Fenelon Falls, April‘z’ith, 1891. The VFenclon Falls Gazette. - ‘ Friday. May 6th,1892. Two Reform Victories. low, the Liberal candidate in Toronto, was elected by a majority of 316 over his opponent, and in Welland, on the same day, Mr. J. A.~Lowell, the Liber- al candidate, was elected by a majority of 300; which is such cheering news, after a long string. of‘revcrscs, that if we had a type-metal rooster in our office aviary we should feel inclined to insert uim right here. But we took the pre- caution of not buying one. and so can’t be guilty of the piece of childishness to which our Tory jcontenipornries are intolerany addictedz‘ In Toronto the results surprised evervbody, as the city was considered so much under Tory rule that many Liberals did not want to put a candidate in the field, in which they were fortunately overruled, and Mr. Bigclow, who has numerous rejoic- ing relatives in Lindsay, where he was raised, (if not born,) has achieved a splendid victory;‘which is attributed partly to his personal populirity, partly to local “ factors)", and partly to the dc- sire of many Conservatives as well as all ,Reformcrs to express their admiration of Mr. Mowat by sending him another, but totally unnecessary, supporter. In Welland,â€"which, being a border constituency, suffers greatly from the N. P. and the McK. T.,â€"t_he contest was for a seat in the House of Commons, and notwithstanding the eloquence and influence of the supporters of the Tory candidate, he was left; out in the Cold. The Toronto News (Conservative) says: “The result in Welland is a rebuke to the Government that pledged itself to punish wrong-doors wherever found, and then shielded Caron from investi- gation. It is a proper answer, me, to the scandalous olfcr‘nf a bribe in the form of postvof‘fice buildings and bridges in return for the votes of the electors. If that defeat leads the Government to live up to the professions of a year ago, it will be the best thing that ever hap- pened the Conservative party.” Tribute to Mr. netâ€"ckéilzie. Rev. Dr. Wild's sermon in Toronto last Sunday night was a warm eulogium on thclatc Hon. Alexander Mackenzie, whom he spoke of as one who “ chose a good name rather than great riches,” “ an incorruptiblc politician,” “ a good and great man, " “ a christian, a patriot, a noble citizen and high-minded states- , man ”; and who shall say that. his ' words of praise were “a whit too strong. l In the course of his remarks Dr. Wild , told how Mr. Mackenzie, when prc- l micr, paralyzed and made cnmnics of the ; members of .a deputation who wanted 3 him to sanction a certain piece of' job- . bery, by rising from his scat in righteous indignation and excluimingz “Gentle { men, l demand from you a reason why gyothink I am a sconndrcl, for Surely jyou inn 3. think i am to ask me to in- chl election, _ he said “Gentlemen, I Carried. warn you. that. it I am elected and in , my l’uriimcntary service I shall find at the latter.

Fancy such words as Mr. Mockcnzic's coming from the mouth of any Tory premier, and try to decide which of the whole would have been the least unlikely to have uttered them. Mr. Abbott and his coadjutor Sir John Thompson spoke. bravely not long ago when their imagin- ations were unusually active; but. “ ac‘ tions speak louder than words " and their subsequent action regarding ti 0 Edgar charges show that their promises. meant nothing and that power at any price is their motto. Mr. Mackenzie, in the words of Dr. Wild, “will rank as a peer with the noble and great of our beloved Canada "; and “ the story of his humble origin and triumphant cnding, the work done, the honorable position attained and the good name left, surely cannot wholly fail to be an incentive to the young men ofour coun- try to act a noble part." Mechanics’ Institute Proceedings. Eenelou Falls, May 2nd, 1892. The annual general meeting of the members of the Fcnelon Falls Mechan- ics Institute was held this evening at 8.30, the president, Mr. Thus. Robson, in the chair. The secretary, Mr. Junkiu, read the following aunqu and financial report, showing the success of the Institute in the past year, and its present financial standing: To the members thlie Fenclon Falls Mechanics’ Institute. Gsx‘rnnnux :â€" Your directors would, in this their fourteenth annual report, submit the following statement, in reference to the year just closed. When your present board were elected to ofiice in May, 1891, they found the sum of $34 30 on hand, and an indebtedness of $19, balance due Williamson 52: Co. on newspaper account. During the your there were issued 122 tickets, the proceeds of which were $92. The grant from the Government was $220. The county grant, $75. The municipal council of the village grant, $35. . . The annual sale of papers and magazines realized, $30 73. During the year we had the Cosgrove family for two nights in musical concert, which netted $18 35. On civic holiday sports were held'iu the park and a concert at night, which, aided by a very liberal subscription from the business men of the village, netted $48 20, making the total receipts for the year 553 58. ' During the year we have procured a fine large book case for the library, and thoroughly renovated and painted the read- ing room, making it at the present time the most comfortable and cherriest in the county. The library has received an addition of 253 volumes, making the total number for circulation and reference 1857. The num- ber of papers and magazines on the tables is 3-1, all ofwhich are well perused. Your board have to record their regret at the losing of the valuable services of Mr. W. E. Ellis, late treasurer, and Mr. E. Fitzgerald, one of the directors, by removal from the village. Mr. Ellis's position as treasurer was filled at the January meeting. by the election of Mr. W. '1‘. Junkin. Your directors would hereby bear testi- mony to the:very eflicicnt manner in which your librarian has performed his duties during the year. In conclusion, your directors are very pleased to have had so successful a your, and hope that the new directorate may be still more successful in the incoming year. We append herewith an abstract state- ment of the finances and also of circulation of library. RECEIPTS. As pct-report .......$553 58 EXPENDITURES.

Another Fire in Omemee. â€".â€"- Adisasterous fire, the third within three years, broke. out in the village of Omcmec about ten o'clock last Friday night, and before it burnt itself out,â€"â€"- for. owing to want ol'upplianccs, nothing could bu done to stop it,â€"propcr1y to the estimated value of nearly $10,00u was destroyed. The fire originated in the. roar of D. Minns' harness shop in u building owned by Mr. Thomas Sto- phenson, and quickly spread cast and west until six places of business and a dwelling were burned. The losses and insurancos, as far as we can learn, were as follows:â€"-T. J. Parsons. grocery, dwelling and stables. loss 84.000, insurr aucc, $2.600; George and John Morriâ€" son, merchants, loss $3.000, insurance 31.800; D. Minus. harness shop, loss $600, insurance 8400; Samuel Lamb, butcher, loss $100, no insurance; Win. Miller, merchant tailor, small loss, no insurance; J. R. Hand, Recorder, plant nearly all saved, loss covered by insur- ance; T. M. Everett, watchmakcr, no insurance; T. Johnston, barber, small loss, no insurance. One account says that Mr. Stephenson had 3500 on his building; another that it. was uninsured. The Recorder, Mr. Miller and M. Ever-I ett were located in a building owned by Mr. Lundy, of Peter-borough; but whether it and the village lockup, which was also destroyed, were insured or not. we do not know, although it is most likely that they were. The fire is said to have been undoubtedly the work of an incendiary, as was also said of" thcprccedinpr twoâ€"one in August last and one in May 1890; and it is to be hoped that, if any clew to the perpetrator exists, it will be followed without regard. to trouble or expense until he is caught. and handed over to justice. Death of an Old Acquaintancc. The Fullerton Journal, of Orange Co., California. announces the death on Saturday, April 9th, of Mr. John Hun- ter, formerly a resident of this county, and the Barrie Examiner, the editor- of which paper is a nephew'of the dc- ceased, contains the following obituary notice: “ John Hunter, was born in Dumfrio- shire, Scotland, and came to this country in 18:45. He lived in Canada for about; 26 years, mostly at Kimnount, Victoria County, and while there he sat in the County Council for some time as Reeve of Somervillc township. He owned a. gristmill and a sawrnill at Kiumount, and was postmaster and justice of the peace there, for many years. In earlier times his name was familiar in Bobcay- gcon and the townships north of that place. He left Canada for California with his family in 1871, thinking that a milder climate would improve his health, as he suffered from rheumatism." Deceased was 67'ycars of age, and leaves a wife, three sons and three daughters to mourn his loss. l Moved by Mr. McKenzie, seconded l ments, Dr. Graham in the chair. 1 dorsc what you propose "; and how at by Mr. Sutherland That the annual and in reform convention held before a gen- financial report as read be adopted.â€" Village Council.
