It is a mistake to bring on to the University any boy who has no ap- titude for learning or science and there he chooses, with too many chances In favour of his being idle. If we are right in this, the High School is for youths in general the finishing placcrol? cd=ucaw headmaster are great. Improve the High Schools, get thoroughly good men for the headships and mastcrships, and that the income may be such as to draw - ability, increase the fees, which are now absurdly small, to a reasonable amount, retaining perhaps a. few places as bur- saries for pupils frontthe Public Schools. Let the High Schools be perfectly organ- ized and used as places of secondary education, for the community at large, not, as is too much the case at present, employed merely to qualify teachers, malc and female, for the Public Schools. From. the report of the recent Depart- mental Examinations, is would seem. that considerable over three-fourths of the candidates make use of the High Schools for the means of professional training, twothirds of the ntunber-bcing women ; and the same thing, we believe, happens every year. Bell’s Lecture. It is not often that a temperancelec- turer can draw much of an audience in Fcnelou Falls, but on Monday evening a very large number of personsâ€"â€"soxne of them from the countryâ€"assembled in Dickson’s hall to here Rev.J. W. Bell, Superintendent of the Royal Tem- plars- Missionary Board, who had preach- ed t'llree excellent sermons in the village the previous day. Mr. Bell is a native this vicinity, but his home is in Hamil- ton.. He is a tall, line looking man in the prime of life and is admirably fitted: for his appointed work. He has an ex- ceptionally good voice both for speaking and. singing, can accompany himself (or anybody else) on the organ, is a fair mimic and full of fun, and has a good: -etOCli of anecdotes with which to illus- trate his discourses. The first half of his lecture was devoted to the North- west, where he has spgnt many years, and regarding which he gave a. great deal of interesting information. Mr. , Bell says it used to disgust him to hear l Yankees bragging of the greatness of’ their country; but when he had been ' in the North west 11 while and had got 1 , I have now on hand full supplies of :2 ’Z Z [Z ‘ZJL " ' :,SPBI§.%.£99DS- SHOVELS, SPADES, PICKS, AND A FULL ASSORTMENT OF Iâ€"LGRICUIIFIIRxxL. =1- '.FO()I.4S I IMPLEMENTS‘ l l anyone could hear his lecture and. not be l BAXD CONCERT.â€"â€"â€"A concrrt in ai if convinced ofthc utter folly and madness 3' of intemperance both for the individual and the State."

Last Friday was kept as a civic holi- in Fcnelon Falls and Kinmonnt, a. match at football in the afternoon.) a good many of our villagers went to Kin- mount, where a big day was expected. A programme anmowueing a grand pic- and concert had been circulated, and a special train from Lindsay was engaged, but when it arrived only about ’15 pas sengers got oil“, and the Kimnount band, in behalf cl! which the demonstration was got up, would have been out of pocket but for the sale of dinner and tea tickets, a very large number of'which were disposad of. None of the bands or speakers expected arrived, and noth- ing adversised took; place,,cxcept a base- i nic, band dcnwustratlon, baseball match l _ , Iiinmount. clubs,.resulti~nu in a hollow victory for the latter, and! a concert in the evening. As the Kinmnunt band is entirely self supporting, charges noth- ing for its services and has gone to other places whenever asked, it thinks, with good reason. that it. was ungcnerously treated. ofthose who were expected to help in making the demonstration a success, there was a fair attendance, chiefly from the village and surrounding country; and as they had beautiful weather, good facilities for dancing, at tipvtop dinner Pmcnmny bid 1”“) “'O‘k or be Idle 5‘3 and tea and plenty of excellent music by the village band, the day passed very ; pleasantly. m Personals,- Mr. 85 Mrs. Hugh McDougall returned home last Monday from Montreal.

A1011) FRIEND H‘rum Fuon.-â€"M r. Frank Bell, of this village, has received. a long,r letter from Mr. A. Q. St. George, who is now at Vancouver and is so do» lighted with the country that he looks upon the years he spent at Fenelon Falls as so much wasth time. After making allowance for the exaggeration Mr. St.- Gcorge’s well-known enthusiastic tem- perament may have led him into, l'an- couver appears to hold out many attrac- tions-m'pcrsons seeking to better their condition, and his glowing account; of it will probably induce some of those who have money and. leisure tovpay it a visit. A CLOSE CALLâ€"On Tuesday even- ing M.r.John Alexander, of this village, took an over-dose of medicine contain- ing swamp hellebonc, and. had a very narrow escape from death. lle had pro. cured it to cure rheumatism, and, fitt'l- ing benefited by its moderate use. took a whole lot at once, not knowing it w. poisonous. .kbout 2.0'clock ou- \V’Cllln‘H day morning a incssmlger was sent for Dr. Graham, who found the patient cold and pulseless; but by the prompt us.- of the stonmch-puxnp and other remedies the doctor managed to save him, and in a fow hours he had recovered from tin: . effects of the poison.
