The Act provides for its contravention by the establishment of places where liquor can be bought for medical, mechanical] and sacramental purposes, fur the disposal of the manufactories of our brewers and dis- tillers; and inasmuch as it permits its im- portation to any extenti, t is, therefore, a dishonest act in principle and a cloak to unlawful traflic.

It has increased ten-fold the groggeries of Charlottetown.

winter at the railroad wharf. The schooner Capella, loaded up with potatoes and oats, is frozen in, and consequently cannot pro- ceed on the contemplated voyage. Navi- gation having closed in thus early is a great drawback and a heavy loss not only to shippers, but to trade generally.

Mr. Calvin Bell is buyingand storing oats in large quantity, which he hopes to ship to the English market early in the spring. The present price paid is 43 cts, per bushel.

Captain George Irving, of the opposition line attempted his first expedition for Cape Tormentine on the 9th inst., and again on the llth with éeveral passengers and a quantity of freight, but the elements waged war against the old commodore, and very reluctantly he was forced to return, which was a very great dissapointment to all parties concerned. The captain is having new boats for the route this winter and a crew of hardy and brave fellows engaged, who may at all reasonable times be depend- ed upon to convey passengers from «shore to shore.

Mr. KR. S. Bagnall, formerly station master here, and family, have returned from Seattle fully convinced that fields far off are mighty green, that all that glistens . not gold, and that there is no place like rome.

Smelt fishing is well commenced around here and fish are taken in fairquantity, Mr, Celvin Howatt, of Tryon, is extensively eagaged ia this profitable trade, and has already shipped off some large consigaments on the ee Traverse branch of the P. E. L. R.

It would appear that a fair share of freight has passed from this end of the line during the current year, enough one would suppose to afford some sort of a shed over the turn- table, which in its preseut exposed state is a lasting disgrace to the department.

Mr, William McInnis, the newly appoiated agent at this station is moat atteative to the daties of his office, and all who have business relatiens with him are pleased.

There are several well written short steries, all worth reading ; while the Editor's Easy Chair, Study, and the Editor's Drawer, ccn-
