Well-tilled farms, snug, well-kept dwellings, along with other unmistakeable evidences of thrift of the owners are to be seen on every hand. Such neighborhoods deserve their fall share of postal accommo- dation.

Fishery Statistics.

The Patriot having expressed some doubts about the reliability of the Inspec- tor’s statistics —- recently published— Mr. Duvar addressed to the Patriot the follow- ing letter :—

** To the Editor of the Patriot.

‘¢Drar Sin,—lI notice in the Patriot of the 29th ult , a brief editorial expressing doubts as to the accuracy of the Fishery Returns re- cently forwarded to the Department of Ma- rine and Fisheries, and asking where the In- spector got his figures ?

‘¢This is a matter on which the public have a right to be inf ymec.

‘The figures were partly collected by my- self in personally visiting the fishing stages, partly supplied by the official fishery wardens resident in the respective districts, and, in a few instances, | am indebted to gentlemen largely engaged in the fisheries for informa- tion not otherwise readily obtainable. The greatest care was taken not in any case to ex- agycrate the yield.

“J. Hunter Douvar, ‘*Iuspector of Fisheries for P. E. 1.’ <3: Qi — The Sugar Beet in Nova Scotia.

It is probable that a Beet Sugar Factory will be established at Colchester County, N.S. The Truro Sun says :-—

“Col. Clair, at the Onslow Agricultural Society's meeting, on Tuesday, said that a company would start the manufacture of sugar from the beets just as soon as they were satisfied that a sufficient area was growing to supply the factory. He also asked for orders from individual farmers for the quantity of seed that they will re- quire, or take, for next season’s sowing, as an effort was being made to import the seed- —a good article--at cost and charges to those wishing to obtain it.”

The Sun says of the beet for feeding pur- poses : —

**As to the quality of the Sugar Beet for ordinary feeding purposes, as compared with the mangolds, ete., etc., opinions differ, many, the majority we think, of those who profess to know, being in favor of the Sugar beet. Of this, however, we may feel certain, that they are excellent food for cattle, even after the sugar is ex- tracted from them.”

— -_-> <> o-- — . _ The Irish Agitation.

The interest in the Parnell agitation re-

mains unabated throughout Ireland. Pub- lic attention at present is being cheifly

pointed to Mr. Parnelli’s Liverpool speech, which is regarded ab’ a direct and bold challenge to the English Government to ar- rest him if they dare. The speech being delivered in England, Mr. Parnell would be tried yy au English jury and an English judge. tis pointed out that Davitt, Daly and Kilfen used no more seditious language but the use of such language is defended by Mr. Parnell’s friends*by reference to pre- cedents in Irish history, such as the mea- sures taken in 1782. In Government cir- cles, apprrently but little importance is at- tached to the agitalion, though it is felt necessary to assert the supremacy of the law by the arrest of those inciting their fol- lowers to deeds af violence. The Govern- ment believes Mr. Parnell’s friends are working entirely for pelitical purwoses; their claims are considered ont of the ques- tion, as {ie Government cannot force land- ords to give up their estates. 0

The London Pall Mall Gezette remarks : “Few, any, of our poss?:sions have a brighter prospect in view than Canada, and the advantages it holds out to settlers have co:uparatively few drawbacks. As. suredly the Canadian climate is not one of these, since, keen as the winters are, the dryness ond wholesome freshness of the air make the far more bearable than the fickle winters ia England. Frost and snow are said io be welcomed asa real blessings in Canada. . ‘‘that means everywhere splendid roads, in- ternal trade, and enhanced social enjoy- ment,”’ garded as the pleasantest part of the year. Canada is the only British Colony, except- ing Queensland and West Australia, that grants lind free to settlers ; and the a/d- vantages offered by Canada when compared with thos» far distant settlements scarcely need to be stated.

David Thompson, Jas. Christopher, Jas. M. Larkins, William Durant, Edward Burke,

Genrtemen,—Allow me to thank you sincerely for the address which you have presented, and to assure you that it aifurds me much satisfactian to meet so many of the residents of Alberton and adojining set- tlements on this the occasion of my first official visit to this Cirenit. As you may infer, I feel flattered to learn that the lead- ing men in this important part of the Coun- ty approve the choice which the Govern- ment was pleased to make in appointing me as the-successor of the late Judge Pope.

Impressed with the responsibility of the trusts committed tome as Judge of this Court, I shall apply myself zealously and faithfully to execute those trusts in a pro- per manner; and the expression of your confidence, as evidenced in this address, suggests an additional reason why [ should desire to do so.

Yours very respectfully, Trromas Ney. Alberton, Dec. 2nd, 1879. -<te-

The tot 19 Hstate.

Tar Progress publishes a report of the remarks made by Mr. Bentley in the House of Assembly, in support of the petition from the people of Lot 19, asking for a reduction in the price of their lands ; and says: We think that Mr. Bentley makesfout a strong case on behalf of the tenants ; and we un- derstand that the matter is now engaging the attention of the Government, and that vranted. The settlers on that portion of Lot 19 which was bought by the Govern-

1ent, before Confederation, have been ex- ceptionally dealt with. They have had to pay the full price paid hy the Govern

ment for their land, per acre, while on the sale of almost every other estate the Government have sustained a_ loss.

