The belief is founded upon state- ments to that. effect. in the Globe, and in this vicinity, as well, probably, as in others. upon information received from private but thoroughly rot-liable sources. The Mail denies (but. then it will deny almost anything) that an election will take place before the natural period, and the members of the Conservative party Fay ju>t what. the Mail does; but, if the springing of a mine he not con- templated, what mean all the tory con- ventions respecting which we see so touch in editorials, in advertisements, and in posters? ' here can be but very little doubt that an electi0n will take place immediately after the next sesvion, which may be an unusually short. one; and, at any rate, while one party is ap- parently tanking preparations for a con- tcst, it. would be the height of fully for the other to allow itself to be lulled to sleep by soothing assurances that the said preparations do not mean anything in particular. Who is to be the Reform candidate in this riding at the next elec- tion, come when it may, we do not. know, and if anyone else does he is keeping his knowledge mighty secret. There is some talk of a conventionâ€"a Reform convention, we meanâ€"at no distant day, and we hope that whoever feels inspired to take the initiatory steps towards bringing out. a “ standard bearer,” will also feel inspired to take them in the most open manner possible. There are. plenty of good Ilcforniers in North Victoria who are not perhaps as clever as some others, but. who have effective votes not- withstanding, and who have been of- fended in the past by the “ exclusive- ness" of our head manipulators.

One man ofâ€" fch a dollar to any person who will take away a stray dog which has been at his pIuCe for the last two weeks. Who comes first ? Mr. Richard Moore owns a valuable mare which by some Incans fell into a well, reported to be twenty-eight feet deep, when Mr. 3; Mrs. Moore were a- way. Mattie, a girl of about fourteen, was the only person at. home at the time, and by her courage and presence of mind the animal was rescued. She had to _run nearly a mile and a half beâ€" fore. she could obtain help. The more , is now all right. Such a girl as Mattie l Moore certainly deserves praise. 1 Another of our young men is gone. Mr. John Flett, who recently came here from Scotland, has since his arrival been more or less sickly. Since harvest. he did very little work, if any, and about two months ago he took to his bed, where he remained, and for the greater part of' the time unconscious, until death closed his career among us on Wednes- ‘ day morning. He will be touch regret- ted, and the bereaved family will have i the sympathy of the entire community. 3 [The above was intended for last. Sat- iurday’s issue. but. arrived too late.â€" az.

Sm:â€" Yours of the 11th inst. to hand. In reply to your questions I beg to say that about two-thirds of the land here is good and about oue~third rocky or stony. The range of rocks that runs through Muskoka, I’cterborough and Hastings does not strike the Island. on which the rock is all limestone. The timber on the Island is chiefly hard- woodâ€"maple, elm, birch, basswood, and in some places there is cedar growing through the hardwood; it is chiefly ec- dar on low lands, and in some places‘ there are large tracts of pine; then there I is a good deal of burnt land that. hast very little timber on except small pop. , lam. The soil is chiefly clay 101m, and gem-rally brings splendid crops. The climate is very healthful, and numbers of penile come here for the, their health, and there is abuu anec splendid water. 350 cents per acre, two fifths down and lthe balance in three years at six per cent interest. The settlement duties are to settle on the land within' six months from the time you purchase, and clear at the rate. of five acres in three years for every hundred acres pur- chased; but the best of the Government land is all taken up here now, and to get good land you would have to go; miles back; but if a man has a ’ thirty little capital he'can buy improved land just new II from two to five dollars per acre, which pays better than clearing wild land. There are no free grants. The Iotal scent is J. C. Phipps, and his , address is Habit-cunning. which is the Ellf‘fzd‘d" hith I'm tilt: Isilml.

