The Water-Street Litigation. Amongst the chancery court proceed- logs published in last Thursday's Globe we find the following: Re TRENT VALLEY CANAL.-â€"Fenelnn The Chancullor being of opinion that neither the corporation of Fenelon Falls nor R. C. Smith was entitled to Compensation for the expropriation of Water‘street. inasmuch as he considered the soil and freehold of the street. in question was vested in her Majesty. and that there- fore the Attorney-General of Ontario wasu necesmiry party to the proceedâ€" ings, he therefore directed him to be added as a party. and gave the parties leave to rcâ€"arguc the matter on his be- ing.' brought before the Court. There is some discussion going on in the village as to what. the above may mean, and the most sanguine, who con- slrue it into a victory for the corpora- tion over Mr. Smith, have visions ofzt speedy payment into the municipal treasury, of the 83,000 compensation for Water street. To us â€"though we confess that our opinion on complicated legal questions isn't. worth muchâ€" it appears to mean more delay, more liti- gation and more costs; and all we feel at all certain of is, that. the lawyers will make :1 good thing of it. no matter who wins or loses. North Victoria Voters’ List. We have received the following from Adam Iludspetlt, Q. 0.. of Lindsay, Revising Officer for the North Riding of the County of Victoria: 7'0 the Editor of the Gazette. Sta :â€" At the meeting of the Revising Officers held recently at Toronto the fol- lowing resolutions were passed 2 “That in the organized districts no name shall be added to the preliminary list which does not appear on the last revised Assessment. Roll, or lust revised List. of Voters, unless an application is made in writing by the person desiring to be added, or by some one in his be- half, disclosing grounds which would [n't'mu/ncie entitle him to be put on the preliminary voter's list, and the said ttpnlication be filed with the Revising Officer." “ That the Revising Officer. in receiv- ing the application mentioned in the next preceding resolution, shall act. only upon the same when it. is supported by a statutory declaration, or such other evidence as may reasonably satisfy the mind of such returning officer." I intend to adopt. these resolutions in the preparation) of my list of voters for the North Riding of the County of Vic- toria, and any person desiring to have his name placed upon the roll will re quire to send to me at Lindsay or to my clerk, Mr. G. A. Jordau,at Fenelon Falls, the uecesmry declaration bcforc the tenth of February next. My office as revising officer will be in Jordan's block, Fcoclon Falls, where Mr. G. A. Jordan will be to receive such applica- tion or to give any information that parties may require. Yours truly, ADAM lluosrsru. Revising Ojicer. 'W'. o. T. U. (Communicated) Early last week we were startled to hear that. a fellow being had been found frozen to death almost. within the pre~ cinets of our village; that be was in a state of helpless intoxication when leav- ing for home. and, in conscqucnce, fell upon the road. and became so chilled and fr. zen that death ensued; and the man who. a few hours before. entered our village walking firmly and erectly and in his right. mind, was a piece of lifeless clay. and I. pitiful illustration of We expect- cd that there would be an inquest. and I that those who mid him the poison that deprived him of reason and strength, and rendered him incapable of guiding his tottering fmuteps, would be requir- ed to give an account of themselves. and be nude to feel that they were di mtly instrumental in coming his death. Nothing of the kind i No notice is tak- en! II he Vere ‘ dog the occurrence by Austin. Thlt the IOIIO'IDgl could scarcely be passed over more lightly. One account. cent to the Press. says he had too much " hot Scotch." and in our own local paper, in I still milder form, we are told that the doctor in attendance said his death was ocea- oiooed by his being inauficicntly clad. So is passed over an occurrence which we foolishly imagined would arouse a feeling that every lover of right and Inter of wrong, every friend of humanity. of temperance. and of social I’clkbtlng, woc d come to the from end do what they could in this matter. We are mic- eubly disappointed. and feel at 3 loss to tomcat for tbll strange Ipnthy; on. it». (and the unwelcome conviction for- ces itself upon as.) that the tau victory half drunk and quarrclsnmc. and one of whom seized a stick of storewood to ‘ strike the husband and father. His wife rushed between to save her hus- band. and received the blow on her i head. Stunned and bewildered, she ; ran out, into the dump night air, and ' remained out all night. The blow and subsequent exposure caused her death. There was an inquest. and the doctor’s evidence went to show that she died from exposure while insufficiently clad, and the jury gave their verdict in ac- cordance with this evidence, which was quite true as far as it wuut. But dill it meet the case ? Was this man not as guilty of her death as though she had fallen dead at. his feet. ? Yet he went unpunishcd, and it was supposed that the law-abiding community were fright- ened into trembling silence by the loud oaths and big boots of the roughs; which, if true. was simply disgraceful cowardice. Yet. we do not think it. would be fair, in this case, to charge our friends with cowardice; that would probably be doing injustice. It. is more probable that familiarity with these things has rendered them callous. and this story, pitiful enough to make angels weep, produced no effect. All must. ad- mit that had the man been able to guide himself he would have walked home as safely as he catne into the vil- lage, and also that drink was the cause of his lying on the road in the helpless condition described, and very probably the cause of his being insufficiently clad. Ilad the much abused Scott Act. been in force this could not have happened. The man would doubtless be living a sober and useful life with his now orphaned children, and those who sold him the abominable poison would have some better occupation, which would benefit. themselves and others. and upon which they could ask God's blessing. l lOnce more, we beseech all good loan and women to make a united effort to remove this curse, which seems to be killing everything that is good among us. Skating Carnival. The_first skating, carnival of the sea- son in this villase was held in Mr. Finn's new rink last; Wednesday even- ing according to announcement, and was well attended. although the evening was so stormy that no doubt. many were prevented frotn attending. The riuk was handsomely decorated with flags and evergreens, and lighted with Chi- nese lanterns. There was quite a num‘ ber of spectators, and as all paid for admission the carnival was a success pecuniarin as well as otherwise.

