The executive board is under instructions to submit the question of ad- ding a prohibition plan]: to the party’s Ontario platform. and the grand presi- dent, Mr. C A. Mallory. has just issued an order to the grand secretary Mr. Geo. Wrigley. to have the reference to the local branches made during November and December. this referendum to ‘be concluded before New :YeaAr’s day. â€"The Envlish and Scotch farming interests are urging the Board of Agricul- ture to further protect the home breeders against foreign and colonial live ctocki imports by prohibiting the lending of} cattle and sheep for slaughter, thus com- 1 pellimz Canada and the United States to: send nothing but dead meat. Seeing, however, that Great Britain has imported already this year 72,000 cattle and 56.000 sheep from Canada, and 308.000 cattle and 235,000 sheep from the United States, the board hesitates to adopt so decided a protective policy on the mere retext of risk of disease.“ Right Hon. alter H. L‘onq. the proficient at th‘ board. has, however. pledged the govern: menr to earnestly consider the‘giropouel to brand colonial and 4 ‘foreignineflt" store's. hoping thereby "to prejudice tbeconlumr against them. â€"The railroad scene in the “ Heart of Chicago,” which will be at the Academy of Music to-morrow evening, is one of the most complete efforts at realism ever put upon any stage. The engine is seen ad- vancing upon the audience for ten minn- tes. It grows from almost an inpercept- ible speck on the horizon to an almost full sized engine when it reaches the foot- lights. A portion of the efi'ecb is gained by a cleverly constructed illusion. It is impossible to detect where the illusion ends, and the engine as finally shown to the audience begins. I""' I‘. â€"â€"()n Tuesday afternoon there was a spooney couple on a G.T.R train going east. They were on their wedding tour. and spent half an hour at Toronto station hugging each other. A Kingstonian who was on the car with the couple from Kingston to C. rnwall ssys that by actual count the bride kissed her husband 21 times. and she was not abashed by the presence of 19 men in the car. She was the only woman. At Prescott the groom began to cry for some reason, and the bride wiped away his tears, and kissed him into a joyful mood. "â€"Mr. J. N. Shearer of the Huntsville public school sends the following correct solution of the coal oil question in THE WATCHMAN of last week: Fill the three gallon can, then empty it into the five; fill the three again, and from it finish filling the five. Now there is one gallon in the three gallon can. Empty what is in the five back into the eight; empty the one gallon that remains in the three gallon can into the five; fill the three again and empty it in the five. Now the five gallon can contains four gallons. ' â€"â€"'Deer shooting opens on Monday. Nov. 2nd, and closes on the 15th. The law will be enforced by the chief game warden as it never was before, and the chances are hunters will be confined strictly to two deer apiece. A communi- cation from Game Warden Tinsley will be found on page 3 of this issue, which among other things tells where licenses can be procured. â€"The millers in Manitoba are appar- ently‘ in a fix. They bought quantities of wheat at t0p prices, and the change in the market, which has declined Go to 10c has had a demoralizing effect on prices of flour. To do any business at all they have to lower prizes. â€"-.The G.T.R, have made new arrange- ments regardingr the shippingofbodies over their road. Hereafter the usual doctor’s certificate will have to be accompanied by a permit from the local board of health. endorsed by the baggage master. This regulation his been adopted with a view to greater public safety in the transporta- tion of corpses and to prevent the pos- sibility'of bodies in which death was caus- ed by infection from being carried to outward points without certain provisions being made. â€"Dr. Tanner. who gained notoriety some years ago by his public attempts at fasting. was burned to death at Akron,- Ohio, the other day. His correct name was Francis Harrison. â€"-The annual G.T.R. ball which is looked forward to with so much interest by trippers of the light fantastic, will take place December next, and prepara- tions for the event are already being made.

