Mavelle took .a small stick to warm up a saw, or steady it into a true motion, when the force of the saw drew the stick into the saw blade, and Mavelle, losing his balance fell on the saw platform and had the ends of his left fingers taken off. Again he slipped and went head-first on the front of the saw, which this time took the scalp off the back of his head and cut a gash eight inches into the right shoulder. severing the spinal column and spinal cord and cutting into the lung. Mavelle lived an hour and a half, and was conscious most of the time. his leaves a widow and six children.” The victim of the above terrible accident was head sawyer in Howry Sons’ mill and was to have held the same position this season. During his short residence at the Falls he made many friends, who will hear of his tragic end with much regret.â€"Gazotte. " For God and Home and Native Land. A Bueatiful Voice Spoiled. ‘My ambition at one time.’ said George Du Msurier, the noted English artist re- cently to a correspondent of ‘McClure’s Magazine.’ ‘was to go in for music and singing, but my father objected very strongly to this wish of mine, and invari- ably discouraged it. My father, I must tell you, possessed himself the sweetest, most beautiful voice that I have ever heard, and if he had taken up singing as a profession would most certainly have been the greatest singer of his time. We were all musical in our family. I was at that time crazy about music, and used to practice my voice wherever and whenever I could, even on the tops of omnibuses. But my father always discouraged me. I remember one night we were crossing Smithfield market together, and I was talking to my father about music. “I am sure that I could become a singer."

Incuossuâ€"The lacrosse club met on Monday evening at the Royal Hotel when the matter of re-organizing was taken into consideration. They are yet undecided whether to enter the championship league or not. The team are not in as good shape as last vear, having lost all clothing etc. in the Eldon House fire, and which to replace means quite a. large outlay of money. Some of the players are in favor of withdrawing from the senior league and entering into an arrangement with Orillia juniors and others. After consid- erable discussion it was decided to hold another meeting on Monday evening to decide what shall be done. The follow- ing were elected oflicers.â€"Hon.

Axo'rm Can Wannaâ€"We went to Lindsay last Saturday by train, and and thecar accommodation so insufficient hat some of the passengers had to stand, although several of the seats had each three occupants. This is the case nearly every fine Saturday. and causes so . much dissatisfaction and grumbling that it is to be hoped an extra car will henceforth,on “ market days,” he added to the train, It would cost the company very little, but would save many of the passengers a great deal of inconvenience and discomfort. A FALSE Bureauâ€"On Friday last, there was a rumor in the Falls to the eflect that sixteen men in the employ of the Gilmour Co., had been either crushed to dear h or knocked into the water and drowned by the sudden breaking .up.of a dump of logs somewhere m the Vicinity of Dorset. As the rumour was current in Ilaliburt-in when the train left it was fearel here it might be true, and as'sever- al residents of the Falls and its Vicmity were working for the Gilmours, their relulin-S and acquaintances naturally felt very uneisy; but, happily. there appears to have been no foundation for the start- ling stnry, and,as far as we can learn; no one knows where or by whom it Was originated . .

Let me show you how to sing it.” And then as there rang out a note of music low and sweet at the outSet, and swelling as it went, till it seemed to fill all Smithfield with divine melody. I can never forget that scene, never ; the dark night, the lonely place, and that wave of the swee'est sound that my ears have ever heard. Some time later my father relented and gave me a few music lessons. I Won him over by showing him adrawing which I had pro- duced in Williamson’s class-room, in which I was represented bowing grace- fully in acknowledgment of the applause of an audience whom I had electrified with my musical talents. Music has always been a great delight to me, ..'.d until re- cently I Could sing well.

The grain which fattens the brewer’s horse does not go to feed the drunkard’ family.â€"‘Con- stitution.’ Cl'thr-w Look Out For the Young Chicks the First Ten Days. The proper housing for young chicks has much to do with their future. A greater loss is sustained with the chicks for the first week than at any other pe- riod, says Farm and Orchard. If they can be protected during the first ten days, the chances are greater for early maturing and healthy chicks. There is everything in keeping the chicks warm and dry for the first two weeks. When hatched, their temperature is 100 de- grees, and this should be limited as far as possible. When the ban and chicks are allowed to run at large in the early spring, the latter become chilled, and bad results follow. In the construction of the map, dryness and warmth should be the first consideration, the roof to be water tight and the floor of the coop raised from the ground. A dry and well drained place should be selected for the coops; to avoid damp- ness and chill. It is advisable to keep them under a shed, to protect them from the driving rains of early spring. Chicks should be confined until the sun is well up and the chill of early mom is over. Keep everything clean and change the location of coops frequently. Never al- low filth to accumulate on the floor. as it breeds vermin and disease to the young- sters. Dust insect powder on the hen and brood and in the cracks and crevices to prevent lice. Perhaps it. is a better plan in building scope to have the runs, attached. There are many advantages to such coups.

