Fcnelon Falls, March 8th, 1893, 'l‘he Fcnelon Falls Gazette. Friday. April 14th, 1893. ‘ How a Vote Was Made. Mr. Didace Grise of Midland, who some years ago was in business at. the Falls, was here this week and left; yester- day morning to instruct some lawyer in Lindsay to enter an action against this municipality for allowing his house and lot south of the river to be entered on the nonresident roll and sold. for taxes. When he went to Midland he told James Somers, an indigent person who has been in bad health for many years, that he might occupy the house if he would pay the taxes, and the property, which was not worth much, was assessed to Grisc as owner and Somers as tenant, and the latter paid the taxes until it oc- curred to some astute person that it would be a good idea to give Somers. a vote; so Mr. Grise's name was dropped and the property was valued at $200 and assessed to Somcrs as owner. But. this dodge raised the taxes, which Som- ers refused or neglected to pay any long- or, and the result; was that the property was put on the non-resident roll and in due course sold for. taxes, Mr. Grise knowing nothing about it until some time afterwards. That he should seek redress is only. natural. and that he will obtain it. there can , be no doubt. As our interview with Mr. brief that he could only give us the above facts, and as we have not had time to hunt up the particulars, we do not yet know who is to blame for this bit of exceedingly sharp practise: but we shall not be long long in ignorance on that point. Assuming the facts to be. as stated by Mr. Grise, there can be no doubt that the sale of his property was illegal, and, thereforc, the corpora- tion will act wisely in making the best possible terms with him and settling without going to law. At it Again. Released from his duties at Ottawa, Major Hughes is at his old game of self- praisc, (which is no recommendation,) and in'the last issue of the l'l’urdcr blows his own horn to a most. amusing extent. Not satisfied with giving himself credit for almost; everything that has been done for the benefit of the town and county since he came to Lindsay, he is actually doing,r his best. to cultivate the conceit of his boy and girl, for in an article upon a proposal made to, and favorably consid- ered by, the town council to keep child- ren under 14 years old oil the street. after 9 o’clock at night, he says: "Much as we respect. the superior judgmentol' that august body, both in- dividually and collectively, we say it with all deference, we would rather trust to the sound common sense ofonr own twelve year old boy and ninc year old girl than to their collective wisdom; aye. and that- with all the counsel and guidance of the whole clergy and church societies of Lindsay thrown in.” Verily, Sam’s organs of self-esteem and approbativcness are inordinately dc- vel)ped, and he. evidently believes that” ‘ I. v A . - I (“we was 5’5 fora long t1me“toreman for the Hart undas & Flavelle Brothers, Dealers in Dry, Goods, Clothing, Milliner , , It the Hughescs, big and little, have more sense, wisdom, personal beauty and valor than all the other members of the community put. together. Mr. McMahon’s Grow. In the summer of 1889 some member of Mr. James McMahon's family at Rosedale got a young crow, which be- came quite tame, but, left in the lull with the other crows, and it. was sup- posed that he would get wild during the winter. But next. spring he reappeared at McMahon’s as familiar as ever, and since then has regularly spent the winter months with his fellow crows and the rest. of the year with his human friends. Last summer his wings were cut to keep him from flying across about half a mile of water to Birch Island, where Mr. Delamerc, barrister, of Toronto, has a summer residence. Mr. D: children. of course, got. acquainted with the bird, which, being both imitative and indus- trious, volunteerci to assist them in weeding the garden, but did so much mischief that his wines were clipped to keep him at home. Some of the feath- ers must have dropped out and been replaced by new ones, for he managed to leave in the fall, and to keep out of harm's way during the winter; for on the lat inst. he turned up all right. at. Mr. McMahon’s, walked over to the kitchen cupboard, in which he knew eat.- ablcs were kept, and soon afterwards started a tight with one of the boys. with whom he was always on bad terms. Mr. McMahon says the crow never interferes with the chickens, but is inclined to pick up. small articles and carry them away ;, and last year Mrs. McMahon threatened to take his life for stealing a needle case and sewing machine screw-driver and. hiding them in a boiler.

The soil and conditions there have led to numerous such C'tSei, but perhaps none more complete than this. It was the body of Mrs. Ernest lllrgers, which was buried about ten yours ago. The body was found, as most of the petrclied ones are, in a pool of muddy water. The form was almost ‘ intact, the features being easily recog-v _ nisablc. Nine men were needed to lift. the body from the grave. It Weighed 900 pounds. Some of the clothing had. also been preserved. ' ' '
