The fact. is, the North- West bubble is beginning to burst. and the people of Ontario are becoming con. vincudâ€"tnany of them, unfortunately. from bitter experienceâ€"that tlmsc who leave this province in the hope of bet. tering themselves in Manitoba or any adjacent territory are very apt to make a great mistake. In nearly all the old- er “ eitits " ol' the Xurtanest business failures are becoming of alarming fre- quency; the chances nfutaking 337.500 (which so many used to make) by dab bliug in real estate are getting very scarce; and farming out there is at. it what. we read and hear be true, free frotn the vcxntions that attend it every- where, and has severel serious ones pc- culiar to that loctlity. Therefore, put- ting this and that and t’ttther together, we are inclined to think that “ Ontario forever f " ottght to be the motto of all of its inhabitants who have not. some es- pecially good and exct-pioual reason for leaving it. There are openings here yet for the rising generation of» mer- chants and mechanics, and surely there is land enough for those who .wish to engage in the toast useful and healthful of all occupations~farmiug. For stock fling there is Iiuliburton, or some similar district, and those who prefer ordinary mixed farming are told by Mr. John Day, Ontario Government Land ~ Agent at Bruce. Mines. that there is an abundance of excellent land to be had in the ndjoinittg townships at 20 cents an acre, and that a man can actually purchase it good farm for the $30 which he can there obtain for a month's la- bour in the harvest field. Fish Culture. The artificial propagation of.-fish, which has for years pasf been carried on at. numerous hatcheries, is pronounc- ed tt failure as far as any practical re- sults are concerned. An article on the subject, expressing regret that so much money had been wasted, appeared itt the Globe of the 28th ult., and in its issue of the 18th inst. a writer who signs himself ”Sportsman " not only endorses every word of the editorial al- luded to, but declares that the hatcher- ies are worse than useless, as a great many of the adult. fish manipulated therein die of the treatment. they re- ceive. There is no trouble in hatching young fish by‘the thousandâ€"or million either. ifrequiredâ€"nud a great many of them live and thrive as long as they (lllt’lNlCll, Physician, Surgeon, kc, kc. are kept. in the nursery; but. the trouble 1‘ Residence. llrick Cottage, Wellington Bll't't'l, Lindsay.

Several years ago (long before the fire which destroyed our files of the Gazette) an agent from the Newcastle establishment liberated two or three cnnsful of fry in or near Cameron Lake, and that was the last. of them, though a solitary fish. three or lottr inches long. which was supposed to be one of them, was found dead some years afterwards. As no better success has attended similar experiments else- where, lt is concluded that success,is impossible, and the abolition of the hatehories is beginning to be talked of; but perhaps it. is somewhat too soon to advocate so sweeping a measure. It is clear, however, that the system hitherto pursued in spite of repeated failures must. be modified if not entirely aban- doned ; and with it view of discoiering, if possible, how far that. system is right. and where it begins to be wrong, one or two of the hutcherles might. be allowed to exist. a few years longer, until it man ifested its ability or had to confess its inability to do better than in the past. o New Buildings. The Gazette of the _7tlt inst. cantain~ ed a tolerably full description of the l’ulp Mill Co's buildings in this vil- lage; and, lost outsiders should imagine that if it were not for thatcompany and the canal our industrial classes would be suffering from lack of employment, \\‘t.' now briefly notice the stores, dwell- ings, tkc., being put. up by private indi- viduals. 0n the west side of Colborne street and south of the McArthur block, Mr. Wm. Jordan is erecting two line new stores, 46x75 feet and 28 feet high. The back and south end are stone and the front is red brick. faced with white. 0n the north they join the building recently purchased by Mr. Jordan from Mr. St. Michel, and to this an addition 20:25 feet has been built, in order to make it correspond in depth with the others. The contract price for the new block, which is being erected by Mr. Edward Haw, is $2,000. - Mr. Joseph McArthur, our enterprisn in: reeve, who is said by all his tenants to be a model landlord, is spending a little fortune on improvements on his} hotel property. Not long ago he built a large addition to his stores; then he added a billiard room to the McArtbur House; and now he is not only putting up a stone stable, 40x100 feet and 18 feet high, but is luclming over half an acre behind the hotel with a stone wall two feet thick and eight feet high, and. when that is finished, will put. up new sheds in place of the old ones and cover the most used portion of the yard with a thick layer at broken stone. The Sta. blc alone, which looks as if it will stand a thousand years, will cost at least $1,- 400 ; but how much what Mr. .