The President's Condition. President Garfield still lies in a very critical condition. and his case is now more complicated than ever. For some days past there has been a swelling of the purotid gland, which threatens seri- ous consequences, and now an iliac ab- scess, affecting the flank and lower part of the bowels, has formed. The phy- _The Staff of Life. It isn fact difficult to account for, but. an undeniable fact nevertheless, that ol'all the multitudinous individuals who are engaged in supplying the needs of their fellow creatures those who supply the first and principal oneâ€"viz, the need of breadâ€"seem to be by universal con- sent the foremost objects of adverse criticism and unjust suspicion. The butcher may impose old bull or aged ram upon his patrons, or persistently slaughter animals containing a preter- natural proportion of bone, or may re- mark that “critters have riz," and that consequently meat has advanced one cent a pound. and but little will be said about it; but let the unfortunate baker be suspected of putting the least bit. too much of anything that. isn't flour into his bread, or of giving light. weight, (which is equivalent. to the butcher's excess of bone.) or, above all, of ad- vancing the price, no matter upon how reas-nable a pretext, and woe betide him! Protestations against the enor- mities of bakers are amongst our earliest (Canadian) recollections; but. we con- demn no one upon the bare assertions of interested uccusers; and. after having converted many a barrel of flour into loaves of bread (upon paper.) we have arrived at the conclusion that any baker who has been guilty of makings for- tune must have etuployed several men, or worked like aslave himself and lived on oven-sweepings. during the process. Our sympathies are therefore with the bakers. and we have uniformly declined all invitations to “pitch into " them; firstly. because we don't believe that, except in very rare cases, they make an unreasonable profit, and, secondly, be- cause we have never yet been asked to find fault with the prices charged by other shop keepers for their wares. We have made the above remarks in Consequence of Messrs. Molfattdz Mc- Farland having just informed us that by the advance in flour they are com- pelled to raise the price of bread two cents per loaf, and we wish to deprecate in advance the unthinking indignation this announcement is almost sure to 00- casion. Flour went. up three weeks ago, bread is following it all over the coun- try. and our village bakers say that they cannot sell at the old prices without so- tually losing money, and that rather than do so they will quit that branch of their business. Believing that they are telling the truth.â€"or as near to it as can be expected from bakers,â€"we think their determination is a very reasonable one. though it will probably fail to sat- isfy those who appear to be of the opin- ion that whenever bread rises in price it is solely in consequence of the baker's inherent and unappeaaable yearning: for exorbitant profits.

(From our Correspondent.) I am now fully of opinion that it is quite a mistake to assert that. the coun- try around here is not able to grow good wheat. It is certain that many of our farmers have as fine samples as can be shown in the front townships. and they are acknowledged to be so by those who for years farmed in Mariposn, but who now live here. Our hay crop is short, but oats and barley generally are fair. Since I last saw any correspondence from here in your paper, two more fine iron mines have been found in this im- way branch from the Victoria Railway, the Iron Company. has been obliged to suspend its operations at the Victoria mines, as it appears it. is not. safe to run trucks over it. loaded with ore. Patient- ly, however, we await the development of events, which unquestionably must. result. in some enterprise among the iron kings of this continent. Many of our settlers are finding a market for the spare lumber on their lots. Messrs. MoArthur & Thomson, of Fenelon Falls, and Messrs. Trounce dt 00., of Port Perry, are purchasing quite a quantity of materials, and sure it is they will find employment for many during the coming winter, which will be much appreciated by the inhabitants of the townships along the Monck Road east of Kiumount to Cardifi'. As our harvest is now nearly over, I hope soon to be able to give you some idea of what. our miller thinks of this year's grain brought to our mill; also I hope to be able to state that progress and contentment are gradually increas- ing in these free grant districts, which so many outsiders are apt to disparage. â€"-â€".._.