Ir is not necessary to go so far as Colo- rado to mine for silver. A mine discevered at Musquedoboit, Nova Scotia, from whiclt* the quartz assayed has been
found to yield-
Trace of Gold.
Silver, per ton 1053 ounces.
Lead 6 per cent.
The Halifax Herald says :—‘‘ When it is taken into consideration that the presence of silver in ore te the extent of say 30 07. to the ton, is generally found sufticient to pay for its extraction, the rechness of the ere can be imagined. In addition, the specimens sent were from mere surface rock, which of course is not nearly so rich as the lea: itself, which has yet to be dis- covered.
We believe that Nova Scotia is as rich in minerals as Colerado er any other State of
the Republic.
Tar King’s County Advertiser calls atien- tion to the following paragraph in the Toronto (lobe:
‘* It is computed that since Confederation the Legislative Council of Quebec cost half a million of dollars. And for this money the people of that Province have nothing to show but several acts of flagrant partizans)\ip.
And reinarks :—
‘*Since Cenfederation, our L. Council has cost at the smallest estimate upwards of fifty thousand dollars (50,000). After saddling this country with every measure which it hated and epposed, our Legislative Council seem mere determined than ever to feed upon direct taxation. * . Now, we cannet see how the people of Quebec and Prince Edward Island could lose anything by adopting the system that obtains in Ontario. In that populeus and wealthy Province, the qualification for electors is based upon property exclusively, and the fact that we are content to imitate Ontario in everything else, is the surest sign that its elective system will be uni- versally adopted throughout the Dominion in due time. We believe the number in this Island at present whe are under the necessity of voting upon their franchise is a mere handful ; instead of haviug a ‘ fivat- ing population ’ we are very much mistaken if seven-eighths ef the people could not vote upen rexl estate to-merrow. In order, then, todo away with this political bug- bear styled the ‘floating population,’ we would recommend an investigation upen this subject, and if it can be shown nine- tenths of the electors can yote upon rea! estate, there should be no delay in framing a measure based upon such a basis.
Tur misrepresentations of the Putrivt — foiled in its endeavors to bring political discentent, with its attendant evils, to the breasts cf the busy and now prosperous people of this Province—are very gross. For instance, it even tries seriously to ereate the impression that ‘‘ The Purchase Act,”’ to which we referred in con- nection with the $800,000 allowed by the Dominion Government, was not the ‘‘ Com- pulsory Land Purchase} Act, of 1875,” by which the proprietors whe refused to come te terms were compelled te sell, but one of the Land Purchase Acts passed in ante- union days! It is, however, satisfactory to have the assurance of the Patrivi that (with intention at least) it has made no at- tempt to ‘‘ sow the seeds of dissafection;” for, from this we infer that there is nothing organic about its complaint, and that a change of administration would make !¢ all right again.” The case of the Herald, we regret to note, is less hopeful. At present it gives no signs of improvement. But, as it is now wrestling with a state- ment of ‘igures, it may be better yet. Per- haps our assurance that the Minister of Marine and Fisheries did not supply the figures we administered last week, and has
Land
nothing whatever to do with any of our editorials, may, in the meantime, have a seothing effect ori our rather interesting, but atrabilous patient. It is not, we think, necessary at present to give further atten- tion to either case. One is, apparently, progressing favorably. The ether is, we fear, past the reach of any remedy, unless it may be another sop from the Govern- ment. A solution of the following ques- tiens may, however, keep the editorial mind employed, and thus ward off the fatal melancholia :— .
If the prices the people pay for imported goods have, since the date of Confedera- tien been reduced, on the average, by upwards of twenty dollars in the hundred, how has the public burden been increased by Coniederation /
If the functions of Government trans-
ferred to the Dorfiinion, under the terms of Union, are much better performed than they were before the Union was consum- mated, where /s the grievance !

Universalist ininister,
Ephriam Reid, a Ludiow Hall to as
preached & sermon in large an audience as ever gathered in that building. His subject ‘* What Univerralists believe, and why they believe it.” Myr. Reid did notumpress his hearers very favorably with the doctrine of Uni- versalism. He statéd in Summerside that the people labored under an erroneous idea as to what Universalist believed, and the ubject of the meeting was to tell them about the Church, what they believed, and te give their reasons for believing it. He then told what they believed in, which simply amounted to the universal salvation of man, and that not one ef the human race would ever be shut out from the Kingdom of Heaven. What they did not belieyein was the Divinity of Jesus Christ and future puygishment. Mr. Reid endeavored tu give his reasons for what he believed and what he did not believe, but the general opinion is that his reasons did not amount to much, and that it would take a better and smarter man than Mr. Reid to convince them that what he believed wasright. Next Sunday Mr. Reid is going to preach on ‘* The Uni- versalist’s opinion of controverted texts,” at three o'clock.

Un Monday, the 2nd of August, the Can- ada ‘Temperance Act was declared to be in force in Prince County. On that eveninga mass meeting of the inhabitants of Sum- inerside was held in Ludlow Hall, and stirring temperance speeches were delivered by the leaders of the cold water army. At this meeting a Prince County Temperance Alliance was organized, and a vigilauce committee appointed, whose special duty it was to bring any infractions of the law to the notice of the proper officers so as the guilty parties could be punished and the law upheld. Since then the question has been often asked, ‘‘ Is it in force?” But we fear that the law is being violated time and again. It is nothing strange to see
men reeling through the streets in day- time under the influence of liquor ; and
» people boast of being able to buy as much
liquor in Summerside now as they did be fore the law was put in force. We think it would be well for the temperance people to wake up—what they have been fighting for so long they have within their grasp. We think, tov, that it would be well for the vigilance committee to exercise just a little more vigilance in this matter.
On Tuesday evening last Central street was tgansformed into a race-course, to the great danger and annoyance of foot-passen- gers. It is really too bad that our ‘* sport- ing men” are allowed te use the principal thoroughfare of the town to try the speed of their horses. People crossing the street have to show considerable agility at times in order to escape being hurt by these ‘sports’ in furious driving. Our town Council have been engaged in passing by- laws during the past few months, and among these passed is one prohibiting dis- orderly driving. It seems that those who are paid to enforce the laws of the town wink at such conduct.

Exhibition has been published. The Ex-
hibition takes place on the 7th day of Octo- |
ber next.
The County Court opened here on Fri- rn A day. There are some 200 cases to come before this Court at this session.
It is said that the Court House square is to be fenced in. This is a step in the right direction and a much needed improvement. The Progress adyorates the planting of trees around the building. This, too, would be a good idea. Let us have a good fence around it first, and then look for the trees. Do not let us ask for too much at once, for fear we would get none at all.
