Withers, in the 89ch year of his age, hav- ing held the oflice of Queen's Printer of that colony for over fifty-eight years. From the leading journals of the Colony, we gather the following incidents in his life and death : ‘It is with deep and heartfelt regret that we announce this evening the end of the career of one of St. John’s oldest and most respected citizens and the patriarch of the journalistic and typographical profes- sion in this country. John C. Withers, Esq., publisher of The Royal Gazette, pass- ed this morning peacefully away to the just man’s reward. A man of untarnished probity, of kindly manner and friendly ad- dress, he was held in the highest esteem by all classes.— Telegram, Nov. 24th, 1890. ** Mr. Withers was a typical member of the good old Church of England all his life and in all the social relations of subject and citizen it is sufficient to say of him that he was loyal to his Queen, patriotic to his county, kind to his neighbors, charitable to the poor and courteous to all. So that, , without extravagance, we may adapt to the ‘deceased Queen’s Printer the well-known ‘ poet-laureate, and modestly say of him (as he would wish to have it eaid) And thus he bore without abuse The grand old name of gentleman, He was « good husband and father, an ex- ‘emplary Christian, a kind and sympathiz- ,ing friend, and thoagh remarkab!y modest ‘and unobirusive, he endeared himself to | those who had the opportunities of discov- ering the true metal that was enclosed be- /neath the unostentatious exterior of our revered friend. He had seen strange | Vicissitudes in politics in his day, but ap- ‘pears to have preserved such an impartial | attatude in his dealings with all parties as to have won universal respect and con- fidence. He passed peacefully away, sur- rounded by the remaining members of his family, who ministered to his Jast wants land wishes, with the love and sympathy ‘alike creditable to both parties.—Times, | Nov. 26. This morning all that was mortal of the | late John C. Withers was laid to rest in the beautiful little cemetery of the Church England. The cortege was composed of many of the city’s most prominent citizens, taembers of the legislature, representative men, clergymen of the Church of England, ‘and a deputation composed of the president, treasurer, secretary and a large number of the members of the St. John’s Typograph- ical Union. The burial service was im- pressively read by Lord Bishop Jones, assisted by the Rev. Mr. Hancock. The final prayers were recited at the open grave amidst profound feeling and evidences of deep emotion by all present, everyone of whom were conscious that they were seeing the last of one whose life was a lesson of ‘rectitude and good will to all men—one worthy of everlasting reward.—T'elegram, ‘ Nov, 26 Mr. Withers had many relatives and friends in Prince Edward Island, and was anuncle to J. C. Underhay, M. P. P. for St. Peters. Tue Cost or Ir.—Halifax having recently 'farnished a new city hall, has been taking /account of the coat. It appears that the ' building and site cost $140,000, with some- thing like $10,000 more for furnishing. | ' Booming iN THE Sxnow.—-The Moacton Times says: Ezra Bishop brought into our office on Saturday, a buuch of pansy blossoms picked in the snowstorm that raged that day. The capabalities of this climate are only beginning to be understood, ee Heavy Wearuer.—Our exchanges re- port that a large amount of snow has fallen in Pennsylvania and as far south as Vir- ginia, while a furious rain and wind storm has visited New York, causing damage to property. Business was practically sus- pended in Pittsburg on Wednesday. | A Yoururut Frresvc.—A Montreal des- patch says that McKeracher, the youth who set fire to the high school, has been sent to the Court of Queen’s Bench in next March to stand his trial. Nichol and Clare, the other two boys implicated, were also remanded to the Queen’s Bench. McKeracher’s bail was fixed at $3,000, the other two at $1,000 each. Law Scrr Toeatenep.—A Biddeford, Me., man tovk a very bad way to collect a debt the other day. He stole the debtor's favorite dog, painted him over and sold him back to his unsuspecting master for just the amount of the old debt. But the new hue was not a fast color, and washed out, and the owner has discovered the trick and threatens a law suit. —_——— Tue NegwspaPERMEN’s Boyrcorr. — A late despatch from Toronto says: Much surprise was expressed by some of the local military men this morning because none of the morning papers reported the Se re ee ae oa ae Veeting of Lobster Packers banquet to Sir Anolphe Caron and Maj»r- General Herbert last night. It is under- stood the reason was simply because none of the newspapers were notified of the affair or received invitations to attend until the speaking had actually commenced when a messenger was despatched to the various offices, An Arrectine Story.—The news comes from Terrebonne, Quebec, that a boy seven years old, who died there last week from diphtheria, displayed a most marvell- ous courage in the face of death. Sitting on a chair near the stove, he warned his parents that his end was fast approaching, and then proceeded t» dispose of the sev- eral small articles which belcnged to him. To one of his little brothers he gave his Island Railway to parties attending the). knife, to another his pocket-book and reduced 50 to mane h boots, and to his sister a case EDWARD HACKETT Inspector of Fisheries, P.

