The General Election. i The Globe says: “ We learn on good authority that. the date fixed upon for - the general election is the 6th of June." If this statement bc, as is generally be- lieved, correct, the sooner Reformcrs in every constituency, and particularly in North Victoria, bcstir themselves the better for their prospects of success in the coming contest.’ We are, it must. be confessed, in rather a bad position in this riding just at present, which our political opponents know as well as we t do and no doubt expect an easy victory. Tho president of the Reform Associa- tion is in Manitoba, with tho date of his return uncertain, and-in his ab- sence-we do not know who is to take the initiative and “set the ball rolling.” , If it. wcrc an understood thing that a particular individual, or some one out of two or three individuals, was to be ! the Reform candidate it would not mat- ter so much; but no one with whom we have convcrsed seems to be better iu- formed on this important point than tvc are. The name of'a popular and prom- inent farmer was at one time in almost cveryoue's mouth; but at. the Victoria Road convention he refused most posi- 1tively to accede to the wishes of his . friends, and no other person has been . more than barely mentioned as a possi- ble candidate. We arc afraid, too, that trouble may arise from the apparent dc- terminution of some of the electors to 1 have a ‘ homo man '; for unless one can be found who will have a fair chance of success it. will be downright. folly to run 1 him. What tvc want to doâ€"tvhat. it is l our duty to do-is to elect. a good sound 1 Reformer who is opposed to protection, to further Pacific Railway enormities, and to a host of minor iuiqultics too l numerous to mention; and if we can do - that. we ought to be satisfied, no matter , where our representative hails from. j But. steps should be taken at once to fix 1 upon some available man, whether na- l tive or foreign, to bear our standard in the fight; for the 6th of June is only two months ahead, and that space of time is little enough for all that is to be done. no matter how actively we may exert ourselves. I | . 1 1 The Trent Valley Canal. The chairman of our local committee has just received a letter from Hector Cameron, Esq. M. I’., in which he says ~ that be is daily pressing on the Govern- : meut for .1 vote in the supplemental cs- 1 timates for the building of three locks, l g two here and one in PeterborQUgh, asl q the beginning of the work.

Fenelon Auditors’ Report. “'e clip the following from last. week's issue of the Lindsay Wnrdcr :â€" “ We have received a letter from Mr. l Joo. Daniel, reeve of Fenelon, in reply to enquiries by ‘ A Fcneloo Ratepayer’ as to when the Fenclon auditors’ reportl was published. So far as the Warder is concerned, Mr. Daniel's statements are not. true. When be speaks of ‘local editors ’ and ‘local parties,’ we take if. for granted he includes ourselves. We believe that in former years the Fcnelou auditors’ report used to be published in the Gazette, or some other paper, and the ratepayers had no trouble in hunf.~ lug for a copy of it; now it is printed in sheet. form somewhere out: of the county, we believe in Peterboro' ; a hundred or two are procured, and they lie in the clerk's office from one year's end to the other, and very few people ever sec a. copy of it. If Mr. Daniel had given in his letter the correct fig- ures asked by all the papers, including his Pctcrboro‘ friend, we would have published his letter, and then the peo- plc would be able to judge for them- selves whether it is through motives of economy that the Fenelon printing is sent. out of the county. If there is to be any preference in the matter, we be- lieve that the Gazette should get. the printing, even if the price asked was a little high, for the editor 0f that. paper is a ratcpaycr in the township. If the rccve of Fcnelon thinks he is promoting the interests of his township by his ac- tion in this matter he is very much mis- taken. If. would be more in the inter- est of his own municipality and the county generally, if he gave more of his attention to costly road and bridge con- tracts. The bridge at Fenelou Falls furnishes a striking illustration of how the pcople’s money is squandered. There is very little to be said about the expenditure on large contracts of the kind mentioned, but in the matter of printing they exhibit no such magnan- imity. If Mr. Daniel will give the fig- ures asked by each of the pnblishcrh, and state whether the report was to ap- pear in the paper or in sheet form, we will print it." We are much obliged f0 our couf'rere for his good tvord on our behalf, but. it will be of no service, for the Feuelon council are afflicted with economy on the brain (we do not. say of the brain), and give their printing, at prices which it is beneath the dignity of the Gazette to accept, to Mr. W. H. Robertson, of Pcterborough, who has a nasty habit of poaching on other people's preserves, and whom we would treat to a little no- tice that would just. make his hair stand on end, were if. not that: he has solvent and respectable connections in this vil- lage whose feelings we do not. wish to hurt. It is strange but undeniably true that, as the Wardcr remarks, those cus- todians of public funds who are the most. niggardly in small matters gener- ally prove the most. careless or incom- petent when large sums are at stake, as witness our school trustees, who could not. be happy until they had cut. down their annual twenty dollars worth of ship of Somervillc met this 27th day of Members all present, and :the rccvc in t 1 l t l printing to half price, and then allowed their treasurer to get. away with over fourteen hundred dollars of somebodyht money. =__â€"-_ The municipal council of the town- March, 1882, pursuant. to adjournment. the chair.

