His bombastic notice of the withdrawal of the ll’urtler‘s allegiance and powerful support is tempered by the most fnlsomc adulation of Sir John, whose career is (inferentially) asserted to be more il- lustrious than that of even Mr. Glad- stone ; and in the second article, in which the “ old chief” is offered an- other chance, he is informed that he “ must choose between the loyal disin- terested friends of yearsâ€"(like Bro. Hughes, for instance)â€"â€"and the expedi- ency creaturesâ€"(not like Bro. Hughes) â€"who consort with him simply for their own and their church's gain.” Further on we are told that“ Rome must and shall feel that she has reached the end of her tether; that she must recede. lfrcason will not bring her to her senses, then the ballot, and ifneces- sary the bullet and the bayonet, shall.” Surely Sir John will not. deluge the Dominion with blood by refusing to do as the ll'um’cr tells him.

NOW IS Your TlME,l........ world-wide fame as an author. andi o not know thatbe had ever published a sent to them from the States ; and his statement was borne- out, when they afterwards examined his library, by the discovery of several boxes full of manuscript ; but we have not. heard that they found so much as a single letter from any one of the English or American publishers with whom one ' would think he must have corresponded. The first novel he claims is called “ A Dreamer of Dreams ” 3 the second, “ Thoth,” and both are highly praised by the London and New York critics. “ Thoth " is for sale in Lindsay ; but. the name of the writer is net given, as it is said to be by the author of “ A Dreamer of Dreams." Among the mag- azines in which the poems by “ Leslie Prgue ” are said to have appeared is “ Harper’s Weekly " ; but a friend of ours who has the bound volumes for the past five years says that he has not been able to find the name in any one of them. Notwithstanding all this, the statements regarding Master Pogue may be quite true, and we hope they may prove so ; for Canada is sadly in need of a native high-class novelist, and the county of Victoria will feel proud of supplying the “ long-felt want.” The young author, like many other geniuses, did not greatly distinguish himself at school; and those who know him say that there would be no remarkable dif- ference between him and other boys of his age, were it not that his right side was partially paralyzed some years ago by a. sunstroke, in consequence of which he had to learn to write with his left hand. .-.- ,_._. .. .._.g... A Big Excursion. The union Methodist Sunday school excursion to Sturgeon Point took place, according to announcement, on Wed- nesday last, and was a great success, the palace scow Paragon being so load- ed with passengers that some of thorn could not find seats, and all were glad when their destination was reached. Nobody knows how many got on board at Fenclon Falls; but at Day’s Landing there were 90 by actual count, and more than double that number at Ball Point. The weather was as fine as could be desired, and the excursionists spent a few delightful hours 'under the trees at the Point, where several swings were kept in almost perpetual motion by the children for whose amusement they had been provided. With the exception of the time occupied in lis‘ toning to three short speeches, the whole afternoon was spent in various amuse- ments, and no doubt many of the youngsters were sorry when, at a little past 5 o’clock, the whistle of the steam- er Dominion intimated that they must stop their sports and re-embark for home. The day was not without its incidents. At starting time in the morning, at the Falls, one married lady arrived so nearly too late that. her baby had to be handed to a man on the deck of the scow, and she herself had to climb through the opening at the stern ; and at Sturgeon Point :1 little girl fell off a log into water about two feet deep, and was promptly hidden inside a bun- dle while her clothes were drying. The receipts amounted to nearly $70, which was very satisfactory, as all the Sunday school children went tree, and all the other children (without much regard to age or size) got tickets for 10 cents each. m Somerville Council. The council met at Rettie's Station this 20th day of July, 1889, pursuant to adjournment. Members all present, the rceve in the chair. The minutes of the Court of Revision of July 2nd were read, approved and signed by the chairman. Also the minutes of council of July 2nd were read, approved and signed by the reeve.

