' __ Saturday, February. 85. 1851 '5 3." can no longer refrain from taking notice of the repeated complaints made concerning the state of the public pumps and wells in Charlottetown. Owing to die pevcrity of the weather, the water in many of tlupirlppe land become so solidly congealed that it was impossible tedo anything with them until the ice was melted; and the only, or rather the usual vvuy-in which this is elfected. is by putting common unit into the upper aperture of ilie pump and waiting the uperation'of'thc'atmoephere upon it. But this is as all times a tedious and uncertain remedy, and it might easily happen that, while uveiting for it, the greatest part -»!'the town may be burnt to the ground. Anni or very great grievance is, the neglecting to keep the pumps free from accumulations of ice. In many places. to our own knowledge, should the cry of lire hnve been raked, it would have taken from ten lflhthteu to" a quarter of an hour to remove the ice so as to put the pnrnp in proper working order: but in ten piinutee e fire, at first easily quenched if a sell‘:- eiency ef water were at hand, niny have acquired a lines "which no after exertions will be able to subdue. I w, it in true tltnt this has been a very uncommon [ind winter. and the contractor, if he did his duty as it fight to have been done. would be a loser by hietienlractt-—but that should form no excuse; the contract ought to he performed in severe seasons. as wellaetuild ones; and more particularly in the for- mer, as there is not so much inconvenience felt in the letter. But to whom are you to complain? To the Aeueeeors? ‘They have no power ;—-all they can do in, to sue the contractor upon hie bond; and there would be some difliculty in accomplishing that 'I‘here is at the public meeting on the first Tuesday in May no surplus or contingent fund voted; so that the Ae- eeesore have no monies in hand wherewitli to take the advice ofcounsel, or employ an attorney; end it in clearly and necessarily no part of the duty ol the Crown Oflicere. It is true, the present Attorney Ge- neral, the Hon. Edward Palmer, would, as he has elrevaya doae,—being one of the representatives of the town,—-lend his aid and exert liimsulfto the utmost; still the assessors would be liable in their own per- sons for any advances that might be required for car- rying on a suit, and for the costs of the opposite party if they should chance to lose. And there is some- thing to be void also for the contractor. It may be fairly argued, on his behalf. that when he took the contract both he end the assessors had in view only the average severity of preceding winters, and made their calculations accordingly. Now this has been, in the opinion ofull, on exceptional case. for the frost has penetrated into places wltere it never has before, and pumps have been frozen that never were known to be frozen before. Now, though all this is good arguaient why the contractor should be paid some- thing extra for this particular winter. it neither forms nor ought it to form any excuse for his neglecting to perform his contract, and thereby jeopardizing the lives and properties of the people of the town. The system, however, is bad. There ought to be a super- vising power vested somewhere, in order promptly to remedy any aacli anomaly as paying taxes for keeping pumps and wells in good and eflicient repair, and finding them wlten most wanted. unfit for use, —for having contracts made with parties, and no means of summarily enforcing the contract, or causing the duties to be performed at the expense of the defaulter;—a power which we think ought to reside in the assessors, or, if necessary, in somebody supe- rior to them. But there is a matter of more import- ance, and which we shall never cease to bring to the notice of the town, until something be attempted towards the accomplishment of it, and this is, the provision of a proper supply of water from other sources than sinking wells in the common streets.-— which, owing to the porous nature of the soil, are liable to be rendered impure, and consequently nox- ious to the health of the inhabitants, from the liqui- lied contents of sewers. dunghille and stercoraries of all descriptions percolating into them. Before we can expect to attract the attention of strangers who may pay us visits. and win their esteem and applause, we meet seek to take all arti-tic advantages of the soil and situation of the town; and we may safely -say, without any fear of contradiction-—ut least from people whose opinion carries any weight with it—- that there never was a site so eminently calculated whereon to build a clean, healthy, handsome town. as this so judiciously selected for Charlottetown. And we confidently look forward to this consummation in the course of a few years. It depends altogether upon ourselves; and we trust that we shall not be found wanting to oureelvee,—-that upon all proper ecraeicas there will be displayed 'by the people an unanimity, accompanied with a seal and deterrnioa- tion to malte Charlottetown,what it is destined to be, both by the nature of its situation and the growing and rapidly increasing taste, wealth and intelligence ef its lnhabitaats,—the handeomest, healthiest, best built, moat orderly and best supplied city in Her Me- jesty'e North American derninions.

