The Fenelon » Falls litizeitd. Friday. August 2nd, 1895. He’s English. In almost every human bosom there lurks a more or less strong desire for distinctionâ€"a yearning for fame; and those who cannot achieve it by their own talents or efi‘orts are always ready to claim relationship, or even acquaint- anceship, with those who can and do. It is the same with nations as with individuals. When Ned Haulan rose to fame as an oarsman the people across the lakes promptly claimed him and always spoke of him as an American until he was defeated, when they were quite ready to admit that the ex-champiou, having been born in the city of Toronto, was by nationality a Canadian, a fact they studiously ignored while he was at 'the head of the aquatic procession. "I‘lten William Beach loomed up largely and did wonders with a pair of sculls, and straightway almost everybody-â€" those who knew better as Well as these who didn’tâ€"spoke or wrote of him as an Australian, though he was born in England of English parents, and lived there until he was 19 years old. And now Private Hayhurst, who won the Queen’s prize at the recent rifle match at Bisley, and who was born in Kendal, Westmorelttnd, England, in 1868, is called a Canadian because he has lived here since June, 1893. The Queen's prize, which consists of the N R. A. gold medal, the N. R. A. badge and $250. may be called the blue riband of the butts, and he who wins it covers himself with inextinguishable gloryâ€"â€" but he doesn’t change his nationality. Ask Private Hayhurst what country- man he is, and "the flush will mount from cheek to brow as he tells of his If he had emigrated, after reaching manhood, to Ethiopia, it wouldn’t have converted hitn into an Ethiopian, and the fact that he came to Canada a short time ago doesn’t make him a Canadian. Every country that, from any cause, is but scantily supplied with native lions is anxious to lay claim to those of other nationalities, and British lions, particularly, are in active demand. Thistles and their Antidotes. Some years ago we published a short article which several papers thought was worth copyingâ€"and crediting too â€"though donkeys and thistlcs were the humble subjects commented upon. We do not remember what suggested our text at that time, but an incident we chanced to notice last Saturday evening recalled it to mind, and caused us to think that possibly a few words on the same subject might not be amiss. About the middle of last month a stray mule appeared at the Fan and roamed the Commons for three or four days, during which time it was repeatedly caught and ridden by boys, to whom it ode-red no violr-ncc, though it occasionally showed symptoms of an inclination to resent the liberties they took with it.| As there was a rumor that the animal had come from Kirkfield, Mr. Wind Johnston (who is employed on tho T.i V. C. work now in progress near thati village) rode it out on Monday of last! week and rode it home again on Satur. day evening, reaching his own gate on Francis street jlhl. as we were passing. At the rear end of Mr. Johnston's yard there is u parch of grass from which a few thistles have sprung up and are grosing vigorously: and We noticed regarded the grass that would have. been so tempting to a hungry llOl'SL‘ or i Prices are Tumbling right and left all over our Store, all for a reason. We rent pt valuable apart from their merits as ex- terminators of thistlcs. They are far stronger for their size than horses, live much longer. are less liable to become unsound. and will keep in good condition and work hard on coarse and cheap fodder. In European Countries the doc- key is called the poor man’s horse. and in this Dominion the N. P. is rapidly increasing the class to whom that kind of a horse will soon become necessary. Committed for Lunacy. Some days use a party of socalled gyp~ivs pitched their tent on the shore of Cameron lake between Mr. Byrncll’s farm and the Falls, and on Wednesday morning the head of the party, a tall, well-built, powerful man 42 years old, was arrested at the instanCo of his wife on a charge of lunacy and taken before Mr. Dickson as soon as possible there alter. Mrs. Watson, who was accom- panied to court by a man a. good deal older than herself and by one a. good deal younger, said that she and her husband had been married twelve years and were the parents of six children. four of whom were dead, that they came from Scotland, were Presbyteriaos in religion and had no settled p lace o abode; that her husband did not drink, had never committed any offence against the laws nor been at all violent; but that about six weeks ago he began to show signs of being out of his mind, in consequence, she. thought, of money losses. and that morning about half past 7 o'clock he said he would drown him- self. and immediately went to the lake and jumped in. She called to the men to help her, and when her husband saw them approaching he got to shore with- out assistance; and then, fearing he would do himself an injury, she came to the Falls and got constable Nevison to go out and arrest him. Her evidence was corroborated by her companions and not denied by her husband; and Mr. Dickson, having asked the ques- tions prescribed for such cases and written down the answers, committed him to the county jail, there to under- go the customary medical examination, and constable Nevison took him to Lind- say later in the day. The whole party appeared to be quite respectable, and Mrs. Watson, who is a pleasant speak~ ing, wellâ€"mannered woman, has evident- ly had fair educatiOnal advantages. She said that they Culiie last from Eldon and would go next. day to Lindsay, there to remain for some considerable time. The Cow By-law. By-law No. 311, passed on May 13th, permitted cows to run at large night and day from the first of April to the 1st of December, and geese were for- bidden to run at. large at any time, but by-luw No. 314, passed on June 15th, orders cows to be shut up during the months named from 8 at night until 6 in the morning, and allows geese the same freedom as cows. Councillor Slater says the change was made to please Councillor Sandford, who didn't want his geese to be imprisoned, and consequently managed to effect a com promise, to the detriment of the Cows north of the river, while those owned south of the river and which graze on the outskirts of the corporation, will, after a pretense of obeying the by-law has been made for a. little while, he allowed all their oldtime rights and privileges. Councillor Fitzgerald has achieved a. temporary victory, having secured the passage of an enactment that will either cause numerous cows to be half starved or compel their owners to spend money they can ill afford for food ', and this, too, just when the sup- pression of breachy or predatory cows by process of law had been commenced. But unless public opinion channg from what it is at present, the by-law will not be in force after next January. Personals. Miss Emily Hand left on Wednesday to visit her friend, Miss Bella Anderson, at Peterborough. M r. and Mrs. James Bray, who moved to Lindsay a year or more ago, are again residing at the Fills. Masters Charles and Orvnl Corbett left on Thursday to visit their friends and grandparents at Omemec. Mrs. and Miss Sullivan returned home on Tuesday from a visit. of nearly a. month to their relatives at Rochester, N. Y. Mr. and Mrs. John Crness of Mari- posa drove to the Falls last Friday to i visit their relatives at Mr. [“eir’s, and returner] home on Saturday. . Miss D.'Lury and her little brother cow and proceeded to devour the thistlcs, left on Wednesday morning for their with great apparent relish. What we; home at .‘lanilla. after a visit. of about said in the article above referred to was , three Weeks to their elder brother, Mr. that donkeys would be great aids inl clearing farms of thistles, which even! muhs, though onlv half ass. appear to preft'r to grass. ‘ grettel that there are not. more mulcs' and donkeys in Canada, as they arei Robert DeLury, at the Falls. Mr. A. Clark Jr. wont north on Tues- day afternoon on business, and before It is much to be re-i the end of the month he will leave on his annual fall trip to Winnipeg and other points in Manitoba. Messrs. E. Lytle, E. P. Smith and F. Webster of Cambray, Vernon Smith of Port Hope and Herbert Knowlsou and Gordon O'Leary of Lindsay. all passed through the Falls last. Friday on their return from camping out. Mr. Joseph Heard took a hasty de- parture last Saturday for Chicago, in consequence of receiving a telegram stating that. Mrs. Berry, the late Mrs. llcard's mother, was dangerously iii. A. letter received from him yesterday said that the old lady was very low. Mr. J. W. Howry, the head of the firm of Howry 3'. Sons, has been at. the Falls since Monday, and will probably remain for a few days longer. This is only his second visit to the village, tho business being conducted by M r. .l. H. IIowry, who remains here while the mill is running and spends the winter in Michigan. Powles’s Corners. (Correspondence of the Gazette.) Mr. A. E. Miuthoru had the misfor- tune to have one of his horses staked while posturing in a summit. llr. Mason of Fenelon Falls was in attendance. The child that M r. and M rs. Robert. Cooper adopted some live or six months. ago has gone to an early grave. Dr. Wilson was in attendance, but. owing to the child being so young and the trouble so for advanced, the docror could do but little. At present the chokecherry tree has great attractions for the small boy. Mr. F. Dcwcll‘ will have Mr. Thos. Gillis’s barn completed this week, and the capacity will be more than equal for this year’s crop. Miss Maggie waie of Minden spent. a few days with her sister, Miss May Bowie, at Mr. John Willock's.

