Banquet. THE FIRST As noticed in last week’s Gaza-(la, I work on the Trent. Valli-y Canal com-l mcnccd in this village on the 17th iii.~:t.. and the force employed has grnduailv increased until there are now about sixty men busy at. the cut. and four, carts and three \t‘uggnlts drawing the excavated material away. The dcprhl rcttulncd varies so greatly that. it is im- I possible to say what it will averagc.| for while at the end nearest Colborncl sirect the solid rock was struck a few I inches bclow the surface. at other spots it has not. yet been reached, and about the middlc of the cut, where there is a rise in the ground, as much as five or I six fort of earth, grnvcl and thin lay-l era of rock will be removed before blast- iog will become nccossary, and a deter- mined effort is being made to get it. out of the ray before frost sets in. Mr. Archibald )lacrloualdâ€"-tlic walking boss and chicl‘cmployee of the contractorsâ€" is greatly plea~cd with the progress , made thus far, and tells us that. the mun arc, with scarcely an exception, thz‘ best lot he ever had under his cou- trul. Of coituse a work of such magnitude and importance as the Trent Valley 1 Canal could not be comIm-hccd without some sort. of inaugural ceremonies, as l pccially as our Conservative friends bought it Would allbrd first. rate facili- tlck for making a little politicalcapilal; and so, after several telegrams had puss- cd betweru Mr. Hector Cameron and the committee of arrangements, Thurs- 1 day ol'this week was advertised as the date of the proceedings, which were to consist of a big blast from the face of the. rock above the old steamboat wharf. lu-loit' the falls, and a banquet at the Simpson House in the evening. Ac- cordingly a row of holes fourteen feet : deep were drilled in the rock and chargâ€" cd with explosives, and four rows of feet lonngrc laid out. in Simpson's spacious (lining room and loaded with us tempting an array of catablcs as ever made the mouth ol'au epicure water. Mr. Cam- eron arrived by the afternoon train. whichâ€"perhaps out. of respect for .him ~â€"was for once on time. and was escort- rd from the railway station by a pro-l cession comisting of the village band, the employees of the contractors in carts of loading citiztrus. The work of conmczing the wires lcading from the perforations in the rock to- au electric battery in the hall of the .‘le.\rthur House was soon e-nnpcted. and the wife of our worthy reeve, who had kindly comentetl to send the tame lightning on IL" misdon of destruction. pt-rlhrmod that duty in the most scien- titic and satisfactory manner.

