The Canada Pacific Railway Com- pany‘s Exhibition Car No. 303 arrived at Fenelon Falls, according to adver- tisement, on Tuesday afternoon, and was open to the public from 4.30 until 6 p. m., and on Wednesday from S a. in. until i p. 111., when it was attached to the northward bound train and taken to Kinmount, where it remained until Thursday evening. It was in charge of Mr. Auguste Helm, Immigration Agent and Interpreter. of Winnipeg, and Mr. John J. Haslett, Agent of tlie C. 1’. 1%., both of whom treated their crowd of visitors with the utmOst cour- tesy, and patiently answered the ques- tions with which they were besieged. The car is the same one that was here a little over two years ago ; but it has been greatly improved, and the display of products was much better, as far as their arrangement went, than upon the occasion of its first' visit. To give a list. of its contents would be allieavy task, and would serve no useful inform- tion, as all farmers are aware that the North-West. produces all kinds of grain, roots, vegetables, 820., but they must be seen before anyone can form an idea. of their quality. With regard to this pomt all we shall say is, that one sam- ple of white oats was marked forly-m'nc and a half pounds to the bushel, and that the wheat, barley and peas were all remarkably good. There was a long row of glass jars filled with preserved fruits, but they were from British Col- umbia, as only small fruits can be grown in Manitoba. The native grasses and wild vitches and pcase attracted a good deal of attention, and were calcu- lated to inspire any horse or ox that might see them with a strong desire to go to the North-West. The car was filled from end to end with farmers and villa- as long as it was open, and no doubt what some of them saw, coupled with the contents of the pamphlets that were freely distributed, will make them dissatisfied with their present surround- ings; and to induce emigration from Ontario to Manitoba and the territories, and thus increase the traffic of the C. l’. R, is the object with which the ex- hibition car is sent upon its travels. The ice business. When the new industry of harvesting ice on Cameron Lake was inaugurated by Mr. John A. Ellis less than two months ago, no one imagined that. it would swell to its pl‘cScut, dimensions, or that it would be as great. u been to the workierr population as it has proved. Owing to the fact that the work was commenced on a small scale, and that the number of men has increased almost daily, it is very difficult to estimate the total amount that has been or has yet to be paid in wages; but. we think it may be safely put at not less than 85,- . 0H0. There are now on the cast shore {of the hike eight large houses. which will contain about 30,000 tons of ice, all but two of which are full, and, late as it. is in the season, another house, though a smaller one, is now (Thurs- three or fnur days, and itis thought that the ice, which is still good, will not begin to Separate from the shore until towards the end of next week. This your congealed water, owing to its scarcity, commands an almost unprece- deutcdly high pl‘lCL‘JIDLl there is no doubt that all of our villagers who have sc- cured at stock of it w ill make a lot of money. The last to go into the busi- ness were Messrs. John and Henry Aus- tin and W. E. Ellis, who on Friday, the let all”, formed a syndicate, and | ' ‘ e . .

Many thought that they were too late in the field, but the weather has proved very favourable to them, and their eleventh hour venture will be a success. It is quite evident, however. that operations cannot be continued many days longer; and so eager are the interested parties to secure every ton of ice possible, that there was some talk this morning of carrying on the work at night by torchlight, though where relays 'of men are to be got, at a day or two’s notice, we do not know. When it is borne in mind that at. least one train lcad of 300 tons has been forwarded every day for some weeks past, some idea can be formed of the amount ofice that. has been taken from Cameron Lake since the first block was cut. A its run. Those of our readers who were ac- quainted with Mr. Malcolm McDougnl, some years ago a resident of this vil- huge, will regret to hear of the death of his only son, Alfonso, aged 10, who was killed by an accident about the 20th of last month. We cannot tell the exact clay, as the account we saw was copied into the Seattle I’ost-Tnfrllzycncer from the Spokane Falls Chronicle, the date of which is not given. Mr. Melloueal, who has become quite wealthy, lives at Seattle, ‘v\‘ashing_;ton Territory, and his son was attending Gonzaga College at Spokane Falls. The Chronicle says: “A number of boys u hile out for their usual afternoon walk, w.re playing on the 'l‘wickenham bridge of the Seattle and Lake Shore road, when young Mel.)ongul opened the trap-door and started down the ladder. In some manner, which his companions could not explain, he slipped and fell to the rock below, a. distance of eightyâ€"five feet. Two of the boys procured a buggy and drove to town after Dr. Webb, who, with Father Mac-bin, drove at. once to the scene of the accident. They were too late, however, as the little lad was (lead when they reached him. The doctor‘s opinion was that he had been instantly killed by the fall. l-Iis leg was broken in three places, and some of the gravel stones had been ground into the flesh. Dr. Webb and Father Mat-bin placed the remains tenderly in a waggon and sent them to the college, while they came to the city to find the cor- oner and learn what was necessary to be done. Dr. McLean decided that an inquest was not necessary under the cicumstanccs.” Farewell Address and Presentation. On, Tuesday evening, in the Pulp Mill Co.’s olllce, Mr. Richard Rook, who left; the Falls next morninrr was a? presented by Mr. Wm. Burgoyne with a. valuable gold chain and locket and a well tilled purse, the joint ofi'oring of his fellow employees, and the following address was read by Mr. A. Q. St. George : To RICHARD A. Rock. Dear Sir (1an Brother,â€" It is with the deepest regret that we learn that you are now about to sever your connection with the annnee Paper Company, for whom you have so faithfully laboured during the past sixteen years. We feel that we cannot let you go without tendering you some small recognition of our appreciation of your many excellent qualities; we therefore beg your accept- ance of this gold chain, locket and purse, not for any intrinsic value they have or for the large amount the latter contains, but as a slight remembrance of the runny happy years we have worked together ; trusting that, though we are parting now for a season, the affection that has always existed amongst us may not be blighted by the hand of time. We can assure you that you go from amongst us taking with you the good will of all your brother employ- ees. Your generous and amiable nntnnclr llllS so endeared you to us all that to part with you is to us a sad event. We wish you in the future, in no matter what sphere of life you may be called, all the health, wealth and happiness which this world can give ; and should we never See your face, or clasp your hand again, as we do here to-night, we trust we shall all meet upon that great day, around that throne where angels sing their great llcdccmer's praise, and where parting is no more. Signed by the employees of the Napancc Paper Company. Wit. llUli :(l‘z’Xl-I. A. Q. (ll-101ml), Er}. AVERY, ALF. Sl‘l W 1-) LL, W. MuCl.l£.\'.\'li.', w. [)I'GHAN, 'l‘. Slli'l‘ll. ll.

