WM. CAMPBELL. The Fetielcn Failâ€"ls Gazette.” Friday, October 9th, 1896. 4â€"â€" .-. ___ Burning Food. A report from Minneapolis says : " Corn will be burned for fuel this winter in many sections of Minnesota and South Dakota. Coal is $2 per ton dearer than last year. and with corn at. eleven cents a bushel it is much more valuable as fuel than as food. It makes an excellent tire, and an ear of corn makes more heat than its bulk in wood. , In North Dakota coal is so high priced that the mining of lignitc has been greatly stimulated. This cool is abun- dant and easily mined. It is rich in carbon, but has a great amount of ash and moisture. For fuel it is worth two- thirds its bulk in anthracite and costs half as much.” It always appears to us that nutritious and wholesome articles of diet should he used for food, and for food only, ex- Ct‘Pt in cases of the absolute necessity that justifies almost anything. It looks wrong to burn so excellent 3 food as corn, but. the responsibility rests upon the combinesters who have unnecesa'rily raised the price of cool. and it is hard that there is no way of escape from their extortion. There is talk just now of a law to prevent strikes amongst rail- way employees, on account of the loss that they entail up:.. the community, but such a law is no more necessary than a law to prevent combines for the purpose of extortion, which entail un- told sufl'ering upon the poor. Pleasing T’irdbadailiâ€"tiea? The question as to whether the red mill is to be replaced by a new one will shortly be settled, and the opinion we formed very soon after the fire, and have since adhered to, that it will be settled in the affirmative, now appears to be general throughout the village. The reasons that induced the Howrys to come here are just as strong in favor we SEE if we can’t put. a. suit on you cheaper 3 than anyone else. EVERYBODY SAYS we have the best Hats. Clark & Son. of their remaining, and it has always seemed improbable that they would abandon the Fal.ls,.af'tcr all the costly improvements they have made here, be- cause of the destruction of the mill, which would have been shut down when winter set in, and can be rebuilt in a more convenient and satisfactory shape before the opening of navigation. In addition to the pleasing probabil- ity of the saw-mill being rebuilt, there is another in the likelihood of the pulp mill resuming operations, or of being utilized for another purpose. The pulp trade. though still far from in asatis- factory condition, is steadily reviving, and although pulp can be made of spruce and poplar, which are largely used, basswoodâ€"of which there is an immense quantity in this vicinityâ€"is absolutely rtl‘cessat‘y in the manufacture - of good grades of'paper;- and, therefore, it is not likely that the mill would be idle much longer, even if it; were not suitable for any other purpose.

Able. The Toronto Telegram. says : “ Sir Oliver Mon-at is showing no signs of impaired ability or tact. He is an old man, but his work indicates , that he is an able man. His supremacy r at Toronto might be explained by the fact that everything was in his favor. But. his work in the senate, when every 'thing is against him, provesthatin spite of age and new surroundings he is a powerful man in any department of the great political game. It is seldom that the senate listens to as gnod a speech as that made by Senator Kirchoffer. It may not have been a good speech abso- lutely, but it was good compared to the average speech in the senate. The reply of Sir Oliver Mowat to Senator Kirch- hoffer seems to have been a really able effort. It was admirable in temper, keen in its thrusts at the inconsistency of an assailant. and altogether indicated that it was unnecessary to look beyond Sir Oliver Mowat‘s own ability for the explanation of his unique success in Canadian politics." The Trent Talley Canal. 'l'he l’eterborough Review of Friday “ Mayor Yelland and Councillor Hughes went to 'Ottawa on Thursday and joined a deputation from Trenton, and, along with Mr. Jas. Kendry, M. P., will 'wait upon the Goreromcnt and urge the importance of proceeding with the construction of the Trent Valley canal from l’unborough to the Bay of They will also urge the Hon. d were found open by the person W A. G. Blair. Minister of Railways and day for tho first time since the of; on‘ Canals, to personally inspect the canal the 911; of September, and gain an idea of the great value of the work. The Mayor received a letter from Trenton requesting a deputation to go to Ottawa and meet. the frenton delegates, and the Mayor acquiesced. It will be noticed in the Ottawa des- patches published that a short discus- sion took place in the House of Com- mons on Wednesday in regard to the TrentValley canal, and the member for West Peterborough was among those who strongly urged the Government to continue the work and secure the coin- letiou of the canal at as early a date as possible." Midnight Marauders. In our last week's issue we noticed that several petty thefts had been com- mitted in the village and its vicinity, but we did not then know that Daveyd’. Son's store had been entered during the night of the 30th all. by pressing on the two half doors until the bolt of the loek was sprung out of the hasp. The