Fenclon Falls, Out. The Fenclon Falls Gazette. Friday, August 29th, 1890. State Education. Last Friday’s issue of The Week, pub- lished at. Toronto, has a communication signed “ W ” from a correspondent who holds the same vciws as the Gazctte on the subject of education, which views are also shared by The il'eck and The By- stander, both of which take the ground that. “ the free education of all classes in the high schools is not merely unjust to those who make no use of them, but is frequently injurious to those who are induced to use them, when they might be better employed in manual labor" “ \V ” says, as the Gazette has always said, that “ It is not right. that boys should receive at the public expense an education which unlits them for manual labor”; and “ education at the public expence should apply to such subjects as will be of use to them in such callings and employments as they may reason- ably be supposed likely to engage in .” To illustrate the effects of misplaced education in England, “ W ” gives the following extract from London Punch of July 12th :â€" roo CLEVER 13v HALF. Bring qucslions and answers cu! 012 [/19 straight. Qumclz'oirâ€" So you have finished your education? .lnsumnâ€"Yes, thanks to the liberality of the School Board. ().â€"Do you know more than your pa- rents '.’ .A1.â€"-Ccrtainly, as my father was a. sweep and my mother a clmrwoman. (_).â€"-\\’ould‘ either occupation suit you ’? A.â€"-Ccrtainly not; my aspirations soar above such pursuits, and my health,im- paired by excessive study, unlits me for a. life of manual labour. Qâ€"Kimlly mention what occupation would suit you? .-1.â€"l thinkI could, with a little cram~ ming. pass the examinations for the Army, the Navy, or the Bar. Q.â€"-'l‘hen why not become an ofiiccr in either branch of the United Service, ora member of one of the Inns of Court? .>l.â€"Bccause I- fear, that as a man of neither birth nor breeding. I should be regarded with contempt in either the Camp- or the Forum. (,3.â€"\\'ould you take a clerkship in the city ? .~l.â€"-.‘l’ot willingly, as I have enjoyed something better than a commercial educa- tion; besides, city clerkships are not. to be had for the asking. Q -â€"\\’cll, would you become a shop-boy or a counterjunmer‘? .-i.â€"Certainl_v not; I should deem it a. sin to waste my accomplishments (which are many) in filling a situation suggestive of the servant’s hall rather than of the library. Q.â€"â€"\‘?‘cll, than, how are you to make an honest livelihood? -l.â€"-’i‘hose who are responsible {or my education must answer that question. ").â€"â€".\llll if they can‘t '.’ .‘1.â€"~'l‘hcn i must accept an alternative and seek inspiration and precedents» from the reCords of success in another walk of life, beginning with the pages of the New- gate Calendar? Sudden Death. We rccnrd, with much regret, the sudden death of our old and esteemed friend. 311'. John Stewart, of Verniam. who on Friday last was out looking for men to assist. him at threshing. and next morningwas found dead in his bed. Hobad been in delicate health for a long time. and. we now hear, com- pluincd at intervals of some slight trouble at his heart. but it was not thought that anything was seriously wrong with that organ. He was a. man of good education and abilities. and occtsionally wrote for both the Bobcay. goon Imiqwndmt and the Gazette, his last comributions to our Columns having been the letters signed “ Layman ” during the recent controversy on bap- tism. We do not know his exact age, but it was not far from 70 years, and all his children are grown up. His fuucrul on Monday. was very numerously mended. Unwelcome Visitors. Some time last week a porcupine wan- dered into the village, and about noon on Friday Mr. Alex. Lambfitud Richard Mitchell saw it peeping over |a large chased it into the little swamp adjoin- ing, where it climbed to the top of an ash tree about forty feet high. While they were peltingâ€"or, rather, vainly trying to peltâ€"it with stones. Mr. James Cullou appeared upon the scene, and be, after procuring an axe, climbed up the tree and proceeded to chop off the limb on which the animal had roosted. Be- fore he had finished his contract: the axe flow of the helvc, and he then grasp- ed the bough with his hands and 'man- . aged to break it, nearly losing his bal- , ance when the bough snapped. By the time he got to the ground the porcupine, which did not appear to be in the least hurt- by its fall, had dodged the stones thrown at it by the other two and taken refuge in an opening in the rock. but Mr. Cullen quickly poked it out with a long stick and then killed it with a blow on the head. It was said by all good judges of porcupiues to be an unusually large one, and, from its appearance, would weigh about 25 lbs. A day or two earlier in the Week Mr. Cullon missed two fine pullets for which he says he would not. have taken a dollar each, and about the same time a. favorite and highly meritorious hen owned by Mr. Mitchell also mysteriously disap-l poured. On Tuesday evening, about 8 o'clock the perfume of a skunk suddenly per- vaded the village atmosphere, and was so strong up Cameron Lake way that it was evident the animal was not far off, though no one saw it. Some joker remarked that perhaps it had cmne