From conversation with a gentleman who has just. returned from the Magdalen Is- lanis, we learn that the fisherman there have had a tolerably successful season. Mackerel fishing was poor but codtishing was extra good all the fall, and continues sv yet. Some of the lobster factories did well, while others did little or nothing last sulmimer The crops this year were above the aver- age, especially the potato and curnip crop. Ir will be remembered that early in last month a brigantine belonging to Jersey was stranded on Bryon Island. It turned out that some of the crew were suffering from small pox. One of them, a day or two before making land, being delirous of fever, jumped overbuard and = was drowned. The two that were down with the disease were placed in a cook house, and cared for by the Capt. who had had the disease some years ago. The rest of the crew were put into a fish house near by, while the wrecked vessel was set fire to and burned. It is thought, in consequence of these precautions having been taken, that the disease will be con- fined to thé two sailors who were suffering from it when the brigantine came ashore. On Monday night week a large schooner (whose name our informant does not know) loaded with flour on her way from Quebec! to Newfoundland, was dismasted off the coast of the Magdalen Islands. She was towed next day for some distance by a steamer, but the latter, owing to heavy wind and sea, had to let her go. The next day after, the crew rigged «jury mast and succeeded in getting into shelter of the breakwater at Gull Island, which is on the north side ot the Magdalen Islands. Not- withstanding this she dragged her anchors and got ashore ; but the crew, assisted by the people on shore, got her off again. The steamship Beaver, it is said, will tow. het around, whilé on her present trip, toa harbor of safety on the south side of the Is! inds, where she will be repaired and fitted vut again tor the voyage, this Season, it posable, “THE DAILY EX: MINER, - - p53 coat cnenagntnncae tT - WEDNESDAY.

The follow- ing gentlemen were present : Revs. Weston Jones, Rector St. Paul’s, Charlottetown, James Simpson, Priest Incumbent of St. Peter's, Charlottetown, C. E. MacKenzie, of Alberton, H. Harper, Port Hil], *E.” C. L. we, Summerside, A. C. Jones, George- town, F. Woolcott, Nova Scotia, The Rev. l. B. Reagh, of New London, was unavoid- ibly xosent. On the arrival of the morn- ing train at County Line, the visitors were lriven over to Crapaud, a distance of 12 miles. At ll a. m. the elergy entered the church in procession, vested in cassocks, surplice, and white *steles. The services onsisted of Matins and Holy Communion. At 1 o'clock the clergy sat down and Kenzie, to a substantial dinner at the Rectory, lid ample justice to the good things pro vi led. Afteran hour’s recreation sembled and discussed various subjecis with reference to the Church in the Is iand, ant it was unanimouw ly resulyed to 1orm themselves into an association to be known as the Clerical Association of P. E. [., for the furtherance of united piayer, brotherly intercourse and mutual assistance. Che Association will meet~ at different parishes every three “months. The next meeting isto take place at Summerside during the second week of December. At] p. m., evening service was held in the Church, which was filled to over- flowing with an earnest congregation, All he clergy made addresses of a missionary character, speaking of . the . necessity of a missionary spirit, the difficulties and hind- rances of mission work, the adaptability of the English Church for this wors, the need of the co-operation of the laity, espe- cially in earnest prayer and alms. Between each address a mission hymn was sung with much spirit by all present. The Rector invited the congregation to meet the clergy at his house after service, anda number responded tothe invitation. The clergy were billeted at different houses for the night, and were generously entertained by their hosts. All returned. to County Line in time for the morning trains,and separated to go to their respective parishes, having received fresh strength and energy for their arduous work by the fraternal inter- course uf the visit. During the day the collections amounted to over $25, which will be sent to the Society for the Propaga- they re-as {tion of the Gospel. MILTON PARISH-—-INDUCTION OF REV. W. H. SAMPSON—FULLER PARTICULARS. furnishes An esteemed correspondent THe Ex- the following in addition to AMINER'S report of yesterday : — ‘A most successful and interesting meeting was held on Monday night at the parish church of Milton, when the Rev. W. H. Sampson was inducted to the rectorship of Milton and Rastico. At 7 o'clock p, m., the bell of the Church was rung and the people very shortly after were assembled in the Chureh. ‘The clergy present were the Revs. Mr. Johnston, Rector of Crapaud; James Simpson, Incumbent of St. Peter's, Charlotte- town: S. Weston-Jones, Rector-elect of St. Paul's, Charlottétewn, and Mr. Sampson, Rector-elect of Milton. The service began by the singing of that grand old hymn, ‘ Be- fore Jehovah s awful throne,” after which Rev. Mr. Jehnston stated the object of the meeting and then read the Mandate of Induction from the Ecclesiastical Cominissary. Rev. Arch- deacon Gilpin, in accordance with the Man- date, called upon the seuicr chureh warden, A. Holroyd, E q., to place in the Rector’s hands the keys of the Church which he did in a few well chosen and kindly words, Mr. Sampson having declared his willingness to abide by the decision of the Synod of this diocese and sworn te give true and canonical obedience to the Bishop, was. declar- ed by “the Rector of Crapaud to be the regularly inducted Rector of Milton. The proper and special service was then offer- ed to Almighty God by Rev. Mr. Jones, Mr. Simpson reading the lesson which was taken from St. Luke, 10 chap, 1-16, while the Rev. Mr. Johnston offered the appointed prayer. One thing was specially noticed at the ser- vice- -the quiet, earnest, but hearty manner n which the people took their part, showing dearly that their interest in their church and pastor is a real, genuine, Godly one, After singing another hymn, addresses were made by all the clergy present on the relation vf people to their minister, and the duties they owe to each other, No one who listened could help feeling the deep, earnest words which fell from the lips of the speakers as they spoke of the responsibility, the work, the aim, and the object of the ministry ; pleading with the people to give their clergy their sympathy, their Co-operation, their