(Correspondence of the Gazette.) The latc snow storms have been of great service to the lumbermeu here, enabling them to get many more logs to the river banks than they expected ; and although some of our jobbcrs have suf- fered from the lack of snow this winter, a large quantity of timber, tics, poles, posts &c., will go down the south branch of the Burnt. River. We are now pa- tiently awaiting the development of e- vents concerning our iron industry, and it. is evident that. something is on the tapi'a, especially in Suowdon. We are all in the dark for actual facts concern- ing the movements of Messrs. Pusey 8c Co., but it is in every ouc‘s mouth that the head of the firm has been successful in forming his company in Paris and England, and sundry other rumours are current which cause us to look forward to the future with anxiety and impa- tience. But. soon something definite must be known about. this locality, as we have had a survey party these two weeks engaged east of’ here along where the line of railway would be, examining into the quantity of hardwood for char- coal purposes, and making other obser- vations at present only known to those engaged in them. Gradually our small community adds to its population. A shoe maker has taken up his abode a‘ mong us within the last three mouths, and has an excellent business; so that our village can now boast. of a saw mill, a grist. mill, a blacksmith shop, two gro- cery stores, hotel, tavern and post-office, with two deliveries weekly from Kin- mount and one from Cheddar. Reports are circulated of other businesses being about to start, and it is quite evident. that, if Mr. Pusey has been successful in his affairs in the old country, it can- not be long until rapid improvement must fake place in this vicinity in con- sequence of our vast deposits of ore. Mild weather has now set in, and the opening of the lakes will soon permit our lumbertnen to depart for their vari- ous destinations. Pleasant Valley. l Condensed News. â€"Wm.

Finding no game they com- menced firing at a mark, and as Mitch- ell was in the act of taking the pistol, loaded and cocked, from Delaney, the charge exploded, and the bullet was lodged in Mitchell's thigh, inflicting an ugly and painful wound. _ -â€"Some men who were blasting onta well for Mr. John Mills, of Asphodel, a few days ago, were crazy enough to use a hammer to drive the dynamite car- tridges into the holes drilled in the rock to receive them. The first three were forced in without mishap, but. the fourth exploded, scattering the spades, shovels &c., in all directions and injur- ing two of the men, one of whom lost a part of three fingers and the use of one thumb, while the other man, who was looking over the top of the well at. the moment, had his elbow fractured by a piece of rock from below. â€"Lust Monday evening an immense train of cars left. Millbrook with about 500 emigrants to the much~tulked~of Souris settlement, and as they took with them their live. stock, farming im- plements and household furniture, the scene of confusion at the station, tvhile the work of loading was in progress, may be more easily imagined than de- scribed. The grcat. majority of the em- igrants lived within a radius of ten or twelve miles of the village, the inhabi- tants of which turned out. ca massc to bid them good-bye and sec them start on their somewhat hazardous and spec- ulative journey. Souool. Mt-zn'rixo. The regular monthly meeting of the School Board was held on Wednesday evening, but nothing was douc beyond passing a few accounts. The auditors’ report, which the ratepayers are so anxious to sec in print, was taken up and laid down a~ gain, and mention was made of the 87 50 which Mr. Grcencgot and refus- es to refund, but no motion was made with regard to either. TIIE TARTAN.â€"â€"A highlander in his national dress has been in the village SCHOOL REPORT ~â€"Thc number of the past two or three days, and his un- teaching days in public schools for the first. quarter 01'1882 is 64. The public school of this place has been kept. open 63 days during the quarter. The total attendance for the quarter is 2193, or an average of 34 17-64. When the warm weather again comes the attend- ance will increase. As a greatnumbcr of the pupils are small and have quite a distance to travel, they cannot attend during the tvintcr months.

I wish to respectfully call the attention of parents to three requisites indispensably necessary to the rapid progress of their children, viz, a proper supply of school requisites, regular attendance, and the preparation of home lessons and adequate attention to home exercises. That your child may not retard the progress of other pupils in the same class, and that I may not be compelled to put him or her into a lower class, I sincerely hope you will give these matters your earnest atten- tion. Unless these matters are attend- ed to I will not be held responsible for the rapid progress of your child. W. P. 11 ERBON, Teacher. m Kinmount. IRON’ Sum.ri.\‘o.-.\1e.~:srs. J. C. Par- ry and J. (l.

McDonald, of this village, has returned from Win- nipcg, which he says is a fine city, but during the whole period of his stay the weather was exeevable. IIc says he is so convinced that the city has a grand future before it that, nottt'ithstanding the undeniably severe winters, he may not. improbably more there and “ stick out his shingle ” in the course of a year or two, and until then will reside in Fenelon Falls and practice his prov fession as usual.

