[his is a brief and simple recital of one incidents that has Charlotte- of the most affecting pe oe : i ever saddened the social life of town. Mr. DeBlois was very highly re- spected He was born and edu- sted in the city of Halifax, and mar ried and settled in Charlottetown in the year 1847. On the death of the late Laurence Gaul Esq., in 1854, he succeeded to the agen forthe extensive estate of Sir Samu (un era. Aiterw rds he be- came agent for Miss Sulivan and Lady (,eorgina Fane. He managed these estates, at a most trying time, with disere- tion, giving the utmost possible satisfac- tlon to his clients without unduly harrass- ing the tenantry. When in 1864, the North British Insurance Company estab- blished an otice here, Mr. De Blois was chosen its agent, and he was making pre- parations to receive and entertain the Com- pany's Inspector when he died. He was also for many years the trusted agent of the Old Sydney Mines Company. He always took a keen interest in politi o. In 1876 he warily espoused the cause of those who opposed the granting of < : a4 State aid to Denominational Schools, nd in the election contest of that ar he was 4a successful can- Davies, The with.

But on the for imation, ui 1884, of the biberal-Conservative Association, he was unanimously chosen President. No better choice could possibly have been» mad The judgment of Mr. DeBlois in matters of politics as in matters of business was excellent. He was honest, independent and religious—a thoroughly good man. In the words of the poet, he was A friend to truth ! of soul sincere, ln action faithful, and in honor clear !

He said he but voiced the welcome of the citizens, Who had received the news of their victories with great gratification. The Mayor desired through him to express his ‘ess and his great re- rret that he able to give them a personal greeting. He had noticed that if they had not taken prizes in every depart- ment, they were always close up to those whe did. In the} Salvage Corps he took an especial interest as its founder, building subscriptions, the wagon now used by them. In his day they thought themselves fairly men, but the men who to-day compose the team have ap parently no compeer in Canada.

In thit spirit he congratulated them on behalf of the citizens, who gladly did them this honor. After a few remarks as to the manner of men against whom they contended, he closed his address by wishing them an honored career ina noble calling only deeds of heroism are honored, and in ranks have and are to-day who take no place be- hind the noblest of GGod’s manhood.

Owing to the. wet weather the torchlight procession was postponed until to-night. The firemen assemble at the Hook and Ladder Rooms at 7.30, and at 8 o’clock the procession starts.