Mr. Rook made :1 brief reply, but his l evident cmorion prevented him from l saying: more than a few words. During l the sixteen years he has been in the company’s employâ€"first at Napanee and then at Feuclon Fallsâ€"be has won the friendship and esteem of all with whom he has bad business or social re. lotions ; and all who knew him express regret at his departure. He resigned his position solely on account of his health, which has been falling of Into, and which he hopes will be benefited by change of air and employment. From here he went to Bellevillc, where some of his relatives reside, and. on the 2lst inst. be is to take a position of trust in the Stnustcad College, about 120 miles south-east of Montreal,of which the Rev. Foster McAmmond, B. .-\., is principal and governor. Mechanics’ Institute. Fenclou Falls, April lst, 1390. Board met. Members present. Mes- srs. ’l‘. Robson, Campbell, Nie, Clark and St. George.

Those of our readers who are so unpalriotio as to go to town for their dry goods, in- stead of leaving their money at the Tails, will do well to give M. J. Carter :1 call. CONSERVATIVE NOMINATIONrâ€"A convention of the conservatives of EM Victoria was held Wednesday in Jordan's hall, fior,the pul'pOSe of nominating a can- date at the approaching elec'tion for the Legislative Assembly. There were four aspirants in the field, but Mr. John Fell, our present representative, got so large a nmjority of votes, that his‘nom- ination was at once made unanimous. A CHEAP Nounâ€"Any person in want- of a cheap home, and able to pay the whole or half in cash, should :0 and look at Mr. Geo. W. Martin's l‘n'opcrty south of the river, atlvcrtiscd in this week’s Gllchlc. As the owner is not likely ever to reside again at the Falls, he nll'ers the place at a very low priCe, which can be ascertained by applvin; to him by letter, or personally at'this ofiicc. 1iL'.\'AW.tY.â€"l.-ast Monday Mr. Bob- ert Brandon's team ran away from Mr. James Knox's shop, and were not for from Blythe, five miles from the Falls. when Mr. Wm. lluthcrlbrd Hopper] them. The box and bind wheels of the wuggon were left on the real soon after they started, and they had the front wheels with them when they were caught. 'l'he horses did not get so much as. a scratch and not a strap of the lmrutss Was broken. Camachoâ€"On Monday morning a crack several inches long, and some- thing the shape of a capital Y, was dis- covered in one of the plate-glass win- dows of the Palace Dry Goods House, in Mr. Joseph Mc.\rthur's brick block ; and by Tucsda',‘ the crack had extend- crl upwards and outwards- about a yard, until it reached the side of the pane. There was no marl: of a blow, and it is thought that the damqu was done by the front of the building settling. The windows cost considerably over 81"“) each, and they were insured until a cw months ago, when the policy was allowed to run out. The panes of glass are so large that, if the cracked portion were cut off, there would be enough left to make a window for an. ordinary store. ‘I ' ._.____mm ' ,fia‘W“ cmwgsanawev-v 4/" ’
