H ’ 7 "The Bobcaygeon, Lindsay and Pontypool Railway. The directors of the B. L. and Pontypool railway company have decided to submit at an early date to the various municipal- ities interested the question of the assistance that will be required in the shape of bonuses to aid in the construction of the road. At a meeting held a couple of weeks ago a careful estimate was made .of the amount that would be required, and of the share which each of the muni- nipalities could be fairly asked to contri- bute. The figures will be submitted at an early date, and it will be found that. the In conclusion we would say that all measures calculated to advance the material interests of the town and county will always meet with our approval and receive our hearty support, and we feel confident. that. Tm: WATCHMAN will enjoy a liberal share of public patronage and favor. ' In each and every department it will be our aim to keep upa high standard of excellence. In our Job Printing depart- mentextensive additions will be made from time to time, as our increasing patronage demands. The same will be placed under the careful supervision of a first-class foreman, and our prices will be consistent with good work. The live stock interests of this district have never met with that share of atten- tion in the public press, that in our opin- ion so important a department of our husbandry deserves. It will, therefore, be our endeavor to change this order of things, and we invite the hearty co-oper- ation of farmers and stockmen generally in our efforts to advance the interests of this important branch of agriculture. We will be pleased to meet the numerous stockmen throughout the district at any time to discuss matters relating to this important branch; and it will be esteemed a great favor to have the opportunity of looking over the farms and stock through- out the district from time to time, as we find it convenient to visit the different Iccalities which will be reachec. by THE WA'rchAX. In order that we may extend the use- fulness of THE “7.1TCHMAN it will be our duty to enlarge and otherwise improve its columns from time to time, and nothing will be left undone to make it a. welcome visitor at each and every home in this district. A staff of local writers through- out the country Will be engaged to glean fresh and crisp news items for our reader 8. It will be our aim to make the local new a department full and interesting. A full complement of provincial and foreign news also will always be found, and thus our readers will be made conversant with the doings of the outside world. Complete and reliable market reports it ill also prove a leading feature of our columns. In politics we shall be independent of any party, and will honestly endeavor to praise where we believe praise is merited. and to censure what we believe to be wrong, in the best interests of our county, the Province, or the Dominion. We believe that blind partyism is fast losing its hold upon the community, and that independent journalism, in pulitics as well as in all other matters, meets with the approval of the vast majority of the public. In assuming the control of THE \VA'I‘CII- MAN. i: is our duty, in this our initial number and also the first number of the New Year, to lay before our readers and the public generally our aims and expec- tations, and to map out the lines upon which THE VVATCHMAN will be conducted in the future. bought expressly for this holi- day season.

Mr. Matthews was convxcted of publishing and issuing his paper on Sunday, Dec. 27, 1891, under the act of 1794, which prohibits worldly pursuit: for the Sabbath, save those that are an absolute necessity for the wants of the community. The court niys that the framers of the act of 1794 could not foresee the growth of newspapers or that they would possibly have exempted them under the provisions of the act.

Portuguese keeper of the wayside resort near San Leandro, yesterday, while suf- fering from delirium tremens, went to the room of Anton Dias, his barkecpcr, whom he called upon to open the door. An ecclesiastic who occupies a. high posi- tion in this archdiocese says had this letter reached the Pope it was said Dr. Mc- (‘ lynn would not have been excommunica- ted. Dr. McGlynn did not know that this letter had 111iscarried, and was sur- prised at the end of 40 days to find himself excommunicated. ugnmsn mm by Arclimsno ) Liorngau. He was excommuuieatma because a letter which he despatched to the Pope after re- ceiving the cablegram from him ordering him to Rome within 40 days was “sup- pressed” before it. reached its destination. These charges will hang over the head of Dr. McHlynn, but it, is extremely doubtful if they will ever be pushed. The case will probably never be reopened. Dr. Mcb‘lyun was excommunicated tor “contumztcy,” in not. having game to Rome when summoned by the Pope to answer the charges made against, him by Archbishop Corrigan. Archbishop Currigan ch.1rg~es against Dr. .\Ic(:‘l}nn disobedience and preaching false doctrines. The doctrmeh have not. been acted upon at all by Mgr.

Some loud talking on the part, of one of the Risners very nearly precipltated a fight in town about. 2 o’clock, but prompt interference of the authorities prevented it. The fight took place an hour later. No ar~ rests have been made, and it is feared that another fight. is imminent. The prisoners were arraigned before Police Judge George H. Gardner, and the commonwealchnnt being ready for trial they were released under bonds. Reports as to who was immediately responsible for the terrible affair are conflicting and it is not even knowu who fired the fatal shots. Dug. Risner and Samuel Risner were brought here this morning by Coroner Cole, charged with assault. on W. T. Desking. The coroner made a. guard of the persons who were identified with the prosecution, and for whose protection the warrant. was issued. This was resented by the friends of the prisoners and both sides came to towu heavily armed. W. T. Patriéli received an. rifleâ€"hall along the right side of his head, butmayre- Cover.
