Homing, of Toronto, was at the Falls from Wednesday after< noon until Thursday morning. Mr. Geo. Bick, of Bobeaygcon, and M1219. D. Orde, of Lindsay, were at the Falls last Tuesday on business. Miss Maggie Rutherford was at T0- ronto the greater part of last Week at- tending the Salvation Army demon- stranon. Mr Henry Wright. formerly of this village, but now of Lindsay. was here from Monday afternoon imtill Tuesday morning. Mr. D. McDougall, principal of our village schools, and all the lady teachers except one, left yesterday to attend the annual convention at Woodville, and will return this evening or to-morrow morning. Dr. E. S. Wilson left on Monday morning for the old country, and will probably be away about six months. He intends to visit England and Scotland, and will. no. doubt. spend part of his time in the great: hospitals. Mr. Harry Mc-ldrmrr returned last Friday from the Ontario College of ,Pharmacy. after writing for the' final examination, the result. of which is not yet known ; but it is probable that be will be as successful as he was at the junior examination aonic months ago. Mr. William Avery is again at the Falls. having returned from some re mote northern region. Being a bach- elor, be comes and goes at his own sweet will, just as the burner takes him. One day he is here, and the next he isn’t; and then. after an uncertain in- terval, he suddenly reappears in the village. Mr. Peter Deyman, W. M. of Maple Leaf True Blues No. 42, Fcnelon Falls, returned last Friday from St. Cathar- incs, where he had been attending the annual meeting of the Grand Lodge of True Blues on the 13th, 14th and 15th inst. Mr. Dcynran came borne with an additional feather in his cap, having been elected Deputy District Grand Master of Victoria county. .

Mrs'r.\r{i;.v.â€"-Mr. St. George is very indignantat who.th said in last week's Gazelle regarding his Mormonistic pro- clivities; but if he thinks he can mount a public platform and attack our pet candidate's religion, and then dchar Us frorn “carrying the war into the en eniy's country " by giving him ‘* tit for tat.

Her husband left her a fortune of ovur a million dollars, nearly three-fourths of which she bequeathed to the Char- itable, religious and educational institu- tions of I’cterborougb. She had. no children. Tim: Generalistâ€"We have lately heard complaints that the- village cem- etery is used as a play-ground by boys, who doall sorts of damage, and that a. 3 3'0“ by Logsâ€"The river below the falls was “chuck” full of Rathburn's logs for have inveighcd against the log nuisance time and again; but as those who suf- fer from it do nor appear disposed to take any steps to abate it, we may as well say no more. ILLEGAL. Some of our village boys apparently need reminding that. it is ilo legal to kill insectirorous birds, or to take their nests, eggs or young. There is aheavy penalty attached to either offence, and if we knew who it was stole three or four half-fledged robins from a nest in a clump of cedars near our house last Sunday. we should be strongly tempted to set Constable Neviâ€" son on his truck. A Sraosn Titanâ€"Meser. Joseph MeArthur and A. Q. St. George have lormed a political partnership, and are running around the riding addressing the electors; but whether in favour of Mr. Fell or of Mr. Delamere we have not yet board. We suspect that all the addr'CSsing is done by Mr. St. George, and that Mr. McArthur simply gives the proceedings his moral support and confers respectability upon them by his presence. A HOLIDAY on Blowoutâ€"As was foreshadowed in last week's (lozeur, our villagers have decided to keep the Queen’s birthday on Monday nch inâ€" stead of to-morrow, and notices to that clfcct have been posted in all the stores. We take it for granted that the' schools will be closed as well as the platens of business, as it might endanger the chil- dren's loyalty to refuse them a holiday because the Queen’s birthday happens to fall on a Saturday. A NAitnow Escarn-â€"Last Monti :r y night a few persons from near Rcltie's went up on a hand-car to a taliec pull at Kinmount, and on llreir way back narrowly escaped being run into by a; special train. Knowing there were two specialsâ€"one up and the other downâ€"on the line, they kept a c instant look out, and saw the smoke from one of them as it. was approaching around a curve, and had barely liltcd tho ctr from the track when the [f‘llll swept by. AN ()FFERrâ€"A prominent supporter of Mr. J. B. Campbell, llthlll! Irrard that Mr. A. Q St. George had threat- cued to oppose the Reform candidate at all his meetings, authorized us to say that he will pay, out of his own pocket, the sum of 82 (two dollars) to Mr. St.- Georgc or to Mr. Sam. llughcs many time either of them attends and speaks. at one of Mr. Campbell's meetings, as he thinks the satisfaction to be derived from their overthrow and humiliation will be a fair equivalent for the money. A Successâ€"The entertainment un- der the auspices of the Royal Tcmplars of Temperance in Dickson's hall last Monday evening was well attended, and the receipts exceeded the expenditures by more than 310, although the admis- sion was only 10 cents. Mr. Jas. Dick- son ofiiciatcd as chairman and Mrs. A. Wilson presided at the organ. Rev. Mr. Parker and Rev. Mr. Frazer deliv- ered appropriate addresses, and there were readings by Miss. M. Uullon, Miss Willie Greene and Dr. A. Wilson, and singing bv the choir, and by Dr. K: Mrs. Wilson, Miss. Morgan and Mr. l’almer.. The band was in attendance and play- ed several selections. l'lvcryonc present was well pleased and the entertainment was a decided success. Mr. Gladstone on Russian Gruelty.. LONDON, May 18,â€"Mr. Gladstorie,, speaking at Lowestoft yesterday, said? the English public conscience had been. greatly shocked by the reports of Rus- sian prisoners being ruthlessly shot without the form of a trial, and by the. loot that these outrages passed without: the reprobation of the lln-sian Govern- ment. He had been asked why he did not denounce these outrages in the House of Corrrrnons. but he felt scruplr: about asking the Gl)‘~'ci'rirncrrt Ll) take. steps unless he could see the way to a. favorable. result. He desired UJ-SQU the law applied in his own land whenever cruelty and oppression were found. lle would be glad if the Government was. in a position to oxpostulare with liu-sim but he feared Russia might retort thee, acountry whose police ruthlessly shot innocent Irish citizens engaged in pub» lic meeting was hardly in a position to. dictate bow another country should. treat its convicts.
