On Sunday a naval engagement took place outside the harbor of Manilla, and resulted in a decisive victory for the American squadron, which received considerable damage, but burned, sank or disabled several of the largest of the Spanish ships. Manilla was then bombarded and is believed to have been taken; but, owing to the cutting of the cable, no definite and reliable information as to the state of affairs can be obtained. The portiOn of the Spanish fleet that left the Cape de Verde islands a few days ago is expected to reach Cuba by the end of this week, and will probably show fight, only to be utterly routed, as the American ships are far larger, more heavily armed and better manned.- erect, place or maintain any poles, wires or other appliances under the authority of this by-law shall indemnifynnd save harm- less the corporation of and from all loss,. costs, damages, charges and expenses that they may in any waysufl‘er or be put to for, by reason or on account of the erection,l placing or maintaining the said poles,‘ wires and other appliances, and this shall be a condition to their right to erect. place . or maintain the same under this by-luw. Councillor Martin opposed the by-law with all his might, but the reevc and the other members seemed undecided, and it was finally decided to consult the village solicitor (Hr. McLaughlin) on Monday. and to hold another meeting on Thursday. Not b alicving that. in the face of public opinion, anything def- inite will be done this (Thursday) even- ing, as the matter is of too much im~ portanee to be settled hastily, we say to the council : Don’t do itâ€"â€"don't pass the by-law until you have some assur- ancn that the village shall have some~ thing in exchange for the concession of the valuable privilege asked for. When, a year or more ago, it was rumored that p :rties in Lindsay contemplated acquir- ing the water power here for the purpose for which it is now wanted, everybody declared that the- project Would be a great blow to the village, which was per- fectly true; and it is just as true now as it was then. Mr. Culverwell says that his company can obtain a charter that will enable them to erect their poles in the village; but. if so. why does he ask our permission to do it ? There is a story ofan Irishman who, being about to be hanged. cmnpelled the 20:11 officials to carry him to the scaffold, on the ground that ifhe walked he would be a party to his owu death ; and if the coun cil paSs that by-law they will be parties to a great and lasting injury to the vi]- lage. If we cannot prevent the inflic- tion of that injury we must "grin and bear it;’_’ if we can. let us do so by all means. If the syndicate would estab- lish a big factory or two at the Falls, we would not object to the transmission ofthc surplus power to Lindsay; but they appear to want everything and give nothing in exchange. Public Library Meeting; The general annual meeting of the members of the Fenelon Falls public library was held on Mon-day evening, Mr. Thomas Robson in the chair. A statement showing the standing of the Library was read by Mr. W. L. Robson. The annual financial report. and: the librariau’s report were adopted as read. Moved by Mr. Junkin, secmdcd by Mr. Fraser, That the following gentle- l deared herself to the members of Won \ church. and was a devoted and earnest 5 Sabbath school teacher." , The news of the young lady's early l death was received with much regret. by the many friend‘- of the family in Fcn~ ; clon Falls. and sympathy lor her par- : cuts and other relatives was felt an i cx~ , pressed by all who knew them durin-v . _ 3 their long resnlence here.

As Mr. l‘llgin Coulter was returning; home on Tuesday evening, and while he was fastening the gate after driving. his team through, his horses ran away with Mrs. Coulter and the little girl in the waggou. The road from. the main road to the barn is down a very steep hill and over a creek, the bridge over the creek being some eight or ten feet above the water. The little‘ girl was thrown from the Waggon wheli part of' the way down the hill? but the horses, with the waggon and Mrs. Coulter in it, all went. over the bridge into the erck; Mr. Coulter run after the runaway horses. but when he saw Mrs. U. strug- gling in the water, he paid very little attention to the team, and went to her assistance. The water is of' censider- able depth at that part of the creek, and»: it is doubtful if he would have been. able to get her out, or in fact get out himself. had not.

Alexan- der Culverwell, the representative of the syndicate mentioned in our issue of the 15th ult., laid before the village council, at a special meeting called for the purpose, a Lindsay-built by-Iaw, of which the following is a copy: Whereas John Alexander Culver-well, electrical and mechanical broker, and George White-Fraser, electrical engineer, both of the city of Toronto, hereinafter called the contractors, propose to acquire the water power at the village of Fenelon Falls for the purpose of producing clcc- tricity and supplying and distributing the same for the purposes of light, heat and power in the village of Fenelon Falls, town of Lindsay and other places, and to form a joint stock company for the pur- Mr. W.

Moved by Mr. Junkin. seconded by Mr. Nie, That a hearty vote of thanks be tendered Messrs. C. Burgoyne and J. J1. Arnold for their kindness and urbanity in auditing the books of the Libraryâ€"Carried. Moved by Mr. Junkin, seconded by Mr. Chute, That any stranger, the guest of or introduced by any member of the Library, be allowed the privilege of the reading room on any temporary visits they may be making in the village. â€"Carricd. The board then adjourned, to meet at the call of the chairman. The Late Miss Lochead.

The hotel keeper says that if a man wants to drink whisky, that is his own. business. One man’s drinking often becomes the business of several hun- dreds. or thousands, ofl‘pcople, and the- man who cannot perceive this fact ought to be sent at once to an institution for- the education of. the feeble minded.
