THE TREATY AnA1n

FREDERICTON, N. B., May 19.-The Lieut..
Governor, in a speech proroguing the legisla.
ture to-day, said the result Of the deliberations
of the Joint High Commission at Washington.
so far as our Dominion provincial interests are
involved, is calculated to excite alarm and dis
satisfaction, but we cannot for moment sup
pose that the Dominion Parliament will give
its consent to those parts of the treaty which
dispose of our Invaluable fishery rights for the
veriest mockery of an equivalent, when we
should have received in return therefor at least
the free admission to the United States mar
kets OF our ships, coal and lumber.

To All Whom It May Concern.

The following We clip from the TaHy
Spirit, Chambersburg, which we think very
applicable to tbs IS prit,' as many E,ave not
paid US a cent, since we took charge of the
".Spirit" in January, 1870:
IA considerable number of our subscribers
are in arrears since 1865. \ few have not
paid US cent since we took charge of the pa.
per ia July. 1867. Mos, of these subscribers
are a6uUdautly able to pay FOR their PIPER
We have come 10 the conclusion that it is not
our duty to furnish it To such persons tratui,
tOHsly. We have determined, therefore. that
On the first day "i July next, we will cut of
from our subscription list the naIses of all
who arc In arrears since 1868, aud will begin
legal proceedings to collect the amounts then
remaining unpaid. No matter how reSpccta-
BILE gsnrlemeC may be, nor how wealthy, IL
they allow us to 20 to the expense Of furmiSh>
ing them the paper, year after year, without
paying for II, hcy gree rs no Suppori, aud we
will be far better off with their uamcS stricken
from our list. At any rate, We Intend to try
It. Let all Delinquent Subscribers who have
not paid for the Spirit since 1868, take notice
that after the FIRST of July next, the paper
Will not be sent 20 them, unless payment Is
made in the meantime. We give thi- f,k,sHg
"0'tce, and intend to keep il standing. 50 that
no one will have reason 20 complain that he
has not been warned
Thanks 10 our many subscribers who ,iD
pay for their paper, the SPIRIT Is established
on hrm footing Il Is now sustained by the
democracy as it has Cever been sustained be-
FORE. We strive to make it acceptable TO our
readers IN every way. aud irun every quarter
comes the gratifying ASSURANCES that our 81
