Proposed Hospital at Lindsay. A movement which has our warmest approval is on foot to commemorate the jubilee year of Queen Victoria by build ,ing an hospital at Lindsay; and if the project be carried out, much of the credit will be due to Mr. Thomas Stew- art, who suggested it in a letter to the Post about a fortnight ago. On the lst inst. Mayor Smyth presided at a very large meeting, which was address- ed by several of the leading and most influential residents of the county town, one of whom (00]. Deacon) volunteered to lit up a ward in the hospital, and another (Squire McDonnell) said he would subscribe $150 to the building fund, and might perhaps increase the amount later on. A committee was ap- pointed to look after the preliminaries, the matter is to be brought before the county council and the reeves of the different townships at an darly date, and the county of Haliburtonâ€"â€"-from which patients will be admittedâ€"is to be asked to contribute to the fund. The want of an hospital at Lindsay has long been felt; the erection of one is as useful a way of celebrating the _Queen’s long reign as could possibly be devised; and so much enthusiasm and unanimity prevailed at the meeting that there can be but little doubt that the necessary amount will soon be rais- cd- by. grants of public money supple- mented by private subscriptions.

Departmental Stores. FOR STYLE AND ECONOMY COMBENED Go to Wm. Campbell, who has the largest, best assorted, most stylish and cheapest stock of MELLENERY The war against departmental stores in Toronto goes bravely on, and every few days some fresh exposure of their dishonest methods of doing business ap- pears iu print. All their opponents ask is that they shall be compelled to carry out the statements made in their ad- vertisements, and sell goods for what they are, instead of for what they are not, which is only a reasonable demand. The big concerns are doing as much harm in the States as they are in Cana- da, and this is what the Omaha Trade Exhibit has to say about them L “ We realize that one ofthe greatest enemies to general prosperity is the al- luring. insidious bargain-counter meth- ads of the departmental stores, who con- tinually cause good goods to be “ cut down," or made into inferior grades, thus bringing down wages and causing great loss to the entire producing classes, and in this manner cheapening human- ity. Scores of articles have lost their commercial value entirely by the con- tinuous “cutting ” of these department stores. Those firms which manufactur- ed them have been ruined and their em- ployees thrown out of work. In short, in town. Come early and SEE THE PLUMS. Our Opening takes place every day. use was.

Notices have been posted along the line of railway running through the Falls that, in compliance with the law, the owners of cattle must prevent them from running at large within half a l mile of the track; and a strict enforce meat of this law would compel the ‘ owners of many of the cows in this and : other villages either to dispose of them, ikcep them stabled night and day, or drive them to distant pastures, either of which would be a great hardship. The Port Perry correspondent. of the Whitby Chronicle, in noticing the kill- ing of a cow by a train, expresses the opinion that the law is a very unfair one as far as towns are concerned, and we think so too. It is not unreasonable to compel farmers, who have plenty of pasturage, to keep their cattle enclosed, as a large animal on the track where trains legitimately run at a high rate of speed is liable to cause a very serious accident; but the case is quite different in towns and villages, where the law requires trains to move so slowly that no harm can happen except to the luck less animal itself. Many persons think that a railway company ought to be compelled to fence its track securely throughout the whole extent of every corporation it traverses ; but there would not be much necessity for that if trains never exceededâ€"as they fre~ queatly doâ€"the speed prescribed by law. In almost every place there are many persons who find a cow a great help in raising their families, and to deprive them of that help would'be a downright cruelty. Of course, every year a certain number will wander on to the railway track and get killed. and we think it wouldn’t be a bad idea to levy an annual tax of (say) 25 cents upon every cow in the village, thus creating a fund outof which the owners of those killed could be compensated for their loss.
