THan the following paragraph from The Week, a better comment upon the gymnas- tic exhibition given at the rink last even- ing could not be made: “ Athiotic training begets in boy and man a confident and resolute spirit, 4 graceful and manly bearing, 4 prompthess in danger and a mental and physical ability to help oneself and ethers at the call of suddenjemergency. Moreover, the mod- erate use of gymnastics develops and strengthens the nerve, muscle and sinew, promotes the circulation of the blood and gives vigour and endurance to both mind and body. What is good for the individual is good for the nation. We cannot expect to find manly energy and physical perfec- tion where healthful games are publicly discouraged and even legisl sted againat.”’ +++. Admissions. Tre Patriot lays stress upon the admis- sion of THe Examiner that the country was defrauded by Larkin, Connolly & Co., and by Mr. Thomas McGreevy, M. P. It is the habit of Tue Examiner to admit— frankly, if regretfully—-the facts which have been ptoven against unworthy mem bers of the Liberal Conservative Party, however scandalous and disgraceful they may be. We hope that THe Examiner will never appear as the champion of men who arte guilty of robbery our other wrong doing. And we hupe, tvo, that THE Ex- AMINER will never attempt to procure the of the innocent with the Liberal Party are now condemnation guilty,—-as_ the trying to do. —_———___—__ — 0+ 0+e ——__- ——_— Very Like a Job. A cory of « notice of road sale, po.ted by one of the grit supervisors, has been for- warded to Tue Examiner. It naro handwriting—not printed—part of it not very legible, and reads as follows : Road Sales. Road District No. The subscriber will sell at Public Auction to the lowest bidder the Repsirlng of Roads in the above mentioned district, as follows; Georgetown Road McMillan Mills 12 James G Judson Supervisor is in ordi- 9 Queen’s County Lot 49 Oct 1 1891 The first point to be noted about this ex- traordinary notice is that neither the time wor the place of sale is mentioned. Are we to conclude that certain favored friends of the Peters-McLean administration have received private information upon these two important pointe while the public at large is kept in the dark? We have noted that some of the grit supervisors have not ouly had handbills printed, but have had their sales advertised in the pariy news- papers—an act never authorized or per- mitted by the late Government. But this supervisor has put outa little written thing which few men could see or read, and no man could understand! There’s a sus- spicious look sbout the transact‘on. 7- - Whitewashing Wanted. —_— Mr. L, H. Davigs, M. P., is not satis- fied with the law as it stands in respect to controverted elections. He has a case in court. So he is pressing for a change in the law to rid him of the responsibility for the corrupt acts of his supporters and agents. He is reported by the Ottawa corres- pondent of the St. John Sun to have— — “ * * ¢ * © expressed the hope that even if some other parts of the measure were not brought into effect, those which cleared the candidate of responsibility for certain classes of corrupt acts by his supporters should not be deferred. He suggested a further re- laxation, by which it would be provided that the section exonerating the candidate from responsibility for offences committed contrary to his order should be extended. He would allow the candidate to escape where the bribery was committed without his knowledge or connivance, and where he had taken a)! possible means to prevent it. “The Minister of Marine interposed the question: ‘Is that to be retroactive?’ to which Mr. Davies replied, ‘No, but it will apply to all cases to be tried.’ “Mr Tupper contended that this would be retroactive legislation, but Mr. Davies de- clared his intention to support it, neverthe- Jess. Mr. McCarthy at this point expressed the opinion that it would not consort with the dignity of the house for members to be voting themselves clear of disabilities al- ready incurred. ‘I think,’ he said, ‘that it would be very extraordinary if we should whitewash ourselves by minimizing the law in the Way the honorable gentleman who last spoke has strengly advocated." Mr. Malock interposed with the remark: ‘We are going to do some whitewashing to-morrow.’ This reference tu the Cochrane case was rather uufortunate, for no one proposed to iaterfere between Mr. Cochrane and the courta of law to relieve him of any penalties he may have incurred. Moreover, no one could have expected Mr. Cochrane to vote on his own Cad, ag Messra. Davies, Mulock, Chariton and Cameron proposed to do on theirs.” Mr. Davies, at least, is evidently a *‘ little dubious” about the retention of h's seat under present conditions ; and so he would like to have the conditions changed. Per- haps he hasn't a guilty knowledge, but only a shrewd suspicioa, of the corrupt means by which he and his colleague are members of Parliament ! ?+-+6-o Notes and Comments. —The letter of Proftssor Shaw, in another column, hes reference to a live queation.