Mr. James Campbell got home last Saturday, after a month's holiday at Fergus and its vicinity. Miss Frost, of Orillia, who came to the Falls about a fortnight. ago, on a visit to her brother, left {or home yes- terday morning. Mr. A. J. VanNostrand, ofz‘rlloronto, returned home on Tuesday last, but Mrs. ViinNostrand remainedt at the Falls until this-morning. Mr. John Swanton .who‘is employed of Stsuhope, came to Mr. James Owens,,of Cil'en‘William, came to the Falls last Tuesday on a visit to his daughter, Mrs. Ghmble, and was accompanied by Mr. T. Norton. Mr. Wm. Avery, who went; to the States a few weeks ago, found that they were not to be compared to Fenelon Falls, and came back again last Monday. Mr. D. R. Weir is back again, to spend another instalment of his holi- days at the Falls. llc must be in love with the villageâ€"or with somebody in it. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Flood and Mr. and Mrs. Delamcre, of Toronto, who are summering at Sturgeon l’oint, spent an hour or two at the Falls on Tuesday afternoon. Mr. ll. Austin went to Toronto on Wednesday with a load of mixed live stock, consisting of 14 head of cattle and 60 sheep and lambs, and will be home on Saturday. C. J. Barr, one of the publishers of the Upper Canada College Times, Adam Fordyce Barr, sporting editor of the Lindsay Post, and “ Captain Jinks " Farr-er, son of the editor of the ’l‘oronto .llail, passed through the Falls last Tuesday on their way to Gull Lake. Mr. D. C. Woodman, forumrly a res- ident of this village, which he left. about ten years ago for Manitoba, is. visiting friends and relatives in Onta- rio, and was at the Falls from Monday afternoon until Thursday morning. For the past six years he has been Govern- ment Emigration Agent at Emerson and Gretna, but the olliccs at those places are now ClOSCL‘ll. Emerson is 150‘. miles fromWinnipeg andon the burden of Minnesota, and Gretna. is. 18- miles from Emerson. and. on the. border of Dakota. Mr. Woodman. snyethat tho" climate of'illauitoba. agrees with him: better than that» of Ontario, and he- certainly lookaremarkably well. The crops this season, he tells us, will not be much over half an average unless they have been helped by rain since he left. His immediate destination is Ot- tawa, and from there he will go to Prince Edward Island to visit a brother whom he has not seen for many years. F. B. An. Scornâ€"There was to have been a meeting of the directors of the Fenclon Branch Agricultural Society at the Falls on Wednesday evening ; but, in ceimequencc of several of them hav- ing gone on the Methodist excursion, there were not enough present to form a quorum, and no business could be transacted. The sec-treasurer, Mr. J. D. Naylor, reports that about eighty members have paid him their subscrip- tion, and we are looking for a good SlIOW here this fall. There appears to be some difficulty with the late treas- urer. What it is we do not know; but we have heard that. there is trouble in the air for somebody. THE CROPs.â€"From all quarters comor the most encouraging accounts of the condition of the crops. and two or three days ago we heard a Smncrville farmer say that he “never saw them better in. his life.” Some of the wheat is more- or less rusted, and $0th cithe barley is. discolored 3.,but, taken as awholc, tho: 'oropnwiii' yield: so abundantly that it" our country. subscribers rim not. square: upwith tho-Gazeltczhis year-they may‘ have to wait: a. long-while. boiore they! will be in as good a position to do r-o. Even buy, that some predicted would! be as scarce as it was last season, is. turning out fairly well, and is said to. be unusually plentiful in the surround- ing townships. Emmaâ€"According to all accounts the fishing this year is unusually good in our local waters, and one day last; week Mr. A. .‘chrthnr and Mr. John. Fitzgerald caught on fewer than forty- six bass in a comparatively short time. in Cameron Lake. And some “ big fellows ” are left yet, for two or three- weeks ago a maskinongo weighing 31 pounds was taken in Scugog Lake, and two 28-poucders were captured near Bobcaygeon. Though the majority of the bass caught here have been rather small, there have been some notable exceptions, for on Tuesday last Mr. R. J. Frost got one that Weighed 5 pounds,, mun.
