Ir is said that the bone and sinew of the Grit office-holders are determined to stick at nothing to secure the defeat of Pope and

srecken.

Tne correspondent ‘‘ A. H.,” in this morning’s Patriot, is guilty of a perversion of the truth. Mr. Brecken was wnanimous- ly elected the colleague of Mr. Pope.

Tue Patriot, by its abuse of the Acadian French of this Island, has got itself into a tight place. Its editoris now attempting to reconcile himself with the French electors. He is too late!

Severat truckmen drove their horses furiously past the Police Station this morn- ing; yet the ofticers who, standing at the door, witnessed the violation of the law, made no effort to arrest the men,—Com.

Two divers (not drivers) arrived from Pic- tou on Wednesday evening. They proceed- ed to Summerside Thursday morning for the purpose of investigating the cause of the sinking of the Railway Wharf at that place.

Lert the public read the two communica tions in this morning’s Patriot, signed ‘*En- quirer” and ‘* A. H.” and they will be fully convinced that, in argument, the Grit daily is about ‘* played out.”

Proressor Crecit gave his first enter- tainment In the Market Hall, yesterday evening, to a large and select audience. The entertainment was very successful. The ‘‘ spirits,” as well as the committee, worked well. They made some of the tests appear wonderful and very amusing.

Caxapran Trape.—The Monetary Times says: “ It is a relief to find that the failure figures for Canada are in marked contrast this year with those for the States. While the number of them was 555 in the first quarter of 1878, it was but 392 in the second quarter, and the liabilities were less than last year.

Farmers from the different country dis- tricts inform us that the crops in general look splendid. Potatoes never appeared ‘o greater advantage than they now do. Turnips are rather light, owing to the dr}« neas of the weather after they were planted The cereal crop is abundant, and generally a most bountiful harvest is expected.

3UTCHERS’S STEAM WHISTLE sounded con- tinuously for ten minutes about 8 o’clock this morning. It was accepted as a signal for an alarm of fire. On enquiry, we ascer- tained that a house nearly opposite Dr. Johnston’s, on Kent Street, caught fire on the roof, but the flames were extinguished without the aid of the fire engines.

Ar the Stipendiary Magistrate’s Court, this forenoon, James Bastapol was fined $1 and costs or 4 days, for being drunk and in- capable. Robt. Larter, Pierce Larter and Daniel Madden were summoned on com- plaint of Dr. Mackieson for trespass, but only one of the number appeared. The case was postponed and warrants issued for the absentees.

We learn that the Station House, Tig- nish, is being used as a free distributing office for the ‘‘ Picnic Speeches of McKen- zie, Cartwright & Co.” The Station Mas- ter is librarian and agent for the work; and it is said spends much of his time in adver- tizing and discussing its merits. We direct the attention of the Railway Superintend- ent to this matter.

Messrs. Perry ann Yeo having notably failed to obtain a nomination in Summer- side, Tignish, or any other part of Prince County—being afraid even to call for a division at any of their meetings—are now, we learn, having a requisition hawked about from house to house forthe signatures of electors. This dodge will, we believe, elso fail. However, we shall see.

Ir, in our necessarily short and hasty resume of the speeches at the Grit meeting, the meaning of the speakers were not fairly conveyed we regret it. Hon. D. Davies complains that he was misreported. His letter in explanation is unavoidably crowded out of to-day’s issue. It will appear to- morrow. ‘The letter of a “‘Tradesman who has no confidence in Gritism” is also crowd- ed out.

The steam whistles in this city are very servicable in giving an alarm of fire. But, we think, an alarm could be much more effectually given by them, if, instead of a prolonged sound, quick, shrill alarms were given. We would then know the meaning; whereas, at present, we remain in doubt quite a while after the first signal is given. We hope the proprietors of the different factories will make a note of this.

THe death of Mr. Reginald Stewart will be a sad surprise to his friends. It is only a week or two sinco he matriculated at King’s College, Windsor. He was spending

part of the holidays with a friend at Hall’s,

fishing establishment, Rustico. A few days ago he was taken ill, and he died yesterday. The disease was diptheria, in its most ma- lizgnant form. Mr. Stewart was the young- est son of Robert Bruce Stewart, Esq.

New Post Orrices.—The following new Post Offices, established on this Island, on

H. Donglas, Postmaster; Nail Pond, Prince County, Patrick Clohosey, Post- master; New Annan, Prinee County, Robt. Walker, Postmaster; Palmer Road, Prince County, Michael Costain, Postmaster.

THERE is a great flourish of trumpets in the Patriot this morning because the Joly Administration at Quebce has managed with the bare majority of one at their back to struggle through the session just closed. Will the Patriot be kind enough to inform its readers what price was paid to sustain that writ majority? Will he deny that two small Banks in the Province of Quebec re- ceived from the McKenzie Government— under the pretence of a ‘‘loan’”—the hand- some sum of $56,000 during the late politic- al struggle in that Province? Query. —Will the said loan ever be paid back to the Do- minion Exchequer?

Tue attendance at the market to-day was the largest we have seen since the upper department has been opened. This depart- ment was crowded to excess with market people, and the tables were loaded with immense quantities of fruit, vegetables, and various kinds saleables. The following are the prices :—Currants (black) from 10 to 12 cents per quart; do. (red) from 12 to 16 cents per quart; do.

REDUCTION If PRICE!

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC!

fFNHE GENERAL MINING ASSOCIA.

TION (Limited) beg to intimate to the Public that the price of SYDNEY COAL has been

Reduced to $2 per ton of 2240 Ibs., a price which it is hoped will place it within the reach of all consumers.

The opening of the new winning at ‘‘ THE SYDNEY MINES” and the fact that the SYDNEY COAL now being shipped is all from the DEEP taken in connection with re- cent improvements in the process of screening, affords purchasers a positive guarantee of the very superior quality and condition of the SYDNEY COAL now offered for sale.

It is a well-know fact that for many years past the prices of other Cape Breton coals have been regulated by the rates fixed for SYDNEY COAL; but while it is true that other coals, to get a sale at all, have been pressed on the market at various prices under the current rate of SYDNEY COAL, it is no less true that, taking into account the superior lastin, qualities of SYDNEY COAL when compare with other Cape Breton coals, the advantage, both as to economy and convenience, is in favor of SYDNEY COAL, even at a much higher price.

The General Mining Association (Limited) regret that they should again have to caution the Public against the attempts being made from time to time to induce them to buy in- ferior coals purporting to be ‘‘ EQUAL TO SYDNEY,” “SUPERIOR TO SYDNEY,” etc., etc., while some yet more unscrupulous vendors have not hesitated to advertise their coalas SYDNEY COAL (from some designated locality). All these efforts to sell coal by such means are only so many admissions on the part of those who make them of the STANDARD character of SYDNEY COAL. 1t has come to the knowledge of the Asso- ciation that in frequent instances parties giving orders to truckmen and others for SYDNEY COAL have been furnished with other and inferior coal. The Public are cautioned against permitting themselves to be imposed apon in this way.

Every vessel loaded at THE SYDNEY MINES is furnished with a certificate of her cargo being Sydney Coal. Parties purchasing should satisfy themselves by demanding the production of this certificate.

The ‘‘ Sydney Coal” is registered under the laws of the Dominion, and unauthorized parties using the Trade Mark ‘“‘SYDNEY COAL” are lable to prosecution.
