THE PIG QUESTION.

Tae supply of pigs received at the pork factory so far this season, has been small. Thia is to be regretted, because the more pig® for the factory the more money for the farmers, But a business of the sort aimed f the right kind for bacon will be constantly supplied during every month of ‘the vear, cannot be buil* up ia @ seacon or even two. It took many years of trial and experiment to bring pork-packing to the perfection in which it 18 now found in the United States and in Ontario,—to the perfection to which it must be brought in this Province if there 18 not to be satiefaction and success on the part of both packers and farmers. Fortunately for the Province, the Messrs. Rattenbury have, by one atroke of enterpr factory furnished wi of the most approved

Tuey had not time to select the most dis- criminating buyers and the most careful weighers, and they had anxieties and vexations which ough‘ to have enlisted the generous sympathy o° their co-workers— the farmers.

ST. PETER’S HALL.

First Lecture of the Season — by Mrs. John Richards— Mexico, its People, and their Customs Described.

There is not a pre tier little hall in the town than that of St. Peter's, nor one better fitted for lectures, concerts, theatri- cal entertainments, etc., for the edification and amusement of our citizens during the long evenings of fall aud winter. In this ball, last evening, the first lecture of the season opening with September was deliver- ed by Mrs. John Richards, C C. Gardiner, E+q., occupying the chair. We need hard- ly say that the lecture was interesting and instructive from beginning toend, The eubject was Mexico. Mrs. Richards visited this highly interesting country last winter. She didn’t go “hooded,” like the travellers referred to by Lord Bacon, but with her eyes wide open; and eh2 was able to give her audience vivid descriptions of the country and its inhabitants, with incidental references to its history, resources, etc., all combining to interest the intelligence and enlist the sympathy of her audience. On the voyage out she touched at Havana, whose people were then suffering the re~ sults of the long continued civil war carried on in the interior ot Cuba. The peculiar- ities of Vera Cruz, the principal seaport

of Mexico, were touched apov, and the trip by rail thence through Cordoba, Orizaba, Tlascala, and other Mexican

towns, to the grand and historic capital of the country were described with such defi- niteness and charm of manner that the hour and thyvee-quarters occupied in rhe delivery of the lecture passed quickly awsey,~—even though the weather was rather too warm for bodily comfor:.

Mr. Jastice Hodgson moved the vote of thanks which everyoue felt that Mrs. Richards deserved, aud expressed the hope that the lecture won'd be followed, on the part of mapy persons in the audience, by a cureful etudy of Prescott’s History of Mexice.

During a short intermission in the deliv- ery of the lecture, Miss Anvie Hyndman sang a spleadid song, in which the contin~

ued improvement of her beautiful soprano } voice was made manifest; and Master Kens

neth Richards played a capital violin solo to the accompaniment cf Miss Kathleen Canning.

We trust thatthe lectureseacon, thus happily and auspiciously begun, will be continued throughout the win:er; and that the chairman of last evening, Mr. C.C. Gardiner, may be induced to favor a Coar- lottetown audience with a discriptioa of one or other of the countries in which he has travelled,

That Mrs. Kent weuld win all hearts with her recitations was to my mind a foregone conclusion. She has done so in the past and will probably do so again mapytimes in the future. Her first piece betrayed the dramatic power of which she is capable, her childish encor

piece the innate cleverness of one who can turn with ease from sober descriptive poetry, to the

quaint humor of James Whitcomb Riley, and charm in both.— Vancouver Province. Mrs. Kent in the Opera House uext Tues. day night.
