Nicholas Conroy was the youngest son of the late Thomas Conroy. He was born at tathdowney, in the Barony Forth, Wex- ford, [reland, in the year 1816. There he he passed his early years and re- ceive! his education. He came to this Island in 1835 and took up his abode at Tignish at a time when the westward coun- try was one dense forest. He applied him- self diligently, and soon became well known and greatly respected. In 1851 he married Catherine, daughter of the late John Me- Donald, and niece of His Lordship the Bisheo of Charlottetown. In 1841 he was made a Justice of the Peace ; and in 1845 was clected a representative of the First District of Prince County in the Island

Tux Patriot, referring to the advertise- ment for tenders to contract for 127 miles of railroad in British - Columbia, asks, “what return the people will get for the money sunk in this useless section of road ?” Has t 10 editor of the Patriot been, like Rip Van Winkle, asleep, during the last six years ! or has he lost his memory ? Every one knows that the Patriot’s political leader Mr. McKenzie, entered into a solemn con- tract with the British Columbians, not only to éommence the road, but to complete it from the Atlantic to the Pacific by the year 1890. In order that our neighbor may no longer pretend ignorance on such an im-

Pownal : Meeting.

Tne Pownal Meeting last night was, we learn, a stormy one. It was addressed by Messrs. Dixon, Crawford and Grant, the three candidates nominated. The Hon. Messrs. Sullivan and Ferguson addressed the meeting, and also Messrs. W. D. Stew- art, D. Farquaharson, and others. W. D Stewart distinguished himself in his own peculiar role. + Before the Commissioner of Public Works had opened his lips in the meeting, he pointed to him, declaring he had the “‘inark of Cain on his forehead.” le also made a most wanton attack on the now lamented Nicholas Conroy, Esq. It is time that a sound public opinion should assert itself aud drive such a man to the obscurity from which he should never have emerged.

NOMINATION OF CANDIDATES.

Tue High Sheriff of Queen’s County (W. R. Watson, Esq.) opened his Court for nomination of candidates to represent’ the Fourth Electoral District at 10 o'clock this

forenoon. The following were nominated :

Joseph Mitscrne Dixon, proposed by Richard Smith, of Pownal, seccnded by Richard Jenkins of the same piace.

Duncan Crawrorp, of Wood Islands, Lot 62, farmer and merchant, proposed by Donald MeLeod, of Kinross, Lot 57, and ssconded by Andrew ©’Keefe, of Pisquid Road, Roderick A. MeDonald, of Murray

portant matter, we insert the different { Harbor Road, Alexander Martin, of Belle

clauses of what are known as the ‘‘Carnar- yon Terms,” but which the Earl of Dufferin said should properly be called ‘‘the Mc- Kenzio Terms.”

1. ‘That the Railway from Esquimault to Nanaimo shall be commenced as soon as possible, and completed with all possible despatch.

2. That the surveys on the mainland shall be pushed on with the utmost vigor.

3. That the wagon road and telegraph line slall be immediately constructed.

4. That $2,000,009 a year shall be the minimum expenditure on railway works within the Province from the date at which the surveys are sufficiently completed to enable that amount to be expended on con- atruction.

5. Lastly, that on or before the dist Deceiaber, 1890, the railway shall be com- plete | and open for traflic, from the Pacific ge. board to a joint at the Western end of Lake Superior, at which it will fall into connection. with existing lines of railway ‘through a portion of the United States and also with the navigation on Canadian waters.

Tho above terms were agreed to by an Order in Council on the 18th of December, 1874. Where was the Patriot then ; and wy did itnot then protest against such an iniquity ? It will be noticed that in addition to the railroad, wagon road and telegraph

line across the Continent, Mr. Mackenzie also bound the. Domin- jon Government to build a_ rail- way across Vancover Island’ The late

Government agreed to the terms with a ful] knowledge of the difficulties they had to eontend with. They spent millions of money in surveying what the Patriot calls ‘‘ the

Creek, Lot 62, Angus Martin, Murray Harbor Road, James Stewart, of the same place, and John F. McLeod, Orwell -Mills.

THE JHWS.

} i+ ti } |

Tue Rev. Jacob Freshman’s lecture last evening was quite a success. Tho favorable ‘notices which had been given of this Chris- tian Jew in the Press, prepared us to ex- pect much ; and we were not disappointed. The Rev. gentleman knows how to present great facts in an attractive style. His man- ner is lively yet pleasing, confiding but dignified. He feels at home on the plat- form, and at once secures the confidence of his audience. His appearance is preposess- ing ; and his accent, while betraying the fact that English was not his -mother’s tongue, is agreeable—he is by birth a Hun- He is, Hebrew of the Hebrews, a son of a Rabbi.

gavian. nevertheless, a Jew—a He seems proud*of his nation, as well he may; for. all that is great and glorious in this world is linked with the history of that pedple. The loftiest paths of art and science have been trod by Jews. Men of this nation have made the wisest and best kings, most fearless and skillful generals, most eloguent and sublime poets. } Among them have been masters of music, and the grandest historians. Their code of morals is the purest, their legislators and statesmen the most sagacious and disinter- ested. Their land was the centre of the world, and their in‘!nence undying, and ex- tends as wide as humanity. -Their scholar- shid, even to-day, wields a mighty ‘power by books and in the editorial chair of Eu- rope, while their money moves armies and decides the fate of kingddms. Yet they have suffered, been wronged and cruelly oppressed. Their blood has been shed in many a land, and the wail of thei: woe has been loud, long and heartrendinz. They have been trodden down, been a by-word, and a hiss, a curse for many a day. All this Mr. F. told us, and much more that we cannot detail, and he told it weil and ele-

quently. He is deeply read in the wonder- ful history of this mysterious people. His sympathy with his people is profound. He

weeps with them that weeps, and rejoices with them that do rejoice. The latent fire of patriotism and of people, found in every Jewish heart, revea's itself ever and anon, which was so pathetically expressed by the Captives at Babylon: ‘‘If I forgot thee, O, Jerusalem ! let my right hand forget her cunning.” it becometh a Christian heart, his prayer is that Israe may be saved—anay see in Christ ihe long- promised Messiah—a light to liighten the Gentiles with the story of His ancient people.

Mr. F. dves not commit himself to any theory of Restoration of the Jews to Pales- tine. In this, he acts wisely, and shows thathis hope for Israel lies in things spiritual, and not carnal. We need not add, that he has no faith in the Hinite theory in refer- enge to the lost tribes of Irael. Wo shalJ be glad to hear Mr. Freshman agai. We learn that lie has been requested to deliver his lecture in the basement of the Methodist ( Church, and we hope he will comply with the request. At any rate, there is little doubt that his visit on this occasion will have the effect of stirring up in many who heard him, a deep interest in the Jews, and especially in their conversion.
