The Toronto Star says: “ The people of Port Hope and Western Ontario gen- erally have reason to congratulate them- selves upon the attention which the Ot- tawa Government is giving the ques- tion of the outlet of the Trent Valley Canal. The decisive consideration in favor of the Port Hope outlet is the fact that to bring the canal out at Trenton would cut oilc Toronto and every other important center in the Western part of the Province from the trade of Peterboâ€" rough and the Midland counties. Hav- ing succeeded in reaching the ear of the Dominion Government with representa- tions to this effect, the people of Port Hope have been promised, through Mr. Beith, M. P, an independent survey and personal Ministerial investigation. This promise, Port liopc believes, is tantamount to the ultimate success of their efiorts. The merits of their route have convinced Boards of' 'i‘rado and newspapers, and are relied. upon to con- vince. the impartial engineers who are to be sent from Ottawa.” ' S. l. Pettl. the J ereler.

Powles’ Corner. â€"â€" (Correspondence of the Gazette.) We noticed a strange boy among the Iohcol children at the post-ofiiee one he was from Bathurst street'E'Toronto. There are attending our school-‘ many others from outside pointsâ€"eons from Lindsay, one from Ohio, too from or- ville and one from Severn Bridge. Mus- koka, besides a great number. who have moved into this section lately, whose parents have told us thatone of their chief objects in coming here was to get their children to a good school. This section ought to be proud of its school, for as far as we know there is-nota pere} ‘~ son-in the section who is not perfectly‘ " ‘ satisfied with the progress his children are making. Almost every child of school age and some others are in at- tendance at present, and we are inform- .ed that the average attendance. for this month has been over fifty. If this con- tinucs, the trustees will have to engage the second teacher. They intend add- ing more ground to the yard, and this, along with a brightening of the walls, which show the cfi'ect of last winter’s smoke, will be a step in the right direc- tion. We might. say that the children can never play ball on the playground without using great precaution on ac- count of the school and church windows, so it would be a great boon to them to have a larger playground.‘ Miss Lyla Rutherlord has gone to Midland, and expects to be , away a month or more.