What does this mean 7 St. Peter's Missions. Yesterday morning between the two celebrations of Holy Communion Rev. Father Huntington addressed the people upon Holy Communion as the ‘Sacrament of the Body and Blood of Christ.” There was a large attendance at the service for women in the afternoon, when the mission- er spoke ab ut household duties. Im- mediately following upon this service was one for children, when the memorial chapel was filled to overflowing by little oues with whom Father Huntington proves himeelf to be very much at home. Again in the evening at 7.30 the Church was filled. Father Huntington took for his subject Our Lord’s Temp*‘ation in the wilderness, At the after- service, for which almost every ove remain- ed, the second constituent part of Repent- v‘z., Confession, was dwelt upon, the first part (self examination) having been considered on Monday night. The interest in the mission seems to be increasing with each service, and will, without doubt, be productive of very much good.

Kach one who took part acquitted himself in « capital manner, considering the short time the gymnasium has been open and the very little practice put in during the warm weather. Galbraith’s baud rendered ex- cellent music during the evening, and two clowns kept the audience oa the broad grin. Che calisthenics, dumbbell and Indian club exercises, by a class of sixteen, were well executed, and. the performances on the high and low bars, parallel bars, wrial rings, vaulting horse, ladders, swing- ing poles and high horizontal _ bar, were excellent. Indeed, the manner in which many of the feats were performed would be creditable to profeseional gymnasts. The tumbling, too, was good, and the camel run very amusing. Mr. King is to be congratulated upon the good work he has done since he became instructor, as exemplified by last night’s exhibition, and the members of the association who took part are deserving of great credit for the progress they have made. Mr. King leaves for Har- vard to-day, to resume his studies. We have not heard whois to be his successor, We trust, however, that a man fully competent te carry out the work so well begun will be secured, 2. 2 oe -~ - Botanical.

The Mission Church, Boston, Mass., was the scene of a very pleasing event on the morning of the 16:h Sept, the occasion being the marriage of Mr D. F, McDonald and Miss ElizaCahill, both of Charlottetown. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. M. J. Carduke, C.8.S. R. Miss Annie McKenna, formerly of Tignish, acted as bridesmaid, and the groom was supported by Mr. John M. Cahill, brother ot the bride. The bride was attired in a travelling dress of steel grey. After partakiag of breakfast at the home of the bride’s brother, the happy couple took the train for Wor. cester where they will remain a few weeks with friends. The bride was the receipient of many beautiful and valuable presents from her friends in Boston and Charlotte- town, THe Examiner extends congratu- lations, Exhibition at Crapaud. Pursuant to notice, a meeting was held in Crapaud Hall on Saturday evening, the 19th inst., to consider the advisibality of holding @ local agricultural exhibition for Townships 28 and 29, on Crapaud Driving Park. After considerab’e discussion by the farmers and others, it was finally agreed to hold an exhibition of stock, roots, vegetables. etc., etc., about the 15th of October, of which due notice will be given. The following gentleman were appointed managers: Matthew Smith, Esq , Hampton; W. H. Collett, Westmorland; Henry Daw- son, Tryon; W. W. Cameron, Augustine Cove; O. B. Wadman, Crapaud. The above committee of managers will meet at Crapaud on Saturday evening, the 26th inst., at 8 o'clock, sharp, to make final arrangements, Mr. Moore, the manager of the park, will have some good races on the same day, of which notice also will be given. ere +e —It is a mistake to suppose that the man creating the greatest furore is accomplishing the most.

