A Good Suggestion. With the laudable intention of re- ducing shooting accidents in the hunt- ing season to a minimum, Mr. Taylor, is bringing up a bill in the , Provincial ister 51,: re councillors’ qualification ; Legislature to compel all hunters to wear red coats or be subject to a fine of twenty dollars; but a correspondent of the Toronto Star, who signs himself “ A Hunter,”says : “ If you have ever hunted, you will know that this will settle the still-hunt- er's hash, because the game could see a man in a red coat a mile away. espcc inllv on the snow. What. I think Mr. Taylor should do, if he wants to protect the sport. is to introduce a bill making the penalty for shooting. a hunter in mistake for game manslaughter, with ten or fifteen years’ imprisonment." Some years ago, when a. man in this county shot and mortally wounded an ’Indian whom he mistook for a bear. and afterwards shot and instantly killed his own son, whom he mistook for some other animal. we expressed surprise that the “ mistakes" were taken no notice of by the authorities. and made the same suggestion that “ A Hunter ” now makes. It is a good one, and ought to have been acted upon long ago. The indifl‘irrencc to loss of life through criminal carelessness is difficult to account for, and a law should be at once passed punishing such carelessness with whatever degree of severity the circumstances of the case appear to call for. At present. all a man has to do, if he wish to get rid ol’a rival in love or' business, is to go out hunting; with him, put a bullet or a charge of shot through him. and then to come back and say: “ Really, I am very sorry. but I thought he was a beast or a bird." It. is the duty of every man who goes hunting to be quite sure. beyond any possibility of doubt, that a creature ho sees in the woods is not a human being before he fires at it. If he will do this, he can not. kill- any other man by mistake; if he will not do it, he should go to the penitentiary for a long term of years. And the “idiotic boat rocker ” who causes loss of life should sufl'er the some punishment, or a shorter term for merc- ly upsetting a boat. A FareWell Visit. Mr. Alfred Inkpin having given up farming. with the intention of residing at the Falls, about thirty of his friends and neighbors assembled at his resi- dence in Verulam on the evening of the 10th inst, and presented him and his amiable partner with a very handsome tea set and the following address, to which Mr. Inkpin made a suitable reply: Dear Mr. and Mrs. Inkpin: We, a few of your friends and neigh- bors, have gathered here this evening, on the eve of your departure from our midst to Fenelon Falls, which we deeply regret, as you have always been good neighbors and always ready to lend a helping hand to any in need of such. What is our loss we trust will be Fenelon Falls’ gain. Would you please accept this too. set as a small token of our respect for you? Trusting God will bless and prosper you in your new home. . Signed on behalf of your many friends and neighbors. W. GOLDEN, Fano ELLIS. A few hours were devoted to amuse- meats and music, and an excellent sup- pcr was provided. Fenelon Council. ' Cameron.

(Correspondence of the Gazette ) Having: been such a hard winter and the roads in such a terrible condition, it. has been difficult tonct out. but now the weather is moderating and I think we will-soon have spring. At any rate everybody is hoping so, as feed is get- ting source and nearly all the wells and creeks are dry. This winter is one to be long remembered. It is two weeks since a train has gone through here, so it will be a great treat when the roads are all opened up once more. Miss Nollie Tipling, of Honey Grove, returned home from Vcrulam a few days ago. ‘ Mr. Thos. Hcrron has purchased a farm in the township of Educ, and has got about all moved away.

Cullir’s sale in Fenelon. 'l‘he harness had no breaching, and a- bout half a mile the other side of Powles’ Corner. where the road is little better than a succession of pitch-holes, one of the hold-bucks broke, and the loft shaft, striking the marc‘s ncck about six inches behind the jawbone, penetrat- ed it‘to a distance of fully eight inches, the point of the shalt entering the hick of her mouth. 'l‘he harness had to be cut to get her out of it. and she was- takcn to Mr. Powles's, where Dr. Ma- son wns in attendance upon her as soon- as possible. She is now in Mr. Thomas Poulsom’s stable on Francis street, and . .her rccchry, though possible, is hardly probable. She has managed to swallow a very little oatmeal in water; but that alone will not sustain life for any con- siderabl’e time, and she may starve to death tram want of solid food. She is standard bred, seven years old and a fast trottcr, and Mr. McGee gave $175 ' for her not long ago. FENELON FALLS MARKETS.
