Tue Fentans—Sounn Tatx.—The Irish Canadian of a late date concludes an article on the Fenian business as follows: ‘‘The irish Canadians for whom we speak are not a whit the less ready to stand up against Irish American madness or pro-Russian in- trigue, in defence of their hearths and homes to the last drop of their blood.”

Tue market was very well attended to- day. There was a large supply of poultry, butter, etc., and vegetables were as plenti- ful as generally seen atthe present time. ‘The following were the prices : beef (small) from 8 to 15 cents per Ib.; do. (qr.) from 7 to 10 cents per lb.; mutton, from 8 to 14 cents perlb.; lamb (per qr.)75 cents to$1.00; butter (fresh) ‘trom 22 to 25 cents per Ib. ; eggs, from 8 to 11 cents per doz.; oatmeal, from $3.00 to $3.50 ; flour; from $5.00 to $3.25.

Tus only case before the Stipendiary Magistrate this forenoon was that of Alixis McLeod, an insane woman, who was yester day arrested on complaint of Mr. George Walker.., all she beholds ; has power to intrude on all premises, whether public or private ; and aright to collect all the rents of her imagi estate, which consists of the whole City of Charlottetown. She entered Zion Church on Sunday, the 19th inst., took a front pew, and by her acts disturbed- the whole congregation. A prominent mem- ber—Mr. Walker—gently led her to the door, where Alixis halted, questioned his right to eject her from her premises, called a number of choice names, and, lastly, closed one of his eyes with a spit. She then left the Church, vowing vengeance against him. Mr. Walker is a Dominion messenger, and is very seldom off the street. Alixis frequents the public offices, and may at any time be found roving about Queen Square. She meets Mr. Walker several times every day, attacks him violently, tells

him of the hideous deeds done by his great-

great-grandfather, and winds up by spittiny inhiseye. She was sentenced to twentg days imprisonment.

Bradalbane Notes.

May 27, 1878. Owing to the fine weather for the past week, quite a number of farmers in the country round have their spring crops all in.

Some of our young men have been badly duped of late. We would advise them for the future to have permission from the senior members of the household before try- ing to pay attention to the young lady.

The fitting up of the Hall over Cousin’s store room is rapidly being pushed forward to completion. When completed it will be altogether handsome.

There was quite a sensation around the village on Friday morning last, created from the fact that a quantity of oysters and ale had arrived by train on the evening pre- vious, and its destination could not be fully ascertained. Butas it is the custom for some of our neighboring men™to hold se- cret meetings for the purpose of indulging in such as the above, its whereabouts is not uncertain.

Bristol, Eng., has been declared a port of entry for live stock brought from the United States and Canada and destined for the in- terior of England. This will be an appreci- able privilege for shippers, who could not heretofore land there any but dressed meat.

ALpertire AT Beturveav.—The Telegraph has the following :—

‘*Memramcook, May 24.—At Belliveau Albertite mines men have come upon a vein of pure albertite, which at first was from one to five inches thick, and has since increased to eleven inches, and now gives promise of good development. The stockholders are much encouraged.”

It is said the Albertite has not been found in the shaft which is being sunk, but in an outcrop on another part of the property. It was reported on Saturday that in conse- quence of the discovery the stock book has been closed. We have seen a sample of the ‘“‘find,” which is Albertite of the purest quality. —Moncton Times.
