"y BIR SANDFORD FLEMING, the ocean in a sailing vessel, which was not only amusing but interesting, being the personal experiences of one well known to Kingstonians, The diary i notes told, among other inter- esting things of & storm, during which the young man thought the ship might go down, and * so he wrote 'what he thought might be his last letter home, and sealetl it in a battle, 'After he had reached Canada he heard that the letter had been picked up by a fisher. man and sent to his father. It wasa curious thing that it had drifted about 650 miles and reached its destination. The diary recalled the city of Mont- real in 1845, when the population was 60,000 and she could boast of only one railroad. A very fair start had aiveudy made on the magificent system of docks and wharves of , to- Lawretice and Ottawa rivers were also very interesting. 'lhe rivers were dot- ted' mith vessels, the freight of which | was largely lumber. After 4 brief description of Ottawa, Sir Sandiord Fleming gives an outline of the trip #from Ottawa to Kingston by way, of the Rideau and the dld conditions of the canal. The first impression of Sir Sandlord of Kingston was that it was a considerably little town with fine public buildings. He noted his im- Jrofion of the city hall as reminding im of a cathedral having large pil- lars and a dome. He touched on Co- impress him. very favorably at that time; Port Tope, which reminded him of the small towns in Scotland, and Toronto, which at that time was a city of less than 30,000 inhabitants, with good steamboat and stage con- nections. The streets were long and ilkpaved and lit with gas. The won- Herful growth of the city is shown by an incident told of 1845, when a lot on Yonge street was taken reluetant- ly in exchange for a load of hay. The ye is now assessed at $500,000, and uld not be bought for a great deal more. The young man Fleming met with reverses which almost induced him to marked that. the chancellor of Queen's might have made a good farmer, but Canada would have lost un great engi kneer. A vote of thanks was moved for the speaker's unique address by Rev. Prof. Ferguson, who recalled some of his remeinbranices of Canada in 1845, and ave Mr. Burpee well-merited praise. I'he resolution was seconded by Prol. W. L. Grant, : A ---------- To Attend Annual Meeting.

Declaring. that he ad heen given short change in a local store, « stranger from Parham, was very warm under. the collar, for a short time, on Saturday, but he found his money in a local hotel, where he had dropped it, vind went away contented. Itsappeacs that the stranger had been "indulging rather freely in strong drink. He went- to the second-hand store of Carl Goldman, on Brock stropt, and made a purchase which smounted xg Jaks cenls. He handed the prope "a one-dollar bill, and when Ran. his ight change he made a big Tass, and dared that he had given the dealer a ten-dollar bill, He was 'told that he had only 3 duced a one-dollar bill, but Ke could not be convinced, and a lively 'time ensued. The customer even went so far as to threaten to have Mr, Goldman ar rested, but the latter could not be frightened. He stood by his guns, and matters were at a standstill, until a bartender" at a lodal hotel, appeared on the scene, and produced the miss. ing tendollar bill. The man nad been in the hotel bar, and while there had dropped the" bill, from his wad. The barténder found the money afte: the man left, and hunted him up to hand it over to hith. The incident will, no doubt, be the means of making the stranger more careful in the fu. ture, perhapi not as regards how he spends his money, bat at any rate as to accusing a dealer of having given him short change. * A DEFECTIVE CHIMXEY Caused Lively Blaze on Sydenham .