There is from two to eight acres cleared on each parcel and the balance is timbered thh maple. beech. black birchâ€"the latter very valua- ableâ€"hemlocks etc. This is the best chance ever ofl'ered tenants to become prpo- prietors. or for farmers to purchase land cheap for their sons. The terms are one- third or one-fourth cash, or approved joint note at three months, balance on easy terms at six per cent. By buying a hunters’ ticket you can get to Emsdale and return for single fare. s â€"-The spectacle of a postmaster being charged with unlawfully retaining $5 from a poor woman was witnessed in Magistrate Ellis’ court in Toronto the other day. 0. W. Hughes is postmaster at Humber Bay. He also runs‘a' grocery store. Among his debtors is a man named Reynolds, who has been out of employment a great deal of into: His wife, Mrs. Kate Reynolds, however, 'kept the house going, ted and clothed six children by taking washing and doing other work. Last Saturday evening she sent one of her children to Hughes’ store with a $5 bill for groceries. Hughes retained the money, saying it was the interest on the money which Reynolds owed him for goods bought. He was not allowed to keep it long. He was charged with . unlawful retaining money and subpoenas were served upon FthOse who had' given Mrs. ‘ Pwylmlvls employment. Postmaster Hughes seeing the storm he had provoked backed‘do'an returned the money and paid all the costs of the prosecution. The case was with- drawn. -â€"The annual meeting of the Lindsay branch Bible Society was held Friday evening in the Cambridge-st. Methodist church, Judge Dean presiding. The at- tendance was small. An able address was given by Rev. B. Bryan, the agent of the society. It was interesting and instructive. The following are the oflicers of Lindsay branch for the ensuing year: President, his honor Judge Dean; sec., W. M. Fla- velle; trees, J. H. Knight; depositor. R. S. Porter; church directors, Sheriff Mc- Lennan, E. E. W. McGafl'ey. W. Thus- ton, E. Bowes, R. Kennedy. â€"The Provincial Board of Health has decided that many of the alleged “summer resorts” are hotbeds of disease owing to lack of proper sanitation. In many of these resorts the water is fouled by sewage and an outbreak of typhoid fever was traced to the bathers swallowing the water. The plumbing at nearly all these resorts is of the crudest description and the sanitation arrangements unspeakably bad. The primitive kitchen sink was found to be the worst source of contag- ion. â€"â€"Some people are very careless about the manner in which they send money by mail. A registered letter was received at the poetofiice the other day containing a 20-dollar gold piece. The envelope was not of the best quality. and as the letter came from the States the coin had about forced its way through by the time it reached its destination. Had it even been carefully folded in paper before being placed in the envelope it would have come through in better shape. However it was safe once it reached the Canadian lines. â€"About ten days ago the editor of the Mitchell Recorder sent seven samples of apples to Professor Craig, of the Ex peri- mental Farm, Ottawa, for identification. He was unable to place a single one of them. The amusing part of it is that two of the samples took prizes at the fall show at Mitchell, entered in old and well known classes. The judges in this case apparently knew more than the profess- ional expert. â€"We have eight confectionery stores and restaurants in town, and strange to say all are on the south side of Kent-st. For some reason this class of business does not seem to succeed in the cold and barren north. On the other hand, how- ever, alth Jugh Lindsav is well supplied with shoe stores, there is not one on the south side. In other lines of business the honors are fairly evenly divided. â€"Mr. A. Primeau, “the Lindsay apple king,” purchased over 200 barrels of apples from farmers around J auetville, Valentin, Mount: Horeb, and on Hogan’s Island last Week. He has already pur- chased nearly 600 barrels of first-class apples this season, and the end is not yet. Last season be secured over 700 barrels. â€"All pigeons have been abolished from the town of West Cashohocken, Pa... on the ground that they are a menace to pub- lic health. The town is suffering from an outbreak of scarlet fever, and the local medical meb blame it on the pigeons. Of course they had to blame it on something. â€"Owing to a change made by the own- ers of the Lindsay waterworks Mr. F. K. Begbie will continue here as manager, instead of removing to Cobourg, as was expected. We are pleased to hear of this, as it would be hard to secure a. more popular or efficient manager. ' -â€"Messrs. Wm. C. Wilson Co. of Toronto, dealers in steamboat and mill supplies, have rented No. 6 William-st, and will occupy it about Nou. 13:. The firm alreauy has a very large connection in this section and to the north. â€"Miss Armstrong of Walkerbon. Ont, recently entered action against a Mr. Dickinson for breach of promise, and an intelligent jury has just awarded her $750 as balm for a lacerated heart. â€"A Sunderland lady writes : Dr. Neelands that he made her a successful fit: after having eight sets of teeth made in Toronto and elsewhere.