The marshes which form part of this Experimental Farm and the farms adjoin- ing, might, we think, be made ubject lessons by which many of the farmers-of this Pro- vince who have shore farms ought to profit. They are dyked. Our marshes might be Ayked more easily. They ere cultivated occasionally, yielding crops of grain. Ours might be cultivated with like results. They yield from one and a half to three tons of excellent hay per acre. Ours would probably yield as much if similarly treated. They are a principal source of the wealth of those who own them. Ours would, if similarly treated, be less profitable only be- cause they are less extensive.

A model farm has recently been erected upon the Experimental Farm. The prin. ciple upon which it is built is the same as thatof Mr. West, at Kensington. The horses and cattle are all pat upon the ground floor. The grain and hay is stored upon the other floor which is easily access- able by loaded waggons, and a large part. of All the horses and cattle are fed cut hay and straw and crushed grain,—the cutting and crushing being done on the barn floor on stormy and rainy days.

The cattle on the Kxperimental Farm have not yet been selected for breeding purposes, but a selection of Shorthorns, Ayrshires and Holsteins will, ere long, be made for that purpose.

It is worthy of re- mark that every horse on the farm was ob- tained in Prince Edward Is!and.

drunkenness destroyed God's image in|

'man, destroyed the man’s family, and the |

man himself. He deprecated the use of intoxicating liquor as a stimulant, claiming,

(on the strength of what had been told him

by such men as Dr. Hinson, of Montreal, and Dr. LaFavre, of Laval University, that its use did more harm than good—that there were many other things that might take its place. Especially, he said, should intoxicants be avoided by those who know their failing, by those who know that the taste of liquor makes them long for more

'wnd that they will become drunken, Woe to

the drunkard and to those who make him drunk. He did not intend this language for those who make of liquor selling an honest business; it was intended for those who keep low shebeens into which they

children and to those whom they know wiil| become drunken. The malediction of God | will assured!y fall upon such persons. They may apparently prosper for a time; they may even build fine houses, but the mortar) that cements the bricks will be watered with the tears of the widow and the orphan! ** It’s a nice Scott Act you have here; | must congratulate you upen it,” said the

rev. gentleman sarcastically. I still main- tain that what I said about this, Act last year was correct, although

one of your papers ventured to question the acearacy of the statements then made. tf Charlottetown had high license, the peo- ple would be much better off. High license was the means of greatly reducing the nam-

ber of saloons in Philadelphia, and if it were the law here there would not be s0 many shebeens in the place. The people

want better protection than they now have. If there was a high license law here, the honest liquor sellers would sea that their would see that the low tavern was not ailowed to exist. Proceeding, Father Strubbe said that he was a temperance worker, and lik- ed true temperance, but he did not like to see people make a great ado about tem- perance, and at the same time commit adultery, backbite their neighbors and be

guilty of other sins. Again, the articles which appear in the newspapers are not

always # true expression of the feelings of the writers. If you. saw some of these temperance writers in their studies or in their dining rooms you would see that this is so. In conclusion the rev. gentleman strongly urged upon those present the great neccessity there was for their keeping away from places where liquor is sold, and of keeping the pledges they had taken or were about to take.

After the sermon, Father Strubbe ministered the piedge to a large number of those present.

Eva Gay’s Death.

Tue preliminary examination of George Henderson was resumed before Mr. Mel- lish to-day. Hon, Mr. McLeod, Attorney- General, and Mr. Hodgson were present. The body of the child was exhumed yester- day. Dr. McLeod, of Pownal, examined the body and gave his evidence as follows :

Donatp Macteop, M. D., (re-called)— The body of Eva Gay was examined by me on the 10th July. 1 extracted the bullet from the body. It was buried in the os ileum, or bip bone, about one inch and a half below the anterior superior process, The direction of the wound from the point

f entrance was downwards and outwards. (Baileé preduced.) This is the bullet [ ex- rzacted. There are marks on the side of the bullet as if produced by coming in con- tact with some substance. They would not be produced by coming in. con- tact with the body. There is also a slight dinge on the end of the bullet, and to one side. I think the marks would be likely caused after the bullet was fired.

