Very general regret is felt at his elaving Haileybury and} this was expressed at last night's| function, together with the. very best wishes for his success in the future. The goodwill of the congrega- tion was feelingly expressed by the two principal speakers of the evening, Jos. A. Legris, K.C, who spoke in French, and W. J. Dob- bins, on behalf of the English- speaking members of the church. The latter also presented Father Renaud with a well-filled purse as atoken of the eseteem in which he has been held. A musical program, in which Mrs. P. M. Fleming, E. Fortin and Chas. Fassel were among those taking part, made the even- inga pleasant one for all present and one that will long be remem- bered by the guest of honor, who expressed the pleasure he had experienced during his ministry in Haileybury and the co-opera- tion he had received from all members of the church.

'HUDSON BAY POST AT BEAR ISLAND WILL BE REBUILT THIS WINTER The Hudson Bay Post at Bear Island, destroyed by fire a few weeks ago, will be rebuilt this winter, according to reports from Temagami. The manager of the famous company paid a visit to the island a short time ago and arranged for the rebuilding of the store and dwelling on the same site, where it has stood for many years and where there is a con- siderable trade carried on. The warehouse of the company was saved from the flames when the store building was destroyed, and the manager there, Sherman Thorpe, lost the contents of his living rooms which were in the upper storey. Some difficulty was experienced in supplying the 100 or more inhabitants on the island, ice was safe for travel. Cobalt Council _- | Still Short Of Two Members | { Only Five Qualify Before Time!