A STOPP.\GE.â€"After about a bun- dred of last week's issue of the Gazette had been struck off a small but import- ant. part of the press broke and a stop- page was the result. Thanks to Mr. Robson, of the foundry, the broken piece \vas replaced by a new one, but the rest of the papers could not be printed until Saturday afternoon, and consequently some of the mails were missrd. Tn}: Loon. finenessâ€"Tho elec- tions of Councillors and schonl trustees are approaching, but. we have not yet heard anything definite as to who the candidates will be. Either office is n thankless one; and while the present incumbents no doubt wish they were well out of the muddle caused by Davis‘s appropriation of the. public moneys. probably very few others wish to get mixed up in it. THAT SII)EW.\I.K.â€"Thc work of ex- tending the sidewalk on Francis street cast has not yet been commenced; and we hope, before it is, the half burned cedar sticks apparently intended for sleepers will be removed and something more suitable for the purpose substi- tuted. It really appears as if any sort of' rubbish is thought good enough to put. into corporation work in this false- economy-stricken village. ’ IilTN.\WAY.â€"Lusf‘. Monday morning one of the sons of Mr. Wm. l’owles, of Fcnclou, rode through the village on a grey inure, and some time afterwards the animal came galloping back again, minus her rider and the reins of” the , bridle, except a couple of inches at each 'end. t'he was caught and put. into 'Burley’s blacksmith’s shop, and when he said that he had tied her to a fence : in Vcruhrm, and that she was so fright.- .cued by a (log that ran barking out at her that she sprang backwards, broke the reins and started for home before he could catch her. ’ A BREAK-DOWN â€"Last Monday af- ternoon Mr. John Painter, of Fenelon, drove with a companion in a backboard down Francis street east. in this village at. the turning a front wheel got tangled up among the rocks with which the the axle broke. At six o’clock, on our way home, we saw Mr. Palmer and one or two other men working at the dis- abled vehicle; and as none of them was the read in such a horrible condition, we concluded that. they were all good Christians or had got throuin with came up. we had the pleasure of shaking hands and chatting for a few minutes with our old friend Mr. William Allen, who left here six years ago for Manitoba, where he has since resided with hisstcpson, W. It. Dick, Esq. Mr. Allen, who is in his 79th year, is nearly as young looking and far smarter than when we last. saw him ; and he tells us that, al- though he thought he had a very short time to live when he left the Falls, he experienced a marked improvement in his health as soon as he reached Mani- toba and has scarcely had a sick day since, which speaks volumes for the sal- ubrity of the, climate. As he called to see us on publication day we could not spare time for a lengthened conversa- tion; but he has kindly promised to visit us again in a day or two, when we hope to obtain from him a good deal of information, which we will lay before our readers. Mr. Allen left Winnipeg at half-past 8 o'clock on Monday morn» ing and reached Lindsay about noon on Thursday, which is fast. travelling oven in these fast days. DIDN'T Know 11‘ was Leannaâ€"«A boy thirteen or fourteen years of age named Donaldson, iu the employ of Mr. James Iirokenshirc of Cameron Point, committed, on Sunday last, an act; of" such incredible folly that it almost jus- tifies his incarceration in a lunatic asy- lum. Going into the house of Mr. David Brokcnshirc, who lives close to his brother, he found no one at. home but. Miss Brokeushirc, and taking down a gun that hung on the wall and was heavily loaded with duck-shot, ho cock- ed it, pointed it at the young woman and pulled the trigger. Fortunately the gun was very hard to fire, which caused the muzzle to drop, and the charge tore a large hole in the floor close to the feet of Miss BIOkCDSIIII‘C, who shriede and sprang backwards as the boy raised the weapon. As far as we have heard no steps have been tak- en to punish the young scamp, whose only plea. in extenuatiou of his conduct is that he did it to frighten the girl and that he didn't know the gun was loaded. Such an excuse ought not to be accept- ed from any person old enough, as Don- aldson is, to understand the nature of firearms, as it is the boundcn duty of all who handle them to take it for granted that they are in a condition to do harm until a [arsenal examination proves the contrary. A BAD FALLâ€"The genial proprietor of the " Mansion House," in this vil- ' Inge, met with what might have proved , a very serious accident last Sunday night. Mr. Noble Ingram has of late manifested a desire to become a sports- man of no mean calibre, and with that . object in view recently acquired a band- lsomc young greyhound, which has at- tracted a great deal of notice, as dogs 3 of his attenuated breed are rarely seen I in this part of the Dominion.

