MARIPOSA. IIB KENT-ST- LINDSAY Tm: NARROWS IMPASSIBLE.â€"-Cflptain Johnson was asked this week about how the lownese of the water would effect navigation next year. He said that if it did not rise there would be very little navigation. When the Islay came through the Narrows a month ago. although light, she had to slow her engines right down and then she dragged all the may through. “It would have been impossible for her to have come through had she been carrying a few passengers,” said Capt. Johnson. He is satisfied that the Narrows could not now be navigated by either the Isle): or Long- g-__l I'Y_Ih,, AL , _ uv..n ford.

The pictures are extremelv life-like. and every face is brought our clear and perfect. The pictures are much admired by teacher and pupils. Mr. Year-slay has taken quite 3 number of photos and groups during the past summer, and this work shows that he has more than the average taste and ability for photography. He left for Port Hope this week, but upon his return next spring we all hope that he will not leave his photograph outfit behind him. ‘ CONCERT.â€"There is talk of giving a grand concert under the auspices of the I. 0.0.F. of this village, and we hope the rumor is true. It will be a first-class one or none at all. The Oddiellows don’t do anything in a half-hearted way, and if they decide to give an entertainment the public can rely on i the best evening’s amusement that has ever been given in this village. a wife a. girl who he knew, )r even suspected to have soiled her self respect by secretly intriguing with str- angers, whose only object would be to work her ruin. The very mystery of such conduct leaves any girl open to just suspicion. Of course it is quite possible that Consuelo and Vera are young men who wish to make sport for themselves at the eXpense of sensualisrs who might “bite” under the impression that they are answering the adv. of some foolish girls, and who will get shown up later on as having been victimized themselv- es. Such things happened before. UDDPELLOWSHIP.â€"The I.O.U.F.. we believe, have come to stay in our town, and why not? There should be a grand field here for a. lodge of Oddfellcws started on the right basis, and we are glad to notice that the lodge is comp )sed cf just the stamp of men thatwill make a success of anything they undertake. We under- stand they number between 25 and 30 now, and are “initiating” one or two members at every meeting. Success boys â€"-we say the I.0.0.F. is a grand institu- tion and are doing a noble work all over the land. Your lodge will have only an influence for good in our midst, and we strongly advise our young men especially to join with you. We wish you every prosperity. Special to the Watchman. ONTARIO COUNTY ‘ IT VVASEVER THUSâ€"TWO Cedar Dale giris‘ under the assumed I): ' .cs of Conseulo and Vera, are advert; .ng in the Toronto News f0r gentlemen who wish to establish a cladestinezflirt with girl. \Ve have no doubt that the adv. will prove a highly successful venture, as there are hundreds of young men, who willjump at ths chance of mixing in with such girls as Consuelo and Vera. The majority of young men are built. that way Our code of morals does not seem to “lost” young men outside of society, the sameas it does young wom en,a.nd thusthere are hundredsof young men who risk nothing mix-regularities with foolish girls; but in nearly every case the latter have cause to repent it as long as they live.

A sale of 10,000 barrels of Canadisn and American {apples tgok pljee in London on the 26th Mr. Callahan did not speak to Mr. Rob- inson, the to but Rev. W.R. Barker, the pastor of the church. Mr. Barker con- sidered it his duty to state thefact to Mr. Robinson. Mr. Robinson is an adherent of the Methodist church; so is Mr. Callahan. The latter thought he knew something concerning Miss McDonald which her prospective husband should know. He had been foreman of the Grand Jury at Whitby. before which, ten; years ago. Hannah McDonald had been indicted for killing her infant. She denied all knowledge of the child, which was alleged to have been her own. The Grand Jury threw out the bill, as it wished to spare the young women the further disgrace of a trial unless the most convmcmz proofs were forthcoming. ‘ Mr. Robinson who is nightwatch at Tud- hope’s, is a widower with two bright little daughters, and an exceedingly popular man among his acquaintances. He lives at the corner of Victoria and Albert streets in his own house. About three weeks ago be secured Miss McDonald as his house keeper. and he was so fov- orably impressed with her domestic virtue, that he proposed marriage on Saturday, November 16th. His proposal was accept- ed and arrangements for the ceremony were commenced. Mr. Robinson even seeing about the license. He knew noth- ing about his prospective bride whatever. When she had come to him as house- keeper, she had brought references as to her good character, which satisfied Mr. Robinson. The lady has lived in Orillia and Beaverton during the past three years, she said before having lived at Whit-by: A week ago Saturday, says the News- Letter, Samuel B. Robinson and Hannah McDonald of Orillia decided to wed, and they then decided the wedding would take place some day last week. But they were not married. Up to a cetain point Mr. Robinsonzwas willing. Miss McDon- ald blames it on unwarrantable interfer- ence on the part of outsiders. Opinions differ as to this. At any rate she has instructed Mr R.D. Gunn to get unstat ml damages from Mr. Alfred Callahan,of Ml. Grennan’s establishment. THE REVIVAL SERVICES which have been held during the past six weeks in the Methodist church have come to a close. Great success has been achieved. PERSONALâ€"Mr. Ed. Gordon, who for the past few months has been in the North-wean, has returned. Ned looks hale and hearty. RESL’MED.-â€"Mr. Woollard has again resumrd the bench. and is prepared to givg satisfaction to‘allwho gwe him a call. 7 ANNIVERSARY SERVICES were held in St. John's church on Sunday. Rev Mr. Reed, of Otonabee, occupied the pulpit both morning and evening. and preached two very etfective sermons. Mr. Reed is only a young man. but he showed marked ability in the preparation and deliv'ery of his discourses.

OUR CHEESE Fitmentâ€"On Friday last a. meeting of the patrons of the Duns- ford cheese factorv was held in the old Methodist church for the purpose of settling up the accounts for the past sea- son. A large number of friends were invited to attend and help eat of the good things which were provided by Mr. Ed. Thurston. proprietor of the factory and the ladies of the community, in the shape of a good oyster supper. After everybody had satisfied the inner men, the report of the see-tress. was given, which was followed by speeches by Mr. Thos. Robert-son, president of the Lind- sao cheese board. Mr. John Lewis (Scotch Line) and Mr. Ed. Woollard, of this village, and Mr. Ed. Thurston. The. meeting broke up after the usual Votes of ‘ thanks had been unanimously carried, the people going home Well satisfied with the evening’s fun and supper, your humble servant included. The annual report was presented and read. The total receipts were $4,080 44, and expenses $1,310.51, ‘ leaving a balance to patrons of $3,363 93. f A WIND STORMâ€"Tuesday’s wind and rain storm was rather an unusual thing. The warm gale from the south speedily reduced the font or two of snow which had fallen on Friday, Saturday and Men- day, and had not the weather turned Colder on Tuesday afternoon the slush would also have gone. The gale com- menced early Tuesday morninO. It blew down fences on all the roads leading into Orillia and knocked down several fences and trees in town--â€"News-Letter.

Tuesday he was passing through the front entrance of the store when a gust of wind slammed the door, which closed with terrific force on the fingers of his left hand. An idea of the force of the blow may be guessed from the fact that a heavy gold ring on his third finger was broken and the stone shattered in many pieces. The flesh on the knuckles was badly lacerated. next summer, by water.
