Dear Six,—A very large and influential meeting, presided over by W. H. Douglas, Esq., was held in Mount Stewart Hal! on Monday evening, the 17th inst. The chairman explained that the object of the meeting was to take immediate steps for the suppression of the illicit iiquor traffic which has sprung up in this com- munity. Earnest addresses on the evils of the traffic and the importance of enforcing the} Seott Act, were given by the Revd’s. odes! McDonald, Lodge, Frame and others. The following resolutions, moved by} Donald Allan McDonald, Esq , and second- | ed by David Egan, Esq., were unanimously adopted. Ist. Whereas the traffic in intoxicating liguor is unlawful aad evil iv ita resuls - Therefore Resolved, -That this meeting pledges itself to use all necessary legal means without delay, to suppress it in this com- munity. 2nd. Appoint a committee to prosecute all parties violating the Canada Temperance Act, | and agree to supply them with the funds} necessary to attain this end. The prosecuting committee chosen are) David Egan, W, H. Douglas, Donald A. MeéDonald, 8. C Clark, John J. McDon- ald, Kembie Coffin, Felix Fechan, Edward | Leeman, James Mclunis, Robert Fargn-} harsen. A subscription list was then opened, and a sufficient amount handed over to the committee to enable them to begin their work. The prosecuting committee are bound to perform the duty assigned to; them without fear or favor. They know that they have with them the influence and encouragement of every right thinking person in the community. They believe also that every right thinking ferson throughout the land should use his influence to suppress the liquor dens which are doing so much to corrupt the morals of both young and old, wherever they are estab- lished. i ONE PRESENT. Picnic at Newtown. The members of the Newtown Presby- terian Sunday School held their first picnic on Thursday last, on the beautiful grounds of Hector McKenzie, Esq., Big Point, where was passed a very pleasant and en- joyable day. The beautiful scenery sur- rounding the Point was, of itself, worth the drive and preparation, but when we add thereto the pleasures and amusements which naturally flow from a pleasant and sociable company, we must confess that our anticipations were fully realized. We read’ that Xerxes, in the midst of glory and splendours and with the brightest prospects before him, wept when he thought that in a short time not one of that vast army which he was ieading into Greece, would be able to relate their adventures ; so in the midst of our enjoyment and pleasure, a feeling of sadness stole over us as we theught, when shall we all meet again ! We left, carrying with us fond recollections ef Biz Point aud its hospitable residents. Long will the scenes ot this day live in memory, and not the least pleasant re- miniscence will be a thought of the kindness shown by Mr. McKenzie and family. Hors. Belfast, Sept. 18, 1883. Items from Somerset, Lot 27. We are entirely through with the gather- ing of the harvest, and now have reached the threshing stage, many already having their grain in readiness for market. A few days ago the writer was,shown some sam- ples of wheat and oats, grown on the farm of Mr. McCarvill of. this place, which, for quality and weight, I have never seen equalled. On the whole, the general out- Jook is highly gratifying. The potato crop, judging from appearance,will, no doubt, be also a very abundant yield. Thanks to that famous ‘statute, the Bug Act, ‘‘Dory- ‘phora deécemlineata,” has not had the | courage to touch one single vine. | Work on the Cape Traverse railroad is |being energetically pushed forward, and | judging from the progress made this far, we j may expcctto see the work completed at the time specified, on or about Decew- ber Ist. The numberrof laborers employed on the road, as yet does not exceed 200, and wages range from $1.10 to $1.15 per day; fora horse and cart with teamster, $1.40 per day; for masons and stone cutters something more or less than $1.40 or $1.50 per day. ‘To such parties as live at a dts- tanee and think of coming to work on the new road these figures may be of interest. Mr. Wm. MeGuigan, tailor, who for some time past has been in failing health, is gradually sinking lower and lower without any hopes of his recovery. This will be sad news to his many friends and patrons, who saw in him good promise and every chance of-rising in his calling. But His will be done who rules all things. M. Somers, one of the strongest avd most faithful advocates of the N. P. regime in this locality, who, for some time past, has been very ill, is we are happy to state entirely recovered, and once again able to appear amongst us in his wonted vigor. Mr. P. Keefe, proprietor of the Somerset House has, during the past month, been employed ih adding somewhat elabor- ate and extensive improvements to his hotel, and is now prepared to accommodate the travelling public, or such persons a6 delight to spend a while in a pleasing part of the country, in the very best style, ' King Alcohol held high carnivalin our little village a few evenings ago, and, jjudging from the manner in which ihis votaries eujoyed themselves, we pre- sume to say that the orgie was a grand suc- cess. Still no very serious damage was done and very few bones were broken; but Sove_e Copies Two CrENts, VOL. 13--NO. 104 alas, on the following morning there was many a sore head. i | ° | Col. Hickman or some other temperance apostle is sadly needed around here just now. Iam glad to learn that the Colonel's labors throughout the different parts of the Island are bearing such admirable fruit, and wish success to the fullest extent to all those who have so muanfully espoused the good cause, and that God may guard the right. SWwITHEN, Somerset, Sept. 18 1883. CURREN? NOTES. Floods are reported to be doing great damage in Mexico, irre a Famine is completing the havoe ma@é by the eruptions in Java. A Vienna despatch says the Croatian riots are extending to the Bosnia border. The cotton miils at Pend!