[For Heeaard'e Gazette.) ' No. 5. ART 01-‘ READING. (Continued frost .)\’b. I18.) This. with Dictation, as soon as the child can write, will give a knowledge of orthography, which, I beliere, cannot be communicated in any other way. Some persons may think it imprudent to attempt to make a child know all that can be known of each successive lesson before he is permitted to commence the study of a fresh one; but from long experience. I lnvnriubly found this method vastly the best. For, when all that is centaiiied in a lesson is thoroughly studied and understood, the additional knowledge thus gained is like a fresh implement put into the hands ofthe student. by which, and those he previ- ously possessed. he can much more easily eurmeunt all future intellectual dificultiee. He may occasion- ally forget the signification of a word of rare occur- rence, which cost him some time to learn; but amere hint will recall to his mind all hie previous knowledge ofit. It is not a very uncomnton thing for me to keep some of my present classes a whole week study- ing one reading leseou. But were the children able to supply themselves with books better suited to their age and advancement than those I am at present obliged to allow‘them to use. and were the matter better selected and the plan properly arranged, two recitals would generally be suflicient. But I hesitate uot to say, that even our best school books are very deficient, both as regards matter and arrangement. As tint and second books. Murray's are, in my hum- ble opinion, much the best that have yet come under my inspection. 'I‘he reading lessons in these are pretty well adapted to the minds of the young, and classes of monoeyllabic words are arranged, so as to convey a pretty accurate knowledge of the various sounds and powers of the letters, and the whole so varied with alternate reading and spelling lessons, as to secure to the learner a pleasing iritereat and diver- eity. But more on this point hereafter. In commencing to teach a new reading lesson, my manner of procedure is tlris:—First, I read it ell through before the chin, desiring the pupils to " check" me should I make any error,—whether it be in the oniission ofn word, or of a pause; in false orthoepy or accentuatioti, iii triieopplying an empha- sin or an inllectiun; or in an improper use of tone or quantity. In order to sustain attention, I eonietimee make a voluntary error; and, generally, a dozen or more voices announce it, with an eagerness approach- ing to a about. If I have reason still to suspect that some one. more careless than the others, is inatten- tive, I eudderily atop reading. and desire the suspect- ed one to name the next word I should read. If attention ltas been given, the proper word is at once pronounced, and the pupil feels sulliciently rewarded for his care by the satisfaction that arises in hie mind frotn being able to show hie alertness before hir class. mates. Should he show that he has been inattentive, by not "knowing the place,’' ati ironicol word of coinmsnduti‘on,euch as “ Nice child"—"Pretty boy" —" Splendid!” with the disdainful look which the class seldom fails to give liitn, will be uuliicieat mor- tilication for ltia indolence. .. As soon as I have finished reading, the pupils he- girl to recite; and the boy or girl who _acted clevereet at the preceding lesson, takes a slate to keep a toe- riiorandum of all the errors which each echolar may commit during the titne the class is up. This indivi- duel is dignified with the title of “ Recorder." In order to prevent confusion, and the jostling of the person reading, no preference of place is allowed till the class is ready to be dismissed; (lien, the pupil who committed the fewest errors goes " Head," and the others follow in the order shown by the Record- er's memorandum. The reading done, one or more paragraphs. as time may permit, is minutely explain- ed, word by word and sentence by sentence. 'I‘he class is then turned back to review what has been explained, and closely questioned and exuiiriaed to ascertain whether all was properly comprehended, and to fix it more permanently and impreeeively upon their inemoriee. 'I‘hie process is continued through- out the whole of ench lesson, till the pupils give satie- fuctory evidence that they have completely mustered all it contained. Ifrequently make it a point to hold a familiar cou- vereation with the pupils upon some of the most dim- cult words and passages in their lesson, reserving to myself, of course, the honor of being the principal speaker; but freely allowing them to give their judg- ment and opinion on the matters under consideration. These colloquiee are not confined to reading lessons only, but are indulged in upon all subjects, and when- ever any dithcalty arises in any branch taught in the school. I am fully convinced, that were there a greater habit of sensible and instructive conversation between the master and hie ecliolare introduced into our schools, it would be a decided improvement upon our present generally still’ and monotonous routine.- But more of this in my next.

After eudeuvoring to rnske it appear that the new Government were not carrying out the principle advocated-by them at and since the late election, in- asmuch as some members of the House and Govern- ment were accepting olfice.—knowing, as they well do, it was never contemplated to exclude either the Attorney General or Provincial Secretary out of the Hence.‘ end else that until an Act he passed and transmitted for and receive the Royal assent, the Government must of necessity be conducted according to the existing constitution, by filling many of the cliicee from either one or other branch of the Legis- lature; however, we may congratulate the public on a move having been made in the right direction, twe olllciale having been excluded from the Legislature, vie.. the Queen's Printer and the Registrar of Deeds, he.

