As dotibts have been started re- Sr‘oczing the Indian claim to the is- lands in Rice Lake, it may be welli to remark that if the time of the‘ surrender of the country from the head of the Bay of Quinte to the river Ftobicoke, in 1788, Rice Lake has expressly reserved, and does not seem to have been subsequently ced- ed. It is true that there was much. informality in the execution of this treaty that lieutenant-Governor Simcae declared it. not to be bind- ing except as far as the good iaith of the Indians recognized it. They have carried out their share of the bargain, and we conceive that their claim to the islands in Rice Lake should consequently be admitted. S CU G 0G LAKE BAND.

These bands, members of the same tribe, surrendered the greater part of their possessions in 1818 for an annuity of $2,960 (780). The tract so ceded contains 1,951,000 acres, situated in the Newcastle District. They have subsequently purchased 430 acres in addition out of their own funds, 200 acres in Otonabee are also held in trust for the joint benefit of the Rice and Mud Lake Indians.

Not long ago Robert Henderson was hanged here for the murder of Miss McPher- son at Norwood, and now there are two prisoners likely to come up be- fore Sir John Boyd at the high court here on Oct. 25, on the charge of murder. They are James Gorham, of Peterboro, who shot and killed his mother while firing at a policeman. and Hugh Deline of Belmont. the alleged wife murderer. G. N. Gor- don of Peterboro is retained to de- fend Deline. Mr. Reid, of Fenelon Falls, accom- panied Mr. Redford on his pastoral duties to Victoria church on Sun- day last. Miss Clara Powles is visiting with friends in the cataract village. Miss J. Knox has returned to her home here after an absence of a few months in the West. On Thursday last a chicken roast (orlbroil) was enjoyed by many ‘0! the young people of this section at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. Coop- er. We presume that this indicates to a marked degree that the local anniversary services will be a thank ofl‘ering this year, as too much ,1 feasting might prove injurious to the health.

He had a horse with a. sore shoulder, and was given a solution to put on it. He was doing this with a syringe, the solu- tion splattered back in his face, some of it entering one of his eyes. It contained a strong acid, occasion- mg a. bad burn, the injury to the eye being somewhat serious. LINE COMPLETED.

The Ontario Legislature will not meet until March owing to the de' lay in the building of the west wing of the Parliament buildings. The roof is not on yet, and after it is e. great deal of interior work r to be done. For this reason the meeting of the Legislature will be postponed from January until two months later. Work on the new heating plant in the new north wing is being rushed to completion. .It is understood no writ will be issued for a. bye-election in South Welling- ton until Sir J ames Whitney has re- turned from Great Britain.
