But amongst the malcontcnts are Protestants as well as Catholics, and not long ago a re- ligious maniac was in favor of separate schoolsâ€"not. only for Catholics, butâ€" for any denomination that chose to demand them, on the ground that secu~ lur education was of no importance at all compared to religious education. If we and the great majority of persons (including many of the clergy) had our way, they should be kept entirely apart. but there are enough who think otherwise to make it t:.cessat'y to defer to some extent to their prejudices; and the concessions that have been made in the terms agreed upon are all that they are ever likely to get. Neither party to the arbitration hoped or expected to satisfy the Catholic hierarchy, who from the first demanded the restoration of separate schools as they were; but the Quebec vote on the 23rd of June ought to have convinced them that their power over their flocks was not- as great. as they thought. it was, and that it would be poor policy to kick against a fair and reasonable settlement. of the school question. No agreement that could possibly have been made Would have pleased everybody, but the object of the two Governments was to satisfy the reasonable many rather than the unreasonable few, and th-y are to be congratulated upon the large measure of success that has crowned their efforts. The Railway Bridge. On Monday last Mr. Charles W. Parker. assistant signal'enginecr of the Grand Trunk Railway Company, or- rived at the Falls with Mr. Arthur Allan and four assistants, for the pur- pose of minimizing the risk of accidents at the railway bridge by providing it with what is called the “ Interlocking Switch and Signal System.” Mr. Par- kn' left next morning, and preparations for commencing the work were {mine diatcly begun under the instruction and superintendcucc of Mr. Allan. The system, which is no LlOlibb easy enough to understand when seen in operation, but which we are not able to minutely describe, involves the putting in of' a number of rods. levers and signals, and a “ locking frame ” which was imported from London, England, where it is manufactured by Messrs. Saxby 8.7. Far- mer, the inventors and patentees. The obj ect of the interlocking system is, as we have said, to prevent accidents, which it does by rendering it impos- sible for the caretaker of the bridge to open or close the swing without making the necessary changes in the signals, which, before the system was intro- dutmd, was occasionally done with the most disastrous results. The caretaker may neglect the whole of his duty in connection with the swing (and get bounced), but he cannot neglect a part of it, and an accident cannot happen to a train on the bridge unless it break it down or run off the track and go through the railing. Mr. Allan tells us that the work will probably be done, if the weather be not too unfavorable, in about a fortnight, and that it will have to be inspected and approved by Mr. 1’. F. Hodgson, the chief signal en- ginecr. The Rosedale Works. A short descriptiOn of the ROSedule works will be of some interest to our readers, partly from the fact of their being the first work to be carried on in this district by the new Government, notwithstanding many prophecies to the contrary by mariy local Conservatives before the election; and also from the fact that between thirty and forty of our laboring men are at present employed thereon. r The work consists of drilling, blasting and dredging a channel ninety feet wide from a short distance above the locks toa point over half'a mile above the bridge, and was commenced about a year ago and has been continued ever since, with the exception of an intermission of about two months and a half. The foreman is Mr. Wm. Ken- nedy of Bobceygcon, and the gentleman formerly occupied as a hotel. ing is ably done by M r.

The council then adjourned. m Personals. Mr. Joe Walsh left on Wednesday for Huntsville, where two of his uncles reside. Miss Golden came home last Satur- day from a visit of seven weeks to her sister, Mrs. Charles E. Graham, at To- main. Mr. Thos. G. Edwards, who left last March for Midland, came home on Wednesday, and will probably remain all winter. Mr. G. Herbert Dartnell, of the To- ronto Financial Corporation, left yester- day for a flying visit to his home at Whitby, and will be back to-day. Mrs. McArthur and Clare came from Bellevillc to the Falls on Wednesday. to spend Thanksgiving day with their relatives. and will stay until Monday. Mr. George McHugh, M. I’.,und Mr. E. D. McEachern, county valuators, came to the Falls yesterday and left this afternoon. They will be here again before long.

Mr. Nathan Day has a gang of men employed cutting saw-logs. shingle bolts, cordwood etc. Most of the timber is l 'itw down caused b the fire last sum- ‘ .l r: .Y mer. Mr. Day will likely draw. the cordwood to the lakeshore and the bal‘ nccc to Feuelon Falls. We thought, by the improvements that have been made in a certain house in this locality, that someone was going to get married, but we were disappoint- ed. We have learned that a Mr. Ark. l ‘daughter-in-luw, Mrs. Frederick Ash, I under whose instructions it was built, ' . .

Tho next thing to do is to save up moot-y enough to buy a bell that can be easily heard for a considerable distance be- yond the bounds of the corporation. VERY CREDITABLE.â€"â€"'l.‘llc Lindsay ll’ult'hmun's Cameron correSPOndet-t says: “ The Cameron cheese factory has now closed for this season after u- tnost succcssful run. We understand there has not been a single cull this season. This is certainly very credit- able. The directors cannot do better than engage Mr. Torrance again, as he has proved himself a very painstaking nhecscmaker.” Mr. Torrance is our neighbor Mr. Andrew Torranec’s eldest; son, Thomas, and we are pleased to see hitn get. a word of no doubt well- deserved commendation. A Goon CONCERT.â€"Thc Belle Itosc Emslie Concert given in Dickson’s hall last Friday evening. under the auspices of the liadics' Aid Society of the Meth- odist church, was exceedingly well at- tended and was a success financially and otherwise. Mrs. ldmslic has a line voice and excellent dramatic powers; Miss Kelly is a sweet, though not power- ful, situcr and a first rate pianist and gditarist; and Mr. Charles Kelly, who has more than once appeared before Fenclon Falls audiences, in a host in himself. The numerous cncorcs were promptly responded to, which almost doubled the length of the programme. A warm reception awaits the company if ever they re visit the Falls.