Fred was none the worse for his cold dip. Duorrcn Dunnâ€"Our old friend Mr. James Junkiu, of Verulum. has for years driven a team almost. as well known as himself. and seeing the other day that the place of one of them was filled by a colt. we asked what had become of the old gray, to which Mr. Junkin rcâ€" plied that he was dead. On Thursday of last week the venerable animal, which had reached its twentieth year. was ploughing with his mate, apparent; ly in good health, when he suddenly stopped, threw up his head, and the next. instant dropped dead. A post moi-(em examination was not held. and, consequently, the cause of his unexpect. ed and lamented death can only be con- jccturcd. Tin: annnox MAILâ€"One of the greatest obstacles to the extension of the circulation of the Gazette in some directions is the extraordinary routes by which the mails reach their destina- tions. \Ve have given illustrations of this on more than one occasion, but we did not know until Tuesday last, when a subscriber complained of it, that. the mail from this village to Cameron is ac- tually carried to Lindsay and brought back again next day or the day after- wards. This sort of thing is not only injurious to us but exceedingly annoy- ing to the public. and “a bug pull, a strong pull, astrong pull, and a pull altogether” ought to be made with a view to obtaining more direct. postal communication. NORTHERN SPIES.â€"A few days ago Mr. Julius Fisk brought. us a. large basket full of splendid apples of the Northern Spy variety, which he said were good for cooking as they \vcrc, and would be delicious for eating if. kept for a time. We told him that. we would do our best, but feared it. would be impossible to keep them on our prem- ises, as there were too many children around. Our fear is being verified, and the applesâ€"of which there were over fiftyâ€"are disappearing so fast that. the only way to ‘savc the remainder is to put. them into pies. Mr. Fisk will please accept our thanks for his present, and it he can manage to save a few of the Spies until they arrive at perfection, we shall be happy to express an opiuiou on their merits. , Accummrs.â€"--On Sunday last two accidents occurred to children in the township of Vcrulain. Mr. Thomas Archer's youngest daughter, a little girl about fivc or six years of age, was amusing herself with that very danger"- r..us plnything, a cutting box, and by some means got her first. and second fin- gers caught. in the cogsof one of the wheels, which crushed them so badly that Dr. Wilson was compsllcd to am- putate the firstuud has some doubts about bcing able to save the other, though he is of course trying his best to do so. The other accident happcnel to a little boy about 8 years old, third son of' Mr. Thomas Hopkins. He had been with an elder brother to drive the cows, and on their way back they srop- pad to have a tumor on a cedar log across a pile about five feet high. While they were enjoying the fun the younger b y slipped o9 thc‘log, and, falling to the ground, put. his right cl- bow out ()fjoiut. Dr. Wilson, who was sent for, reduced the dislocation, and the little fellow will, it. is hoped, soon be out at play again. Church and State in England. LONDOX, Oct. 2.- .â€"T|ic growing ag- itation for abolition of union between Church and State by the complctc dis- establishmcnt of the English Church is receiving an unusual impetus at. pres- ent. The frequent recurrence of sales by auction of farm tools, implenn:nt~‘ and utensils uodcr dl>trallltb to rcCovcr the extraordinary tithes claimed by the Established Church under a law long ago supposed to bc obsolete causes the utmost. indignation among English lar- mers. At several recent sales of this clmractcr auctioneers and their assist- ants and also intending purchasers have been boycotted by the indignant farm- ers. Public lnectiogshave been held in several counties, at. which resolutions protesting against the continuance of' this unju~t impost were adopted. Many of the more liberal members of the cler- g'.’ would gladly see these tithes abo|~ . ishcd, and not. a. few have boldiycx presst themselves as bcing in harumny with the farmers on this question. At a mcetina' of the furor-rs of K-nt and " Sussex one sp:akcr called attention to the fact that all asveablages thus far- had been- held during the agitation peaceful our-s, and said that if this . gI'OS“ injustice was allowed to continue he should not like to be answerable for its being always so. Another speaker said it appeared to him shameful that f l .. . ._ . 'moncy should have been drawn from : words, but “ill go more into details in t I the pockets of unwilling parishioners to support. a creed in which they did not bclicve, simply to add to the already l large incame of army of thc clcrgy.

Jim Russell, a son of Major Russell, famous during the Florida \var. now makes a precarious living in South Flor- ida as a guide to visiting sportsmcu. For a bonus of two dolla.s Jim will dive into the current. of the muddy St. John's and bring up an alligator. He actually brings them out of" their holes. Strange as this may seem, it. is the only safe way to approach an alligator. They dig holes in river banks. just below the surface of the water, and crawl into them. Jim dives down, crawls in Hip idly, and seizes the tail of the saurian, who, startled, immediately backs out. Jim holds on, keeping his legs stiff till clear of the book, when he darts away. and the ’gator, rising to the surface for a. moment to see what is the matter, is slain by waiting gunners in the boat. This has become common sport on the upper St. John's rivetâ€"Jildcsmwille Times. I Fight With a Bear. Dealer in all kinds of .FARM IMELEMENTS.

The tent with its con- tcnts and the inmates were thrown in every direction. Poole was thrown ma- ny feet. into the air, and came to the ground with severe woumls and badly burned. The others found themselves at some distance on tho ground, their [bees and hands bully burned, and all were quite unrecognizable. They were brought. across the buy without. delay and medical aid summoned, and were soon made comfortable enough to un- dertake the journey home on the emo- inn train. It seems marvellous that they escaped with their lives. Fragments of boots and piccos of shattered pots were found two hundred yards from the tent. o--â€"â€"â€"~_.._ Russian Affairs. ST.
