He had attended the Parliament House on the previous night, and returned home in good health. At the inquest held on the body, a verdict was rendered that death was caused by apoplexy, produced by indigestion. CorREcII)N.—-Owing to the absence from the city ot the writer, several mistakes occur- ed in the report of the last meeting of the City Council. The offer for the dredge at Pownal Wharf should hare read $16.50 per day, in- stead of ‘*$1650." The words attributed to Counciller Davy respecting the Local Govern- ment, were spoken by Councillor Beer, and some remarks of Councillor Morris were placed to the credit of Councillor Byrne, and mice Cerad, Tue ‘‘ Avegrt.”—This steamer having been newly fitted with saloon, cabin, etc., Jeaves Pictou every Wednesday morning for Mag- dalen Islands and Gaspe. It is understood that passengers will be conveyed to the Islands and Gaspe at the following exceedingly low rates: Pictou to Gaspe and return, $10 ; Pic- tou to Magdalen Islands and return, 36. Passengers have the privilege of breaking the journey on Thursday at Magdalen Islands and resuming it again on Saturday. ‘To pleasure- seekers, the A//ert offers every inducement. Tue first arrangements for Mr. Beecher’s Lecture was to have had the price of admis- sion at the lowest concert rates, viz., 25 and 50 cents, without numbered seats. But in order to meet the wishes of some of the friends who wanted the chance of securing certain seats, that they might be sure of, whatever time they went, a new set of tickets had to be prepared, the seats numbered, and extra help employed to make the new arrangement reliable,‘for which only ten cents a ticket extra has been charged. Plan to be seen at treo. EF. Full’s, ’ Tue Tea Party in aid of St. Joseph’s Coavent took place at St. Dunstan’s College to-day. The members of the Benevolent Irish Society, St. Patrick’s T. A. Society and %:. Stephen’s T. A. Society, headed by St, Patrick’s Band, marched in procession to the grounds. The tables, we are informed, were excellent, and were it not for the unfavorable weather the attendance would be uncommonly large. As it was a goodly number assembled, and after enjoying a most palatable repast, spent the evening tripping the light fantastic toe and in varicus other amusements. As will be seen by advertizement in another column, the tea will be continued to-morrow, when we hope to see it largely patronized. Henry Warp Bercuer.—Of this cele- brated man who will lecture in the Drill Shed here on Friday and Saturday nights, the Si. Paul Pioneer /’ress says :—-‘‘ There are few great reputatiens which do not appear exag- gerated when one comes into the presence of the man himself,—hears him talk and sees him act. They are like the mountains which loom up from afar, across the vast levels of Westerns plains, whose blee summits, seen from a distance, seem to touch the skies, but which sink away as you approach, and dis- solve, like a mist beneath vour feet, into a ridge of rolling prairie, a little elevated above the flat uniformity of the plain. Probably no one, after hearing or reading about the sub- limity of Niagara Falls, ever saw the wonder for the first time without a feeling of disap- pointment. ‘The great cathedrals and pictures, the musical celebrities, the reat orators especially, almost always fall far low the stature of their fame on a first hear- ing or seeing. Mr. Beecher isan exception to this rule. He is always greater than his reputation. His genius always surpasses ex- pectation; it never flags. He is as great a wonder every Sunday to his congregation at Plymouth Church in Brooklyn as to the audience who heard him for the first time at Plymouth Church in Minneapolis. He is never tame and never wearies. His exhaust- less fertility renders every sermon a fresh surprise. He is as Protean in his moods and phases as nature herself, because his imagina- tion is.« polished mirror which reflects all the moods and phases of Nature herself,—her sun- shine and her changing shadows and her intinite diversities and wealth of color. His profound sympathy with nature and especially with human nature is the secret of his eloquence. His sermons are perpetual bursts vf poetry. ”? Ward 5—Hooper...... 77 M. Alilan..18 a ee ew Souris Notes. BY AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT. THe Fisheries.—Notwithstanding the patriotic and fatherly warning of the Sec’y of the Pickwickian Fish and Game Society kill all the fish comeatable. Mackerel and lobsters/are the principal victims just now. When will men learn wisdom? How cruel not to take the advice of the benevolent secretary, and leave the sweet little birds and fishes alone. » LicutHouse ror Sourts.