The locks and canal are described as being in such a dilapidated condition as to require a thorough over- hauling and a new dam as an absolute necessity. This last is, in the opinion its ruinous condition, not. put even strong enough, as great fears are enter- } taincd that it will give way in the com- 3 ing spring flood; and should this be the jcusc, the consequeuCes to Bobcaygeou { and far down the river would be appal- Iling, as the whole weight of Sturgeon , Lake and the river from Lindsay would come upon them with the fury of an Alpine avalanche and carry everything 1 before it. It is most fervently to be i hoped that such a calamity may be u- ! varied by the darn holding it§ ground until a new one is built. How'thiugs have been allowed to get into such a dangerous condition is only to be ac- counted for by the pressure on the Pub- lic Works Department by other and more important. matters. Should any disaster occur. Sir Charles Topper may thank Mr. Hector Cameron for placing the Trent Works under his care. Mr. McKenzie, when he held the same of- fice. had agreed to transfer thcm‘to the Province of Ontario, as of right belong- ing to it; but to this Mr. Cameron obs jccted in a long and eloquent speech af~ ter Sir Charles had stepped into Mr. McKenzie's place. Some patronage was to be gained by the retention of these works, and not a little influence in the case of elections, and the conservatives being all-powerful in the Dominion par- liament, the works were retained undet- Sir Charle's Tupper‘s c‘are. M r. Mow- at's Government were weakened by this stroke of policy, but happin not over- throw-n. What was intended its an in- jury turns out. a fortunate thing for them, as they will be saved the trouble and expense of putting these works into an efficient condition. And should any disaster such as is anticipated arise froru their present defective state. the Ontario l‘lovcrnmcnt will escape all blame, which will fall on the Public Works Depart~ nrent of.t.hc Dominion,.nnd Mr. Carne- ron will irtcur censure, from pll sides, but more c'spcciully'from his own politi- cal friends.

(Correspondence of the Gazette.) The elections being now over, tltc usual path of every-day life is again be- ing trodden by most of us. I believe you have found my prognostications as regards the election fully borne out, not‘ withstanding that this township gave Mr. Peck a larger majority than on the former occasion. We have now to ac- cept the situation as we find it, and Mr. Fell will be able to perform all his promises towards us, which both oppo- nents and supporters believe he will honestly endeavour to do. There never was a better opportunity for a newly elected member, being on the opposition benches, as Mr. Fell will be, to acquire popularity amongst. those who voted 3- guinst him. Let. Mr. Fell successfully exert himself to get aid for the railway extension intended to promote mining in these townships, and settlers of all shades of politics will assist him to keep M. P. 1’. after his name when he comes back for rc-clcction. We are now daily expecting our post-muster and hotel- kcepcr Mr. Way and his wife from Eng- land, where they have spent the past three months. We are apparently on the point of a thaw, which is much needed, for the snow has materially in- jured many of us, beingr so deep that all work in the Woods is suspended, especi- ally in the swamps, which have been for many weeks inaccessible, and where- in thc generality of men who do not. go out. to shanty work have most of their interest in the shape of a few tics, poles Sic. There has been no winter to equal this during my six years here. We are hoping and expecting news from Mr. Pusey concerning the iron ore which was to be taken from one of our large tnincs here for testing purposes, which has been delayed solely by a trifling sum of about ten dollars not being included in the estimate of costs. On that test depends a large item in our future hopes. I still cling to my former as. sertions (as progress is gradually being made) that before long an industry will exist here the mention of which four years ago would have‘ caused many knowing ones to laugh and ridicule the idea.

