Forsahy, is in very ill health, Mr. Forsahy, it will be re- membered by many of your readers, was in charge of this congregation some years ago, and he worked himself so deeply into the ailections of the people that a unani- mous call was given him to come to their midst again.

The members of Pheonix Temple spent avery pleasant evening on their moon- light excursion in our harbor on Thursday last. The evening appears to have been manufactured solely for the occasion. The moon seemed to have been newly burnish. ed, so brightly did it throw its radiant liget. The instrumental music was not very good, but the vocal compensated for any defect in the instrumental. At about half-past ten o’clock this happy and lights hearted band returned to their respective homes, all seeming to be full of the best spirits (1 don’t mean spi.its of liquor).
Summerside is visited by a pest in the shape of insects resembling somewhat a morquito. They come in swarms, and frequent in greater numbers the houses near the shore.

andthe highly cultivated fields of oats, barley, wheat and potatoes in their well. known tin's, show an unrivaled landscape not to be found elsewhere. fhe commercial situation of Charlottes town on the junction of three noble rivers, and so well sheltered from the violence of the Straits, bespeak a substantial trade. Che city is ievel,rendering it easy for build- ing and general improvement, not like the hilly and rocky sites of other cities in less agricultural countries, where large sums o! money are first spent in quarrying and re. moving rubbish, before a foundation is ob- tained, ere a building can be erected. A number of stately buildings and ornamen- tal poplars grace the town; but the want of safe and permanent side-walks is strik- ingly evident to every stranger — the ill- Kept streets and neglected squares induce one to think that every office~holder must, by law, be required to deposit the contents of his waste paper basket on the grass, asa voucher that he has served his country and done a sufficient amount of scribbling, ere he can receive his pay. If the corporation would appropriate a small sum of money yearly to the dressing of grass in the park— enclosed by suitable iron railings—especial- ly Queen’s Square,the most important spot in the city—it would not only improve the appearance of the public editices, but would also work an improvement on the morals and taste of the lower class. But on reflection, we should excuse the City Fathers, for | undeestand their time is taken up with more valuable work, viz: political jobbing. Yours truly

other Protestant candidate they had se- lected, vyiz., Mr. Cundail. I presently
| consented, and the “Society”? accepted us.
Our names were before their several meetings, and were passed out to the pub- lic; and, | think, were also in print.
At one of the meetings it was proposed to “start” a requisition for pur candida- ture; but they were waiting for a colleague from the Catholic community.
For some reason, at the meeting on Monday, 13th inst., some one expressed a hope that they had selected the right men, well—they would go to the ballot, and they | nominated a Catholic gentleman as our cols | league, who afterwards declined to accept. Just then a new man, Mr. W. E. Dawson, was mentioned by a person whom I had not seen there before. The ballot came
(out all right; we three had a good majority 5
vote. It was then decided that a public
friends of the Bolton Liberal Club, paid a visit to Hawarden Castle, where, on Mr. Gladstone’s invitation, they spent the day strolling about the beautiful grounds. Dur- ing the morning a personal appeal was made to Mr. Gladstone to show himself to the excursionists, and this at length he con- sented todo, He said he had arranged to cut down a tree in the park in the course of the afternoon, when he should be happy to afford the excursionists the privilege they so much desired. Accordingly at four o'clock the right hon, gentleman, ac. companied by Mrs. Gladstone and Mr, W. H. Gladstone, M. P., were descried emerging from the entrance to the castle, and coming to the tree, which was a large ash, at least 16 ft. in circumference, the right hon, gentleman and his son pitched down their axes, which were slung across their shoulders, and proceeded to strij) in woodman fashion, They commenced to hew down the treeamid the cheeis of the excursionists, At the first “rest” the choir of the Claremont Baptist Chapel, Bolton, sang several glees very sweetly; and at the conclusion of the ‘March of the Men of Harlech,” Mr. Glads stone said Lancashire was well known for the quality of its singing, and the choirs of Bolton maintained the honour of their county. The Right Hon. gentleman and his son then resumed their task, the excur- slonists cheering at their heavy strokes, and rushing forward to secure the chips, which were sent flying right and left, to take home as ‘mementoes.’’ Towards five o'clock Mr. Gladstone slung his coat across his shoulders, and listened to a vote of thanks proposed by Mr, Chirnside, Secre. tary of the Church Ward Liberal Associa- tion, Bolton, and seconded by Mr. Constan- tine, for the use of the park to the excur- sionists for the day. Mr, Gladstone, in reply, said it gave them great pleasure to see others enjoying the park they loved so much, He spoke for his wife and son, for all three had only one mind. It was a great contrast to manufacturing towns, but he hoped the day would come when there would be a less complete contrast between manufacturing towns and the the country. There were three things that made large towns disagreeable— wd sinells, want of pure water, and abun- iuuce Of smoke. He did not think God Almighty ordained any of those things. He did not think it hopeless to see a great im- provement, and he wanted them to think of it, because there was always some one who thought themselves interested in maintain- ing them, He tolda story of a paper manu facturer Who expected to be ruined when the paper duty was taken off, but who made £3,000 a year by using his refuse, instead of throwing it into the river. He would not taix polities, but they had great power in their hauds, and he hoped they would think of these things. They could not make the town as beautiful as the country, but they could make it less debased and deformed, Mr. W. Li. Gladstone also spoke, and, al- luding to a reference his father had made to his age, said they had seen the day he Was not past working. A voice cried, **He is able to lead us yet,” at which Mr. Glad- stone shook his head. Mr. W. H. Gladstone said all of them must feel his time had come again, and his services be required; but whether he were willing or no to enter the service of his sovereign, he always valued the approbation of his fellow countrymen.

— attended a meeting in the Athe- ne#um on Friday evening last, for the pur- pose of nominating candidates for the Licensing Board, it was agreed that the three persons re- ceiving the highest number of ballots should be the choice. Messrs. Dawson, Cundall and Blake received the nomination. The next highest on’ the list was the Hon. H. J. Callbeck. Since then Mr. Blake has declined to run. In Monday morning’s Hxaminer, Mr. Joseph Knight offers his services to the public without getting the consent of the meeting that nominated the can- didates, although he received but very few bal- lots on Friday night. Since Mr. Knight has thought proper not to be bound by the decision of the meeting, it opens the way for others, and J, therefore, offer myself as a candidate for the suftrages of the people.’ If elected, I shall en- deavor to discharge my duty fearlessly and im- partially. In our City we have taverns, or night colleges, where the young are taught to drink swear and gamble ; and, if elected, I shall do my utmost to have them closed, The morals of the community must be sacredly guarded and the majesty of the law faithfully vindicated .j .