As he was nc- eompanicd by Mrs. Wood and several of their children it. is probable that hc came on n pleasure trip and thathis visit had no "political significance," which some people are ready to attach to the most. ordinary movements of members ofthc Government. We. had not the pleasure of seeing Mr. Wood, and (to talk like an Irishman) didn't know he was here until he had gout: away again.

A few days ago, however, we read that two head of cattle were thrown from their feet in consequence of the car in which they were confined being violently struck by another while shunting, and that before they could be rescued they were tram- pled to death by their companions. The name of the owner was not. given; but if they were Mr. llchrthur's he will of course be paid for them by the railway company. Iuron'rax'r TO h‘.tn.\tnns.â€"Wo have received from Lindsay (with a request that we will notice it) u poster announc- ing that, in response to an invitation on behalf of‘ a number of farmers of‘ Mari- posa and Eldon. Prof. \V. Brown, of the Guelph Agricultural College, has con- sented to deliver an address to a meet- ing of farmers, af' the township hall, Oakwood, on Wednesday next, the 12th inst, at: 1.30 p. m. sharp. Subject :â€" “Breeds of Sheep, and their financial position in Ontario." Professor Brown is well known from his work at the col- lege and by his addresses before farm- ers’ clubs at. Markham, Belleville and other places. The farmers of Muriposa and the adjoining townships are urged to attend. It is proposed to make this meeting preliminary to the formation of a farmers’ club. The Professor's ad- dress ou sheep ought to be followed by a companion address on dogs, and their financial position in Ontario, which would be fully as interesting and in- structive as the other. ' mm The Guiteau Case. Wasnrxorox, April 1.â€"Scovillo is in Washington again. IIc is reported to have said in an interview :â€"“ Gui- tcau is a queer compound, the stran- gest man ever heard 0f in my life. lIe thinks if ho had had some other lawyer he would have been frec and walking the streets to-day. lIc really thinks it. wrong that he should be in- carcerated in can]. IIc talks about. truth-telling and virtue, and he is the biggest liar and the least honest man I ever knetv. lIe said in his testimony, and he said it several times, that. his inspiration from the Deity caused him to kill Garfield because hc was untruth- ful and ungrateful. Now I can't un- derstand the logic or consistency in any such nonsense as that. I have spoken of Guitcau's ingratitude. Had ho lived in the days of King Lear he would have shamed even that unfortunate King’s wicked daughters. Why, once when he got into the Tombs in New York he \vrotc mo an affectinglcttcr, and I went. on there at a great expense of time and money and liberated him. I did more. I brought him home, clothed him, loan- ed him money, and procured a good situation for him, but he never appre- ciated it. Ungrateful l well, I should say he was. I have spoken of his in- gratitudc. I may supplement it by saying that he is the meanest man 1| ever knew. 110 always needed mural, physical and mental training, and he never had either, except where sonic- bo/ly interposed to help him. lle is a. coward, a liar, and lacks common sense, and I may almost say a thief, and yet at the same time he. honestly believes that. he is a model of virtue." In reply to the question if there was any hope that. the sentence of death might not be carried out, Scovillc said, “I think if we get two-thirds of the Congressmen, a large number of'judges, and an equal number of lawyers to pc- tition the President, that. he will com- mute the sentence." q-’ Caught in a Blizzml.

The water 1 supply had also run out, and thirst had to be quenched with melted snow. For- tunatcy there happened to be two dog trains and a couple of snow shocrs on board. 'l'he dog trains were dcspatch- ed on Thursday afternoon to Poplar Paint, and returned in the afternoonl with all the provisions they could carry, which temporarily satisfied the cravings of hunger. Thursday night the supply of coal and wood began to look alarm- ingly small, and threatened to soon run out. In order to economize in this di- - rection tho rear car was abandoned, 1 and the passengers doubled up in the! two other coaches. The second-class l car attached to the train was would’ and comfortloss u to be of scarcely any 1 use whatever. At night the backs off the out: were turned up no u to come i together, and the cushions from tlto . baudoned car laid aermm, and in this manner beds were made up. The floors of the pamgcs were covered with cush- ions and utilixed for a similar purpose,- and in many cases in order to accomo- date a sort of double deck arrangement‘ was resorted to. Friday passed about as the day previous. The stock of fuel‘ was nearly exhausted, the stoves refused to draw well, and the passengers were well nigh as uncomfortable as could be. One of the passengers came across a barrel of salt pork and some frozen fish lying in a snow drift near the station. The question of ownership was not for a moment considered, and in double quick time boiled pork and fish were under way, and, rough fare though it seemed, was very acceptable under tho circumstances. On Saturday the pas- sengers turned out and helped to clear the track, and on Sunday a successful start was made for Winnipeg. _, - .__-. ...___ Thirty-three English parishes were dependent for choice of their rectors on‘ the late dissipated Lord Lousdale.
