To those teachers whose w upon the whole, a satisfactory attainment of proficiency a pro rata bonus might be given to say $5 $10 or $20. Thus, for a small sum, both teachers and scholars would be interested in the work.
How much would this cost? 500 prizes are given to the scholars at $: each, and suppose 100 teachers receive a bonus of $10 each, this would amount to #2000, and together with exam te mn expenses an t a special tutor at the College, a sum of $3000.would amply cover the whole. And what would this each inhabitant of the Island ?—-The large sum of three cents a year. l believe a sum of $110,000 is expended by the Government, and a further ontlay of the sum I have named is such a small addition that I am sure no one on the Island wonld object to it = b evived from such an liture would be incaleulable. Schoo made more pleasant, our young men would be better fitted to enter the various industries and compete with the places, and in the educa-

The Rustico Sheoting Affaix”
EDENEZER MARSHALL AKRAIGNED,
AN investigation into the shooting affair at Rustico on the 17th of August, was com- menced before a Justice of the Peace for (Queen's County yesterday evening. Mir. A. A. McLean appeared for the prisoner. Following is a synopsis of the evidence: Anevs McCattum (sworn.)—i was ai the party at Angus McAulay’s, Rustico, on the night of the 17th of August betwee: 10 and 12 o'clock, It was an invited party. The prisoner Ebenezer Marshall, and Felix Roache, were alsg there. The prisoner came in after some dancing. A_ person present addressed me and I answered ‘‘not to-night, I don’t think.” Marshajl then stepped up to my back and said ‘*What the h—l have you got to say about it?” | turned round and said ‘‘] was not speaking to you,” and then he struck me on the face with both hands. A tussle ensued, and ! ¢ tried to bite my fingers. We were sepa- rated and I was dragged into another room. Ithen heard a pistol discharged apparently in the room [ had just left. 1
did not see the pistol fired; but I heard Mrs. Howard Percy cali out ‘i'm shot!” Two doctors came that night.. I believe
that Leon Gallant was shot through the
thumb at the same time.
Fevrx Roacwe (sworn)—I was in Me- Aulay’s house on the night of the party. There was a nice crowd there and every- thing went jovial. Ebenezer Marshall was among those present. I was just going to dance a reel when the prisoner (Marshall), who did not appear to be drunk, walked over alongside of Mr. Angus McCallum and said, ‘** What in h—l do yeu know about it?” McCallum turned around and an- swered, “‘I am not speaking to you.” Marshal! then said, ‘1 will smash your mouth, ” or words to that effect. He then struck him twice. I then interfered, and half pushed, half struck Marshall, as I did not like to see the row and have the party broken up. Another man interfered, and or four were mixed up in the row. After the row I turned round and saw that Marshall had a pistol pointed at me. I caught his hand and made to hit him to defend myself. A crowd rushed in, pushed
Marshall against the wall, work t
and he tried to he pistol so as to point it at my body. The pistol went off while I held Marshall’s

Ch'town, Oct. 13,
Justin Me Province is shortly to be from one of the fore- most statesmen and literary men of the lay. I refer to Mr. Justin McCarthy, who is to lecture in Charlottetown on the Ist und 2nd prox. I observe that in every city he has visited, since his arrival in America, he has met with the most cordial reception from men in the highest stations of life, who »h him honor, not only ! locking in thousands to ‘ * hang upon his words, but ina less ethereal mannet by making him partaker in their hospitality. He has ren banguetted in New York and Boston, and ] not the least doubt that as his tour progresses cities will fol- low the example set by their bigger sisters. Mr. McCarthy will arrive here ria Pictou on Saturday, 30th inst., and will remain here until Wednesday morning, lecturing on Monday and Tuesday evenings. Satur- day evening is to spare. Why not enter- tain Mr. McCarthy at a banquet? He comes on no political n ission, and even were he to appear as an “‘ Irish National- ist,” how many would be found to take issue with him upon the Home Rule question? Our distinguished visitor is not mly a statesman of advanced liberal views but he is a historian, a novelist, and, if I mistake not, a poet also.» Let us treat him with the honor that is due so eminent a an, and by so doing we will show that we can appreciate true merit, and we will gain eredit for as well. Who will be the first to move in the matter ?
