Wyat's the matter with the Government Clock! It has not struck for two days. Js it in sympathy with the Administration

of the day :

We learn that Mr. Alexander Brown, of Stanley Bridge, had a streamer of crape at- tached to his door nob on the morning after the election.

Tur ProvinctaL Exutprrion is be- inning to engage the attention of farmers and manufacturers. It will be held at Summerside this year.

C. C. Jones did not bore L. C. Owen’s, Mr. Baine’s, Montague Chapel, High Bank, or any other wells that have failed. His cheap opposition did it.

Ar the Stipendiary Magistrate’s Court this morning, Martin Carroll and Michael Hennessy, were sent up for one month each, for an assault upon John Thompson.

Carrain Roxatp MeMr1an, of the bark “John F. Robertson,” arrived here on Saturday, after an absence of two years, with his sister. He has had the pleasure of visiting the Paris Exhibition. Their friends will be glad to see them once more at home, and well.

Many think that Sir Albert can be dis- qualified as well as unseated, and that should he resign—as he undoubtedly will before the case comes to trial—the suit should still be pressed with a view to dis- qualification. —Moncton Times.

M. A. Cameron has removed his Insur- ance Office to LePage’s Building, Corner of Queen and Sydney Streets, where he will be glad to meet all his old customers, and as many new ones as_ will favor him with their patronage. In a few days he will open out a new Fire Insurance Company, as soon as necessary blanks can be received.

THe Quebec Chronicle of Saturday says : Hon. John Simpson, Assistant-Auditor- General, died last night. The deceased

‘gentleman was collector of Customs at

Niagara for some years, and sat for Niagara in the Canada Assembly from 1857 to 1864. He was a member of the Executive Counczil and Provincial Secretary of Canada, for a short period, in 1864.

Tur women of the country should have the following extract from the Memphis ‘‘ Avalanche,” printed in letters of gold and hung up in every home: “ Parents have deserted children and children parents, husbands their wives, but not one wife a husband.” This tribute to woman’s devo- tion is found in a column descriptive of the plague horrors in Memphis.

Tue fire which took place on the pre- mises of D. Mutch, Esq., of Rustico, has

roved to be very disastrous. All his out- buildings, with nearly the whole of the crop, farming implements and machinery were consumed—indeed, everything except the dwelling-house. The loss to Mr. Mutch must be from $3,000 to $3,500. He had no insurance.

Tue Portland Advertizer has the follow- ing in reference to the public debt of the United States : ‘‘ An official analysis of the public debt, prepared under the direction of the Secretary of the Treasury, shows that from August 31, 1865, when the back- bone of the Rebellion was broken, down to the present time, there has been a steady annual decrease, ranging from #2 to $4 per capita, in the national debt, and a decrease in interest per capita from 4.29 in i865 to 1.97 for the last fiscal year.”

Ox Thursday last we were shown by Mr. Alex. Smallwood some fine heads of two new kinds of wheat grown on the farm of Mr. Bovyer, Lot 48. The head of one kind is bald, and is called ‘‘ Defiance;” the other is bearded, and is called the ‘‘ Champlain.” Mr. Smallweod obtained one pound of the seed of each kind last year, from the State of Vermont. It was sowed in land prepar- ed in the ordinary way for wheat, and the two pounds gave the extraordinary yield of four bushels clean wheat. Some of the heads were six inches in length.— Argus.

Tue Montreal Gazette says : ‘‘ The duty of the Government, in view of their crush- ing defeat on Tuesday, is clear and unmis- takable. By precedent and constitutional usage, they are bound to at once resign their portfolios, and enable the Governor- General to call upen the leader of the Con- servative party to form a new Administra- tion ; and we are pleased to learn, on the authority of the Ottawa organ of the Gov- ernment, that Mr. McKenzie has decided to place his resignation in the hands of the Government without delay. Utterly routed in the country upon the platform on which he had announced his intention to stand or fall, no other course was open to the Pre- mier, and the step which he is about to take is the only one open to hii.”

