Fenelon Falls. Out. ' _____._....â€"â€"â€"â€"-â€"â€" The Feuclon Falls Gazette. Friday. October 2nd, 1891. No Compromise. The Week, commenting upon the ma- jority report of the committee on the Cochrane affair, says: " When a majori- ty of twenty five in the Canadian House of Commons, all ofw‘nom are supposed to have heard or read the evidence, can solemnly declare by their votes that the sums of money received by those who received the" appointments in question were voluntary contributions, and that there was no evidence of knowledge and complicity on the part of the representa- itve of the riding, it is evident that there is no longer anything to hope for from the high moral sense of the House as at present constituted.” ‘ but The Week, after remarking that Mr. Cochrane's'guilt was not proved by evi- dence that would have warranted a ver dict of guilty in a court- of justice, ex- presses its regret that the Opposition did not modify its report accordingly, in which case, it thinks, no majority, however subservient, would have voted it. down. In other words, what The Week means is, that the Opposition’s rc-p port should have been so milk-und-wutâ€" cry that Tories could agree to it, and Mr. Cochrune would have escaped with the unanimous but comparatively mild censure of the Committee. But the Opposition did their plain and obvious duty, which was to “ boldly nominate a spade, a spade," and the entire odium of saving Mr. Cochrsne'from the fitting punishment of his misdeeds had to be incurred by his political friends. A “ coalition " report would no doubt have been highly pleasing to them; but if they expected‘that the Opposition would agree to any compromise of principle they were greatly mistaken. - m Fenclon Agricultural bhow. ' The annual full show of the Fenelon Branch Agricultural Society was held in the park south of the River on Mon- day and Tuesday lost; but we could not get the prize list in time for this week's Gazette. The show was some- thing better than that of last year, though not much to boast of; and the weather being very fine, though the sec- ond day was unpleasantly windy, there was a very fair attendance of spectators. There was a very good exhibit of horses, many of then. fine ones; but cattle were not so numerous as they should have been, nor Were they as “slick "' looking as animals brought on to a show ground are expected to be. There were just twelve lots of sheep and only. five pigs and the coops of poultry, were not quite as numerous as lost your. Where the entries are so few as they. are at most of the local exhibitions it is useless to psrticulnrizc, as almost every animal or articleworth mentioning gets a. ticket, and the owner’s name appears in the prize list. As usual, Mr..Robson, of the Cameron Luke foundry, was on the ground with a fine show of implements, and the Sylvester foundry, of Lindsay, was also Well represented. The show of grain, fruit sad vegetables was great- ly superior to that of last year, but there Were very few entries of bread, cheese or butter. The ladies' depart- ment was fully up to the average, though we have. seen for less vacant space on the walls of the same ball ; but that was when the village merchants used to help the show by sending some of the most attractive wares from their respective stores. - The charms of music were not wanting, as Mr. A. ll. Brad. show was present with two very fine i organs, (one by Bell of Guelph,.aml “3° So far so good; ' other from the Berliu fnctory,) stewhich Mr. Leonard Smith presided. though visitors who wished to do so were nllovr~ ed try the instruments. In the of tor-neon of the Second day there was the inevitable trotting match. and. a. short time before it commenced, an uccidcut. though fortunately not a serious one, occurred. Just as Mr. E. R. Edwards was in the not of turning his buggy on the track. the trotting horse Valentino came along at. a rattling pace, and the left shaft of the snlky went between twa of the spokes of u hind wheel of the buggy, which was thrown on to its side, Mr. Edwards jumping out and nlighting on his feet. Neither he nor Mr. Hickâ€" ey, the owner of Valentine, was hurt, nor did either of the horses receive a scratch ; but the bugs: team spranu forward so suddenly that they broke a. tug and a whifli :trcc, and tho sulky was rather badly duunged. . North Verulam. Correspondence of the Gazette. The chipmunk exterminatch of Bu. ry's Green held their minunl shooting on the 17th inst.., and as it was a very fine day there was a good turn out of the boys. At about 5 o'clock in the morning the first shot was fired, and from that time until 6 i the evening guns were heard about'evory minute, and a grout number of game of all kinds were brought in. A grand supper was provided by Mr. R. Gamble, and after supper two captains were appointed and chose sides, and the game was counted. There were seven hundred and twenty- nine chipmunks killed during the day. The sportsmen making the most points received prizes. Among the winners were Messrs. John Armstrong, James Armstrong, 0 Hopkins, W. Gamble, E. Hopkins and T. Akister. After the prizes had been given a very pleasant evening. was spent in ths'psrlor. v There were songs, readings and r'ecitn'tious, and instrumental music wus‘supplicd by Mr. R. Gamble on an accordeon. The pro- gramme was brought to a close by all the boys going outside and firing off their guns, aftervmich each young man took home his best girl. ‘ Mr. John Newlmuse, who left here last spring for Kent County, near Lake Eric, is back visiting friends, and he speaks well of that country. Mr. Thomas Walker is very sick at present with pleurisy in his side. We hope for his speedy recovery. m Personals. , Mr. G. F. Cnirnie, one of the G. T. R.'s civil engineers, was at the Falls yesterday morning, on his way from Huliburton (where he has been station ed for some time past) to Pcterborough. While here he took measurements for a new railway bridge above the Falls, but could give us no information as to when it is likely to he built. Miss Fitzgerald and her brother, Mr. Edward Fitzgerald. loft yesterday morn- ing to visit their sister, Mrs. E. B. Bor- lnnd, at Milwaukee. Wisconsin. _ Mrs. John Austin, accompanied by the youngest thrne of her children, left this morning to visit her sister at Grand Rapids, Michigan.

