Lindsay Ont. DI-:.\R SIR,â€"â€"W'e are informed by Eli" Freeman that. it is the. intention of the council to pass a bylaw confirming the contract, between the corporation of the :own of Lindsay and the Lindsay water- works Company, under and in accordance with the report made by Dr. Bryce. Secre- tary of tne Provincial Board of llealth. \Ve understand that it is expected that this company will enter into a contract. to construct these works for the Lindsay \Vaterworks Company. Ye wish to call Your attention to the first statement in Dr. Bryce’s report. viz : "That. owing: to the contract. so faras complete having been signed before the plans, source, analysis et:., were submitted to the Pro- vincial Board as required by Sec. 30 C AP. 205 R.S.O., it. would be well to closely in quire as to how far the contract then signed is legal, and as to whether the contract as at present existing or modified, should be re-signcd." ‘ ' 7 cu.) «lust» IC‘VAF‘L nnnnn By reference to the. Statutes, we find that the Doctor is correct, and that the report of the Provincial Board of Health should pre- cede the adoption of plans and the execu- tion of a corn tract Now, we ask that this contract he re- Kassed and re-executed, and that the same e made to conform to the report. of Dr. Bryce, and that Section 1 be made to read as follows :â€" ‘ “The water shall be taken from the‘ ‘ Scugog river at the point where Mary street ‘ intersects the same. The water to be im- proved so far as practicable by filtering: through sand and gravel without the use of patented devices." Our reason tor insisting that the Water Company shall not be required to use patented filters is, that we have had large experience in these matters and know that these filters are not a practical success. Rather than to be directly or indirectly re- quired to use such filters we would have nothing to do with a waterworks enter- prise. L- Avnnné'nfl in Pl Lac . Unless the contract can be executed in conformity With the Views herein expressed it will have no interest for us. Yours very respectfully, MOFFETT, HODGKINS 8: CLARKE Co. Mr. Dundas then addressed the cc uncil. He said the letter just read changed the whole tenor of the contract, and he Was not prepared to discuss the matter, but suggested that it should be referred to a joint committee of the Council and Board of Trade, which was concurred in by the other members of the Board. On motion of Mr. Mellon, seconded by Mr. Fee. the contract was referred back to the committee on waterworks. On motion of Mr. Head, seconded by On motion of Mr. Kylie, Mr. Barron was heard by the council in reference to the proposed Opera. House. He said that he appearel on the part of a few citizens led l‘" r m' "'m‘thv station agent, Mr. Matchett, and pointed out the urgent necessity there was for such a building being erected in the town.

MOXTREKL, March 2‘}.â€"â€"News was re- Culvcd to-day from Rome to the effect that a new diocese will in the near future be formed on the north shore of the St. Law- rence. and it is generally understood in ecclesiastic circles that the flourishing town of Yalleyfield, in the county Beaul‘arnois. has been chosen as the headquarters of the new bishop, who will be appointed at an early day. The religious authorities have for a number of years felt the necessity of dividing the extensive and populous archdiocese of Montreal and of giving his grace Monseigneur Fabre one or two more sufl‘raoan bishops, The di- vision just mentioned is therefore the first move this direction, and no one need be surprised if still another diocese is formed out of ihe Montreal district. Of course a great deal of conjecture is being indulged in by Montreal Catholics as to which of the many able priests of the arch- diocese will be called by the papal court1 to preside over the new and important ' episcopal see of Valleyfield, but it is not ' likely they will have very long to wait. It is known that as usual three names have been sent to Rome, viz., Rev. Canon Emard, chancellor of the archdiocese of Montreal ;Rev. Mr. Proulx, vice rector of Laval University and Rev. Canon Raciot, also of the archbishop’s palace. His Murderous Career Further Shown Upâ€"Excitement at Liverpool.

A Divinity Student of Victoria Universitv Lost in Lake Ontari0' COBOURG, March 20.â€"A very sad acri- rlcnt, unfortunately attended by loss of life, nccurred here Saturday morning, which has cast a. gloom over the whole ruwn, and especially over the students of‘ Victoria.

A very strong wind Was 1 blowing from the north-west at the time and whether the wind carried the boat out into the lake, or whether the young man directed the boat in a. southerly direc- tion, will never be known. Suffice it to say that the boat and its occupmt were -L -_- "dd. .1 nulun. \u-v vvw‘ soon a long way from shore, with a heavy sea rolling. The life-boat crew were notified at once, and set out to the rescue :m-l were about a quarter of a mile from the drifting boat when a. huge wave fiiled t or and boat and occupant sank to rise no more. The life boat crew with difficulty made the Grafton harbor, and nearly perished after their experience. The Boat swamped about three miles out of Grafton meg to the heavy sea and cold weather no attempt has yet been made to find the 3 body. Deceased was a very promising young man about 22 years of of age, and was in his final year. He had been preach- ing on probation on several circuits. The poor young fellow had recently bought the boat, and his anxiety to test her sail- ing qualities led to his untimely death. The event was ieelingly referred to in all the town churches to-day.