___"â€"__â€"_. _ DIVISION Conanâ€"Wednesday next will be Division Court Day in Fenelon Falls, of which all interested will do well to take notice and govern them- selves accordingly. N EW Boomâ€"We have received from Warwick dz. Son, publishers, Toronto. a neat little volume entitled “ Latest Se- lections for Autograph Albums.” Its contents are from the works of poets of the past and present, and, being very brief, are admirably adapted to the pur- pose for which they are intended. BIBLE CHRISTIANS.â€"Four car loads of Bible Christians came from Lindsay to the Falls on an excursion last Thurs- day, and of course admired our village and its surroundings. They were a well dressed respectable looking crowd. and among them were a few old ao- quaintances whom we were glad to see. ,’ OUa VOLUNTEER8.â€"Tlle 45th Bat- ,talion of Volunteers will go into camp [at Picton on the 6th of September. Captain Kennedy’s company, (No. 2) which forms part. of the battalion, is now drilling every Monday and Friday, and hopes to merit a repetition of the commendatious bestowed upon it in the past. Tun New MILLâ€"The roof is being put on Mr. R. C. Smith's new grist mill. and in the centre is a something which is called a “ cupola "--but which we prefer to designate a protuberanceâ€" thnt puzzles spectators until its use is explained. It. is about 18 feet long. 12 feet wide and ten feet high. and is in- tended to afford room for the elevator, which otherwise could not raise grain to the top story of the mill. 8. S.

ExcunsION.â€"The first annual excursion in aid of the Fouclou Falls Mechanics' Institute is advertised for Wednesday next, and we hope with “-A Member." whose communication is to be found in another column, that it. will be liberally patronized, an funds are needed to keep the Institute going, and it. ought to be sustained at all costs.

X GOOD SPORT.â€"-â€"Fishing has been very our in the vicinity of Fenelon Falls for he past. year or two, yet even now those who know just where to go and choose the right kind of a .day occasionally have good sport. Last Saturday-morn- ing being favourable, Mr. E. Fitzgerald went out about 6 o'clock in his canoe with a cousin who is visiting him. and they returned before “ train time." 8:45 with no less than eight. maskinongc. the smallest of which weighed over three pounds and the largest about ten. After that, Smifl' needn't brag quite so much about the fishing around Bobcaygeon. YUM, YUM lâ€"Wa forgot to mention in last week's issue that when in Lind- say the previous Monday Mr. Corneil kindly presented us with a good-sized pail full of honey for which he (and his bees) will please accept our thanks Mr. Cornell has quite a large apiary. from which he derives no inconsider- able revenue. beekeeping being a very profitable business, especially when the honey produced is as good as that which we brought from Lindsay. It was c- qual in appearance to any we ever saw. delicious to the palate and genuine in ove.y respect. We were sorry to learn that last winter was an unusually hard one on bees, and that. Mr Cornell, not. withstanding his experience and care, lost at considerable number of his hives. Snmous ACOIDENT.-â€"On Tuesday last three little boys. sons of M r. Jusepli Littleton, ofthis village. went to visit. their uncle, who lives a couple of miles out. on the Lindsay road. On their way home they saw some horses in M r. Wm.Jordan's pasture, and either climb- ed the fence or went through the gate to approach the animals. The young- est of the boys. aged about 6 years. then took off his cap and held it out to It colt, which walked up, put its nose to the cap. and, suddenly wheeling. kicked the child ‘on the forehead. fracturing his skull and inflicting a flesh wound nearly three inches in length. The poor little. fellow was carried home and placer] un- der the care of Dr. Wilson, who tells us that his patient is doing well so far. but that it is yet. too soon after the accident to speak hopefully, as the injuries are of a very serious nature. An Awful Death. NEW HAVEN, Aug 20,â€"Sevcnty thou- sand cartridge percussion crps exploded at. the Whitney armoury yesterday, and thousands of pieces of metal stuck into Maurice Reilly's flesh half to three- quarters of an inch. Many are buried in his eyes. There is no spot. over two inches square on the front of Reilly's person that. did not show where the shells penetrated. His clothing was