+ton, Lancashire, have been damaged to the extent of £60,- 000, Socialist agitators are causing considers able excitement among the lower classes in Vienna. Influenced by a temperance leader, arich English milier has destroyed a cellar of port wine. Mr. Parnell has paid off a mortgage on his estate of £13,000 from the proceeds of the testimonial fund. The Vanccuver Island railway is to be pushed to completion as rapidly as possible. It will open up a magnificent country. The celebration of the quarter-centenary of the birth of Martin Luther, the great Church reformer, at Wittenburg, recently was a great success, over fifty thousand visitors attending the ceremonies. The Crown Prince of Germany delivered an address eulogizing Luther’s life and work. Twenty thousand oil barrels, the cooper shop and adjacent sheds of the Standard Oil Company, six miles north of Milwaukee were burned on Friday evening. Several cars standing on the tracks were also con- sumed. Loss about $40,000. No insur- ance. The fire is supposed to be incen- diary.. The pipes leading to the big tanks were cut by the watchman, so the fire did not spread to them, The London Standard has along despatch from Hong Kong giving further details of the Canton riots. Ten English establish- ments, one American, ene French and two German were burned to the ground, and Ltwo English, one German and one French house were sacked by the ravb. Consuls have'sent an identical note to the vieroy, holding him responsible for the destruction. The arrival of two British and one French gunboats at midnight on Tucsday restored confidence. There is still great excitement in Canton.- Placards are posted on the walls applauding the action of the people in Ttaskine the settlement, and calling upon them next time to dé@stroy ths European devils as well as the rty. The con- suis will all admit the situa‘ion is very seri- ous and that the futpre of the European evlony is gloomy ia the extreme, It is now almost open war between them and the populace of Cauton, and il will be necessary to have ships of war there for pretection for a long time to come. The Exchange Bink of Canada has sus- pended payment, and will at once go into liquidation. Liabilities are $2,000,000 of deposits. The bank has $430,000 in circu- lation. Its last statement showed asurplus of $400.00. The cause of suspension is over discounting. The directors say that the circulatiog will be met promptly. There is fear of commercial tronble ensuing as the bank was said to be carrying some weak firms. The directors are wealthy men, and four out of the five hold » nearly three-fourths of the stock. M. H. Gault, M. P., the cotton king, was president of the institution last year, but was not re- elected. The depression in the cotton busi- ness is largely the cause of the trouble. The present directors are Henry Bulmer, president; Senator Ogilvie, A. Bunting, E. | K. Greene and Thor. Craiz. It is noticed that the Bank holds $277,000 of Dominion Government d-posits. This is a larger amount than is held by any other banking institution in Canada exe pting the Mon- treal and Merchants Banks, but while these have a capital of $12 000,000 and . $6,000,- 000 respectively, the canital stock of the Exchange Bank is only $500,000, It is clearly evident that the disease prevalent in Guaymas, Mexico, is yellow fever. All who can are fleeing from the city. A medical corps is being reinforced as rapidly as possible. Twelve members of a lately arrived opera troupe have died; eighteen deaths were reported Monday, and many other cases are not reported, The streets are almost deserted, the only aounds heard being the rumbling of the dead cart. The Board of Health has issued orders that the dead shall be immediately removed and buried. A party of twelve Americans, who had fled from Guaymas, arrived at San Francisco last night. They said the people were leaving the city by hundreds. There was hardly a bouse but contained some victim ef yellow fever. The authorities had given over the work of burying the dead to hired Indians, who went from house to houss carrying the bodies of those they supposed to be dead or dying. The bodies were buried so rapidly that mistakes were made, and many were put underground while still alive. This was maiuly due to the disease which, at a favorable turning point in a comatose state, is mistaken by the Indian undertakers for death. The whole city was panic stricken. Merchants had closed their stores an nailed up the doors, and all the restaureate were closed. There was no assistance obtainable, Reports from Hermosillo state that the fever is ragingthere, At Mazatian its ravages are even more frightful than in Guaymas. All who can are leaving for the mountains, carrying off what bedding they can pack aid # little uv, <= occ. ‘ 4 <a Sang ell em tH ne aR Eee: tat fay Ree NN as ees a gear oe a wanes | | | | |