Grand Tracadie. Sir,—It seems too bad that in this sec- tion of the country where, by mail contract, we have only a bi-weekly mail, and as usual at this season of the year, we are generally from six to eight days without a mail from Charlottetown. Since the Ist of December the mail courier has failed to perfurm his duty according te contract ; also, mails which should leave here at an early bour in the forenoon are generally delayed until the afternoon. There must certainly be neglect on the part of some of the officials, Why not give us a tri-weekly mail, aud have it carried by rail direct from Charlottetown to Bedford, and thence car- ried here by some responsible person who will be able to perform his duty according to contract. Is there no remedy for us, or have we get no person to look aiter our mail in- terests? We are not hard to please, and do not at any time ask anything unreason- able of the Government. We will now >e satisfied, if, at an early date, a change for the batter will take place. BuMBLy. iid Murray Harbor Notes. The following vessels cleared from this port for Nova Scotia and Boston; Dee, 11 —William Gaffney, Smith, master, 2,550 bushels potatoes and 20 bushels turnips, Dec. 15—Julia Ward, Reynolds, master, in ballast. Dec. 27—Bessie 8S. Keefer, Hor- ton, master, 3,800 bushels potatoes, 11 bags potatves and 1,000 ibs. pork. The following vessels are in port safe for the winter :—Tihe Belle, Jackson, master ; Samuel Drake, Chapman: Julia Ward, Reynolds; Belle of the Bay, Cahoon; Julia, A. McKinnon; Genesta, Jordan; Can’t Help It, Herring; Amoret, Roberts; J 8, Irving. Most of the vessels have arrived home safely, but, sad to say, not all. The M. E. Lloyd, Munn, master, in coming from the Gut of Canso encountered that violent storm of the Ist inst., and, as it is sup- posed, the captain steered for Bayfield, but in atteupting to enter Pomquet Harbor the vessel struck on the bar, czpsized and turned bottom up. The crew were never seen afterwards. The people beg here to tender, through your columns, their heart- felt sympathy to the two widows in their sad bereavement, We have very goud sleighing at present, and if it continues we certainly will expect a lively time between Christmas and New Years. The Women’s Missionary Society gave a | public entertainment on the evening of the |16:h inst. Reports were read by the foi- jlowing ladies: Mrs Silas James, Presi- dent; Mrs. Wm. Prowse, Cor. Secretary, jand Mrs. James Brooks, Ree, Secretary. | All these reports were indeed creditable, jespecially the last one. From it is learned 'that the receipts for the past year were $64 96, that their membership at present is 34, while that of the Mission Band is 32. Readings were given by Miss Louisa Beck and Mrs. J. Ruberts. Miss Julia Brehaut sang a solo in tones clear and sweet, the best of the evening. The following teck part in dialogues, which were well acted:—- Miss Mary McKenzie, Miss Louisa Bock, Miss Julia Brehaut, Miss Dinah Brooks, ‘Miss Gertie Machon, and Miss Tillie Beck. Rev. John Lawson from Alberton, also ad- dressed the meeting. He spuke of the ben- efit to be derived from this society, that it was not worth while to advance argument to sustain the women in the position they have taken on the great moral question of our day. Being the ,be)pmeet of man, she should work hand in hand with him in the great moral conflicts in which he is engaged and help him to struggle safely through. Having the wigue of eloquence and that excellent capacity, love, she can accomplish a great And viv) y work. He showed how women were -s ciated with Christ in his labors, tua .uey followed him trom his birth place in the manger till he cried or the cross “It is finished.” He then gave a list of excellent women of past and present— Lady R. Russel, Bronte, Elizabeth Frye, Ann Hamson, Lady Jane Grey, Caroline ot Spain, ete, ete. He then closed his address by urging ‘hose who were not members to join this society. The choir on suitable occasions rendered good services throughout the enter- taiement, A vote of thanks was then tendered te the Rev. M. Lawson, for his very eloquent ad- dress, and tothe choir for their excellent services, after which the meeting was closed and everybody went well pleased to their homes.-——CoM. Dee. 22, 1890. nO eee Souris Notes. A correspondent writes: We are sorry to hear that Mr. John McLean, of the Island Railway is ill, and also that Mr, Ban Cox met with an accident in the railway yard that has confined him to his house for the last two weeks, We hope to see both these gentlemen at their post of duty before long. The potato trade has been very brisk for the past month. The merchants of this place have loaded four steamers and about one hundred and ten schoouers and fifteen square riggers, Mathew McLaine & Co., and Knight and Morrow being the principle shippers, Some of the other merceants loaded # few small schooners for those gentlemen, We understand that Mr. G. G. Sterns has two smatl schooners frozen in, in Grand River, which were loading for Knight & Morrow,and A. Currie one in Fortune Bay, which he is loading for the same firm. The Ties. There are marriage ties, and friendly ties, And the ties which business makes; There are solemn ties, and merry ties, And the ties in betting stakes; There are builders’ ties, ard railroad ties, Which an actor can reca!l, But the HOLIDAY Ties, which we adver- tize, Are the pretties* ties of all.
