Th e...’ Wonderful Cheap AI an @mmgmwéfl AN EXCHANGE says “ the town of of L nds+y is in the race for manufac- turers and cheap power.” That is correct. No town in Canada appre. ciazea manufacturers more, or me: them better than Lindsay. ‘We are dive to“~'heir requirements and difficulties, and are making efiforts to Drovde them the best possible condi- 'ions.

The reserved decisions. adjournments and other denying with petty cases that we. sometimes see, stand in striking contrast to the promptness and despa‘ch cf city magistrates.

These animals are starved, whipped enj exposed in a scandalous fashion, and their appear- mce is s reproach to the street. With hay and oats at the present prices, there is no excuse for such constant suggestions of the bone-yard.

Not much better show, in its class. could be seen. Its object was mainly to make people laugh and in that respect was a great success. The situations and dialogues were always comical and at times exceedingly so. The singing for the most part was capital. Some very difficult feats of balancing deserved the reception they got. The closing tableau of an approaching warship was a vexy effective production. An occasional bid for gallery applause only served to put the audience on 'e s gaud terms with their female entertainers. Yesterday morning John E. Harding, the newly-appointed junior judge of Victoria county, was formally welcomed by the members of the local bar. Members of the county council and other county officials were also present. The following members of the legal faternity were in attendance. His honor judge Dan. John McSweyn, pres. of the law meiety, A. P. Devlin, county attorney and Messrs. F. D Moore, H. O’Leary, R. J. Mc- Laughlin, Alex. Jackson. Thos. Stewart, D. R. Anderson, Wm. Steers. F. A. McDiarmid, L V. O’Connor, M. Kennedy, I. E. Weldon, N. McMurchy and C. E. Weeks of Wood- ville. President McSweyn delivered the addra: of welcome in an extremely happy fashion. Mr. Devlin followed briefly and judge Harding rose to reply. He expressed pleasure at hearing such hearty words of wel- come; assured the assembly that his first impressions both of the appearance of Victoria county and the character of its legal talent were highly satis‘actory; and anticipated the most pleasant and cordial relations with every membtrofthe bar in discharging his dutiesl His Honor Judge Dean made a chsracteriiticl Difierent people have different ideas of what a. newspaper is for. Some of those ideas are very complimentary to a publisher, while others give him a high opinion. neither of himself, his calling nor the person who enter- tains such ideas. The following communica- tion fills us with the latter humiliating senti- ments : SIR,â€"That what’s the matter. Why can’t our council pass a by-law to impound hens? They are much more of a nuisance than cattle and worse than pigs for scratching in your garden. As soon as the bed is made your neighbors’ hens come straight. and crooked too, under the fence and over the gate, and seem to delight in undoing the work that has been done. If the council could be held responsible for the profanity used, I think none of them would ever get to heaven. Really, Mr. Editor, I want you to use your powerful pressure to pass a hen by-law. ANTI-HEN. The above is published merely as an example of the sort of matenal that finds its way into a newspaper ofiiee. In this case the writer is apparently a. resident of Lindsaw', but when some of our country correspondents read it they will probably be able to see how foolish such things sound and save us a good deal of trouble, both in cutting their items and explain- ing to offended subscribers. “ Will you kindly publish the following lines in your paper. In doing so you will greatly oblige the undersigned. We don’t know whether the dark young man of Kent-st. west who held the umbrella so closely over his young lady’s face on Victoria-ave. last Sunday evening, was afraid of the piercing ray of the electric light or some other divining power, but we trust that in the future if he doesn’t want either of their faces seen to avoid public thoroughfares and keep further north. “ ONE WHO SAW.” :peech, Full of wit and wisdom. The "good old days” of twenty-five years ago were badly remembered and incidents of the inter- vening period related to illustrate his bonor’s -xperienoe as judge during that period.
