MEssss. EDrroEs The strides of improve

shall have elapsed it may reach Middle River.

Great pipes are being laid from Herring

furnishes the above towns with suitable light.
We think the line is not overdrawn, when
stated that the Back River Turnpike is one of
the best thoroughfares in the State. 1t is

length, and nearly as level as u floor.
The peach crop here is light, although.
there are some pretty samples being shipped
daily to the Baltimore and Philadelphia
markets. Apples and pears are plentiful and
the prices low. Crabs are numerous and fish
scarce. Seine -haulers are getting ready to
fish Occasionally shark floats into our
rivers, then there is general terror. Every
body is afraid of these maneaters, even the
old ''tars.

MONTREAL, September 3, 1895.

its magnificent situation, its historic riches,
commercial activity, the cosmopolitan charm
of its divisions of languages and population.
Few cities surpass it in situation. In front,

interest one usually visits is Mount Royal,
spoken of as ''The Mountain Of Montreal.

of seven hundred and fifty feet, that the city

f the reader will take the trouble

f the reader will take the trouble
to make few figures for himself he
will find that under the conditions
named the differences between the
nominal sentences and the time to
be actually served will be as fol-
lows:
Under five years sentence the
prisoner will serve about four
years and three months; under ten
years sentence, about eight years;
fifteen years sentence, about eleven
years and quarter; twenty years
sentence, about fourteen years and
half; twenty-five years sentence,
seventeen years and quarter, and
so on.
OF course eleven, fourteen and
seventeen years are long terms to
serve, but they are quite different
thing from fifteen, twenty and
twenty-five years. Moreover, the
longer the prisoner remains in con-
6nement the faster his commute
ton eats up his sentence, point
being finally reached where his
good conduct allowance amounts to
more than three hundred and sixty
five days in year.

liabilities are that four companies
of bluejackets and one Of marines
will come ashore at 9 o'clock
Tuesday morning for that
purpose. They will be in charge
of Lieutenant Commander Inger-

place on the old baseball grounds,
though that part has not yet been
decided. Captain Cochrane will
drill the marines.
The Philadelphia's battalion will
come ashore on every week for drill.
Application for leave was made
through Minister Willis. A general
order has been issued from

GOOD TIME COUNTS.
FIGURES OF RARE INTEREST ON
PRISON CONTINUATION.
The Lava Table OF Data-A Point
Where the Rebate is More Than
900 Days to the Year.

The following very timely and
extremely interesting article was
prepared by most capable writer
fully familiar with the law. In
fact he is fiend on statistics and
the only man on the Islands who
would be expected to furnish a
readable STORY" on the subject.
To consider intelligently and
Judge correctly concerning the
sentences OF imprisonment imposed
upon the leaders i'll the recent in
surrection it is needful to keep in
mind the provisions of the law
relative to combinations for good
conduct. These provisions which
are extremely, if not unprecedent-
eddy liberal, are probably unknown
to nine out of every ten persons in
this community, and yet, unless
they are fully understood and al
lowed for, it is impossible for any
one to know just what the SEN
fences really amount to practically.
The law i'll question, which is
known of Chapter TX of the SEES
sion Laws of 1888 provides as
follows:
"Section I. Every prisoner con-
fined in any prison or jail of the
Kingdom, under sentence of hard
labor imposed by any Court of the
Kingdom, may. for continued good
behavior or meritorious conduct
while serving out sentence, be al
lowed the following deductions for
each three months of his term, that
is to say: First three months,
seven days. Second three months,
eight days. Third three months,
nine days. Fourth three months,
ten days, and so on at the same in
creasing rate of one day additional
for each succeeding three months.
ANY prisoner may, for miscon-
duct forfeit the whole or any part
of the Communication he has received,
and for subsequent good conduct or
other sufficient reason may have
the whole or any part of the forfeit
ed communication restored to him,
the whole power Of granting with
holding, FORGETTING and restoring Of
the Communication being in the dis
cretion of the Board of Prison IN
spectors. The following table
shows the practical working of this
law in cases where by continuous
good conduct the prisoners receive
the entire benefit contemplated.
