The local curlers wound up the best season in tlie‘history of their club with a grand banquet at the McArthur House on Monday evening, which was attended by nearly every member of the club. The proceedings commenced at about nine o'clock, when the president, Mr. J. L. Arnold, took the seat of honor, and the assembly proceeded to dispose of one, of the best bills-ofâ€"fare that has been provided in the village for a long time. After the various good things had been safely stowed away, a couple of hours were very enjoyany spent in discussing the events of the past season and prospects for the future. The Bob- caygcon-Stanton cup was formally pre- sented, and Mr. Stanton’s substantial interest in the promotion of the game by the donation of the cup was" highly commended, as was also that of Mr. Brandon in donating a cup for the local rink competition, and this cup was preâ€" ,' sented to Mr. W. H. Robson, the skip of g the winning rink. Though the gathering was of a purely social nature, the disâ€" cussion - of some of the games played naturally led to mention of the trouble caused each winter by the heaving of the rink bottom, and the consequent im- possibility Of maintaining a level sheet of ice. Two remedies were suggested, one of which was to move the rink to some location where a solid, level bottom could be secured, and the other, which appears more feasible, was to put a board floor in the rink where it now stands. The members were unanimous in the opinion that something would have to be done in the matter before next winter, and a committee was appointed to conâ€" sult with the shareholders and report at a meeting to be held on April 3rd. The proceedings were enlivened by a couple of excellently rendered solos by Messrs. Thos. Cashore and A. Moss. Deep regret and sympathy were expressed by all the speakers in referring to the serious ill- ness of Mr. H. Austin, who, ever since the organization of the club, has been one-of its most enthusiastic -membors. The evening's enjoyment was brought to a close at about 11.30 by the singing of the National Anthem.

The ceremony was perform- ed by the Rev. W. H. A. French, Rector of St. James’, Fenelon Falls, in the pres- ence of a large gathering of friends and relatives. The bride was attended by Miss Shuttleworth, sister of the groom, who himself was supported by the bride’s brother, Mr. Henry Bulmer. After the ceremony, the assemby sat down to a splendidly served wedding supper. The large number of appropriate and valu- able presents testified to the high esteem in which the young couple are held. â€"_â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"-â€"â€"- .. __._._.__.-- _ ‘-_A...._..A.._ mlwo Accidents.

Sam Sud? daby, of Burnt River, the energetic sec- retary of the Burnt River Telephone 00., in a talk over the ’phone on Tuesday, in~ formed us that prospects are bright for the extension of the line through Bad- dow to ltosedale in the immediate future. Mr. Suddaby made a trip over the route of the proposed new line on Mondav, and found the people all along the way Eager to have it go through at once, and ready“ to subscribe the necessary capital. 001;- a few miles below Burnt River, from which point to Rosedale the distance is about nine miles, As distance makes practically no dillerence‘ to a well-equip- ped telephone line, this connection will give the Rosedale people just as good a service as if the line came (lirectkto the Falls. Docs Personaeâ€"Mr. W. H. Stevenson, of Verulam, had three dogs poisoned one were away from home, spending the even-4 ing with friends in ll‘enelon. Mr. Stevâ€" enson‘s dog family, consisting of two old dogs and several pups, lived in the barn, and the miscreant who sought their lives had walked deliberately up to the barn door, as shown by his tracks on the snow, and thrown two or'more for the dogs to find when they came out to see who was trespassing on their master’s property. When Mr. Stevenson came home in the small hours of the mornmg, he found two of his hound pups and a valuable collie bitch dead in the‘ barn, and a couple of the other canines had received a dose, but not sulficient to ‘ kill them. The pups were well-bred animals, and one of them had been sold for $5, but the buyer had not taken it home. The collie was also wellâ€"bred, and was the best ratter in the neighbor'- hood. Mr. Stevenson cannot imagine a motive for the cowardly deed, as his dogs were wellâ€"behaved animals, and he had never had any complaint of them. He thinks that 'poison is altogether too easy to obtain, and that stricter regular? . tions should govern its sale by (l ruggists, adding the suggestion that if the name" of every purchaser of poison were made illegally.
