Tur Montreal “ Star” says :—A gentle- manmin Montreal, whose knowiedge of the subject constitutes him an authority in matters of painting and sculpture, says that

Her Highness is an artist of such calibre that were she devoid of rank and title her

in the world of art, and would bear her on to fortune. He has examined many of her subjects, and in water colors especially,pro- nounces them among the finest from the brush of modern artists. All lovers of the ing art will be celighted to know this, and and we are certain that her advent among us will lend a helping hand to those who have'been working hard to secure for her fine arts that place which should be given them in owr Dominion.

AN old tar, says the Summerside cor- res ent of the Moncton Times, beleng- ing to a'vessel lying out at anchor in the harbor, was ashore yesterday who asserted that he had visited this port forty years ago. He said that at that time there was only two houses in the place, but he could obtain any quantity of liquor, and he was lamenting the fact that now he could not obtain a drop of that which both cheers and inebriates. This is creditable to the liquor dealers and general public of Summerside. By the way, there is a strong probability of the Canada Temperance Act being passed in this County, and in fact over the whole Island, the people being almost unanimous for some sort of Prohibition, and even the

TAX AND CARRIAGE TAX, ‘ . . . . ; The City Council met last evening, | Uhe Mayor, Recorder, Council- | Peake, Byrne, Koughan, Horne, | Hooper, Davy, Crabbe, Stumbles and Beer. | BILLIARD PLAYERS. | A communication)» was read. from the | Stipendiary Magistrate in reference to a number of billiard rooms in the city, as | , ~ 7 = | Crry Court, 25th Nov., 1878. -| To iis Worship the Mayor in Council: 1 beg again to direct your. atténtion and | that of your Council to the unfortunate po- sition [ and the police of this city are placed |

jin with regard to billiard rooms in this city. |

‘There are now four separate clubs or roams nsed for this purpose. Two at least of them are run for the profit of the owners. | In these rooms youths of all ages assemble |

reagon to fear that the illicit sale uous liquors is carried on.

In no other city in the Provinces are such places permitted to exist except by license of the Corporation, and’ then only under strict rules for their proper management. I have received complaints of misconduct in two of these rooms, which I am_ powerless to punish except, may be,under the private rules of the managers of the several clubs.

I cannot but strongly urge your Council, having in view the highly immoral tend- ency which such unlicensed and unre- strained amusements undoubtedly ‘have, more especially over the youth of the city; to remedy this anomaly, and under the power given them by their Act of Incorpor- ation, so to restrain and regulate such in- stitutions as will at least put it in t1e power of the police t> exercise some supervision over them.

Most respectfully yours, R. R. FrrzGerap, Stipendiary Magistrate.

There is at present no‘by-law bearing on the matter, and Councillors Davy, Beer and Horne were appointed a Committee to pre- pare a by-law for the proper management of billiard rooms.

FIRE DEPARTMENT.

Three reports Were read from the Board of Fire Engineers, setting forth the inci- dental expenses of that department since October. They were adopted by the Coun- cil, and the bills annexed ordered to be paid.

COMMITTEES.

Councillor Crabbe, newly elected for Ward 3, was then elected Chairman of the Street Committee and member of the Wharf Committee.

Councillor Peake was elected Chairman of the Finance Committee and a member of the Park Committee.

Councillor Davy was elected a member of the Tender, Market, Police, Truck and Pump and Well Committees.

“ (e<

QUEENS WHARF.

A report was read from Richard Weeks, Esg., on the present condition of the Queen’s Wharf. The wharf is now in a very bad condition, and, judging from thie tenor of Mr. Week’s report, we should say it requires a new ‘‘ lock, stock and barrel.” The Chairman of the Wharf Committee in- sisted that the lessee should be eompelled to carry out the provisions of the lease ; and the report was referred back to the Wharf Committee, with instructions to point out to the lessee all repairs now re- quired.by the provisions of the lease.

Councillors Peake and Byrne were then appointed a committee to sign debentures in conjunction with the Mayor.

pOG TAX.

Councillor Beer, in moving this bye-law, stated that it had been rumored outside ef the Council that we pass laws in an illegal manner, because the members of the Coun- cil have no constitutional right to sit at the Board. He would, therefore, like te know whether any Councilman who is compound- ing with his creditors, or who has not his discharge from the Court of Insolvency, can legally sit at this Board, and if there were any such members at the Board at present. The Recorder informed him that he could not answer the last half of the question, unless supplied with all the necessary facts relating to parties suspected. He quoted the Act of Incorporation, showing that an insolyent could not hold a seat at the Board; but on the other hand h eshowed that a man may one day be an insolvent and the next worth thousands of dollars.

Councillor Beer’s remarks created a con- !

it passed over, theCouncil went into Commit- teefon a By-law relating to dogs,forthe pur- pose of*taxing the same. It was read first and second, and ordered tv be read a third time at the next meeting of the Council. The By-law enacts that the owner or keeper of any dog shail report the same to the Sti- pendiary Magistrate in order to have the deg registered; that a tax of one dollar shall be annually paid by the said owner for each dog in his possession on or before the first of February in each year; that the owner shall affix on the dog registered his name and number of registration; that the owner or keeper of bull dogs or vicious dogs shall keep the same muzzled; that any person keeping a dog about his place shall be held | responsible for all the purposes of this by- law, and for every infraction of this by-law the offender shall be fined a sum not exceed- ing $10 or 30 days.

HORSE AND CARRIAGE TAX.

Councillor Beer introduced a by-law re- lating to horses and carriages, for the pur-
