Mr. Ware, Baptist minister at Lindsay, was found in the water at Cedar Springs, something over amilc west of Sturgeon Point hotel. He went to the Point with Dr. Burrows on Wednesday evening, passed the night . at a friend’s cottage, got up early in the morning and went for a ramble, and was not afterwards seen alive. As far we can learn at present, the manner in which he got into the water will always remains. mystery. lie was about 40 years of age, and leaves a wife and four children to mourn his untimely end. â€"â€"m~ .. » rm. The Tory Panacea. On the next page will be found “ Anti- llumbug’s ” comments upon a letter from a farmer’s wife in last week's ll’arder and Sam Hughes’s reply thereto, the length of which plainly shows how much the worthy woman’s well founded com- plaints disconcerted him- What we wish particularly to draw attention to is the Tory panacea for all the evils with which farmers are aftticted. One of the ingredients is “work harder" and the other is “spend less.” The prescription was, as far as we remember, first formu- lated during the last general Dominion election by a Tory orator who had the inell'able impudencc to tell his hearers to “ get up earlier ” if they found that they couldn’t make a living by work- ing during the usual long hours, to wear the cheapest and commonest clothing, and to have nothing in their houses but the most absolutely necessary furniture and utensils. It was a wonder to us then, and it has always been so since, that a speaker who thus insulted an au- dience offarniers was not hissed off the platform. Farmers and their families are just as much entitled to the comforts and elegancies of life as any other class; and the sad fact that they are not as Well able to alford them is owing to the exorbitant taxes indirectly, but. none the loss really, wrung from them by the mur- derous policy of which Sam Hughes is One of the apologists. W Athletic Club. A few weeks ago a number of our enterprising young men decided to make an effort to organize an athletic associ- ation in this village. The directors of the skating rink kindly consented to allow them the use of that spacious building for a gymnasium. A meeting was he d in the dressing room on May 1st. 1t. DoLuiy was appointed presi- dent of the association, J. Clark secre- tary, I‘I.1)t0b.i()ll treasurer and J. Clark, D. Twomey, ll. Austin and H. Robson, committee. Rules and regulations were drawn up, and the price of admission set at 31. A list of ten members was soon obtained, and the necessary instruments of torture, including boxing gloves,,Iu- diau clubs, dumb-bolls, shots, quoits etc. have been procured. A tram-m, acting liar and tight rope are to be erected, and the ll‘cnclon Falls Athletic Association will commence their muscle-making exercises as soon as the floor of the rink is in a suitable condition. Accidents. » On Friday last Mr. WmnMagce; who- is employed in Ellie's mill, got his right hand badly cut by the saw he was tend- ing, and, as'both our doctors were away from home, Mr. W. T. J-unkin‘ dressed ' . ‘say since Tuesday visiting friends: and bandaged the wound, and‘ did3 it. well, too. None of the bones being in- furedg the hand“ will soon be as useful as ever; but, of course; a- scar‘ will remain as a memento of the accident. On last Saturday evening Mr. John Austin came home with a rag around his left thumb, which on. the morning of the same day get canght'between two cog wheels in his mill at Kinmount. l‘ill'.‘Al13tlD was down stairs doing some- thing to the gearing, and a man on the upper floor started the machinery. The accident, though not. very serious, was exceedingly painful, as the point of the thumb, including the nail, was split open. ” An Old Time Performance.” The stage has experienced such a change from 20 years ago that it is comedy or drama: everything runs to the sensational. “Uncle Tom's Cabin,” when first produced, was considered to Since then, however, cheap and inferior companies have produced the play, dis- regarding the original idea ot the piece and: giving a poor performance. Mr. Burtch has this season organized a company of unusual strength. and has surrounded them- with a wealth of exâ€" ccllent efi‘ccts, scenery, &'o. We do not double “ Uncle Tom’s Cabin," but faith- fully prescnt the play. as it was written and played years ago. The bloodhounds are not poor, half starved creatures, but fine specimens of the ferocious man- cating canine race. The allegory scene features of the performance, requiring 1,500 feet of canvas. and. the services of 12' people for its complete representation. 5 This company will give one complete performance at Fenelon Falls on Tues- day, May 23rd, at 8 p. m.â€"Arlu. M Powles’h Corners. Correspondence of the Gazette. Farmers in this section are not getting along very fast with their work owing to the wet state of the land. There have been great discoveries in science and art since the ground has been what wo would call dry. Not much wheat has been sown in this part compared with other years. There have been (puith number of tramps on the road this spring and they all seem anxious for work. Mr. E. W. Glaspell lost a. young cow lately. Mr. G. consulted Dr. Mason of Feuelon Falls but it was too late. Mr. John Byers also lost one; such losses at this time of the year are heavy and can hardly be estimated. Mr. W. A. Gillis’s Holsticn bull made a bold attempt a few days ago to do bodily injury to him, but he luckily escaped. ' Dr. Mason performed a very skilful operation with a cow owned by Mr. Jas. Miller. Since then Mr. ill. speaks very highly cf the doctor's ability. There are two gentlemen, in. Fcnelon Falls that we could not spare very wellâ€"Dr. M asrn and Joseph Heard. School Board Meetings.