out to pieces, his teeth knocked out and one arm frightfully mangled. His bench was broken, and one of the pieces aeri- ously hurt. Reilly. The side of the building was shattered and the windows broken. None of Reilly’s companions were injured. He died last night. Frozen Meats. An Australian correspondent writes to the London Times from Sydney :-â€"â€" “ The business of preparing frozen meat. for shipment to England is progressing steadily. At. the town of Orange. two hundred miles from Sydney, and 3000 feet above the level of the sea, and in the heart of a rich pastoral country. an energetic company has lately established a slaughterhouse and freezing cham- bers. The experiments hitherto con- ducted havo turned out satisfactorily. and the company is enlarging its prem- ises and ordering fresh machinery. so as to be in a position to freeze annually half a million sheep or fifty thousand bollocks. Arrangements have been al- ready made for an early shipment by one of the Orient steamers." A ’Cnta King. King Theebnw, oi But-mall, lately dim covered a plot against his life. One of his royal consort! some weeks ago sent him what appeared to be dainty work" in confectionery, and an accompanying message that she had made the sweet articles expressly for him with her own royal hands. The afi'ectinnato message aroused the king's suspicions that. as she had made the sweet articles with her own hands, she might have put. into it. something not conducive to his long life Hence he thoughtfully made a present of it to his mother-iu-law. the parent. of the uoen who had sent it. Touched by this act of kindness from a son-inolaw from whom acts of kindness had been rarely received, the delighted woman eagerly partook of the sweet things, and in a few hours she was as dead as Juli- us Cmsar; When his majesty learned this he gave orders that the dead wom- an's daughter should at once have her head taken 00', and this acetirdingly was done before he had eaten his dinner. The Dynamite Council sitting in New York suggests in a pmlamatioo issued yesterday that every Irishman should assist in destroying all swell flying the English fine. They hint that this will be carth into execution afur the lat- : of September. - . Bradstrast’s Report. AN EARLY OPENING 0!’ BRISK FALL run: NBMADOWEDâ€"PAILUM 0! THE WEEK. N" YORK.

At most other cities the outlook is decidedly the reverse. Canal ship meats from Buffalo continue light. and boats are being laid up in consequence.

Miscreants at Work. TWO DELIBERATE ATTEMPTS AT TRAIN WRECKING ON THE GRAND TRUNK. KINGSTON. Aug. 22.â€"-'I‘he train- wrecker is again at. work in this vicini- ty. He seems determined to carry out his object. as it is but a few months since an attempt. was made to throw a train from the Grand Trunk track a few miles b.-lo\v the depot. This time, however. instead of there being but one obstruction laid, there were two, and on the same night, one on the main line and the other on the branch coming in- to the city. Btu-ecu three and four o’clock on Sunday morning as the Pull- man car was coming into Kingston from the depot. in front of the pilot engine. ehc struck something on the track, which gave the passengers a terrible shock. 0'! getting out of the cars it was found thata rail and a stick of timber had been plocnd on the track. the former crosswise. and the latter lengthwise. The timber, which was a- bout three feet long. was laid right close to the rail, so as to catch the wheel. However, it was split clean in two. which saved the car from being hurled from the rails down into a ditch alongside. The pilot also fitruok the timber and her front “'lth'lS were raised some six inches, but as the stick broke she dropped on to the rails again. The Pullman car was fairly laden with pas- sengers for the steamer .lfoqncl. In fact. the load was so great that the peo- ple had to stand up. From this it can be seen what a terrible calamity would have ensued had the timber and rail done the work which they were intentl- cd to do. As it. was the two brake- benms of the car were broken, and the foot-board of the pilot. was snmshed. Footprints were found in the sand of two persnns, who from appearances haw small feet. About :I quirter of a mile on the other side of the depot, on the main line. another obstruction was laid. in all prohibility by the sa-no persons or some of their companions. No. 22 engine was coming from the east rather more quickly than usual, being desirous of crossing No 3 at Kingston. when she. struck two ties that. had been