(Correspondence 0/ the Gazelle.) The ten meeting on the 19th of Jan- uary in aid of the Methodist parstinage 3 fund was quite up to date. The res-2â€" dent ministers and reverend gentlemen from )limlen and Cameron were present and gave stirring addresses. The pro- :ramme was more of a serious than a comic nature, and those who prepared the entertainment deserve praise for their efforts. The people of this village were very sorry to hear of the death of the young- est child of'M‘r. and )frs. Robert Os- wald. The case seemed very sad, as )1 rs. Oswald has been very sick for some time and is stiJl unable to leave her room. The people of' this locality are de- lighted with tho sleighing that has come, as it gives them a chance to do their drawing, and we hope they will hurry in enough shingle and stave bolts to keep the shingle mill and stave factory running. S. A. NOTES.â€"The visit of Adjutant and Mrs. Andrews, which had been an- uounced for Friday, the 29th inst., has been postponed until further notice.

To-Nmu'r.â€"Do not forget the skat- ing carnival in the rink this (Friday) evening. Afterthe bills had been print- ml and circulated, a slight change was made in the programme. The hockey match will not be, as advertised, be- tween the home teams, but between the junior players from Lindsay and the juniors of Fenclon Falls. DIPtITHERIA.-â€"â€"AS will be seen by the proceedings of the Board of Health, which met in Dr. Wilson’s on Sun- day, there is a case of diphtheria in the village, but the doctor says it is ofa very mild type; and, as the patient was promptly isolated, and the house from which she was removed almost before the disease declared itselfwas disinfect- ed and other precautionary measures were taken, there is no practical danger of it spreading. Snow PLOUGH Wannaâ€"Several villagers have asked us what has become of thc‘snow plough. that was used last winter, for the first time,. to clear the sidewalks, and was greeted with jayful acclaim the moment it made its appear- ance. The machine, which, though of the rudest construction, did effective service, is tho-private property of Con- stable Nevison, was drawn around by his horse and piloted. by. himself, with- out the or reward, out of pure philanâ€"- trophy; but it is not to be expected that ho willl continue to work for nothing, and the council should at once offer him some reasonable remuneration and have the plough in operation again as soon as possible; though perhaps It would be better to provide with one built on»moro scientific principles. w British Subjects Starving. by the Million. India needs our help; the famine is upon» her, and, according to the estimate of the highest authorities, the hch of six millions of people are in dangerâ€"a British. population greater than that of all Chnadn. Both the Imperial and Indian Governments are moving in the work of relief; but this is a case that cannot be lclt to governments alone. It appeals to humanity generally. The people of Britain have taken up the work of relief, and their example is be- ing' followed in other lands. Even the Russians are sending money and food to India. Canadians cannot turn a deaf ear to the cry of their fellow Brit- ishsubjccts in the far East, and the means of sending cfii‘ctual assistance has now been provided. A Relief Fund -â€"the first to be started in Canadaâ€" has been opened by the Montreal Slur tichpaper, and its publisher has headel the subscription list with a donation of ' five hundred dollars. Premier Laurier has written the Star a. letter. in which he expresses hearty approval of the re~ lief movement, and he contributes a handsome chequ: to the fund. A joint memorial, signed by all the Prolcituut clergyman of Montreal, has been reCeiv ed by the Star expressing approval and support of the Relief Fund movement. Every subscription to the Star's Famine Fund, great or small, will b- pnbheally acknowledged. The German B'ogey. The prevalent fear thatGreat Britain was being undersold by Germany, and that her trade was rapidly decaying, feund expression in a pamphlet entitled " Made in Germany," which frightened even Lord Rosebery. But Mr. G:orge W. Medley, in a reply entitled “ The. 'ierman Bogey," seems to have laid that ghost. He has apparently proved by elaborate and conclusive statistics that British trade is not being sup- plante'l by the Germans. and is not in a state of decay. The Germans, he seems to admit, are superior in the scientific application of chemistry to manufactures; this, according to him, appears to be about the sum of the real danger, and there is no good reason why the British manufacturer should not learn in this department, as well as in others, to hold his own. So the sun of British commerce has not yet set, nor. apparently, is it near its setting. It was not to be expected that Great Britain would retain the monopoly of manufactures and shipping which was hers at the close of the Napoleonic wars Rivals have nine started in the race, and they have a certain advantage in not being hampered by routine or en- cumbered with old plant. This was the natural course of things; and pro- tection, to which alarmists point as the only remedy. and to make way for which indeed is their chief object. in sounding the alarm, could have done nothing to prevent it. The wealth of England has immensely increased; it has probably trebled since her adoption of free trade; and of the increase a large proportion has gone to the working classes, which had before been, in the manufacturing districts, on the verge of famine. This is the rock of undeniable fact. on which the waves of protectionist fallacy beat in vain. 0.0 Mark Twain’s Poverty. Few of Mark Twain’s many friends know of the plucky fight he is making with adversity, or how badly he has been used by fortune. In a word, Mark Twain, who a covtple of years ago thought himself a rich man, is tc-day worse than penniless. Since his return from Africa, a few months ago, he has been living in very modest lodgings in London, going nowhere and seeing but one or two friends, working all day and every day at ahistcry of his trip around the world. With the proceeds of this book he hopes to be able to pay off his creditors, and to leave something for his family. His lecture trip around the world, which he undertook with the hope of retrieving his fortunes, did not turn out a financial success for him So, over sixty years of age, in poor health, and in a strange country, Amer- ica’s greatest humorist is, perhaps, working harder than ever before. 0“ Mr. Laurier has cabled, in reply to an invitation from the Liverpool'Cham- her of Commerce, that he would not likely visit England for some time. Archbishop Langcvin seems to labor under the delusion that someone has delegated to him the task of running this country. Reports from every part of the North- west indicate that Saturday night was the coldest in two winters. was from 25 degrees below zero to 40 below. A‘ passenger train on the Pittsburg d: Western Railway ran off Point Creek bridge. near Shippeuville, and dropped 50 fectinto the stream. Three men were killed, and not a passenger escaped without injury of' some sort. DIED.