Ward Speaks of Them From a Commercial Point of View. The fourth of the series of the Somer- ville lectures was delivered last evening in the Natural History Society rooms. Mr. J. S. Shearer presided‘ but the audience was not nearly so large as the excellence of the lecture deserved. The lecturer was Mr. J. K. \V-ird, M. L. 0., [who discoursed in a very entertaining manner on “Canadian Woods: Their Economical Use.” He pointed out that the trees indigenous to this country were divided into two classesâ€" coniferous or eVergreens, and deciduous or leaf-shed- ding trees. He then went on to speak of the principal trees of each class and from j __A___‘j y-nv 1"..-”"1" a commercial point of view and named the different uses to which they are put in the arts and manufactures. Speaking of white pine he said it was a tree that served more purposes than could be enumerated. \Vhenever a Soft, easy work- Vl.vâ€"--â€"'â€" i. _, ing wood was wanted in the arts, m the workshop or in the factory there it was to be found. An article of commerce it far suppassed any other wood. It gave more imployment to the wage-earning men than any trade in the country except agricul- ture. The value of pine lumber in : Cana- da alore was, at least, twenty-five millions of dollars a year, or tWO and a half times ‘ as much as that of any other manufactur- ing industry. and when it was borne in mind that. 60 yer cent. of this was paid for labor, c., to men rel, resenting a large portion of the population, it would readily be seen how important it was, either by legislation or otherwise. to protect and conserve the sources of this greater factor in the country’s trade to all posterity.â€" Montreal Gazette. Converts Deserting Him-The Toronto Discicles Returning; Homeâ€"The DeIu-j sion Wearing Itself Outâ€"Statement of a Lady Member of the Church. DETROIT, March 17.â€"Prince Michael lost some of his followers yesteiday and others are preparing to leave for their for- mer homes as soon as they can get funds to pay the railroad fare. The family of S B. Radebaugh, who came from Crbana, Ills, six weeks ago to join Michael, left the city for Jacksonville, 1115., where Mrs. Radebaugh’s people live, last night. Mr. Radebaugh is an intelligent man of about fifty years. He was quite a prominent man and lawyer in Crbana. His family consists of a grown up son, three grown up daughters, his wife, and seteral young children. He is the man who acted as attorney in the Richardson case, repre- senting Prince Michael during the trial. He for many years has been a liberal Presbyterian, and is still a member of a Presbyterian church in Illinois. It was stated last night that a Mr. Dawson and family, whose former home was in Rich- ,, L- ‘LAL $1-41. Ant: mond, Ind., will return bid adieu to Michael. young druggist of To: position as manager of and came to VDgtroit» wi LICE 6’..N' CiTTLE Michael and his followers. “ We shall leave for Toronto in a’day or two,” said Mrs. Reman last night. “ We were de- luded into this thing, and want to get out as soon as we can. Michael is a pretender. He speaks of his work as God‘s work. It is anything but that. My husband gave up a nice position in Toronto. Our com- :ing here in connection with this move- ment has got into the papers there, and it is very unpleasant for us to go back, but we have got to face the music. We were satisfied that Michael was not what he claimed to be soon after we came here. I shall be glad to get away from the long- haired people, and there are lots of other people who will be getting away soon. I don’t know how many, but the Toronto people, I think, will most all go back.” Mrs. Beman says that a very nice young lady came with them, and that thus far she seems to be entirely carried away with the belief of Prince Michael. “Her folks blame us,” said Mrs. Beman, “for having her come here with as. \‘~'e did not influence her to come; she came of her own free will. We are trying to convince 1 her now that she had better give up Michael and come home with us, but the. far we have been unable to succeed. She gave him her money, about $300, Which he would return to her if she asked for it now, but now she Won't dc it. I am sorry for the poor deluded creatures who have been fooled by Michael." Several other followers of Michael are planning to leave for their homes, and it is evident the organization is beginning to lose strength. The members are very gaurded in what they say, and even those who see their mistake will not,,with one or two excep- tions, talk freely on the subject. â€"USEâ€"â€"- HEINBOTHAM’S INSEGT - PEWBEB.
