A basket social was held at the resi- dence of .‘lr. Joseph l’errin last Friday night. Those who were present had a very enjoyable time and about $10 was realized by the sale of the baskets. Mr. W. Townsend of Cameron was auction- cer. The proceeds were in aid of the lcorganized Church of Latter Day Saints, at Cameron. Mr John Knox is unwell at present with an attack oflagrippe.

Mr. Editor : As we have just entered upon a new year, I take. the liberty of writing a few more items for the Gazette without asking permission. For sev- eral years we have brought Powles’ Cor- ncr prominently before the minds of the readers of the Gazette, and we have good reason to believe that our endea- vours have always been appreciated by you, Mr. Editor; and when thc time comes for our departure from l’owles' lorncr to another part of the globe, we will gladly make room for some one who has no faults, and for a perfect tvpc of manhood; perfect in every particular, loving.r his neighbor as himself.

On Mon- day of last week Detective Chamberlain of Ottawa had gathered up enough evidence to make him believe that John O'Connor of Mcdonte township was engaged in the manufacture of illegal money. Accompanied by Constable Woodrow he visited O'Connor’s house and found metal dies and tools for making the coins. as well as consider. able correspondence. He was taken to Coldwatcr and tried before Magistrates Manning and Levering and was com- mitted to Barrie gaol to stand his trial at the next nssizes. O'Connor is well known in Mcdonte, and is believed to be one ofa gang who have for some time pursued their illegal manufacturing without detection.” 0*. A new scheme is being: operated by robbers. having a kodak or something resembling it. One of them goes to a farm house and tells the family that he is getting: up a history of that section to publish in a leading paper, and wants to make a picture of the family and buildings, telling the farmer it will not cost a cent. The family group themselves out in front and the operator is quite a while in getting a satisfactory picture. At last he is done and takes his leave, to“- ing them about what time they can cx- pcct to see the paper with it in. Dur- inq this time his confederate has looted the house, taking money, jewellery and watches. In one instance the kodak Was a cigar box covered with leather. I W CORRESPONDENCE. !