Lock Jones,(sworn)—I am sonof William Jones. I liveathome, Lot 49. I was near the house when the boys came. They spoke to me ; asked me how far it was from Charlottetown. They told me of their shooting on the way from town, at posts. I heard two shots in the woods just before they came to our house, about ten minutes before. I fired ashot from a yum atashingle. It was a pretty heavy charge. They had just sat down to dinner when Henry Jones and John Woods came in. Woods beckoned me tothe door and asked ifthe boyshad a gun. He gaid they had shot Sam Gay’s little girl. They took the boys from the table. Henderson seemed pretty much broken down. I left for the scene of the shooting soon after. l asked Whittle where they had been firing. cle said they tired three shots at a post up the road. The next shot was fired at a corner gate post with a knot on it, He told me it Was a post higher than the fence with a big knot in it, three or four inches from the top. I walked along and found a post with three buliet holes in it, and a post with the knot. It must have been the one, as Whittle had not been up to it since the shot was tired. I found it was unpossible to see a child where the child was, from the place the shot was fred. It would be about 250 yards from there to where the little girl was.

To Mr. Hodgson—I saw the mark in the ground last Tuesday morning; it might or might net be the mark of a bullet. There is a bill eight yards from the road which it would be impossible for the bullet to pass, wud this makes me think it is not a builet mark. [t could not be made from John Wood's gate. The mark ina pole at the gate where the boys fired very much re- sembles a buller mark. é

Some other evidence of little or no importance was also taken and this afier- n0on the counsel on both sides addressed ihe magistrate after which he reserved his decision and adjourned until Thursday, the i7th mst.

with Bishop Hoburn of India and Rev. Mr. Oldham, superintendant of the Malay- sia missions, who has been spending a day ortwo at the Fifth Conference of the

This

There was an immense gathering, thousands of men and women of all nationalities, French, ludian, Chinese, Japanese, English, American, and Canadian, representing all evangelical branches of the church, and three hundred young ladies from Mount Hermon Seminary. Last Sunday was a great day amongst them. Professor Morse, of Virginia, and the Rev. G. Puddefvot, evangelist, conducted the morning service, and in theafternoon Mr, Moody gave an out- door address to a vast concourse of people. ‘The service was held on a foliaged hillside and Mr Sankey sang, ‘‘There were ninety and nine” his vvice being echoed back

from the surrounding mountains with wonderful effect. In the even- ing there was held the missionary

mecting of the associated colleges, at which eloquent and stirring addresses were given by several noted men; and Chinese, Japan- ese, North American Indian and French graduates and undergraduates. Mr. Mvore deseribes the scenery of Northtield as the most beautiful he has seen. Rising from the margin of the Connecticut River, which sweeps placidly by, and surrounded by mountains clothed with verdure, the site commands one of the finest views in New Kngland. There is an imposing cluster of coliege buildings, erected by Mr. Moody through his own earnings and the princely givings of his friends. There is a magni- Scent staff of teachers, and endowed scholar- ships, amounting to $30,000. The place is a grand centre for Christian workers, who prepare themselves with enlarged activities to do the Master’s service in all parts of the world.

Mr. Moore has been appointed to take charge of the Anglo-Indian church at Sing- apore. Mr. Hedley Balderstone also left for Singapore on Wednesday, and will join Mr. Moore and Mr. Oidham at New York. They will leave for Liverpool, England, the first of next week.

Presentation and Address.

Miss Maria Lawson was list evening presented with a valuable gold brooch and the following address ;

CHARLOTTETOWN, P. E. L., July 10ch, 1890. Dear Miss Lawson :

As you are about to take your departure from us, we, the residents of Spring Park, feel that we cannot allow you to leave us without letting you know how highly you are esteemed among us. . When we think of your energy and untiring zeal, both in the intellec. tual and moral education of our childrer, we feel that words cannot express our gratitude; also, when we look back over the many years you have been among us, we see every effort on your part has been put forth with an un- selfish motive, aiming alone at the progression and «dvancement of our children. Our desire iy that you may be as successful, and more so, in the far-off lang to which you are going, as you have been among us, and we feel that tiine can rever erase the memory of the many pleasant years you have spent amongst us.

We ask you to accept this present as but a small tokeu of the esteem in which you are held by us.

For residents of Spring Park,—

James PICKARD,

Wiuiam A. Gay,

Wa. H. Lona. To the residents of Spring Park :

My Dear Frieyps,—What can I say in re- turn for your kind address and beautful pre- sent but that I thank you most sincerely.

That you should so highly value my work, full of m‘stakes and failures as it has becn, is to me a source of almost painful pleasure.

Rest assured that wherever I may go I shall never forget the kindness with which you have always treated me, and that no news will afford me greater delight than that of the suecess and prosperity of you and your children. :

Yours gratefully, Maria Lawson.
