Now, Sir, itis not my intention to notice this lying epistle, further than to state, and in so doing, [ challenge contradiction, that a game of cards has never been played in-the building since the Club has been in existence.

I may further say that our manager has strict orders to watch carefully over the bil- hard tables to see that nothing! approaching to gambling is carried on, which orders are car- rie! out to the letter.

Jn conclusion, Mr, Editor, I must express my surprise at you for allowing such a letter to appear in your columns without first making some inquiries, to find out whether or not there was any foundation for such statements.

If the parent who appears so ignorant of the management and doings of our Club will come out over his own signature and repeat such false charges, 1 for one shall consider it a duty to refute them; otherwise his letters will be treated——as should be the man who writes such stuff--with contempt.

T'o the Lidior of iy Examine ee

Sik,-—-T noticed a communication in your paper yesterday from our esteemed fellow- townsman Mr. Charles Heartz, calling on the citizens to patronize home manufacture, and not buy bnported furniture, even if they can save money by the transaction. I think few will listen to his arguments, but will buy wherever they can get goods the cheapest. According to the same argument, no leyal citizen should buy a pair of shoes imported from Canada, as it would be against the inter- ests of our local shoemakers. Neither should he buy Canadian tlour or cornmeal, but should patronize our Island farmers by taking from them home-manufactured flour and oatmeal. Does friend Hleartz always dress in Island homespun, or patronize those who import for- eign fabrics? Hf he is sincere he would not use walnut farniture, as we have plenty of home-grown wood that will serve the purpose very well. But is it not a fact that our furni- ture import a large

maniutactuirers

l very part of their stock ready made, because they can get it cheaper than they can

manufacture it here. When an auctioneer gets a consignment of furniture he has to pay trueck- men and laborers to handle it and mechanics to set it up, and then there are charges for storage and commission, so that really the difference between a furniture manufacturer and an auctioneer dealing in furniture is more in name than in reality. Surely in those days of free trade we have not in our midst such ardent advocates of protection as would debar us from trading with our own people of the Dominion. FREE TRADER. Ch’town, May 1S, 1878. -_-- -

Heartz and Protection.

To the Editor of the Examiner :

Dear Srr,—Having noticed the letter from Mr. Heartz in your paper of yesterday, |] thought that such a championing of our so- called manufactures ought not to pass un- challenged, and that the subject should be placed a little in its true and proper light. For my part, [ think we are a Province of shopkeepers ; and our so-called manufacturers, if they could gain a higher per centage on the sale of imported manufactured “goods, they themselves would be the first to import. In fact, it is customary for them to import many things, such as plain chairs, tables, etc. And why? Because they make an extra cent on it. Why don’t they make them in their work shops ? 3ecause the shop-keeping element’ is the stronger. The fact is, that both buyer and seller will go where they can get the best and cheapest in spite of anything said against it. As an instance, it so happened that some of the furnjture sellers in town were at the sale and some of the furniture was bought in by them, no doubt they expecting to make more money out of it than by the manufacture of the same article. There is no doubt but that the sellers in town, generally, are too expen- sive; and what is even worse, they ‘may not be able to sell cheaper than they do. Bad debts, waiting for money, and the whole credit system, are detriments to both buyer and seller. Persons paying ready money for their purchases do not wish to pay so exorbitantly, in order to square off the bad debts, ete, I

Mr.

know that many of our town’ shops could afford to give twenty to thirty per cent, discount for cash and be

actual gainers thereby. And persons, if they know they are paying for the dishonesty or re- missness of others, willsoon tind outanother and more equitable market. Let some of the shops here do the same as the shops of some place in Ontario did some little time ago. A numerous set of Quakers settled among them

| UY THE DAILY EXAMINER, | for the latest news—local and telegraphic

uaker's always pay cash down. The shops wanted their custom, they sent asking it, and offering from twenty-five to thirty-tive per cent. discount from usual prices for cash. What a commentary on our trading is that !

Now, it is tobe hoped that Mr. Heartz and his sympathizers will carry out their ideas on this subject logically; they must use none but the Island Mills cloth; nor imported leather for boots ; nor, of course, imported boots; remem- bering that the making up of the complete article is not all that is to be thought of, but the making and the production of the ingre- dients.

