Mr. Cutting said that the general principle of landscape gardening is to develop the beauties of.nature. and also develop new beauties. and adornments. To apply these prin- ciples one must appreciate the beau- tiful in nature; then their praCtical as well as their aesthetic worth must be considered. In a landscape the most important consideration is the laWn, and as it 'is a permanent feature, particular care should be excercised in the first steps of pre- paration. Mr. Chambers was in the chair and introduced the speaker. We may now look for some keen competition for the board of trade piizes for well kept lawns by the inembers of the Horticultural society. At the meeting on Tuesday night in the council chamber the members heard a. very instructive talk on “Making and Keeping Lawns." by Mr. A. B. Cutting, of Guelph, who is a specialist ii’land- scape gardening THE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY GETS POINTERS 0N LAWNS on theghead was given while the man. was standing, and the lower cut. after he had fallen. There were no marks on the body to show that there had been a struggle. The blood was only in one place on the ground. The blow must have been delivered from the right side, which would Show that the man who struck the blow was left. handed. One could not inflict such a wound Dr. Jolin F. Ross held the post- mortem about 27 hours after death occurred. He believed the upper cut. Margaret Dillon, the wife of Wm. Dillon, testified that she came home about 2 o’clock in the afternoon and her husband told her that he knew nothing about how Miller met his death. He always seemed friend- ly with Millar. Rose Whalen _also testified that she had no knowledge of trouble between the two men, nor heard any threats. "I never knew Dillon to have any ill feeling towards Millar. Dillon stayed in the house. while I went away to arouse the neighbors, Whenever anyone asked Dillon what happened, he said he knew nothing about it.” "I called Mr. Dillon, 'who I left in the house beforegoing to the ‘barn. He came to the kitchen door and I asked him what happened to this man. He said ‘He must have cut himself with the‘axe.’ He took two or three steps towards Millar and stood and looked at him for about a second, then turned away and went into the house. It was before he looked at the body . that he said he must have cut himself with the axe. I came into the house and got a horse blanket and put over the body. Then going in again, ,I asked_Dillon if they had a row. He said 'No.’ I said, 'I! you have done that it will go hard with you.’ He answered, ‘I never did it.‘ Mr. A. B. Culling of Guelph, gives an instructive lecture on the Flaming, Making, and Managing Grounds Mr. Wm. McNulty, on whose farm the affair occurred. testified as fol- lows: “On the morning of April 18 I left the deceased cutting wood in the yard. No one was with him. 1 went. to the barn to feed the pigs. and during‘the time I was away I heard no noise of ,1 row taking! place. I was away ten minutes. When I came back I saw him lying in the yard. I thought he had taken a fainting spell, and coming; near to help him up, I saw gash-2s in his neck and head and blood upon his head and face. I turned him over a little and tried to arouse him. but he never moved or breathed. No one.“ was in sight. | "That, Henry Millar came to his death from Wounds caused by an! axe, and the jury is of the opinion that the wounds were inflicted by Wm.

Other points were also discussed The yellow willow and Lombardy poplar will propagate by cuttings if the soil is .wet enoglgh. Early flowering plants should not. be pruned before flowering. The ex- perience at Guelph is that Boston iVy will not thrive.in this climate. The best native forest trow make the best shade trees for streets and lawns; and the cleanest should be selected for streets:- He thinks it best not to leave clippings on lawns. and when seeding is done in making a. lawn, the grass should be allowed to grow long be- fore mowing the first. time, then it should be kept short. .’ In discussion it was advised that no grass will thrive under shade trees; dandelions are very difficult to root out, particularly in Lindsay,- bare spots appearing in spring should be neseeded or remade ; grass killed .by ice\must be renewed the make a. lawn is in the fall, for; then it has time to settle in winter and the defects may be attended to in the spring. But they may be suc- cessfully prepared in the spring. The surtace soil should be made as fine as possible, taking out all lumps and stones. The permanent. sod de- pends on this. The actual turf may be produced either by sodding or seeding. The sod should have the best kind of grass obtainable. and the seed gused should be the best. Mr. Cutting recommended a mixture of Kentucky blue grass, red top. and white clover, in proportion of one pound each of the grass seeds and one-half pound of clover seed. necessary to use what is at hand. but. the ideal material is a xich loamy soil. Most lawn games are sqrface feeders and More the top dressing should be 0! the best. char- acter.

