Faw a n a+? 7T mete S Monster Mesting at Rustico. |
The largest and most orderly meeting ever seen in this place was held at the Bank Building, on the evening of the 21s¢ inst. The meeting was organized by appointing Mr. Ephraim Gallant to occupy the Chair, the undersigned to act as Secretary.
Donald McKay, Esq., one of the late re- presentatives, then appeared on the plat- form, and was greeted with cheers. He proceeded to give an account of his steward- ship as the people’s representative for the last two years. He had endeavored to carry out’ the views of his constituents, as ex- pressed by them at various public meetings called throughont the district during that time; he was now again seeking their suf- frages, and if they considered that he had proved worthy of the confidence reposed in him by the electors of this @istrict, and would again replace that confidence in him by electing him at this ‘time, he was deter- mined to keep a watchfal eye to their, in- terests. He criticised many of the actions of the late Government, and explained the policy of the’ present party. Mr. McKay was heard with marked. attention and re- peatedly cheered.
Mr. Farquharson came forward next and proceeded to explain his conduct as one of our representatives. He considered the Assessment Act was the poor man’s Act, and endeavored to justify the exemption of towns from taxation for~general purposes. He congratulated the clectets on the good order which prevailed at this meeting, it being the largest he had ever attended in this district,
Mr. James
Power read a resolu-
tion which had been passed at a very large meeting held here some
time ago, instructing our representatives to oppose the late Government unless the Assessment Act would be amended, to in- clude the towns. At the time the resolu- tion was passed, Mr. Farquharson was present and defended the Act as it stood ; but the resolution had been carried unani- mously, and, Mr. Farquharson having failed to convince the meeting, premised on that occasion to carry out our views as ex- pressed in said’ resolution. Having de- ceived the people on that occasion, he (Mr. P.) believed he (Mr. F.) would do so again, and he-for one was not going to trust him.
William Laird, Esq., spoke-a short time in defence of the late Government. He J. H. McInnis, Angus Gregor, Thomas Doyle, Joseph Doucette and F. E. Buote, -al! of whom agreed that Mr. McKay deserved the sup- port and confidence of the people at this time, and criticised the course pursued by Mr. Farquharson.
Charles Gregor, Esq., stated that he had formerly supported the Davies Party, but was turned against them by ‘‘that well- known curse”’—the Assessment Act—and could not eipport them at this time. He agreed with Mr. McKay on many points ; thought $100 sufficient remuneration for members, and advocated a general reduc- tion of salaries,
J. M. Robertson, Esq., proposed, and Mr. ‘James Power seconded a resolution nominating Mr. McKay. Messrs. Laird and Farquharson were, also nominated, and a division was taken between Messrs. Mc- Kay and Laird, when the chairman an- nounced four (4) for Laird and all the rest for McKay -—their being about six hundred (600) present. Mr. -Laird’s friends, how- ever, claimed eight (8).
On motion, the chairman left the chair, and Mr. J. K. McInnis took the same, when—
Mr. Farquharson mbdved, seconded by Oapt. J. McKay and W. Laird, Esq., that the thanks of the meeting be tendered to the chairman for his able and impartial
conduct in the chair. Carried unani- mously. Three hearty cheers for Mr. McKay
brought the meeting ‘to a close at three o'clock, a.in, SterHen GALian7, Sec’y. Rustico, March 24th, 1879. (Other papers please copy)

Liboral-Conservative. Meeting at New London.
Purcint to notice, a large and inflven- tial mce.ing was held at Stanley Hall this evening, at 6 o'clock, p.m. Meeting or- ganized by the appointment of Henry Squarebridge to the chair, and the under- signed Soe’y.
The Chairman explained the object of the meeting by stating that it was called for the purpose of deciding who the Liberal- Conservative candidates for the north end of the First Electoral District of Queen’s County was to be.
Dr. McNeill said he had been nominated at a respectable meeting of Liberal-Conser- 'vatives, and claimed he was the only L. C. | Candidate in the ield, and wished an ex- | pression of opinion from the meeting, to as- ‘certain if they endorsed his nomination, ‘after which he addressed himself to the | policy of the Government, declaring him- self an unswerving supporter of the present | Goverment.
| Arthur Simpson, Esq., proclaimed him- iself a party man. Did not believe in Coali- | tion Governments. He instanced . the | Davies-Stewart Government as a case in | point, and regretted that Dominion politics had been mixed up with Local; but believ- ed that our policy should be to support an

