Son, manufacturers of “Slack Barrel Cooperagc Stock " of Wanstead, Ont-., and received the fol- lowing reply : Wanstead, Ont, Jan. let, 1897. R. M. Mason. Eso., Fenelon Falls, Out. Dear Sir,-â€" Your favor received. Are you situated on the river or only on the canal you speak of? Can logs be float- ed from the Burnt and Gull river to your village 7 Is there timber near your village that can be bought and put at the mill in the winter time. so we would be able to start our mill without .waiting for the river or canal to open in the spring? We would not care to locate at a place where we would be obliged to get our supply of logs etc. by rail, as it is Itoo- expensive. One of our firm will soon visit your section and will call on you.

However, it is expected he will put up a good race, and the fast ones will have to hustle to beat the little side-wheeler from Fenelon Falls. On the same day Mr. Melville Green sent, down his colt to the same place, to start in the green race. This is the colt that got special notice in the Gazette last spring by the sporting editor. He was raised by Mr. Frank Kerr, P. M., and afterwards became the property of Mr. John Beggs, of Vcrulam, who sold him. to Mr. Green early this winter. The latter gentlemen has been jogging him for a few weeks, and the result has been so encouraging that he decided to let him rub up against others of his class.

The annual meetingof the Reforaiers of North and East Victoria was held on Friday last, and, as we have been ex- ceedingly busy this week, we avail our- selves ot' the following substantially correct report that appeared in the Pas! of Saturday evening : The Reformers of North and East Victoria held their annual meeting yesterday (Friday) afternoon in Dick: son's hall, Fenclon Falls, there being very large attendance 0! representatives from the various ridings prcsmit. Mr. James Dickson presided, being sup- ported by Messrs.. R. J. McLaughlin and Wm. Steers, of Lindsay, Dr. Curry, l of Minden, Mr. Jas. Juirkin, Vcrulam, I the Central Association, representing the following districts: Mr. Mosgrnvc, Eldon; Mr. A. Ivory, Carden; Mr. A. McGee, Fenclnn; Mr. J. A. Ellis, Fen- elon Falls; Mr. Moore, Verulam and Bobcaygeon; Mr. J. Austin, Somerville; Mr. C. Cockburn, Galway; Mr. LeRoy, Bexley; Mr. James Campbell, Lnxton. Digby and Longford ; Dr. Curry, Minâ€" den; Mr. G. Stephens, Stanhopc; Mr. G. Campbell, Dalton; Mr. Galloway, liuttorworth, etc. :\ cordial vote of thanks was accorded to the retiring ofliccrs, the late s-cretary, Mr. W. T. Junkin, being highly commended for his services. Several questions were put by various representatives aneut the government works at Rosedale, which were satisfac- torily answered by M r. R. J. McLaugh- lin, of Lindsay, who delivered a speech full of sound practical advice, and“, judging by the applause with which it was received, must have pleased the large audience immensely, as indeed it deserved to do. Prior to concluding the successful gathering the £ollowing resolution was carried by acclamation :- “ That we desire to place on record our grateful thanks to Mr. Laurier and his cab- inet for the way in which they are carrying out the pledges given by them at the re- cent election, and we beg to assure them. of our loyalty, and wish them a long, happy and‘ prosperous reign of office." At the instigation of the genial Mr. McLaughlin, the resolution was carried with “ a tiger and a three times three." A similar resolution expressing confiâ€" dence in the provincial House was also carried, and a most interesting gather- ing concluded. Killed a Horse. We record with much regret the death of William John Finn (eldest son of Mr. John Finn of this village) who was killed by a kick from. a vicious mareâ€"the same one that broke one of Mr. Robert Jackett'e legs when he own- ed her some years ago. Mr. Finn had been hauling slabs for Howry 8'. Sons, and, as the horses he was using Were sent to a shanty out north, and he did not want to be out of employment, be borrowed a teamfromhis uncle, Mr..D. Duggan of V'crulam, and‘ brought them to the firm's stable in the mill yard on Monday forenoon. After dinner he went to harness. them, and, while so engaged, the mare kicked-i him. on the leg, and then, before he could‘ get out - of the way, lashed out with both heels and struck him full. in the abdomen. At first he. thought he was. not- much hurt and went on with the harnessing, but soon began to fccl‘faineand-staggern ed across into the opposite stall. Fear- ing that if he became insensible he might freeze, as it was intensely cold and no one was around, he dragged him- self with much difficulty to the yard gate, and Mr. Bowins, the mail carrier from Coboconk, who just then came along, drove him to his father's home, where Dr. Graham did all that could possibly be done for him, but he grad.- ually got worse and died at 6'30 on Wednesday morning. Deceased, who was 21 years old on the 5th of last April, was an exceedingly fine looking young man, fully six feet tall, well-built and handsome, and with a- disposition and character that made everybody have a good Word for him. The family have the sympathy of the entire community in their irreparable loss. Fire-iniDicksonb-Halh About 11 o’clock on Tuesday morn- ing, while Division Court was being held in Dickson's. hall. Mr. W. T..Junkin, who was approaching it, noticed smoke coming out from between the clapboards near the north-west corner, and at once gave the alarm. The hall is heated by two large box stoves, which are located in closets, one on each side of the en- trance. The walls of the hall form two of the walls of each closet, and the other two are of matched lumber about seven feet high. The closets are» lined with sheets of zinc, one of which got so. hot that the wainscot behind it took fire and the flames ran up the hollow. in the \anll. Fortunately, there was plenty of help at hand and water at no great. dis- ltnnce, and by cutting a hole through the lath and plaster and pouring a few dozen pails of teetotalers’ favorite fluid into the aperture, the incipient confis- gration was nipped in the bud before it a i had time to do much harm, the only l external evidence of the the being the charred edges of three or. four clap~ boards. given there were only two suits to be ‘ disposed of, and, as the legal gentlemen « At the time the alarm was.