It was but a short, timew ago that. Dillon was broughtbemre a magistrate on a charge of insanity, but. owing to prim. tics] way. Dillon has been placed 7 under arrest. The oqu motive that. can be as- signed is anger on the part of lhllon, whothought that. Miller intended to was lying dead beside a log. and the ground aboutuwas deluged with the blood that.had new“; from a bad wouhd in the bean. Dillon was no- where to be seen. It is supposedjhc two men had quarrclled. A man named Mcxulty, living near Kirkfield, left two men named Miller and Dillon chopping wood in the bush, and when he returned Miller Following is the despatch first painted in the papers: The prisoner, Wm. Dillon. is to be tried before the magistrate's court here on Saturday. Instructions have been sent to co‘nstable Ashman and the clerk of Cardenjownship to have plans and maps made. and measurements taken,_ and other ev- idence will be presented to the court. Mr. S. Nevison testified that he saw finger marks on the handle of the axe, caused by blood stains, and noticed blood on the door near the handle. and stains on a towel hang- ing behind the dear. Â¥ Wm. Dillon being deposed said that. he and Millar were good friends. He saw the body lying in the yard at the kitchen door. but. didn't know anything about his death or what caused it. He did ' not see the wounds on the body. He would not sign the deposition. Mr. James Mchlty said that his brother came after him.

Every seat is more than full, and if anyone is pessimistic as to Lindsay's future, he ought to 310 there and hear some of the pupils of eight months read. and observe the periphery of the young heads await- ing development in this congested room . In Miss Walker's room, ‘sr. 3rd grade, more was an attendance of 42. The public schools opened with in- , creased attendance on Monday) after the Easter holidays. There are 77 ’new scholars distributed through the schools of the {our wards. The reâ€" ‘port for the month of March states ' that there were 835 scholars in that month, with an average attendance I of 780, or 94 per cent. The increase .has affected the junior grades most. I as would naturally be expected. and ; in some cases rooms which were be- fore overcrowded have had to receive new comers. ~ oricls is going to ask the board for some pieces of gymnastic aparatus for exercise in these rooms. One room is used by the boys and the other by the- girls. The flush system is used in the lavatories and is most satisfactory.

A visit to the several rooms re- vealed a most interesting ,lot of pupils of healthy, clean appearance, and the teachers have them under A“ {AFTER THE HOLIDAYS : SEVENTY-FIVE NEW SCHOLARS News from the various Ward Schoolsâ€"How the Scholars work and take recreationâ€"Teachers have their hands full The cast ward school has a nice lawn and some shade trees coming to maturity. and altogether it is a fine property. Notes of other schools next. week. classes are ‘in fine working order. Her attendance is affected more than the other rooms at this time 01‘ year, because that some of the boys at the age of fourteen wish to go out into business or to learn trades. And a taste of actual work gives a more practical turn to the youthful character. and should the opportun- ity come of rc-entering school they can takeup studies again, knowing their needs. The school was at ar- ithmetic study yesterday morning. Miss Fanning had given the class six problems to.be worked out mentally. Twenty minutes was allowed to work them out, and some were less than eight minutes doing the six problems. At the end of the time, six of the class had them all perfect.- thnee of them had, five problems done, and one had four. These prob- lems were not easy, One was sim- ilar to problems the fathers and mothers are now thinking about, and they had better advise with these young calculators if they want them accurately worked out. It was this: ”What will it cost to plaster the ceiling of a room 18 by 15 feet at 28 cents per square yard ?" The average man of business would take more than an hour to do the six. and not have them correct «then. The older scholars fire in charge of Miss Fanning, and a. look into her room gives the impression that her Miss Graham has been three months in charge of the junior third grade. There are 33 scholars, an average attendance of 31, being 95 per cent. In her composition class she has‘heen taking up practical sub- jects, one of the late ones being the San Francisco earthquake and fire. The second book class is in charge of Miss 'l‘wamley. She is quite proud of the attendance of her pupils. amd justly so, for the attendâ€" ance this month is practically 100 per cent. There are 40 in attend- ance. This speaks well for the healthfulness o: the locality, the Salk, itary conditions of the school, and the tact of the teacher, and her power to keep the school interested, the boys as well as girls. 1 Miss Limbert just began work on Monday morning with the primary grade. She has altogether 73 scholars. The part time system is used and the classes are so arranged that 52 is the most in thereon: at one time. This relieves the teacher in a measure. asshe has not to have the maximum number under discipline at one time. This system prevails also in other schools, but in many cases it is unsatisfactory, in that it deprives the little ones of the escort of their older brothers‘and sisters and gives the mothers more respon- sibility in getting them to school.
