Mr. Caron, Thomas White, M. P! ‘Tnis Province wil! to-night be visited by three of the most popular men of Canada. The Province appreciates the honor and bids them welcome. They are all well known as able peli- tivians and eloquent speakers. The vame of * Tilley” is a household word All honour it asa uame bourne by a politician of great ability, great experi- ence, and great inteyrity. Mr. Caron is a younger man from a more disteut Proviuce, and is con- sequently not as well known. He is a son of the late Hon. R. E. Caronyat one time: Lieutenant Governor, of Qtebec. He is a member of t»e eminent law firm of Andrews, Carona & Andrews; and at present occupies the distinguished posi- tion of Minister for the Militia of Canada. Socially he is well known as the Prince of good fellows, an politically he en- joys the confidence of Quebec and the country at large. Mr. White as editor of the Montreal Gazette, as Member of Parliament for Carwell, as one of the most pleasing aud eifective of public speakers, needs no iutroduction to any community in Canada. [Ie has been a warm and steady friend to the Island; and will! ve heartily welcome. We regret that {1eir coming was not sooner known, er thet it could have been ady el! zed.

Fears for the recovery of President Gartield are remove:l by the recurrence of nafevorable symp'oms; and the pros- trate man ia the White House is now again the obiect of universal sympathy and solicitude.

THE RBECHPTION. Tux demonstration this evening in henor of Sir Leonard Tilley, Hon, Mr. Caron and Thomas White. M. P., will, we have no doubt, be creditable to the Liberal-Con- fervative Party and this Province Op the arrival of our distinguished visi- tere in Charlottetown, they will be wel- { ee, and ' Wn. by a wscorted to the ‘‘ Rankin House tc rehlight procession, F PROCESSION, ROUT The procession, headed by one of the city bands, will proceed up Weymouth street to Kent street, alohig Kent street to Queen street, down Queen street to Water sireet, along Water street to Rankin iiouse. THE RINK. Quite a transformation has taken place at the Rink, The old band stand has teen cut down and a spacious platform is erected cross the end, with a raised dias in the sontre of it, for the speakers. The plat- form will seat about 200. All the seats ov the floor of the building face the speakers and will seat about 1,800. The gallery has a double “row of seats, the back ones raised 18 inches, so that every one will have a good view, and will seat DOV. The building, as seated, will accommo- date 2,500 people comfortably. THE DECORATING is well done, and has a very fine effect. The roof is ceiled with white cotton and red and blue bunting, and some very fine and appropriate mottos and banners are hung around the gallery. One at the back of the platform will strike every one on en- tering the building, it having a steam-ship, a locémotive and sailing ship, in large size, painted on it. Great additions and IMPROVEMENTS have been made to the lighting, so that there will not be a dark corner in the building, and, above all, the VENTILATION has been attended to, four large louvre windows being placed high up in the ends of ghe building. Wecan assure all our friends that they will not be overheated, as on other occa- siens and that all who attend on Thursday evening will find the meeting enjoyable as well as very interesting. Notes at Wellington. There has, this summer, been an active demand for lumber. Anglers on the Trout and Grand Rivers have met with fair success when the weather permitted them to fish. Wellington is looking up. Six years ago the town was made ep of Barlow’s mills and the Railway Station. Now the numer- ous inhabitants are demanding a post oeifce. William Barlow, Esq., and his sons—the pioneers of the place—now run one of the largest and best steam grist and saw mills in the West; and they are extending the business to Northam. During several days of last week, the air about here was redoient with the perfume of new mown hay. The hay crop is excel- lent; but the weather has spoiled or par- tially spoiled many tons and dampened the hopes of the farmer. The roads, om the whole, considering the continuous rains, are bot so bad as might he exvected. But there are parts that badly need the attention of the Supervisor. We hope actention will be given. The short piece of road extending from the Western Road,at a point near the Quagmire Bridge, to Wellington; will soon be ready for travel, and will unquestionably be a great advantage to the public, besides mak- ing Wellington the centre of trade between Fifteen Point and Grand River. It is to be hoped that the contractor will have his work fully completed in time for the ‘* haul- ing” of the fall. Murdeck McKinnon, Esq., is perhaps the most prosperous man in this vicinity. Less than a quarter of a century ago he settled on the banks of the Trout River in the midst of a wilderness, Now he lives in the midst of one of our most thrifty settle- ments, is the possessor of eight hundred acres of land—a large part of which is in high state of cultivation—and owns one of the finest mill properties on the Island. His grist mill is furnished the best ma- chinery that covld be obtained in the United States, and the flour he makes,equal to the finest grades imported. _—_—<o-- + Canal Work in Panama. THE PROGRESS THAT I8 BEING MADE TO CARRY OUT THE ENTERPRISE. late issue, says:—There is work in progress, and important work also, and for that, as friends ef the enterprise, let us be thank- ful. in addition to the work going forward at Culebra, Empire, and othér places, at Gatun considerable movement is noticeable. A gentleman connected with the enterprise juferms us that they now have there about 250 men whv are levelling in front of the station for a michine shop, ete. The hill back of the station-house will be reduced about thirty five feet and levelled over an area of between one-quarter and one-half mile square. This they are dojng with pick, shovel and wheelbarrow. When it is ievelied they will put 200 houses on it for their employes. Among things promised we are also told they will have 1,800 laborers at Gatun,1,500 at Buena Vista, and at about the same number at Rio Grande. These it is pro- posed to obtain from the West Indies, Jamaica especially, and the coast. At Gatun will be immense car shops, machine shups, ete. They will lay a double track at Gatun, and a new track to Colon from the rear of Gatun, which they claim will be two miles shorter than the Panama railroad. Lu addition to railroad iron on hand, they intend toimport 12,000 tons more. Ai Buena Vista they will level the hills oppo- site the village, the same as at Gatun,which will be another immense work, and they erect 150 houses. Work at Empire station, and also at Culcbra, will be on the same scale already mentioned. Everything, all the above leveliings and house buildings, must and shall be entirely ready for use in’ less than sixty days. _ - Automatic Copying and Writing Fenci's can be had cheap at G. H.

