Camp Hunter.

A PLEASANT EXCURSION—-REVIEW OF THE

MILITIA—WORK OF THE ENGINEERS, ETC.

fax excursion to Hunter River and the Review at Camp Hunter yesterday passed off pleasantly. At a quarter past one o'clock a special train with over two hun- dred ladies and gentlemen left the city and arrived at Hunter River after a quick ran. 4 half-mile west of the station brought

them to the camp, which 1s situated in a)

° » ‘ , commanding position on Mr. Bagnall’s

beautiful farm.

At two o'clock the review began. men of the 82nd Battalion and the Artillery formed as a brigade, and, headed by the band of the 82nd Battalion playing enliven- ing airs, marched past the commanding otticer—Lieut.-Col. Beer—who was sta- tioned to receive the salute. They looked well while preforming this duty, and gen- erally marched with precision. At the con- clusion of the march past they formed into column and wheeled into column. This is one of the most difficult movements of army drill, and was excellently executed by the troops. They then moved off fours left by fours left from their respective companies, through a dense crowd of spectators, and took up the position which was intended for the sham battle. The artillery took the right line and, in extended order, covered the fences looking northwest from the camp-field, and each company in succession followed in line, covering the road ard fence which separated them from the weods where an enemy was supposed to be operat-

ing. The bugles having sounded ‘‘fire,” the whole line from right to left opened fire of blank cartridges by

sections. Then, every other company retired a distance of from twenty to thirty paces, leaving the odd sections to cover the supposed enemy. Thus they continued to retire after firing by odd sections until the brow of Camp hill was reached by the com- pany on the right, and the company on the left touched the lower part of the guard tent, forming a diagonal line looking towards the main road. In this position the appearance of the troops was splendid. They then laid down, and rising, closed from the centre and ad- vanced by alternate companies. The alarm or “look out for cavalry” being sounded the companies formed squares and opened artillery fires on the ‘supposed approaching cavalry. Then re-forming into column they returned slowly by alternate companies to the brow of the hill where they formed a column behind a supposed fortification on the left flank of the line. Then forming two deep squares they fired from the right

and left spaces. Then advancing in squares, they halted and fired from the several faces of the squares

Taking ground to the right, they halted, and opened artillery fire by volleys. After retarning again they halted and reformed the column deployed to the left, and ad- vanced in a general line down the slope of theghill, marching with marked precision, and steadiness in all ranks. They retired again, then broke into column to the right and marched up the hill to the camp in fours, where they were dismissed.

The manner in which the troops acquit- ted themselves was highly creditable to the officers in charge. Two-thirds of the three hundred men who took in the review had only joined the militia a short time previous to going into camp. Therefore, the rapidity with which they learned the exercises is praiseworthy.

During the sham-fight, eight thousand rounds of ammunition was used. The firing of the companies was, generally, and in some instances, particularly good.

The Charlottetown Engineers did not take part in the Review. They were, how- ever, busily engaged constructing earth- works, etc., under command of Major Rabon. They have already constructed :—

1. A bullet shed, which is used as a proof against rifle bullets in the protection of a reserve.

2. A gun a ent for the protection of heavy guns while field guns are being used.

3. An abatis of brushwood, used as an obstacle to prevent the sudden approach of an enemy.

4. A picket obstacle for a similar pur-

5. A wire entanglement for a similar purpose.

6. Acovered shooting trench used asa cover for men while shooting.

7. A German shelter trench for rifle- men.

8. A field kitcher. for cooking.

9. A gypsey hut of brushwood for En- gineers to mess in.

10. Straw matrasses for the Engineers’ beds.

The work performed by the Engineers is excellent, and shows that not a few of the officers of the Engineers’ corps possess a good knowledge of military engineering. Their tents are the best kept and cleanest in the camp, and everything belonging to the Charlottetown Engineers, at Camp Hunter, seems to be in apple-pie order.

The review was concluded at five o'clock, and the excursionists from the city returned home by the excursion and express trains.

De parture of Rev. Kenneth Mac- lennan.