After which the meeting was addressed by G. B. McKay, Esq., W. Hogan, Esq., and Angus Gunn, Esq., all of whom ap- proved of the course recommended by the previous speakers. Whereupon Mr. F. Mohan came forward and proposed the fol- lowing resolution, seconded. by G.+B. Me- Kay, Esq. :- -
Resolved, That this meeting pledge them- selves to support Dr. McNeitl, the only true and legitimate nominee of the Liberal-Con- servative party in the’ North end vof | this District, and the unswevering supporter of the present Government.
Which resolution was put to the meeting and carried unanimously. A delegation of three, viz, Arthnr Simpson, Esq., Wm. Hogan, Esq., and Thos. Reid, Esq.,.was then appointed to attend the meetings to be held in the South end of the District.
After which it was Resolved to have the report.of this meeting published in the Ex- AMINER newspaper; with a request for other Island papers to please copy.
The meeting then adjourned, giving three cheers for the Doctor and the present Gov- ernment.

“Roofing the Streets.
Londoners, discussing the project for covering Regent street, their finest thorough- fare, with a glass roof, stretching above the eaves of the houses on either side, and to have the huge areade which such a course would make illuminated by electric lights. A writer in the Boston Journal thus says of that and similar projects :—‘‘ If Regent street ‘takes the initiative in the matter, perhaps the Washington streets, the Broad- ways and Chestnut streets on this sidé of the water will follow so distinguished an example. Roofing a whole street. with glass, though jt might be advisable
in the case of a narrow, crowded thoroughfare, would be too expen- sive for general adoption where the
streets were of good width. Covering the sidewalks with glass roofs woulds be com- paratively inexpensive, and. the cost would be many times repaid, even in one genera- ation, by the protection afforded from rain, snow and ice, and in summer from the hot sun, by the awnings with which the roofs would be provided in sunny locations, It does not need ary special gift of prophee to believe that the city of the future will pay some attention to the comfort of pedes- trians; that in the near future people will read with wonder of the discomforts sub- mitted to by this generation without even a protest.

The Foreigner Paying tho Duty.
Since the imposition of the duty on corn- meal of 40c. per barrel, this artiele has been offered in New. York at. thirty! cents per barrel below ‘the lowest price at_ which it was held a week ago, and forty cents be- low the price of a fortnight ago. So the consumer in the Dominion, it appears; will have the duty paid for him by the producer in the United States, and his meal «may cost him no higher than before.—St. John Sun. ae
el EP Lied ~ien “9 Wortnt Noreinc.—The Montreal ‘‘ Post.” says: “A prominent horse dealer of this city told us the following curious story this morn- ing about the fancy his rats (as he calls them) have fora change of diet: He keeps a. horse and noticed lately that it showed symptoms of lameness in its fore legs. . He examined him carefully, but could not. discover the cause, On going to the stable one day he, before en- tering, looked in through*the window, when, to his astonishment, he counted .eleven rats stuck on the horse’s legs sacking his blood, He waited, expecting every moment that the ° horse would shake them off) but -instead of doing this he remained motionless and seemed + to enjoy the strange visitors. A rap on the window sent the rats scurrying off. On ex- amination of the horse’s legs he found 22 little holes, from eleven of which the blood, was flowing. The horse was removed to another stable, and soon recovered from the sores, but strange to say, his appetite has almost failed him; he refuses oats, andas a consequence has fallen off m flesh, so much so that he is almost useless.”
Tuer Halifax ‘‘Chronicle,” the leading Op- position organ in that city, attacks Mr. Cart- wright for his remarks on the subsidy for the Halifax fortnightly mail, and says he is ‘‘hesty and indiscreet’” and that his remarks will find no favor in Halifax.

The Death-rate of
Our country is getting to be fearfully al- arming, the average of life being lessened every year, without any reasonable cause, death resulting generally from the most in- significant origin. At this season of the year, especially, a cold is such a common thing that in ~he hurry of every day life we are apt to overlook the dangers attending it and often find, too late, that a Feveror Lung trouble has already set in. Thoa- sands lose their liyes in this way every win- ter, while had Bosshee’s German Syrup been taken; a cure would have resulted, and a *