What the row was about we have not. been able to find out; but a dispute arose between two or three half drunken men, whom a num- ber of sober ones were trying to pacify, and the whole lot of them argued and shrugged their shoulders and gesticulao ed as only Frenchmen can. The only one who got lturt was one of the origi- - nul disputants, who was twice knocked down by a stout 1nd aged about 17, named Christian, whose coat he had torn, and who wasn't a good enough Christian to stand that. They sny’hc is a Frenchman, and he expressed his opinions in French. but he certainly knocked down in English. Of course he instantly became a hero, and while he was undergoing'admiration his op- ponent left for home and the row soon nftcr terminated. The Country Ncwspaper. Referring to the country journalist, Geo. Peck, of Milwaukee, says: “ When we think of_ the hard drudgery that these enterprising indefatigable workers do in a week, and the small-amount of thanks and cash they reCeive in return, we feel as though something was wrong somewhere. Whyisit that in many localities the people do not appreciate the importance of a. good. newspaper, and sustain it. by a liberal patronage ? thus making it a better paper, is one of of the most: unaccountable things in the world. we have no urgent cull uowto say what. we do; but. we tell people in every laculity where a paper is publish- ed, no matter how small and insignifi- cant. the paper may be, that every do! lar they pay it for subscriptimrs or 'n- dicious advertising puts two dollars cash in their owu pockets. We have figured on it and we know. It may not, look so on the face, but it is very deceiving. Lots of schemes that look as though they had millions in them, like the man who is sure he can pick out the right. card in three monte, fail to return any thing like millions, while other schemes, that do not appear to amount to any- thing scarcely. pan out whole handsful of nickcls unexpectedly. And the coun- try newspaper is one of this class. Sub- scribe for your paper and pay for it in advance, and if you feel at the end of the year that you haven't got your mo- ney's worth, then your fortune is tnadc. You can go to the museum and get 85,000 it yegr as a curiosity." ...â€"W Adulteration of Food. Tito Bobcaygcon Independent says: -â€"-Wo have received a cmnmunicution from a farmer-who resides in the neigh- bohrhood, stating that one day last week he took a small dose of what was bought for Cream of Tartar. Shortly after taking it he was seized with a. se- vere illness, which continued for nearly two days. His suspicious aroused us to the purity of the drug fropr its strange taste, he submitted it to Dr. McCamus, who examined it, and found that it eon. tnined but. a very small'proportion of Cream of Tartar. It. is not supposed that the retail dealers adultcratc such things as this, the guilt. most. probably lies with the wholesale dealers. Be it as it may, it is certain that adultero- tiou is carried to It very great and dan- gerous extent, and that a general system of inspection by public analysts is most desirable in the interests of the people. If it is proper that we should be pro- tected from being cheated, by a host of Weight and Measure Inspectors, is it not of vastly greater consequence that we should be protected from fraud, im- position and poison. Ifour legislatures would give less attention to the retain- ipg or nblnining of the political flpsh pots, and more to such matters as this, it. would be much greater to their cred- Scsrtctovs.â€"It is generally believed l “I “d I" but" I" the “Mn-l” of the 2nd concession between lots 29 by the Reformers in this riding~und and 30, and to open a road in lieu there they do not hesitate declare ttâ€"thut ' of to run from the. present forced road i the large majority against Mr. Peek at the late election was the result of down- ,iport of this theory they adduccâ€"n- 3‘ north, is number of persons who alleged, 1 as late as nomination day, that they 2 could not meet their taxes or store sc- lcounts, have since I rfalfng.

Pnrunmmm, March Sunâ€"Catha- rine Mctzger this morning struck her employer, Mrs. May, while the latter was in bed, several blows on the head with a hatchet, then fractured the skull of Mrs. May's child, aged eight months, with a bottle. Mrs. May's cries brought a policeman. It. is believed the woman will recover. but the child will die. The girl is aged 18 and came from Germany three months ago. She had only been a week in the employ of the May furni- ly, and gives no reason for the assault except that she was prompted several days ago to do it. She rusein the mid- dle of the night and went. to the cellar after the hatchet. The investigation shows that the servant seized her mis- tress by the hair and beat her on the head with the blunt end of the hatchet. A desperate struggle ensued. Mrs. .‘lny wrenched the hatchet. from Catharine's hand, and the girl then soiled a” bottle of bay rum and flung it at Mrs. May, missing her, but. striking the inf-.int in the crib. The struggle between the women \recommeuced, and ended by Mrs. May throwing the servant out of the room and locking the door. The L’Il‘l then went to bed, where the police found her. lâ€"o An Assassin’s Death. MILWAUKEE, “larch 9.â€"â€"A story is published in an evening paper to-night which caused 'a great. sensation, and cs- pccially among the Irish-American citi- zens. A few days ago Michael Holmes, an Irishman who had been here but a short. time, died. Little is known of him before his death, though a few nc- qnaintanccs that he made regard him as tr. man with whose history there seems to be some mystery connected, as he was reticent concerning himself. He uarrellcd with another Irishman nom- ed Patrick Johnson, and received stabs which caused his death. After being wounded, and before death be partially took a fellow-countryman, .namcd Nick Fitzgerald, into his confidence. His story is now made public for the first time. He told Fitzgerald that. with three accomplices he secretly escaped from London the night after the Phoe- nix Pnrk murder, and after coming to this country the four men reparatch He could not be brought. to soy-tlrnt’ho participated in the assassination, but was in fear of detection, and said some of the men charged with the murder were innocent. He admitted that. he had not. even written home to his wife for fear the English detectives would be on his truck. The general belief is that he was connected with the assassi- nation.
