I0-ly e‘ihc fructoufolls @ascttc Marriage with a. Deceased Wife’s Sister. When the great majority of a p00- pic are strongly in favor of the enact- ment of a. desirable law or the repeal of some statute already existing, it is cer- tuin that, sooner or later, they will car- ry their point, no matter how influential the minority in opposition may individ- ually be; and as popular opinion i England demands the legalization 0 marriage with u. deceased wife’s sister, we may be sure that before long such marriages will be declared lawful. Al- most, the only opponents of the measure are the dignitaries of the Anglican Church, who hold out. with wonderful pcrtinacity, and but: for whom the wish- es of the people would long ago have been complied with. The fulminations of the Church, however, have no longer any terrors for those who feel that they are in the right, and as the only weapon left to right reverend prclates now-2b days is argument, with which they have been badly worsted in every encounter on this question, they will have to yield in the end, or the law will be passed in spite of them, and it. would be far less injurious to their prestige to make a concession than to suffer open and pal- pable defeat. How it came to pass that a deceased wife's sister was in- cluded in the list. of women whom a man is forbidden to marry we do not. know ; but almost. the solepargument in favor of the restriction (beyond the one that'it's right because the Church says so) is that. the knowledge on the part of a wife that her sister might become her successor would lend to jealousy and ill- will ; but there is very little force in it, for a woman might just as reasonably be jealous of her cousin or her aunt, or her husband's cousin, or of any other female relative whom heimight possibly marry and who was in the habit of visiting his house. The wife of every average man knows right well that if she be taken from him before he grows old he will almost surely marry again, and the chief anxiety of every dying woman is not as to who will succeed her in the affections of her husband, but as to who will succeed her as a mother to her children, if she have any; and how many mothers are there who would not, if the choice were given them on their death-beds, a thousand times rather trust their dearly loved little ones in thé hands of a sister who had known them all their lives, and already regarded regarded them with something approach‘ ing maternal affection, than in those of The legalization of marriage with a deceased wife’s sister is a measure for which the poor would be especially grateful ; for while the rich man can have a governess to take care of the morals and education ofhis moth- erlc=s children, and a female companion for the governess to protect her reputa- tion, the poor man cannot afford to pay for either, and if, as is frequently the case, the care of his little ones fall upon a sister of their dead mother's, it. is but right. that, after the lapse of a decent interval, he should he at liberty to make her his wife, provided she be willing to marry him. All attempts to oppose the measure on scriptural grounds have failed; not only the men but the wo- men of England are ciamorous for it; Lord Iloughton'a bill to legalize such marriages has a large majority in the House of Commons; and we expect ere " is to be expunged from the category of wo- men whom a man in England may not marry. Trent Valley Cant . About the time the Guztlle is being got ready to go to press, our village will . mm i tels, and the steamer Cobocmik, on “l which they are to depart, and which ought to have reached Fcneloo Falls last night, is repbrtcd to be tangled up in a drive of lOgs somewhere in Balsam River. A Paper Pulp Factory. There is a possibility-indeed, we may say a probabilityâ€"that: a manufactory of paper makers’ pulp will before very long be established in this village by Messrs. Lossing iv. Secord, of St. Catha- riues, who are in search of a locality where the necessary raw materials and the power to utilize it can both be ob tained, and they will have to go a good way before they will find a place that will suit them better than Fcuclon Falls. Having heard of Kinmount, Mr. Loss- ing went last Week to see it, and while the train was at the station here some person who knew 'his errand advised him to interview Mr. John D. Smith, who happened to be on the platform, and the result was that Mr; Lossing, on his return from Kinmount next day, saw Mr. Smith again, took a look at the falls, obtained all the information it was possible to procure in the very brief time at. his disposal, and promised, that he would write in a few days. To run the factory about 300: hor's'c' power would be required, which could be sparcdvhcrc and hardly missed, and though poplzir, the best material for pulp," is not very abundant, at considerable qti'antity could be obtained, and of spruce and balsam, which are used where poplar cannot; be procured, there is an almost limitless supply. Pqu making and paper mak- ing are two separate and distinct. indus- tries, the one being to the other what tanning is to bootmakinv. Pulp fac- tories can be successfully run wherever sufficient water power and plenty of the right: kind of wood can be got, and the material when prepared is packed in bar- rels and shipped to the different paper makers all over the country. As Fenc- lou Falls presents all the requisites, in- cluding excellent facilities for shipment, we look hopefully forward to the estab- lishment, here of this new and hitherto unexpected industry ; and as Mr. Loss- ing was evidently very favourably Im- pressed with what. he saw, and can soon be satisfied of the existence in the V201“- ity of plenty of raw material, the only obstacle, as far as the locality is con- cerned, will arise from a. difference of opinion between the firm of which he is a member and Mr. Smith as to the rent- al of the necessary power, and that mu- tually satisfactory terms may be agreed upon will be the earnest wish of all. As the pulp factory would employ about forty hands, a great many of whom would no doubt be married men with families, the circulation of‘ the wages paid to them would be a great help" to the village, and the farmers of the sur- l possible of tb': leadid‘g men of the corin- l which, after thrcdtening a‘ visitation u may , men and and consisted of )Iezu‘rs.