Fortunately no bones were broâ€" ken,but the right side 'of his face and his righteye were terribly bruised and blackened and his right arm badly dis- abled, from which we infer that he went “right. side down," though cer- tainly not. " with care." Whether the innocent cau=e of the disaster followed him down the Cellar stairs or was com- ing up to meet him Mr. Ingram doesn't know and the dog is unable to tell him; but we are informed that the animal was so frightened by the accident. that since it occurred he has eviuwd a strong disinclination to undertake another dc- scent into the lower regions of the hotel. l Ssatocs Mitt. ACCIDENT.â€".‘Ir. Ilen- ry )Ichruiid, of this village, met with a very severe accident on Monday even- ing last in McArthur & Thompson‘s mill. which he helped to build and in which he has been employed ever since it was finished. While he was at. work hanging a marker between ~the two trimming saws dark came on somewhat earlier than usual, and while hurrying to finish the job he unfortunately steps pod in the hole left in the floor for the ends of boards to drop through, and fell against one of the saws, which were in motion. The injuries he sustained are, we learn from Dr. Bryson, his med- ical uttcndant, very serious and not easy to describe. On his right. hand the index finger was out completely through, half the thumb-nail taken off, and two teeth-marks left. on the middle finger. On the left hand the saw com- menced atnenrly the top of the thumb, passing right. across the palm and quite through the whole thickness of the hand on the ulnar side and into the wrist joint. On the left leg, above the knee, the clothing was completely removed or torn into shreds, and three cuts were iu~ flicth on the quadriceps artciisor mus- cle. Bad as his wounds were, Mr. Me'- Dermid declined to be placed under the influence of' chloroform while they were dressed, but sat upright and bore the operation with scarcely a word of com- plaiut ; and we are glad to hear from Dr. Brysou that his patient is doing as well as can be expected so soon after such an accident. An Old Horse. “Old Ginger," a horse owned by Squire Fowler. of Fingal, which cclc- brated its fortieth birthday last spring, died a few days ago of inflannuntion. , Concoruing this remarkable animal the ,St. Thomas Times says:â€"-“ Old Gin- ger" was sired by Foxhuutcr, and was raised by Terence Brady, Southwold, being fouled just. forty years ago last 'spring. When two years old he was purchased by Squire Fowler, of Fiugal, who had retained possession of him for thirty-eight years, and who is willng to vouch as to his age. “ Ginger "' was a line horse when in his- prime. Coming from good strfck he was able to travel ,fourtceu miles an hour, and frequently did so. He was fed on grucl during the past year or two in order to prolong.r :his life, and a- thousand dollars in cash :wouldl not have bought him. .°.-â€"_.._ A Well Matched Pair. For some time past «couple of men ' named respectively J. W. Beebe and It". Ainsley have gone through the country with a patent. contrivancc for sharpen- ing ecythcs. They appointed a great many agents for the sale of rights. In each case a bond of $200 is demanded to secure the owners of the right in case of any breach of contract. These notes are negotiated in another part. of the country. In some instances a breach of contract has been alleged on the flimsicst grounds possible and the note put. in suit for collection. Au Eigin man laid information against Beebe and Ainsley, charging them with fraud and false pretenccs. Mr. George II. Gordon, :1 livery stable keeper of St. Thomas, has been mourning the loss of a team of horses and rig. This was hired by Beebe and Ainsley about eight weeks since. Chief Fewiugs, who had the case in hand, discovered that the team of horses had been left with a Glcncoc hotelskcepcr by those parties for their board. Consequently another warrant, charging the couple with horse stealing, was issued. On this charge they were arrested at; Mt. Brydgcs and brought to this city on route to St. Thomas. . *gâ€"vâ€" Winter in British Columbia. Bl‘lllzh Columbia experienced its first frost much earlier than usual this year. Generally it. comes during the last week of October, sometimes in the first week of November, but. this year it arrived on the night of October llth. At New Westminster it. was not. remarkable for its severity, but in the interior the cold was intense and lasting. A correspond- ent at. Clinton writes as follows to the Herald :â€"-Thc frest Sent the mercury down to zero or thereabouts and the snow laid from three to six inches on the ground. The grain crops were for the most part. out. with little or no pros. pact of getting them in. The potato crop (an unusually good one) will suf- fer severely, probably fully two-thier being destroyed by frost. The freight- iug interests have suffered about as sc- vercly as the crops. The whole ox‘tcam force was, of course, brought. to a sun’- den stand, as the oxen could not. hold their feet on the icy hills. There is 35,000 lbs. of freight stack at Bridge Creek, about. the same at the tauâ€"min.- l "011530. and fully 150,000 lbs. at.

