The supper at night was one of the best we have seen prepared. ‘The edibles were of the most substantial kind, and the ladies displayed great tasve in the arrangement and manage- Ment of the repast.

Str,—Your useful every day paper makes known to the public all the good and bad things of the day local and otherwise. How is it thatyou have neglected to inform the public—what should have been published the length and breadth of the Island (which the royal sheet should have done some time since) — that the City Fathers or the Dominion Gov- ernment now insists on the small hundred be- ing the standard for both Aay and straw, in place of ‘the great hundred—1l12 pounds—to the ewt. li this is really the law, why not let it be publicly known, to prevent disputes and differences between buyer and seller ?

Winter Communication.

To the Editor of the Daily Examinr:

Sir,—L was very glad yesterday to read your well-deserved strictures on the mis- management of our railway ; though I think you rather injured your case by dwelling par- ticularly upon the inconveniences of the winter arrangement. The excuse wil! be made that there are, or may be, so many obstacles to be overcome in the winter that it is well to be on the safe side. But the fact is that the sum- mer time table was itself disgraceful; and that it was endured without complaint, can only be attributed to the fact that the people generally are unaccustomed to railway travel- ling and can be imposed upon wirh impunity. The steamboat train took three hours to go fifty miles, travelling very little faster than ‘the freight train. To gofrom Charlottetown to Souris took five hours. A person living in Souris, who had business in Charlottetown, must spend ten hours of the day on the road, and could have only three hours and a half in town—imost of which time was in the middle of the day, when it was almost impossible to do any business. And yet with this miserable accommodation the rates are quite as high as upon a well-managed road.

The immediate fault of this, rests either with the General or the Local Superintendent. It may be that Mr. McKechnie simply obeys the order of his superior, in which case no blame rests upon him. It may bé that he fails to act with the energy he should, and prefers to go on in a dead and alive, sleepy sort of a way.

after all, if the people are asleep, officials are

fn that case much blame rests upon him. But

Ut ceurse, if after having paid a large sum forthe | road, and while paying full rates for its use, we patiently endure the effects of official inertness an indifference, we must take the consequences— or rather keep them—for we have them al- ready. : An energetic management of the road wonid long ago, haye dou.e what you lately suggested, and have put on trains on market days, at con-