Now, a little wholesome ailvice all around: | to the public, pay promptly, if you don’t, you upset everything ; to shopkeepers, give a /arge discount for cash, and then the trade is in your hands, and you need not fear the importation of manufactured or other goods,

ANNIE PARKER

sworn :—1 will be 17 in July next. I was horn in Quebec city. My father was from the Lowlands of Scotland. My mother was a native of Qnebec. I lived in Quebec about 7 years, then came to Dalhonsie, where my mother died after one year. My

father still lives in Dalhousie. I have five brothers and sisters, one brother older than me; he isin Montreal. All the rest are younger, and one is in Dalhonsie with my father. I lived with Myr. Moffat in Dal- lousie, and a while after that I lived with Mr. Gorden, Campbellton. At Bathurst I lived with Mrs. Dick and with John Me- Lean. A year ago I came from Bathurst and I came to Moncton. | first lived with priso- ners in Moneton, where they were then keep- ing hotel. I was with them nearly a month

From their place I went three miles out of town to Wm. Jones’; where | staid about two months. 1 then came back to Moncton, I lived as a hired girl with Geo. Lockhart about one month. Then Osbornes sent for me to go to Shediac and live with them. This was 6 or 7 days before the 12th Oct.

[ did cooking and washing and serubbing— general work about the house. When 1] caine to the Wayerly House there was Mr. Osborne, Mrs. Osborne, Eliza and Harry Osborne, John Osborne (younger than Harry),and Morton, youngest of the family. They kept a hotel called the Waverly House at Shediac. On the 12th October the only person boarding at the house was Campbell the dentist. He was there when I came. There was nobody else there then. His room on the 12th Oct. was on the second

flat—in attic, facing the road. He was the only person boarding there on the 12th Oct. I remember two men who where

there selling trees. They came I am posi- tive the next Friday after the 12th, and remained there 5 days to the best of my knowledge. There was not, at any time, another Tree Agent there fhat I know of. John Osborne was sick on the 12th of Oct. He was sick when I came, with typhoid fever. He was unable to get down stairs —-was confined to his room at that time. Harry had a sore foot on the 12th Oct. He wore a rubber on the sore feot and a boot on the other foot. The other members of the family were well. Bill Cummins used to come there and drink, but I was not ae- quainted with him. He was drunk in the kitchen one mght. I[ was in the house the night of the 12th Oct. doing work.

{knew Tim McCarthy. I first saw him in Moncton when I was with the Osbornes.

times of day. I saw him on the evening of the 12th Oct., about 9 o’clock, in the ladies’ sitting room, Waverly House. This was first time J saw him that day. I did not then know his wife. 1 did not see her in Waverely House that day. 1 was in the dining room when McCarthy went in ladies’ sitting room. There were folding doors between dining room and ladies’ sitting room. | was scrubbing the dining room when he was there; Eliza and Mrs. Os- bourne were with him in there. No one was with me then. Mr. McCarthy was talking about a lady he bought a pollonaise for. Eliza said to McCarthy that she saw the girlin Moncton with a velvet polonaise with white huttons. McCarthy said the buttons were black and she said they were white She says—‘‘I will bet you ten dollars they were white,’ and he said—‘‘T will bet you ten dollars they were black.” She said— ‘**You have no money to bet.” He pulled a role of money out of his pants pocket, and then she said she didn’t want to bet. He was saying he was going away from Mrs, McCarthy ; he was going away te leave her; he was going to the Island. He said she won't watch me very far, for she has only $10. He said he was going to take his horse and carriage te the Island with him. He said when he got on the Island wharf he would make the first fine looking young lady he saw get in with him, and he would drive away with her, and Mrs, McCarthy would never find him. | think Eliza said he would do right to goaway. Eliza then went out of the room te the kitchen, and remained there till he went away. Mrs. Osborne and McCarthy went out of the room right after that. He went in the bar-room- -she went out into the kitchen. Me- Carthy called from the bar-room door to Eliza, but she did not want to go. McCarthy senz Harry, who was in the bar-room, out to the kitchen after Eliza. Eliza said if McCarthy wanted her worse than she wanted him, he could come there. She did not go into the bar-room, and McCarthy, after waiting four or tive minutes, went ovt the front door on the street. He was theré about an hour. When he went out he said he was coming back. |]

eould te'l the time by the clock which was set- ting on a shelf in the ladies’ sitting-room.

After McCarthy went out I prepared kindlin

for the fire in the morning, then went to bed in about three minutes. Just before I went to

bed I heard Mrs. Osborne and Eliza put up the

plan to drug him and get his money. rs. | Osborne said she would give him a powder and ‘put him out of his mind, and then they’d get

bis money. Eliza answered ‘‘ All right.” Harry said nothing that I heard. That's all l heard about the powder. I had known of a powder being in the house. It was kept in the bar room—on a little sMelf, in a little wooden box about 6x10—some in a paper be- hind tie door inside the counter, and some in a paper on a shelf outside the bar.