Clark Sr. was struck, while crossing the railway track near lflllis's mill, by the engine of the train going north. She narrowly escaped being killed, but received no injury except a rather deep scratch on one of her hind legs, and is now nearly as well as ever. 11%“ Call and see Mac's stock of full Over'coatings, the largest and best selected. stock ever sold in Fcnelon Falls. ANOTHER Sscrros LE’l‘.-â€"A despatclt front Ottawa, dated July 27th.says that. the Contract for the Peter-borough and, Jlnkefield' section of the Trent Valley Canal has been let to Messrs. Brown, Lowe & Aylrncr of Toronto, whose: tender was the lowest and was under- 5330.000. Some say that the letting of the contract is evidence that an elec- tion is pending; but, contract or no contract, an election within a few tnouths is inevitable. 3&9“ McCullum, the. only Fashionable- 'l‘uilor in town, has just received his full. stock of cloths, which are beingr sold at prices to suit the times.

Holmes, who was at the Falls five or six yours ago, proves. to be incorrect. They are not. the some man, and the criminal's real name is.

If guilty of all the Cl'ill'ics laid to his charge, he has Committed more murders than any man in modern times, except Dr. Cream of Quebec, who W115 executed in London, England, and who poisoned at. least thirty-live women with strychniue ud- miuistercd in Capsules.