Somz exaggerated rumors respecting « reported suspension of one of our large shipping firms seems to have caused quite anexcitementin St. John. Some people there even went so far as to refuse to take the notes of one of our Island Banks. For a day or two in Charlottetown gold was freely

wn from one of the Banks for their hotes ; but the excitement soon subsided when it was found that the other Banks and our leading financial men had full confi- dence in the stability of the institution. Business in the Bank has again resumed its normal condition, and we trust that the | fublic mind, both on the Island and abroad, Will cease to have any doubts that our Island

Bank notes are all perfectly good.

Mr. Epwarp McKrynon, formerly of the Post Oftice Department in this city, and latterly a law student in the office of Mr. Doutre, Montreal, has gone into partner- ship with Thomas Kelly, Esq., Summerside.

THe Ottawa Citizen says :—‘‘No man worked harder, no man toiled more zealous- ly than Mr. McKenzie whilst in power; but he misunderstood the genius of the people, and forgot that others besides himself should be considered when introducing popular leg- islation.”’

GENERAL Sir Parrick McDovaann, K. C. M. G., is expected to arrive in Quebec about the end of the month, and will take up his quarters for a time in the Citadel before proceeding to Ottawa to act as Ad- ministrator until the arrival of the Marquis of Lorne.

THE Summerside Piogress says: ‘* We cannot too strongly impress upon the far- mers of this Province the necessity of their bringing their produce to market as soon as possible. Our merchants are beginning to purchase oats, and, although the price is only about thirty-four cents per bushel, yet there is very little prospect of a rise this year, and it is better that the grain be dis- posed of at once. Not more than ninety or a hundred thousand bushels will be shipped from this port this fall, so that the demand will be hardly equal to the supply. Far- mers will, therefore, tind it to their interest to bring their oats to market at once, so that merchants who are enterprising enough to embark in the oat trade may run no un- necessary risk.”

Mr. VaLieg, a Quebec Conservative, has had some most remarkable experiences dur- ing the year. Last winter, in the general Provincial election, necessitated by Gover- nor Letellier’s coup @etat, Mr. Vallee con- tested Rimouski with Mr. Chanveau, the Returning Officer being, we believe, a rela- tive of Chauvean’s. Both candidates polled 1688 votes, and the Returning Officer gave his casting vote tor Mr. Chanvean. In the general election last Tuesday, Mr. Vallee again tried his fortunes at the ballot boxes, but in Portnenf. His competitor was Mr. De St George, whose brother was the Re- turning Officer. Strange to say each can- didate polled 1688 votes, and the election had to be decided by the casting vote of the Returning Officer. The vote, of course, was cast against Mr. Vallee. A more re-

markable coincidence never occurred in any previous election contest. ee Married.

| past the prices of other Cape Breton coals have _ been regulated by the rates fixed for SYDNEY }OOAL; but while it is true that other coals, to get a sale at all, have been pressed on the market at various prices under the current rate of SYDNEY COAL, it is no less true that, taking into account the superior lastin

qualities of SYDNEY COAL when comparec with other Cape Breton coals, the advantage, both as to economy and convenience, is in favor of SYDNEY COAL, even at a much higher price.

The General Mining Association (Limited) regret that they should again have to caution the Public against the attempts being made from time to time to induce them to buy in- ferior coals purporting to be ‘‘ EQUAL TO SYDNEY,” **SUPERIOR TO SYDNEY,” etc., ete., while some yet more unscrupulous vendors have not hesitated to advertise their coalas SYDNEY COAL (from some designated locality). All these efforts to sell coal by such means are only so many admissions on the part of those who make them of the sraNDARD character of SYDNEY COAL.

It has come to the knowledge of the Asso- ciation that in frequent instances parties givin orders to truckmen and others for SYDNEY COAL have been furnished with other and inferior coal. he Public are cautioned against permitting themselves to be imposed apon in this way.

Every vessei loaded at THE SYDNEY MINES is furnished with a certificate of the cargo being Sydney Coal. Parties purchasing should satisfy themselves by demanding the production of this certificate.

The ‘* Sydney Coal” is registered under the laws of the Dominion, and unauthorized parties using the Trade Mark ‘““SYDNEY COAL”
