Fenelon Falls, Out. m The Fenelon Falls Gazette. Friday, April 3rd. 1891. The Census. Mr. Hugh McDougall, of this village, has been “ teaching school " in Jordan’s hall since Monday morning last. Mr M Dougall has received the afpointment of Census Commissioner for North Vicâ€" toria, and his pupils are the twenty-two deputies who are to do the actual work under his instructions and superintend- ence. The census, it. appears, is to be taken on a much more complicated plan than that of ten years ago, and the duties of the deputies are so difficult to learn that two of them are alleged to have given up the task in despair, and several of the others are making but slow progress. During the week _they are under drill they receive 83 each per day; but what their pay will be after they commence their rounds of Monday next we have been unable to learn. Mr. Thomas Austin is to take the census in this village, and he and all the other deputies ought to be sworn to secrecy, as a new feature of the coming census â€"â€"and one that ought to detect the Dominion Government at the next elec- tionâ€"is, that all the ladies, single as well as married, are to be asked their ages, and, notwithstanding the insufl'er. able impertinence of the question, Will be expected to give truthful answers. W Forestry. To the Editor of the Fenelon Falls Gazette. SIR,â€" . If you can afford space, I should like to mention to your readers that the new forestry report for Ontario is now, ready, and will be sent to all who send me their addresses. It is sent free of all charges, being distributed by the Ontario Government in the interest of forest preservation. (Address No. 251?: Richmond St., Toronto.) It will be found to contain much of interest to all who care for trees and who wish to see a proper proportion of woodland re-‘ tained in the country. There is also much of value with reference to plant- ing and shelter in fruit growing. . The. literature lhus distributed with the use 08’ the press, for which I have to thank yourself and many other edit- ors, is, I am glad to say, being product- ive of valuable results. Many more trees are yearly being planted, greater interest is taken and‘morc care bestow- ed in the maintenance of the small for- ests yet left standing in our farming districts. ' It is .to be. hoped that still greater progress will .shortly be made.

At the request of several promâ€" inent ratepayers, Mr. James Dickson has consented to accept the office, which he fillcd very creditany a. few years ago ; but, as it is impossible for any man in this world of grumblers to please every- body, hc may not be allowed to “ walk the course.” Should he have opposition, the election will take place on Monday, April 13th. DOING Wanâ€"Among the few who- arc doing well just at present in Fenclon Falls is Mr. R. M. Mason, our geniat and popular veterinary surgeon, whose practice has grown so large that he has been compelled to secure the services of an assistant, Mr. J. W. Smclscr, a grad- uate of the Ontario Veterinary College at Toronto, who arrived at the Falls on Wednesday. It used to be the opinion of a good many, ourselves included, that a “ vet " could hardly make a liv- ing in this village; but Mr. Mason has shown us how mistaken we all wereâ€"no doubt because be thoroughly under- stands his profession, is modoratc in his charges, and gives satisfaction to all who employ lllll). BROKE Tuaouou.-â€"â€"On Saturday or - Monday last (our informant was not sure which) a farmer named Silas O’Brien lost his team, sleigh and a load of grain, which broke through the in.) on Mud Turtle Lake near Norlnnd, and. we shall probably soon hear of other» casualties of a similar nature. Every spring there is a whole string of them, because people will persist in walking. or driving on ice after it becomes dono- gerous to do so. The ice on Cameron Lake was crossed on Wednesday by one of Brandon & McDougall's teams. ' and last spring, when it was not as thick as it is this season, Dr. Mason drove -- over it in a buggy on the 15th of April ; but, after the rain and mild weather we have had oflate, even the Cameron Lako we must be getting unsafe in some places, , and pcOplo who have a due regard for - their lives will not venture on it much. longer. A SHORT FlGHT.â€"-Last Saturday ~ evening two-young men from Vcrulam, who have long been on bad terms, met in the village, and from words might. havo proceeded to blows, but for tho» appearance of Constable N‘cvison upon the scene. After his departure they resumed their quarrel, and finally agreed to go to the sandpit outside the corpor- ation and fight it out, “rough and tumâ€". ble, catch an catch can ” until one cried ‘. “Enough,” and then to be good friends ever afterwards. The encounterâ€"which was witnessed by a crowd of spectators . estimated at from one hundred to don- ble that numberâ€"did not last long; for at the very first rush one of tho pugil- ists, whom we will call “ E,’,’ throw the . other, whom we willdcsignatc as “ P,” ‘ and pounded him until he gave the pro- conccrtcd signal of satiety. Tho ques- tion as to which is the better man of the two having been thus, settled, we, hope. .thclagrccment; about. being good ' friends! will' be carried out.
