The receipts of the Grand Truk | Railway for the six mouths ending June 30th reached £1,711,090, against Jast year, 2u increase of £150,020, or about ten per cent.

From the 1st of July to the 22nd of October, the receipts of the intqrentonial Railway were $780 600, agaiost $ $732, 400 in the corresponding period of 1832, and against $570,000 tor the correspond. ing period of 1881.

In 1875-6, the amount deposited in the Postal Savings Banks was $12,908,745; in 1881-82 it was $21,768,661; and at present the amount is $27,300,000.

—Speaking at a Conservative banquet at Bridgewater a few nights ago, Sir M.

Hicks Beach reviewed the home and foreign policy of the British Govern-) ment. Referring to Irish affairs, he

in congratulatory terms to the progress of Sir Stafford Northcote io Ulster, which, be said, owed its success to the fact that the loyalty of ihe Irish had been appealed to. Tarning to South Africa, he said the Government had disgraced the British name, Ip Indiathe European population had been aggravated, harrassed, and alarmed. In Egypt the Government had attempted a bad imitation of Lord Bea- consfield’s policy, but at every turn they had been hampered by the results of

alluded triampha!

their former professions. He de- scribed the corrupt practices act as monument of purism rua mad. Advert-

ing to the question of parliamentary re- form, he said no system of representation could safely be based on the represen- tation of numbers alone It should be based on the representation of interests,

and anv bill which disregarded this would be the greatest misfortune that

could befall England.

—The Radical Convention lately held at Leeds in England, passed a resolution setting forth that it is the duty of Her Majesty's Government, to deal with the qnestion of the extension of the Fran- chise in the next session of Parliament. At the same Convention,—

The Rev. F. W. Fowle (Islip) moved :— **That ia order to meet the just expecta- tion of the country and to fulfil the pledges given at the last general election, this con- ference is of opinion that a measure for the extension of the franchise should confer on householders in the counties the same elec- toral rights as those enjoyed by house-

holders and lodgers in parliamentary boroughs.” The Rev. H. W. Crosskey, LL. D (Bir-

raingham), moved a rider to the effect that any measure for the extension of the suff- rage should confer the franchise upon wo- men, who, possessing qualifications entitling men to vote, have now the right of voting in all matters of local government.

Miss Cobden supported the rider, as did also Miss Bright (daughter of the Right Hon. John Bright), who assvred the meet- ing that in this country there were a large number of women who strongly hoped for the franchise. Their hope lay in the Lib- eral party, though she regretted that all Liberals were not the followers of true Liberalism. The resolution with the rider was carried almost unanimously.

Had we suitable sidewalks at this time of the year, and later on, pedestrians would experience a pleasant refuge from mud and

| dirt.

Our Branch of the Dominion Temperance Alliance had a meeting on Wednesday evening. (wing to a misunderstanding as to the place it was tu be held, the attend- was small. The private meeting of the wembers was very satisfactory. A per- manent meeting place will be secured for public gatherings in connection with our temperance work, and its locality duly announced. The next meeting takes place on Wednesday, the 7th inst., at 8 p. m. sharp.

Now that the Court Honse is no long 9 available for public meetings—report

says by ‘‘order of the Judge”—it would be well for all parties inte rested in the matter that. some other building is made available as a public hall for Souris. If it is an understood point that the Court House is only for judicial or magisterial purposes, of course we must find some other place in which to hold concerts, public performances, tea parties, political meet- ings, and other public gatherings, as they may be required or called for. It would never do to accuse a judge of prohibiting its use for temperance meetings alone; in fact it would be derogatory to his honor to even imagive that he is not as ready as any oue else to enforce the Scott Act, and assist such a body as the Dominion Temperance Alliance, whose meetings are beld to assist in suppressing drunkenness, and maintain existing laws against the liquor traftic, and in this way to assist the judicial bench itself. We have an excellent sheriff resid- ing among us, who frequently obliged the temperance societies here with the use of the Court House, and Mr. McCormack has the hearty thanks of all so obliged; but now, it seems the “order” has gone forth, and his hands of course are tied. In the meantime, people are asking, ‘‘who does the Court House belong to, anyway ?”

Yesterday services were held in the Catholic Church, morning and evening. Many of cur business places were closed, and the town presented quite a “‘day of rest’ appearance. It was a solemn holy- day of obligation, being the feast of All Saints,” and a large congregation attended Mass at the usual hour.

The Government deserves every credit fer the manner in which our public roads have been attended to; but the very im- portant highway between Souris East and West is suffering from neglect. The Beach Read is in a deplorable condition and re- quires looking after. It looks for all the worid like the melancholy remains of happier times, with a decided disposition to seek oblivion in the bosom of the waters, and become a thing of the past, but we cannot do without that road, and the road cannot do much longer without a brushing up, and anew coat. The process indicated would improve its appearance wonderfully, and add to the comfort and safety of travellers. As it is, an accident might happen any time, and somebody might be wailing out, *‘Oh where is my wand’ring boy to-night,” or something equally ex- crutiating.

The following schoonev are in our harbor at present:—E. Hodgson, Welcome, Lor- raine, Willie B, Lily A. W., Alice Edna, Harriet Torrey, Alpha and Rising Dawn. Most of them are for potatoes. The Alice Edna is the wrecking schooner,the Lorraine takes dry fish to Halifax, and the E. Hodg- son goes to Pictou in ballast. The Wel- come looks well in her new dress, and it is hoped that her future career will be more fortunate than her past.

Summerside is stirring in the matter of street lamps. What will Souris say about it? Some times we are visited with almost Egyptian darkness, that cin be felt. It was felt most upnmercifully the other night, when two heads met witha bang, and the head that wore the bangs, emitted anything but a ‘‘paroxismal kiss,” in the shape of xn .roan, which seemed to aacend from ‘‘caverns of the deep’—just a groan and nothing more. The most prominent feature on the other head, sent forth a crimson fleod; and then there was a hurried raising of handkerchiefs, a flarried ‘beg parden” in choking accents, which led to each knowing who the other was, and sad tu relate, the whole affair ended in Jaugh-

The Cenotaph over the late Father moCiiivray’s Grave.

three feet. The four sides are glass, the frame is of hardwood, neatly | moulded, and painted as granite, The |