Sir,-—-I was greatly pleased to receive the following letter from Mr, Albert Mutch, Southport, Lot 48, of your Island. As the letter contains several important questions, the answers of which should be of interest to your farmers, | have thought best, with your kind permission, to reply through the columns of THe Examinen. Mr. Mutch says : “Your speech at our Exhipition last autumn and your subsequent letters to Tue ExaMINer in regard to rape growing, as « means Of fattening lambs, aroused my curivsity enough to lead me to sow a small piece last spring, about the firsas of July. | now wish to describe the crop, and with your permission ask a few questions in re- lation to the growing and feeding of rape. I have about one-fourth of an acre. The crop ir about two feet high. _ I sowed at the rate of about two pounds por acre, which is possibly too much seed to use, as a great many of the under leaves are dying. The crop looks fairly healthy, but not nearly so healthy as turnips alongside, It is growing on stubble after one crop of oata from ley. The ground should grow 200 bush. potatoes per acre with the same dressing and manuring. How does that crop compare with your crop on similar ground ? How many bush. of oats would it probably take to fatten 20 lambs with one acre of such rape? I mean such lambs as you mentioned having seen in the steamer going over from the Island last autumn. From my experience with corn, potatoes, and sometimes with turnips, [ would think thatsod ploughed in fall or early i spring, the right place for growing rape. I would pulverize the top thoroughly with the disc harrow and drill up without disturbing the sod, leaving the sod to feed the roots in its decay. 1 find that corn under each treatment will yield double that on similar ground with sod turned up and pulverized. Am I correct in regard to rape ? In reference to feeding off do you use hurdles, or arethey of any use? I[ have heard that in England they sow mustard with the rape to prevent scouring. Is there any advantage from this? In feeding oats with rape what number of lambs would it be proper to feed together so as not to crowd troughs? Would it be _ best to turn the lambs off the rape onfro a sod field every evening and feed with oats in the morning before turning on again / What epecial fertilizer is most suitable for growing rape, say on good sod treated as above ?” Mr. Mutch then gives epecial reasons for asking the above questions which are per- gonal in their nature and which lI, there- fore, do not feel at liberty to send for pub- lication. I desire to say, however, that I am delighted with his plans for future work in this line. In reference to the questions I would answer as follows :— 1. The rape grown by Mr, Mautch ig quite as good as ours this season, though ours is grown after rye, which was made into hay and silage early in June. The yellow leaves underneath may be caused by thick sowing, by lack of nitregen in the soil, by sowing too early, and by certain peculiarities of season. Some seasons it does not appear so rugged as turnips and in other seasons it looks even better. 2. The quantity of oats required for one lamb per day pasturing on rape is probably one half pint, but future experiments may modify this statement. The amount requir- ed, therefore, will depend on the length of time during which the rape will be pastured. I believe your seasons for pasturing rape will be much longer than ours, a8 your autumns are milder. number of lambs may be fed oats simul- taneously if they have sufficient trough room. The troughs should not be too long and they should be placed a little distance apart. Last year we fed as many as 300 at one time in the same field. 3. Mr. Mutch is perfectly correct in his opinion regarding the value of sod turned under in growing rape, The decaying sod furnishes nitrogen xo easential to success in rape culture. We find that we get good results from ploughing under aod, growing rye and following with rape the same season. 4 We have not used hurdlesin feeding off the rape. We do not look upon their use as% necessity, but lam not prepared to say that they wil not be found serviceable in the future. 5. We are now experimenting in growing white or table mustard, to ascertain the proper time to sow the mustard along with the rape so that the former will not ripen before being pastured. We will reqtire to experiment another year before 1 ean speak of the value of mustard, along with rape for the purpose indicated. 6. We have found it an vdyantago to x}. low the Jambsto go into an adj ining sod field whenever they are so minded, and to go back again into the rape in the same way. They should have access to all the salt they will take. They eat some grasa, they also prefer to lie down upon it and the grass and sa't both tend to prevent. scouring. 7 In our expesience we have found thot uitrate of soda is the best commercial fertilizer to use along with rape. The quantity to apply will largely depend upon ths nature and condition of the soil, but 100 ponuds an acre will produce a marked im. provement in the yield. We have not ag yet tried sulphate of anmonie, De vour people generally know that we have 200 of your lambs feeding at present upon cur rape, and we are going to make money out of them after carrying them 1)50 miles, I will speak later regarding thef quality of these lambs. Ii I say some things is doing so which your farmers may not like I hope they will bear with me. People may feel like abusing the physician who probes the sore, but when it is healed their gratitude arises. I willonly add at present, that if your farmers would but use dark faced rams of the pure breeds in their flocks it would add very much to their returns in a single year. i desire to say further that you have in your midst one who is well qualified to in- struct you in regard to growing rape.
