bite of a tame fox which he was caressing. The Acadian
