The services in the Moncton churches were largely conducted by members of the Conference. In the Methodist Church a Love Feast was held, beginning at 9 o'clock. Rey. Henry Daniel, the oldest minister in the Conference, preached atthe hourof 11 o'clock. There was a large congregation, and the venerable gentleman preached a most excellent sermon. In the afternoon and evening, special evangelistic services were held in the Opera House, conducted by the Rev. W. W. Brewer. The building was packed on both occasions. In the afternoon Rev. J. C. Berrie preached avery practical sermon. Addresses were delivered by Rev. D. D. Moore, A. M., and others. Both these services were very successful. Previous to the afternoon service, an open air service was held at the railway crussing, Main Street. Addresses were delivered by Revs. J. Shenton, S. James, and C. W. Hamilton. The congregation was large and attentive. Rev. John Read preached in the Metho- dist Church in the evening. The sermon is very highly spoken of, and was well and vigorously delivered. After the sermon the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper was administered. MORNING SESSION. After prayer by Rev. J. Shenton and J. Simonson, the Journal was read by the Secretary. Rev. Mr. Coffin, the President-elect of the Nova Scotia Conference, was welcomed to the platform and declined making a speech then. Rev.

Fisher, on account of the bereavement he has sus- tained in the loss of his wife. The letter writers were requested to send him a letter expressing the mind of the Conference. Conference next year is to be held on the third Wednesday in June. On motion of Dr. Wilson, it was resolved in future to hold the ordination services on the Sabbath afternoons instead of on Mon- day evenings, as up to the present. Rey. R. 8. Crisp moved that the Confer- ence sacrament service in the future be held on Sabbath atternoons instead of the even- ing. A long discussion ensued relative to the printing of Conference minutes. Some ae advocated a small charge for them. Eventually it was decided to pub- lish them as heretofore withbut cbst tb our made Relief the President was the Union Church people. Several took part in this dis- cussion. Conference then proceeded to the order of the examination of Rev. Geo, F, Daw- son, B. A., previous to his reception into full connection and ordination. Mr. Daw- son passed a most satisfactory examination. It was decided unanimously to ordain him in the evening. Conference adjourned. AFTERNOON SESSION, Conference opened in usual manner. Dr. Pickard reported from the ‘lemper- ance Committee. Conference adopted a resolution pledging itself to stand by the Seott Act, but at the same time declaring that nothing short of the entire prohibition of the importation, manufacture and sale of liquor would satisfy it. And it further pledged itself to use all lawful means to give effect to this resolution. ~ Rev. George Steel reported from the Parsonage Aid Fund Committee. Report was adopted. It granted $50 to Souris when the remainder of the debt was paid. Rev. E. Evans reported from the Mis- sionary Committee. Martin Trueman, Esqg., had been elected a member of the General Board.

The following took part in the discussion onthe above subject : Revs. a. Shenton, ae Read, G. Steel, ¢.. Marshall and Mr. Henry Rackham. Rev. J. Shenton read a memorial from the British Columbia Conference together with report of committee thereon. The memorial stated that some Government officials had charged some of the Methodist missionaries with disloyalty, and had in some =Ways discriminated ayninst hem Committee recommended that the Mission- ary Society make a searching examination into the matter, and if necessary demand a Government enquiry. This was heartily agreed to, BOOK ROOM AND WESLEYAN AFFAIRS. Rev. S. F. Huestis next introduced the affairs of the Halifax Book Room. They were declared to be in a satisfactory state. The sales had been the largest of any year since its establishment, and could now sup- ply books as cheaply as any establishment inthe Dominion. The subscriptions for the Wesleyan were better paid up than for some years. He urged, however, that prompt settlement of accounts be made. Dr. Lathern, editor of the Wesleyan, next addressed the Conference. He claim- ed a close relationship with both Confer- ences. He fully believed in the import- ance and utility of the Wesleyan.

J. R. Coffin, from the Nova Scotia Conference, then addressed the Conference. They had had a successful year. There was a net increase of 700 members. Had experienced some blessed revivals. Their Conference services and sessions had been seasons of profit and harmony. A;Susten- tation Fund had been fairly launched. Now every minister of ten years standing and upwards received a salary of over $600 with free manse and furniture. Still the Sustentation Fund could do more than it hasdone. Their Conference had pledged itself to the prohibition of the liquor traffic. They had not committed themselves to a third party platform. The presence of Dr. Williams, General Superintendent, had a great pleasure tothem. He had fairly captured their hearts. The Presi- dent of the N. B. and P. &. 1. Conferences repliel in a few words.

It was al- leged by the defendant that the note was obtained by fraud, of which the plaintiff was aware. The circumstances under which the contract was made are as follows: A man named Egan (payee of note) called on defendant and induced him to purchase @ quantity of ** shoddy” cloth, which the plaintiff was to have made up into clothing.

