The River Connection been received for (30., No tenders having blasting the trench across the river, the communication of Mr. “111. Walâ€" ters, of July 10th. was then taken for reconsideration. His offer up was $425 for doing the work. the commissioners to arrange. for the swing of the boom. had Mr. Begbic. explained that. lie gone carefully into the question and was prepared to recommend an offer of 3500 to leave the work complete. but would recommend that the. work on drilling be carried on at night .so as to interfere with navigation as as to interfere with navigation as little as possible. Mr. Flavcllc stated it would be a. mistake to interfere with navigation for a. saving of $75. Mayor 1ngleâ€"â€"â€""How long will it, take 1’" Mr. Begbieâ€"“About three weeks." Mr. Hopkinsâ€""But it would not be necessary to keep a man to swing the boom that length of time." Mr. Begbieâ€"“No; the man would be employed at other work." Mr. Flavcllc stated that any work that was subject to repeated inter- ruptions was more costly._ They could not get on so fast. Mayor Ingleâ€"â€""Is the. offer a fair one for the work required." Mr. Flavellc stated that he had considerable experience with work in water with their flume and he had found it; costly wo‘rk. Mr. Mchllioâ€"â€"â€"”Have you explain-- ed to Mr. Walters that. the work will have to be done at night?” Mr. Begbiwâ€"“Yes; I told him the other work could be done for $60 to '75, but he thought it would run from $75 to 3100.” Mr. Mchllieâ€"“Js he willing to undertake the work at $500?" Mr. Begbieâ€"“Yes: he also explain- ed that it would require $30 worth of dynamite to do the work. Mr. Flavclle favored accepting Mr. Walter's offer. Mayor Inglc pointed out that if it were not for swinging the boom for passing steamers and scows the work could be done for less. Moved by Mr. McNeiIIie, seconded by Mr. Brady, that the contract for blasting tunnel across the river be given to Mr. Wm. Walters for $500, on the understanding that he is not to impede navigation and that a. proper contract be drawn up and entered intoâ€"Carried. Mr. Bogbieâ€"-“.\'o: it is also under- gtood that. he will cover the pipes with the stones. Mr. Flavellcâ€"â€""\\'ill it make any difierenw to Kennedy Davis in putting in fire protection." 2 Work to be 0 not to Interfere Moved by Mr. McNeillie, seconded by Mr. Brady, that thé superintend- ant be and is hereby instructed to proceed with the balance of the work of laying the pipes across.thc river forthwithâ€"Carried. ‘ Laying in Coal The secretary explained that he had asked for tenders for coal from Messrs.

The rate was fixed at $6 for {house and $3 for lawn. Mr. Flavelle made. a comparison of the tenders and found that Mcâ€" Lcnnan .' Co‘s. was the lowest. The communication of Mr. M. O'- Iialloran was reconsidered and after tomparison with other; water takers the secretary was instructed to noti- fy Mr. O'Hallomn that. his request could not be entertained.

A clock owned in England is run by balls which fall into pockets on the right side of a wheel. which rovolws and operates the works. The halls drop mto a drawer when the wheel revolves far enough. The clock ls “wound up" by placing the halls in a receptacle on top of the clock. The first anthracite coal known to be such was discovered at Mauch Chunk. Pa.. in 1791. The Lehigh Coal Mining company began business in the same year. making a commodity of the re- cent discovery.

Mr. James Campbell, who lives west, of this town", lost a valuable mare last week. “Mr. Waffle, please return, your presence is required immediately." Such was the message that flashed over the wires a. short time ago to Mr. Win. Waflle, our local issuer of marriage licences, who was absent from Coboconk on business. Of course he returned with all possible haste in time to grant the licence, and the couple were made happy. The bride, a dashing young widow, of about fortyâ€"five or fifty, looked charming in a. travelling suit of dark brown, the bodice of which was com- pletely covered in front with tissue paper flowers, of all the splendid colors of the rainbow. The happy couple drove through Norland that evening, on their wedding trip. GARDEN l The people of this municipality are1 at a. loss to know what, the council mean in regard to the building of the bridge across the canal at the 7th con. Our honorable council met I think last March. At that time the government requested them to decide which they wanted done, the bridge or a, certain road. The coun- cil quite naturally said we want the bridge as the abandonment of the ;bridge would shut; a. few families off from the northern part of the town- ship.