Moreover, the tenants on Lot 19 did not receive any benefit whatever- from the $800,000 granted for the purpose of buying out the preprictors, and little or no back rent was remitted to them when the estate vamwe into the hands of the Governinent. Under all the circumstances, therefore, we think that. the Government will only be doing justice to the people of Lot 19 when they make_a reduction in the price of the land.

‘‘ Mr. Bentley deserves credit for the en- ery he has displayed in pressing the inier- esis of his constituents on the attention of the Government. When the Davies party were in power, the people of Lot 19 conid never get their representatives to move in the matter, althongh promises to that effect were freely given.. In this way it bas re- mained fur. Mr. Bentley to obtain for the people of Lot 19, that justice, which long ago, they should have received.”

Says the Londen World :—‘S Who shall

say that literature and its representatives are without honor in England? While Brighton selects Mr. Sala as one of its candidates at the next general election, the Westminster liberals invite Mr. John Morley as the successor of John Stuart | Mill. The compliment is thoroughly de- iserted, and Westminster does not do more ‘honor to the best biographer whom Burke ‘has yet found, than to itself. Mr. John | Morley has steadily strengthened and im- iproved by study naturally great abilities. | He is as earnest as he is industrious and as !accomplished as he is just and fair. Par- i\liamentary practice may very properly de- | velop him into a highly successfui politiciar, ‘Unlike Stuart Mill, Mr. John Morley, if he

lis returned for Westminster, will enter the |the House of Commons as one who owes all his reputation to his pen. Mill, it will be ‘remembered, had a large official experience at the India Office, and it is well known that this circumstance secured him not a ifew votes. Mr. Morley comes before the | Westmimster electors as the representative tof literature, and as one whose claims con- ‘sist exclusively of the public service which this writings have rendered.”

ment of every blessing which health and

WRIST—‘ONE MONTHS’ HARD LAROR.”

| Aworner case of ‘‘kleptomania”’ has been | discovered in the city. The victim—a young woman of eighteen-—suddenly fell a prey to the disease in a Queen Street shee shop, on Saturday evening. Her name is Mary Ann Buchanan—a domestic. She entered ‘the store of Mr. John Wonacott, and en- quired for ladies boots— size 3. ‘The clerk —.who was alone—retired to an apartment in the rear of the salesroom, and in an instant returned with the desired boots. On returning to the salesroom he was at- ted by the singular motion of Mary

tract Ann’s arms, which appeared to him as though they had been suddenly attracted towards the contents of the front window. 'Not seeing any boots on her person, he then had no ground for suspicion that she was a ‘*kleptomaniac.” However, she ex- amined the boots he produced. None suited, and sbe left the store. Instantly Mn Wonacott entered and enquired if a pair of ladies beots had been sold from the front There had not been, but never- theless they had gone. The clerk’s suspi- cions were at once fixed on the diseased. Procuring the services of a policeman he proceeded to search the house. Where- upon their entering Mary Ann * acknow- ledged the corn ;” yielded up the boots, and ‘was taken a prisoner. Being arrested in the evening, the rule observable is that all women must go to jail for the might. Ac- cordingly she was despatched thither in charge of two officers. On the way she re- quested a change of clothing. It was grant- ed and the police accompanied her to a domicile on King street. She went to a room in the second story. While here, changing, she plotted .her escape. The window was raised; she jumped, and fell asa bundle on the sidewalk. Resuming her feet, she ran to the opposite street and here was re-arrested by the officers, with wrist dislocated and otherwise shaken, At length she was imprisoned. On Monday morning, the 8th inst., she pleaded guilty to the charge and said it wes another girl told her to commit the robbery. The Mag- istrated sentenced her to one mwonth’s im- prisonment with hard labor.

“Shoving the Queer.”

Geo. W. Lefurgy was arrested on Friday last, in St..John, N. B., for passing coun- terfeit money. He arrived at St. John on Thursday, from Quaco, in the stage and tendered a $2 bill for the ride. Some change was tendered him but he declined, which excited suspicion. Officers were placed on his track and he was arrested on his way to~ Mencton. The officers found what represented $578.87 on his person, be sides two hunting-case watches. Of the sunr; $553 is unquestionably counterfeit Halifax and P. E. Island bills. Some of the St. John papers say that Lefurgy be- longs to St. Martin’s, N B., while others state that*he belongs;to Bedeque, P. E. Island. He has resided, however, in the United States for some time past, and it is supposed that the counterfeits were made in Boston or vicinity. He has, until lately, been working in Pembroke, Mass.

Cuicaco, during the past week, held the first of the six-day bicyle matches between the great English team and the well-known American riders. Wiser in their ways than the professional cricketers who came over the past autumn, the visiting bicyclists suffi- ciently hanpicapped themselves to make the race exciting. At the end of the match Sat- urday night, the score stood : Cann $55 miles and Stenton 810 -total, 1,665; G. Harrison 858 miles, and Rutland 500—total 1,653. Thus the victory of the English pair was only 7 miles in 1,655. Butit must be remembered thatthe relative distances were not literally as they stand in these figures, for a hundred miles handicap was placed on the Englishmen.
