Friday, Feb. 14th, 1896. The Patrons of Industry. The Patrons of the county hold their annual meeting in Lindsay on Saturday last, and all the old otficers of the asso- ciation were re-elected for the current year. After other business had been transacted, Messrs. Alex. McLeod and Geo Johnston,the Patron candidates for North and South Victoria, tendered their resignations, which were accepted. and a committee was appointed to wait upon the other candidates, ascertain their stand re the Patron platform and report to the association at an early date. It appears to us that the time spent by the members of the committee it carrying out their instructions will be thrown away, as the similarity of the Patron platlorm to that of the Lib- erals and its dissimilarity to that of the Conservatives is already well known, but possibly they wish to put it out of the power of either candidate to say after the election that his views were misun- derstood. The existence of the Patron organization is evidence that the yeo- men of the Dominion recognize the necessity of reforms, but they are taking a circuitous route to a destination to which there was a shorter cut. The similarity between the Liberal and Pat- ron platforms is so great that it makes very little difference as far as results are concerned whether the nominee of one or the other represents a constitu- ency in Parliament; but it is rather unreasonable to expectâ€"as some of the Patrons appear toâ€"that a grcnt'histor- ical party that has fought the battle of reform for many weary years shall give place, when victory is in sight, to one of mushroom growth. We infer from the resignation of Messrs. McLeod and Johnston and the appointment of the committee mentioned, that it is not the intention of the Patrons to put a candi- date in the field in either of the Vic- torias, and, if so, they have certainly arrived at a very wise conclusion, un- less they wish to help to sustain the present Government and thus perpetu- ate the abuses for the abolition of which they profess to have organized. m Accident. About 5 p. m. on Wednesday Mr. Paul Sova's eldest son. Joseph, aged about 15, and Mr. John Aldous’s son William, about the same nee. came to- gether on horseback near the south end of the iron bridge, and agreed to race their nngs as far as the railway crossing. Something over it hundred yards from where they started there stands, on the right hand side of the street, Brooks's hotel. at which Mr. Aldous’s horse is in the habit of stopping. and opposite to it. on the other side of the street, is the house occupied by Mr. [’qu Ouclcltc. : brother-in law and partner of Mr. Sovn, where, of course, the horses owned by the firm are frequently driven into the yard. When this point “'35 reached the racers «going at n gallop with slack linesâ€"suddenly parted company and swerved, one to the right and the other to the left, and both the boys were thrown off. but with lardiflerent results. Will Aldous nlighlcd on his feet in a snowdrift and escaped Unllnrt, but Joe Rom was dashed against a fence. and as it was feaer that he had received serious if not fatal injuries, both doc. tors and the priest; were sent for, and Dr. Wilson, who was informed that at least one of the boy's legs was broken, took with hi-n tle splints, bandages and appliances used on such occasions; but, happily, it turned out that Master Joe had received no worse. injury than tem- porary deprivation of breath and a few bruises, and, each being the case, no- body except his relatives is sorry tor ccpticn, the most reckless rider and driver in the village, and it is hoped in the past. ‘ m Carnival. The second carnival of the season was held in the Fenelon Falls rink on Fri- day evening last and was fairly wrll attended. The two mile race was won by Joe Boyce, with Pete Beteau second ; Charlie Corbett won the barrel race, Geo. Calder coming in second. The following is a partial list of those in costume :â€" Mrs. W.