-17-tf. â€"E. WILLIAMSON has something nice to ofi'er in fine photos for the next.- few weeks. Studio, foot of Kent-st.â€"-40. â€"A stray cow on the track about a mile east of Grasshill refused to give the right of-way to Conductor Jobbitt’s special on Monday night. Engineer Nursey created all the alarm necessary with whistle ard bell, but all to no effect. Fortumtely the animal was struck just right and was thrown clear of the track on the north side, where she must have died almost in- stant-1y. It is now a criminal offence to let cattle run at large within half-a-mile of any railway crossing, and when the danger to valuable lives and property is considered, it should be strictly enforced. â€"-A teacher in one of the Toronto public schools, while endeavoring to im- press upon the youthful mind the many virtues of a mother, generalizing, asked : "What it is that makes mother’s face so beautiful ?” One little fellow, on stretch- ing his arm a little higher up than the other, was called up to answer. “Pow- er,” said be, which solution certainly had the effect of an explosion upon the older members of the class. â€"Mr. John Campbell, of Fairview farm, the popular breeder of shropshire sheep, has introduced a new idea this fall that many farmers could adopt with bene- fit to their farms and profit to themselves. He has no less than five yards in which he herds his prizetwinning sheep every night, and in order to save his straw he sends men out to the adjacent woods with wagons in which they gather leaves with which to litter the pens. Once a week these pens are cleaned out and the litter is removed to the manure heap where it rots and furnishes a high-class fertilizer. We would like to hear of more farmers adopting this plan. The leaves are easily gathered with a rake and can be loaded with a barley fork. â€"Mr. Wm. Flavelle has purchased County Treasurer Matchett’s fine, resi- dence at the north end of Cambridge‘stu and will occupy it in due time. The price paid, we understand, was $4,000. This is one of the finest residences in Lindsay, high and dry, and commands a view of the whole town. -The travelling public will be pleased to learn the Messrs. Boyd purpose replac- ing the Esturion between Lindsay and Bobcajgeon with a new and handsome steamer after this season. The firm have already secured a fine model for the new steamer, which will. be built at Bob- caygeon this winter and be ready to be put on the route with the opening of navagation next spring. She is designed to average fourteen miles an hour. and will draw about eighweu inches of water. The material for the new craft is now almost ready. It is pleasing to note that the trafic on these waters warrants the construction of such a fine liner. The new steamer, it is understood. will be a trifle larger than the Esturion, and Will be an up-to-date vessel in every particular. Her light draught will enable her to land at the upper wharf with ease and safety. Capt. Maurice Lane. who has been so popular with tourists since he assumed command of the. Esturiun, will of 01-11118 command the new teamel. while Pu'ser Dyment will look after the ricke's anrl lother etcetras. The boat would refuse to {leave the docs unless these two favorites wereonboard. â€"The hog cholera continues to spread in Essex county in the vicinity of Am- heretburg. One farmer had eighty of his hogs killed by order of the government in order to prevent the plague spreading. Two colored boys have died from the effects of having eaten some of the deceas- ed meat. â€"The lad; True Blues will hold their ‘Annual “At Home” in their rooms, Black- well’s biock, on November 5th. These gatherings are of the most enjoyable and social character, and are looked forward to with much interest. A capital program is now being prepared. â€"Mr. Geo. W. Johnston, representing the S. I. Wilson Lumber Co. of Toronto, visited Lindsay last week and purchased two cars of ash and basswood lumber from Mr. J‘. Carew of the Lindeay Lumber Mills, and one car lot from Mesysrs. Ken- nedy, Davis 395 Son. â€"One family man in town, who haehad difficulty in obtaining suitable domestic help for six weeks back. says he could place twenty-five girls in situations if he had them. He declines to go into the business. however. â€"â€"Mr. Robt. Bryans purchased a. car- load of shingles from Mr. J. Carew fhis week, which are being shipped to the Boston market. The hammock has been put away, And the parlor easy chair Begins to creek and wobble and Show signs of wear and bear. ‘ -â€"Mr. AJex.
