Last Friday night was the occasion of an informal meeting of the Town Council to considera proposal by Mr. B. Freeman, travelling manager of the Mofl'ett, Hodge- kins and Clark water works company, of Watertown, N. Y. After a short discuss- ion on the proposed railway extension from Irondale to Ottawa, by Mr. Barron M. P. and others, the Mayor called upon Mr. Freeman to address the meeting con- sisting of the council and leading business men of the town. He referred to his last visrt to this town when he made a number of examinations of the different sources of water sup ly and finally decided upon taking it rom a point on Scugog River above theicemetery. He maintains that only a limited supply can be obtained from the proposed wells which only furnish enough to fill a 3 inch main whereas it requires a sufficient quantity to fill a12 inch main in order to meet the future demands of the town. He also holds that the wells are objectionable owing to their central position in town. ,u- -L - _.-_..._ 1.-.--- UDuULuL yv~---'.. _-_ _ - He proposes to construct a pum house for the accomodation of two horse power boilers and two Worthington steam pum s of 1:; million gallons capacity each per ay and provide a home for the en- ineer in charge of the pump house; to lay miles of pipe with 70 h drants to cover the principa portion of t e town of Lind~ say extending and terminiating in a circular stand pipe upwards of one hundred feet in height and 16 feet in diamater made of boiler Elate iron to be located some- where at t e west end of Kent Street near the Collegiate Institute.

A gentleman in the north ward has fallen heir to a discovery which may en- able him to dispense with the ordmary garden roller in future. Having raked and re-raked the beds until they .were as level as a. board, the stable door was left unlocked, and a favorite horse during the watches of the night calmly walked out and rolled himself upon those beds until they presented the appearance of a. pic- ture upon a large horse-bill. A neigh- bor’s garden was also worked at the same time. It is now being seriously consider- ed the pptenting of a new garden roller. On Monday evening last, the Young People‘s Circle, Sunday school teachers and choir of St. Andrew's church met at the residence of Mr. Jackson for the pur- pose of saying farewell to Mr. R. M. Anderson, Who has been an active and zealous worker for the welfare of St. Andrew’s. During the evening Mr. Murdoch in a short but pointed address presented Mr. Anderson with a beautiful silver tankard and goblet, 18 inches high. Mr. Anderson, taken complete by surprise, made a. suitable reply. Messrs. Jackson. McLennan, and Utley also made short speeches. The evening was spent in songs, games, c., and was a most enjoyâ€" able one. ' >- , Brechin Mineral Water for sale at Higinbotham's drug store-I R. SIMMONS Go.
