Supplies are coming forward from New York State on a larger scale than ever before, owing te the low freights. Carloads ‘ good potatoes can be laid down ia Boston from that section at 374 cents per busbel, in- cluding 124 cents for freight and 25 cents first cost, which is five to ten cents a bushel lower than they can be bropght from Maine. This ig an important matter to Eastern potato gcowers, as it is cutting off their trade, and they should endeavor to reduce their charges as soon as possible. New York State and other places farther West have large quantities of potatoes to sell, avd when Boston dealers can get all they want in that direction, they will not be likely to pay 5 to 10 cents more to Eastern shippers. The Patriot, referring to the lecture of Hon. D. Ferguson, to be delivered in Y. M. ©. A. Hall on Thursday next says: ‘The subject (Agricultural Education) is a most important one, and we bespeak for Mr. Ferguson a good au lience on the occasion, Though the Pro- vincial Secretary does not see with us on most political questions, we are not se narrow- minded as to carry our party feelings into . literary, scientific, and agricu!tural ques- tions.” This is very good, but the editors says further: ‘*Despite, therefore, the treat- ment which the edif r of this paper recetved last winter at the hands of the Tories « f Char lottetown, we heartily hope Mr, Ferguson will have a full house on Thursday evening. , Now this may he distorted to mean many things; but it foreibly reminds one of the demagogue whe addressi-d the rabble, saying: “What ever you do boys, dou’t duck him in | Judges |irrespec ive of their solemn obligation to Moncton and Halifax will be well represented in the canine department. LETPERS TO THE EDITOR, - > Srx,—In your issue of the 14th inst., under the heading ‘‘The difficulty about the Clerk of the Crown,” in commenting on the letter of E. J Hodgson to the editor of | the Patriot, you say ‘‘an independent lay- man could not possibly be i:jared by having his name connected with the editorials of THe Examiner, but because Mr. Hodgson is a lawyer and to do so is calculated to engender the ill will towards him of the Judges whose favorable dee’siors he seeks, he is assailed as the writer of the articles on the difficulty which has arisen between the Local Government and the Court relative to the office of the Clerk of the Crown. I presume such a prominent and influential journal as Tue fama knows whereof it speaks, It the decisions of the Judges were given according to-law and justice, and the evidence before them, what could it matter to any lawyer whether the Judges were favorable to him or not ? The presumption that the decisions of the I ars given as a matter of favor, administer the law without favor, suggests to my mind the idea that the system of appaint- ing Judgea for life is not the best system for a colony having responsible Govern- ment, but that it would be better to have them appointed for a term of say five or ten years, or elected as they are in some of the States of the neighboring Republic, so that the favors might be more equitably dis- tributed. In a small colony like this if any citizen should incur the ill-will of the Judges, tthey virtually have the power to deprive him of all protection of rights under the laws of his country.

The Toronto Globe of Jan. 4, among other details of the scenes at the hos pital among the ii jured, by the recent railway collision at Humber, Out., has the following: In ward number One at eleven o'clock last night, lay Patrick Caveney, seem ingly enjoying asweet sleep. He was terribly scalded, and bandages permit- ted only a small portion of his face to be seen. On acouch beside him lay his mother resting, but not sleeping, watching tenderly over her sop.She had becn there since early morning, and stated her intention to remain their till to-day. During the day from time to time, the mother told areporter, her boy would wake and ask: ‘Are you there, Mother? Don't leave me.’ The poor boy was unxble to open his eyes, and it was unknown whether or not his sight was gone, though the doctors yave no hope that it was preserved. Caveney’s mother said she was a widow, aod had been so tor nine years. She came to Toronto in June last with her son Patrick,then aged sixteen, one older son, and three younger children. ‘The oldest son has been out of employment for some months, and Patrick was almost the sole support of the family. It was the knowledge of this that made him say when he awoke on one oceasion, “Oh mother, mother! if I die there will be no one to help you.” The poor mother was almost broken-hearted, but still she bere up bravely. The soundness of the sleep in which he was wrapped at e’even o'clock raised her hopes and caused her to believein the recovery of her son. Alas! a few minutes later he awoke and } whispered “mother” and his anxious mother bent teaderly over him. He could not see her; his poor eyes were Flannels and Blankets, Ch’town, Nov. 19, 1883.

The power against her was mightier than hers, and with a few murmured words the dving boy passed into eternity.

He commenced business in a little shop on the Strand over fifty years ago,and might never have gone be- yond it, were it not that he bethought himself to make use of the advertising: columaos of the newspapers. His first advertisement appeared Oct. 15, 1837. In 1842 he spent $25,000 for advertise- ments; in 1845, $50,000; in 1851, $100,- 000; in 1855, $150,000; and for the past twenty years on average of $200,000 per year. Asa consequence of this} generous use of printers’ ink he died worth $25,000,000, most of which he has bequeathed to charatable objects. He had already while living erected and endowed a woman's college and a hos pital for theinsane ata cost estimated at $10,000,000. By his death London loses one of her most philanthropic citizens, and the whole newspaper world one of their best friends. = a Thesum of £409,888, or in round figures $2,000,000, was wy by horses in stakes in matshes in Engiand in 1883. Of this number the two-year-olds won over £141,000, the number of prize- tukers being 322. There were 251 three-yeurs-old winners, and 269 four year-old and aged horses. The average for two-year-old winners was a_ little over £400, that for 3 years a trifle more than £500. Altogether there were 742 winners and 1,227 non-winners, or 2069 horses on the turf. As there were some 10,090 starters, each horse on the average should have run five times. — ee A prece of tine machinery that is composed of steel, iron, brass, copper, gold or silver that Brown cannot mend or mace new, you may just as well throw it way.
