The Fenelon river is so deep at places, as well as narrow, that its division into two channels, one for logs and the other for boats, as often advocated, is almost impossible; but there would be but little“ difficulty about cutting the channel in contemplation, and the expense would - not be very great. as the distance is but little over-'3 mile, there is a natural gully and a slight descent the greater part. of the way, and all that is required is a ditch a few feet wide and deep enough for the water to be notâ€"lessthan about three feetait the shallowest parts. ’At Dorset,- wc are told, the logs have to go through a channel so narrow that it. will not take two large ones side by side, it is not much better at. Bobcay geon, and, therefore, we fancy that a width of a very few feet would be suf- ficient. The fact that the rock comes very near the surface would make con- siderable blasting necessary, but, as an offset to this, the miniature canal, once constructed, would cost nothing for re- pairs, and the benefits that would {lCCl'lli' from the realization of the project would witnesses had been examined, was ad- journed until Monday next. Farmers, Beware. A. Belleviile paper says :.â€"- “ Some sharks are fiShing for suckers among the farmers of this district, and judging by reports they already have a. very nice string. The bait this time is .stoves, and the game is worked some- thing after. this fashion. A couple of agents. of’a Toronto stove firm will go to a farmer and try to sell him a kitchen range for $60. The farmer don’t want it. But the agent has a mighty fine thing; he will take the farmer’s old stove and allow him $12.. for it, and the agents will board..at.-his place for two week. and pay him $10 a week-for them- selves and horse; now that’s $32 off the price of the stove. The farmer thinks he’ll take it. Then the wily agents persuade him to sign a note, for the full price of the range, 860. This is all they. want, and. they never-take the stove or wait to board at $1011 week. OccasiOnally they vary-this puogramme by guilt-:1 to a farmer of good standing and offering to give him a. range in ex- change for his services at $2;acday, these services to consist- in simply driving about the country withthem to the lust . men to deal with. But. the‘ "ct. hi: be so great that, now that It has been J " ‘ mooted, we do not think that. those interested will allow it to fall through. If we are not mistaken, it is generally believed that the lumbermcn are exceed- ing-their legal rights-when they block- ade our river; but section 9 of the rules and regulations governing these waters empowers them to send down 15,000 in one “ bag.” as it is called, or even 20,000, if that be the total numâ€" bet in the drive; and. as a quarter that number wouldâ€"especially with an adâ€" verse windâ€"be amply suflicient to form a jam from bank to bank, it has been always considered advisable to let them come over the slide as quickly as pos- sible, which does not increase the nuis once, but lessens the time of its contin- uancc. . \ . course, but. Just to hold as security for the stove. The note goes in, and after a time he finds that he cannot even collect wages-for the time lievlias wasted, as the agents are no good.” A CostlY‘Spree: _ On Thursday of last weekCharles Riley and Adam thk; two temporary residents of the Falls. left in a bugg which Riley hired at Edwards’s livery driving to the residence of a. farmer in Vernlam. but they went to Bobcaygcon, and in the evening about six o'clock had got as- for back as the Catholic cemetery, where Riley got out and re- â€"-‘ - - ' turned on foot to the Falls, leaving his Fatal Railway Accident. companion to go north to see a friend.

Mr. Edwards is informed that the Bobcay- geon constable saw the horse being' abused and did nothing to put. a stop to it, and thinks that, if such were the. case, the official was guilty of a gross neglect of duty.
