We says the purchaser is a liquor dealer as well as the seller. Worcester gives the mesning of the word Dealer—one who deals; a trader. Trader—one engaged in trade; 0 merchant.” So, if the Herald is right, the late Mrs. Vance was a merchant. He wants to know “‘ where the responsi- bility of the ancient liquor dealer dissolved into the infamy of the modern liquor.” It is hard to say. It was not respectable in the days of the prophet Habakkuk, for he pronounced s heavy woe, a curse, on ‘* bica thas giveth hia neighbor drink, and maketh him drunken also.” Nor in the days of Solumon, who wrote, ** Look not upon the

were imposed in some cases on leading citizens.”
Yes, Sir, the Stipendiary Magistrate is to be congratulated for acting up to the laws made for his guidance. No citizen will find fault with him for doing that which is his duty without fear, favor or affection. But the question arises, what is the reason all these summonses ure requir- ed to be issued? The answer naturally suggests itself : ‘* because the law provides forit.” Bot should not the City Council who make the laws provide machinery to carry them into effect ? I mean, that they should appoint a proper person who should give bonds, &c., for the faithful perform- ance of his duty, to whom the citizens could apply to have the work done, and if applied to and the work neglected, then let him bear the responsibility ard not the law- abiding citizen. But as matters stand at present, everybody is seeking the services of a certain individual (Mr. William Byers) all requiring his services at one and the same time—those who can offor him the
and thus evade being summoned ani fived. Those of the poorer class have to wait and before Mr. Byers can attend to them they are summoned, and fined, however anxious they may have been to comply with the law. I think, Mr. Editor, that every citizan will agree with me that the City Council should take this matter in hand at once and appoint a proper person as City Scavenger. The office would be at least self- sustaining, if not a scurce of revenue to the cfty. Yours, &c., A Citizen.

The Unanswered Question.
Sm,—‘‘ Enquirer” asked some time ago in the Tue Examiner (honestly wishing to find out) by what process the word religion, as commonly asserted, could be derived from either relego or religo, the same being a little bit of philological work beyond his solution, and more than that ‘‘Enquirer” didn’t believe it could be done.
Then a respondent calling himself “Reply” gave him contumely and belittle- ment enough to sink an iron-clad, but that re all right and proper, because such is customary in Charlottetown from politics ‘to dog fights, but the question remains jstill unanswered. Now if ‘‘Reply” will lay ‘aside his ‘‘Sir Oracle” style for a few ‘moments, *“Eaquirer” would like to express

St is |Eurely a noun of variable number, being ‘derived from the Latin /egio, which is from lego, to collect (i. ¢., choose to come to- igether), and, further, it is a mistake to ‘suppose the word legion to have been in ‘Roman times exclusively a military desig-

‘(chap. v., verse 9) otherwise used, and the ‘reason given as well. Shakespeare’s use of lit is in the same sense, that of “many,” a ‘multitude, a congregating crowd. The ad- ‘option of the word legion by the Senate, to designate a battalion of Roman ‘diers, was drawn fiom ihe common language of the people, where it had ‘always been used to designate a multitude, or many together, so that before Rome put the word to military use it had an estah- lished meaning that was rooted in the

,two strange men proceeded on about a mile, when one of them calied to the house of Mr John Furness to obtain some pro- vision, stating that he was very hungry and had travelled from Charlottetown, while the other kept cn. On their wey they passed Mr. Finlay’s hotel, and did not callin. On nearing the house the stranger pulled his hat down over his face, and no part of his features was visible above his eyes. As breakfast was on the table, Mrs. Furness requested Lim to go in and par- take; but he would not go in, sayiug he was ‘in a hurry, and- would sooner have some bread. She therefore gave him some bread, for which he offered pxyment, but she declined, and expressed her astonish- ment why he did not callat Mr. Finlay’s and get his breakfast. To this he muticred a reply and struck out after his companion. This sneaking and cowardly conduct on the part of strangers is not met with every day, and looks rather odd. Yours, &., TATTLE TALE.

Centra Line School Examination.
The semi-annual examination of the above school took place on 15th inst. The teachers and a number of parents and visi- tors were present. The pupils were ex- ‘amined in all the branches taught in the 'school, and appeared to have accurate |knowledge cf them. The three prizes so kindly offered by Hon. D. Ferguson were | awarded to the following pupils :-—
Sarah Alice Cantelo— Proficiency in Arithinetic.
George D. McDonald— Proficiency in Reading.
Mary Ann Kent—Proficiency in English.
The parents, pupils and teacher— Miss | Mary B, Power, of this district, tender \their thanks to Hon. D. Ferguson for his ; kiadness in presenting these prizes, which ‘are an item among the mavy examples of | his lively interest and zeal in educational | affairs. } Centre Line, Juna 15th, 1885.

Literary Curiosities.
The attention of literary curiosity hun- | ters was attracted by the famous Latin dis- 'tich which we had occasion to use a few days ago :—
Conturbabantur Constantinopolitani ) Ilnuumerabilibus solicitudiaibue.
We have been repeatedly osked if there |is any mate to this polysyllabic statement ‘in English. The only one which we can ‘recall at the present moment is to be found in a burlesque drama by Carey, produced in 1734. tis, however, im every way in- ferior to the foregoing, consisting, as it i docs, of fanciful names given to two of his iheroes. It is one of the richest pieces of ec writing in the language, as the ! following will abundantly show :—
Let a coach be called, | And let the man who calls it be the caller,
| And in his calling let him nothing call,
| But coach, coach, coach! O, fora cosch, ye gods !
