More are being ruined under the Scotc Act than ander License. Men have been sent home to their wives in a dangerous state of intoxication. Many homes have been ruined. Property has depreciated in value, citizens have been disturbed and the night made hideous. Was this the condi- tion of affairs the electors expected when they voted for the Scott Act? Again I must quote from the Guardian :—

‘‘Some time ago a man gave up a respect- able calling in the country and came to the city to conduct a grocery store and liquor

The following extract is copied from THE ExaMINnek of September 19, 1890 :

“It is pleasing to note that the Stipendiary ! is after the men who keep the ‘‘places” that have sprung up near Charlottetown. One of these men was convicted yesterday. The fact that a number of the witnesses in the case were young women of bad character, will, it is hoped, open the eyes of parents to the kind of nets that are spread in the way of their sons, and move them to take an int»rest in the matter.

The death has been announced of the father

of Leon Gambetta, at the age of 80 years, at

his home near Nice. For some time he had

and the severe attack had recently in Cahors

sufficiently, however, to journey to Nice about

a month ago, and resumed the humble eccupa-

tion which he hascarried on since his son’s

Augustine Cove Notes.

One day last week the hull of a vessel was seen Grifting westward in a large field of ice. She was last seen on the evening of the 18th. The wind hauling to the north- west, she was doubiless driven down the Straits again.

Mr. D. Cameron, the wielder of the s'iedge hammer, is still ever ready to turn that **emblem of good luck” and place it in position with neatness and despatch.

©. C. Thomas has given up sea-faring and has opened out in the mercantile busi- ness in oppostion to parties who have been supplying the wants of the vicinity in the line of general merchandise.

The rattle of the shot-gun may be heard daily, as the people, fearing the scarcity of fodder, are disposing of their surplus stock.

Miss Bessie Stevenson, late of South Rustico, and now at the Landsdowne Hotel, has secured a goodly number of the young people of this district to whom she is giving instructions in instrumental music. As she has proved herself very efficient in this art, we hope the people will appre- ciate her efforts.

The school having become badly in need of repairs, the trustees took advantage of the autumn vacation to have it repaired. Mr. A Large’s tender was accepted, and he has just completed the contract to the sat- isfaction of ail concerned.

Mr. John Dobson, formerly of Tryon, but now of Cape Traverse, has had a snug building erected on the beach opposite the farm of Mrs. James McRae, in which he intends carrying on the lobster packing business during the summer of 1891.

The Cove ice being in fine condition for racing purposes, the young men will doubt- less be testing the speed of their ‘“* flyers” during the Christmas holidays.

G. H. D. Gosaip has a long article in a recent Review entitled, ** Protecticn and Free Trade in Australia,” in which he de- monstrates very much to his owa satisfac- tion, both that the Protectionist Colony of Victoria is very much ahead of the Free Trade Colony cf New South Wales in all that pertains to national progress, and thet it owes its advantage to the benefits of Protection, which has been vigorously en- forced for the past twelve years. The statistics cited g» to show that agriculture and viticulture are increasing more rapidly in Victoria than in the sister colony ; that the growth of population is greater, not- withstanding the fact that New South Wales has adopted the policy of State assisted immigration ; and that inthe rate of railroad extension, and indeed in every other department of progress, Victoria with its protective policy easily takes the lead. The writer urges that in the case of these two colonies protection and free trade have now been tested side by side as an economic experiment for many years, and his array of facts make quite a strong case in favor of protection.

The Ties.

There are marriage ties, and friendly ties, And the ties which business makes; There are solemn ties, and merry ties, And the ties in betting stakes; There are builders’ ties, and railroad ties, Which an acter can recall, But the HOLIDAY Ties, which we adver- tize, Are the pretties* ties of all.