‘lanti~ lini would call the “ dem‘d total " will amount to Mr. McAtthur doesn‘t know and certainly doesn't appear to card. On the lot north of Mr. Net-isom- harucss shop, on the cut side of Col- tome street, Mr. Joseph Heard, who recently purchased the property, is mak- gtng forpthltious to erect a two story, _‘_.. substantial driving shed, 35x45 feet and 13 feet high at the eaves, with a loft above. The centre of the shed is floored with two-inch plank. and the space at each side is being filled up to the level of the flooring with broken stone from the canal, topped off with gravel. The carpenter work is being done by Mr. Edward Haw, and the cost of the whole will be about 8500. At. the corner of May and Francis streets the new oflice fot the Gazette is - approaching completion. It is of brick on a stone foundation, one story high, and measures 20x32 feet. The walls are plastered inside and then stripped and luthed and plastered again, and the outside will receive two coats of plaster and be marked off into blocks, in the hope of inducing distant observers to believe that it. is constructed of marble. The shingles are laid in mortar, and the Gazette hopes that when in its new quarters it will be able to set frost and fire at defiance. The stonework, brick- work and plastering were done by Mr. lukpiu and the carpenterwork by Mr. llaw. The building will cost some thing less than $400 and will be finish- cd in about a fortnight, except the out- side plastering, which is to be put on when the weather gets cooler.

It; is a wooden building, but. is to be veneer ed with brick, and when finished will have a handsome appearance. As an additional protection against cold, all the outside walls are lathed and plaster- ed between the studs, the cost of which will no doubt be saved in fuel in a very few winters, especially as cordwood is rapidly rising in price. All the work on it. has been done by the day, Mr. Robson thinking that he would tints have a better house, if not it cheaper one, than by letting contracts. Mr. Thomas Littleton has the carpenter work and Messrs. Barker & Broad the stenework and plastering. The total cost, as far as is at. present, known, will be about $1,600. Go Queen street Mr. Thomas Robson Sr. is building a neat. frame house on his acre lot. nearly opposite the Fitzger- ald homestead. It. is 24x34 feet, a story and a half high, with kitchen attached, the whole on a stone foundation. It is lathcd and plastered between the studs and the outside is covered with inch lumber and will soon be clapboarded. The work is being done by M r. 'l‘hos. Littlcton, carpenter, and Messrs. Barker &. Broad, masons and plasters. The cs tiuntted cost is $750. On Francis street cast Mr. John Aus- tin is building a 20x30 feet-story and a half frame dwelling house on the quar- ter acre lot. he lately purchased from Mr. Thomas Robson. There is also a kitchen 18x20 feet with cellar below The stone foundation was built by Mr. Thomas Levis, the carpenter work is being done by Mr. Joltu Craig, and Mr. Inkpin will do the. plastering. The cost 'of the house will be about $800, and it can be let. at a paying rent. tlto moment it. is ready for an occupant. The above buildings are all north of the Fcnelou river, and are the only new oneswc know of this side of the stream except those belongiuqsto the Pulp Mill ’Co , and they have already been noticed. South of the river, On Lindsay street, Mr. Wm. Routly is building a stone wall, two feet thick and eight feet high, running west 85 feet from the north-west. corner of his hotel and then south 23 feet to the stn. ble. About. 25 feet of the length will be occupied by a summer kitchen, etc., and the remaining 60 feet. will form a driving shed. Messrs. Wise and Pud- dycoutb are doing the masonry ; the Icttrpcntcr work has not yet been cont- menced. | On llclcn street Mr. Alexander Mc- Leod has a nice little framo dwelling house nearly finished. It is 21x26 feet, a story and a half high, with kitchen 14x20 feet. Mr. Inkpin is doing the plastering, and the doors and window sash were bought ready made ; but all the other work was done by Mr. Mc- Leod himself and done well too, altho' he was never for a day under a carpen~ tcr's instructions in the handling of tools. Mr. McLeod was not at the building when we went to look at. it, and neither his father nor Mr. Inkpiu cottld tell us the probable cost. On an acre lot not far from Mr. Mc~ Lt-od‘sa small but comfortable dwelling in about to be built to! an. Charles llarling. It will be 20x24 feet, a story and a half high, with a stone founda tion and cellar. Mr. Thomas Littletou has the carpenter work, and the mason- ry and plastering will probably be done | by Messrs Barker ti: Broad. The cost l is estimated_at $450. The above is sufficient to show that building operations are not. by any means at a standstill in Fenelon Falls. { Next. season Mr. McArthur's pork pack- ? ery- will be erected, and very likely an- other store or two and some houses, for , the population ofthe village is increas- ing, and we believe there is not at the present. moment an empty habitable 5 building in the place. a. .. ,_, .... .. . . . a Village Council.

