Mr. Ardill being appointed to the vacant trusteeship. Mr. Schenk presented report. No. 1 of Printing Committee which recom- mended the payment of sundry print- ing accounts. Mr. Harness introduced the follow- ing resolution: That it would ap~ pear on account of a. recent amend- ment to the criminal code that it would be in the public interest to appoint acommittee composed of the following members, viz: Messrs. Preston, Agnew, Gordon, McKinnon and the mover to obtain all possible infcriuation, both as to cost and size of buildings and the most suitable quality of land, for the purpose of a House of Refuge, and report at the January session of this Council. This resolution was carried, and the Council adjourned till Friday even- )1)“. Mr. McKinnon presented Report No. :3 of Road and Bridge Committee, which dealt with bridge repairs ac- counts and was on resolution adopted A report from the Communication and Memorial Committee was pres- ented by Mr. McCelernan. It con- tained nOthing of any great import- ance. On resolution a by-law was put through its several readings to appoint Mr. John Brown, of Durham, an arbitrator in the stead of Mr. Jno. McDonald in the matter of the an- nexing of certain lands now in the town of Owen Sound to the township of Sydenham. A resolution to sub- stitute the name of C. R. Sing, of Mealord, for that of Mr. John Brown in the By-law was ofiered but failed to carry. Mr. Harness moved the following resolution, which was put to Council but lost on a division: That in ac- cordance with notice of motion given at last January session, the Warden and Clerk be instructed to prepare a memorial to be presented for the Ontario Legislature asking that body to so amend the Municipal Act, as that the County Councils shall be composul of the senior councillors of towns and the reeves of the town- ships and villages in the several counties, believing assuredly they are in tcuch with the ratepayers in their several local municipalities. and better understand the require- ments of the constituents; and fur- ther by this method every munici- pality included in the County would have representation in the County Council; and in matters of money votes justice might be secured to the large municipalities by giving their reeves a plurality of votes according to numbers and assessment. The yeas on the motion were Messrs. Gordon. Harness. Preston, Pringle. Ries,3hute, (6) Nays-Agnew. Allan McArthur, McColeman. McDonald, McKinnon, Schenk, Watson and the Warden. (9). Council adjourned until Saturday morning. Warden G. A. Brown was very happy in his opening address. which may be summarized as follows: He referred to the harmony which had existed a: previous meetings during his tenure of oflice and expressed the hope that the same good feeling would continue. He was glad to get back to the Court House again, although they had all enjoyed the genuine hospitality extended to the members at the June sesssion in Markdale. Reference was also made to the fact that the last session held at the court house was full of painful memories, the chamber then being draped out of respect to the memory of Queen Victoria, who had just pass- ed away. Great Britain had since passed through many trials by reaion of the war in South Africa and Can- adahad also shared in the loss of many good men which this terrible County Council.

Since their last meeting the peOple of the United States had suflered the loss of their president at the hands of a dastardly assassin, and the untoward event had called forth the sympathy of the Canadian people in a marked degree. Reference was also mede to the growth of Canada and the develop- ment of New Ontario, which had proven to he almost boundless in ex- tent and practically unlimited in natural resources. Navigation re- turns showed a vast increase in the passenger traffic and the tonnage car- ried, the immense products of the great west being largely reaponsible for this development. The facilities were not yet in keeping with the de- mand, but the railway companies at. 0. Sound and Meaford were adding to their facilities and still greater things were anticipated. The time had now arrived for constructing a house of refuge and equalizing the t’tssessxnent. both of which he hoped would be dealt with by the Council in a prOpm' spirit. The question of athpting a humane system for the care of the poor and unfortunate was an urgent one and he hoped to see it pushed (11011;; as rapidly as pos- sible.

Mrs. Maher lives near Nixon. The walk- ing being bad on the road, she took the track, and had got about a mile and a quarter on her way when the train approached her. The engineer seeing her, blew his whistle. On hearing the signal the woman step- ped 03 the track and on again as the train neared. and she was struck and instantly killed. The remains were brought to the station here. The case is being investigated. Kick 21 dog and he bites you. He bites you and you kick him.

If theije is going to be a change the help must come from outside. Scott’s Emulsion is the right help. It breaks up such a combination. First it sets the stomach right. Then it en- riches the blood. That strengthens the body and it begins to grow new flesh. A strong body makes rich blood and rich blood makes a strong body. Each makes the other better.

By-law was passed to provide for polling places to appoint deputy-re- turning oificers, for holding election-s during the year 1902, to fix salaries for deputy-returning oflicers and poll clerks, and rent for polling booths, also to appoint a place for holding nominations. The polling places and deputy returning officers are the same as in last year. Deputy return- ing officers to be paid $3 a day and mileage. poll clerks $1.50 per day. rent for polling booths 32.50 per day.

It looks as though the house of refuge may become a fact in the near future. The county council is meet- ing this week, and at the June session, it will be remembered. notice was given that the question would be brought up at this session. It is understood that Mr. John McDonald will withdraw his opposition, and if he does so it is. believed that the division in favor of the house of re- fuge will carry the day. The neces- sity of such a refuge for the aged poor is quite generally recognized now, and definite steps _to the much desired end may be taken within the next few daysâ€"Owen Sound Times Joseph Black, of Proton, is under the impression that our report of the sad death of his wife casts some re- flection on him. If such meaning was taken out of the report it was not intdnded. The report stated that the hired help were out on that even- ing. The fact of the matter is the hired girl left four days before Mrs. Black’s death. Mr. Black’s statement about the poisons in the house is easily eXplained. He was trying to scare her as the more he looked after her the more trouble she tried to give him. Mr. Black is a man who stands high in the estimation of his neigh- bors, and his truthful statements at the inquest show that he had no de- sire to conceal anything in the mat- ter, consequently there is no doubt hanging over his head.-â€"Shelburne Free Press. ire Banishcd by Dr. Agnew’s Oatarrhal Powder.