Not. a brick of the boiler house was left standing upon the other. and the large brick chimney, 100 feet high, was com- pletely levelled to the ground. The ,west end of the large steam mill was torn to pieces, and the. entire structure wrecked and demoralized. The large. steam dome was lifted high in the air and came down on the opposite. side of the mill, and bricks, pieces of iron, and timbers were thrown hundreds of feet away. Bricks and timbers were found half'a mile from the mill. The salt block was badly wrecked by the explo- sion, timbers and iron being driven through it, and a salt. drill house two hundred feet distant received a piece. of boiler that shattered the tower, and an- other smashcd in one side of tho roof. It is impossible to give an idea of the tremendous force of the cxph sion and the destruction that followed. The boil- ers were fired at night to supply steam for the saw mill, and the firemen at work were all killed, not one escaping to tell the story. Michael Lebcau, head fireman, who had charge of' the boiler- housc, was covered in the debris, and the body was dug out an hour after the explosion occurred. Both legs were bro- ken below the knee and the body was badly bruised. Joseph Lebeau, brother of the first mentioned, was found thirty .fect distant with his right arm and' shoulder broken, his abdomen crushed in, and his clothing torn off. These men were thirty-eight and twenty-three years old respectively, and resided at Milwaukee. They came from Mentrc- al years ago, and have relatives in Can- ada. Frank Blanchard was blown into the bay 500 feet distant, and his body was not recovered until this afternoon. The body was badly mangled. II.) was, a single man, twenty five years old, and belonged to St. Oncsimc, Quebec. Charles Carpenter was found only a few feet from Joe cheau, his clothing torn off, and his body badly scalded and burned; IIc was a single lllMt, twenty seven years old. and came from Quebec. The damage by the explosion will reach 825,000; Low water is given as the cause of' the disaster.- Missiissippi River Beserimirs. The plan of' providing reservoirs near the headwaters of'the Mississippi river, as a source of supply in seasons when the river is at a low stage, has for a long time been in contemplation. It. is now likely to be practically tested. Con- gress in 1880 make an appropriation of 875,000 for a dam at Lake Winnebi- goshish, and last spring made an ad- ditional impropriatiou of' $150,000 for the same purpose. The enterprise was halted for some months, because Con- gress failed to provide means for cati- mating the amount of damage to lands that the overflow would cause; but that. matter has now been overcome by an ordinary nppraisemcnt, and the work is likely to go on, and the dam at Winne- bigogish will be constructed at. an early day. It. is not expected that this one structure will have any appreciable ef fect upon the water in the Mis. ssippi river. But it. will solve certain prob- lems in practical engineering, and the extent to which it may be made to con- trol the water passing through it, will be looked upon as a test. of the eflicieney of the general system. If' the work a- bout to be constructed prove a success, as there seems no good reason to doubt, a few more years will bring the exten- , sion of the system over enough of the l territory near the river's source to grad- uete the amount of water in its channel, and, with a corresponding improvement in the channel, ns~urc the long-wished~ for navigation by large boats through the whole of the open seasonâ€"North- icrstcrn Lumbcrnmn.
