The Jubilee Over. The Queen’s Jubilee celebration is now over, and will soon cease to be the subject of conversation, but it will be read of in English history when (the world enduring) Queen Victoria’s days shall have become as remote as those of her renowned ancestor, Alfred the Great, new are. The pageant on Tuesday in London was of the utmost splendour, and, although millions of persons wit- nessed it. the only accident yet. recorded 1 is. that which happened to the venerable Earl Howe, the Gold Stick, who, while l riding behind the Queen- iir the proccs- l | Paint? 5 Paint ? ?

The law’s delay is proverbial, and is well illustrated in the case of" Mrs. Mc- Diarniid of this village. On the 11th of October, 1895, she was knocked down and her ankle badly sprained by an express truck on the platform of the G. T. R. at Toronto, and it has taken over twenty months to ascertain what amount of compensation she is entitled to. At. the trial before Judge Falcon- bridge she was awarded 81,500 dam- ages and costs against the G T. R. Co. and the Canadian Express Co, who were sued jointly; and both defendants appealed on a variety of grounds, the chiefonc being that there was no evi- dence of negligence on the part. of the l defendants’ servants. At the time of theaccident the plaintiff was practically a passenger on the G. T. R., as her jour ncy was not completed. and she was walking across the platform from a train to the waiting room with her ticket. in ' come early 311d her pocket.

O. F., came off on Tuesday last according to announce ment. The steamer chartered for the occasion was the Sunbeam. owned by Messrs. White 5: Grylls of li-ikefield, who were both on board. the former officiating as captain and the latter as engineer. The Sunbeam is it handsome boat, 86 feet long and 17 fcctwide over all, and is said to have the strongest hull of any craft on these waters. She was originally a sidewheelcr, but since last season her paddle boxes and wheels have been removed and she has been furnished with a propeller. llcr engine is of 50 horse-power, she is chartered to carry 225 adult passengers, draws 4. feet 7 inches of water. and her aver age speed is about nine miles an hour She left the Falls a little before nine o'clock with about two hundred on board. and, the weather being very fine. though rather windy, and the steamer steady and commodious. the day's out. ing would have been as pleasant as could be desired, but for some untoward cir- cumstances which occurred during the trip. As the Sunbeam. had never be- fore been above the locks, Mr.John Shane of this village was engaged as wheelsman ; but- the channel iii the river is tortuous and narrow, he was handling, a boat to which he was unac- customed, and the result was that, especially on the return trip, the Sun.- beam several times touched bottom and occasionally ran aground. and had eith- er to wriggle into deeper water or be hauled off the shoal by Mr. John A. Ellis’s little steamer, the Dawn. which fortunately accompanied her. The trip to West Bay was made in good time without. mishap, but the water is shal- low for several rods from shore. and it took the Sunbeam a considerable time to get in and land her passengers. who remained long enough to take a leisure- ly dinner underthc trees and then roam around for nearly an hour and view the beauties of the spot and the commence- ment. of the section of the T. V. C through which vessels will come from Lake Siincoe into Balsam Lake The village of Coboconk was reached early in the afternoon, and here oc‘ curred an accident. that might easily have resulted fatally. As the Sunbeam was to remain for some little time, Mr. Rowland, head teacher in the ll‘enelon Falls south ward school, and Mr. ll‘un- ter, electrician in the village electric light works, borrowed or hired a small skiff that was moored below the bridge and invited Miss Violet. Wilson and Miss Bertie Brokenshirc to go for a ride. The offer was accepted, thcfonr entered the boat, which, after a while, was rowed under the bridge, and had gone but a short distance beyond when it was caught in the eddy at. the foot of the dam. Wlll'l‘lcll around and upset. Both young mbn could swim, but Mr. Heater received so severea blow on the side of his head (though he does not know from what) that for a. time he was nearly stunned, and‘ might have been drowned but fer the- help afforded him by Mr. James Bray, of the Falls. who had thrown off his coat,jiimpcd into the water and swum out to give assistance to any member of the party who might need' it. Miss Brokenshirc was carried by the eddy to the apron of the dam, to which she clung until a resident of C'oboconk, whose name We cannot learn,clinibcd down on to a pier. reached down his hand and' pulled her up. Miss Wilson was conveyed to shallow water by Mr. Rowland, and was then helped to shore by him and Mr. James Fields, of the Falls, who waded out a Considerable distance to meet. them. “ Ali’s well that ends well," but the spot at which the boat upset is said by those who know it to be very dangerous, and the four young persons may be very thankful that they escaped with their lives. aquatic adventure they went to l’attie's hotel, where they were supplied with such comforls as they required and dry clothes. The return home was replete with incidents somewhat disconcerting to the most tiiiiorous of the lady passengers. The boat was only a few rods from the (,‘obcconk bridge when she got stuck in shallow water, and it required consider- able time and trouble to get her all an l l l l y. consequence of a projection on tbé‘side‘ of the boat. catching on the wall of the lock, causing her to tilt. sideways for about two seconds when the water be» gan to run out of the lock. A few minutes later the Sunbeam was again on her way, and reached the Falls about nine o‘clock. She is an excellent boat. but draws almost too much water to allow of wild steering in the rivers north of here. “The suntan? We have not looked into the village finances lately; but, whether they are flourishing or the reverse, a little money ought to be spent on the sidewalks, which iii many places are getting into ll‘ dangerous condition. We notice that a little tinkering has been done lately under the directions of Constable Novi- son; but. laying down a new plank here and there and driving in a few nails fall far short of meeting the require- ments. A great many of the old planks- have worn so thin that they bend ap- preciably under even our light weight, and Some ol'thc sidewalksare so uneven â€"owing to the different thicknesses of the planksâ€"that after it is too dark for' the inequalities to be seen pedestrians- i'oll about as if they were under the iiiâ€" flncnce of liquor. Numerous holes large enough to take a child's foot can be found; boards an inch or more higher at the ends than those adjoining them are apt to trip people up, and project- ing nails are a source of danger to boots- and shoes as well as to their wearers. There is a difference of opinion as to- the liability of a corporation for cool» dents caused by defective sidewalks, some maintaining that it is necessary for the attention of the authorities to be called to the defects to make the corpor- ation responsible; but we do not believe- that the plea of ignorance would be al< lowed in a case in which it could be proved that the authorites could not help knowing that. repairs were neces- sary. At any rate, in the present in» stance, this notice in. the Gazette will. be sufficient. Powles’s Corner. (Correspondence of the GIIZCHC.) Mr. A. E.