lying a- cross the track and sent. them spinnin: ahead of her about one hundred yards On mwking an investigation. the con. clusion was come to. from the mark< on the track. that. the ties hail been lulll for the benefit of No. 3 thin coming from the west, which accounts for them having been so easily rcnmvcd. If they had been struck from the west thi- train would most undoubtedly lmvu been thrown from the tract, and a aim. ilnr accident to the recent one at. Pros- cott have taken place, but probably with more fatal results. The conductor of the pilot engine running into this city. again~t whom the first atteumt was made. was inter. vi:-wed in regard to the matter. III' stated that he l--l't the outer station at 3:40 a. m on S-Imlav morning, and a- bout fivi- minutes afterwards the. wheels of the Pullmio struck a rail which had been placed on the track. pointing to- wanl~ the coming train. but as the rail was clumsilv pl-Iccd it Was mnva fur. ward and fell b-sidc t 1! track. without doing any claniigc. Seircely had the traiu got. clear of the obstructing rail when a large oak block was encounter- ed_ Thin lock was then feet long and eighteen inchts square. and was an plan. ed that one end rested against the rail- way ties while the other waa raised so as to strike the approaching our. The train came on with such speed that when the brakebenm of the Pullman struck the block. the latter was spit in two. the tap piece being carried on in front of the car, while the other pieces passed under the car and struck the en- gine, breaking the foot-board. Hartmann, the Nihilistn has made, formal application in New York to bo- uome an American citizen.

It is now guarded by policemen. A A Cloud of Ants. Au unusually interesting pbehomeuou was presented to the Ie of Emerson on the afternoon of August 16th. It came in the shape ofolouds of ants in the air, fiying‘from the west towards tbeeast, and extending for miles and miles around. The ants appeared to be the ordinary little black ants only with the exception of being wings. During the flight. of the myri- ads of these insects over the town a number tame to the earth, and the side- walks. streets. etc.. were black and lit- erally covered with them. The sight was a novel one. and many of the citi- zens, says the Supra. watched the pro- gress of the flying clouds as they rolled into waves forming every conceivable shape, until they disappeared from sight. The Red River was also covered with acnatiug of these ants about an inch think. It is sup that heavy storms in the west have driven them down this way. The atmosphere was exceedingly sultry and theJlght consid- erably impaired. so heavy were the clouds during the time the ants were passing over the town. Winnipeg’s Gsneral Appearance. It Would take a long time to describe the general appearance of Winnipeg. and even then the reader who had nev- er seen this Canadian Chicago might have a very vague and indefinite notion as to what manner of place it. really is. in the first place. their main street. which is by a long way the principal thoroughfare of the city. is a very broad avenue (two chains wide). It. is almost as level as n billiard table, but. by no means straight. It was once the old lludsou Bay trail, and it. makes some sort. of a mild pretence of following the trend of the west bank of Red River. The other streets are running nearly north and south or east and west, and these forming all.sorts of nnglesiwith the main street, give rise to an unheard ofnunibor of gnres and angles. Some of the inhabitants have faced the situa- tion boldly. and building their houses in a regular rectangular form have left some curious little corners in their areas and lawns. while others have attempted to acoomodate their houses to the shape of their lots. Whether or not they have gone still further, and have had their- iurniture made on the bias, I am not prepared to say, but I am very certain that unless some of them have done so, there must. be a very appreciable amount of waste space in their domicilcs. The Industrial Agitation. The agitation in favour ofthc revival of Irish industries is rapid y taking hold of the people. The League Com vcntion in Dublin on September 15th will undoubtedly declare in favour of it. Moderate practical Inen like Lord Dunruven, William Shaw, and Mitchell Henry favour the devL-lopmcnt of the enormous water power of the country by Government. appropriations, by the encouragement of new industries. by the remission of municipal nitration, and other means. Parnell