On Monday next, the 12'th of Aug- USlâ€"vâ€"tllc " little tweilth," we heard somebody call itâ€"thc leLst anniverstttsy of “ The Closingof the Gates of Derry " will.bc celebrated ona. mood scale in Fenclou Falls by the True Blues and Orangemen of the district. esterdaty large quantities of evergreens were btought to the village, and to-day work was commenced on the touches, of which there are to be fourâ€"one south of the river at Brooks’s hotel, another over the swing bridge, the third just north of Francis street, and the fourth near Dr. Wilson’s. The orators are toair their eloquence in Fitzgerald's grove, and, as far as speaking is concerned, the celebration is likely to be the best ever held in this village. M uclt interest is centered in Mr. John Charlton, M. P, who will be one of the craters, and is recognized as a very able man and a first-class speaker. Mr. John White, M. P., of Hastings, will also be present. Though a Conservative, he is talked of us the opponent of Mackenzie Bowell at the next general election, in conse- quence of Mr. Bowell’s sacrifice of Orange principles in the Jesuit quest tioa. What Mr. Barron, M. P., can do in the way of a speech is well known to all our readers ;, but on the coming occasion he may be expected to be of unusual interest, especially since the utterances of his Excellency the Gover- nor-General. Mr. McCarthy, M. 1)., cannot be present, which is greatly to be regretted, and Col. O'Brien, M. P., has not yet intimated whether he can come or not, but he is still expected. We are informed that, in consequence of the omission of M l‘. Barron from the list of; speakers at Lindsay on the 12th ofJuly, many of the Orangcmen and True Blues objected. to inviting Bro., Sam Hughes (who is. held responsible but Mr. Barron kindly interccded for him, and he was asked; to come. We need not say that a bit,r crowd is expect-. ed in town on Monday ;, and, for fear there should be more than the hotels will be able to accommodate, good din-. ners will be furnished at moderate prices at other places. Above the Falls. All who have visited the lakes above Fettelou Falls. have been enraptured with the scenery, and if the Grand‘ Trunk Railway Company could be int. duced to put the long-tulkedof swing in their bridge at the head of Fenelon River, and the Government to blast out the ledge .of rocks that impedes navigaâ€" tion, there would be a lively traffic. through the looks at this village, and Balsam Lake, with its broad expanse of water and numerous lovely little islands, would be as tnuclt frequented.- by pleasure seekers as the lower lakes now are. The only steamers above the falls are the Myrtle, owned by the Pulp. Mill Co., and kept constantly busy tow- ing, and Mr. Burgoyne's little Nobby, which will carry a dozen or fifteen pas- sengers; but if the swing were made and the channel cleared, the- numerous. passenger boats that can now come as for asthe falls and no farther would be admitted to the upper waters, and ex.- cnrsion parties from Lindsay, Bobcay- goon and this Village would have a- tnuch wider choice of places of resort. than they have at present. Balsam Lake is not only very large, but ex- ceedingly romantic. and as. it is well , stacked.wltll bas.~. and its shores. as well '35 those of its islands. abound in de- l . sirabie camping spots. it is to be regret- -, ted that, in consequence of the obstruc- tions at the head of Fcnclon River, nothing but. small craft can reach it. In Lindsay three or tour fortunate in- dividuals own steam yachts (as they are called). of the .anby class, which drew Very little water ',_und one of these, the Alkyd, went up through the locks here with a pleasure party on Tuesday morning and came back in the evening, and “ duplicated ” the trip on Wednes- day. All were delighted with the scene- ry. which is so enchanting that a few years ago a travelled tourist pronounced it equal to that of the far-famed lakes of Killarney in the Emerald Isle. The Authorship Question. Whether Leslie chue, of Little Bri~ tain, is or is not the author of “ Thorh " and “ A Dreamer of Dreams " is still an open question ; but we cannot help thinking that it will finally be decided in the negative. The Toronto .lluil, it appears. has received several letters on the subject ; and. alter quoting.' the par- agraph from the Lindsay Watchman, it says 2â€" “ It would be gratifying to learn on trustworthy authority that this story is true, and that a Canadian is the author of the two remarkable works in question There is good reason to belie\ c, however, that the ll'utcltmznt is misinformed. In the first place the two novels were originally published by Blackwood d: Sons, Edinburgh, with whom the Appletous arranged for their publication in America. The earlier of the two, ~’- 'l‘ltoth,”' first. came from. the press not less than a year ago, and is now in. its third edition. We learn on good authority that young Rogue is only fifteen years ofi‘age, and that up to-the beginning- of the present year he was a student at the Lindsay Collegiate Institute. 11 it. bc~true that he is the author of “ ’l‘hoth,” he must have written the bbok when lie was only thirteen years of age, which is. to say the least, most improbable. We are informed by Messrs. Appleton .k- 00., moreOver, that they have just received a letter fromthe Edinburgh publishers asking that all Am- erican press notices of the two books sltould be sent to them for the author, who is evi- dently, therefore, a resident of the United Kingdom. These and other circumstances afford good ground for the belief that the anonymous author is not Mr. Leslie Pogue. Still, until the name of the writer of the two novels is made public, it is im- possible to say positively that young Pogue is not the author. Ifâ€"as we heard stated in Lindsayâ€"the manu- script of“ ’I‘ltoth,” or even part of it. was actually found in his room after he had gone to the States, it would be strong presumptive evidence that ltc, notwithstanding his youth, is the antitâ€" or of the very remarkable book ; but the statement was ttot made in either of the Lindsay papers, and possibly has no foundation. But time will seen tell, and honour or obloquy awaits Gerald Leslie Marsdcu Poguc. “ There’s Blood on the Moon.’ ’i “ When Greek merits Greek then comes the tug of war.” Ditto when a Pogue meets a Coltner. Shakspearc tells us that long ago in Verona it was a casus belli to bite onc’s thumb at an- other man ;: but in this part. of the world at the present day biting the other fel- low's thumb, or his fingers either, is the fashion. At least it is with the. Pogucs, for about a year ago one of them chewed upthe thumb of‘a Coltner ; but that: the latter would use his teeth on a Pogue under fatorable circumstances we are not prepared to say. We hope not, as the fewer anthropophagi there are in this vicinity the better. From some reason or anotherâ€"probably u very frivolous one, but good enough for want of a betterâ€"the younger members of both families are at deadly variance ; and as the Colmch appear to have more friends-or, at any rate, more that are pugilistically inclinedâ€"than tlze Pogues, the latter are apt to have a rou:h time when they come into the Village after dark, especially as they appear to be as full of fight as game roosters, and. it is said, generally com- mence the. rumpus. Last Saturday night two rows were going on almost simultao neously; for while Constable Nevison was saving young Charlie l’ogue from a number of enemies in front of. Two- mey’s hotel, his (Charlie’s) elder brother George was engaged in a lively encoun- ter with One of the Beggs (sympathlscrs with the Calmers) under the shed at the rear. and uricvous bodily harm would probably have been done if the appear- ance of the constable had not put an end to the fight. Two or three of the Coltners were present; but did nouns far as we can learn. take a hand in. On Wednesday night a Pogue rushed at a Colmcr. grabbed him by the ccilar and made a vigorous attempt to punch his head; but. the. ions were promptly separated by several pence-loving citi- zens. “ There‘sblnnd on the moon " beyond a doubt, and it's gott to flow sooner or later. The only advice we l kill one of them, and then hang the enemies, or else permit a posse of Pogues to massacre one of their enemies. and then string up the Rogues. be laid at rest. A Fire Escape. Mr. D. M. Leary was at the Falls on. Wednesday putting one of his patent fire escapes at a third story window on‘ the south end of the McArthur: House.- The arrangement consists ofa neat. and substantial iron balcony, capable of holding about half a. dozen persons, and an iron ladder reaching from a short distance above the balcony to within labout six feet of the ground. The l ladder is made of separate links a foot wide and fifteen inches long; and. in order to prevent a burglar from using it as a means of access to the upper windows, it. is turned up a little below the middle and the bottom link is at‘ tached to a hook in the wall. The fire- escape has been put up, and every room- on the third story of the hotel has been provided with a coil of rope, in compli- ance with the requirements of tltc new license Act. There are several of Mr. Leary's iron ladders on buildings in this village ;,but mine host Ingram can boast of posschin: the original and only fire escape in Fenclon Falls. The balcony cost $25. and the ladder, which is thirty feet long, 50 cents per foot; but on dwelling-houses, when the lad- der- is not attached to the wall, but slopes from the roof or a window to tho- ground‘, the price is 40 cents. per foot. Mr. Leary patented his apparatus in. Canada. and the United States about five years ago ; but, not thinking it would be anything like as popular as it- hns proved, he sold the American pat;- ent- for a. mere trifle. Personals. Mr. Joseph A. Pritchard was at Star. geon Point on Thursday. Mr. Irwin Junkin, of Bobcaygeon, was at the Falls for a short time on Sat- urday last. M r. l). G. Smith, of Toronto, was at the Falls from Saturday evening until. Monday morning. Mr. Fred Green returned on Tuesday last from Port Perry, where he has. been for about two months. Mrs. W. T. Junkin, who went to. Robcztygeon on the 30th ult., returned On Saturday afternoon. Miss Sarah Jordon returned on Sat- urday from Peterborough, wheré she- has been visiting for about“. three weeks. Mr. James Arnold, book-keeper at Mr. Henry Austin’s, left last Friday evening for a fortnight’s holidays at Aylmer West. Mr. Rogers, of T’eterborough, Super- intendent of the Trent Valley Canal works, came to the Falls last Tuesday in tltc Steamer Empire. Mrs. Goulais and Miss. Sarah G0u~ 'ais, of‘ Bobcaygeon, accompanied by >0vural friends took a pleasure drive, to the Falls on Tuesday last. Mr. Davis Horton hasreturned from» Toronto toFenelon Falls, and has the position in. Mr. Brandon’s store recently vacated by Mr. James Jackson. Mr. John Austin, move of Fenelon, Falls, who has an interest in the saw- mill at Kinmount, started last Monday morning on a business trip to Rochester. Messrs. W. Jermyn, John Bowman, Thomas Belch, and Mac. McCallum left on Monday in canoes for a trip to. Bob Lake, a few miles from Mindcn, and will not be back until near the end. ofthc month. Mr. John St. Lawrence is back at the Falls, and is running: off B. Wright <\': Co's. stock of goods, recently purchased. by F. Kean, Son 8.: Co., of Lindsay. Mrs. St. Lawrence and her little boys came by Tuesday’s train, and will re- main for a few days. Mr. Samuel Swanton, for so many years one of our most prominent villa- gers, of which he was three times elect- ed rcevc, is now a resident of Toronto, in which city he bought a handsome dwelling house a short time ago. Mr. Swanton went north on Wednesday. and: his children, who are still at the Falls, will accompany him to their new home~ early next week. Mrs. Swnnbon lcft.‘ for Toroi to on the 30th ult. Mr. C. J. Smith, of Toronto, and Tic. two sisters, drove up to the Falls from. Sturgeon Point. on Tuesday and took the train for thenorth.
