Horn, as in the States, the apparent object of a great deal of our legislation has been to enrich the few at the ex- pense ofthe many, and the fruits of it are seen in inordinate Wealth on the one hand and nbj-~ct poverty on the other, with the masses finding it, year by year, more difficult to make a living. In New Zealand there are an incipient socialism and an approach to Henry George's “ single tax "system. and the result is that millionaires and mendi cants are equally scarce. and those amongst the people who are not pres- perous cannot attribute their want of success to unwise or unjust legislation. It is deeply to be regretted that the same cannot be said of Canada, where stupidity or cupidity has placed most of the stumbling blocks in the way of individual or national advancement. Suicide Near Kinmount. On Tuesday last a farmer named Henry Oglestei-n, Sr.. who lived about a mile from Kimnount, shot himself while alone in the house, his sons being away from home at the time and his wife in the barn. edge of one hand were blackened with powder, he must have held the muzzle of his rifle close to. his open mouth and by some incans pushed- on~ the trigger The ball went through the‘ back of his head, struck a partition close to the ceil- ing and rebounded to near the other side of the room. Mr; Oglestein was about 70 years old and: in comfbrtable circumstances. but was not in good health, as he suffered- grcatly from» dys- pepsia, and last summer was» hurt by a fall from a barn. of course greatly horrified at what had taken place during her- short absence from the house. An. inquest was con- sidered unnecessary, as it was quite certain that the unfermoate man had deliberately taken his own life, no doubt during a fit of mental aberration. m Personals.- Mrs. MoArthur and her son Clare left for Belleville on. Monday aftera few days' visit to relatives at the Falls. Miss Ella Austin returned home on Tuesday from a visit of ten weeks to relatives in the township of: Thorah, about eight miles from til‘snni’ngton. Mr. John D; Naylor, who has rented his farm close to the Falls to- Mr. Jos- eph Pogue, left on- Tuesday to take up his residence with. his son Isaac near Islay. Mrs. W. E. Robertson of Peterboro and her little daughter have been at the Falls since Thursday of last week. Mr. Robertson accompanied them, but pres sure of business necessitated his return home next day. Mr. Thomas Graham, of Graham & 00., left for a business trip. north on Monday, and returned om Thursday morning, bringing with him. the skin of a fine large wolf that Mr. Richard Davis of Kinmount shot some time in November. Mr. R. M. Butler, of Barrie-rimm- erly a resident of the Falls, was here from Tuesday until Wednesday after- noon, when hc left for Halibutton. His elder brother, Joshua. is doing well in the boot and shoe trade in Hamilton. Mr. A. Clark. Jr.. left on chdnesday for Kinmount, Minden and H'aliburton, and will no doubt bring back with him. as usual, a satisfactory number of orders. m Powles’s Corners. (Correspondence of the Gazette.)

Ger A HOLID.\Y.-â€"â€".~\bout forty mow have been employed at the Government; work at Resmlalo, and on Monday even- all but ab :ut fifteen on the dredge were- told that they could take a holiday until Balsam inkn froze over. as the timeout of slnshâ€" hall' ice and half snow-00!)- tinnzilly coming down into the river rendered any work but dredging almow impossible. The men's period of en- ,fnrced idleness will, therefore. dependi upon the weather; but with such a deâ€" gree of cold as we are now having. a- shcet of ice ought to cover the surface ofthe lake in a very few days. SELLING OFF at cost for the next 30' days at Mrs. R. McDongall’s. A LATE ROBINâ€"Uri Friday last,. November 27th. Mr. J. C. Parrish, ofi' Fenclon. had occasion to visit Mr. John: Cullis in the same township and, on his way from the house to the gate at the roadside he saw a robin picking up as worm that. the recent rains had brought to the surface. Returning to the house, Mr. Parrish told Mr. Cn'lis, who went with him and also saw the bird, so that its identity is esuablished by the evi- dence ol'two reputaqu witnesses. Per4 haps it has made up its mind to remain- all winter, ifit pos>ibly can, and acquire renown by figuring in print as “ the first robin " early next spring.

Wno- Tenn-Tuna ?â€"-Last week one of the Lindsay papers said that the [damp were going to rebuild in Fenc- lon Falls, and another Lindsay paper- said that they were not; a resident of Toronto, who wrote to a friend at the Falls, had heard that Howry's men were all to leave on the following Wod- ncsday, and the writer of a letter from Millbrook had been informed that the large new mill at the Falls was nearly finished. Who told them what they think they know ? Here in the village we can get no definite information as to the intention of the firm; but two or three small eircumstancesâ€"“ straws that show which way the wind blows " â€"â€"strengthen the o inion We have long held that there will be a new mill ou the site of the old one before the open- ing of navigation next spring. ._.__. ._.. ,._ N.