First, the different Lodges formed in procession as soon as possible after their arrival and marched through the principal streets, with banners flying, to the sound of music, which on this occasion was furnished not only by the traditional fifcs and drums but by the Bobcaygeou and Fenelon Falls brass hands, after which they dispersed for -diuncr, and, this having been disposed of without loss of time, marched to the grove be- hind the Presbyterian church, where they were addressed by the Rev.

Mr. Lochead, of the Presbyterian church, Fenclon Falls, Mr. Thomas Lockhnrt, Secretary of Lodge 996, and, lastly, by the Rev.

He near- ly always raises good Wheat, and if, this year, he has much like the sample shown us he is a lucky man.

Two handwmc evergreen arches, deco- rated with flu‘frs and surmounted by the inscription “ chfwme Brethren,” were erected on the main street, and as many of the telegraph and vcraudah posts and all the refreshment booths were covered with boughs, Fchelon Falls had an ex- ceedingly rural appearance. Notwith- standing the crowd in town; we fear rounding country would also receive a that some of our villagers who went in- shoreâ€"and no small share, eitherâ€"0f to the restaurant and temperance saloon the benefit, as they would find purchas ers at the factory for two or three kinds of timber which are now of scarcely any value. We hope to be able to report next week that; negotiations with reference to the water power are in progress between Messrs. Lossing & Secord and Mr. Smith, and that the manufacture of paper makers’ pulp is likely to be the first. of the new indus- tries for which the people of Fenclon Falls have so long sighed in vain. Pure Water Wanted. The'long felt. want of pure drinking water on the Rokcby side of the river at Boheaygbon is now supplied by a fountain, the water for which is brought from a spring on high ground say half a. mile distant. We do not know cx- actlywhat it cost, but it was under $200, of which 350 was voted by the village council, $70 by the Verulam council, who justly considered that it would be of great benefit to the farmers, and the rest was raised by private sub- scriptions. Precisely the same want of good drinking water is felt in the busi- ness part of Fcnelon Falls, and as there is a splendid never failing spring at the head of the main street, less than halfa mile from the Mansion House, some of, our villagers prooosc that the example ‘ a" of Bobcaygcou be followed and a foun- tain established, which could be done at small cost, as there is a good descent all the way and the soil is ol‘a. kind that would not be difficult. to dig. The vast majority of people of course know the vital importance of pure water for drink- ing and culinary purposes, but a few appear to think that. any that is not ab- solutely disgusting is good enough, es- ially for cooking. though they are liable to drink death at any moment. There would be no trouble at all about getting the fountain but for the fact “mt the i‘ "‘ be local, (though and as even '»:g raised to of the against t sup spring ’ such 'iornc reely at. it ry cf- ‘ has ‘ ofi inst... there were forty-nine candidates, _.{.of whom twenty~thrce were successful. g, , Mr. Reg I i I i Z t i business must have lost. money; for there were no less than eighteen or twenty places where refreshments, either solid or fluid, could be obtained, and some of them must have failed to pay expenses. The two hotels of course did a big day’s business, and the Methodist and Epis- copal dining rooms were liberally patron- ized. The former took $72, out of which $50 was profit; the latter’s rc- oeipts were a little over 860, but how much was cleared we do not know. Reverting to the Original Type. We hardly ever look at ducks without being impressed by the conviction that the first: pair created or evolved from molecules were quadrupcds, and thatâ€" perhaps as a punishment for eating for- bidden frogsâ€"two of their four legs were cut oil and they and their descend- ”:mts were left the clumsy, waddling, un- evenly balanced creatures we see in the present day. This conviction was much strengthened on Monday last, when we rccciveda visit from Mr. John Kerr, Jr., formerly of Fenclon but now of Mauilla, who told us that. ho was the fortunato'posscesor ofa duck, five weeks old, which has reverted to what We sus« pool. to be the original type, inasmuch as it has two distinct pairs of legs, the hind pair resembling in every respect those in front, but somewhat smaller, , d of no use except to stir up astonish- ment and dust with. as the perfectly formed webbed feet drag on the ground as the duckling marches about on the other pair. Some persons would have‘ destroyed such a bird as soon as hatch- ed as a monstrosity, but Mr. Kerr let itlivc and we strongly advised him to . “k9 Twain} can °r "’ “.cven as .3 will see the one taken and the other left. curmsrty it is worth preserving, and ifl it attains its full growth, of which there appears no present doubt, many a scien- tific gout, and. notably Professor Dar- win, would be very glad to get it. Mr. Kerr also stated that. he had heard there was a gosling with four wings in Manil- la; but as he had not seen it we do ably invented by some person jealous of Mr. Kerr's duck, of the genuineness of the price will probably not. be very high. r. Buying Horses for the American Market. ' (From the Canadian l’osl.) Mr. Henry Ellsworth was in town on Mondu‘y buying horscis for shipment to l American markets for‘strcct car purpos- cs. paid a fair price. ally known by the farmers that: a buyer was to he in towp liut'vtn'y few were of- fered. Mr. lullsworth,however, intends to be here again at the Osborne House in about ten days, and due notice will be given through the papers of thc'town. He is willing to pay n'good price for a good horsc,and a horse not to his liking will not be purchased atany price. The visit of Mr. Ellsworth must have c'on- viuccd the farmers who offered horses for sale that it. pays to raise a' good breed of horses. He, only bought two, for which be As it was not gener- but quite the contrary. It. was good, sound,scrvicable horses that: he wanted, and forsuch he was willing to pay a good price. That. it pays to raise a good stock of horses is now and has been for some time a settled fact in the minds of the leading farmers of' the country. With good care a horse is able to go to work at: three years of age, and from that time until he is eight he IS able to work every day. The Ameri- can horse buyer then comes along and enquires for horses from five to eleven and twelve years of age. This farm horse is now at just the rcquiredugc, and being well developed and sound $100 or more is paid for him, whereas had the horse been of poor stock at 8 years of age he would have been unsale- ilblc, for it is an admitted fact among: all horsemen that as a rule a well-bred horse is as good in every particular with equal treatment at twelve or fifteen. as a common horse is at seven or eight years of age. In the case of the well- hred horse the owner got five years of work out of him and then sold him for as much as the common animal would bring: at three or four years of age; and with a little foresight a colt can be rais- ed each year from a well bred, more so that each year after a start has been made the farmer as the case may be can dispose of a 8300 or 8100 team, for who ever knew the time when choice horses were not in'dcmnnd ? Those readers of 3 the Post who do not see the matter in this light. will do well to be. around with their common pugs when Mr. Ellsworth anain comes to town, which will be in the course of two weeks.

