Ox Saturday eveniag last, between cight and nine o'clock, Mr. John McLean, engine driver, was startled by cries of help coming from the well in bis yard ; going to the well- iouse he found a man struggling in the water below aad assisted him out. His naine was McCullough, When asked how he got into the well, he stated that four men attacked him, robbed him of $75, and then threw him into the well Met uilough was drenched with water, and was cul ond bruised about the body and head. The we il

into which he was thrown is thirty fee’ deer, |

and generally contains three feet of water. How he escaped from the fall without more serious injury, and whether he tells tbe truth about being robbed, are a mystery.

A Pure Philanthropist.

; Str,—The editor of the Charlottetown flerald has written a letter, and—whisper! —to the Patriot. The Herald is the sup- posed organ of the Catholics of P. E Island. Its editor is also a member of the order of Oddfellows, He recently attended a dinner tendered to the G. M. of the Oddfellows, and was chairman at that

dinner, He became highly incensed be-

claims, the proceedings were

} uusreper.ed by connecting the name of the Orange Society with the toast-——‘'Our

| Sister Societies.’ The following is the

j:udstance of the editor’ of the | Hlerald’s letter to the Patriot: ‘‘ I beg to

} say, a8 Chairman on that occasion, that the

toast cf the Orange Order was neither pro-

; posed nor responded to, but possibly your

oe misunderstood a jecular allusion

’ , Calise, as he

thereto by one of the gentlemen present. |} 1 may say further, that Oddfellowship, | under its cons‘itution, does not look upon | the Orange order as a sister suciety.”

Here he endeavors to show that Odd- fellowship has no sympathy with Orange- ism. We venture, taking our lives in our hands, as it were, to differ from the editor of the Herald. All secret societies are condemned by the Roman Catholic Church

Free Masons, Oddfellows and Orange- men included. As far as the Church is concerned, they are one and identical, and no mau can be a member of any such order and yet recognized by the Church as a Catholic.

But we digress. The editor of the Herald poses as the exponent of Oddfellowship, and at the same time, throws a_ protecting arm around the Catholic Church. How grateful] her children must feel tothe editor of the Herald. If he would only show his true colors, and be either an Oddfellow or a Catholic, she might then decide whether to anathematize or canonize him. The Hera/d’s editor is quite a philanthropist in his own way. He is a great man; he has done many great things in his time, and not the least among them is his late brilliant achievment im shielding the Roman Catholic Church from the malignant influence of secret societies. But, seriously,what is the editor of the Hera/d driving at! Is he the self constituted and unsolicited exponent of Oddfellowship, endeavoring to curry favor with the Irish-Catholic readers of the journal he edits! No doubt his brethren of the mystic links will be deeply thankful for the distinguished aid and the prestige he has lentthe order;and at thesametime ‘he Irish Catholics must feel gratified for the graceful manner in which he has smoothed their ruffled plumes. Does he for a moment imagine that they cannot fathom the depths—profound though they may be—of his mind, that they do not despise his scycophancy, and that they are not suth:ientiy astute to read between the lines,

| and estimate his literary-religious squirming

at its proper value /

But we must leave the editor of the Herald,—much as we would like to follow his transcendently radiant orbit through the mystic sky in which he shines as a bright and peculiar star,—to the pleasing contemplation of his own greatness.

[RISH-CATHOLIC. Ch’town, January 12, 1885,

The Footway Question.

Sin,—Charlottetown is not alone in hav- ing sidewalk troubles, but it is alone, per- haps, in having a long suffering community which puts up with these city dangers to life and limb, without claiming damages. The damages in suits now pending against the city of New York by persors claiming to have been injured throagh defects in the street ‘pavements amount to over $1,500,000. It is not wise, claiming exemption from responsibility on account of being ‘‘short” of the ready, while the apathy of the ‘‘Father’s” is contaminating the children to the third and fourth genera- tion, and begetting a carelessness and in- difference to the town’s welfare and individual right, that disgraces the people. Even a million dollar hotel, with every possible endowment of comfort, ease and refinement (inside of it), will not cure the highways and by-ways of the repulsive neglect that will be visible from its luxurious parlors on all sides. What a charming place though, Charlottetown would be for a first-class hotel if it were only clean enough, and repainted, and planted with shade trees, and the door steps set in their proper places, and the Park, which is yearning to have what filth Charlottetown can spare, made to be some- thing more than a name.

The hotel talked of, and the cleaning of the streets not talked of, are two enter- prises which call for the response, ‘‘the one ought ye to do, and not leave the other undone.”

R. C. P. He has had a large rrac'ic? in Prince Edward Island. Dr. Dear- den is a graduate “f McGill College, Montreal, where he passed with the highest honors, He is a young gentleman of much ability. and has held the honor of being professionally engsged in the service of the United States Govern. ment.

It is not often that such mild weather and muddy roads as we have at present are ex- perienced at this time of the year, but it vc- casionally happens.

The 7th January 1874 was a beautiful day with a maxon temperature of 34 deg. which was succeeded by almost continued foggy dull and rainy weather up to the J2th. The maxn reached during this time was 50 deg. The streets became muddy on the 7th, waggons were used on the 8th, the river ice became un- safe on the I1th, and bad sleighing was only to be had on the 15th, and continued so till the 22nd, when another warm spell dissolved the small quantity of snow on the ground, and although the 25th, and following days of the month were very cold (maxn IS deg. below zero), only a little snow fell, and the sleighing was very indifferent. There was only four days of god sleighing during the mouth, and pine days in the month following.

A Millionaire's Death.

An erratic millionaire named Henry Keith, has been found dead from apoplexy in his mansion at Caterham, near London, England. He had lived a life of solitary wretchedness for 30 years. His wife, to whom he was dévotedly attached, and whom he surrounded with every purchas- able luxury, died in 1864. After her burial Mr. Keith never left his mansion, and everything in the house was suffered to go to decay. He never admitted visitors and cooked his own food, which was pro- cured for him by a trusty servant who lived ina neighobring cottage. He slept on a pile of rags and sacking on the floor of a room opposite an open wardrobe, in which were hung his wife’s ball dress and many rich jewels which she had formerly worn. ) The house was furnished sumptuonusly, but | the handsome furs: ure was buried in dust | and the house w. | :describably filthy.
