McIntosh, of Toronto, agent of English capitalists on the look- out for investments in Canada, arrived at the Falls on Friday last, and was joined on Saturday by an old country gentleman of considerable means, but whom we are not likely to see again, as be is going to Australia. It is rumoured that their object in coming to the Falls was to make enquiries regarding min- erals; but Mr. McIntosh was so impres- sed by our magnificent water power, which for several years has been idle, that he procured a map of the village and several photographic vicws'with llie‘intcution of sending them to his employers in England, who, he thinks, will probably buy it and all the mills if the executors of the Smith estate will sell at a fair figure. Mr. McIntosh’s it'lz'sl is to use the stone building for the purpose for which it was erected, viz, a itillinery and. Millinery Regulates. the State?! Ctl‘l‘ttl Styles!

Barron, Q. C., expressing his great gratitude for the kind support accorded him by the Liberals of. North Victoria while he represented their principles in the riding, and saying that it is proper that they should know that he must no didatc in the future. While we regret Mr. Barron‘s withdrawal from active political life, it does not surprise us in the least. for in these days of gerryman- dcrs and reptile funds it is almost im- possible for a Reformer who hasn’t a -‘ private fortune or a very large income from his business or profession to retain his seat in the Parliament. We mean. of course, a Reformer who, like our Lute member, is a credit to his constituency and a,tlmru iii the side of the corruption- ists. Everybody lcnows the extraordiâ€" nary eiforts that ware madeâ€"unlmppily successfullyâ€"to defeat Mr. Barron. and everybody knows the means by which that end was attained; for, as We said before, he had done nothing between the last two cloutions to alienate tliu electors and the rodnubtablc Sam ll ughcs had done nothing: to conciliatc them. )1 r.

These minerals come from all sections of the Province.

Ontario’s Minerals. The World’s Fair at Chicago will be the first exhibition that has ever done justice to the minerals ofOntario. Can ada has been allotted 10.000 feet altoâ€" l of lime. Then from Western Ontario come gypsum, petrolium, marl. salt, terra-cotta clay and various kinds ol building stone. Around Sudbury and the north shore of Lake Huron are found rich deposits of nickel, Copper and iron, while further west again are silver, mar- ble and lead ;, in fact these are found all over the northern portion ofthe ProvinCc. A. fact not generally known, even in the Province itself, but which this exhibit will fully show the world, is that in va- rious parts of Ontario, such as Renlrew, Cornwall, Frontenac and some of the northern districts, the finest marbles and granites, grey, black, white and brown, to be obtained anywhere in the world, are found. llon. A. S. Hardy, Commissioner of Crown Lands, is deter- mined to have the mineral resources of this Province properly advertised to the world, and looks at the coming fair as Ontario’s opportunity. By his direction every effort is being made to assist the Ontario Commissioner for the fair to se- cure a collection worthy of the Province, and which it is naturally well able to produce. Drinking Water. A new comer to the village asked us, two or three evenings ago, why we did not advocate supplying the lower part of the village with good drinking water, brought down through an underground pipe from the spring near the head of Colboriie street to a fountain at or near where Francis street crosses it. Old res- idents of the village need not be told that the project was “ ventilated,” both in the Gazette and out of it, a few years ago; but nothing was done, because suf- ficient money to carry the project into effect could not be raised by private sub- scriptions, and it was taken for granted that the ratepayers would not vote in fa- vor of a tax on the whole for the benefit of a few. It will do no harm, however, to revive the project, and perhaps those who take it in hand this time may have better luck than their predecessors, though we do not feel very sanguine about it. Those to whom the water could be brought within easy reach are not sufficiently numerous to share the expense between them, and, moreover, are all or nearly all tenants, and conse- quently would not care to Sllanl'lbt) any considerable sum. Everybody can get water, such as it is, somewhere, and as it appears to bc uninjurious, if not very palatable, probably few \vould care to pay, in these hard times, for the luxury of a better article. How much it would cost to carry the project into client we do not know, but it could not be any very great sum, and the exact amount could easily be ascortaiued, as there is, we presume, a catalogue of the prices of fountains, and Mr. Win. McArthur can be asked how much per rod he paid [or digging his celebrated ditch from Bond street to within a low feet of the crock north of his terrace. The Lock-up. In ccnsqueiico of representations made to the council on Monday night, the ruevo, two of the councillors and Constable Nevison went to the market square on Tut-slay afternoon to inspect the lock-up, which they found in a badly dilapidated c0ndition, the walls, which are of stone, showing a disposition to separate :it the corners. The best thing to do, in our opinion, is to tinker it, up so it will hold together for a couple of years, by which time the railw:iy bonus will be paid all", and then to borrow enough money to purchase a god steam fire engine, which is badly needed, and build an engine house with a lock-up behind The present “ stone jug" hasn't had a tenant for a long time, and the next one is not. at all likely to try to break out, as a sight of the walls will at once convince him that an assault upon them will probably bring the roof down upon his head.