who was first at the store next morning, and although it is» not known that any- thing was stolen, it is not at'all likely that the nocturnal visitors went away empty-handed, and 21 miscellaneous assortment of articles that might; never be missed could“ easily be taken out of the stock of a general store. On last Monday night a villager who was out very late saw two persons working at the lock of Graham & Co's door, but upon his approaching and asking wh-tt street, and he did not recognize them. Betw'een two and three o'clock on Tues day morning Mr. Findley McDougall was told by his wife that she thought there was somebody at the clothes-line, whereupon he jumped‘ out. of bed. slipped on his trousers, and went bare- footed' into the garden, where, sure enough, he saw a man and immediately gave'chasc. There being light enough for Mr. McD‘ougaLl to see that the clothes-line was nearly empty, he‘ was under the impression that the fugitive was encumbered with a load of dry goods, and, as he pursued him until he disappeared over the- hill at the rear of the Methodist church, he kept yelling out. “Drop those clothes, you scoun- drel”; whereas, in point of fact, the “ scoundrel ” had no clothes but his own, of which be bad!‘ neither time nor inclination to divest himself. How many small deprcdations have been committed during the past two or three weeks we do not know, but the number - must be quite considerable. The prem- ises of Mr. William Ellery, in Feuulon. were twice visitch and. trifling thefts committed, and at. Mr. John Duggan’s, in Verulam, sixteen bottles of home- made wine, a number of jars of pre- serves, a- can of milk and three loaves of bread ware taken. Reeve Ellis informs us that last Sunday night someone-was prowling around. his house, but went away when one of the inmates ap- proached the door with a light; and Mr. Wm. McClennen says that several nights ago his hens suddenly commenced to make agreat noise, and. that when he went to the dioor’he- saw a man run from his stable and jump over the fence. The different. raids are supposed to have been committed by a person. or persons "out of" work and hard“ up for the means of living, and, as there is no telling whose premises will be visited next, nearly everybody who- owns- it gun or .revolver keeps it ready for: instant use at night, and we expect to hear, sooner or later, of somebody being hurt if these nocturnal visitations be continued. m Accidents. Last Sunday night, while Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Horn of Fenelon were dri- ving home fromthe F-‘alls in- a one-horse buggy, the cover of which was down, they were overtaken near Curry’s creek by a heavy vehicle of some sort, the driver of which turned out so carelessly that a collision occurred. The buggy was caught by the top, or: cover, and turned completely upside down, the shock throwing the- occupants out, one- on each side of the horse, which broke loose and ran away, but was found, a font rods further on, by Mr. More, who had followed, and. who-led. it- home. A neighbor who came along took Mrs. Hore up and drove her to her house, and, as she appeared to be badly hurt, a messenger was sent to the Falls for Dr. Graham, who arrived about mid- night, and found, upon exatnining his atient, that one of her left ribs was partially fractured, an injury from which it generally takes but a short time to recover. The doctor could not tell us, and possibly Mr. Here does not know. whose carelessness it. was that caused the accident. On Tuesday afternoon a young man named Edward Stoddnrt, from Saginaw, Michigan, met. with a serious accident in Howry 8: Sons' box factory, the ma- chinery in which was set going on Mon- l l l He was on- deavoriug to shift a belt on to or off of aspullev. and by some means the stick, somewhat. resembling a short picket, that he was using for the purpose got caught in the belt or 'the spokes of the- wheel and broken, and a piece of it struck him so violently that the third rib on the right. side was detached from the breast-bone. He was taken soon after the accident to Mrs. Sanderson's, where he boards, and where he now lies under the care of Dr. Wilson, who says that the injury is quite a serious one, and that, had; the blow been on the left side of the breast, it would probably have been immediately fatal. We see by the Lindsay Post that Mr. Jacques, now of that town, but. for many years a' resident of Fenelon Falls, fell the other day from a waggon load of lumber, and that one of the wheels passed over his head, breaking his lower jaw and cuttinghistongue; but,strange' to say, not inflicting fatal injuries.

Powles’s Corners. (Correspondence of the Gazclte.) A good many farmers in this vicinity are buying lumber from J. W. Howry. 8:; Sims at. $5. per load. The quality and quantity are giving very good satis- faction. No doubt a goat many more would invest in lumber, only 85 bills. are rather scarce. Mr. W. H. Powles is having a very neat verandah built in front of 'his house. Mr. James Wager is doing the carpenter work. Farmers are busy ploughing and dig- ging potatoes. One trip with a Waggon to the potato patch is all that is neces- sary. Mr. and Mrs. Truman of Kirkfit-lul paid a short. visit to relatives on Tues- dny last. Miss M. J.
