I am pleased with the ear iestness manifested at last night's meeting in the Market Hall. The Mayor and the ditferent speakers made a good impres- sion, which [| hope will remain. To me it seems pretty certain that the Citizens’ Com- mittee will carry their project befere the House, and that a law embracing their main ideas will shortly be enacted. This may be all right. But alongside with that, other citizens who are afraid of the large outlay, say $20,000 a year involved iu the foregoing plan, should go to work and see if they can do better. What of the boring plan? Are there any citizens who believe in this way of obtaining a supply | of water’ Hf there are they can do good by | taking up the question. Itcan be dune quickly jand cheaply. A little public spirit on the | part of a score or more citizens and the expen- | diture of $20 each by 100 citizens, would for- fever settle the vexed question either way. Have we 100 such citizens? They could go to work in a week and decide the question in three months. They need not wait for any- body. Let them each invest $20 to be re- embursed in case of success. The Citizens’ Committee can in the meantime go on with their project. If the artesian plan should be all that we want, the citizens would be only glad to abandon the more costly and risky way and take it, I subscribe $20 to be paid when 100 other citizens will adopt the boring system and subscribe $2,000 to test it. Yours Xe., D. McNetu. } in Memor am. Capt. Joun McKay died at his residence at Stanley Bridge on the 7th April inst. The Captain's illness commenced over a year ago. He was in his 49th year. Having been engaged in seafaring life at a very early age, he acquired considerable dexter- ity as a seaman, and was favorably known in the Island and adjacent Provinces as an active, careful and trustworthy master mariner. The foundation of his disease was laid in three acute attacks of rheumatic fever, and left him with an affection of the heart and anemia that finally carried him off. Merchants and traders, east and west, having vessels to guide inwards or outwards, felt a degree of security when Capt. John McKay was in charge. His funeral on the 9th inst was very large. The masonic lodge at Stanley, assisted by Mount Zion lodge, at Kensing- ton, buried him with masonic honors and ceremonies. Capt. McKay was deservedly respected, and will be greatly missed in the community. His family and friends have the sympathy of .fe community in their trying affliction. — Com. + <> + <p ———___ - fAmputating a Horse’s Leg.

This was done by Dr. Hulde- koper,.assisted by Dr. Ewing, and the animal is said to being doing well. This is the first case on record of such an operation in Am- erica. —_——>- -2 . a John T.
