Three Divisions.
The Session of the Local Legislature just closed has been remarkable in one respect. We refer to the tact that only three divisions took place in the Assembly, although some thirty bills were passed. ‘This wonderful unaniinity is the best evidence of the wisdom of the Government Policy. The opposition may have talked egainst the Administra- tion, but they would net incur the res- ponsibility of voting against them. Except with regard to the abolition of the Council, the Opposition have not shown that they differed from the Goverrmept on any important question. Even on the abolition of the Council, the Opposition (small as they are) were not united among themselves— Mr. Perry having voted with the Gov- ernment. Oue of the other occasions in which the Opposition recorded their dissent fronr the Government was a mere matter of adjournment. The Opposition, anxious to goto their dinners, moved the adjournment, which the Governmeat opposed.
If the Opposition believed the policy of the Government to be a bad one, they should have placed this disapprobation ou record on the Journals of the Assem- bly. Their failure to do may be taken as a full acquiescence in the acts of the Government. Actions speak louder than words. Empty declamation of Messrs. Yeo, Farquharson and Perry will uot disturb avy one, particalarly when they have voted the other way.

1o the Kditor of the Kxaminer, Year Sin,—A feeling ef insecurity is pre- valent ‘throughout the city. lt is rumored (ut whether a fact or not I cannot say) that the Directors of the Bank of P. E. Island are studying their own interest, rather than the welfare of the people. Their inactivity since the day of suspension, and their lack of zeal has, no doubt, forced this cenciusien. They were elected to their honorable position by the shareholders, on acceunt of their supposed business tact and ability to discharge the duties imposed upon them, ‘They were made the custodians of the funds of many of our people. in the event of a pressing emergency such as has unfortunately arisen, it was believed they would act promptly and bring order out of chaes in as short a time as possible. Have they used every means in their power to bring about resumption? Have they shown a determination te ensure this desired end ?
[do hope that the prevailing opinion is erroneous, and that every laudable effort will be used before the expiration of the ninety days’ grace. The suggestion of ‘‘ Depositor’ lis a good one. If thirty per cent. of the deposits be given the Bank, the sum would aggregate over one hundred and twenty thousand dollars, which would greatly im- prove the present comptexion of affairs. | Roping that every means will be used to en- gure resumption and avoid liquidation,

Dear Str,—In my letter published in Tre Examiner of the 23rd ult., I directed the attention of your readers to the neces- sity of improving our farm products, and a few suggestions as to the best method of accomplishing that purpose would, doubt- less, be beneficial to farmers of a progress- ive nature—having a tendency towards the development of our extensive agricultural

Church fund passed the Commons as | would be observed in our parliamentary | reports by a large majority. This bill | was introduced in consequence of the Privy Council of England having de-| clared the Acts of the Legislatures of Quebec, and practically also of Ontario, relating to this subject, witra. vires— inasmuch as the original Act, which created the corporation of the Tempora- lities Fund, was passed by the old pro- vince of Canada and affected two provinces, those of Quebec snd Ontario; the Privy Council in effect holding that the action of one province was not su(ifi- cient, aud suggesting that if the Domi- oion Parliament did not intervene there would be much litigation.
The present covering legislation was in consequence sought, but was fought at every stage by au active and able minority, who had aot entered the Pres- byterian union, but whose efforts failed of success. The bill recites that it had been represeated by petiticn that the Synods of the Presbyterian Church of Canada in counection with the Church of Scotland, of the Church of the Maritime Provinces in connection with the Church of Scotland, of the Presbyterian Church of the Lower Provinces, and the General Assembly of the Canada Presbyterian Church had wnited together and formed one body or denomination ot Christians, under the name of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, and that an Act of the province of Quebec was passed in February, 1875, containing provisions similar to those contained in the ‘present Act, but which Act of the Legislature of Quebec had been declared unconstitutional by her Maj- esty's Privy Council. It also provided for the legalization of the acts of the members of the Temporalities Board had and done under the disallowed Act, and that the revenues of the board should be

attacks upon her husband. Marshell Henry,

life-long friends, and the relations between our families are very intimate. His children have lived at my house for months at a time. Mrs. Garfield is in wretched health. These lately-printed attacks on her husband’s char- acter almost crushed her. She is a timid, thrinking woman atthe best, but the troubles of last summer nearly killed her, and now weighten her burdens from which she was slowly recovering, with these bratal asper- sioas. ‘Qh! it is infamous;’ and the big- hearted fellow shook his fist in impotent rage. ‘A fortnight ago I received a letter from Mrs. Garfield, in which she said her troubles
having claims on the fund, and that when these had all lapsed the residue | should be appropriated to forming a heme mission fuud to aid weak congre- gations in the united Church. The measure expressly reserved the rights of ministers who had declined te enter into the union to the same annuities as were received by the uniouists, and also pro- vided for the keeping up of the board until the charges on it should lapse.
The bill in its main features, as ixtro- duced, was acopy of the Quebee Act under which the fund had been adminis- tered since 1875, and passed the Com- mons in, we believe, nearly the shape in which it was introduced, with the addi- tion, however, of an amendment, assent- ed to by the promoters of the bill, which was suggested by Sir John Macdonald, and; afterwards taken up by Mr. Blake, which provided that the minority should receive a share of the residue of the fund, wheu it came to be wound up, in the proportion which the number of their congregation who remain- ed out of the union bore to those which entered it. The minority claimed the whole fund, buat after- wards proposed a division of it at present. This the majority accepted. stands, the bill gives the ministers of the miuority their anuuities along with the majority, and their congregations even- tually a proportionate share of the fund when wound up. ‘This mode of dealing with this vexed question, as will be seen, commended itself to the large majority of the House, and of both parties in it, aod we presume will ere loug be law.

If the farmer without any additional labor | or expense can successfully increase the yield from thirty to fifty per cent. by a judicious selection and change of seed, they would certainly be disregarding their own inter- ‘ests by continuing to neglect this question. | Owing to the multiplicity of improve- | ments in this line, and the continually in- | creasing catalogue of new varieties, it is to many a somewhat difficult matter to make a 'suitable choice. White Russian, (White | Australian) oats are highly recommended |as a hardy and prolific variety, yielding from thirty to one hundred per cent. more ithan the common kinds. The late rose potatoe is well adapted to the requirements f the Province, being suitable for home |consumption on account of its hardiness }aud winter keeping qualities, and when exported will realize the highest -price in | the American Markets. These if generally imtroduced would prove of ines imable value to the producer, because of productiveness and easy cultivation, as well as to the 'shipper who though invariably an extor- tionist (7?) is entitled to some return for moneys invested, which I regret to eay he does not alwaysreceive. But a great many farmers have no desire to experiment in this manner. Then let me advise such to exchange with their neighbors and use noue but the most perfect samples that they can procure for planting purposes, as itis on ail sides acknowledged that small, unripe, and imperfectly formed seeds can not possibly flourish like those more fully matured,
A considerable saving might be effected by bringing only clean and fresh eggs to market, keeping those partially hatched to supply the Thanksgiving poultry markets, aud if the henwife gives evidence of a determination to hold stock for several weeks before selling, there is no necessity for her to leave the buyers store in a rage becave only one or two good eggs can be found in her basket.