A Dublin despatch of the 10th says: With the approach of the havest great ap- prehension is felt as to the outcome of the general strike against landlords who have not arranged with their tenants. No laborer can now be got by Beycotted land lords except through the Emergency Com mittee, and it is doubtful if that organiza- tion can supply ail the men necessary at the time when the northern farmers will need ali the help they can get to gather their ewn crops. A namber of the emer- gency men went to New Ross on Tuesday to assist Mr. Boyd, whose son was so foully murdered. There was an exciting eviction on the estate yesterday, the unfortunate tenant being Mrs. Holden, sister of the two Phelans acquitted of the assassina- tion. A large body of police and soldiers went to assist the _ sheriff, and when they arrived the authorities found the coors barricaded with masonry and defended within by six women with unlimited quantities of boiling water and by several men with pitchforks. It took two hours to break in the doors, and then the loft was found oceupied by the defend- ers, who poured buckets of hot water down from the head of the stairs. It was then necessary to clear the house, and Sub. {nspector Webb, with four men, proceeded to mount the steps. The police were ordered to load, and Webb advanced with drawn sword, saying, ‘‘ Now, then, the moment you see me stabbed, fire.” <A man made a thrust at him with a pitchfork, but Webb cut at it with his sword, nearly cutting the handle in two, and, rushing ahead amid a shower of hot water and missiles from above, captured the man and dragged him down. The other police took the remainder of the de- fending party. A testament was sent for, informations sworn on the spot, and the prisoners removed to gaol. Possession hav- ing been obtained, seven emergency men were put in fully armed and with rations, to prevent the honse being again taken by the old tenants. Ifall the crops of land- lords and gentlemen farmers have to be gathered in this way next month there are likely to be some distvrbances between the idle laborers and the Ulster intruders. The laborers sent by the Emergency Committee; which is a purely Orange organization, are all armed with big English bull-dog revol- vers,are drilled and officered, and are at all times ready to defend themselves, se that should they be attacked at any time there would be a desperate fight. lliinois Crop Fails. STREAMS DRY, PASTURES BURNT, AND CROPS DESTROYED — CATTLE TO BE SOLD FOR WHAT THEY WILL BRING. Cuicaco, Aug. 12.—Senator John R. Tanuer, who has just returned from an ex- tended trip through Southern Lilinois, and is thoroughly familiar with the condition of the crops, says that the effects of the long- continu-d dreught cannot be estimated. Not a drop of raa_ has fallen in that part of the State since June 30, and all vegeta. tion is completely withered and dried up from the effects of the hot air that has been sweeping over the country for the past three weeks. It is a matter of great sur- prise to hear that the truth has never been told concerning the condition of affairs in the southera part of the State. There-are many fine farms of 200 acres and over from which not a doilar will be realized this year and he is doubtful if any amount of rain now will:ave crojs. The c.ndition of affairs is altogether unprecedented. The crops heretofore, especially in the southern part of the State, have never failed, For that reason farmers have fed all surpius cora to stock, and depended on this year's crops for subsistence. The actual fact is that generally taroughout southern Llinveis the corn yield will not exceed five bushels per acre, while other crops and fruits have suffered in the same proportion. The Sen ator gives it as his candid opinion that the majority of farmers will be obliged to sell all their live steck at the best prices. they cam get, or drive it out of stall, since they caunot feed it. Even now pastures are as dry and barren as they would be in December, and ali small streams have failed, REVERE HOUSE, Aug..16.—Goe H Pick.
