Tue storm which set in yesterday is report- ed to have raged violently througheut the Province, although it was but little felt jn thie city. The railway was considerably snowed up, but all trains, with the exception of No. 3 from Georgetown, arrived on time. The Georgetowa train arrived at Cardigan at noon and, for some fcause, yet un- known, had to return te Georgetown for a snow plough. Up to our going to press the train has not arrived at Mount Stewart.

Tur Government of Canada has now under consideration » proposal emanating from Sir John Glover, (+ C.4M.-G., Governor of New- foundland, for making St. John’s the summer part for the whole Deminion.

By this arrangement two or three days could be saved to vessels, and the resources of Newfoundland would be open- ed up.

City Council. FATHERS ACTING CHILDRI

OUR ‘CIy

On Friday evening an emervency meet- the City Council was jel forthe purpose of considering tho levying of a personal property tax tor the coiling year. In attendance were His Worship M Dawson, Councillors Morris, — Koughan, Crabbe, Hooper, Horne, Davy and Lawson. The meeting was called for 7.30 o'clock, but owing to the non Appear- ance of Councillor Beer, who is the rece- nized ‘‘ leader of the the Government,” the Council, it appears, could not proceed with the business for which it had been called: Tewards half-past eight noth- ing was done, and ‘‘tho ¢ \pposition’—which is composed of Councillors Crabbe, Byrne and Koughan—was restless, ‘blue mou!din’ for a batin’,” as it were. But there was no fight in ‘‘the Government,” who were, with- out their leader, in an apparent state of dis- organization. Counciller Koughan asked an explanation from ‘‘ihe Government,” and Councillor Lawson craved the indul- gence of the Councill until the arrival of Councillor Beer. Councillor Crabbe then madeaspeech. He said there were five oi “the Government” ‘present, and surely some of them could, in the absence of ‘the Leader,” introduce the resolution which, he was informed, it was their intention to do. Councillor Byrne followed. Ue un- derstood thata resolution giving notice of a bye-law for the levying of taxes would be tabled, but it appeared ‘that the Meses of tho majority was not present to give the law’ and nons of his tollowers were ready to take his plave. Ho! suggested that some of the promoters of thie} by-law sheuld give the negessary notice. Councillor Koughan thought Yhat none of ‘the government” would take the respon- sibility of introducing sucha by-law as the one contemplated, A messenger had been sent for ‘* the Leader of the Government.” Footsteps were at 8.30) heard on the stairs. ‘* Dread silence reigned within.” The mes- sOnger entered, and ‘‘ the leader’ was re- ported ill. Sympathy was freely express- ed, and Councillor Crabbe remarked that he was sorry the brain power of the Council was sick. He was in expectation that.some- thing would be done had Councillor Bee: arrived ; thata by-law would be introduced ; money would be raised: debts would be liquidated ; and the salaries of oflicials would be paid. But Mr. Beer was ill, and nothing could be done Councillor Lawsen askedan adjournment of the meeting. In the meantime he would hear from Coeunciller Beer, and if he would not introduce the resolution, some one else would. Council- lor Davy was asked to move the resolution, but declined, saying he ‘‘did net know Councillor Beor’s mind in the matter.” He and Councillor Lawson were then charged with being instrumental in calling the mee - ing for the purpose of tabling the resolutien, and now, because Councillor Beer was ab- sent, they showed the ‘‘ white feather.” Councillor Lawsen would net be taunted with cowardice, and in ‘‘ the name of, and representing Councillor Beer,’ arose to move the resolution. His Worship ruled him out of order, and the Ceuncillor resumed his seat. Heagain arose, and as he did it was whispered by one of ‘* the government” that it would be better for him table the resolution and introduce the by-law on his own responsibility. But here one of ‘‘ the opposition” repeated the invitation, ‘‘ Walk into my parlour says the spider to tne fly,” and Ceuncillor Lawson,

August Flower.

The immense sale and great popularity of Green’s August Flower in all towns and vil- lages in the civilized world has caused many imitators to adopt simi/ar names, expecting to reap a harvest for themselves at the expense of the afflicted. This medicine was introduc- ed in 1868, and for the cure of Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, with their effects, such as Seur Stomach, Sickheadache, Indigestion, Palpitation of the Heart, vertigo ete., etc., it never has failed to our knowledge. Three doses will relieve any case of Dyspepsia. Two million bottles sold last year. Price 75 cents.
