To CorresponpEeNts.—We have received some communications anent the heterodox ideas propounded by Mr. Charles Watts—all of which we decline with thanks. To our orthodox correspondents we suggest that it seems hardly fair to attack a controversialist who is absent; to the heterodox we submit that as most of our people think that the firm- er their belief in Christianity the happier and better they are, it is not expedient to try to de- stroy their faith. At any rate, THe Exam- INER is a secular newspaper.

Tickets will be issued in a few days, and will be sold at a nominal sum. The advertisement will soon appear, and in the meantime it will be well for pleasure seekers to keep the Pagwash excursion in mind.

Tae Home Lisrary AssocraTIon.—Among the many new and ingenious methods of —< ing standard literature within the reach of all people, and of enabling persons of slender means to obtain a library at a small cost, the method devised and adopted by the Home Library Association of Chicago seems the most advantageous, practical and effective which we have yet seen. This method does away with the profits of wholesale, retail and jobbing merchants, and places the advantage with the people. A representative of the Association is at present in this city, and will spend a few days in calling upon our citizens, and soliciting members.

Two Svccestioxs.—It is suggested that other races should be held on Summerside Driving Park on the day on which the match between “Hernando” and ‘ Black Pilot” will take place. Thousands will, no doubt, attend that race and it seemsa pity that while there are plenty of fast horses through- out the Province the fua should end with the great stallion race. A lively race might be had in the 2.40 class. Another suggestion is that special precaution be taken to prevent the supply of either intoxicating liquors or exhilarating fluids to those who attend the race. In these days of “free rum” men are apt to take too much whea excited.

Asorner Bear Story.—The Souris cor- respondent of the Summerside Pioneer states that the largest bear ever killed at East Point was shot a few days ago by Mr. R. N. Mac- dougald, of East Lake. Bruin had been feast- ing on spring lamb, ete., for several days, and finally the neighbors turned out and hunted the intruder down te a point where the Lake was on the one side and the North Shore on the other. Men were stationed in various positions, and the bear, seeing that his escape was cut off, made a dash for a solitary grove of bushes. Mr. Macdougald, having his shot gun charged with three slugs, and being in @ position about fifty yards from the fleeing culprit, raised his piece and fired, one slug hitting him in the ear and the other back of

the shoulder opposite the heart. The animal gained the woods, but there dropped dead. —-—@————

Parnell’s Latest Move.

Lonpon, July 9.

tn the Commons to-day, Sir Fredk. Law- son, Home Ruler, asked whether the gov- ernment would grant the appointment of a committee to enquire into charges against the leaders of the Nationalist party. In reply, Hon. Mr. Smith said the House was incompetent to inquire into the charges. The proper inquiry could be obtained through the proper tribunals. Mr. Parnell later gave notice that on Thursday he would submit a motion for the appointment of such a committee, and will also ask the government to appoint a day to discuss the subject and give him an opportunity to repeal the foul and unfourlded charges

made against him by Attorney-General Webster.

A Serious Charge.

Lonpon, July 9.

In announcing the death of Mr. Mande- ville, Mr. O’Brien declared in the Commons to-day that Mandeville had been murdered by British treatment in Tullamore prison. He was kept many days on bread and water and would have died of starvation but for the compassion of the officers in giving him some scraps of food. He never recovered from his suffering under that treatment. O’Brien asked Balfour what the official in- formation was with regard to the death of Mandeville and whether the Government would take measures to secure an adequate enquiry into the cause of his death.

Balfour replied that the existing system of law was sufficient to ensure proper in- quiry, if any was necessary.

O’Brien considered the reply unmeaning and evasive. He stated he would renew the question on Thursday. If he found the Government were not making a searching inquiry into the matter, he would challenge the opinion of the House with regard to it.

A 15-foot culvert was inadequate to carry the immense volume of water which backed up, carrying away two houses, the inmates of which were only rescued with great diffi- culty. Reports of deatu and destruction are numerous. It is reported that a family of four named Williams were washed away and drowned. So far no bodies have been recovered.
