George Butcher. The Watchman, of London, contains the following sketch of the life of one who was well known to many citizens of Charlotte- town, as an earnest and faithful Minister of the Gospel :— “The Rev. George Butcher was born Aug. 9, 1828, at St. James, Suffolk, but the family left England whilst he was yet an infant, and settled at Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. From thence he returned to England in 1852. He was brought up as an architect, in Which he became an expert, and, though he did not finally follow this, yet the skill thus acquired stood him in good stead in after life, when his opinion and advice Were always available and very valuable as to the building, improvement, or repairs of the chapels and other edifices. It was whilstliving at Newark that he first felt a Divine call to the ministry, The doors of the Methodist Church in Eng- land, owing to the unfortunate dissensions of that time, being closed against him, he re- turned to Prince Edward Island, and received his first appointment in 1856 to Guysborough, Nova Scotia; thence to Fredericton, the cathe- dral city of New Brunswick, where he labored with great energy and success for two years. Berwick, Nova Scotia; Dorchester, and Point de Bute, North Britain, were his next appoint- ments. Family arrangements required his re- turn to England in 1866, and in the following year he entered the home work, travelling in the Diss, Ilkeston, Aylesbury, Gravesend, and Horncastle Circuits, and staying at each place the full term of three years. He was appointed to Deal at the Conference in 1882, where he labored with great acceptance and usefulness till within a fortnight of his death. His preaching was earnest and marked by careful thought, and when his hearers got ac- customed to a slight peculiarity in his delivery his ministry was, as expressed by his Horn- castle friends, ‘‘revelled” in by his people. In social life and in fraternal meetings with his brethren his conversation betokened a well-furnished mind, a wide acquaintance with men and things; and he was a warm-hearted and genial friend. When public issues were concerned he would disregard all private in- terests and wishes. Throughout his life he was an earnest advocate of the temperance cause; and bis last public appearance was 0s chairman of a blue ribbon meeting on Friday, Nov. 16. Both in America and England he leaves a large circle of friends who have heard of his death with loving regret.” W. H. B. Entertainment at Somerset. A grand amateur entertainment, under the auspices of the Somerset Debating Club and Literary Association, was held in Somerset Hall, on the evening of the 5th inst. Considering the severity of the weather and extremely short notice given the public, the Hall was very fairly filled, about 250 person in all being present. The total amount realized was, | under- stand, somewhere in or about $25.00. The programme consisted of several well chosen readings, recitations songs, dramas, dialogues, stump speeches, and Burlesque orations; and, if we may judge from the excellent order maintained by the audience throughout the whole programme, J think I am safe in saying that the audience was well pleased with the night’s amusement. To one young lady in particular, Miss Katie O. Hammil, teacher, too much praise cannot be accorded for the very excellent manner in which she performed the many parts assumed by her, and as for “burnt cork” Sally, her impersonations were all O. K. I believe it is the intention of the Club to give another entertainment soon, and if I get due notice thereof, I’ll be there with as many of my friends as will come along. ONE OF THE AUDIENCE, eee ——--—-—_ PRESENTATION.—On New Year’s evening at the residence of James White, Esq., Mount Stewart, J. R. Bourke, Esq., on behalf of Mrs, White and Mrs. Bourke, who did the collec. tion, presented the Rev. D. H. Lodge with a well filled purse as a New Year’s gift from the congregation and other friends, as a token of their respect and esteem for the worker and his work.

The grain- ing isash and walnut, and matches well with the pews which were lately placed in position by Messrs. Mark Wright & Co., of Charlottetown. They are built of ash, capped and finished with walnut. The altar, built entirely of marble and grey- stone, is pronounced by competent judges the best work of the kind in P. E, Island, Altogether, the Church presents a neat and pleasing appearance, and is a credit to the parishioners of Cardigan, and a lasting Messrs. Morson & Morgan have shipped, first of October, the following The total value of the above cargoes, if we include a considerable quantity of beef, pork, etc., shipped ou the same vessels, ex- ceeds $11,000. The same enterprising firm also loaded the ‘‘Quivet” and ‘‘British Tar” in Georgetown. While prices ruled Jow in orher ports, Messrs. Morson & Morgan paid 34 cents for oats, and 18 to 20 cents for potatoes, keeping ahead ef quotations in many other parts of the Island, and as high as the highest during the entire shipping season. They are now storing large quantities of pork and oats, at the highest eash prices. The following vessels were loaded by Mr. J. F.

