We refer our readers to the excellent pro- gramme of Mr. Vinnicombe’s Concert. To xive the public some idea of the instrumenta- tion of the orchestra, it consists of 3 first violins, 5 second, 3 tenors, cello, contra bass, e wnet, clarinet and piano, This class of con- cert is now the most popular in England and America. It is pleasing to see that Mr. Vinnicombe and his class are doing their utmost to keep up with the times, This Con- cert has been in rehearsal for the past three months, the music being very difficult. We hope to see a crowded house so as to encour- aye them to continue ; and we hope that, in time, Charlottetown may justly feel proud of such an organization in their midst.

For some days past a well known livery- man, who recently invested in what he says is aiast piece of horse-flesh, has been talking ‘trot’ with all the ability at his command— even going so far as to offer to race anything in the city for $100 aside Another well- known citizen, ‘who keeps an hotel,” and is also something of a sporting man, hearing of this challenge, waited upon the livery-man this morning and offered to make a match. The livery-man, after some preliminary re- marks, said that he did not mean to trot him when he issued the challenge. The hotel man told him to “* put up orshut up,” and so settle the matter. As he has not ‘‘ put up” it is understood that he has ‘ shut up ”—at all events the match has not yet been arranged. =

Tue police yesterday afternoon searched the dwelling of an Upper Prince Street woman, susper ted of being the party

arg of shop-lifting in Sprague’s Bootstore « ew days ago,and found therein a pair of bead- et slippers, which Mr. Sprague says were stolen from his store. The facts connected with the shop-lifting appear to be as follows : A few days ago a woman anda young girl visited Sprague’s store and asked to be shown some boots. The boots were shown and, while the clerk's back was turned, a pair disappear- ed. Next day when Mr. Sprague was alone im the store, the girl entered and told him that her mother had bought a pair of beots there yesterday, which she would like exchanged for slippers. Mr. Sprague made the exchange aud pail the difference in the price to the girl.

A rew daysago a man named Cassidy, who was moraine snow olf the roof of the Fredericton, N. B., University, had a narrow escape frommedeathi. He had left a spare shovel lying on the roof near the side opposite where he was working where the loose snow had blown off, leaving a slippery crust. The shovel began sliding off the roof and Cassidy ran to catch it when he fell from the roof to the ground a distance of about fifty feet. He struck the iron gutter which runs along the base of the roof, breaking his fall a little. When he was picked up the only injury that he was found to have sustained, besides the shaking up was a broken rib, supposed to have been caused by striking the iron gutter.

THE OLD LIBERALS REASON TOGETHER.

—

HOW | ‘The stfrnames in the following dialogue are withheld for obvious reasons. Robert peys his neighbor James a visit, and after the usual enquires about his health—and sume talk on the news of the days—James commences the dialogue by saying :

;

| ** Well Robert, I suppose you intend to support the Liberal Party this time, as usual. They have nominated Davies and | Welsh, and they want me to do all I can forthem ; so Ll thought 1 would run over and have a chat with you?”

Ropert—** Indeed! I am glad to see you, Jamvs, at any time. We have been friends for many years, and always voted the same way; but I am not sure that I will | support the old Party this time.” | JAMES—** You surely will not go back on ithe Party now. I was at the meeting the other night, and Davies made a great speech. He said if we would put him in he would get free trade and reciprocity for us—that our share of the Fishery Award would be sure, and that he would build a railway to Belfast and Murray Harbor, and another to Rustico and New London, besides a lot of other places 1 forget the names of,”’

Rowerr—‘* These big promises is one of the reasons I am so disatisfied with Davies and the Liberal Party. You know how hard we worked for them before, and what a lot they promised ; but what did they do / Did they get us reciprocity—and where are the railways they built ¢”

James-—**Didn’t they giveusthe Northern Light; and Davies said at the meeting the jother night that he got the fishery award, and that the Queen wrote him a beautiful letter thankine him for his speeches, which, he said, was worth the fifteen thou- sand dollars he got.”

Roserr-—‘*The Queen's letter may very nice; but he promised us a million and a quarter for our share and we never got any. He got $15,000, but he put the whole of it in his own pocket, and what is worse he put a tax on our farms to pay his salary when he was away in Halifax getting it. Do you think Coles or Whelan would have done such a thing as that ?’”

JamEs—**Well, no, I don’t think they would, and I must say I don’t like the way he acted about that fishery business, my- self; but I think he is sorry and wont do it again.”

Roserir—*‘See here, neighbor, 1 am now getting to be an old man, and I never knew aman who commenced a_ political career to put money into his own pocket in a dishonest way that was worth much _ to the people. He would do it again if he had the chance.”

James—**Well, but he says Blake is a great man, and that he will do what Blake tells him to do.”

Rosert—‘‘And what is Blake goingtodo; for that is a thing we ought to know before we vote for Davies.”

James—‘*Oh, he is going to give us Reciprocity and Free Trade. He is going to let flour, coal and pork come into the Dominion free. He is going to let the Yankees fish wherever they like, and have none of this bother with cruisers, and then the Yankees will be so glad, and they will love us awful and give us everything we want. Oh, my! you ought to hcar Davies tell about what a great and good man he is, and what a devil that old Sir John A. is. He kept me nearly an hour the other day telling how Blake used to hate the French and Irish, and how he was converted all in a minute, and that he nearly cried his eyes out when Riel was hung, and you know how Davies himself used to tell about them *Papists.’ Well, he says now that Blake showed him that they were only bad people when they voted with the Tories, but that their religion would be good enough if they would vote with the Liberals.”’

**

be

Rosert—‘ Stop, friend James, you have been running on a long time and wont let me get a

word in edgeways. _In the first place, you say that Blake is going to take the duty off flour, coal and pork, I do not see how that is going to benefit us here. Flour is sold here now for $2 aewt., and I think that is cheap enough for anybody. Instead of letting American pork in free, I think that a higher duty should be put on their pork until they will grant Reciprocity to us. Taking the duty off coal will not make it any cheaper to us, as we get nearly all our coal from Nova Scotia. It might be a little cheaper for the manufacturers of Ontario, but not for us; besides he says that if he takes the duty off flour, coal and pork, he will put it on tea, sugar and mol- lasses, and that would bear heavier on us. All that talk about the Americans loving us so much is al) bosh ; they will give us Reciprocity when they think they will imake money by it, not before. Sir John A.’s government has offered them to take the duty off everything they grow if they will take the duty off what we grow.”

James—‘*Well, I must go home now, but you come to my house to-morrow night and we ll discuss it out.”

Porto Rico sugar.

a

HE good old West India raw sugar is now hard to get—for the refined article is cheaper and has almost crowded it ont of the market. We often hear the remark made: ‘* The sugar sold now-a-days is not as sweet as that we used to get years ago.” | Whether this isso or not we shall not attempt to say —but we do know this, that those who taste our Porto Rico Sugar de- clare it to be the real article, and *‘ some- ' thing like the thing.” It is sweet—and no mistake, but it is dear—seven cents per pound. Can we sell it cheaper than

this? Not if we are to make any profit out of it. But we have promised to give some

bargains this winter, and we will begin with this Sugar, and for a little we will) offer it at 6 CENTS PER LB. Now this is a’ genuine bargain and much below the value of the Sugar,—-and we expect those who want some of it to procure it without de- lay. It won't last long at this price.
