Amending the Franchise Act. We clip the following from the Otta- wa correspondence in last Monday’s Globe :â€" , “ Mr. Barron, of Victoria, will con- tinue the campaign against the Fran- chise Act by introducing an amendment which will result in compelling every one added to the list by declaration to have t'ylcd for him a distinct and separ- ate declaration. This will put an end to the common and vicious practice of making out a general declaration setting forth the fitness of any number of perâ€" sons to a place on the list, attaching a schedule of names secured here, there and everywhere, and then getting some body with an elastic conscience to swear to them in an omnibus kind of way. Such a system could not but be produc- tive of many mistakes, to use a mild word. In Mr. Barren’s own constitu- ency he found instances where men had su‘orn out declarations proclaiming the right, of certain persons, with whom they were not even acquainted, to a place on the list, and in some of thcse cases evidence was had to show that the aspirant voters were not even of ageâ€" thc- primary requisite for a vote. So loose are the conditions in this whole- sale schedule style of declaring on voters that it the declarunt were to swear falsely he could not be convicted of perjury. A sufficient defence would lie in the plea that other names might have been put on the schedule since the declaration was made. And the mo- ment that conviction for perjury does not stand behind an oath, the oath be- comes worthless. Mr. Barron’s bill will shut. the door against all chance for mistake in this way by making it neces- sary that a specific special declaration accompany each candidate .for the po- sition of elector." m The Scott Act Fund. During the late sesslon of the county council 3. by-law to dispose of the sur- plus of the Scott Act fund received two readings and will be read a third time at the meeting in June. The Act pro- vided that all money collected as fines should be paid into 'thchands of' the county treasurer, but. 'did not say what was to be done with it ; and, therefore, it appears to be left to the council of every county in which the Act was in force to dispose of the s‘hrplus on hand when it. was repealed. The surplus in this county is about $5,000, and the just and renewable proposal made, and likely to be acted upon, is, that the mom-y be returned to the different mu- nicipalities in the proportion in which they contributed to the fund. The total amount collected in lines was 812,- 000, hali' of which Came from Lindmy, AUCTIONEERS. forcement of the Act did not on is but fair that it should be returned to , st the l by-lnw for preserving or disposing of county an effort or a cent to collect, it timber, stone, sand and gravel on the government and authorized road allow- the municipalitcs from which it was | ance. in the township ol'Somcrville, be derived ; and we are glad to learn that now read and passedâ€"Carried. the reeves and deputy reeves of theI townships in which no fines werelevxed Moved by Mr. Morrison, seconded by Mr. Wilson, That the following ncc‘ts are so impressed by the fairness of the against the municipality be paid zâ€"J. proposal that they make no claimâ€"or, J.

It seems a long while since you have had any news from this flourishing lit- tle “ Burgh,” and to me at least it‘docs not seem quite the thing. I hde been on the point of writing, several times. but my excessive modesty prevented me'. The idea of anything I might write appearing on the same page with such choice specimens of Christian chara ity and scholarship was quite overpowe ering. The erudition, the sequence of reasoning and the dictatorial style of argument displayed were more than enough to deter one not accustomed to public writing. I suppose I am a little shallow; but there arc times when I myself do a little thinking on my own account. I suppose it is wrong, but the fact is, Mr. Editor, I can’t help it. Well, my thoughts run this way :» If a particular mode of baptism is essential to gain an entrance within the “ poorly gates," one would think that an allwisc and omnipoteut Creator would have stut- ed it so plainly that the many us well as Lhcfcw would so understand it. But I beg your pardon ;‘it was news l start~ ed out to write; so here goes, and, I say, don't. let any of them open out. their heavy guns on me, for I should feel aw- fully cut up, you know, I should really. We are organizing a company to build a first class town hall. The plans and specifications are out. and tenders invit~ ed. It is to bc a two-story building. The upper stery to be a lodge room with all modern conveniences for pre- paring Candidates, &c. &c. The Canadian Order of' Oddl‘cllows has a prosperous lodge of'ovcr 30 mom- bcrs here, and scarcely a week passes without someone seeking to be initiated. The Royal Tcmplars ot 'l‘cmpcrancc number about 50 and are flourishing as the “ green bay tree." There is a great deal of sickness here at present. Lu Grippc has arrived and almost every house has made his ac- quaintance. Mr. Nicholas Bream is the only one that hm died. and he was not thoroughly over the typhoid fever before he was attacked with pneumonia and La Grippc and he was called away. Dr. Broad is busy night and day, and one day last week sent 250 powders to a. Longl'ord lumbercnmp. Some of the boys thought to have at little fun here at the expense of a “ show- man," but it is likely to cost them prct. ty dear, as Colonel Deacon has been notified and he does not sympathize much with that particular kind of fun. Do you think that theological con. troversy can be, afl‘cotiug the weather ‘? QUiz. m Personals. Mr. James J. Jackson returned from Necpawa yesterday. We hear that ho Intends to go to Toronto alter a brief‘ stay at the Falls. The Salvation Army here will soon sustain a heavy loss, as Mr. Richard Tongue, who so artistically and ctfcct» ively chastises the big drum, is selling his household effects with the intention of migrating to the States. Mr. Joh'n W. Kennedy, of Winnipeg, has been at the Falls since Monday lust. lie is new manager of a pso~pcrous In- surance Co., and came to Ontario chief- ly to attend a convention of Insurance men in Toronto next week. The many friends of Mr. Samuel Swanton, who was dangerously ill a short time ago. will be glad to ltmrn that ho has sufficiently TCOOVCI‘Cd to be able to attend to attend to business, and will no doubt. soon be restored (0 his usual state of robust health. Mr. Robert Chambers, proprietor of‘ the Lindsay Marble Works, was at the Falls yesterday on business, and of course called in to see how we Wcrc getting along. chcntccn years ago Mr. Chambers was a printer, and, while employed in the (:‘uzcuc office. inflicted in comminutcd compound fracture on onc of the pillars of our big press. Troubled by remorse of conscience, he gave up printing and went at marble cutting. and for some time past has been doing an excellent business on his own account, having lived down or bought out all competitors. / ~ -.m...:.-...g:ru u .. ‘..-, , “3%wa-
