(Correspondence of the Gazelle.) Our school is increasing in attend- ance. When the mods were so bad the attendance was as low as 15 and 20, and now there are 70 on the roll. A year ago last summer, while Mr. Geo. A. Pcwles and family were over from Chicago on a visit, the boys made many young friends during their so- journ, and the other day one of the boys here got a letter from Percy. the eldest boy, that he had won a $100 bicycle in a competition. The wheel was the best that could be got up in Chicago. Now that the political campaign is opened Dr. Montague should be very careful that he don't have a relapse. The farmers have found out that the more frost there is in the ground in the spring the quicker the ground will dry up. W WATCH for the bargains in Mrs. Mcâ€" Dougall’s windows on Saturday.

UPSET.â€"-Ou Saturday last, while Mr. Peter Mofi'at was driving towards Lind- say with a companion whom he had picked up on the read, his horse shied and upset the buggy into the ditch. Both the occupants were thrown out, but escaped uuhurt, and the vehicle was not broken. PRODUCE taken in escliange at Mrs. R. McDougall’s.â€"â€"7 ANNUAL M sumacâ€"At 8 o’clock on the evening of Monday next, the 4th inst., the annual meeting of the mem- bers of the Public Library will be held in the reading room, for the election of officers for the ensuing year and the transaction of other business. A full attendance is requested. DAINTY SPRING HATS in the latest styles and patterns, at Mrs. R. McDougall’s. ACCIDENT.â€"On Tuesday last, while Mr. Allan McKillcn, bootmaker, of this village, was sitting at work on his bench, his right hand came into contact with a half worn out and very sharp knife lying at his side, with the result that his little finger was cut to the bone, and the point of the knife penetrated the next finger to a considerable depth. The injuries, though fortu- nately not serious, were quite painful and bled freely, and next morning Mr. MoKillen said that his arm was sore almost up to his shoulder, though not bad enough to prevent him working. FlSlllNO.‘â€"Tbe cry “suckers are up! ” was heard from the mouths of the vil- lage boys some days ago, and the un- fortunate fish are having a hard time of it, being, as usual, unceremoniously hauled out of their native element by Suggestions. How would it be if the name of Fenelon Falls be changed to Finland Falls, so that perhaps some of our boys could get a job on the canal? it has been suggested that John Slater send an eye-tester over to Kirkfield. be- cause it is reported that a number of the faithful over there are getting cross-eyed trying to follow Sam‘s course on the Rem- edialBill. Has John any “specs” that will enable a man to see twice around a. corner and backwards ? de’t Sam need a set of patent wool- combers to pull the wool over the eyes of the innocent? Will patting lhem on the back and telling them about their ancestors and the noble stock they sprang from be enough to restore to him the support of some of those who now so plainly see the deception which has been practised on them. How much pulling will, Tupper’s legs stand ? Says an Orangcman from Hartley: “ He pulled the legs of the Orangemen for one purpose. He now pulls Tupper’s for another.” Is there a Conservative in North Victoria who is satisfied ? We haven’t been able to find one except he was in the enjoyment or expectation of some patronage. Hurrah for ” honest government and green- pastures ! " So says one of the Tory local leaders. Honest! God save the mark! The “ honest government” will be like Sam’s last summer’s promises, but the green pastures will no doubt be diligently sought for. How long do the people want to be tools? How long do they want to be used like dogs ’I How long do they want to be given pats and thrown husks and bones? The people of North Victoria and Cana- dians generally have too great a birthright to be given for a mess of pottage, and then not even get that. A SIZER. April 29th, 1896. + A Valuable Stallion. The Lindsay Watchman says: Mr. D. McIntyre, the popular hotel keeper at Cambray, has purchased an A 1 roadster stallion in Barney Ellis, 559 G. H. R., which he will keep for service during the coming season. Barney Ellis is a beautiful bay in color, with three white ankles and a stripe on face, and stands full 16 hands 2 inches high, and in conformation is all that could be desired. His pedigree is intensely rich in the blood lines of Hambletonian 10. His sire, Frank Ellis, is a popular pro- ducing son of Happy Medium. sire of the ex~queeu of the trotting turf, Nancy Hanks, 2.04, and ex champion stallion Maxcy Cobb, 2.135;, and some seventy in the 2.30 list. His dam, Jewell, was sired by General Stanton, by Humble- tonian 10. General Stanton heads the list of producing sires in Canada, and has to his credit such great performers as Fides Stanton 2.153;, Dolly C. 2.19%. Lqu Stanton 2.18%; Nellie T. 2.22;}. Nellie Howard 2 20, Queenie Stanton, 2,18, Stanton Maid 2.203;, Polly Stan- ton 2.28:}, I’rairic Belle 2.23;}. Pagis Stanton 2 23:} and 18 others in 2.30 or better. Frank Ellis, the sire of Barney Ellis, is also the sire of Ellis Medium, 2.24, Frank B. 2.29, and other good ones. It will thus be seen that in addition to his size and style Barney Ellis is closely related to many of the most noted horses in America, and should, when crossed with good dams, prove a prolific producer of speed. An inspection by all intending breeders is requested. He will be at Fenelon Falls on Monday nights. m 33' My stock is well chosen and the best to be had in Fenelon Falls. Mrs. R. McDougall. The English Royal Naval Architect says that a “ perfect " modern manofâ€" war should weigh not less than 25 000 tons and cost at least £2,000,000 or $10,000,000.
