Mamie S., by Lapidist Chief. This animal is fast rounding up in great form, and Mr. Simpson thinks that in a. couple of weeks she will be about right and will give a good account of herself when the bell rings. â€"With the advent of snow and the fine work of “Jack Frost" the local roadsters, trotters, andlpacers have little rest and are approaching great form. Nearly every day our sharp roadites and owners of speedy flyers can be seen driving on our thoroughfares, right up to the limit of the law. But towards the middle of the day, when real sharp work is the order, the streets are deserted and they can be found stringing out all the way from Carew's mill down to the Light House. Little contests of the “dash" system are most in vogue but not unfrequently the “best two in three" is indulged in. tor the glory that's In it. â€"Mr. Geo.

J Hallett left town for Barrie, where he will assume the duties of principal of the model school in that town. Mr. Hallett has been engaged for nearly a score of years as an instructor in our public schools and is eminently qualified to perform the arduous duties of his new position. No higher testimonial could be awarded Mr. Hallett than the fact that after so many years of continuous teaching, he of his-own accord voluntarily resigns to accept a higher pasition. Expressions of regret at his departure are heard not only from his pupils and the teaching fraternity, but also from citizens generally, who from long acquaintance and social intercourse have learned to honor and respect him, for his many sterlinv and upright qualities, bothasa citizen and teacher. We can gratulate Mr. Hallett upon his appoint- ment, and trust that many years of useful- ness are before him. A very pleasing event took place at the residence of the bride's mother in Lind- say, ‘on Wednesday of last week, when Miss Esther L. Sharpe, so hiuhly esteemâ€" ed as a teacher for several years on our public school staff, was united in marriage to Mr. D. McDougall, the popular head- master of the Fenelon Falls public schools. The Rev. R. Johnston performed the ceremony, whilst Miss McKay of Beaver- ton assisted the bride and Mr. McDougall of Toronto performed a like duty for the groom. A number of the immediate friends and relatives of the happy pair witnessed the ceremony. The presents Were beautiful and Costly. we extend to the happycouple our best wishes. Concert and Debate. Last Thursday night the third regular contest, in the form of a debate between two members of the Catholic Literary Society of Petcrboro and two members of the C. L. A. of Lindsay, took place in the oldopera house. Mr. McDonald, barrister, occupied the chair. The Lindsay men Messrs. Smith and Kenney, were there to make the statement good, “That Indepen- dence for Cainda is preferable to Annex- ation to the United States," and as in the two previous contests the Lindsay men had Won both, they were as anxious to be victorious again, as their opponents, Mr. Brick and Dr. Brennan. were toscore once in three trials. With the object, perhaps. of bringing the debaters into something like a placid mood, there was first a short concert. Instrumental duett, Miss Oryel, who presided at the piano with the easy grace that comes from long and careful practice, while Master John J. Smith played the violin with the air and skill of a master. Quartette, Moonlight, by Miss Annie O’Brien, Miss Minnie Corkery, Messrs. T. Brady, Ed. Gillogly. Solo, Miss Corkery. Solo, Master John J.

No sooner was the concert ended than the chairman introduced the speakers on the debate. 3Both sides of the question were ably ‘ argued. the remarks being highly interest- ing and instructive. Lack of space prevents us from publishing an outline thereof. Decision was given by the chairman in favor of the negative, but was not received with much satisfaction.

Songs were given by Miss Silver. Mr. Silver and Mr. Lamont, with a humorous reading by Mr. John Petty, all of which was well receiv- ed. Mrs. 'Roberts presided at the organ with her customary ability, and the Rev.

We desire to call the attention 0 parents to the danger of allowing children to “coast” on the hill immediately in the rear of McConnells liotel, leading to the upper steamboat wharf. The bill is very steep, and the descent has been made more swift by the addition of water, thus forming a smooth sheet of ice clear to the bottom and almost to- the rivers edge, which at this point is rapid and seldom frozen over. Were a sleigh loaded with children to plunge over the wharf, rescue would be impossible, and sleigh and chil- dren would be carried under the ice before a band could be raised to prevent it. It is only a few years ago since a. lamentable accident occurred at this pint, resulting in the drowning of one child and the miraculous escape of another. Parents and the policeâ€"if the latter have the authorityâ€"should try and put a stop to children coasting on this dangerous hill, or some terrible mident will certainly be the result before the winter is over. The sad intelligence has been received' of the untimely death of Mr. John Scan- lan, a former resident of Lindsay, at South Chicago. It appears that. Mr. Scanlan met with a fatal accident at midnight Saturday, while walking along the street on his way to the residence of his son, be- ing struzk by a stray bullte. The leaden missel of death tore its way through his intestines and lodged in his spine. Strange to say Mr. Scanian was not in- stantly killed. but managed to stagger along in a semi-conscious state for nearly half a block. when he fell exhauOd to the sidewalk. A Mr. Stinson found him sitting on the edge of the sidewalk and gave the alarm. the patrol waggon came dashing up and Mr. Scanlon was removed to the residence of his son James. He was then quite rational, and gave an ac» count of how and where he met with the acctdent Which was so soon to end his career on earth. On Sunday an efiort was made to remove the bullet, but he did not survive the operation. The doc- tor’s found the bullet lodged in the spinal :column. a piece of which adhered to it when extracted. The bullet was fired from a 32-caliber revolver. Michael Schmidt, who was celebrating the new year by firing his revolver. was arrested.