We assert as our fundamental principle the self-evident truth enunciated in the Declaration of Indepenence, that all men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator With certain inalienable rights. We hold that all men are equally en- titled to the use and enjoyment of what God has created and of what is gained by the general growth and iinprowment of the community of which they are a part. Therefore, no one should be permitted to hold natural opportunities without a fair return to all for any special privilege thus accorded to him, and value which the growth and improvements of the community attach to land should be taken for the use of the community. We hold that each man is entitled to all that his labor produces, Therefore no tax should be levied on the products of labor. To carry out these principles we are in favor of raising all public revenues for national, state, county and municipal pur- poses by a single-tax upon land values, irrespective of improvements, and of the abolition of all forms of direct and indi- rect taxation. Since in all our states we now levy some tax on the value of land, the single- tax can be instituted by the simple and easy way of abolishing, one after another, all other taxes now levied, and commen- surately increasing the tax on land values, until we draw upon that one source of all expenses of government, the revenue be- ing divided between local governments, state governments and the general govern. ment, as the revenue from direct taxes is now divided between the local and state governments; or, a direct assessment be- ing made by the general government up- on the states and paid by them from the revenues collected in this manner. The single-tax we propose is not a tax on land, and therefore would not fall on the use of land and become a tax on labor. It is a tax, not on land, but on the value of land. Thus it would not fall on all land, but only on valuable land, and on that not in proportion to the use made of it, but in proportion to its Valueâ€"the premium which the user of land must pay to the owner, either in purchase inoney or rent, for permission to use Valuable land. It would thus be a tax, not on the use and improvements of land, but on the ownership of land, taking what would otherwise go to the owner as owner, and not as user. In assessments under the single-tax all valuescreated by individual use or im- provement would be excluded, and the only value taken into consideration would be the value attaching to the bare land by reason of neighborhood etc., to be de- termined by impartial periodical assess- ments. Thus the farmer would have no more taxes to pay than the speculator who held a Similar piece of land idle, and the man who on a city lot, erected a valu- able building would be taxed no more than the man who held a similar lot vacant. The single-tax, in short, would call upon men to contribute to the public revenues, not in proportion to what they produce or accumulate, but in proportion to the value of the natural Opportuities they hold. It would compel them to pay just as much for holding land idle as for putting it to its fullest use. The single-tax, therefore, would 1. Take the weight of taxation on the agricultural districts, where land has little or no value irrespective of improve- ments, and put it on towns and cities, where bare land rates to a value of millions of dollars per acre. 2. Dispense with a multiplicity of taxes anda horde of tax-gatherers, simplify government and greatly reduce its cost. 3. Do away with the fraud, corruption and gross inequality inseparable form our present method of taxation, which allow the rich to escape while they grind the poor. Land can not be bid or carried off, and. its value can be ascertained with greater ease and cer- tainty than any other. 4, Give us, with all the world, as per- fect freedom of trade as now exists be- tween the states of the union, thus enabling our people in share, through free exohanges in all the advantage which nature has given to other coun- tries, or which the peculiar skill of other people has enabled them to attain. It would destroy the trusts, monopolies and corruptions which are the outgrowths of the tariff. It would do away with the fines and penalties now levied on anyone who improves a farm, erects a house. buildsa machine. or in any way adds to the general stock of wealth. It would leave everyone free to apply labor or expend capital in production or exchange without fine or restriction, and would leave to each the full produce of his exertion. 5 It would, on the other hand, by tak.ng for public use that value that attaches to land by reason of the growth and improvement of the com- munity, make the holding of land un- profitable to the mere owner, and pro- fitable only to the user. It would thus make it impossible for speculators and monopolists to hold natural oppor- tunities unused or onlyhalt used. and would throw open to labor the illimitr able field of employment which the oarthinfi‘ers to man.

ORIGmUNDAY. Mr. Gladstone Explains the Christian Change or the Sabbath. “The opinion which required a". at Sabbatarlan strictness, has in all likeliâ€" hood been largely cons qucnt upon the reformation, and, without much critical investigation of the case, has rested practically upon the fourth command- merit of tho decalogue as it stands. It did not, however, arise at once out of the great movement, even in Sconand, where it eventually attained a pitch at rigor and exhibiteda tenacity of life probably greater than in any other Chris- tian country," writes W. E. Gladstone in McClure's Magazine. “11 We measure things not as they are divinely intend- ed, nor as they are in themselves, but as they are subjectively entertained, it might be a question whether the Scot- tish Sabbath was not for 200 years a greater Christian sacramctt, a larger, more vital and more influential tact in the Christianity of the country, than the annual or sometimes semi-annual, celebration of the Lord's Supper, or the initiatory rite of baptism, or both to- gether. I remember that when half a centur ago ships were dispatched from Scottie ports to South Australia, then in its infancy, laden with well-organiz. ed companies of emigrants, I read in the published account of one of them that perfect religious toleration was es- tablished as the rule on board, but that with regard to a fundamental article of religion like the Sabbath, every one ovas, of course, required to observe it. Many anecdotes might be rivcn which illustrate the same i eaâ€" an idea open to criticism. but one with which the Presbyterian church cannot well afford to part without some risk to the public power and general influence of religion. The seventh day of the week hasbeen deposed from its title to obligatory re- ligious observance, and its perogativc has been carried over to the first: under no direct precept of Scripture. but yet with a biblical record of facts, all sup- plied by St. John, which far toward showing that among the apostles thcui- selves, and therezore from apostolic times, the practice of divine worship on the Lord’s Day has been continuously and firmly established. T112: Christianâ€" ity took upon itself to alter the lorm of the Jewish ordinance ; but this was its spiritual purpose. ‘ The seventh day had been ordained as the most appro- priate, according to [he decaloguc, for commemorating the old creation. The advent of our Lord introduced us to a chain of events. by which alone the benefits of the old creation Wcre Secur- oil to us, together with the yet higher benefits of the new. The Series of these events culminated in the resur- rection. \Vith the resurrection l}‘;gan for the Saviour Himself a rest from all that was painful in the process of re- demption, as on the seventh day ti)’:re had begun a rest from the constructive labors that had brou ht the visible world into existence on maturity. The schnth day was the festival of the old life. accompanied with an ex- emption from its divinely-appointed burdens. The first day was the festival of the new life, and was crowned with its constant and joyous exercise. The ordinances of joint worship exhibit one particular form of that exercise. The act of the church of Christian community in altering the day was founded on this broad and solid :‘ :ialogy; and was also, as has been said, warranted by the evidence of apostolic practice.