The gander is credited with a part of the honor, inasmuch as in ad- dition to his other duties he took care of the first batch while his companions were setting, —Morntcton Times ‘THE DAILY EXAMINER, - - - 4 . > rol” ea NOTES AND COMMENTS. Things Said and Done on the Streets and Elsewhere. Tus is ‘* the glorious fourth,” the day which our American cousins celebrate with such great eclat. To-day every little town has its fireworks display, its military and firemen’s demonstrations, and last but not by any means least, its ‘ oration.” Every person is full of enthusiasm. Even the small boys get filled with it, and burst their banks to buy toy cannons with which to ‘tboom’” the day. Asa result of the latter pastime many of the little fellows worry along through life minus a few fingers. But these little losses do not dampen their ar. dor in the least; neither does it deter others from imitating their actions. Thus the en- thusiasm is kept up, and will continue to the end of the chapter. Here in Charlottetown we are not so en- thusiastic. We celebrate our holidays more quietly. There are specially low fares on our railways and steamboats, and most of the people take advantage of them to spend the day in the rural districts, or in visiting Pictou or some other place. The stores are closed, and business 1s at a standstill. Those who remain in the city have nothing toamuse them. There are, as a general thing, no sports or pastimes, not even a public concert on the Square by one of our bands. Why this is so passes comprehen- sion. Itseems strange that no effort is made to keep people in the city on holidays. A regatta could easily be arranged, or we might have a cricket or tennis match on the Park. Any of these events, if properly conducted, would bring a large number of people into the city, and a good deal of money would be put in circulation. Under existing arrangements the surplus cash at vur disposal is spent elsewhere; but as “‘it’s the custom of the country,” I suppose it is all right. I have often been astonished at the gul- libility of our people. Any person can come from abroad and swindle them right and left, and they do net appear to learn wisdom from experience. All a foreigner has to do after arrival is to make a big splurge, rent a stylish house, drive a flash team, give a few dinner parties or balls, and he can borrow all the money he wants, get credit at the stores, in fact do pretty much as he pleases. The people all toady to him. Their houses, carriages and yachts are placed at his disposal, and he has entree into the ‘** best” society, although nothing whatever is known about him beyond the fact that he lives high and knows how to entertain. In a few months he takes his departure, leaving his creditors in posses- sion of notes which are dishonored at the bank upon which they are drawn. The distinguished stranger has had his fun; but at whose expense / Our farmers are, however, even more gullible than the city folk. Any shoddy cloth man, hay fork agent, atlas agent, in fact an agent for anything under the sun, can, if he belongs to any other part of the world, come here and induce farmers to sign for whatever he may have. It does not make any difference-whether the farmer needs thearticle ornot; theagentitells him he does and that settles it. The docu- ments are signed and the agent is given the best room inthe house during his stay. Everything goes along well till the note falls due. Then there isa row. The article purchased does not come up to expectation, and the farmer objects to paying for it. The agent threatens law. ‘The farmer gets vexed and tells him to go ahead. The case comes before the courts, the farmer loses much valuable time and money, and in the majority of cases the suit. Next year he allows himself to be swindled in a similar manner, notwithstanding his past experi- ence. Let any man from the city try to sell the average farmer an article which he needs at a fair price and see how successful he will be. out an oily-tongued foreig ner can get into his good graces every time. I have little or no sympathy with people who allow themselves to be so easily taken in. While doctors differ on many subjects, they appear to be unanimous on one point, viz : their objection to advertising. Why this is so, [ never could understand. Adver- tising pays in every other business, and | cannot see why the medical profession should be so slow to appreciate its advan- tages. It is just as important to let people k ow at whose hands their ills can be remedied, as it is to tell them where the best and cheapest clothing or household | requisites can be obtained. Why, then, should physicians not make their capabili- ties known through the press? In olden times medical men did not advertize, main- ly for the reason that in their day the newspaper was not what it is now, and the wiseacres of to-day follow in their foot- steps. But it cannot be for the same reasou. Any one who advertises now is branded as a quack, but this does not alter the fact that there are some medical men little better than quacks who do not advertise. Percy. Personal. _J. ©.

Ow1na to the late arrival of the steamer from Pictou with the Stellarton team on board, this match was not called till a quarter to three. McMillan, Captain of the visiting eleven, winning the toss, sent his men to the bat. An agreement was made that in the event of two innings not being finished, the game should be decided by the first. D. H. Robinson and W. A. Weeks, jr., were entrusted with the bowl- ing, and the whole team were dismissed within an hour, evidently not doing justice to themselves, the players showing evidence of timidity at the rapid fall of the wickets. The bowling was superb, scarcely a loose ball being thrown. Two pretty catches were made, one by Moore at cover point, aud one by Rendle at long leg. After a few minutes, G. Robinson and Weeks of the home team went to the bat, and ran up between them eighteen runs. It was seen that the game belonged to the Charlotte- town boys if decided on the first innings. The batting, however, scon lost quality, and the whole eleven scored only 47. Murray and Mellish played well for their respective scores. Mooney’s bowling was very credit- able, and the wicket keeper got in some fine work. After luncheon, the Stellarton boys went again to the bat, and ran up over seventy for five wickets when time was called. Hearty cheers were given for the different teams, and this ended a very pleasant game of cricket. Thanks are due to His Honor Judge Young, Patron of the club, for the refreshments served on the occasion :— STELLARTON, © MeMillan, bd D H Robinson............ 3 D K McDonald, ct D H Robinson, bd W A NG cis ana pCi wkes bap aneheeenke un ] Oy eee We We OAD i etic 5 «5-6 0 vb 0 J Gregory, ct Moore, bd Weeks........... 2 J D Macdonald, ct J Reynolds, bd Robin- ON hala 544 oko bobbed 44548 oN cE 3 W G Miller, bd Robinson ...........0+0.+ 3 J Calton, F068 O68. 6. isc noc cectoweeeeses 0 J Coghil, not out ..........eee-ee ee ao4-48% 2 ee ee Go a en en em 2 B Mooney, bd Robimson...........+.+++-: I OR, 0.