Heavy masses of rainâ€"cloud hid frotn view the mountains which sep- ,arnte Fribourg from Montrcux, but. their summits were from time to time lit. up by vivid flashes of lightning, and a heavy thunderstorm scented to be. rag- ing in the valleys of the Avauts and the Aliaz. No rain via: falling near the lake, and the storm still appeared far "off, when a tremendous pool of thunder shook the houses .of Clurcns and ’I‘avcl to their foundatic‘ns. At. the same in- stant a‘ magnificcuf cherry-tree near the cemetery, measuring a metre ,in circum- ference, was struck by lightning. Some people who were working in ,a vineyard hard by saw the electric fluid play a- bout a little girl who had been gather- ingréhcrrics and; was already 30 paces from the tree. She was literally folded in a sheet of fire. The vine dressers fled in terror from the spot. In the cemetery six persons, separated into three groups, none" of then? within 250 paces of the cherry-tree, were envelome in a luminous cloud. They felt as if they were being struck in the face with hailstoncs or fine gawk-and when they touclied'éhdh other sparks of electricity pas-ed from their finger-ends. At the some time a column of fire was seen to descend in the direction of Chatelnrd, and it is avcrrctl’tl‘iht the electric fluid could then be distinctly heard as it ran from point to point of the iron railing, of a vault in the cemetery. The strangest part of the story is that. neither the little . girl, the people in the cemetery, nor the vineâ€"dressers appear to have been hurt; the only inconvenience complained of being an unpleasant: sensation in the joints, as if they had been violently twisted, o‘scnsa‘tion that was felt. with more or less acutcn‘css for a few hours qmd "mm, m m, cmnnom mm, with. after. _.- L -__.â€"â€"...>..-.,...
