Lamentable Drowning Accident. The Lindsay Evening Post of Mon- day last gives the following account of the drowning of Mr. R. D. Thexton, the news of which was-heard with regret by the many residents of this village who were acquainted with him :â€" “ About 5.30 o’clock on Saturday evening last our citizens were most in- cxpressibly shocked by the news that , Mr. R. D. Thexton, coal and wood -merchant of this town, had met his death by drowning a few minutes pre- viously, near the brewery wharf. People flocked to the scene from all directions to verify the rumor, only to find doctors and others at work trying to restore animation, but without success. Mr. ’l‘hextou left his shop about four o’clock with Mr. Bert Smth to measure a scow- load of hardwood lying near his wood- yard, and after doing so he decided to prom the stem of the scow closer to the bank in order to leave a clear passage for the Crundella, due to arrive from the Point within a short time. With this object in view he went to the fore part of the scow with a pike-pole, while Smyth remained at the bow. Very soon the latter (who is somewhat deaf) thought he heard Mr. ’I‘hexton calling ‘ him, and hastening to the spot saw Mr. 'l'hextou floundering in the water. Smyth at once caught hold of a rope and essayed to throw the end within reach, but it was too short, and the struggling man told him to run and get a skiff that was moored to the Wharf :1 short diswnce away. Smyth ran for the boat at the top of his speed, and while returning with it heard Mr. Thexton’s call to “ hurry up, for God’s sake,” but when he reached the spot. the poor fellow had disappeared. By this time several men from Dovey’s mill and elsewhere had arrived, and the body was recovered a few minutes later by diving. Just as it was being taken from the water the C'rundellu came along, and to the in- finite regret of all Mrs. Thextou, who had spent the day at the Point with her children, learned that it was her hus- band who had been drowned, and her grief was pitiful to witness. Drs White and McAlpine were speedily on the spot, and as the body had been in the water only about six. minutes hopes were at first entertained that their efforts at resuscitation would be successful, but the slight fluttering of the heart at first noticeable died away, and at the end of an hour and a half’s hard work all hope was abandoned and the body was con- veyed home. Numbers of people had remarked that all day long the deceased had been in exuberant spirits over bright business prospects, and joked and langhcd with everyone whom he met. The sympathy of the entire oom- muuity will flow out towards the be- reaved wife, family and relatives. By of laudanum on the 7th inst. stating it was for “ horse medicine." The coroner in his address drew attention to the fact that the deceased had bought the land- anum himselfnnd had been in the habit of taking it for some time, and the jury, after being out for about half an hour, returned with the verdict “ that de- ceased came to his death by an over dose of luudunum on Sunday, the 11th day of August, but how and when administered there is no evidence to show.” Mr. Harvey was a tall, fine looking than in the prime of life. and his kindly nature and genial, jovial disposition made him exceedingly pop- ular. He was well known in this vicinity, and his untimely end under such melancholy circumstances will be deeply regretted by a large circle of friends and acquaintances. Village Uouncil Prpceedings.

We want to ggt Powles’s Corners. (Correspondence of the Gazette.) Mr. James Wagar has laid a new hardwood floorin the school house. The lumber is maple, and was purchased from Mr. J. Maundcr of Lindsay. Mr. John Willock has a very nice patch of crimson clover. It is rather a. curiosity, but is highly recommended for pasture. John is generally in ad. vance in procuring new seeds. ” Never venture never win " should be the motto of agriculturists. There have been several visitors in our neighborhood for the past few weeks, and amongst them we notice bliss E. Varcoc of Chicago.

PREPARING TO Rmovs.â€"â€"Mr. H. J. Lytle is getting ready to move into the store formerly occupied by Mr. W. '1‘. Junkin, whose stock of drugs etc. he purchased some time ago. The new premisesâ€"in which Mr. John T. Thomp- sou Jr. is now busy making alterations and putting up fixturesâ€"are wider and deeper than those in which M r.

The busy little creatures are of course governed entirely by their feelings, and will do unseasonablc acts in unseasona- blc weather. 3%” cm and see Mac’s stock of an; Over-coatings, the largest. and best selected stock ever sold in Fcnelon Falls. PLEASE Timurâ€"We have a number- of subscribers living at long distances from. here who are all more or loss in arrears lor the Gazette, and if they »will remit what they owe as soon as they read this, we shall take it as a great favor. A dollar is a small amount, and if due by or to a person is apt to be overlooked, which is probably why papers are not paid for more promptly and regularly than they are. The sub- scribers are all, we verily believe, “ as good as the wheat,” but they owe us. from two to five dollars. each, and if they remit before the end‘ of the present: _ month we shall have quite a nice little pile of dollars by the time partridge shooting commences. TIIE PULP MILLâ€"On Monday last: the pulp mill, which has been closed. ' several weeks fer repairs, re-commencod operations, but the machinery required so much cleaning and oiling, in conse- quence of the- length of" time it had. remained idle, that the first; batch of pulp was not turned out until Wednes~ day. A rumor to the effect that the pulp mill had closed, or was about to close, permanently- has once or twice: been current in the village, but how it; originated is unknown; and the fact: that. Mr. l’ngsley, the new proprietor of the mill, has spent some thousands of dollars in additions and improvements is pretty good evidence that there is no truth whatever in the report. 11%” The same price to every one at tho- lendiug Tailor‘s, one door below the barber shop, Fcnelon Fallsâ€"24. Tun Loos Adamâ€"On Tuesday last there was a Salvation Army excursion from Pcterborough and Lindsay to Fcnelon Falls, but instead of the Col- umbirln steaming majestically up the river to the looks, a drive of logs ob- structed the passage and forced her to land the excursionists at Greene d: Ellis’s wharf, which is so far from the town that. some of them hired a liVery rig to take them back to the boat. In theory and in law a canoeist has as much right to the river as a lumbertnnn, hut in practice not only ph-asuro lmnle, but steamers that are plyim.r for hirv. have to give way to every drive of logs the proud and haughty owner of which think~ lit to monopolize the stream from bank to bank.