The Rev. Kenneth Maclennan, for sever- al years minister of St. James’ Church in this city, and family left yesterday for the Province of Ontario, where they intend to reside for the future. To be in time to fill an engagement in the city of Quebec, on Sunday, Mr. Maclennan was obliged to leave by the morning train, although he had taken e for himself and family by the “Coban” of yesterday. During his residence here, Mr. Maclennan, besides at- tending to the peculiar duties of his pro- feassion, always willingly and zealously ex- erted himself in promoting the educational, charitable and other public interests of the Province. He was perfectly free from any spirit of Sectarianism or exclusiveness, all times, treated the clergy and people other churches {with courtesy and respect ; and his words and acts invariably tended

to foster friendliness and charity among the various denominations of c>ristians. Mr, Maclennan is a cultivated

gentieman of firmness and decision of c\aracter, an able and eloquent preacher, w il versed in the learning pertaining to Church polity, and the procedure of the Church Courts. The procedure of the Church Courts in the Presbyterian system aifords a wide field of study. There isa

gradation of , Courts, consisting of the Session, or minister od clden dn

the Presbytery, next the Synod, and finally the General Assem!.]y, which is the ultimate court of ecclesiastical appeal. A complex system like this developes, or rather requires a fixed code of ecclesiastical usages | aud forms which from its nature is neces- | sarily complicated, and which affords for gent'eman of the ecclesiastical robe, a field 'of study not less interesting than the Courts of Law yield to the gentlemen of the other robe—to wit, the profane robe of the law.

| Many of the people of Charlottetown ‘will long entertain pleasant memories of ‘the late gentleman and cultivated family ‘of the Mansez and on their departure they are followed by the regret and good wishes of numerous friends, not only among the congregation of St. James’, but among our citizens in general.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

i

A Complaint.

Six,—A few weeks ago I saw that a cor- respondent signing himself ‘‘tpquirer”’ in your paper called attention to the incon- venience existing in the Clerk’s oftice of the Prince County Court, on account of the Clerk being also License Inspector and using the Clerk’s office for both purposes. And certainly there is good ground for the public to object to this double panel arrangement. Anything like this is not permitted either in Queen’s or King’s Counties, and I am a little surprised that Judge Kelly would tolerate such a state of things as to combine the administration of justice with the not very pleasant business of the liquor traffic. As a temperance man, I think the office of the Inspector should be more private than it is at present in Sum- merside.

Scorr Act MAN,

Query.

Sin,—How shall I come at the proof of the statement of the Presbyterian, that the Liberal-Conservative Party, including your- self, joined in the attempt of Dr. Jenkins to nullify ‘‘the votes of a large number of free and independent electors?’ If that be true, I have only to say that, as one voter, and a great admirer of Sir John McDonald, I shall not be able to vote for the Liberal- Conservative candidate this time. As for the conduct of Dr. Jenkins in carrying his case to Ottawa against Mr. Brecken—his own colleague—and taking his seat in Parlia- ment, I think it is perfectly scandalous— ‘monstrous’ and ‘“‘shocking to common sense,” I believe, were the words of the Chief Justice of Canada. If we endorse such conduct by electing him, it will injure the influence of the County and lower the political status of this Province; for we are judged at Ottawa by the men we send there, and by their records. Besides we shall lower ourselves as a party in the eyes of all vight-thinking men. If the Conser- vatives allow themselves to be hood-winked and bull-dozed into making him their candidate, they are not the men I take them to be. I like the course Tue Exam- INER has taken, but you don’t speak out plain enough.

Yours, A Free anp INDEPENDENT VOTER.

[There is no proof. Our correspondent might ask the editor of the Presbyterian to publish the names of, say, a dozen Conser- vatives who did as the Presbyterian said they did. When they are published our correspondent will know who to apply to for the information he requires. As for the latter part of his letter, we think our correspondent a little too hasty. Let us have a Convention, and the matter talked over. —Epitor Examiner. }

Cuban Affairs.

