Lindsay exploded with terrible effect. All We have been able to learn is, that the mill was utterly wrecked, and that the man in charge, Robert Powles, 0t Fenelon, well known to many of our readers, was blown through the roof, and, of course, instantly killed. Con sidcrable damage was done to surround- ing buildings, and two or three persons were slightly injured by flying frag- ments of the wreck. Mr. Powlcs left a wife and three or four young children. Heroism Rewarded. The pleasing ceremony of presenting Mr. Andrew Sutherland, station master l at this village, (who saved a boy from drowning on the 11th of May.) with the silver medal awarded by the Royal Hu- mane Society and a very handsome and valuable gold-headed cane, the joint. gift of a number of his admirers, tool: place in Ingram's hall last. Friday evening. The chair was occupied by Mr. Thomas Robson, president of the Mechanics‘ In stitutc, who took a forward and active part in procuringa fitting recognition of Mr. Sutherland’s heroism. Mr. John A. Barron, M. P., had been asked to present the medal, and came to the Falls for that purpose; but, by a happy thought, it. occurred to him to request Mrs. Archer (whose son Mr. Sutherland saved) to act as his substitute as far as the actual presentation was concerned, and that lady willingly consented. Mr. Barron made a nice little speech, neither too long nor too short, in the course of which he remarked that the brave act about tobe rewmdcd conld be best. ap- preciated by those who knew the local- ity and the dangers of the waters below the falls. His peroralion was “ The mother is here in her joy, and- I shall transfer to her the honor offered to me. and ask her to pin this handsome med- al upon your breast ” ; which Mrs. Archer immediately did, amidst loud and prolonged cheering. Mr. James Dickson, in a brief but neat address, presented the gold headed cane, and told the recipient that the people felt great pride in calling him a felloweitizen. He contrasted the hero- ic acts of warfare with those performed in cool bload,.and without the incentive of battle, by peaceful citizens, and ex- pressed the opinion that the latter were the more deserving of praise. Mr; Sutherland returned thanks, as well as his feelings would allow. for the honour done him, which he vainly tried to make his hearers believe-was more than he deserved. His few. remarks were frequently. interrupted by applause, and, when he resumed his seat, he- was fairly overwhelmed with cheers. At the conclusion of the speaking. the audience,at the suggestion of the chairman, rose- and sang God Save the Queen, led by Mrs. A. WiISon, and then the village band played two or.- three selections, which terminated the- pro cecdiugs. A Bad Spot. ' Last Friday evening, after the train going north had passed a small sheet. of water known as Little Lake. about four miles beyond Kinmount, a portion of the track sank so much that traflie' over it W'i< iiupossinle and has not yet I been resumed. The spot is a very bad i one. bring a sort of quagmireâ€"or; “ siuk~hole," as some not. inaptly term it-â€"and the track was laid on piles, which extended a short distance above the ground. As it has needed mnstant attention. the railway authorities de- cided to till the space below the track l with earth and gravel, and the work: was commenced a few days ago; butl the weight of the material thrown inl caused the piles to spread. and downE rent. the track as a. matter of course; Over a hundred men are now working at the spot, which has absorbed such an immense quantity of ballast that the superintendent has resolved to try the (flier. of some titty or sixty carlmds of old ties, some of which have already been thrown in. It they fail. We don't . know what will be done, and we. have not yet met anybody able to tell us; but no doubt: the difficulty will be over- come some way or another. At present two trains are runniug,,one north and i the other south of the break, which it is to be hoped will not prove as serious as it at present appears to- bc. Blasting the Shallows. Owing. to adverse weather, the work of deepening the channel- of Fenelou river at the railway bridge is proceed- ing somewhat slowly. Mr; Kennedy, of Bobcaygeon, who is superintendiug the operations, arrived at the Falls just a month ago, and, after about a week spentin engaging men and gathering materials, at commencement was made on the dam, which is a Very simple af- fair. Several hundrcd stout poles, ten feet or over in length, were: cut. sloping at one end,.eight feet from which two legs, six and a half feet'long, were in- serted. These benches, as they are called, stand upright in the water, about three feet apart, and the sloping face is covered with inch boards, which need scarcely any nails, the pressure upon them keeping them in place. Along the bottom a mixture of pea- straw, sand and manure is closely packed, and the structure, though not quite water-tight, answers the purpose for which it was erected. Owing to high winds, and the Consequent snap- ping of the chains at the ends of the boom placed to breaklthe force of the waves, the dam has three or four times been broken ; but on every occasion it was promptly repaired and the Work of blastng resumed. Already rock has been removed to the required depth of eighteen inches over an area about 40 feet. wide and. 150 feet long; but only a conimratively-small part. of- the work has been done. and, if the present un- favourable weuther continue, it will not be completed: for some considerable time, especially as there is more to do than was anticipated. Up to Wedness day evening about twenty men and two teams were at. work ; but another team. and» more men were put on- yesterday, and the force will be increased as soon as it can be done to advantage. 3,...1tn..‘a;..{.g.