(Correspondence of the Gazette ) Some time having elap<ed since I last wrote you a few items for your paper, I thought that I would try and send you a little news for publication. trusting I do not intrude on your valuable space. The Annual Orange Tea will be held in the Orange Hall, in this village, sometime in the forepart of next month, and the usual good time is expected and will no doubt be fully anticipated. We notice that a large number of our people take advantage of the cheap rate to Fenclon Falls on Saturday to puchase goods that they require. The farmers in this vicinity are tak- ing advantage of the excellent sleigh- ing and the wood yard here is being very rapidly filled up with a good sample of body wood. Posts, railway ties, square timber, poles, etc. are also being brought in large quantities. Rev. Mr. Knight, of Goodcrham Mis- sion, occupied the pulpit of the church here last Sunday week. His discourse was eloquent and touching and we trust much good may be the outcome. Mr. W. Hodgson has been spending a few days visiting his parents the past week. A large number of the young people attended the party given at Euglish's on Thursday evening of last week. and report an enjoyable time. , We believe there are more to follow shortly. Mr. John Hodgson was busily engag- ed cntting chim timber last week, but owing to the stormy weather he has shut down for a time. We seem destined to receive plenty of snow around here this winter and the sleighing is excellent at present and it is still snowing. The snow is Very deep in the woods and swamps and it much impedes the progress of wood cutting. We are much pleased to be able to Brisbin, daughter of Mr. J. Brisbin, of this villageI is recovering from her ill- ness and trust she will be all right in a few weeks. Her case was a very critic- al one, but she has taken a turn for the better. A Grand Basket Social was held in the Methodist Church here on Wednes- day evening of last week and was a do. ; nitlcd success in every way. There were a large number present and there were many baskets for sale, and as a matter of course there was no lack of l bi-ldcrs. 'l‘he baskets ranged in prices I from 30 Cents to $1.75 and were of all g kinds and sizes, the most attractive of lthcm being the one brought by Miss l , . . l hlom Tunney. It was In the form ofa l house of Gothic structure and sur- | rounded by a lawn and a hedge of ever- greens. We might specify a large number worthy of mention, but space ‘ will not permit. The entertainment consisted of singing by the choir. SJIOS. ‘ rccitutions and speeches. The cash amounted to 850. Powles’s Corners. (Correspondence of the Gazelle.) Mr. Samuel Magoo had the misfor- tune to lose one of his horses last wuck. We understand the animal‘s death is due to a tapeworm, which developed into large proportions. Although horses are cheap, 3 good horse on the farm is worth as much now as ever it was. his accident, as be is, without an exâ€" snow. No one can complain for the want of The roads in this part are get- ting bad. and will soon be impassable. Mrs. F. Willock, from the.

Willock left this part and went to Manitoba. We wish ~Mrs. \Villock a very enjoyable time and a safe return. The storm of last. Tuesday has left the roads impassable. but the next best thing to do is to l-lkc to the fields. Miss Jennie McKee of Coboconk spent a few days with relatives last week in this locality. Will the Orange and Catholic Cou- servatives vote for remedial legislation, and on the 12th of July be bitter enc- mies to one another ? "m..- BAPTIST Cannon â€"â€"Thc Rev. A. P. McDiarmid, M.

The ice harvest on Cameron. lake commenced some time ago, and, several teams are busy every day draw- ing huge blocks to those who wish to lay in a supply for use next summer. The ice is of good quality and varies in thickness in different parts of the lake, the average being somewhat over that of last winter. SNOWâ€"A. great deal of snow fell in this section of the previncc on Monday and Tuesday last. and, as there was a high wind blowing during part of the time, some of the roads were more or less blockaded. The train from the north was a. little late on Wednesday morning, although a snow-plough had made several trips between Lindsay and Haliburton while the storm was raging. Tun FENELON Caossmo.â€" At a meeting of the railway committee at Ottawa, on Saturday last. Mr. Bell, solicitor for the G. T. R 00., promised that Mr. Hobson, the chief engineer, should look into the complaints relative to the crossing north of Lindsay, com~ monly called the Fenclon crossinz, at which the fatal accident occurred a few months ago. Anornnlt Busrusss Ounceâ€"’l‘his week we have another business change to record. Mr. James L. Arnold having bought out Mr. W. J. Ellison, who intends to leave the Falls as early as possible next month. Mr. Arnold's stock will Consist of groceries and boots and shoes, and it is almost. unnecessary to say that those who favor him with their patronage will receive courteous treatment and get good value for their money. HOCKEY Marenâ€"The Funclon Falls State that Ml's- JOll" Wilson, 093 Km juniors played their first hockey match on Saturday afternoon, and succeeded in defeating the Lindsay juniors by four goals to one. The game was very exciting, but the Fenelon lads fhad the best ofit in the secrmd half. For Fen- clon, Bctenu and C. Deymnn wurc the "stars," while for Lindsay, Taylor on the fanard line and Lennon in goal put up a good game. A return match will he played on Salurlay afternoon, Feb. 15th, on the Lindsay rink, n'eathcr permitting. A Passion: GllOST.â€"The presence of a lady ghost in the village is report- ed, and doesn’t surprise us in the least, as Mr. \V. 'l‘. Stcud’s Christmas book, entitled “ Real Ghost Stories," which we happen to be reading just now. pro- pares us to believe anything in the supernaturul line. A real live ghost, or even a haunted hnu~e such as they had in Bobcaygcon about a quit-tor of a century ago, is a regular bonanza to 'l village pnpsr. We have not yet been able to interview the prominent Sal-Ja- liuniet upon whose knee the ghost ia mid to have set, but we shall do so as soon as possible.
