He is interested in a number of tine properties He is a man universally re- some of which would be giving him a nice} return, if he were not hampered ky too much partner. From here, Mr. Fletcher goes to Columbia, Dakota, where he has some town and farm property, then on to his home on Prince Edward Island. A safe journey and a speedy return is wished him by his hundreds of friends.— Silver Reeord, Gethic, Col. IN a private letter, Mr. Fletcher says: ‘*T regret to say that we have not yet reached the ore body onthe Luona, Yet the work of the past summer has proveo that three, at least, of my other mining properties wil! henceforth be paying miues. The Grey Copper, the Alphine and the Elgin have shown up splendidly and as soon as the Smeltzer near these mines is completed—which is now in course of erection—we can ship ore from all three. I have had a _ long, hard struggle in this mouutain country, but I am going to win yet. We are disappointed in the Luona, but not discouraged. The work done this season established the fact that there is a rich ore body somewhere not far from where we are working. Veio-feeders have been followed, out of which we have taken good mineral but not enough to pay. These feeders must have a source of sup- ply, but the mother vein pitches further into the mountains, if it does not lay nesrly flat, than auy of us ever supposed. A practical miner here has offered to lease the mine for three months and pay the Company liberally for it, but the majority of the directors, who live in Cleveland, like all “tenderfeet,”’ refused to consent, lest the man should strike the vein too soon, and make too much out of it. They argue that if there is mineral there, the Com- pany ought to have it. My opinion is that if the Company’ would only put a practical mining man in charge, instead uf book geologists, the Luona would soon be a paying property. I think the company have at last come to that conclusion themselves, and at a meeting to be held shortly at Cleveland I think this will be done, I expect to spend the winter with you on the Island again. Iam glad to hear that the crops have been good, and that the prospects for farmers are brightening. The more I see of the world the more I see to admire in the ‘Garden of the Gulf. But I have investments here, and must make them a success if it is in my power to do so.” —The Patriot of this evening may be expected to contain an article like the following: ‘*MORE NEGLECT,” A ‘Prom all parts of the country we hear complaints of the dangerous state of the roads this morning. The shipping #ason is drawing to a close and every day is of value ta the farmers in hauling produce to market, but owing to the slippery state of the roads to-day, very few were able to carry produce. The expense and loss of time in getting horses shod to-day is almost as great as a year’s levy under the tax-carse.. Why did not Sullivan & Co. bestir themselves and compel their well-paid Supervisors to be at their posts on the highways at 12 o'clock last night and put the roads in such condition that slip-shed or non-shod horses could draw loads over them in safety? But what does Sullivan & Co. care for the delays and inconvenience the fermere are subject to, through their negiect. If our defunct rulers trouble their heads about these things at all, it is more than likely they would prefer that there should be hum in the blacksmiths forges, so as to supply an argumentfin favor of the N. P. How much better it wouid be that the Government should spend afew thousand dollars occasionally in cutting the ice off the roads than that the bloated blacksmiths should be enriched at the expense of the honest and hardworking farm- ers. It is surely time that Sullivan & Co. should step down and out. ——+ * Des o——-— ——— —In the House of Commons, when the Canada Pacific Railway contract was under discussion, the Reform leaders maintained that the line along the north shore of Lake Superior would not be built. Mr. Mackenzie now says :-- “I think the company has clearly shown that it intends to go ahead and build the road, Chey have begun work between the Nepigon aad Pique rivers, in the country north of Lake “aperior, and that is one of the moat difficalt pieces of construction on the line. the distance between che two points in a straight line is only eighty miles, the road has to’make such a curve that 50 per cent. is add- at ed to the distance, maki: # in all 120 miles.

On Saturday forenoon a well dressed 'gentleman appeared at the Pelice Station ‘and inguired for the whereabouts of his isister-in-law, Miss Clarke. Officer Mc- }Gonnell, who is always obliging, said he did not know, but he would find out. On enquiry, he found that Mr. Dawson, better known as the ‘‘Two cent barber,” had been living with a woman similar to the one de- scribed by the stranger. He _ ac- cordingly conducted him to the house of the barber, and did not remain long before he discovered that instead of being the brother-in-law, he was the husband oi Miss Clarke, Mrs. Dawson or whatever her name may be. ‘‘Who’s been here while {'ve been gone,” he might well exclaim as he saw Dawson’s children occupying the departments he had entered. The wife at once recognized in the stranger her first husband, and received him with open arms. She fled with him on Saturday night and left husband No 2 in charge of the house and small children. Mr. Dawson is now on the war path. He will wreak his vengeance on the head of husband No. 1 and the policeman who helped to rob him of his faithless wife. ee Investigating a Lawyers Apart ments. Anpy Brown, a noted young street arab and vagrant, was, a short time ago, ordered by the Stipendiary Magistrate to leave the city and remain away until he had his Christmas dinner prepared for him. Andy couldn’t. On Saturday he came to the city, and as usual, got up to his eyes in miechief. He saw the office of Theoph Stewart, Esq., open and waited until he had left the apartment. Then entering he iecked the door on the _ inside, and proceeded to investigate. Mr. Stewart returned and saw _ what was passing. He notified the police and brave Andy was arrested. To-day Andy was ordered to find a situation in the country or go to jail for four months. He has not yet decided whether work in the country or cheap lodging all winter is to him most acceptable. __ om + A Foundling. “SOUALLS ON THE DOORSTEP.” Tue doorstep of Mr. William Brauders, Cumberland street east, was, at nine o’clock on Saturday evening last, made lively by the squalls of an infant. Mrs. Brauders, alarmed at the cries, opened the door and found they came from a basket laid on the step a short time previously. On investi- gation she found that the basket contained a delicate baby; ‘‘but such squalls.” The baby was made more comfortable by adding a quilt to its covering, and the police were notified. They took charge of the found- ling and placed it under the care*of Mrs Michael Carver. It is now doing well. The police have their suspicions about the mother, and are now on her track.