CIIOLERA.â€"Dt'. B. G. Jenkins, who claims to be the most infallible cholera prophet extant, predicts that. before this year closes the dread disease “ will be making ravages in every quarter of the globe." If it gets to Fenclon Falls it will be a bad thing for the people of the village, which contains many dirty back' yards, shallow cesspools and swampy spots which are dangerous to health at. all times, and especially so when any- thing of the nature of cholera is around. PERSONALâ€"Barber &. Ellis's drug and stationery business in this village was wound up a few days ago and the shop in McArthur‘s block is now va cant. Mr. Edward Fitzgerald, who managed the business for the proprie- tors, has gone to Buffalo, where he has obtained employment; but many pre- dict that he will find it. impossible to stay away from the Falls, as he has spent. nearly all his ltfe here, is an effi- cient member of the eouttcil and the school board, issuer of marriage linens es, 853.. and, moreover, was especially valuable as on of the none too numer- ous eligible bafitelors in the village. A PULL-Bacxrlmst Tuesday even- ing one of the canal horses was pulled backward by a cart-load of stone which was about to be dumped on Mr. McAr- thur's lot on Francis street, and fell or rolled to the foot. of the embankment. on which it was working. The distance, four or five feet. was not. great; but the poor animal's descent was over an in- clined plane of‘b‘rokett and jagged rock, and it was covered with scratches. some of considerable depth. It was held down by the shafts of the cart. for several minutes, during which period it groan- ed repeatedly, but was able to go to work again as soon as it was on its feet. A Rsrntonnaron.-â€" Last Tuesday Messrs. McDougall 5‘. Brandon Bros. re- ceived from Toronto and set up in their grocery a Withrow A: llilloek’s patent Arctic Refrigerator, which cost, includ- ing freight, very nearly one hundred dollars. Being quite a handsome arti- cle, it is an additional attraction to the establishment, but it. was for use, not ornament, that it was purchased, and the customers of the enterprising firm will no longer suffer the annoyance, in hot weather. of receiving their butter in a half melted condition, as it will be kept just belrw the freezing point in the refrigerator, which is large enough to contain a very considerable quantity of such articles as require to be kept at l a cool temperature ; and we understand‘ that McDougall Jr. Brandon Bros. are making arrangements to secure a con- . slant supply of fresh fish, now that they have the means of preserving it.