A Sunsrirorn Gor.â€"Mr. Thomas Johnston, of this village. has been cho- sen as a substitute for Mr. Peter Modal re the anti Barron protest. Bro. Hughes tells us that there were twenty candi- dates for the position, but does not in- form us..who the other nineteen were, or why Mr. Johnston had the preference. Srormuo roa A FlGRT..â€"Mnjor.s:lul Hughes (of the Warrior) says that no. thing .would please him butter than leading a Canadian contingent in the event of England being involved in the predicted European war. Sam's a. hero,. as everybody knosvs; and it may yet. behis good luck to expire .horoically from the effects of a bullet through some part of his anatomy, or a. sudden attack of bayonet in the bowuls. So mote it be. Baum Su.u;ss.-â€"-At a late hour. on Monday nizht us Mr. John Scholl, Sr., of Scrum-ville, was driving to Fem-Ion Falls with a horse and buggy to get some repairs to a pnrtof his threshing machine, his horse took fright. at 80inc- thing about a mile distant from the vil- lage, and kicked itself away from the rig. or the rig from it. \lr Schell, who is getting old, threw himself out, and, although no bones were broken, received such a shaking up that he had Dr. Wil- son to minister to his needs. . Eons.â€"-During a period of but littlth ‘ more than six weeks the “ Rod Store 'v‘, has shipped on hundred ciscs of eggs A to Thompson & 00., of Prescott. All each case contains forty~niue doxen. the total number of eggs was 58,800, which is pretty good for one store. How many have been sent away by tho other store: we do not know; but in all probability at. least-half a a million eggs. Worth $5.000 are handled every season by our village merchants. ‘ Hoar AT run SHOW.â€"-On Tuesdev last, the second day of the agricultural show. while Mr. Wm. Issue, of Fenclnn, was sitting on the counter of a booth put up for the sale of rcfreshmentsvthc roof, upon which :1 number of boys bad climbed, suddenly fell upon him and bruised him sufficiently to render the attentions of Dr. Wilson nocessurv. There were several men on the common but all escaped except .llr. Isaac, nod his injuries, we are glad to learn, are not at all serious. ‘ ACCIDENT.-â€"On Thursday of lost week, Samuel John Moore, aged 6 yew, son of Mr. John Moore, of Fenclon, met with a. painful accident while his parents were at the Central Exhibition at Lindsay. His brathcr was plough« ing, and in the evening the little fellow went to the field for the purpose of got. ting a ride home. He bravely climbed on to one of the horses, but. not being no efiicicnt jockey, he fell off and broka his left arm just above the elbow. Dr. Graham was immediately summoned. and, after administering chloroform. set the nrm, which is now doing as well us can be expected. ‘ PARTltIDGES.â€"On Wednesday even‘ mg a partridge flow through one of the panes of gloss over the door of McDon~ . I gall & Brandon's store, and fell M; the , feet of Mr. Fred. Cullon. Before he could stoop to pick it up, it recovered su'flicienly to fly out at the open door; but was so stunned or dazed that it dropped at the other side of the street, _ and was caught by Mr. John T. Thomp‘ son, who immediately wrung its. neck. The next morning another partridge made its appearance in the business part of the village. When first-seen it was coming from behind Mr. Jordan's corner store, and, after crossing .Ccl- borne street, it alightcd at the roar of Ingrnm‘s hall, where it walked around I for a few minutes, butwus gouc bcl'ore' anybody could get a gun. A NARROW ESCAPE. ~chlcrday sf~ ternoon, while Messrs. Thomas Henley, Andrew Torrance and Thomas MoDuir- mid wcrc pulling dowu the largo ice- house on Mr. John A. Ellis’s mill site, one of the boots fell, and Mr. Torrance, who could not get out. of the way in time, was caught beneath it. The wall being groutcd with saw-dust, and con-- sequcutly very heavy, it is a wonder he was not killed outright, and the men who immediately set to work to remove the mess beneath which he was com- pletely hidden, almost. expected to find him dead. He is badly bruised on the back and breast, there is a nasty out on his face, and Dr. Wilson, who is attend- ing him, is not yet quitc certuin theta one of his ribs is not'brokcn ; but, unless he has received internal injuries, he will probably be out again in a few days. WW The twins of Lacona, rivals of the famous Siamese pair, have just arrived in New York. They are knows as the Tocci brothers and were born in Lacona, Italy, July, 4. 1875. They have one pair oflcgs, four arms and two heads. One head is of fair complexion, rosem- bling the morher, and speaks Italian and French. The other head is of dark complexion, like the father, and speaks German and English. The 'I‘occi broth- ers usually eat with both mouths. Two men. in a. bout were fishing at Dnytonn, Fln., last week. One of the men hooked a big tarpon, and, having a. very small line, was compelled to hu- mor him in his meanderings, which lasted for seven hours. After the tar- pon had towed the boat containing the two man» up and down from ten in tho , morning until five. in the afternoon, they succeeded in shooting him and then pulled him ashore. When weigh- ed, he tipped the scales at seventy-five pounds. The town of St. Croix, in the Jurs, having 13,000 inhabitants, was very dc- sirousof having a railway. Several plans Wen: formulated, but before any- thing dcfinitc could be settled a philan- thropist [named William. Bar-hey Oficf'Od to build the lino at his own expense, upon the condition that traffic should be entirely suspended on Sundays. The proposal was accepted, and Mr. Burbey and a few friends are furnish. ing the capital required, this being ce- timcted at £92,000. .