Poets rave about the ‘‘beautiful snow,’ but there was nothing very fascinating about it yesterday, as it yreeted one, out of a howling wind, from all points of the com- pass, with its spit, spat, sputter at every available corner. It was a blizzard of con- fusion, chilling, blinding, maddening, and’ all Souris said ‘‘winter is coming.” So 1883 has parted with its “sweet sum- mer days,” and Kate Clyde’s lovely song sounds like memories of the past. Here are her words:— ‘‘Amid the soft mists of thy gold glinting hours My heart is abrim witha rapturous bliss, As the sweet-scented sighs of thy beautiful flowers Are freighting the air with a somnolent kiss. The soft zephyrs stir with an indolent bustle, Scarce fluttering the leaves of the green, drooping trees, Until, with a sudden and mischievous bustle, They swell to a freshening, sweet-scented breeze. Across the expanse of the sky’s azure tinting. Wee cloudlets and drifting, like tangles of lace, While thro’ the tree-tops the sunshine is glinting, And kissing with rapture, each flower’s fair face. The butterflies flit, mid the odorous clover, Cognetting at will.with each shy little head Which bashfally droops at the kiss of the rover, And seeks ‘the soft folds of its emerald bed, White lilies stand silent and cool in the bushes That tenderly brood by the rivulet’s side; The slow-swaying reeds and the green tangled rushes Make musical dip in its murmering tide. Low melody floats from the blossom-strewn meadow, The soft, dreamy chime of the slow-tinkling bells, Where the cows ruminate in the cool, grateful shadow That rests like a veil o’er the still mossy dells.” Yes, the “sweet summer days” have vanished for the present, and how we are reminded of the words of Sargent : ‘*The cold blast at the casement beats; The window panes are white; The show whirls through the empty streets— It is a dreary night!” The farewell supper to our ex-postmaster, Mr. R. F. McDonald, came off in the Odd- fellows’ Hall, on last Tuesday evening. There was a good ‘‘spread.”” Over forty saat down to the table, among them many of the principal residents of this locality. Mr. McDonald is highly respected, and his being the guest of the evening was only his due, Messrs. McKinnon and Boysner catered on the occasion, and Dr. McIntyre acted as croupier. The supper was well discussed, and toasts became the order. The following and other general toasts were proposed and suitably responded to:— The Queen. Parliament of Canada— Responded to by G. B. MecEachern. Local Legislature—Responded to by J. R. McLean. President United States—Responded to by T. McDonald. Guest of the Evening—Feelingly respond- ed to by himself. The Merchants and Mercantile interests of the Province—Responded to by Uriah Mathew and Joseph Doyle. — The Fisheries— Responded to by Dr. Ford and James McQuaid. The Ladies—-Responded to by T. Me- Donald. Our absent friends, &c.—Responded to generally. Mr. McDonald has selected to go to British Columbia, and leaves here on Monday. Both himself and his good lady carry with them the best wishes and warm- est respect of a host of friends. Sic eunt fata hominum. Quando ul!um inveriemus parem! Good-bye and good-luck, Your correspondent has had many visitors to read the report of Professor Foster’s temperance address, published in your issue of the 14th inst. A noteworthy feature in Tue Examiner is the large space given to temperance items; that and its own favor- able advocacy of the cause is gaining many new friends among temperance men. Mr, Foster's address brings forcibly to mind the words of Dwight Williams: ‘* There is an evil in the land, Rank with age and foul with crime, Strong with many a legal band, Money, fashion, use and time; Tis the question of the hour, How shall we the wrong o’erpower ? Vote it out! This will put the thing to rout, Vote it out! Let us rise and vote it out !” We must not only vote it out, but see well to it that the vote takes positive effect. Rum -asa beverage can claim no “legal band” on this Island. This morning we hear the jingle of the sleigh bells, although the roads are in that uncertain condition which makes both waggoning and sleighing not very comfort- able or pleasant. We must wait a little longer before we can hear the sleigh bells in all their charms, as depicted by Edgar Allen Poe. **The Assistant Commissioner of Public Lands,” according to notice, will be, ‘‘at Lord’s Hotel, Souris, on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, the 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th of December, to receive amounts due for sale of lands, ete.
