Greasian pudding would be & better name, with the interests of the packers to shut down at all, The season might be shorten- ed but it should never do to close the industry. There is $500,000 invested tn plant, and thousends are employed in.the factories; and it would not do to elose down. Howack Haszanp thought that a fishing acason of less than ninety days would be useless to packers. Twenty days out of the season, at least, would be iost on ac- count of high winds, Sundays, ete., and no “money could be made in less than seventy days fishing. A. F, Lanxins said it wonld be ruin- a AXAMINER. FEBRUA RY 24. ous to have a shorter season than ninety days, and a full year’s notice should be given before even that change was made. If the lobster fishing is closed down as threatened, there is no doubt in the world that the Government will have a population on their hands to faed. He thought the packers and the wardens of each locality might agree upon a season ta fish ingwhich should in no case be less than ninety days. Auexanper McKinnon wished to know if there were really any good grounds for the report that the fisheries were about to be shut down. It would, he thought, be ridiculous te pass a resolution on tho mere report of a newspaper. Perhaps Dr. Jenkins could throw some light upon the matter. Dr. Jenkins said that while in Ottawa last fall, he conversed with the Deputy Minister of Fisheries, but heard nothing, whatever, about shutting down the factories. No good government would, he felt sure, do such an arbitrary act, with- out, at least, giving due notice to all con- cerned, But he thought it quite likely that a change should be*® made in the close season; and in his opinion reliable information should be obtained as to the habits of the fish, befere any action vas taken by the Department. Mr. Horace Havzarp believed there was something more than a mere rumor in the proposition to close the factories, He came to the conclusion from what he him- self heard at Ottawa a year or two ago, Hoe would be very sorry to vote for the resolu- tion if there were no grounds for it, Grorck Lonaworra said he had infor- mation which led him to the conclusion that there was something in the report. Mr. Gavin did not see why the resoln- tion should not pass, even though the Government had not proposed shutting up of the factoriee. The report mig'gt perhaps ba put outas a feeler, and if no protest vas even made, the factories might be shut aownh. After some further discussion the resolu- tion passed unanimously. Grorck LoneworrH then proposed the following resolution : Fesolyed, That this meeting suggest to the Government that (after twelve months notice being given) three months be allowed to fish at such times as suiteach locality under the control ofthe Fishery Inspectors or Wardens, as it has been proved beyond a doubt that the same season will not suit all sections of this Island, and we are firmly of opinion that such a regulation would tend more to the protection of this industry from the fact that packers would then only catch the lish when in proper condition for canning. Mr. Robblee seconded the resolution, T. A. McLean agreed with the resolution but wanted to know why ask twelve months’ notice ? Mr. Larkins said that many persons had already eugaged their hands, and if the Government interfered this year it would knock their baviness ont of joint. Mr. Mclapyes thought it would be well for all packers to act in concert with the Government, and give the Government reasonable assistance. He believed there was little fear of the factories being closed down by the Government. Such a measure would be disastrous. It would deve many of the best packers out of the business, and they would not go back to it at the end of three years, and a great deal of the plant would be destroyed. Besides, a large namber of factory hands would be thrown out of employment and on the hands of the Government. He had much pleasure in supporting the resolution. JAMES STEWART moved, seconded by T. A. McLean, that the words * 5 twelve months’ notice being given” be sffick out of the resolution. After some further discussion the amend- ment was put and carried, and the resclu- tion then passed as amended—unanimously. Joun Hueurs, Esq, proposed the fol- lowing resolution :— Resolved, that the Lobster-Fishing Industry is too important to general and individual interests to be inconsiderately tam d with, and that owing to the uncertainty tat exists with refer- ence to this industry, those persons who have in- vested their means therein, labor under many and serious disadvantages through depreciation in value of buildings, plant and machinery, caused by such uncertainty, and as the number of persons engaged in and depending upon this industry number not less than 14,000, we do urge upon our representatives in Parliament the necessity of ex- erting their influence to see that the interests of the Island packers are not set aside in any gen- eral measure of change, for the reason that this Province labors under many disadvantages that do not affect the mainland; and that owing te our isolated positions, packers are obliged to purchase their suppl.es six months previous to the opening of the season. The resolution was seconded by Mr. Lantz, and passed unanimously. JoHn Huaues, Esq , then submitted the following reaolutien : Resolved, That a Committee of five bo appeint- ed to draw up and forward the Hon. the Minister of Marine and Fisheries a memorial, embodying copies of all the resolutions passed at this meet- ing, and pointing out in the strongest terms rea- sons why the resolutions now passed should be acted upon apart from the r@gulations governing the lobster fishery on the mainiand. Mr. Suerar seconded the resolution, and it passea unanimously. The following Committee were then ap- pointed to «arry out the last resolution, viz. : John Hughes, George Longworth, Peter Gavin, Horace Haezard, and Hon. D. Davies. Votes of thanks were then tendered Dr. Jenkins, M. P., and the Chairman, and the meeting adjourned. ++ m+ ---—- Supreme Court, King’s County. Georcetown, Feb. 23, 1886.