To run Intros or IIeeuuu’s Guerra. 8ir,—As the leader of the late Government took upon himself to tell rut, that there were specks in my liberalism and that there was so mob like u Tory tlflbr I beg leave to inform biei,that my liberalism never was more uncloeded, that when I found out that there wee uo Tory mob in this Country but that composed of his own deluded followers, and on he and Dennis Reddiu have little to say against the present otlicial Candidates but that they are Tories, I hereby tell him. that I a working man am ready to discuss with him either through the prone er et the hustinge, the meaning of the warp Tory, and its application either to British or Ameri- can parties. I maintain air, that there can be no ap- plication of the term in the British sense to any party in this Island, and if it is to be applied in the American, any one but slightly acquainted with Ame- rican politics, knows that it is Domrigogue and the roaring Democrat alone to whom the term Tory is in the smallest degree applicable. whtl is there that does not feel, that there is no disposition like that of the mob, and no tyranny like that exceruised by its leaders, and when the true lovers of freedom in the United States formed the great Whig party to oppoue this Tory mob, every friend of order rallied round it. and although not able always to put men of that party into ofice, its principles lieve been recognised, and has been the salvation ofthat Country. We would do well to follow their example, there is a disposition in high quarters to throw as all‘, and it must be borne in mind that the present Secretary for the Colonies is not the first Duke of Newcastle who has lost a nation to the British Empire. We may be compelled to join that great Republic, and it is here in agreuter degree necessary, as we are threatened with Demo- cracy without any of the safeguards with which it is there surrounded. Democracy here with a packed Council, and the Imperial Govemment cnreleee what bocoiries of us must be despotism indeed. And who is it that is made use of by the Dernagogae, (the real Tory,)ie it the respectable Mechanic. the sober steady labourer, the well educated Clerk or young profes- sional man? I trow not. Is it not rather a few who make up in noise what they lack in number, the drunltard, the loafer, and the unprincipled. Up work- ing men of Charlottetown—no one wishes you to be deprived of the Franchise--exercise the privilege or Freeman, show to Prince Edward Island and the neighbouring colonies, that you will not be the slaves of the Whisky despotism with vrhich you are threat- ened. Mr. Dennis Reddiu, silly man, told a liberal voter, that he did not know the meaning of the word Tory, but that he had a son who had learned lelia and perhaps he could explain it. I have been educated in principles of the British Whigs of 1668 and ofI83‘3 and uliould know aornething of the mean- ing of the term, I would therefore caution my fellow towusmen against being led astray by assertions of the most abeurd nature. The late government have shown themeelvee ignorant of every principle but that of selfishness, and will they be allowed to use Tory as a term of reproach, when it is well known that if the party composing the present government would have gratified their personal ambition and cu. pidity they would have only been too glad to have accepted their service. What shall the remnant of the party who either employed or was led by Mr. Pope, who tried in vain to coax one ofthe members of the let District of King's County with the trea- sury and thee pve it to one who hed opposed their grand measure, and who, I believe, despised them; who tried to entrnp the other member of the let dis- trict of King's County, and when they failed to do so, attempted to coerce liim;——sliall these men he allowed te apply the term Tory to any but themselves.’ But I ehall proceed no further; a feeling of disgust rises uppermost in my mind. at each conduct being perpetrated under the more of liberalism; and I have not the least doubt but they will be left in their true position at the ensuing election, notwithstanding the powerful lever made use of by the unprincipled par- ties canvassing for the self-styled liberals: that the members of the new Government, who have advo- cated a principle which provides a proper safeguard, and would tend to purify the uyeteiit of government culled responsible, viz, the exclusion of otlicials from the House, are no sooner in the Government than they take olfice themselves. Now, Sir, every think- _iag men must and will consider,‘ that in the firsr place, it never wu contemplated to exclude from the Legis- lature either the Secretary for the Colony or the Crown Law Oflicere; and that it is necessary to per- fect aome ineeeure on the subject before other ollicce which may be considered Departmental can be filled by any but a member ofthe Legislature. Then why the senseless cry of the members composing the Go- vernment having abandoned their principles.’ Never, Sir, until the principles contended for by the Govern- ment, ef excluding oficers in connection with the revenue from Parliament, can‘ we expect the Home of Assembly to be a'true representation ofthe people. Although I have no desire that any publicity ehould attach to my name in connection with this communi- cation, yet, as it may be said that this is from some one desirous of oflics, or interested in keeping the present party in oflce. and not from a working man, I beg leave to subscribe myself, GEOIIGF.