to the Falls to try odoril'crous conclusions with the “ chemical process ” in the pulp mill; but, ifso, it was too late, as the sickening nuisance was abated long ago, it is to be hoped forever. lienelon Falls is losing its population rapidly, but it. is not yet given over to owls and bats, or to skunks or porcupines either; and any of those animals that invade its rccincts will do so “ at the cril ofthcir . P own hazard, individually "â€"as the late lamented Artcmns Ward used to say. Personals. Mrs. G. C. Road, of Gelert, was at the Falls on Saturday last. Mr. J. 13. Campbell, of Luttcrworth, was at the Falls On Monday and Tues- day last. Mr. James Naylor. son of Mr. John Naylor, of Feuelon, is home Irom Chicago on a visit. Mr. George A. )Icthcrcll, of the Lind- say Book d: Music Emporium, was at the Falls last Wednesday- Mr. Roderick McDougall returned last Tuesday from Midland, where he has been engaged shipping ice since the lst of May. Mrs. Richard Cooper, accompanied by her two children, left. on- Monday for a fortuight's visit to her aunt, Mrs. Alex. McArthur, of Ops. Mr. Duncan Clark, who came home for his holidays about a month ago. and has been camping out for a few days at lake Simcoe, left for Cobdcn yesterday morning. Mr. & Mrs. P. R. Randall, of Port Hope, left for home on Wednesday, after a visit of over a fortnight; to Mr. Robert Webster, ot'li‘enelon, who-is Mrs. Randall's brother. Mr. David Green, who is employed in Kean 8: Son’s store at Orillia, arrived at the Falls on Saturday, and was ac- companied by little Johnny SLLawrence who came all the way from Orillia to Lindsay by himself, and has, we verily beliet’e,:s11liieiexit confidence in himself to start for a trip to Europe if supplied with the necessary funds. Mr. Fred Wild. who left the Falls about 113 years ago to return to l-Ingland. arrived in the village on Thursday of last week, having come to Canada for the benefit of his health. He intends to remain three weeks or a month longer, and, having considerable artistic ability. is devoting part of his leisure to taking sketches of the attractive scenery in this vicinity. REMOVALâ€"Mr. Just-pl: McFarland, who is greatly cramped for room in the premises he now occupies, has rented the large store in Twomey’s block, and will move as soon as it is ready for him.

One of the many good features on the programme was a short temper. ; ance address by the Rev. Mr. Parker, i and a soul-stirring one it was. Mr. Parker can't. be beaten in the pulpit or E on the temperance platform, and many : young and old left the hall that night remembering the grand opening. Au address was also given by Mrs: John Parrish. The programme was a lengthv one, and drew the attention of the crowd until a late hour. Mrs. Bert.

A Bit: liedâ€"Mr. Henry Pearce. of this village, showed us, on l'v’edncsdav last, a mammoth egg laid by one of his . nousâ€"a black .Iliddy of no particular breed. It (the egg) weighs within a ; grain or two of tour ounces, and is x about as large a one as we ever saw. , Wno CAN luv: Ir ?â€"-A few davs } ago Mr. Edward Wright, who lives near l the cemetery, told us that he then had in his garden a tomato vino on which there-Were no fewer than 81 tonntoes. :37 ct which were on a single stalk 18' inches long. If anybody can beat this, Mr. Wright would like to hear from him. FIXED.â€".» stranger in the village who is very anxious to have his name suppressed. got under the influence of liquor on Wednesday evening and dis- turbed the Salvation Army meeting, for which he was promptly arrested by Constable Nevison and taken before Mr. Dickson, who fined him a dollar and costs. GET OUT Your. Glrxs.â€"â€"Ou Monday next, the 1st of September, partridge and duck shootiug will commence. The last named birds appear to be very numerous this year, as large flocks pass over the village every evening ; but regarding the crop of partridgcs we have no information. CARI) or Downsâ€"Mrs Andrew Torrance, whose husband has been laid up for more than ten weeks with rheu- matism and sciatica, wishes to return her sincere thanks for the timely assist- ance she receivod on Tuesday last from Mr. Heard, who, aecompauicd by Mr. Joseph Nevison, went around the village with a subscription list, and collected enough money to keep her family for at least a month. Mr. Torrance, we are glad to see, has so far recovered that he is able to-be out. CIVlC IloLlnAY. â€" In compliance with a petition signed by thirty-six merchants and others, the recve has lSJllCd his proclamation appointing lt‘ri< day net-2t, the 5th prox., a civic holiday in Fenelon lr‘alls. Many of our villa- gets intend to go to Kitnnount, as the civic holiday is to be held there on the same day. and all sorts-of attractions are adVertised. Too Bumâ€"Tho announcement in last week's (hunt/c that the Catholic picnic was to be held here on the 3rd of September was premature, and we regret to learn that if the picnic is held at all this year it will probably be at llebeaygeon, as Father O'Connell is unwilling to pay Simâ€"the sum demand- ed by Mr. John A. Ellisâ€"for the use of tho agricultural park. It's too bad, as the picnic would bring a large crowd to the village, and they would of course spend a. good deal of money. ltc-m:n.t;i.\'c.-â€".\lr.