Judge Hensley then delivered his charge to the Grand Jury. His Lordship referred to the absence of serious crime in King’s County. That, with the exception of as case for assaulting a constable, ha was not aware of any criminal business before 1886. ee LO the Court. Hia Lordship, however, re- ferred to the violation of the Scott Act in Prince and Queen’s Counties; but as regards King’s County, the Jury would know better than he, how the Act was kept.

A meeting of the electors of the Second Legislative Conneil District of Queen's County was held at Ten-Mile House, Lot 35, la:t evening, for the pnrpose of select- ing a candidate to represent the district. Mr. Trainor was appointed chairman and Mr. P. McQuaid, Secretary. Mr, Henry Bovyer was the first to address thea meet- ing and was Jistened to with marked atten- tion. He announced his in'‘ention of supporting the preseat Government in case of his election, which appeared satisfactory to the meeting, Mr. Bovyer was followed by Mr. Campbell, who im an able speech warmly upheld the present Government, and compared their acts with the extra- vagance an / mistimanagement of the Davia- Stewart combination, much to ihe disadvantage of the latter. His speech was recsived with applause, After remarks by one cr two ether speakers, enlogistic of the present administration and eudorsing Mr. Bovyer’s candidature, the meeting dis- persod.

An English writer of fashion gossip says that women are now-a-deys expected to dress to match their china. In the township of Louth, near St. Cath- arives, Oat., a colored woman nearly 121 years old, died on Sunday. Nova Scotia mines produced about $500,- 000 worth of gold last year, or some 4,000 ounces more than tho yield of 1884. The English Court of Chancery has sane- tioned an auction sale of the Blenheim art collection in Jung, with the exception of fainily portraits. The revised statement of population and sex in Massachusetts, just sent out, shows that there were st the dato of the census 932,884 males anu 1,009,257 fema'es in the state. A correspondent wants to know if it is proper to urge a young lady to sing a‘ an evening gathering after she has refisod once, It is proper to urge a little, but not too much, lest she should change her mind. aa The strike, which was inaugurated by less than a score of freight brakemen on the Morgan, New Orleans railway last Suaday, has steadily developed until over 700 men are out and 500 others have been deprived of employment. It is said that cannibals will not eat the fiesh of persons who drink liquor or chew tobacco. Let us see, it is a long time since we knew of a missionary being eaten by cannibals.

Itrelates to a rooster that isjsaid to have been buried several feet deep in a drift for two daysand two nighis, with the farm animals travelling over him, and to have come out alive and crowing. A recen: romantic incident, the story of which comes from Dakota, reverses the usual rule. A young lady in ove of the older south counties, in packing a barrel of eggs for New York, put her name and address upon one of the eggs, with the request that the finder, if eligible for matri- pmony, should write her.
