THOMAS ROBSON. Penelon Falls. om. m The Fenclcn Falls Gazette. Friday, March 6th. 1891. _â€"___.. DOMINION ELECTION S. We have delayed the publication of she Gazette twenty-four hours in order to be able to give our readers an idea asto the result of the Dominion elec- tions on Thursday. Though the Gov- ernment is not. defeated, as a great. many hoped and some few expected it. would be, it is greatly weakened, but, until all the returns are in and some inevit- able mistakes in those already received have been rectified, it is impossible to say exactly what Sir John's majority will be. Before the dissolution he had fully fifty, but. when the House next. meets he will probably not have more than twenty-five and pousiblo even less. In Ontario the Liberals gaiued fifteen or sixteen sums and lost. four or live; they also did well in Quebec; but. in the other provinces and the North-West the Government's gainsare greater than its losses. All the cities, in which N. P. influence is strong, went for John A. except London, in which a Liberal was elected. Three of the Ministers, Mr. Carling, Mr. Corby and Mr. Foster were defeated, and Lincoln redeemed its character 'by rejecting Rykert. Mr. Lauricr was elected on nomination day by acclamation, Sir John Mucdonnld not a majority of 474 in Kingston, and in South Oxford Sir Richard Cart, wriuht's majority was 800. It is quite within the bounds of possibility that. when the results of the contest. are ex- actly known, the Government may not have a majority suflicient in these troub. lous times to save it from destruction. The Report of the Trent Valey Canal Commissioners. This document has been for several months in the hands of Sir John Mac- donuld, the minister of Railways and Canals for the Dominion. ' A copy of the Report was asked for by the Peter- borough Review, and at. once given. It was published on Friday lust, and is of a. most favourable character. There is no doubt about the suflicicncy of the water supply. The Commissioners. Judge Weller of Pererborough,-Mr. F. Turner, C. E.. of Toronto, and Mr.;J. Kennedy, C. E., of Montreal, went over the route and took evidence at various points. which evidence accompanies the Report. The Commissioners recom- mended thut the canal should be pushed on to completion without. delay. They report. that the assistance it would be in developing the country would amply repay the outlay, although no direct revenue should be derived from the work. They suggest a larger saving' in the construction of the canal, by build- ing locks ol'a much less expensive char- acter than those already built. They suggest the lock at Bobcnygeon as a model. They call attention to the use of the “ lift lock "â€"-â€"wlmtcvcr that. may beâ€"now in practical use in England, France and Belgium, without having formed any decided opinion on it. them- selves. The Commissioners opinion that an extension of the main work ,should be undertaken by the com- pletion, as soon as convenient and prac- ticable, of the work necessary to give continuous navigation from Balsam Lake to the Bay of Quintc. This would embrace the semians between Lakcfiuld and l’etcrborough, and between Hecley’s Falls and Trenton. In the opinion at the Commissioners. a waterway would thereby be made which would not. only increase the value of the works already constructed. but would assist to devel0p the industries along: its route, and ope I up the resources of the country to such an extent as to amply compensate for s “ are of scrvative candidate in South Victoria, was elected by a maju-ity of 140, but how the third figure got there nobody appears to know. The majority claim“! t for Mr. Fuirbuiru is only 14; but we have it upon the very best. authority that upwards of thirty perfectly good and valid ballots marked for Mr. Wal- ters were rcjcctcd on one frivolous pro. text or another, that ballots not proper- ‘ly marked for Mr. Fairbuirn were al~ lowed to pass, that sereral bad votes were cast for him, and, finally, that Mr. Walters was the choice of thc electors and had the most votes, and will rep. resent the riding in the House of Com- mons when it next meets. ' In North Victoria Mr. John A. Bar- ron was re-elcctcd by a majority of 256, to which a few more will be added when the returns from the rcmotc northern polling places come in. We are com- pelled to postpone com cuts until next week, as, like ucaly all t 10 Grits in the village, we joined the procession which yesterday, (Friday) morning escorted Mr. Barron to Lindsay, and assisted tn celebrating his victory over Unsuvoury Sam.

