Burnt River, Dec. 16th, 1895. Council met pursuant to adjournment. All the members present, the rceve in the chair. Minutes of last meeting read and confirmed. ’ Moved by Mr. Morrison. seconded by Mr. Stewart, That the following an: The nomination of candidates for reeve, councillors and school trustees will take place on Monday next, and the elections on the Monday following; but, though the contest is so near, very little interest appears to be taken in it, and we have heard neither any strong ex- pressions of opinion for or against the present occupants of office, nor anything reliable in the way of predictions as to who will be likely to oppose them should they run again. It was rumored not long ago that Mr. McFarland and Mr. Fitzgerald both aspired to the reeve- ship, but the first named gentleman has assured us that such is not the case as far as he is concerned, and Mr. Fitz- gerald has, we are told, given the same assurance to others. Then a rutepayer remarked in our hearing that it looked as if it would be a ” walk over " for Mr. Dickson, but he was promptly informed by another ratepayer that it would be nothing of the kind, as there would certainly be a contest for the reeveship, but he declined to give the name of the person he thought would oppose Mr. Dickson. From what little we can learn, it is probable that all the mem~ bers of the present council will run again; but it will be a departure frozn the general rule if there be not twice as many candidates as can be elected. We do not know that any particular benefit is to be hoped for from any change that is likely to be made, for any five honest business men of' fair abilities are, or ought to be, able to manage the affairs of a municipality such as this, especially with a thoroughly competent man like Mr. Dickson, in the recve’s chair. The village rate of taxation is this year very high, but it is not the fault of the pres out council, and if, for a year or two, no luxuries be indulged in and lawsuits be avoided, the visit of the collector will not be as much dreaded as it is at. pres- ent.

The result on Tuesday was what the Yankees would call “ a slap in the chops ” to the Coer- cive Government, and Mr. McCarthy was naturally greatly elated. Inter- viewed by a Globe reporter at night he said :â€" “I need hardly say that I can scarce- ly exaggerate my sense of the import- ance of the victory that has been achieved against the most unfair odds in defence of' the Manitoba Public School law. When it is remembered that my candidate had to fight against five Ministers of the Crown, who among them addressed sixteen meetings, from seven to ten members of Parlia- ment, and other platform speakers of more or less note, and an organization which was simply perfect, supported by means practically unlimited and bol- stered up by corruption that was an outrage upon a free election, the major- ity in favor of Mr. Stuhbs can only be fittingly characterized as magnificent. In a fair field the vote in this strongly Conservative constituency would cer- tainly have been two to one against interfering with Manitoba.” W. L. ROBSON.

I McArthur’s Block, Serious Accident. About half past 9 o’clock on Christ- mas Eve Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Magee, who a few weeks ago moved into their new house in the Grove, heard a strange noise as of' some person‘ meaning or groaning outside the back door, and Mr. Magee, upon going to ascertain the cause, was surprised and somewhat startled to see a man of venerable ap- pearance, covered with mud, crawling up the steps to the kitchen on his hand»- and knees. It was Mr. James Simpson, one of the caretakers of the swing bridge who, being a bachelor, lives alone in a small house near the north end of the bridge. He had been to the business part of the village, and was on his way home when, in walking up the lane between the residences of Mr. Burgoyne and Mr. Joseph Walsh, Jr , he by some means fell and broke both bones of his left leg so close to the ankle that there is some danger of‘ the joint being permanently stiff. As he was unable to rise, and was suffering a great deal of pain, he crawled as well as he was able through the mud and slush to Mr. Magee's, which was straight in front of him and abouta hundred yards distant. Having been carefully helped into the house, Mrs. Magee did her best to make him comfortable, while her husband went for medical assistance,‘ and in a short time both doctors were in attendance, and, without administer- ing chloroform, set the broken bones, an operation which the patient bore with great fortitude. Mr. Simpson is still‘at Mr Mogce’s, where he is progressing favorably. his broken leg giving him very little pain. He is a younger brother of that widely-known lover of horses, Mr, John Simpson of Lindsay. Fenelon Falls. mans}; right. We give on our first page this week three or four extracts relative to the Venezuelan difficulty, which for some time past. has almost monopolizcd public attention. That it will end in war is not at all likely, as the leading men in the United States are not. quite crazy, if the maSses are, and, as Mr. Geo. W. Smalley points out, almost every country in Europe derides President Cleveland's claim to a dictatorship over the whole of this hemisphere. Even if the Amer- icans were as anxious for a fight as they pretend to be, they are not ready for it, as their navy is but little more than a name, while England’s is by far the most powerful in the world. General Miles, the commander of the American army, says that it would take two years’ time and cost millions upon millions of' dollars to make even the most absolutely necessary preparations for war. No doubt they could overrun the frontiers of Canada and remain in possession of it for a time, but it will be well for them to reflect upon what would happen to their seaboard cities, in which, as Gun Miles reminds them, “ the wealth I I of three'hundrcd years is stored," and _ the New York Post says that the States I would need a standing army of 500,000 WWW Mr. Henry Junkin of Marmara spent Chrismas Day at the Falls, and is here et. y Miss Susan McDiarmid, who is teach- ing school at Ncwhurg, Cnt., is home for-the Christmas holidays. Mr. John T. Thompson, Jr., left on Tuesday afternoon to spend Christmas with his relatives at Rottie’s Station. Mr. John I. Clark, who went to Cleveland, Ohio., about two months ago, returned home to the Falls on Christ» mas Eve. Mr. Joseph Heard left on Christmas morning, accompanied by his little daughter Nellie, for a few day's visit to his brother William at Bowmanville. Mrs. John Mann, of Orillia, her little son and her sister. Miss Fanny McDiur- mid, who has been visiting her, came to the Falls last week and will remain for a few days. Miss Agnes Dickson returned from the Collegiate Institute at. Lindsay, and Miss Kate Austin from the Model School, to spend Christmas at their homes at the Falls. Miss Louisa Thompson, who has been living at Port Hope for about two years, returned on Saturday last to spend a month’s holiday with her relatives at Fenelon Falls and in its vicinity. p In the Fashion, In the World.