The fact that, with the exception of five or 8ix vessels, all the above were loaded for Nova Scotia ports, is a triumphant reputa. tion, as far as Cardigan is concerned, of the miserable, unpatriotic ery of the Grit growl- ers, that we have no home market. If the N. P. means ruination, then we say, “give us some more ruin.” B. Cardigan Bridge, Jan. 7, 1884. © a 2 Cardigan Notes. The following prizes were awarded Mr. John Robertson, Inkerman Farm, Lot 52, at the Dominion Exhibition held in St. John, N. B., last October, viz:—First prize for Wangel Wortzel Seed; first prize for Beet Seed; first {prize for Parsnip Seed; first prize for Windsor Beans; third prize for White Field Beans. Mr. Robertson is a very successful exhibitor at our exhibi- tions, having secured quite a number of prizes at the King’s County and Provincial Exhibitions. He has a very fine young orchard containing 250 choice apple trees, besides a number of plum, currant and other trees. His vegetable garden occupies nearly five acres, and is a model of neatness, His vegetables are well known to be of superior quality and meet ready sale when- ever offered. The cultivation of fruits and vegetables is a branch of farming that requires skill- ful management and great attention, and we are much pleased to see this industry so successfully prosecuted in King's County. Farms are still changing hands in this vicinity, Mr. Donald Wilson, having pur- chased Mr. ]F. Davies’ farm, and Mr. J. McKenzie that of Mr. J. McInnis. Trade at Cardigan Bridge has been brisk during the past fall, and a large quahtity of pro- duce has been shipped. Mr. James Norton has his new store nearly finished, and it presents quitea neat appearance. The inside has been painted by Mr. F. A. Landry in his best style, and would be considered a first-class shop, even in Charlottetown. Farmers in the surrounding settlements are steadily improving their farms and buildings, and many of their homesteads would compare favorably with those in any pact of the Island. Among the houses lately built are those of Mr. James Donodoe, Roseneath, Michael Bolden and John Fogerty, Grand River Road, John Parker and Donald Wil- son, Cardigan, Edward Redmond, Donald Matheson, John Larthart, Patrick Ryan, and Charles Crawford, St. Peters Road, Lot 53, besides many others that have been rebuilt and improved. Notwithstanding the unpatriotic com- plaints of hard times by the Patriot and his confreres, the people, are satisfied that they are not very poor and are investing their money in their farms which is the safest Bank they can get. One of the best farms near here is that of Mr. Neil Nicholson, of Pisquid Road, Lot 52, and taking into consideration the build- ings, fences and cultivation, it would be hard to equal it in the Island. Mr. Nichol- son is a wide-awake farmer, always ready to take advantage of any improvement that can be made to successfully carry on his business, and during the past summer has placed in his lazge 80 feet barn a horse hay = LET Rt HE DAILY EX fork and patent carrier, by means of which he will De able tt secure his hay erbp with —_ - much greater ease and apesed than by pitch- ing it by hand. Mr. Roland 1. Plummer has commenced carrying the mails from Cardigan Station to New Perth and Montague Bridge, in place of Mr. John J. Campbell whcse contract expired on the 3ist December. Mr, Camy- bell was a most punctual and obliging mail courier, and gave good satisfaction to the pubiic during the time his contract aT Cardigan, Jan. 7, 1884. om] ° Dundas Notes. There has been quite a large quantity of potatoes and oats shipped from this port this fall by the following shippers :— RK. Burdett, three schooners containing 7,200 bushels potatoes. : Hugh McLellan, two schooners contain- ing 6,200 bushels potatoes. KE. Vickerson, one schooner containing 2,000 bushels potatoes. Arch. McLean, one schooner containing 1,200 bushels potatoes. a J. G. Sterns, three schooners containing 3,600 bushels potatoes. M. McLeod & Co., two schooners con- taining 5,500 bushels potatoes. Morson & Morgan, one schooner contain- ing 1,500 bushels potatoes. ; Welsh & Owen,-one brigantine contain- ing 9,000 bushels oats. Lauchlin McKay is doing quite a rushing business in the carriage and agricultural lime. He has turned out a lot of splendid sleighs this fall, which are selling fast. Mr. Hugh McLellan, one of our enter- prising merchants, has loft for Boston on business. Mr. Arch. Currie, one of our largest importers, returned from Boston last week looking hale and hearty. He says he has ordered for the Spring trade 17,000 yards print and grey cottons. R. Burdett is going to start business again in his old store. He intends building again on the site lately occupied by his store de- stroyed by fire. Education is progressing favorably under the careful management of Miss L. Nelson as Principal, and Miss Bulpitt as Assistant. New Years was enjoyed by the young folks by sleigh driving and a ball in the evening. Mr. Charles Clay is going to start a singing school here. It is needed very much. Your correspondent ‘‘Quiz’ is very much astray about ‘“‘black ducks.” He must have been under the influence of ‘‘black ducks” when he wrote that article. Our young friend, Mr. Stewart Hunter, has lately joined the army of Benedicts, We wish him joy in his new departure. WILDFIRE. Dundas.

A number of the folks who are most en- terested in our school spent the last after- noon of the old year very agreably, witnessing Miss E. B. MecPhail’s examination of her class. She keeps her school in perfect order and her classes under good discipline: two very essential points in teaching. Her senior class, I should say, are well fitted for a college course. Katie Deagan (in this class) is not only bright but she is brilliant. It is to be hoped she may have the good fortune to finish her education in a convent. It appears to be Miss Mc- Phail’s hobby to teach thoroughly. This school had a very hard name before Miss McPhail took charge of it; but we fancy that it now stands ona par with the best on the Island. Below is given a list of those who made the highest number of marks in all branches, during the term, numbered according to merit :— SIXTH CLASS. Ist. Simeon Howatt; 2nd, Katie Deagan; 3rd, Ella McPhee. FIFTH CLASS. Ist, Dan Deagan; 2nd, Frederick Clarke; ded, James Bell.

Josiah Howatt, Esq., and Mr. Thomas Bell and two of our best farmers, who know the value of their dollars and cents as well as any other two gentlemen on the Island, and hear what they have to spy. They say “since we have commenced housekeeping we have never bought as cheap as at present, nor have never had better prices for our products, all owing to the N. P.” Mr, Strang has the contract of supplying the timber for the wharf. It is only fair that our people should have some hand in it.