confidence. Questions of vital interest were also brought forward, and were pressed upon the attention of the people with loving faithfulness. At che close of the meeting Rev. Mr. Saimp- sou spoke feelingly upon the position he had assumed, and earnestly asked fer the loving, prayerful, helpful sympathy of his people. Realizing the fact that the ‘‘ Great Shepherd ” would one day demand from him, ‘‘W here is the tlock, the beautifal flock that was given thee,” he desired to so watch over and feed and tend and care for that flock, that he might answer ‘* Here am [, my Master, and all whom thou hast given me, not one of them is missing.” Having cordially thanked the clergy for their kindness in being present, and for their words ot counsel, of warning and of advice, he then dismissed the large congregation by pronounc- ing the benediction. One special feature of the service ought not to be overleoked, and that is the fact that the clergy present, and whose hearts were so warmed up with divine love, were the representatives of three different schools of thought in the Chuich. It augurs well for the future of the grand old Church of Eng- land on this Island, the Church of liberty and freedom, the Church that gave the world an open Bible, an open, free, untrammelled Bible. Che Church of the Protestant reformers, the Church of England as she has existed since the days of her apostolic founders—when her ministers can meet together upon the same platform, and in words of burning power speak of the same Savior, of the same ‘only way of salvation,’ of the same full, perfect and suttivient sacrifice, oblation and satisfaction for the sins of the whole world, although the manner in which they offer worship to God may be as widely differeut as the poles are apart. May the brotherly christian spirit now existing among them never be broken ; but in Godly harmony may they assist each ther, and strengthen e»ch other in the work to whieh God has called them—of winning souls for a blessed immortality.” The British Life Association, limited, hive ceased to carry oa thy business uf hfe @ surance in Onnuda, | advance of the former one. AIl were de- lighted, as might be expected, when such i fuliy disposed of :— Rev. T. W. Johnston Celebrant, J. Simp son, deacon, H. Harper, sub-deacon. The } sermon was preached. by Rev. C. E. Mac- Hallow E’en at Georgetown. ‘* Hallow E’en ” on this Island is gener- ally considered an evening of more than ordinary importance, and is always greeted enthusiastically, and is invariably attended with most interesting and sometimes with thrilling events. This being the case, ‘‘ why should it be thought a thing incredi- ble” that even this quiet little town should, on such an oceasion, be stirred from centre to circumference / Among the interesting events that oc- curred here last evening we shall mention one of the most important.

Though but little time has elapsed since the other Social took place there was a full attendance at this last one, as before, and the proceeds of the evening were nearly $16 clear of expenses. It is unanimously agreed that the committee deserve much credit for their very efficient management of the work they undertook. So enthusi- astic are they, that already they have de- cided to repeat their Social at Montague Bridge at a very early dute, and no doubt will execute their plan with the same suc- cess, if not greater, that has rewarded them in their recent efforts. V ERACITY. November 1, 1887. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. Reply to “ ¢,” Sir,—In the words of your correspon- dent **C.” in yesterday’sissue, | was ‘‘greatly pained ” when reading his puerile produc- tion. This censorof public morals arro- gates to himself the power of a potentate and the virtues of auangel. He, however, is very inconsistent ; for while condemning the use of the word ** cowardly,” he falls himself into the evil of hiding his own sweet name and substituting an initial. His bravery is seriously open to objection since he wishes to ** Compound for sins we are inclined to, By damning those we have no mind to.”’ I may say that Rev. Mr. Whitman needs no apologist. His sentiments are these of seventy-five per cent. of our people; and his honest fearless discourse of last Sunday evening —free as it was from any narrow - ness, fanaticism or vituperation—will long be remembered by those who were fortunate enough to hear it. The attack upon the rev. gentleman will not injure him. He is too highly respected in this community and tov courageous a Christian to be cajoled dr driven by any anonymous scribbler. Will **C” allow me to puint out a few of the many defects so noticeable in the Scott Act Party. First. They are unreasonable. If one dare utter an honest opinion which does not accord with their own views on the temperance question, they immediately abuse such a one and denounce him as a ‘‘rummy.” They refuse to extend to others that privilege so freely granted themselves 7—a liberty to think and judge. Second. They are fenatical. not possess that ‘‘common sense” so requisite in reformers. Their mode of warfare is inconsistent with right and justice. They denounce all liquors as ** poisonous,” and all who take a moderate glass as ** drunkards.” I need not proceed further.3An intelligent public are convinced of the unworkable nature of the Act. The reflection upon Mr. Whitman that he formerly supported the measure is not an argument. I also worked zealously for it, but eight years has amply proven that in this community at least it is inoperative. Does your correspondent ‘* C.” not know that wise men often change their minds but fools never ? I take the liberty of signing this letter anonymously as an offset to your yester- day’s correspondent. Did he append his name I should have done the same, but | hopethat no further *‘cowardly” attacks will be made upon any Christian clergyman by masked correspondents. They do Yours, ete., ee Ch’town, Nov. 2. a Protest. Srr,— Could your correspondent ‘‘C” have been present at the Stipendiary Magistrate’s Court yesterday morning, and witnessed the circus, he would, if suscep- tible to any improvement, be heartily ashamed of the manner in which the Scott Act is worked. The habit of dragging up some of our oldest and most respected citizens as crim- inals is becoming unbearable, and I -would not be surprised to find our citizens resort to extreme means if this degrading and ruffianly work is continued. The Scott Act advocates do—as a rev. gentleman says—require ‘‘ cummon sense” and Common Decency. Ch’town, Nov. 2, 1887. ~ one Supreme Court. Turspay, Nov. 1.
