We have not heard whether or not there is a contract between the Burdock Blood Bitters Company aud the city authorities, but there is at present a splendid growth of the plant on Queen Square, and on Kichmond street, and doubtless in other quarters suitable for its culture. Seme young girls were mischievous- ly pulling the burrs lately and throwing them atthe coats of passers-by. This should be stopped, as it spoils clothes, wastes the article, encourages misconduct, and may vitiate the contract, if one exists. The bur- docks should either be cut down or railed in.

Orrrvary.—A despatch from Maitland, N. S., to the Halifax Herald reports the sud- den death of Hon. A. M, Cochrane. Mr. Coch vane was of Irish descent. He was born at Newport, Hanta Co., N. 8,, October, 1811. and was accordingly in his 72ad year. He represented North Hants in the Nova Scotia assembly from 1550 to 1563, and was one of the so-called “disqualified.” In 1875 he was appointed to the legislative council, and after the defeat of the Hill Government was the nowinal leader of his party in that body. On the formation of the present local government of Nova Scotia he was given a seat in it.

Penuars the people of Charlottetown, at least those of them who buy Spring Park water for drinking purposes, think that one cent a bucket is quite high enough a price to pay for it. If it were simply good water, this would indeed be true. But it is more than good water. It isacompound which might sell by the glass in many a resort where min- eral matter or foriegn ingredients are supposed to add a virtue to the simple nutural product. The people who driak Spring Park water may not be aware of the tonic properties of the liquid they imbibe so freely. If old tin spouts, and rusty barrel hoops, and the bowls of T. D. pipes, and paint pots that have seen long service, and blacking boxes, and bottles and old croekery that have outlived their useful- ness in every other spot on earth, and iron pipes, and other rubbish that refuses classifi- cation, do not add a strengthening property to the mere unpolluted water that bubbles up so friskily, it is hard to say what will. Yet it is no less a mixture than all these substances will make that the unsuspecting citizens of Charlottetown quaff so regularly. It is cheap and effective. No wonder they are proud of it.

Cricxey.—The return cricket match be- tween the Lawyers and Bankers combined and the All-comers was played on Saturday after- noon. The former team won the toss and went to the wickets. The game opened dis- astrously for them. Two wickets fell on the first over for one run, the bowling of Ings being very effective. Scarcely any stand was made until W. Weeks and T. L. Finlay were in together, when rans came rapidly. W eeks ran up the creditable score of 21, the highest number reached on either side. Mr. Finlay also got double figures. Shortly after five o'clock —the game began shortly after three— the whole side was ont with a total of 55. To the All-comers this seemed in anticipation a mere trifle of a score, and Haythorne and T. LePage, who have been scoring well during the season, were sent to the wickets to main- tain the reputation of the A!l-comers. But, alas for disappointed hopes! Mr. Vernon) Longworth, if he did not strike terror ato the hearts of the batsmen with his a and well-pitched bails,at any rate bowled down the wickets with deadly rapidity, no stand of any acccunt being made against him. All were out for 31, no member of the side having secnred two figures. There was a good at- tendance of spectators on the grounds. The “subber” which will probably come off this week, promises to be unusually mteresting

Values of String.
A good exhibitien of the value of string was given in New York city on the occasion of the fire at Munro buildings in Rose Street. Fourteen firemen were cut off in the upper stories of the building by @ *‘back draught,” which surrounded them suddenly with smoke and flames and cut of their retreat by the stairs or fire escape. They crawled on their hands and knees to {a window and called for help, but the noise in the street prevented their cries from being understood, it being thought thet they were calling for more hose, and pre- parations were being made to send it up to them, Finally Chief Gicquel saw their peril and a ladder was raised for their rescue, but it was too short. Finally one of the imprisoned men found a piece of string which he lowered to the ground; a life-line was drawn up, speedily made fast inside, and the men began their descent to the ground. One of them was so faint from exhauston that he was unable to clasp the rope and slid down it some fifty feet, lacerating his hands terribly. The others reached the ground in safety, but scarcely had they done so when the flames burst from the windows they had just abandoned. Pourieen lives saved by a bit of string.

Aquatic. |
The coming regatta at Watkins, N. Y., will be the greatest aquatic event of the year. Great interest centres in the pro- fessional single scull race for a purse of $3,000. There are fourteen entries, viz:— Hanlan, Courtney, Hosmer, Ross, Lee, Ten Eyck, Edward Ross, Gaudaur, Ritz, Elliott, Plaisted, Sharlow, Teemer, and iriffin. Hanlan is in perfect condition; he weighs 164 lbs. and is confident of first place. He said the water was very fast, and if the lake was as stiJ] next week as it has been during this, all previous records would be lowered. His Ogdensburg quarrel with Courtney was not exaggerated, and though hopeful he fears Courtney will not row. Inthat case Hanlan reiterates his intention to challenge him for a large amount, and if he refuses to row pay him no further attention. Current report that he and Courtney had a private race for their own satisfaction was news to Hanlan. Hosmer is hopeful of second place, con- ceding first [to Hanlan. Courtney, when interviewed, said he came to row and settle the question of supremacy, and that the Ogdensburg quarrel brought him. He anticipates the fastest race ever rowed, and one of the greatest throngs to witness it. ‘If Hanlan can make the time he claims,” said Courtney, ‘‘he can beat us all, but Ido not believe he can make it, and whether he wins er not he will have the liveliest race of his life.” In reference to his own threat to break up their combina- tion, he said: ‘*They willsee when we come torow. The course is splendid. The race will be honest. I am on record and am going to pull. I would prefer a single heat, batdid not come to object to anything. The best man is he who wins the most races, and that seems to be Hanlan. He may win here; but I come to decide the issue, not to predict it.”
