COMMENCING Reeve Kylie and his fellow council- lors on the fire and water committee are bringing order out of chaos, as for as the Lindsay Fire Department is concerned and radical and progressive changes are the oxder of the day. Plans have been prepared and tenders asked for the requisite changes at the fire station and the work necessary win be gone on with without any more unnecesfiary delay, we are informed. The Static-n will be re-modelled, a stall built to hold two horses and a bedroom partitioned oll ior the driver. The horses have not yet been purchased, but their selection is in good hands. There are already several applications for the pusuion 0! driver. The men for the: brigade under the new regula~ tions are yet to be chosen, but. in the maritime the old men are working as unaL when require-d.

THE Patrons of Industry are rapidly coming to the front and give every promiSe of being the strongest organi- zation that the farmers have ever made yet. The annual convention of the Grand Association opened at Toronto, on Tuesday, with some sixty delegates in attendance. The reports show that there are now 2000 associations, an increase of 600 over last year. The total membership is now 35,090 against 26,996 in 1892. They are organized in 39 counties, 10 more than last year. The treasurer’s statement showed a balance on hand of $6,512,- 98, the total receipts having been $15,065.69. Politics are tabooed and in the County of Victoria, the order is strong and rapidly increasing. THE eiecrion at Toronto, on Tuesday, to fill the vacancy in the Ontario Legislature, caused by the death of the late Mr. N G. Bigelow, caused con- siderable excitement and the party heelers on both sides spent a very busy time for some weeks peevious to the polling day. There were three candidates. conservative, reform and lobar. Dr. Ryerson, conservative was elected by 592 over Dr. Ogden, while “Jimuel Briggs” only polled 640 votes altogether. The conservatives are very jubilant over the victory, as they redeemed the constituency. At the election in April, .1892, less than a. year age, Mr N . G. Bigelow, reformer, ihad a plurality of 816 over Kent, con- lservstive. â€"-An agitation in on foot to separate the countxea of horthumbetland and Dur- ham.

THE WATCHMAN. He is Re-elected Reeve by the Rousing Maiority of 277. At the municipal election in January last, Mr. Jas. H. Wilson, was elected Reeve of the Township of Manvers. after a. bitter fight, by amajority of seven votes. over Mr. John Kennedy, who for fourteen years had held municipal offices in the township. Mr. Wilson was a new man altogether and as there was a flaw in his qualification, he resigned. 117" 'I 1 matters arranged, and on Friday, another election took place. Messrs. Wilson, Kennedy and R. Staples being in the field. The fight was a bitter one and equalled in many respects any parlimen- tary election that has taken place in this vicinity for years. The roads were very heavy, but notwithstanding that fact the pushers worked like beavers and the total vote was a very large one. So widespread was the interest that people from Lindsay, Peterboro, Port Perry and Bowmanville cast ballots. Mr. Wilson was elected by a majority of 277 and to say that it was a surprise is putting it in the very mildest manner. The Victor’s majorities werezâ€"Janetville, 105; Brick’s Corners, 99; Bethany 65; Ballydufl‘, 37 and Lotus. 30. Mr. Ken- nedy was ahead 40 at Pontypool and 9 at Barnecott’s. Mr. Staples was surely like the man that was driving the hearse. He wasn’t in it. His total vote being expressed by the figure 2. It may be stated, however, that he had no intention or desire to run. The total vote cast was within a few of 600 and the winner received 138 more votes than were ever before cast for any candidate in the township. 'Bethany was the rallying point for the Wilson men and about. 6.30 when the full returns were in, the jubilee commenced and jubilee it was in earnest. 1,11 ‘1 A procession was formed headed by the Millbrook brass band. Then came the reeve elect. seated on a chair borne aloft on the heads and shoulders of half a dozen of his stalwart supporters and followed by eight or nine hundred cheer- ing and shouting sympathizers. Up and down the village they paraded, stopping to serenade Mrs. Porter Preston, who had come out during the afternoon and cast her ballot for Wilson, “just like a little man,” as a. bystangler put it. 116518 man, 85 u U’DIDLIUCI. yuv w.

McGuire, Lifl'ord; Wm. Hanna, Beth- any and Mr. Lavery ry, of Myrtle, father- in-law of Mr. Wilson and the reeve elect himself. The addresses warm as best they could. Mr. Geo. Staples, of Lifl'ord, was unanimously elected chairman and he discharged his, not very onerous duties. in an admirable manner. Congratulatory speeches, short, sharp and to the point were the order and among those who addressed the crowd were Messrs. Jas. fHobbs, Janet- ville; Dr. Leslie, Bethany; John Evans, Yelverton; J. Irwin, Po_n_typool; W. DUNDAS FLAVELLE BROS.IBR"19§,,§§°EE WILSON SWEEPS MANVERS.

We desire to congratulate the people of Manvers on securing such a representative man for reeve. They can rest satisfied that their interests will be safe and zealously guarded and as long as he is a member of the counties council, there will be no scarcity of material for warden. Shake “Jim.” New Hocsns.~â€"â€"Mr. Wm. Johns, a prominent Cartwright farmer. who also owns a. fine farm in Mauvers, a short distance from this place. is erecting a handsome, new brick dwelling which rumor says will be occupied by one of his sons and somebody else. . . . . . Mr. Jas Henry. on the island, is bringing in the material for a new brick house which will be commenced early in the spring. . . . . . Mr. S. J. Fox. of Lindsay supp ied the brick in each case.

He has banked a large number of telegraph poles, ties, posts etc., on Scugng Lake, preparatory to the spring drive. The cordwood will not be moved this winter. ELECTION FOR Ravenâ€"Excitement. ran high at J anetville on Friday last. election day. N early all the available horses and aleighs in this locality were in use drawing people, especially the ladies. to the polling place. Janetville almost to a man was in favor of Mr. Jae. H.