A GRAZING COCATKTâ€"A PLACE FOR sum FARMERSâ€"T83 PESNSYLVANIA 0P ONTARIO. (From the T Junta Globe.) Mr. J. B. Palmer, a native of Berk- shire, who has been residing for the past eight. years in Haliburton, is now in the city. He has been farming a free grant of 200 acres of land taken from the On- tario Government, and is most enthusiâ€" astic abbot that portion of the country, predicts for it. a brilliant future, and strongly urges his countrymen to settle’tn this rich grazing district, which is well watered, and which will shortly be opened up more thoroughly by the extension of the railway line now exist. ing and the construction of new ones. This tract has so far been principally occupied by lumbermen, who have little or no inclination for or knowledge of practical farming. and who, when once they have cleared the land of its timber, migrate further northwards. In saute places blocks of land varying in extent from 300 to 300 acres .are to be had at extraordinarily low prices. M r. Palmer states that the average price of 8200 re- presents the present valuo of a home- stead of 100 acres, together with un‘or- dinury dwelling house and its appurten- ances. lie considers that the luxuri- ance of the pastures is such as will allow of a hundred acres supporting 250 sheep the year round. Dutch clover is indi- genous to the soil, and grows without- needing in large quantities. English farmers who are grazing their flocks on the chalk hills of Hampshire and on the barren wastes of Nortltumberland and Cumberland will find Haliburton an El Dorado. As an instance, he points out that. he has lately seen sheep in the dis- trict he speaks of so fat as to be almost unfit for the slaughter house. He is of opittien also that lialibttrton, which is at. present. attached to North Victoria. is destined to become the Pennsylvania of the Province, as tltc townships of Glamorgan, Cardill', Monmouth and Faraday abound in mines rich in iron ore. As a market. farmers will have the lumbermen, whilst. they can make Jhc purchases of impletncnts and other requisites at. Toronto prices. plus the freight. The country is easily reached from Port. Ilopc, and all information can be gleaned from Mr. C. R. Stewart, the Crown Lands Agent. - Hard on Dakota. A Wisconsin man, who has tried his hand in Dakota, has returned home and expresses his views in the following terms 2â€"“ Many writers to papers in this section have talked loud and long in regard to the wonderful land of Da- kota. of its great. advantage over other localities. This kind of talk from those who have gone there and are unable to get back, does very well. They speak of Dakota as being wonderful, of the free lands, of the magnificent soil, etc. I want. to write a few plain facts in re- gat'd to this country, and the first. is in regard to free homes. In the first, place we will talk of pre-emptious. it will cost. you to get on to a preemption $100 and the fare in going there. The next item is the claim agents, which will be from $50 to $75. You have then _got to stay there six months ; your time is worth $30 per month. When yott prove up you have got to pay 3200; your claim shanty will cost. yott $50 ; your six acres of breaking up, 830; it. all amounts to $365. A homestead will cost. you to go thch 8100 ; the balance of fitting up about the some as a pre ctuption and five years‘ time at $30. a mouth, in all about 31.800. A free claim will cost you at. least $300, by the time you get your trees grown, if trees will grow at all there. If the land is as poor there as it. is in Beadle coun- ty, I have my doubts about their grow- ing at. all. If they can raise two crops of white beans there in succession, I shall have to see it. to believe it. And then you have such splendid water there; you can get it out of the Jim river, hauled right to your door, for 20 cents a barrel. The railroads cannot. supply the demands of the people in re- gnt-d to lumber, and there is nothing for mechanics to do there. There are more than 150,000 people in the terri- tory looking for homes. and a great. many are going to find them at a cost. of a cleared up and improved farm in any country."â€"â€"Chicaqo Nortlt-ll'crlern Lumbcrmun. - The Corrupt ractices Bill. Nttw Yontr. July 15.â€"â€"The Tribune's London special says zâ€"Tltc Corrupt Practices Bill, which passed thro' Com- mittcc yesterday, has occupied the at- tention of the Commons duting the past three weeks. The bill is intended to protect the electors, not. only from temp- tations of bribery, but from every spe- cies of undue influence. It is made a penal ofieucc to offer a voter meat, drink or entertainment with a view to obtain- ing his vote. The proposed law also seeks to shield him from every other influence which may warp hisjudgment. The question of spiritual intimidation has been debated with considerable en- ergy. and has caused another rent in the Liberal ranks. Arthur Arnold and other philosophical Radicals believe that spiritual intimidation, not involving physical injury and loss, is beyond the jurisdiction of the law. They argue that ifa priest or minister thinks that either party is pursuing a course which is absolutely wicked, he is bound to de- oounce that party. He may feel it his duty to oppose a candidate supporting such a line of conduct. Suppose, they say. a priest. threatens to excommuni- catc his flock from the communion. It. may be his duty from his point of view to do so, and all that should be denounc- ed and rendered penal is the unprin’ cipled use of such influence. But how i can such a qua-lion be tried. There. is obviously no Court capable of cuter- , ing into the point of view from which, in the mind of the minister or ecclesi- tic, action may be right or wrong. Con- sequently, they argue, the only proper course is to exclude spiritual influence from the operation of the bill.
