Tuesday next will be the inst of July, Dominion Day, and although there is to be no celebration in Fenclon Falls, it will of course be observed as a holiday, and the members of the Quadrille Club have arranged for an excursion to Wash- burn’s Island in Scugog Lakeâ€"a long trip but a pleasant one. The residents of the vicinity of Rettie’s Station in Somerville have determinel to honour the day to the best of' their ability, and posters announcing a programme of sports calculated to draw a crowd have been printed and circulated. In Lindsay the congregation of St. Mary’s church announce a monstcr cel- ebration on Dominion Day, which they will hold on the grounds of the agricul- tural park. A list of attractions, longer than we can afford space for, has been arranged, chief among which are bicy- cle races, foot races, running races, jumping, vaulting &c., a match at base- ball, a named trot for horses, and a green race that is expected to be partic- ularly interesting. In the races purses to the value of 8200 are offered, and some of the best stock in the county will be present. The famous band from Bowmauvilleâ€"the Dominion Or- gan C0.’s bandâ€"have been specially engaged for the occasion, and lovers of fine music should not fail to hear them. Arrangements are made for dancing in the agricultural buildings. Meals will be furnished at low prices, and a day’s thorough enjoyment may be had by all who go to Lindsay on July lst.

During the evening two athletic young villagers, known ro spectfully as Archie and Buck, quar- rcllcd about somebody else's horse trade and adjourned to the McArthur House stable, where they fought for a quarter of an hour, Archie being the victor. Constable Nevison, hearing of the oc- currance, summoned them both for a breach of the peace, and Buck Was nexr day fined 81 and costs (total $3.85) by Mr. Dickson, but his opponent went to Lindsay in the morning and did not appear to stand his trial. On Monday the steamer Stranger was in the locks nearly all day, as she had broken her propeller and was brought here for Mr Robson of'the Cameron Lake foundry to put in a new one. For some reason â€"possib|y out of " pure cussedncss ” or to show his authorityâ€"the captain per- sistently bullied the engineer, who at last lost his temper, and in the evening they got from words to blows. The first time they attacked each other they were separated before either was hurt, and the peace-makers thought the trou- ble was over; but a few minutes later the two men resumed hostilities, and the captain was knocked down and had his face badly cut, but whether by his opponent or by the stones on which he fell appears to be a disputed point. They were not summoned, as the fight took place near the wharf-and they .eft before the constable could take action, as he did not hear of' the affair until some little time alter it had occurred and did not know the pugiiists’ names. W... . Powles’s Corners. Correspondence of (Its Gazette. A mean trick, that might be classed as highway robbery on a small scale, was perpetrated near here on the even- ing of Tuesday, the 17ih inst. As a lit- tle boy of Mr. John Browu’s was walk- ing home from the lake with a nice fish that he had caught, he was overtaken by three young men, or, in other words, three who called themselves men. They demanded the fish from the boy. who was so scared that he gave it up, and it was taken to a relative‘s house, about a mile west of the school-house. where it was cooked. One of the young men, who Was made a tool of by the other two, had to make it all right. or face the law. They live at Pleasant. Valley, . but we will not give their names this time, though it was not the first min. deed of which they have been guiity. Mr. Uliver Qluspcll has had the fortune to lose a good young cow that got stuck in a beaver meadow. Such a loss is keenly felt at this time of year. In one of the neighborhoods in this section the farmers combined together for the purpose of buying a threshing machine. We wish them success. Road work has been expanded on the Queen's highways. but, as very little money is spent on them. the statute la- bour alone is not sufficient to keep them in good condition. Mrs. D. S. Willock has been som- moned to the bedside of her mother, Mrs. Graham, of Ops, who is lying at the point. of death. Quite a number of our young men are off to Kington, not for any crime, but for their annual drill as Volunteers. May they have a good time. Personals. Mrs. Wm. Sewell left on Monday to visit her relatives in Ireland. Mr. Berkley, That Messrs. Brown and ! Miss Bella Fair, of South Monaghan, is visiting at Mr. Wm. Jordan's. Mr. W. C. C. Logan, of Pcterboro', has been at the Rectory since Monday. Mr. St Mrs. Richard Wilson. of Man- vers, are visiting at Dr. A. Wilson's. Miss Jeannie Twomey returned on Tuesday from a five weeks' visit at Belleville. Mrs. Guest, of Adjela, and Miss Ma- son, of Mono Mills, are visiting their brother, R. M. Mason, V. S., at the Falls. Mr. Babbitt, the “ icc man," left the Falls on Mon lay for Point nzulshem', to ship the contents of two or three store houses there. Mrs. Jas. A. Todd left on Tuesday with her two children for Dallas. Texas, where Mr. Todd has had profitable em~ ployment for upwards of' a year. Dr. E. S. Wilson is in Edinburgh. attending the hospitals, and witnessed the presentation of the freedom of the city to Stanley, the explorer, on the 11th inst. Mr. Archibald McDougall, of Min~ nedosa, Manitoba, where he has resided for about 13 years, came to the Falls last Wednesday, for a month’s visit to his brother, Mr. Hugh McDougall. W?

Masoxrc TRlP.â€"Last Sunday about half the members of the local lodge of Masons, accompanied by their wives or lady friends. went to Lindsay by the Steamer Em, and in the afternoon at; tended the Methodist church. where an eloquent and appropriate sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. Williams. They had splendid Weather and got home about 8.30 p. m.

Wm. Logan and the Rev. Mr. Lockhead. THE Damsâ€"The drain on the east side ol Colboruo St, from Mr. llearrl's store to the creek south of Twomey's hotel, is finished; and, contrary to gen- eral expectation, Mr. liobcrt Wallace, the Contractor, has made fair wage. The job was Commenced four weeks ago last Wednesday, but 803V‘3rhl stop- pages were caused by wet weather, and the work expended on it was only equal to forty days for One man. Th: our tanct price was $56, to which Mr. lleurd added 810, as the drain Was undertaken mainly for his benefit, and he was de- termined to have it done to his lflllsffiC‘ tion. Poisoxsn.â€"On Wednesday lust Mr. John H. Brandon's big dog, Tigrr. died of a dose of strychninc; but whether it was laid for rats and he found it or it was given to him intentionally there is no evidence to show. The prub::l;lllt}', however, is, that it was a cube of wilful murder, as Tiger. though he had many good traits of character, was rather fond of fighting, and had blrmdshot eyes which made many persons afraid of" him. He was a splendid water dog, and, on Tuesday inst sprang into the canal to rescue his friend Bob. an Irish terrier, which Mr. Brandon had throwu in v. i give him a bath, as he couldn't be got into the water by any other means. -â€"-â€"â€"~-â€"â€"-â€"-â€". ..