Four detachments of the P. E. Island Brigade Garrison Artillery - wi. eight N. C. officers and gunners each,from No. 1 and 2 Batteries, Charlottetown; No. 3 Battery, Georgetown ; and No. 5 Battery, Montague, carried out their annual gun practice at Halifax, N. S., on Tuesday and Wednes- day of last week. The practice was com- petitive for prizes awarded by the Dominion Artillery Association, and was, we under- stand, afterthe men got the hang of things, excellent. The practice is divided into what is known as preliminary and competi- tive. In the first, eight men of each Bat- tery fired two rounds each, viz., one plugged shell and one shrapnel shell, and from these eight the four making the highest scores are selected, who become the competitors. Numbers 1 and 2 Batteries commenced work on Tuesday, but in con- sequence of the newness of the surround- ings, and their want of familiarity with the and ammunition (the guns being mounted on dwarf traversing platforms)and the ammunition being for rifled guns, their preliminary practice was not satisfac- tory, principally because of the difficulty experienced in obtaining the correct length of fuse. However, towards the end of the lay, as the men became more at home with their guns, the practice improved, and Gun- ouns ner Aitken, of No. 1 Battery, scored the first hit, which he followed up by making another during his competitive practice, cleaning out the targeteand making two direct hits out of three rounds of plugged the other two rounds being shrapnel which do not count towards hits. Nos. 1 and 2 Batteries completed their competitive practice on the following morn- ing, their work being very much improved, Gunners Aitken and Boswell, of No. 1 Battery, and Corporal Moore, of No, 2, making excellent scores. The Georgetown and Montague men then = nt to work, and doubtless profiting by the knowledge gained during the practice of the C harlottetown men, gave the range party quite a _ lively time- in them supplied with targets. tt the correct length of fuse their splendid; nearly every one bursting within the prescribed limit, viz., uinety yards in front of the target. In their competitive practice, Sergt. Fair- hild and Gunner Miller of the George- Lovubping | 4 Slit is were town Battery, and Gunner Stewart, Cor- | : eet 7. | poral Stewart and Gunner Parkman, each } taade direct hits, making five direct hits ror these Batteries out of sixteen rounds of piugged shell. The leading suorbs wore mate by Surge XAMINER, - ~~ | Fairchild and Gunner Miller of the George- | town Battery, and in the Montague Bat- tery the four competitors all succeeded in making top scores, which, in all probabili- ty, will secure them the aggregate prize. The detachments were under the com- mand of Capt, Passmore, No. 1 Battery; and all speak in high terms of the courtesy and kindnes .s extended to them by the Dis- trict Staff of Nova Scotia, Major Wilks, Roy: al Artillery, who supe srintended the pra ctice, and also of their brother Gunners of the Halifax Garrison Artillery, who met | the Staten Islwnders so much that them } them with a true spirit of comradeship. The Garrison Artillery of this Province, | runs, particularly the Georgetown and Montague Batteries, are to be congratulated upon the military spirit ev idenced by them in pro- ceeding to Halifax, im the face of many difficulties and disadvantages, to carry out this practice. The amount granted by the Government for the purpose was wholly inadeauate, and in addition to the = of time, which at this season of the year is quite serious, each man was at consider shi expense, We hope that before this time next year this Brigade will be furnished with a com- plete armament of rifled guns, and that our men will not be called upow to make fur- ther sacrifices of time and means in carry- ing out their annual practice. - Prince of Wales College and Nor- mal Scheol.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. — ome An Acknowledgment. Sir,—The thanks of the driving public and the community generally are due to the keeper of Victoria Park, for the very effi- cient state of the roads in that place, and for the neat appearance of the Park gener- ally. Roads which were scarcely rideable afew years ago, have been so widened and improved that carriage driving on them is a luxury compared to ‘the bone- shaking ex- perience vf the past. I am «# frequent visitor of the Park, and I invariably find Mr. McQuillan hard at work at some im- provement or other, and | have come to the conclusion that this faithful public servant deserves some tangible acknowledgment from those who use the Park fora driving ground, considering the miserable pittance he receives for his services. Buaey. A despatch from Zurich, Ont., says that a body was found on Lake Huron shore near Lakeview. As near as could be made out by the name on the watch it was the body of Wm. Vidal, station master at Wat- ford. He was the son of Senator Vidal, and one of the six young men lost a week ago by the capsizing of a yacht in the storm. This makes the fourth body recovered. <— ‘ : A man named Goring, who lived at Kingston, N. J:, was working in a corn fieli on Thursday, when he scratched his cornstalk. He paid no at- tention to his wound until his arm began to swell, and then he called in a physician, who, however, could do nothing to alleviate Goring’s sufferings.

The “Olivette.” It will be remembered that during the month of May last, the barkentine Olivette, Summerside, P. E. I., bound to Bridgewater, Eng., went ashore on St. Paul's Island, and was abandoned by the | crew. The vessel subsequent ly drifted off, and has been frequently met by steamers from going up and dowu the Gulf of 5t. Law- rence. A telegram was received at the Marine and Fisheries Department on the llth, which states that a fisherman had just arrived at West Point from St. Char- les Island, fourteen miles below Esquimaux Point, where he left the barkentine Oli- vette, waterlogged, in charge of two men. The barkentine has been stripped of sails and running gear by unknown persons and is now ashore on St. Charles Reef. Part of cargo still on board and what seen of it was oats.