—Mr. Tomlin- son, Chief Engineer of Lighthouses, was in Souris last week, selecting the site for the new Light House which is to be erected here during the present season. The erec- tion of the building will supply a want long felt by seafarers. County Court.—The Souris Cirenit Court commenced its sittings to-day, Judge Xeddin presiding. Between three and four hundred cases are up for trial during the present term. Thisis a sad commentary upon theevils arising from the credit system. Worse than all no less than half a dozen lawyers are in attendance. Talk no more of yellow fever, Colorada bugs, army worms and other pestilential afflictions. The end is not yet. Until litigation and those who encourage it can be dispensed with, no one need expect to witness, in this part of the country at least, that millenial time so long and so anxiously hoped for by the majority of pions people. New Prespyrertan Cuurca.—The Presbyterian congregration of Souris, head- ed by their energetic and popular pastor, have determined to build their new church in a very central part of the town and a new frame will soon take the place of the one blown down by the storm last winter. Ensoyment.—A large party of fun-loving Sourians set sail last evening from Knight's wharf, in the good ship ‘‘Winnie,”’ Captain Tierney, for a moonlight excursion the down Bay. The order at the start was: On with the dance ! let joy be unconfined ; no sleep till morn, when youth and pleasure meet te chase the glowing hours with flying feet— and in the immortal words of the great American Divine who is so soon to delight the citizens of Charlottetown—‘‘the whole thing from beginning to end was a decided success.” As the village poet was on board and formed one of the happy number, it is whispered that a lovely poem will issue from his pen ere long, commemorative of this ex- tremely enjeyable occasion. - _ Movements of the Prince of Wales. London papers of July 23rd describe the visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to Grimsby on the 22nd, the object of the visit being to open the Grimsby Docks and also to be present at the unveiling of a statue in honor of Prince Albert. The welcome they received was very hearty. The Prince seems daily to be better liked, and the Princess is the idol of the people. In reply to an address from the Freemasons, the Prince replied as follows :— 3rethren,—I thank you for your flatter- ing address and for the sentiments of loyalty which animate you towards the Queen and the members of the Royal family. I desire to express to you also my acknowledgments for the warm terms in which you have alluded to me as your Grand Master, and I can assure you | experience great pleasure in undertaking the duties of an oftice of so important and interesting a nature. [ am always glad to welcome any member of the craft, and rejoice that my visit to your town has afforded me the opportunity of meeting you. His address at the opening of the Dock was very happy. The report says :— The Prince of Wales, in reply, said : Mr. Mayor and gentlemen,—I thank you for your address and for the cordial terms in which you allude to the presence here to- day of the Princess of Wales and myself. You are correct in stating that we cannot fail to be deeply interested in the prosperity of your berough. A large commercial town, with extensive docks and an increas- ing trade, must always be an object of con- siderable attention to one occupied as I am with the welfare of this country. But I have special reasons for feeling ;the sym- pathy which I entertain for the well-being of the inhabitants of Great Grimsby, when I remember that many years ago my lament- ed father laid the foundation stone of these magnificent docks, one of which I am about to open to-day, and predicted the commer- cial success which you have reached. Since then the Queen, accompanied by the Prince Consort and myself, visited your borough, and Her Majesty still remembers with pleasure the afiectionate demonstrations of loyalty with which she was on that occasion received. Let me, in conclusion, assure you that it affords me sincere gratification to have been called on to unveil the statue which, through the munificence of Sir E. Watkin, has been erected here. I thank you, in the name of the Queen and of the members of my family, for this tribute of admiration and respect to the memory of my father. (Cheers.) wa Births.
