isaac An Enquiry.

Sir,—It is reported that a dissolute per- son from Nova Sevtia was lately sentenced to Queen’s County Jail for thirty days for Vagrancy, and that after spending some vight or nine days there, was released by an order from the Stipendiary Magistrate. If this report is true, two very important questions arise—the one affecting the citi- zens of Charlottetown, the other aflecting the privileges of the Governor-General and the Executive authority of Canada.

The prisoner, one Smith, was cither legally arrested and committed for vag- rancy or he was not. It is too much to as- sume that the -Magistrate convicted John Smith without satisfactory evidence of « his

guilt. This would be sutlicient to justify Mr. FitzGerald in committing Smith to jail.

Then the man being guilty, and Mr. Fitzgerald having legally committed him to jail, his duty ended, and-he had no more power than the man in the moon to tharge him, and Sheriff Curtis and his jail- er, when they obeyed the order, were as much in the wroug as Mr. FitzGerald him-

All the others were picked up by the the German barque Trabant and transferred to the steamer York City, from Baltimore for London, which was attracted tothe spot by the flames.

The Montreal had a crew of 80 men, and there were The spent one night aboard the German Tradant. All were then transferred to the York City, which stayed by through the night, and vainly searched for the missing boat. Capt. Land, of the Montreal, is san, guine that the people inthe missing boat were saved, as the accident occurred in the track of steamers bound east and west. The passengers and crew lost everything.

HOT WATER.

THIS 18 ‘FTEHEE: DAISY.

HE Cheapest and Best Hot Water Boiler in the market. Only one year since it was patented, and one hundred (100) already in use, giving perfect satisfaction, It cau't help it, because the principle upon which it is constructed is as nearly perfect as possible.

Since taking up this branch of business, we have completed several very important contracts, notably our new Dominion Building here, and also the one at Summerside, as well as a

number of private residences. As it is inconvenient to publish many Testimonials in a newspaper advertisement, we have selected two, which we feel will convince our friends that we are the right parties to do this kind of work.

Ina very short time we will again be visited by Jack Frost, and those who contemplate making their homes comfortable, with less labor and less cost than by any other means, would do well to send for us to give them estimates at once.

THSTIMONITIALS. MESSRS. McKINNON & McLEAN,—

GENTLEMEN, —With reference to the Heating Apparatus put into my house by you last fall, I would respectfully state that it has given very great satisfaction.

My house, as you are aware, stands in an isolated and exposed situation, yet during the coldest weather the heat could be regulated to any desirable temperature My experi- ence leads me to believe that the hot water system of heating, as put in by you, is superior to all other forms of heating I have seen, in its saving of fuel and labor, simplicity of working, cleanliness, and safety from fire, and I hereby recommend it as being the most healthful, comfortable, safe and economical in use. I further wish to express my satisfaction with the manner in which the work was done by you. Yours truly,