The commission of five sent to Havana from Madrid have prepared their report re- garding the condition of Cuba, and the question of selling it. The report is signed by only three of the commissioners; the other two will have a minority report, and all five will leave for Spain next week, The following is understood to be a syn- opsis of the report: The majority of the commission are of opinion that the interests of Spain demand that she should be

relieved of Cuba before an _ insurrec- tion shall succeed, or bankruptcy in the island shall produce _ results like those of 1821-25, when the

Spanish-American colonies were wrenched from the mother country. The report re- fers to the official declaration recently made at Madrid, that the government would never sell Cuba, and suggests a plan which has been elaborated by one of the commis- sioners and the Spanish minister at Wash- ington. It is, in short, a plan to put Cuba temporarily into the hands of some foreign power which would keep the island in trust. The report of the three commissioners pro- poses it is said, to sound the German Gov- ernment, an intimate ally of Spain and one desirous at present of having colonies, to discover whether she would con- sent to take Cuba for a _ period of twenty-five years. This island would, under this arrangement, be nominally Spanish, but her garrisons and adminis- tration would be German. Spain, which cannot borrow in Europe, and which needs money and men to maintain her rights in the Mediterranean, would thus receive annually 100,000,000 marks, and would not be drained for the maintenance in Cuba of any army and an administration which is so costly. At the end of 25 years the Spanish people will care nething for Cuba, and instead of recovering possession of it again, the Government at Madrid would be able without danger for its own ex- istance to cede it to the United States for a good round sum, especially as it would then have been benefitted by the 25 years of German Government.

A lad named Ferguson, aged about seven- teen years, filled a cartridge shell with pow- der, and ignited a fuse attached to the charge. As the cartridge did not explode, he thought the light had gone out, and picked it up to see, when the cartridge dis charged, the contents lodging in his face and eyes, completely blinding him.

The Marquis of Lorne has been awarded the silver medal of the Society of Arta for his paper on ‘‘Canada and its Products,” which, it will be remembered, was read before a numerously,attended meeting held

the auspices of the Society, at. Exeter

Crapaud Corner Notes.

Great preparations are being made here for the Orange Teain eatables, amusements, and decorations.

Lloyd French, Esq. , contractor and house joiner, has just completed, nearly ready tor plasterers, a fine dwelling house, size 25x30, with large kitchen attached, for David 8S. McQuarrie, of this piace, in an unusually short space of time considering the number of workmen employed. Mr. French has always been considered a master workman in this community, and those who have examined the work as it progressed, were unanimous in_ their opinion, that no better man can be found for the interest of his employer.

Crapaud is this season favored with an unusuaily large number of visitors from the States and Provinces, and one would think to see the number of strange faces on the streets, that Crapaud has more attractions for strangers than beiug a pleasant summer resort.

Our popular friend, Mr. Shaw, is doing a large energetic business. The class of customers who daily frequent his largely filled store, isan index sufficient for that conclusion.

John J. McLeod, who employs a large number of hands in his convenient and handsome tailering establishment, is very busy preparing the old and young sports of the community to appear ‘‘in ali their beauty” at the coming big tea.

The Cholera Scare.

The sanitary authorities of London are beseeching the Government to aaopt pre- cautionary measures against the introduc- tion of cholera from France, but their appeals have thus far proved unavailing. Sir William Vernon Harcourt, the Home Secretary, answers all requests of this kind by saying that the medical experts dispute the efficacy of quarantining as a_pre- ventive of the spread of cholera. Mr. Gladstone, on being appealed to, echoed the reply of the Home _ Secretary, and added that it was not the policy of the Government at present to irritate France by any unnecessary and avoidable restrictions upon commercial intercourse. This has proved a most unfortunate remark for Mr. Gla istone, for it has provoked the furious anger of the Tories, and has also alienated from him many of the more timid of his own party. The Tories say that the cold-blooded selfishness of the Liberal leader was never more clearly shown than by his willingness to jeopardize the lives of millions of Englishmen rather than risk disturbing the little comedy which he is arranging with Premier Ferry regarding the Egyptian conference. This charge is the more efiective because of the fear which prevails in England that the pestilence will be brought into Britain by means of the practically unrestricted traffic with Marseilles and Toulon, and a few cases of cholera in London just now might prove as fatal to Liberal supremacy as the capture of Khartoum or the murder of Gordon. <p>

The largest schgol in the world is said to be the Jews’ free school at Spitalfields,

London, with a daily attendance of over 2,860 pupils.
