It occurred to him that it would be a good idea to publish weekly biographical sketches of the for-omen of the various composing rooms in the. city. He began with the Herald oflice. The sketch began something like this: “Mr. Blank, the foreman of the Herald chapel, was born in Toronto, Canada." The subject of the next narrative was “born in Montreal. Canada." The next first saw the licht in "Three Rivers, Canada." After this “St. John's, Canada." and “Halifax, Canada," followed in order, and then the editor re- ceived a letter which read after this fashion: “In the name of the noble bald- headed bird of freedom and by the shade of the immortal George Washington, I beg of you to let up on biographies of chapel foremen until we can at least raise one American to break the Canadian monopoly." â€"-The board of management of the Home for the Aged have much pleasure in acknowledging the receipt of $50, being the amount of a legacy be uenthed to the home by Miss Mary Ann . atthie, late of Inkster, Dakota, to which place she went to reside some twenty years ago, when she took up a. quarter section of land, the cultivation and manauement of which she personally superintended, and by her skill and industrv she acquired comider- able wealth.

The town is situated on the Sturgeon river at the falls, just four miles from the lake, and they possess the best natural water powers in the province for manufacturing purposes. Already they have a fully. equipped saw- mill and pulp mill, and expectvto have a paper mill in the near future. Trouble has been experienced in the past from .lumbermcu permitting their logs to fill the river from this point to the lake, thus interfering with navigation. The attention of the government has been tailed to the matter, and this year some $to,ooo.will be expended in boominfg'tbc river so that in future vessel owners wi lhavc no rasouvto complain in this respect.

Dezeased was the eldest son of the late Billings Warner of Yarker, who while bathing with his brother James, (now in New York), in the river there, got beyond his depth, and being unable to swim, was drowned. Mrs. Warner, his widow, afterwards married the late Capt. Edmund Hooper, M.P. for Lennox, and died about a year ago at Lindsay. About twenty years ago with his brother Isaac, now also of Lindsay, he started business in Napance, and later was a. traveller for a Toronto firm. A few years ago he started an extensive dry goods business in Lindsay, which he carried on successfully until his death. Deceased married a daughter of the late Lyman Moore, Hamilton, who with seven children survive him. Mr. \Varnet was an excellent business man and a favorite with all large circle of relatives and acquaintances in Napanee and vicinity, who will regret his early demise (aged 52 years) in the prime of life. The bereaved wife and brother have the sym- pathy of their many friends in this section. â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"~.â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" Sporting World. â€"Th2 pacing gelding Henderson won the freevfor-all race at Aylmer last week. â€"-â€"It is rumored that the great Corbett prize- fight has been declared oil, as the trainers can’t get a pair of gloves to Fiizsimmons. â€"Mr. C, Burns of Toronto has sold Gennva to go to England, and the little champion will be shipped within a week. â€"The great pacing stallion Keswick. has been given a. little work over the ice down the river.
