As will be seen by reference to our adver- tising columns, Mr. \V. A. Breynan, of the Summerside Juurnal, has established a branch of his Bookbindery and General Job Printing business in this city. Mr. Brennan is a practi- cal printer of large experience, and we heartily wish him all the success he can receive from a business that is already much overdone, nea

OSrarto Pump Company.—Mr, James M., Syuarebridge, of Stanley Bridge, and Mr, Jas, McKie ot Charlottetown, are authorized to act

for pumps for deep wells. The pumps of said company are warranted to work satisfactory, ani they will place them in any well, no matter how deep, aod satisfaction guaranteed. The company is strictly reliable, and will ful- fil their conditions to the letter. As the farmers of this Island have largely to depend on wells for their water supply, a good pump is a necessary article for them; they would

therefore do well to give the pumps of the above company a trial. We _ under-

stand that Dr. McNeill, of Stanley Bridge, imported one of these pumps for a well 56 feet deep, aad he speaks in the highest praise of its merits, This compsny erects windmills for raising and pumping water into cisterns, tanks or reservoirs. For the city of Char- lottetown this would be a great benefl, and

munication with the said company in order to furnish cheap water for the cttisens of Char- lottetown.—Com,
