She was in the service of the XY Company until its amalgamation with the North West Company in 1804. During the War of 1812-14, she was used by the Canadian Gov. ernment as a transport. In the summer of 1814 she was the sole remaining vessel on Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. In August, she was anchored in the Nottawasagw River under thie protection of a block house. An American squaa- ron, the 'Niagara,' 'Tigres,' and 'Scorpion,' with 24 pieces of cannon and 500 men attacked the block house which was defended by twen- ty men with three guns. Both the block house and the 'Nancy' were blown up." . = The following are the executives of the various forms in co-ordina- tion with the Students' Council, the list of nominees at the last being those on whom the students will Yate to form the Students' Execu- tive: Academic Form b5A---president, Hugh Gil- christ; vice president--Margaret Anderson; See--Gordon Maxwell; treasurer--Mary Mason. .

At tne graveside Mrs, Morphy's casket was committed to earth by the Canon whose readin of "I am the resur. rection and the life," again assert- ed the Christien's invincible hope of that life to which all mortal ex periences are but the shadows of a fitful dream.

FURTHER DAMAGE CAUSED BY RAIN Incessant Downpour Threat- ens Regions Flooded Two Weeks Ago Ouebec, Nov. 19, ---- Incessant rains throughout the province for the past two days will cause further damage in the same regions which were affected by - the disastrous floods 10 days or two weeks ago, according to informa- tion received by I. Boulanger, Deputy Minister of Roads, this week. Reports are starting to come in, but to date nothing can be learned as :0 whether any actual damage has been caused. Tt is stated that the same dis- tricts which were victims of floods re- "ently, particularly the Eastern Town- ships, are likely to be again affected. Instructions have been issued to the lepartment engineers, Mr. Boulanger tated, to keep the roads open at all :osts, and to report promptly any damage. WAGE AGREEMENT : Quebec.--After a lengthy discussion, hoth empolyers and employees in the printing and allied trades in Quebec ber to Lead Group in On- tario -- In Outlining Poli- cies New Leader Declares Alliance With Liberals Un- thirkable Toronto, Nov. 19--The mantle of leadership of the Progressive group in the Ontario Housé, of which Mr. Justice Raney had perforce to divest himself upon his recent appointment to the hench was placed yesterday upon the shoulders of J. G. Leth- bridge, who since 1919 has repres- ented the constitnency of West Mid- dlesex. The chnice of Mr. Leth- bridge as leader was made at a con- ference of the Progressive members of the Legislature and the members of the Ontdrio Progressive execu- tive. held in the Walker House. The choice of Mr. Lethbridge as leader is principally significant as indicating the determination of the Progressive group in the Ontario House to maintain their identity and not become merged with the Liber- als. Any suggestion of an alliance, Mr. Lethbridge said at the close of vesterday's meeting, was quite un- inent one, since Hon. Mr. Raney's appointment to the bench had been widely interpreted as an endeavor by the Federal Liberals to elimin- ate the Progressives as a factor in Ontario politics. Deprived of his leadership, it was hoped that they would revert to the Liberal fold. Little Change in Policies reachied an agreement as to the mini- mum wages which are to be paid to!

On the temperance issue he declared that he had been a life-long advo- cate of prohibition of the sale of al- coholic liquors for beverage pur- poses. So far as the Government control law was concerned, he re- garded it as being "on trial," and declared that he was prepared to give it a fair opportunity to justify Itself. He was afraid, however, from present indications, that it was [h going to hg a failure and that fit would not fulfil the promises which had been made on its behalf. In this connection Mr. Lethbridge instanced the rerent Port Burwell case as one whieh had been rather deplorable. The new leader expressed himself as in favor of an educational policy which would bring secondary educa- tion within convenient reach of the evildren in agricultural communi- ties. On the matter of Hydro he de- clared that he was strongly in sup- pert of the policy of public owner- shin of the province's power, and practicaliv favored the extencion of HvAro service on practical terms to rural communities as rapidly as pos. sible.
