P. a)!” non- Burketon to Lindsay, and is two and a half miles north- Mdthevillage whosename it bears. From the crest of the gently-slop- in; ‘ hill which overlooks the village on the math, the tourist outains the N511 general view of J anetville. For, .there the altitude is such that the Vhole place lies spread before him apparently upon a level plain at the foot of the hill. In reality, this plain is intersected by several ravines, through which pretty streams leap and sparkle on their way to the lake, and the village winds along the sides, dives into and climbs out of thwe valleys in a careless that appeals to the eye of the let. Despite its inconvenience with respect to the railway stationâ€"an in- convenience which is greatly increas- ed by the fact that there is no pub- lic conveyance between these points â€"Janetville is quite a busy place. i It is about the same size asRose- neath, and contains three well-stockâ€" ed general stores, in one of which is the post office. Besides these there are two black- smith shops; a machine shop, a flour mill and a saw mill. On entering the village from the north the attention of a stranger is at once attracted by a stately man- sion of white brick, surrounded by extensive and well kept grounds. It is the residence and office of Dr. J. Special Notice. II . For the convenience of “Parsifal” patrons the former rule of com- mencing the evening perform- ances at 5.30 and giving a two- hour dinner intermission, has been done away with. During this engagement the entire perform- ance will be given at one sitting. The curtain will rise at 7.45 sharp at the evening performance. Carriages may be ordered at 11.15. Auditors must be in their seats at the rise of first curtain, as no one will be seated during the action of the play. .

Lamb is not recovering as inary surgeon, who is, in his line, 3 today, but long before such a meas- fast as his neighbors and friends skilful and successful practitioner. For a country village. Janetville contains a number of fine public buildings, chief of which is the Me- thodist church. This commodious building of white brick, with stone basement, the whole structure being and. with the street. The stairways lead- ing to the auditorium go up from either side of the interior of the vestibule. This mode of architecture may not present so artistic an ap- pearance, viewed from the exterior, as some other styles, but it does away with the discomfort -â€" danger even â€" of ascending and descending a flight of steps efidosed to the ele- ments especially in winter, ad advant- age which amply atones for any slight lack in architectural beauty. A door in the vestibule communicates with the remaining portion of the basement, or access may be had to it by means of an entrance in the side of the building. There is also a stairway from" the basement to the church which is used for the ingress and egress of the choir and minis- ter. Close beside the church stands the parsonage. This is, as it should be, one of the largest and finest resi- dences in the village. It, too, is built of white brick, with a spacious veranda running along two sides. The interior of the parsonage is also most conveniently arranged. The Orange Society is strong in this neighborhood. They have a neat frame hall on McGill street. Large and more pretentious is the building recm'tly erected on Main street by the C. 0. F.. This serves a variety of purposes” besides that of a meeting place for the society. In the front part of the edifice is lo- cated the Farmers’ Bank, the re- maining portion is used for holding concerts and all kinds of public en- tertainments. At present it is the seat of education during five days of the week. The reason for this unusual condi- tion of affairs is that the school- house with all cdntents was destroy- ed by fire last autumn, so late in the season as to render reâ€"building out of the question until spring. Un- der these circumstances recourse Was had to the Forester’s hall, and a brief description of the primitive conditions under which Miss Luella Cussler, the principal of the school, and-myself perform our daily duties may be of interest to our ydunger Radars capecially. The hall is well lighted, well warmed and. well ventilated. The ceiling, which is high'and arched, is metallic, as are also the side-walls. But the only partition between the ure had been mooted, the good peo- ple of J anetville determined that? their free traffic in fought party won. from the foul blot of legalised strong drink. It was a hard. battle, but the temperance licensed hotel in this village. But an excellent temperance house under the management ,of Mr. James dation to the public. The name “Janetville” was be- stowed in honor of Mrs. McDiarmid, wife of one of the earliest settlers in, the place. Janet being the good lady’s christian name. Thus the village bears a Scotch name, while the inhabitants thereof, with very few exceptions, are Irish. The leading denomination in this part of the country is the Methodist and Janetville congregation is one} of the most prosperous circuits in Lindsay district. At the regular Sunday services the church is well-filled, even when roads and weather are bad. At other times; it is crowded. This speaks well for the character of the community and.. also proclaims the popularity of the pastor, Rev. T. Snowden. . To those who haVe had the pleas-6 ure of acquaintance with Mr. and Mrs. Snowden, nothing further need be said, but for the benefit of oth- ers we may add that the circuit to which Rev. T. Snowdon is assignedl may congratulate itself on having @- cured a minister scholarly, cultured, singularly free from prejudice and bigotry, yet holding fast the essen-l tials of faith. A man who will give them Sunday after Sunday noble and ‘ inspiring thoughts, and throughout. the week will live his sermons. . Mrs. Snowden is to the manorl born, having been the daughter of‘ the parsonage, and is pro-eminently! fitted for the sphere which she. adorns. All departments of church' work are in active operation. J anetville church choir is more than locally' famous, especially for. its male quartette. The dual posi- tion of organist and choir-leader is most efficiently fined by Mrs. Walter McGill. - pretty little burg should be. and for at least a quark. ter of a century there has been nol would wish.

Darrsch, of St. Thomas, the architect who designed the plans for the splendid schools possessed by the Calamity City and who was se- cured by the local Board of Educa- tion to inspect the schools of this town, was here yesterday. He made a tour of inspection of the diluent institutions. It is understood that he was not very favorably impressed with existing conditions. The colleg- iate institute was, he thought, a very good building, but the Central, Frsn~ cis-st., north and east ward struc. tures were most unsatisfactory. .