The melancholy death of the late Mrs. John Fell, whose mortal remains were interred at St. Peter's, Vcrulam, on Sunday last, will cause a void in her own family which can never be filled, and one in the community that will not soon be lorgotten. Mrs. Fell was what. may be emphatically termed " a good woman.” In many respects, where she had opportunity, she reflected the char- acter of the virtuous woman described by Solomon, whose " price is for above rubies." She was like a kind mother to all who came in her way who needed her motherly care and kindness. She was incapable of hurting any one by word or dced,â€"a rare virtue. She was always employed in doing good to others. forgetful of herself. She was described justly in the funeral sermon as “ a loving wife, a tender mother, a faithful tricnd, and a consistent christian ; and the best evidence that she died in the Lord is the fact that she always lived in the Lord and was engaged in his work.” “ Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." Mr.'Fcll and his family have the hearty sympathy of the whole community in their sad bereavement. There was an immense attendance at. the funeral, and it Would have been much larger but for the tact that an other old resident of the community was buried at the same hour in another cemetery. W St. J ames’s Church. We are requested to publish the fol. lowing letter and comments thereon :â€" Fcnelou Falls, Juu’y 18th, 1891. To Mr. ’1’. Roberts. Dma Sm,â€" Would you be pleased to request the Rector, Rev. Wm. Logan, to call a meeting of the congregation of St. James's Church to consider what is to be done about getting a clergyman, as I understand that Mr. Logan is very anxious to leave for the city. so I would think that the sooner some arrangement was made the better. I think some night next week, any night but Wedncso day would suit me p and you will much oblige Yours truly, Gnoaoz J. N12. In accordance with the above requi~ sition, I appoint a vestry meeting to be held in St. James's church on the even- log of Monday next, the 9th inst., at 8 o'clock, to take into consideration the obj:ct there stated. In giving notice of this meeting I beg to any that I have never said to any one, that. Lam. " very Eundas & Flavelle Brothers, Dealers in Dry Geods, Clothing, Milline‘syé, ' the expenditure necessary to be incurred, l anxious to laws,” nor even “ anxious " without the ‘-very." I am about to leave, not from my own chioce. or from line dictation of the requisitionist or those who hold his views on the subject of my leaving. My leaving arises from a cause very different. from either of these. Were I to express an " anxious " wish to leave, after the unbounded kiuducmes that. have been showered upon me by tho rcquisitiouist and his friends, I would be showing an amount. of ingratitude of which I. hope 1 am incapable, seeing that ingrutitude cm- braccs all the sins of which one can be guilty. Wu. Loom. Dr. B. S. Wilson Burned Out. Dr. E. S. Wilson has, we are sorry to any, been very untortuuato since he went. to Brechin, though he has worked up a good practice. Not many weeks ago he had an arm broken in conse- quence of his horse running away, and last Friday morning the house he occu- pied was destroyed by fire together with the whole of its contents. The following account was telegraphed to the Toronto papers, and agrecs’with the contents of the letter received by Dr. A. Wilson from his brother :â€" " Buncnm, Ont, Feb. 27.â€"-â€"'l‘hc dwelling owned by W. Gaudrie, G. 'l‘. R. station agent, and occupied by E. S. Wilson, M. D., was consumed by fire: about 2 o'clock this morning. The doc- tor made his escape through the bed- ro'm window. Mrs. Wilson, in trying to make her escape, l'cll inside and sunk to the floor nearly suffocated with the smoke. The Doctor, finding she was not following, called, and, getting no answer, returned and found her insen- siblc on the bedroom floor. He carried. her out by the window onto thokitchcn roof. Nothing was saved. The furni- ture was partly insured. Mr. Wilson’s loss is about $600. The building was partly insured; loss about $500. This is the first dwelling house over burned in this place." W Couxcu. Maurineâ€"The village council met. last Monday evening, but nothing was done beyond passing a couple ot'uuimportunt motions. There will be another- meeting on Monday evening next. A \VEI.COME V ISI’I‘OR.â€"-.\lrs. Marga- ret Guuigau, of Chicago, came to the Falls last Tuesday, for a week's visit to her brother, Mr. John Thompson, whom she had not seen for more than thirty- six years. They Were both delighted to meet after so long a._5eparation ; but ol'coursc did not know each other, as they were but little more than children when they parted.

Some of the coldest nights and heaviest suowstorms have occurcd within the past, month; but as March “ came in like a lion ” it will, according to another old proverb, “ go out. like a lamb," and, therefore, we may look lor milder weather before lou". Finn 1N FENELON ls‘.tI.Ls.-â€"-About 5 o'clock last Tuesday morning the old building on the west side of Colbm-oc street. just north of Bond street, and 0p»- posite the residence of Dr. A. Wilson, was destroyed by lire, together with the whole of its contents. It. was owned by Mr. E. Fitzgerald, and occupied by Mr. Wm. Roberts, who commenced business as a blacksmith in it. about a month one. There was no insurance on the building; but the tenant", had 8200 on his tools, stock &c.