TIIE ALL ABSORBING ‘IOPIC IN BRITISH POLITICS TO-DAY. Loxnox, Jan 16.â€"Thc Timer recog- nizes that the Irish question must re-- ceive the attention of the new Parlia- ment. In a spirited leading article it urges the necessity of the Conservative party at once facing the issue. It. says the Conservatives cannot shirk or post- pone their action. If they attempt to remain in office without making a vig- orous effort to grapple with the Irish difficulty, it. will result itt their prompt. and unequimcal condemnation. Uni- versnl scorn will be their portion if they give their opponents a chance to over- throw tltem without staking their exist- ence on a bold defence' of the union. Such a course would be worse than a blunder. It would be a crime. The Government would not hesitate to chal- , lengc the verdict of the House of Com- mons. On the question ofltome rule, it cannot be doubted that. they would obtain an immense majority in favor of maintaining the integrity of the Empire. .___-â€"â€"â€"â€"o - o Sufferng in Ireland. \VIIILE TIII‘} POLITICIANS ARE QUARIIEL- INC A FAMINE TIIIIBATENS THE LAND.

Iiiâ€"The Earl of Car- narvon, lord-lieutenant of Ireland, dc- clurcs that parliament will not. help to relieve the dreadful distress prevailing among the inhabitants of Achill nud I‘laglcsltead on the west coast, of Ireland. Lord Caruarvon adds that his sole reli- ance for affording relief to the starving people is the limited means at. his dis- posal of sending uufortunatcs to the workhouso. He. however, hopes that private contributions for the relief of the sufferers will enable the poor people to remain in their homes instead of be- ing compelled to seek shelter in already much overcrowded workltouses.

Without a gun, without any cont- pauiou but. a friendly dog, without any weapon but. an average-sized pocket- knife and a pole. this hero of a hundred contests with beasts climbed the large fir-tree. and after a desperate struggle succeeded in killing the cougar. Old pioneers here say it is the largest cougar ever killed in the Cow Crock mountains. The wounds which Mr. 8. received were very slight. -0 A Narrow Escape.