and the irrecon- cilabch think factories can be crI-atc-l by an elaborate and ruinous system «4 “boycotting” English made goods. M r. Bright always has been in favour of this industrial revival. but thinks it can only be brought about by a natural flow of English capital into Ireland, and by giving the capital a guarantee of order and security throughout the land. The decay of Irish industry, owing to Eug- lieh competition, backed by hostile Eug- lish legislation, forms a sad record of the blight upon the land during the first half of the century after the Union and since 1848. Capital, by reason of the agitation and risings of Young Ireland- crs, the I’hmnix Society. the Feuians, and the League. has had good reason for fighting shy of lreland. _._..._â€"a - ...â€"â€".-_._ Irishman in Canada. The London Dsn'ly Telegraph, in an article on the GovernonGencrul's tour in the North West, says :â€" “ One of the most curious things in regard to Canada, perhaps, is that its Irish immigrants are anion.r the steadi- est, nmst. industrious, and the most loyal of any in the country. South of the American frontier they connlizute the lllnal, objectionable part of the popula- Lion. They form the Worst “ rings "; hey are in league with the darkest con- spiracies; they do most to fill the Work- houses and tho gaols; and they are gen- erally regarded as the nurse of the coun- try, But once they settle down in the D uninion they ucctn to make model citizens. Then all the admittedly good qualities of the Celtic race show them- selves with In irvcllnus force.

The fact so [M-rnl-ttently stares the traveller in the face that Canada has often been pointed out as the home which I’rovi- deuce has especially designed fur dis. contench Irishmcn. They may join Land Leagues. obstruct reasonable evic- tions. hold unlawful meetings, wear Fenian colours, carry rebellious banners, and sing treamnable conga in the sister isle. but no sooner do they breathe the air of Canada than they becoma trans- formed into peaceful and loyal subjects. If Irishman are thus changed by a stay in Canada. then we leave the public to judge what a country it is. Rich in re. sources, capable of supporting a popula. tion of almost any extent, and abound- ing in all the materials of wealth and prosperity.

CO M MUNICATIONS. ' TM” To the Editor (3/ (In Pension Fall: Gazelle. Dsan Sm,â€" I “'3' muted I am very happy to see by the numerous pastors circulated around that the Directors of the. Mechanics' institute have announced the first annual excursion of that Society. We have all more or less during the present season, patronized LindI say, Sturgeon Point, Bulwaygeon and Cob- oconk. Now, sir, we are going to patroan ourselves by enjoying one day’s social in- tercourse and pleasant enjoyment " lar front the busy haunts of men," where we can look up “ from nature to nature's God." The Institute hasa large and respectable list of members. The ladies of the village are among its warmest supporters; and if our Soclety enters heartily into this matter we are a host in ourselves. The lnstitutov has .spent a large amount of money since Its Incorporation, and the result is our Reading Room is second to none in the I’lrnvince, considering the size and popula- tion of our village. It has brought within the reach of all some of the best works of the best authors, and has no doubt fostered‘ a love for reading and study among many of its mcmb‘rs. Last winter the entertainâ€" tncnts given antler its management were a source of real enjoyment to the citizens, fill- Ingup us It were the long blanks ofa Ca- nadian winter night. The institute I think deserves the moral and financial support of the inhabitants of the village, and we cer- tainly owe a debt of gratitude to its fouli- dcr, Mr. J. D. Smith, who has laboured l0 zealously on its behalf from its incorpora- tion to the present time. Let all the mem- bers, then, who can conveniently do so, turn out an mum and show by their meet- Ing together they belong to that vastarmy of readers whose thirst for knowledge is the very spirit of this age of enlightenment. This village has had its own discords, both public and private, during the past year. Let us then. at least for a day, throw the spirit of contention to the winds and recall to our memories the soothing influences of childhood. but the Reeve and Councillor Carnphull play “ hide and go seek " through the woods, while Ratcpayer, having ceased “harping on my daughter," walks arm in arm with Emma, Citizen and Toby bringing up the rear.
